Indeed the AFCON is full of surprises, I honestly have not been able to predict any game accurately since the competition started. The small sides are showing they can be a problem for the bigger teams. I wonder how the betting public are doing. I think the percentage of gamblers that have won their bets on AFCON games this year will be affected by the current state of the tournament. Overall, there hasn’t been a lot of action so far, there hasn’t been a lot of goals in the tournament, a safe bet would be to stake a under 2.5 goals.
I've been following up the games in the African Cup Of Nations since it was kicked off and I totally agree with you on your opinion about the difficulty in predicting games. Just like you, I've been unable to predict a game before kick-off and that's to tell how surprising most of the results in the tournament have been many of us.

I watched the game between Mauritania and Angola this evening and i was very surprised by the performance of Mauritania in that particular game. For the first time in the nation's history, they were able to score for the first in the CAF African Cup Of Nations from open play. They narrowly lost the game but were very close to taking a point from that game. It's actually been a very interesting tournament if you ask me

That yesterday match of Cape Verde vs Mozambique was also interesting and I was not thinking of Cape Verde to beat Mozambique 3-0. Cape Verde was having the strong confidence to win the game and Mozambique defense was not strong enough to defend their area. Though the keeper tried his best to keep but the defense was too open for him to keep. And as I said earlier, I have not chosen any team yet until the knockout stage.
I did not watch them play but sincerely speaking I am not just assuming, Africans are now getting much better with their style of playing from the ball being on the ground unlike before when the ball always on the air and going down to their passes which they should work more on, i love their goal scoring very perfect and beautiful.
Cape Verde yesterday defeated Mozambique by three goals to nil to become the first country that's participating in this year's CAF African Cup Of Nations to book their place in the knockout stages of the tournament. In a group that contains football nations like Ghana and Egypt, Cape Verde have surprisingly leading the group B and doesn't even need a result from their last game of the group stage to play in the knockout stages.

Before the tournament kicked off, Cape Verde were no were near the top five favourite teams that was backed by bookmakers to win the tournament but with their impressive results and performances in their first two matches of the tournament, they're now considered as a big threat. Hopefully for them, they'll reach at least the semi final of the competition.

Arsenal 5-0 crystal palace
A completely bad day for Crystal Palace, they did not create any sufficient threat or attempts to score a goal and Arsenal had all the chances in the game, controlled the midfield and scored five goals. It will be a big motivation for Arsenal to reignite their title chase again. For Crystal Palace Manager, his job is on the line, because Crystal Palance did not play well and have been having a series of bad results in the premier league. The result takes Arsenal to third on the table of the premier league. There is a lot of focus on Brentford and Nottingham Forest now, if any of them wins the game, they will push Crystal Palace down the more on the table.
For someone who didn't watch the game, the result proves that Crystal Palace were totally outclassed in their English Premier League game at Arsenal this after which is undoubtedly true but I think there were moments in the game that the away team showed some brilliance in the game as well. Eberechi Eze in some was Crystal Palace biggest threat in the game but Arsenal defenders never allowed him to score from those brilliant runs today.

Should any team win in the game that'll be later played today between Brentford and Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace are gonna move down from their current position in the league standings of 14th to 15th position. However, I'm confident they're not gonna be relegated this season.

A lovely header goal from Gabriel, just 10mins into the game and Arsenal is already on fire. We expect much more goals coming in, maybe 2 more before the end of first half.
I think crystal palace have a lot of defensive work to do today because the gunners are ready and not willing to loose this game.
The game between Arsenal and Crystal Palace have ended and it ended in a 5:0 scoreline with the north London club emphatically beating their opponents in the first march of the weekend in the English Premier League. Arsenal were ruthless in the game as well as very clinical in front of the goal post.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wouldn't have wanted a better result and the smile on his face after final whistle tells how much impressed he is with the result. Considering the point difference between the top teams in the English Premier League, it's absolutely clear that we are in for a dramatic end to the English Premier League season.
1225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 20, 2024, 02:46:42 PM
Crystal Palace has lost already, with the looks of things and Arsenal is in more control of the pace and possession. I like the fact Trossad could score to seal the win, although with few minutes to go, I doubt Crystal palace could do much.
If they have more chances to add up to the goal margin, they should because they need more goal difference to finish strong incase there is tie in point.
Injury time, and it's 3-0, Crystal Palace has failed to capitalize on their goal scoring opportunities, allowing the hosts to weaken them with a superb performance; of course, this is the type of match that Arsenal cannot afford to lose because they as well are hoping to enter the race. Crystal Palace lost and failed to score a goal for creating the game GG. They allowed Arsenal to take advantage of them without completely utilizing their power. Arsenal won while also dominating the pitch. This is a straightforward victory for Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.

Finally Arsenal can win again after 3 previous matches they could not win. A landslide score of 5-0 could not be avoided by Crystal Palace. Arsenal can create a quick goal before the time has not entered the first 15 minutes. In the 37th minute they can double the position through an own goal created by the opposing player.
In the second half they were more comfortable and managed to create another goal in the 59th minute. I thought the score would not change because entering added time the score was still the same. But Martinelli didn't want to miss out on scoring, and interestingly he scored 2 goals in just 2 minutes.
They should have played like this, because I haven't seen Arsenal like this before. If they can maintain their performance it is not impossible that they will be able to become champions, although it will be difficult to do.
This victory they increased their points collection to 43 points, the same points as Manchester City, but Manchester City still has one match yet to be played.
Arsenal's performance this afternoon against Crystal Palace I think is one of their best performances in the English Premier League since the start of the season and I think it shows how determined they are as a team to make sure they return to the submit of the league table. Before the game, Arsenal had lost three of their past four league games while drawing one and that made many people to question the teams strength to be competitive enough to win the English Premier League title this season.

However, their performance in today's game against Crystal Palace have gone a long way to send a strong message to other teams on the league that Arsenal are still capable of winning the league this season.
1226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: January 20, 2024, 02:40:03 PM
To be honest, yes. I would definitely become worried if ever I see my mother gambling. Aside from I don’t want to see her losing her funds, but I’m much worried on how her wealth will react to every losses and frustrations she will endure from gambling.

It’s certain that old aged people become more emotional and tend to easily faint whenever they don’t meet their expectations, most particularly with gambling that it’s certainly more of losses than wins. Even if she’ll tell me that she’s responsible with her losing funds, but come to think of it, no son/daughter will be happier seeing his/her mother falling in gambling addiction.
Gambling like I always say is an engagement that should only be associated with young people and that's why there's no way I'm gonna be happy to see my mother engaging in gambling. The nervousness that comes with gambling is better endured by young people but to persons above 50 years, it might be detrimental to their health.

If I happen to notice that my mother is engaging in gambling, I'll definitely not be happy with it and would confront her to know exactly why she's gambling. After the confrontation, I'll make her see reasons with me on why she's not supposed to involve herself in gambling and why I don't find it pleasing I believe she's gonna stop after hearing from me
1227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one did you use to gamble with more on: January 20, 2024, 02:32:39 PM
While I used on staking before the match starts, I realized on the way that betting on live match is entertaining too.

Especially in basketball, on NBA, there's always a case where a team is downed 20+ points and will still end up winning at the end.

In here, obviously you can expect a good odds at these team that were downed by big points and if you were able to ride on betting on it and face the risks, you can take home a good profit in return. We really need to watch these games live to somehow able to analyze if these team who are downed by many points have the chance to bounce back later in the game.

Betting during live games is fun, because the odds are changing so quickly after a goal and we might be able to take advantage of a comeback. The problem for me is that my live bets never seem to work out. In general I would say that I am doing fine with sports betting as long as I place my bets a few days before the match. In many cases I tried to protect a bet or increase my payout by betting during a live match, only to end up ruining my initial bet and making a loss. These 20+ points comeback stories are awesome to watch, but whenever I bet on it doesn't seem to happen. I know it's not very likely these underdog stories are turning into success and that I should only bet very small, but still I can't break even. In football and basketball the team that is behind needs to take more risk to still win, what can just lead to them losing more. Which is why I took a break from live betting and try to enjoy the match, believing into my initial predictions.
Personally, I think sports betting is just the best gambling platform and like you stated, betting on live games are fun do even when it sometimes backfires. Two days ago during a game in the CAF African Cup Of Nations, I was watching a game and while it was still goalless, I saw that one particular team was performing better and looks like a team who were gonna win the game. I opened my sports betting account and funded it some money, staked on the team to win and they won the game by a lone goal which confirmed my gambling winning.

Other people find passion in staking on other games but I prefer sports betting and will always do because they're more relatable to me than any other gambling platform.

Now everyone's doubts about Arsenal seem to be in vain. Because now Arsenal have let us all know that they have improved again. Because currently Arsenal is playing against Crystal Palace and is winning 1-0. Arsenal now just have to be more focused and keep playing well as they are currently. Because the match will still be quite long. Because the match has only just entered the 25th minute. And Crystal Palace also still has many opportunities to equalize.

But I felt that Arsenal might score again in the first half.
I also had doubts about Arsenal's current condition, friend. But after they managed to get a 2 goal lead in the first half, I think my hesitation was a mistake.
Initially I was going to bet on Arsenal but I then passed on it because of the doubts I had.

But even though Arsenal will win this match, I still feel that Arsenal have not completely returned to their best performance. Because Crystal Palace was actually quite good in this match. It's just that they haven't been able to take advantage of the opportunity well.


They are in control of the game against Crystal Palace for now, but I wonder if they will allow Crystal Palace a goal that brings them back into the game and then Arsenal would get themselves into trouble in a game that they should have won easily by then. It has been a problem a few times now that they didn't end the game before the final whistle was blown. It needs one goal for Crystal Palace and the action is back in the game. They should try to score the third goal and then they can lean back. But Arsenal sometimes does that too early.
Arsenal are in full control of the game and have already added another goal to make it 3:0. It was a brilliant ball from the goalkeeper which which found Gabriel Jesus in the right direction of Arsenal's attack, the Brazilian controlled the ball well before passing the ball past two Crystal Palace to reach Trossard who was running in from the left side of the attack. The Belgium international have to cut in and fired a powerful shot past Crystal Palace goalkeeper to extend Arsenal's lead in the game.

Crystal Palace have been outclassed in the game and with that goal, they're surely do not have any chance of getting back into the game. Beautiful football from the Gunners I must say.

Fenerbahçe will play against Samsunspor tomorrow. Samsunspor is an easy opponent for us, but every game in this league now has a final atmosphere because Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are very close to each other, so some points lost in the league may not be recoverable. If we score the first goal in the early minutes of this game, we can play a comfortable game. We had a difficult time against Gaziantep because we couldn't do that and I hope we won't make the same mistake in this game.
For a team to be playing to be playing in the first division of the Turkish Super Lig, it simply means that they're a strong team in their own ranks and that's why Galatasaray aren't expected to leave underestimate the strength of their opponents in this weekend's league game. In 20 league games this season, Samsunspor have been able to gather 21 points and are currently 16th in the league table.

Galatasaray knows how important the game is to them to still remain in good position to overtake Fenerbahce at the top of the league table and would do everything within their strength to make sure they grab all three points from the game. I think it'll be an easy win for Galatasaray.

After being left behind by Henderson, Al-Ettifaq moved again to bring in European players and this time their choice fell on Abdoulaye Doucouré from Everton. I think Al-Ettifaq are on the right track in dealing with the problems left by Henderson and in any case they need a good enough midfielder before the half-season of the Saudi league starts again.

On the other hand, Everton wants to keep Abdoulaye Doucouré because his role is very important in the squad and is a key player at the club. I understand that every team wants to do everything they can so that their players don't leave, but if Al-Ettifaq's offer is tempting enough, Everton won't be able to refuse the big money later. At least they can get new players with this money and Al-Ettifaq can get the midfielder they want. Let's see the next transfer developments, whether Abdoulaye Doucouré will join Al-Ettifaq or not.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1748687720195510603
After Jordan Henderson left Al Ettifaq, I know they're surely gonna find a world class player that's capable of replacing the England international in the team and I think they're on the right track with their efforts to bring Everton's Abdoulaye Doucouré to the Saudi club. Doucouré if signed, I think will bring so much quality and experience to the clubs midfield as he's proven over the year that he can survive in any league in the world with his impressive performances for his club Everton.

Everton had some issues earlier this season which led to their points deduction by the English Premier League authorities though it wasn't financial related,  I think Everton will not be able to resist Al Ettifaq's offer of they're too juicy. The deal isn't yet confirmed, but hopefully I think it's gonna be confirmed anytime soon.

I have doubt that arsenal will no find the match difficult since their going to meet crystal palace and although that crystal palace is a weak team, and now that arsenal have returned with their full performance let's hope for victory. Furthermore arsenal can move to 3rd  place on the if the win while Liverpool can open up a 5point lead ahead of Manchester city, then Brighton can overtake Manchester United if they put much effort and get all 3 point against wolves, while west ham can able to move closer to top 4. The Arsenal match is about to start, therefore let's hope for win. I'm positive Arsenal will prevail.
I'm also positive, Arsenal will come out victorious against Crystal Palace but it's kind of challenging. Mikel Arteta wouldn't entertain any actions that would hinder him and his team from accumulating three points, we know how important it is for Arsenal to overcome their opponents. The match kickoff and its 25th minutes in play. Arsenal leading with 1-0 and this is probably one of the best styles to hold on the game. We should expects more exciting actions from the visitors at Emirates stadium, because they're also competitive.
Currently, Arsenal is playing better than Crystal Palace and Arsenal will likely score a second goal in this match. They are dominating the match and gaining possession. Crystal Palace is a dangerous team for Arsenal because they are not reluctant in the match and they are motivating themselves to see if they will equalize the goal, which I think is possible in this first half. However Arsenal defense is strong and they are not giving any chance to Crystal Palace to pass through them, but maybe a beautiful shot from outside the box might be helpful. It was a marvelous goal by Gabriel with a brilliant header that put Arsenal on the lead on the 11th minutes. It is 10mins to the end of the first half and Asernal has just scored the second goal with a beautiful header by Gabriel again. Two goals and all were with his head, this is wonderful.

Arsenal 2-0 Cryst Palace
Arsenal have easily been the best team on the pitch in this particular game this afternoon and doesn't look like they're gonna lose their two goals advantage. Crystal Palace is doing their best to make sure they stop Arsenal from scoring more goals and make it and embarrassing defeat but I think Mikel Arteta's men are trying to make sure the game is won and sealed in the first half.

Arsenal defender Gabriel have been the hero of the game as he the player that registered the two goals and looks great in confidence whenever he has the ball on his feet. From what I've seen so far, think it's safe to say that Arsenal are going to grab all three points from the game.
1232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 19, 2024, 11:40:49 PM
Crystal palace might be an opportunity that Arsenal do not want this weekend. Crystal palace is not a team you want to play when you are struggling for form as a team because they are a tough crack, a quality team which can spring surprises to any team

Can Arsenal escape at home with all 3 points ?
Accumulating 3 points is not easy as it seems, we have a lot of work for those that are interested in gambling because they've to do the comparison of previous meetings and the present form of both teams. Passing through their previous meetings, Arsenal have the upper hand of winning because they're home and hosts barely loses three points. Crystal Palace sits 14th position on the table while Arsenal are in the top four which is a good distance for Gunners to fight and find their way back to the top. We know how difficult it become for Mikel Arteta if his team failed to make the necessary winnings observed.
Though Arsenal have not been as consistent as they were in the beginning of the season and that has caused them their place at the top of the league table. But playing against Crystal Palace tomorrow in the English Premier League, I think it'll be an easy win  for the Gunners.

Mikel Arteta's men might not be able to finish the season as the league title winners,  but I expect them to at least finish in the top four and book their spot for next season's UEFA champions league competition. The battle for who finishes in the top four of the league table at the end of the season just got more interesting and exciting.
1233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: January 19, 2024, 11:30:06 PM
When we don't care about what people say about us as a gambler, we would also know that some people might be right about us and may be trying to help us out especially our family members trying to make us stay away from gambling to reduce our gambling addictions.
Thinking about this point specifically, it gives us a good reason to not completely ignore other people's opinions about our gambling habits. If we are going too far with our bets and losing money we shouldn't be losing, people around are probably willing to help through advices. In case we don't care about what they are telling, says more about the addicted gambler himself than the people who are advising him, as it's also a serious symptom presented by addicted individuals. They think to be right all the time and don't accept the fact they are suffering from an addiction.
Without being told each and everyone of us knows that betting is not the type of business that in the one should glory about. Gambling is not a noble profession and it is not even a profession, it is unethical and in most societies it is prohibited. Having this in mind is what makes some gamblers pretend as if they do not gamble but in their secret places they do. If you look around your neighborhood you will also understand that there are people who have already useless themselves because of gambling. There are people who do not have single type of project year inn year out because of gambling and yet they work and earn. If you have also observant you will understand that there are some people who are very much addicted to gambling and they appear poor in the society. The number of the people who are disadvantaged by gambling is higher than the number of people who became successful through gambling. You therefore have no reasons to be sad if someone already categorized you as someone who is not going to be successful in the future because they saw you gambling. It is now at your own court to prove the people wrong by gambling with difference. Tell them that you are civilized and strive to be even better and not to become what they think of you. With such a criticism, it will serve as a watch word to you in case you are going extreme in gambling. In a nutshell, you need to consider what more than one person had said about you.

Moise Kean has a deal with Atletico Madrid.

If Correa will leave Madrid he will join the until the end of the season.


Moise Kean's market value is nearly the same as Angel Correa's. Kean is a much younger version of Correa as well. Both player can play as centre-forwards even though Correa's natural position is right wing. I think this could be a good investment by Atletico Madrid. Kean has played in 12 games with Juventus so far in the season but 0 goal.

I think he just doesn't belong with them. Maybe Atletico Madrid can be a second chance for the young player to improve his finishing skills and become a much better player in the long term.
Moise Kean during his early days at Juventus showed great signs of a footballer who was going become one of the best players in the world. It's been long I last saw him on the screen playing  football for Juventus but I also think he will be a great signing for Atletico Madrid should they complete his signing. Statistics have proven that he's been prolific this season for Juventus and that's why I think he's gonna succeed at Atletico Madrid should the deal materialize.

Nigeria got the victory but for how long are our mediocre performance going to last us in this competition? I'm hoping that we improve as the competition progresses otherwise we don't go very far in the tournament with this level of performance.
Seriously, Nigeria's performance is not really impressive, they are struggling to win most of their matches, which is really wrong. The first match that they played was against Equatorial Guinea. Nigeria struggled to play a draw in the match, which is not supposed to be like that. Equatorial Guinea wasn’t supposed to give Nigeria a difficult moment in the match, the match should have been an easy win for Nigeria, but I was just disappointed with the opportunities Nigeria wasted in the match. I noticed there was little improvement in Nigeria's performance in their last match, which was against Ivory Coast, but Nigeria should still improve their performance.
I do not know why Nigerians always expect much from their players in every tournament. For the fact that they are the giant of Africa does not mean that everything should go in their favor. The super eagles of Nigeria have played two matches and we are able to get four points out of these two matches, instead of Nigerians to praise them and encourage them to do more you see Nigeria criticizing them all over the internet. Have you forgotten that this is African Nations cup competition? Do you think that it is easy.

In case you guys have forgotten, Nigeria was not able to go to the last world cup but country like Cameroon went and they were able to beat Brazil in that world cup. What is the point of Cameroon in this Nations cup, were they not defeated by Senegal? We should also remember that Ghana has been a strong force in the African competition recently, Ghana has played two matches were there able to win anyone? Seeing the performance of these two countries and other ones should make us to glorify Nigerian super eagles and not to let them down with our unpatriotic talks.

This weekend in the Spanish la Liga

Real Madrid face Almeria
Real betis hosts Barcelona
Girona Hosts Sevilla

Girona remains league leaders with 1 point ahead of Real Madrid who have a game in hand while Atletico Madrid struggling to get back into the top 4 plays Granada

What are your predictions for the weekend
With the above listed fixtures in the Spanish La Liga this weekend, it's obvious that it's gonna be a very entertaining and interesting weekend in the Spanish La Liga. Real Madrid will host Almeria after they were beaten by Atletico Madrid during the week and I don't think Real Madrid will struggle to beat their visitors in that particular one. Barcelona playing away at Real Betis is also another important fixture as the Catalan club will need a win to still remain in the race to win the UEFA champions league competition. Girona playing against Sevilla will also be an easy game for the host team to secure all three points and extend their lead at the top of the league standings.

Easy win for Inter Agains Lazio.

As predicted the final of Monday will be between Inter and Napoli.

Inter is the big favorite here.

A well deserved win for the better opponent Inter Milan tonight they proved again that they are ready to win trophies this season as they are set to face the current league winners Napoli in the finals. Napoli has not been in good for this season but watching them defeat fiorentina 3:0 to progress to the final when they are under performing in the league matches shows that they can  shock a more balanced Inter Milan team in the finals on Monday. My prediction will be on Napoli to win and am placing my bet on them hoping to get something big if they manage to win.
The more Inter Milan are praised by the club supporters, the more they're winning more games and with their result of tonight's game in the Supercoppa Italiana against Lazio, it's now clear that Inter Milan wants to make sure they win every competition they're playing in this season.

In Europe, Inter Milan comfortably progressed to the knockout stages after an impressive performance while in the Italian Serie A table, they're at the top of the league standings as well competing in the Copa Italia. The Inter Milan are simply one of the best teams in not just Italy but in the whole of Europe

Erling Haaland is most important part for Manchester City and has small opportunity without him will get highest phase in this season, if can't recovery as soon possible I doubt with their opportunity will lead until final round for this season or not.
Haaland is not the most important player in Manchester City's team, he also contributes to the team's success in the last Champions League victory; If the team have him, it will be an added advantage but without him, they will still play well since De Bruyne is back from Injury.

Yes, having Haaland will increase the attacking power for the better, but if we flashback to last season when in the semi-finals and final of the UCL he couldn't do anything because his movements were always broken by Madrid and Inter Milan's back line, actually I don't think so either. Haaland can do a lot in the UCL this season, even though he has always been Guardiola's mainstay in the front line. KDB's return is actually more than enough.

Without Haaland, it seems that Manchester City will be fine in facing their opponents in the UCL. I think they will be successful again this season in reaching the final because Manchester City has risen from adversity since KDB managed to recover from injury. I also hope that Manchester City will win the title again this season. this is as perfect as they did last season, no matter without Haaland I think with the main squad which is currently more than enough in my view.

The round of 16 will soon start where they will face Copenhagen who managed to become Runner UP in group A which is quite difficult but they managed to escape with a surprise, I think Manchester City cannot underestimate them, even so they could make things difficult for Manchester City later.
If Haaland is not in the squad, Man city will still win their matches, but if De Bruyne is not in the squad, a big problem for Man city a d they might have difficulties winning matches. Man City is on the relieve now that De Bruyne is back because he is a key player in the team. However, I don't think that Haaland will do all those goal scoring if Dr Bruyne is not in the match because De Bruyne assist is what hpd him to score more goals. What a bad season for Haaland, he has not scored much goals this season and I don't think he will be among the highest goal scorers this season. Round of 16 is a win win for Man City, but the next round might be difficult for them because they be meet a strong team.
Erling Haaland have been Manchester City's highest goalscorer for the past two weeks and it's absolutely understandable when people come up with the opinion that Manchester City are going to  struggle in the knockout stages of the UEFA champions league competition if for any reason he fail to return on time for their games.

However, we mustn't forget that Manchester City is managed by Pep Guardiola who knows how to rotate his squad, pick new formations in important game and still end up winning those games. Even without the presence of Haaland, Manchester City I think are still gonna have a successful season in the UEFA champions.

I want to see how Paris Saint Germain do in the Champions League this season, they are in the round of 16 and will face Real Sociedad who are not favored over them. But given Paris Saint Germain's inconsistent form in the Champions League, it raises my doubts about them.
Maybe they will be able to win the match in this round and go to the next round, but in the next round I am not sure about them, because in the next round their opponents will be much improved from this round of 16.
Their main target every season is to win the Champions League title, but that is not matched by the promising game they can show. It is impossible for them to rely on luck alone, because luck also needs something that can make the luck come, in this case a better game.
PSG qualify in the round of 16 and the team they will face doesn't seem to be a threat for them. Real Sociedad are completely no challenge for PSG. Luis Enrique is a promising coach but winning the UCL trophy in his first year managing Les Parisiens have slim chances and personally, I don'tsee that happening, probably not now. Lifting the UEFA Champions League title this season won't be an easy task for Les Parisiens because they need to apply strong force of concentration. I can't justify the act that Paris Saint-Germain are not giving up but pressing for good results.
The current owners and management of Paris Saint Germaine have invested hugely in the club over the years to make sure they win the UEFA Champions League trophy but despite all their efforts, their best season in the competition was in 2019/20 season that they reached the final of the competition before they were beaten by eventual winners Bayern Munich.

This season in the champions league, Paris Saint Germaine's performance haven't been that convincing as they struggled to progress from the group stage but I expect them to still have a great season in the competition because they've got all the quality players needed to win it. Their current manager Luis Enrique won the competition with Barcelona in 2015 and isn't ignorant of how difficult the competition is.

The story is pretty much old and we already saw Paris Saint Germain wanted to keep Mbappe in the team while Real Madrid tried to increase the offer and put more pressure on this team to finally reach a deal with Mbappe and hire this French player but I don't think if they can ever hire Mbappe easily because if Paris Saint Germain lose Mbappe they will definitely have problems with finding any alternative players to fill his place in the team because there is no a player who can fill his place in Paris Saint Germain.

If Kylian Mbappe exits Parc des Princes stadium, ofcourse the game performance of PSG will decline because there are quite extensive energy of the team that would dropped most specifically the frontlines of PSG. If he leaves, PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Luis Enrique will come together to solve another problem and bring out swift solutions, when I mean solutions it indirectly means PSG will sign potential forwards that would stand a chance of replacing Kylian Mbappe. It's high time the Frenchman make his final decision regarding the moves and trends because it's becoming obvious, it's always on the top trends of football news which have turned to become more tiring to read the news prior to Kylian Mbappe.

Isn't it already obvious Kylian Mbappe wouldn't be extending his contract with Paris Saint Germans this season? If he wanted the contract, he'd have done that few days already,  that's a tempting offer to him from the club but he has been mute over the contract placed on his table.

It's the wrong time to also see him sign up for PSG, because he has stayed alll this year's in League 1 amd has nothing to write about. He should move out and explore elsewhere.

Not sure if it's Real Madrid bit he should definitely leave. It's time they start preparing for his exit and bring in players as replacement. Even when the best players leave the club, the club still push up. They'll be good without him..
Kylian Mbappe without doubt have been the best Paris Saint Germaine player of the last three seasons as his statistics for the club strongly backs my claims but for the past seven months, there's been series of reports concerning his future at the club. Last summer, the French international was offered many transfer deals including a deal that'll make him the highest paid footballer in the world which he outrightly rejected. The management of the club have tried to convince him commit his future at the club by extending his contract with the club but every effort to actualize that have been abortive.

For Kylian Mbappe not to have extended his contract with the French champions by this time despite playing in the last season of his current contract, I don't think he's interested in signing and contract extension paper at the club. Mbappe I think is definitely gonna leave Paris Saint Germaine at the end of the season i think his potential destination is gonna be Real Madrid
