Roma vs Juventus is currently the match of the year, what an interesting match, Roma was carried away thinking that they cannot loose with the fact that they are leading by two goals, Pellegrini could have leveled it up, a poor penalty from him cost them, Juventus really fought hard, can't believe that they can score good three goals in just 11min.

Manchester United 1-0 Aston Villa
I watched the game, it was another woeful display by Manchester United and even though they won it was clear to see how far they have fallen while they search for the perfect manager to take them forward. Aston Villa played their part well, had 2 goals correctly disallowed but they played well and took the game to their opponents.
Aston Villa are knocked out but next for Manchester United in the 4th Round is another home game against Middlesborough.

Both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona cannot compete for the title this season, their point gaps are too far from Real Madrid which is at the top of the standings. Only Sevilla has a chance to compete for the title with Real Madrid. In my opinion, the realistic target for Atletico Madrid and Barcelona is competing for UCL tickets. However, it won't be easy for them if their performance is getting worse and no positive improvement. Moreover, if there are some key players injured or got affected by the virus. It will make the situation be more complicated for them.

This is what the case has often been before hand, now, times have changed. Just like the Bundesliga where we've got a Bayern Munich dominance of the league, the EPL has turned out to be confined to very few teams in the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.  No other team counts so much and you can be almost certain that, these 3 would always be in the top 3 spots while the other teams struggle on whatever spot is left.
Looking at this fact, the rest teams have redirected there energy and force towards the FA and Carabao Cup for there chance of going home with a trophy. Even Europa now has become difficult, not to mention the UCL. So, its not really a game for second eleven anymore, just a slight change but, you could be sure the big dogs would be out once the time is running out.

Yes I just read the number again, they have $1.35 billion in outstanding debt I think. A lot of things will depend on the Corona development. If they have a full stadium on a bi-weekly basis, that helps a lot given the capacity is around 100.000.
I really wonder though how the fans will react to their bad performances. A full stadium has been a given for a very long time in Barcelona, but what if they even miss the CL? That looks a lot like a downward spiral now from so many perspectives.

Should I bring up a counter example? Gareth Bale in Madrid, he was paid so well that he didn't even really care whether he played or not. If he did, he would have tried to transfer to another club. Real Madrid even wanted him to go but he said he is happy to stay. Crazy for a player of his quality, but money also plays a big role. I guess most of these pro athletes want to compete with the best and that automatically means you might have phases where you find yourself sitting on the bench. Could be injuries at work, could be unlucky situations or also missing attitude or talent.

City this season looks like a complete team who are good in every aspect, defense, midfield, and attack.
I think if they are able to buy a pure striker in this transfer window, that would be really good for them but other than that, they seem quite strong. The Semi-final draw might play an important role if they qualify. I think this season's CL is gonna be quite on even ground. As all of City, PSG, Real, Bayern look like very good teams.

Initially, I thought about odds of more than ten, even closer to 20, but then I doubted (after all, this is Juventus, which is always overvalued). I hope someone from those who followed the live odds will write down what they were.
But in any case, betting on the team that in the away match loses 1-3 in the 70th minute is complete madness, I don't know what logical conclusions must be in my head to come to this.

It is difficult to assess this match as the teams played in lineups that were far from optimal. Judging by the statistics, the result is fair, since PSG dominated only in possession of the ball. It seems to me that this result is quite satisfactory for PSG, since nothing threatens their position in the first place, and although this is a loss of points, it is not a defeat.

realistically speaking:
- Athletic doesn't have any chance of being champion and even for UCL they won't make it, they now just need to focus on this at least in the top 5 something that will also be a difficult mission
- barcelona also has no chance of being champion and even to enter the UCL will be a much more difficult mission
- leaving the real madrid aside, the only one who can still dream of being champion is the sevilla who honestly don't know how they've been so lucky to win games for just 1 goal

The problem with champions league title is that you have to be at 100% every single game. Like last year, they were already at the finals and lets be honest it is clear to me that Chelsea was not the better team on that game, they were definitely the underdogs. Which shows that City played amazingly for whole season and then during the finals they dropped the ball. That is why you can't have even a single game where you are bad or you will be out (well after group stages).
So City could win, they do have that talent, they have that chemistry, they have a strategy, they have a great manager all in all they have everything they need but one bad game and they are totally out. This is why we can't be sure of who will win it this year, they look like they are the best team if you ask me, but that doesn't mean anything when they were the best last year as well and still lost.

There is no world class manager available current at the market. zidane has no plan to take any job in england so do pochettino who still have a long solid contract at psg. Erik ten hag are indeed the one who linked to manchester united so far and he will not missed it for sure it is huge opportunity besides manchester united pretty familiar with nethelands . just poor ragnick with his not so good start in charge.

a pretty good result because they really need points even though they should have won but if you see the opponent is Napoli, of course the draw is pretty good.
on the other hand napoli are currently quite threatened and only hope atalanta lose or draw against sampdoria although i feel confident they will get the three points in this match.
they are superior in all aspects compared to sampdoria and they are also playing at home which will definitely be underdogs in this match

Manchester City have players of almost equal quality in every position, and they deserve to lead the League far better than any other team. I think this is their era of glory and you can't be frustrated because Manchester City won't be able to maintain this quality forever. At the start of the season they weren't very good, but they managed to do well when the other team let their guard down and had a slump.
They might win the title if they maintain their best record until the end of the season, but things can change even in the last few match before the end of the season.

Yes, you're right, but that's exactly what I wrote about. The Big Three - Real, Barcelona and Atlético - own the Spanish championship, and the last time someone outside intervened in this hegemony was about 20 years ago. And objectively speaking, the chances that someone else will intervene in the dominance of this trio in the next 20 years is very small - all three clubs have a streamlined structure, huge budgets and it is hard to believe that all three will fail at once.

Losing 1-2 at home hurts regardless of the opponent. Now Dortmund is secretly coming a little closer. Think Bayern will still easily become champions, but if Dortmund win the difference is still 6 points and they play against each other again. Those 1-2, if you had bet on that, you would have been rich by now. Bayern also still were up 1-0.

I think Inter will win Serie A this year without a big fight. Milan is trying to keep up with Inter, but this is all temporary, there will be a period when they will have a recession again, I hope I'm wrong. Juventus played in a draw with Napoli and this is probably a natural result, I was hope that Juventus will be able to win. Yes you are right, this year Juventus will not be able to change much, they still have too many vulnerabilities in the team, from the attack line to the goalkeeper.

Basically, the manager is responsible for 80% of the team performance because it is what the manager tells the players that they can actually play to, he sets the formation, he makes changes, he chooses the players he wants in his team, and if he has everything he needs, who is to blame if the players do not perform to expectations? Of course, the manager, the players are there to serve the club and the manager, and if the team does well, the manager also gets credit.

The value of the Champions League is that regular successful performance in it gives a lot of money. Real Madrid are the first in the rankings and receive the largest share of the pool, which is distributed among the clubs depending on their regular performance in the league. Winning the Champions League this year will be incredibly difficult for Real Madrid, but I will certainly hope so. As for La Liga, in my opinion the competition is already over there.

But I think it is not impossible. Real Madrid has put some players on the transfer list, this can decrease the number of players' salaries. The possible problem that can happen is about the total number of players' salaries. While for transfer fees, I am sure Real Madrid has enough money to buy Haaland/Mbappe.
