Real Betis won their last game against Celta vigo, this match was actually a lot closer than I imagined it would be. And I asked got angry when Nabil Fekir’s goal was disallowed because of offside. I thought almost everyone could clearly see that it was not. I am just happy that the right decision was made. Both teams definitely played well but Celta Vigo should have actually caught one point from this match because they had good chances. finally a win for Real Betis. But I still don’t think they will actually be able to compete for the sixth position of the table. Celta Vigo to get one or two wins because they are still under threat of getting relegated.
Betis' match against Celta Vigo was indeed very fierce. Even though initially I thought the match would be easy for Betis. However, it turned out that Celta Vigo put up very tough resistance against Betis, causing Betis to win the match with a narrow score.

Apart from that, currently Betis is in 8th position in the LaLiga standings and is only 2 points adrift of Valencia who is in 7th place. So next week there is a big possibility that Betis will have the opportunity to move up to La Liga. The reason is, next week Betis is scheduled to compete against Valencia. So if Betis wins the match against Valencia in this meeting, it is certain that Betis will be able to move up to 7th in the La Liga standings. So the point is that Betis must be able to take advantage of this opportunity well. Because if next season they lose to Valencia, I'm sure Betis will have a little difficulty climbing to 7th or 6th place. However, in my opinion, Betis should be able to beat Valencia. The reason is that if you look at the head to head record, from the last 5 meetings the result is that Betis is superior to Valencia by winning 3 matches.

And regarding Celta Vigo, they are currently in an unsafe position in Laliga. The reason is, even though Celta Vigo is not currently in the relegation zone, the difference in points with the teams in the relegation zone is not too far. For example, with Cadiz who are in the relegation zone, Celta Vigo only has a difference of 3 points. So with this, Celta Vigo has the potential to enter the relegation zone, if only Celta Vigo cannot win next week's match. And next week Celta Vigo is scheduled to compete with Las Palmas. I think this match will be a very crucial match for the fate of Celta Vigo. The reason is that if they lose this match, Celta Vigo could be dragged into the relegation zone.

It makes sense to keep the league competitive for the future, I understand that Ronaldo costs a lot and that is why Al-Nassr can't keep getting better and better players, they just can't afford to, but at the same time no matter what they do, they should probably just assume that it would make sense to get more and more players.

Al Nassr will have to let go of Ronaldo before they can recruit more Europe experienced players while paying them high wages. The influence of Ronaldo will make any player coming to Al Nassr to start demanding high salary because they can not be playing for only Ronaldo to be benefitting with high pay. Al Nassr need to work on their defense because they are conceding too many goals for a top club. They do not have any problems with scoring but their defence is not very solid. Al Nassr needs to buy winger too, they do not have to be Europe players but they should be skillful players that can score and supplying the strikers with balls to score too. Al Nassr has already lost this season title because Al Hilal would not let any team to pass them and take the title from them. Al Nassr not starting the season well has caused them the title this season.

The thing between Ronaldo and Al Nassr is even more than this. Al Nassr know they hire some players because of Ronaldo and if Ronaldo leaves Al Nassr maybe they will have problems with hiring more top-level players. Also, Ronalod wants to achieve something he is in Al Nassr and that's why he won't leave soon.
Also, it seems Ronaldo is going to make some investment in Al Nassr, and even his son is playing there, which can show Ronaldo is going to stay and there and even there's a high chance to him to get retire in Al Nassr.



It makes perfect sense to invest and make your child play. He wants to leave a legacy and still make money by making bets and investments throughout Arabia. For me it is a vision of the future and no longer of the player.
It cannot be denied that Ronaldo has a high salary at Al Nasr. But if, for example, Al Nasr releases Ronaldo, I'm sure the Saudi Arabian League will be devoid of fans and will be like before. Because, don't forget, the reason so many European players play in the Saudi Arabian League started with Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nasr. So in my opinion releasing Ronaldo is not the right choice for Al Nasr. Although currently Al Nasr needs more money to find a good defender. However, in my opinion, there are still many ways to overcome the problems currently facing Al Nasr (regarding weaknesses in the back line). One solution is to look for local players who have good quality and skills. Because the proof is that Al Hilal also has many strong defensive players who come from Saudi Arabia. So Al Nasr can also do the same thing as Al Hilal, if they don't want to spend even more money next season. And if Al Nasr chooses that option, I'm sure Al Nasr definitely doesn't need to let go of Ronaldo, but still has a better defender.

Apart from that, Ronaldo also seems to intend to retire at Al Nasr. Because in the news I read, Ronaldo reportedly wants to play at Al Nasr until 2027.

Quote
“Cristiano Ronaldo told the club management before leaving for the Portugal national team camp, that he wants to renew his contract until early 2027. Cristiano wants to play in the 2026 World Cup while he is an Al Nassr player, and then he will announce it retired from football," tweeted Saudi Arabian journalist Ali Al Harbi.
Source: https://www.google.com/amp/s/sport.detik.com/sepakbola/bola-dunia/d-6974763/cristiano-ronaldo-mau-main-di-al-nassr-lebih-lama/amp

So with this statement, it is clear that Ronaldo wants to end his career as a footballer at Al Nasr. So Ronaldo will certainly not be let go by Al Nasr.

Both Spanish teams have been sent home and disqualified from the quarterfinals of this competition, and while some people may attribute this to luck I strongly disagree on that. In football it’s only about the deserving teams who will always win eventually. As a Barcelona fan who even placed a bet on them today, I am disappointed by their performance. Both the players and the coaching staff were disastrous, and I believe that Araujo's red card was a turning point in the match but it came due and as a result of PSG strength rather than saying luck was beside them. PSG's scored 4 goal and their victory wasn't due to luck at all.

~Snip
Yes, PSG's victory in this match was not due to luck. However, this could be achieved thanks to the hard work of PSG players. Apart from that, at the start of the match I saw the Barcelona players appear confident and were even able to score 1 goal against PSG. However, after Araujo was given a red card by the referee, that's when chaos started to occur in the Barcelona team. After that, the Barcelona players seemed to lose their game scheme and as a result Barcelona conceded 1 goal in the first half and 3 goals in the second half. It is a shame that Barcelona's progress in the UCL has to stop at this time. Maybe after this Barcelona will only focus on the domestic league, because in all competitions Barcelona's journey is over.

Apart from that, Atletico Madrid also experienced a similar fate. They had won over Dortmund in the first leg, but now both lost in the second leg. Completely unexpected.

So that way, in the semifinals PSG will meet Dortmund. In my opinion, in the next match, there is a big possibility that PSG will win and qualify for the UCL final. Because if you look at the quality of their players and also the achievements they can achieve in their respective domestic leagues, PSG is clearly superior to Dortmund. For example, PSG is currently at the top of the French League standings and Dortmund is only able to occupy 5th place in the Bundesliga. So with this fact, I am sure that in this UCL PSG will definitely be able to beat Dortmund and enter the final.

I was surprised when Liverpool and Arsenal lost their matches, respectively, in the Premier League, even when they were at home. I thought Arsenal had changed for good this season, but they want to still repeat what they did last season in the Premier League this season. It will be hard for Liverpool and Arsenal to top the Premier League table because Manchester City will not want to lose to any club in the league again.
Yes, I also don't understand why Arsenal and Liverpool can lose against teams ranked lower than them in the Premier League. Even though this match is very important for Arsenal and Liverpool. The reason is, as a result of both experiencing defeat, Arsenal and Liverpool are now paving the way for Manchester City to become champions again in the Premier League. So what can you do, now it's happened. So the steps that Arsenal and Liverpool must take now are just to maintain consistency in every match (they must always win), so that the point difference is not too far from Manchester City.

Apart from that, if you look at Liverpool's matches against Crystal Palace and Arsenal against Aston Villa. In that match, Liverpool and Arsenal actually both controlled the game very well. However, the mistake was that the Arsenal and Liverpool players were not able to take advantage of opportunities properly and then lost focus. So with this mistake, Arsenal and Liverpool failed to win. And what surprised me the most, Arsenal and Liverpool were not able to score a single goal against the opposing team. Even though Liverpool usually always scores goals in almost every match, so does Arsenal. However, in this match Liverpool and Arsenal appeared like weak teams.

But even so, this season is still not over. So the competition for the top seats in the Premier League will continue. And of course Arsenal or Liverpool still have potential to overtake Manchester City.

You can't  possibly  decide yet because  Realmadrid  might eventually  lose form which might give the advantage  of Barcelona  overtaking  them  but at the same time the chance of this prediction  is still somehow slim.
Barcelona  in their  last few matches had  winnings alot of winning s which is a very good sign of then gaining  and holding firmly  to their ground , although it was a bit late, it was after the announcement  from Xavi  that they picked up a good form and good game play and I don't  think that will still stop him from leaving  the club  but I wouldn't be surprised  if he still wish to stay at the end (it's  decision)
In next Sunday's match, Monday to be precise, both teams will certainly show their best performance. Especially Barcelona will go all out to reduce their point difference in the standings. Yes, Barcelona in the last few weeks has shown that their game has improved quite a bit. I see that there are only a few weeks left for this year's league to end. In this El Classico match, Barcelona must beat Real Madrid. If Barcelona loses or draws in the match, I think it will be much more difficult to catch up on their point difference.
If we talk about predictions and opportunities, Barcelona certainly still has the opportunity to overtake Real Madrid at the top of the standings. But as you say, that chance is very small. The reason is that currently Barcelona is 8 points behind Real Madrid. In my opinion, the point difference could be said to be very large. So in a situation like this, there is a simple scheme for Barcelona to shift Real Madrid's current position, in essence Real Madrid must suffer a minimum of 3 defeats in the remaining matches at this time (in La Liga). Meanwhile, in my personal opinion, it would be very difficult for Real Madrid to lose, especially three times. The reason is, the teams that Real Madrid will face in the remaining matches this season can be said to not be very strong. Perhaps only Barcelona can be said to be the strongest team of all the teams that Real Madrid will face in the remaining matches this season. Even that is not a strong guarantee that Real Madrid can be beaten.

Although Barcelona's performance is currently improving again. However, I don't think that's enough to beat Real Madrid, who always perform well in La Liga. Apart from that, for example, Barcelona was able to beat Real Madrid and the point difference was getting closer to Real Madrid. However, this would be useless if for example after that Real Madrid continued to win in every match. Because as I said, the tough opponent that Real Madrid will face in the remaining matches in Laliga is only Barcelona. And the remaining matches are against other teams, it is very likely that Real Madrid can definitely win the remaining matches. So in essence, Barcelona's opportunity to overtake Real Madrid at the top of the standings will certainly be very difficult.

And regarding Xavi, I think it is very likely that he will still leave Barcelona at the end of this season. Even though the Barcelona players are currently showing better development. However, I don't think this will make Xavi cancel his plans. The reason is that Xavi must have thought carefully about his decision. That's why Xavi announced his decision several months ago.

There will be some ez matches to come.

Al hilal vs ahli
Al nassr vs fayha
Al ittihad vs hazem

Im still considering al ahli is nothing for al hilal. Al hilal will still defense its unbeatable record in the upcoming game against al ahli. Ahli has so many great players but it seems not enough to make the club able to beat al hilal.

The second game is about nassr vs feyha. I strongly believe al feyha is nothing compared to the al nassr and so, i expect ez win for al nassr in the upcoming games

~Snip
Yes, with its current good performance, Al Hilal can definitely beat Al Ahli easily. The reason is that if you look at the head to head record of the two teams from their last 5 meetings, the result is that Al Ahli have never won against Al Hilal. So with this head to head record, we can clearly judge that Al Hilal is indeed no match for Al Ahli at the moment. Therefore, in this match I am 80 percent very sure that Al Hilal will definitely win the match and take home the full 3 points.

Then for the Al Nasr match against Al Feiha, I think this match will also be very easy for Al Nasr. The reason is, so far Al Nasr has never lost to Al Feiha in their last 5 meetings. So in this match Al Nasr also has a very big chance of bringing home the full 3 points.

And for the match between Al Hazm and Al Ittihad, I personally cannot say that Al Ittihad will win easily against Al Hazm. Because as we know, Al Ittihad's current performance is not optimal, so I am a little doubtful if I have to say that Al Ittihad will win easily against Al Hazm. The reason is that in the previous meeting, Al Ittihad was only able to achieve a draw against Al Hazm. But even so, if you look at the ranking between Al Ittihad and Al Hazm and the current head to head, Al Ittihad does have a greater chance of winning than Al Hazm. But I'm a little doubtful about that

So in this match, I personally will only bet on the Al Hilal VS Al Ahli match and the match between Al Nasr VS Al Feiha. And for the match between Al Ittihad VS Al Hazm, I'm still a little confused about which team to bet on.

It's been a long time since I posted my daily push up Challenge report to this thread. This is caused by several things, such as busy daily lives, and to be honest, sometimes I intend to send a report, but end up forgetting. Therefore, I just sent a report today regarding this push up challenge. But even so, I never missed a push up for this Challenge. Because as I said before, I have been doing this push up routine for the last 3 years.

Additionally, the current price of bitcoin is around $66K. So it looks like this challenge will last a very long time. However, I am very grateful for this Challenge. Because with this Challenge, there are people who previously didn't like sports (Push Ups), but can become like sports. So it wouldn't be a big deal if this Challenge lasted a little longer. Because this Challenge has very good benefits for our health.

And this is my push up report today

THE IMF IS STILL DEMANDING CHANGES TO EL SALVADOR'S BITCOIN LAW: REPORT

The IMF is insisting that El Salvador should reconsider the country's policy on Bitcoin for them to secure a $1.4 billion loan. Negotiations about the loan have been stalled because of El Salvador's pro-Bitcoin policy. According to the IMF's communications director Julie Kozack, El Salvador has to revisit and amend its Bitcoin policy for negotiation to progress. For two years El Salvador President Nayib Bukele has resisted this pressure and it seems he is not willing to back down on the country's pro-Bitcoin policy. He sees this pressure as a calculated strategy to undermine the country's monetary sovereignty. By tying loans and grants to changes in El Salvador's Bitcoin law, the IMF is showcasing how it influences the economic policies of developing nations.
I think Nayib Bukele's decision to remain steadfast in strengthening his resolve towards bitcoin adoption in El Salvador is the right thing to continue to do. Because if Nayib Bukele does not stick to his determination (bitcoin adoption) and for example obeys the wishes of the IMF, I think El Salvador will definitely experience another downturn and Nayib Bukele's plans will definitely be completely destroyed. So Nayib Bukele definitely needs to avoid this. The reason is, the bitcoin adoption plan carried out in El Salvador has enormous potential.
Because I read some news related to bitcoin developments in El Salvador. And in a news article I read, I was very interested in what a figure who expressed his opinion about Bitcoin in El Salvador thought. The person said that El Salvador's debt to the IMF can definitely be paid if bitcoin reaches a price of $100K. This was stated by one venture capitalist
Quote
In fact, according to him, if the price of Bitcoin reaches US$ 100,000, El Salvador can pay off its loan to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Source: https://www.cnbcindonesia.com/market/20240316000444-17-522442/el-salvador-jadi-negara-terkaya-gara-gara-bitcoin-ini-penjelasannya/amp

So the point is that right now Nayib Bukele must remain steadfast in his goal of making bitcoin successful in El Salvador. Because if Nayib Bukele remains strong in maintaining this goal over a long period of time (bitcoin adoption), I also believe that El Salvador will definitely become a very developed country. However, I believe that Nayib Bukele is a leader who is very committed to what he has started. So he will definitely not be influenced by the advice given by the IMF.

I would think that it would not be a good idea use bitcoin to pay off their IMF loans, especially if they were to be able to pay off the loan through other ways.. and yeah, the cheap  availability of debt can likely be very tempting, and it can be painful to be paying off debt when it is not able to be rolled over, yet if they are not able to secure various kinds of debt to roll over their existing outstanding loans, then it may well be a lot better to just continue to pay down the debt and to invest into bitcoin (even if from my perspective - as I posted several times earlier - the level of El Salvador's investment into bitcoin remains a decently small portion of their overall budget - seemingly less than a few percentage of their annual revenues, at most  $400 million over 2 years versus $7 billion-ish annual revenues).  

By the way, within your linked article, they had seemed to believe that El Salvador has ONLY around 2,000 BTC, when recently El Salvador disclosed that it has close to 6,000 BTC.. .and the author also does not grapple with any of the specifics regarding the servicing of the loan or when the loans are due... but yeah, sure speculation that if BTC prices reach $100k, El Salvador could pay off all of its loans with BTC seems to be a bit short-sighted, even though surely it would seem that the higher the BTC price goes the more options that El Salvador has with its bitcoin, but that still should not necessarily signify that it would be a good idea to sell much  if any of the BTC in order to service such loans.. especially if there may well be other options.
Yes, paying off El Salvador's national debt with bitcoin is just an option that the government in El Salvador can take. Because as you said, El Salvador has a lot of options with the bitcoin it has. However, it is very likely that Nayib Bukele will not sell the bitcoin belonging to the country of El Salvador, even if for example this year or next the price of bitcoin reaches $100K. Therefore, it is clear that Bukele's goal in leading El Salvador is not just to pay off the state's debt, but Bukele really wants to advance El Salvador.
However, why I personally made the post above is because I was only interested in the idea of ​​people who said bitcoin could pay off El Salvador's debt to the IMF. Because the important point that I can absorb from this person's idea is, El Salvador will be a very great country if it continues to invest in bitcoin.

Because I also don't agree if, for example, the bitcoin that El Salvador has collected so far has only been used to pay its debt to the IMF. Because if, for example, it is only used to pay debts, then it is true that El Salvador will definitely be free from debt. However, after that El Salvador will definitely have to start investing in bitcoin again and will definitely have to buy bitcoin at a higher price. Therefore, El Salvador is indeed better off holding bitcoin for the current bitcoin cycle, even if the price of bitcoin reaches $100K. And I agree with you, that El Salvador's debt problem can definitely be solved in other ways.

Bayern Munich has advantage for second leg match against Arsenal after getting draw on first leg, playing as home match and has many days left get rest than Arsenal has domestic league match tomorrow.
In my opinion, Bayern Munich one step closer for qualifying to quarter final and has bigger chance than Arsenal although in domestic league Bayern Munich's performance not promising yet. In the first leg match, Arsenal failed get advantage as their home match and holding draw by Bayern is not good capital for second leg match.

~Snip
It is true, in the first leg Arsenal failed to win the match and were only able to draw against Bayern Munich. So in the second leg the task of the Arsenal players will definitely be tougher. Because of course by playing at Bayern Munich's headquarters the pressure will definitely be even heavier. However, in my personal opinion, in the second leg the Arsenal players will definitely be able to play calmly. The reason is, the mentality of the Arsenal players is certainly very strong to face difficult situations such as playing at the opponent's headquarters. Apart from that, when I watched the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich match in the first leg. I actually saw that Arsenal dominated the game more and had more opportunities than Bayern Munich. Apart from that, if for example in that match Bayern Munich didn't get a penalty, I think Arsenal could definitely win. And in that match I also saw a violation which should have been a penalty kick for Arsenal, but unfortunately the referee did not see the violation. Maybe if the referee had known about the violation, there was a big chance that Arsenal could have won the match. But the point is that I personally am very optimistic, that in the second leg I am sure Arsenal can definitely win the match at home to Bayern Munich.

Lazio played like a team who's about to be crowned champions and I could see Inter Milan in them as they played with so much flexibility and calmness when they're with the ball and I ask myself why are they not giving Inter Milan a tough time this season? If we have to use a particular game to judge teams I'd say Lazio are better than Napoli this season but is like whenever the Lazio side play against a smaller team they just take advantage of the fact that they're the bigger boys but you see tonight's performance, it was outstanding for the Lazio side.
Yes, in the match against Salernitana last night the Lazio players performed very well. By silencing Salernitana with a score of 4-1, in my opinion this is quite an impressive result. Even though Salernitana is basically one of the Serie A teams with the worst performance this season. Because Salernitana is currently at the bottom of the Serie A standings. So it's only natural that Lazio can win this match. But even so, Salernitana also sometimes makes things difficult for several strong teams in Serie A. This is because strong teams in Serie A like AC Milan also sometimes have difficulty scoring more than 3 goals against Salernitana. So the results obtained by Lazio, who were able to score 4 goals against Salernitana, should be appreciated.

Apart from that, with Lazio's victory over Salernitana. Now Lazio is in 7th place with 49 points. Only 1 point difference with Atalanta who is ranked 6th and 1 point difference with Napoli who is ranked 8th. So in the remaining matches this season, Lazio still has the potential to climb the Serie A standings. And if I compare Lazio's performance with Napoli this season, I too agree that Lazio is better than Napoli. But even so, the comparison is not too far off. Because the proof is that Napoli and Lazio's rankings only differ by 1 place.

This is the Premier League, and I'm not surprised that Luton Town defeated Bournemouth. In today's game with Manchester City, Luton Town is no threat to Manchester City, and even if Manchester City use their second eleven, they will still beat Luton Town in the Premier League. Luton Town cannot match Manchester City shoulder-to-shoulder at Etihad Stadium.
Yes, I agree with you that Luton is no match for Manchester City. The difference in quality and performance of the players is clearly visible. The reason is that Luton only joined the Premier League this season. So you can be sure that the players' experience is not too far away, because this is the first season that Luton players have joined the Premier League. Even in Luton's last 10 matches in the Premier League, Luton was only able to win 1 match (against Bournemouth). This means that it is clear that this season Luton has not been able to compete well in the Premier League. The reason is that currently Luton has entered the relegation zone by collecting 25 points. So it is very likely that this season Luton will return to the second division of the Premier League again.

Therefore, it makes sense that in this match Manchester City does not need to bring out much of its main team to compete with Luton. However, playing all of Manchester City's second tier players against Luton is a bit inappropriate in my opinion. Because even though the possibility of winning is still large, it also carries large risks. Moreover, currently Manchester City is struggling to sit at the top of the Premier League standings. So what is certain is that Manchester City must be able to win every match and collect more goals. Therefore, even though the team that Manchester City will face this time is Luton, and this match will be held at Manchester City's headquarters. I think it would be better if Manchester City continued to play half their main players and half their second tier players. So the results obtained by Manchester City will definitely remain good.

In today's match, Real Madrid will visit Mallorca's headquarters. I think this match will not be difficult for Real Madrid. Even though Real Madrid will play at Mallorca's headquarters, this will not hinder the performance of the Real Madrid players. So in this match Real Madrid definitely has a big chance to win the match. Because if you look at the Head to Head records of the two teams, Real Madrid is far superior to Mallorca. The reason is that from the last 5 meetings between these two teams, the result was that Madrid was ahead with 4 wins and only suffered 1 defeat against Mallorca. This means that it is clear and there is no need to doubt, in this match there is a big possibility that Real Madrid will be able to take home the full 3 points.

But even so, Mallorca cannot be underestimated either. The reason is that in several matches in Laliga, Mallorca often made it difficult for great teams. Even when Mallorca played Girona, the result was that Girona always lost several meetings. So even though in this match Real Madrid has a bigger chance of winning. However, Real Madrid looks like they will win by a narrow score. And I personally will entrust my bet to Real Madrid in this match.

This season has been an easy season for Al Hilal. The reason is, currently Al Hilal does not have a comparable competing team in the Saudi Arabian League. As a result, currently Al Hilal is successful in almost all Saudi Arabian League competitions. The reason is that until now Al Hilal has not been defeated by any team in the Saudi Arabian domestic league. This is really surprising for me personally. Because actually my personal expectation at the start of the season was that Al Nasr would be the strongest team in the Saudi Arabian League. However, in reality, Al Hilal is currently the strongest in the Saudi Arabian League. Even though star player Al Hilal (Neymar) was injured, Al Hilal still performed impressively. So I can't imagine what Al Hilal's performance would be like if Neymar wasn't injured. Certainly the performance will be much better than now.

So, if for example Neymar can return to playing next season, I'm sure Al Hilal will perform even more extraordinary and of course it will make it even more difficult for other teams in the Saudi Arabian League. Perhaps the only way to keep up with Al Hilal next season, the Saudi Arabian League teams must improve their performance. Because if the performance of other teams in the Saudi Arabian League is not improved, the Saudi Arabian League will definitely become very boring. Just a big example, this season the Saudi Arabian League is a little less exciting. Because currently you could say there is no longer any meaningful competition in the Saudi Arabian League, both in the domestic league and other competitions. The reason is, it is very likely that Al Hilal will definitely be the champion.

Barcelona against PSG was an interesting match to witness and for us we have taken it to predict that PSG is going to win over Barcelona since PSG seems to be more powerful right now than Barcelona does, hence reverse was the case and from a fair, simple analysis, one could have every reason to say that PSG is likely to win, or at least secure a draw, since they are at home and not away.

~Snip
It's true, playing at home will definitely benefit PSG players. But don't forget that currently PSG is losing on aggregate to Barcelona. So it is certain that the task of the PSG players will not be easy even though they are playing at home. Because of course the PSG players must be able to catch up by 1 goal first so that the aggregate is the same. Apart from that, Barcelona's current performance cannot be underestimated. The reason is, after winning the match in the first leg I saw that Barcelona's performance was very good and their performance was different when competing in their domestic league (Laliga). So in this second leg I am sure Barcelona will definitely be able to play well even though they are playing at PSG's home ground. Because of course now if you look at the mentality of the players between Barcelona and PSG, I think the mentality of the Barcelona players will definitely be calmer. The reason is that currently Barcelona is ahead on aggregate over PSG in the first leg. So, if for example Barcelona draws in the second leg, of course this will still allow Barcelona to qualify for the next round of the UCL. Therefore, I personally predict that in the second leg Barcelona will definitely bring home another victory.

Player transfers are very normal and not something a mistake, because basically every player has the right to determine his career. Except, if for example Osimhen had chosen to always play at Napoli but Napoli sold him, then that case would be different. But anyway, basically Osimhen has been loyal to Napoli because Osimhen still chose to stay at Napoli this season. Because afterall, in the last transfer window it was also rumored that Osimhen had received an offer from Real Madrid and several offers from other big teams, but in fact Osimhen chose to stay at Napoli this season. But unfortunately, the results that Osimhen got this season with Napoli were not good and as such, it is very natural that in the end Osimhen chose to leave and that was not a mistake.

Yeah Osimhen prefers to stay and extend his contract with Napoli this means that Osimhen cannot make a decision in the next few seasons, unless Napoli wants Osimhen released, as you said, Osimhen's performance has not been optimal this season so his interest and market value will definitely decrease so there is a possibility that we will see Osimhen play longer in Serie A. This season Osimhen only scored 12 goals and this is proof that its performance is declining but Osimhen is still young he still has a chance to improve his performance next season.
Osimhen's transfer is still just a rumor. So nothing can be completely trusted regarding this rumor. The reason is, Osimhen once brought Napoli to become Serie A champions and won the Scudetto last season. So I think Osimhen will definitely not think about moving to another team for now. Although Osimhen once said that one day he also wanted to play in the Premier League. But I don't think that will happen next season. Because what is clear is that Osimhen has signed a new contract with Napoli until 2026. So there is no doubt, this means that Osimhen will stay at Napoli next season.

Even though Osimhen's performance is currently in poor condition at Napoli. However, there are many factors that make Osimhen's performance less good this season. Such as the lack of cohesiveness of the Napoli players, or the lack of chemistry between the coach and players. So in my opinion, Osimhen's poor performance this season is influenced by the poor performance of the team and coach.

So it is certain that Napoli can improve their bad performance. Maybe next season, Napoli must be able to buy new players who can cover Napoli's shortcomings or also have to replace a better coach. Because after Napoli changed coaches, Napoli's performance, including Osimhen's, dropped drastically. This means that the current coach is not suitable to train Napoli players.

Many Fans are not just looking down on Arsenal but rather they are trying to lessen the amount of disappointment they got las year before it happened again. Arsenal had similar advantage last season and blew it up, although this time around they are going to have to go against not just Manchester city but also Liverpool.

~Snip
Yes, this season or last season, Arsenal does have the same opportunity to win the Premier League trophy. However, last season Arsenal were unable to compete with Manchester City and in the end were only able to finish in second place in the standings. So this season the scheme is actually not much different from last season. However, what is different this season is that Arsenal players appear more confident. The proof is that this season Arsenal was able to match and even beat Manchester City. In contrast to last season, in their 3 meetings with Manchester City, Arsenal always lost to Manchester City.
So if you look at it, it looks like Arsenal is getting better this season.

So, it is not impossible that Arsenal this season can become Premier League champions. Because this season the performance is indeed better. However, in my personal opinion, Arsenal's biggest obstacle this season is not Manchester City but Liverpool. The reason is that in the remaining matches Liverpool will definitely continue to fight to continue to achieve the full 3 points. Apart from that, in the remaining matches that Liverpool currently has, it could be said that the team they are playing against is not very strong. So the possibility of Liverpool continuing to win in every match in the Premier League will indeed be very large. Therefore, Arsenal's biggest challenge now is to continue to consistently win and score more goals. So when the points obtained are the same as Liverpool, Arsenal remains superior in terms of scoring goals.

Winning a ticket to the Champions League is also an achievement for a team like Girona. Meanwhile, it is very natural for them to lose consistency towards the end of the season, because in terms of experience in dealing with pressure, this is the first season they have felt it. Also in terms of squad depth, Michel does not have the ammunition and rotation options as good as Real Madrid or Barcelona, so this setback is understandable. With 8 matches remaining, Girona still has the opportunity to compete for the runnerup position in the standings, a difference of 2 points is still reasonable to pursue.

~Snip
With the players they have, Girona can be said to be very great because they are able to compete with the big teams in La Liga. So Girona's declining performance at the end of this season does not need to be used as a benchmark that Girona is weak. On the other hand, Girona's struggle to reach this point should be appreciated. The reason is that competing with teams like Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is certainly not an easy thing. The reason is, other teams that have always played in Division 1 of La Liga also have a very difficult time competing with these strong teams. So actually, currently Girona can be called a pioneer. The reason is that Girona is a new team, but can directly compete with teams like Barcelona.

Apart from that, I am sure that this season Girona will definitely be able to get tickets to the Champions League. Even though Girona's performance is currently declining, to secure a ticket to the Champions League, I am sure Girona can do it. And tomorrow Girona will play against Atletico Madrid, of course this match will be very difficult for the Girona players. Because of course we already know that Atletico Madrid is not a weak team and what's more, the match will be held at Atletico Madrid headquarters. So Girona players will definitely come under strong pressure from Atletico Madrid fans.

However, fortunately ahead of the match against Atletico Madrid, none of Girona's main players were injured. So in the match against Atletico Madrid you can be sure that the squad that Girona will field will definitely be optimal.

By the way, the final match has been over. Al Hilal won the match with a very convincing score. As expected they won it easily, they scored 4 goals. Although we didn't see Aleksandar Mitrovic on the lineup, Al Hilal still could play as usual. Al Hilal deserved to win the trophy, they succeed to win the first trophy this season.



Check the details on Google


There is no need to doubt the ability of the Al Hilal players. So it is natural that in the final Al Hilal can win the match without much difficulty. Even in that match, I honestly didn't see it as a final match. Because Al Ittihad did not provide significant resistance to Al Hilal. The reason is, when the first half had only been running for 5 minutes, Al Hilal was able to pocket 1 goal scored by Malcom. So after that I felt Al Hilal would definitely win the match easily. And it turns out my guess was right, Al Hilal could win easily over Al Ittihad.

Apart from that, Mitrovic was not involved in the match. The reason is, Mitrovic is suffering from a hamstring injury. Therefore, Mitrovic could not take part in the Saudi Super Cup final match against Al Ittihad. Maybe if for example Mitrovic had played in that match, maybe Al Hilal could have scored more than 4 goals against Al Ittihad. The reason is, Mitrovic is the sharpest goal scoring machine at Al Hilal.

And this trophy is indeed the first trophy won by Al Hilal this season. Maybe if Al Hilal can perform consistently until this season ends, I think Al Hilal has the potential to win 2 or 3 more trophies. The reason is that in the Asian Champions League, Al Hilal has reached the semifinals.
Then in the Saudi Arabian King's Cup, Al Hilal also entered the semifinals. So that way, Al Hilal has a big chance of bringing home 3 trophies this season.

This week Tottenham Hotspur is scheduled to play against Newcastle. I think this match is a golden opportunity for Tottenham to be more secure in 4th place in the Premier League standings. The reason is that currently Tottenham Hotspur's position is still less secure in 4th position. The reason is that Tottenham Hotspur currently has the same points as Aston Villa who are in 5th place. So in this match, Tottenham Hotspur must be able to win so they can add points and get a little further away from Aston Villa.
However, I personally am very confident that in this match Tottenham Hotspur can definitely win against Newcastle. The reason is that if you look at the Head to Head record of the two teams, from the last 5 meetings the result is that Tottenham is superior to Newcastle, namely with 3 wins and 2 losses. So in this match I am sure Tottenham can definitely win the match and get the full 3 points.
~

At the moment, bookmakers quote this game very randomly:

2.72 - 4.00 - 2.32

Probably fair quotes even taking into account the fact that Tottenham have 13 points more. Newcastle is playing at home, plus if you look at the overall picture, at the moment both clubs are more likely to be losers of the season than vice versa. Newcastle, by the way, will also be highly motivated: they have every chance to overtake West Ham and United and at least get into the Europa League.
I would not engage in gambling in this game by placing a bet, the maximum that is more or less reliable here is BTTS.
Yes, in this match Newcastle definitely has big motivation to win the match against Tottenham. Because if Newcastle can win over Tottenham, then it is certain that Newcastle can overtake Westham in the standings. Then, if you are lucky, Newcastle also has the potential to overtake Manchester United, if only Manchester United draws with Bournemouth. However, the possibility of this happening is very small, so in essence Newcastle's biggest chance now is to beat Westham.

Apart from that, even though in this match Newcastle is playing at home, I don't think this will have much of an impact. The reason is, Tottenham's performance is currently good. So as I said, Tottenham definitely has a chance of winning this match rather than Newcastle. But even so, I agree with you about doing BTTS for this match. Because it is very likely that more than one goal will be scored in this match. So doing BTTS in a match like this would indeed be better.
Because it will definitely be safer.

Personally, I might as well do BTTS in this match. Maybe the BTTS I will choose is BTTS Yes. The reason is that even though Tottenham has a big chance of winning, it is possible that Newcastle will also score one or two goals in this match. So choosing BTTS Yes, I think it would be better.
