It is very natural that PSG is still in the favorite in today's match because after all they are now in their own home so it is very natural that they are favorites but honestly in terms of the game in this match I actually feel that Barcelona is better in terms of performance than what PsG shows.
PSG is indeed good but in terms of movement and maturity in attack I think the Barcelona midfield is more able to dictate the game and until now I think it is still proven.

Indeed, for now PSG is trying to play more rhythm especially after Barcelona managed to get a goal back but the way PSG is doing now is risky because in my opinion it could be that they are currently conceding goals again if their performance is like this considering Barcelona is better in terms of attack.
I really see that PSG is very ambitious to win their home game, but without ignoring the fact that Barcelona is much more likely to hurt them. Barcelona is back in front of the home team with a score of 2-3 now, with only a few minutes remaining in the match before the end. Barcelona increased their chances of winning after Christensen came on, this was really unexpected.

Xavi made a substitution when they were 2-1 behind PSG, it was a smart decision in my opinion because Pedri, who had just been played, also contributed an assist for Raphinha's second goal in this match. So it is never wrong that Barcelona is basically not a weak team that is so easily underestimated.

Overall in the first half I concluded that both Madrid and Man City were experiencing the same pressure. When the hosts conceded in the opening minutes it clearly really surprised me, the goal was quite short. I believe it was a fatal mistake at the back. However, Madrid managed to comeback and scored 2 goals in just 2 minutes. Once the lead is in the house, the rhythm of the game decreases slightly and is not as intense as when the game started. I think Man City will improve their attack completely. KDB hasn't been fielded yet, so it's better for Pep to just do that in the early minutes of the second half.
Pep Guardiola really seemed to have to make some changes in the second half, especially because I saw that the defensive system that Manchester City built in the first half was really fragile. There was a lot of free space that Real Madrid's attackers could exploit in the first half, then several players also lost the ball too often at their feet.

I know Manchester City dominated this away game, but they need to focus more on effective play rather than just high ball possession. Kevin De Bruyne and Doku will likely get minutes in the second half, but it looks like Pep Guardiola chose not to make changes early in the match.

As a supporter of the Gunners, I really hope Arsenal can become champions in the Premier League this season. even though they have the same points as Liverpool, Arsenal are superior in terms of goal productivity. that's why Arsenal is at the top of the standings. the point is, Arsenal must sweep all the remaining 7 matches. Moreover, with many goals scored in each match. even though it is not an easy matter, there is no choice if Artera and his squad want to win the Premier League trophy.

As for Liverpool, they actually have the same opportunity. Jurgen Kloop's squad only needs to sweep the remaining matches with a win, as well as a big victory. In this way, the opportunity to shift Arsenal's position can be realized. however, it is not an easy matter, especially since there are still Spurs and Aston Villa who can prevent the Red squad from progressing.

City is no exception, Pep Guardiola's team is just waiting for the two teams above them to make mistakes. yeah, one mistake can be fatal for the team of those who made the mistake. so, this competition still presents interesting competition and is worth looking forward to.
Arsenal and Liverpool both have the chance to win the Premier League title this season, but Manchester City still seems too close and should not be ignored. Manchester City is only 1 point behind Arsenal and Liverpool, so they are still very likely to hurt Arsenal and Liverpool in the remainder of this season. There are only 7 games left in the season and the top three teams will do their best to maintain and increase their chances. Certainly very interesting, but the current top three odds may not be evenly matched based on probability.

I tend to be optimistic that Manchester City will successfully defend the title this season instead of Liverpool or Arsenal, but the latter two teams certainly have a good chance of stopping Manchester City's dominance. Of course it's still difficult to say who is the best when they still have some tough games to play, but I hope for the best for Manchester City.

It's hard to believe that Bayern could lose, but I also didn't think that they could lose in Rome, and the seemingly weak Lazio did the impossible. If you compare, then Arsenal should be stronger than Lazio, and therefore this time I admit the thought of Bayern’s defeat today, but I don’t want to believe it. Bayern's experience in the Champions League is much greater and this can play a role, for Bayern the most important thing is not to lose today, for Arsenal only victory is needed.
Lazio is certainly not better than Arsenal, but Lazio has a stronger defense than Arsenal. But what happened, Arsenal and Bayern Munich both scored goals even though Bayern Munich are now leading 1-2. Arsenal basically dominated this match and they took an early lead through Bokayo Saka's goal, but Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane ultimately put the visitors ahead.

Meanwhile, Manchester City was also 2-1 behind Real Madrid, just like Arsenal, Manchester City took the lead even though REal Madrid took the lead. Manchester City's defense was unsettled and it looked like Real Madrid could take advantage of that to score a few goals, but Pep Guardiola looks set to solve that problem.

It is true that Bayern Munich are not in good form. In the last two matches in the Bundesliga, defeats against Dortmund and Heindenheim, the performance of the Bayern Munich team has not been good. But let's not forget that Bayern Munich is an experienced team on the Champions League platform. Even losing the last two Bundesliga games could be part of Thomas Tuchel's strategy.

Arsenal team is in very good form right now. The top spot in the Premier League is now occupied by Arsenal. The performance of this team is good enough in the Champions League as well. So there is no doubt that today's match will be very competitive. But it is impossible to predict which team will win.
Of course, Bayern Munich is a team that has more experience in the Champions League than Arsenal, but that is not the reason why Arsenal should lose a lot of chances to win their home match. Arsenal are favorites to win in the first leg, it is the Emirates Stadium which is Arsenal's headquarters. The fact that Arsenal seems to be completely favored by the bookies, however I am not so sure about whether that will be true.

The odds of a draw seem more reasonable than having one of the two as favourites, but I agree Arsenal get the home advantage today. Arsenal have a better chance of winning, but of course this will really depend on how Bayern Munich plays throughout the match.

PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 is truly enormous. No other team is able to pose a threat to them. This is not the same as Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Even though they are able to maintain a distance of 16 points from second place and have an unbeaten record this season, their dominance can still be measured and achieved by other teams. No one thinks Leverkusen is a team with a player capacity that other teams cannot beat. You all know what that means. I personally think Leverkusen can still be beaten, but I never thought another team could beat PSG in the race for the Ligue 1 title.

Yes, I also think that even though Mbappe will no longer play at PSG next season, he is definitely motivated to win the Champions League. At least Mbappe will continue to give the best for PSG.
You have stated the facts about PSG and I admit it. Every season all the teams in Ligue 1 continue to try to stop PSG's dominance in winning the title, but this plan is ultimately very difficult because the PSG squad is really good at being consistent with its performance. They are able to maintain their chances of winning the title, even if there are one or two teams that compete closely in the middle of the season.

PSG is good in Ligue 1, that's a fact. However, in essence, PSG really experienced failure in the Champions League, which they have not won until this season. PSG's main focus is of course on winning any title, but the Champions League title is always their main hunting target every season.

Arsenal performance is really good this season, I never expected them to keep on performing better till now, their performance this season is just better than last season, everyone expected what happened to Arsenal last season to repeat itself, but this season is just different. seriously Arsenal is really ready to win the trophy this season, and I won’t really be surprised if they win the league title this season. Arsenal haven’t been joking with their matches, they are playing well when playing against both weak and strong teams. The league title can’t be predicted this season, no one  is sure about the club that will be winning the league this season, but with Arsenal current performance, I won’t be surprise if they end up winning the league.
That's right, Arsenal's performance so far makes it very possible to expect the title at the end of the season. But wait, Liverpool has the same points as Arsenal, while Manchester City is trailing the two from behind with a 1 point gap. Arsenal and Liverpool are under pressure to maintain their performance until the last season, here Manchester City, which is also performing well, can wait for the two top teams to slip up and take over the top of the standings.

I'm still not entirely sure who will win the title. The reason is, the three teams (Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City) both have the opportunity to win it. Some people expect Arsenal to win, others expect Liverpool, while I expect Manchester City to defend its throne again.

Arsenal were not completely in a favorable condition against Bayern Munich because Arsenal had just finished a match in the domestic league with less rest time than Bayern Munich's rest time.
From this situation, I doubt that Arsenal can perform as well as possible and in circumstances like this I think it is more profitable for Bayern Munich even though Bayern Munich is not as good as Arsenal's performance this season with the series of results they have obtained.
There is a possibility that the first leg will end in a draw. For winning results, the chances are still small.
All the Premier League teams who will face their opponents in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals all lack rest time. Not only Arsenal, Manchester City also had the same fate as them when Pep's troops had to visit Real Madrid just a few days after their last match in the Premier League. Of course, fatigue is one of the factors that will affect team performance, but that alone is not enough to be a reason why a team should lose.

Bayern Munich on paper has more experience in the Champions League than Arsenal. Bayern Munich are one of the title favorites this season, but considering Arsenal have had good form so far they also deserve a good chance. Arsenal cannot be underestimated, they have reliable and reliable players, but fatigue and mentality factors are things that might have an impact on their game.

This is a very difficult target, Madrid does have quality players and is ready to face Man City in better conditions. However, the problem is Pep Guardiola strategy often makes things difficult for Ancelotti. Ancelotti is a coach who has experience in the UCL, no doubt about him, but if he can't find the weakness in Guardiola's strategy, when you say that Madrid can win with a big score, I'm not sure about that. Even a 2-0 win is very difficult to achieve. IMO
Many people underestimate Manchester City because they only know that Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League with more titles. It seems as if Real Madrid can never be defeated and is invincible to any opponent, but in reality Real Madrid can also fail in many seasons.

The Real Madrid and Manchester City match is very difficult to predict. Both teams have great coaches and are very experienced in the Champions League, they also have players who are ready to give their best for their team. Real Madrid has a good midfielder, Manchester City has one too, and both teams have a good squad to beat each other. Both teams have a good mentality to face any team, so this match will be very difficult. People will support their respective teams regardless of the probability and superiority of the other team.

Liverpool lost a great opportunity, they are now in second place. Their championship chances have decreased because their fixtures are very difficult. There were very few places that saw them as first favorites anyway, Manchester City and Arsenal are much more confident. Liverpool will most likely finish the season third. I calculated that they would get 15 of the remaining 21 points, and that is at best. They have now lost their psychological superiority.
I can imagine that the next 7 matches will be finals for Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. Neither of them expects to drop points regardless of who the opponent is, so each team must be played to the best of their ability. None of them will underestimate their opponents in the next 7 matches, they will be very focused on winning every point they are fighting for.

Liverpool didn't lose much, they still had a chance. Arsenal is not at all safe from remaining at the top of the standings, while Manchester City will continue to pressure the two top teams with all their abilities. If Manchester City manages to lead the standings, then I am sure they will secure the title again this season.

I couldn't believe that outstanding strike from Mainoo after a side turn, which made him more comfortable to take the shot into the right top corner of the post to put Manchester united on the lead. There is hope back for Liverpool as Wambasaka has made a foul inside his own box. Salalah have scored the penalty to equalize the goal for Liverpool. I don't know what is wrong with Man United, whenever they are on the lead, they will make a foul inside their 18 yard box, giving their opponents the opportunity to equalize the game. It is 2-2
This was one of the most tense big matches this week, but both had to be satisfied with sharing 1 point each. Manchester United ultimately had to repeat the same mistake in two consecutive matches, of course because they gave Liverpool a penalty before the match was over. Ten Hag tended to emphasize defensive play in the remaining minutes, this caused Liverpool to press better and they had opportunities to avoid defeat.

Just like the match against Chelsea, Manchester United failed again to win the match when the match was almost over. Defensive errors were the cause of their failure to get maximum points, of course this was very expensive. But of course the results of this match benefit Arsenal and Manchester City, because Arsenal still leads the standings on goal difference, while Manchester City only has a 1 point gap with the top two competitors.

Although Bayern Munich's performance was not as good as last season in the Bundesliga but when they competed in the Champions League, they had the spirit and winning mentality that I think Arsenal still doesn't have. Apart from that, they have coaches who already have enough experience in the Premier League and Harry Kane who is very familiar with the playing style of Premier League teams. The only obstacle currently being faced by Bayern Munich is that there are several key players who may not be able to play when playing against Arsenal.
Arsenal actually don't fully expect to win the Champions League title this season, but the most important thing for them is to provide the best resistance regardless of who the opponent is. I agree that Arsenal tends to be a team that does not have a winning mentality compared to Bayern Munich, but this season Arsenal are really showing seriousness in every competition they participate in.

Arteta is responsible for providing the best for his team, of course he has prepared his squad well even though Arsenal's probability is actually not as good as Bayern Munich. I believe Bayern Munich is more likely to be expected to qualify for the semifinals, but Arsenal is not a team that can be underestimated considering its performance so far.

Everyone is eager to see what is going to be like on the occasion of the halving event, well, all i can say now is for us to do all we can while ensuring that we are investing and holding, because the market already is going unpredictable and we can begin to see the massive rise anytime from now, instead of us expecting what it may be like or look, we can have our hands on something that may give us opportunity over our investment on it, the earlier the better.
Halving is the moment when the reward per block in 10 minutes is halved from before, so what is there to wait for?
If you expect very high price volatility during an event, it may or may not happen. Bitcoin prices will likely increase after the halving, but not in the near future, which means it will take several months afterward for bullish prices to be expected.

If you are optimistic about getting returns in the long term, especially after the halving, then don't ignore the opportunity to buy now. You should at least have bitcoin in your wallet before you expect the price to rise to the moon.

Everyone who has just started getting into crypto, of course they don't yet know how to make a profit by investing or trading in crypto and this is normal, but if they can learn about crypto, of course they will be able to understand it well. either the right time to buy or sell in order to make a profit from the investment.

Of course, everyone who will invest in Bitcoin of course wants profits and they must be able to understand it well so as not to make the wrong decision in investing and the easiest thing that can be done to invest in Bitcoin is to use the DCA method, we buy in stages and hold on. in the long term to be able to generate profits from investments.
You don't have to be an expert if you want to get returns from investments, but you just need to know how to buy, withdraw to your wallet, and secure your wallet and hold it for the long term. It's a simple thing for anyone to do, but in fact not everyone who invests is an investor, but they are basically traders.

I prefer simple instead of expecting everyone to be an expert on day one. Over time, they will gain experience and hopefully also be able to develop their strategies and psychology as investors.

I don't want to be too optimistic to avoid disappointment. Let's first see Bitcoin reach 6 digits. After $100k, we can look at new targets. Although $400k doesn't seem very realistic right now, we all know how fast Bitcoin rallies. For 15 years, those who invested in Bitcoin have always won, and now there is no logic in betting against it.
Yes, that's a good idea. Lower expectations a bit and expect something more reasonable, $100k of course.
Of course it is not impossible for bitcoin to reach a price of $400k, but currently we have not found a strong reason to predict that such a high price can be reached in the next year. Despite the halving and approval of a bitcoin ETF, I also wouldn't be as optimistic as some people about $400k.

If the OP said $400k would be reached in less than 8 years, I would agree. At least that's possible, because we will be between two other halvings for the next 8 years. But just like you, to avoid disappointment, lower your expectations a little.

The game between Chelsea and Manchester was a draw game from my analysis of the match, Manchester United  is sixth in the league with a total of 29 games played, whereas Chelsea is in 12th position with a total of 28 games. However, we are in a crucial stage of the league, and besides these are two big teams meeting each other. This was the same analysis I used to predict the Arsenal vs. Manchester City game that ended in a draw. Manchester and Chelsea are both weak teams this season, historically their games are usually tough, whether they're in form or no form.
One of the two teams will win, so I'm not sure about a draw. Chelsea has a high probability of winning their home match, but Manchester United is certainly not worth underestimating. The match could be a draw if both teams are careful, but the match is expected to be very tight considering both need points towards the end of the season.

In terms of performance, Chelsea is certainly still quite good compared to Manchester United. Chelsea is unbeaten in the last 5 matches, but Manchester United experienced 2 defeats in the last 5 matches. I think Chelsea's chances of winning are quite good in their home match, despite Manchester United's ambition to compete again in the European zone.

Of course, this is Xabi's first time coaching Bayer Leverkusen and taking him to a bigger contest, to be precise, bigger than the one they are currently in at UEL. In the UCL there are strong teams from the top league which is a tough obstacle for Leverkusen, especially to get the title, they have to be able to get past Real Madrid and Man City, both of these teams are experienced teams in the UCL, as well as they also have to get past their tough enemy in the Bundesliga, namely Bayern Munich. who has a greater advantage compared to him.

However, if Xabi is able to provide good tactics and strategies then Leverkusen deserves to be in this big competition competing with the top teams. I can't wait for Leverkusen to play in the UCL, whether they will experience bad luck or good luck for them.
It is always difficult to maintain the performance of a team as rapidly improving as Leverkusen in a season even if Xabi Alonso builds his squad with several new players. Each season the competition between teams will be very different because the coach's approach to strategy may have changed. The large number of matches scheduled is one of the reasons why performance can decline, not to mention the failure of some players to maintain their best form.

Of course good wishes are always expressed, but in reality every coach will find it difficult to maintain the best form of his team. Xabi Alonso must realize that and he must be ready for all the challenges next season, but first he must finish this season with brilliant achievements.

This is enough to prove the true quality of Manchester City and Manchester City even made several player rotations in this match, but this did not have a big impact on the team's performance.
It was previously predicted that Aston Villa would make it difficult for Man City because both teams are highly motivated, Aston Villa is struggling to finish in the top 4 and Manchester City is currently fighting for the Premier League title this season, but Man City is right. really very strong and proved their true quality by winning this match easily.
It is true, initially Aston Villa was expected to be a stumbling block for Manchester City who are struggling to defend their title this season. However, throughout the match, Aston Villa did not make much effort in terms of scoring goals because they were busy defending against Manchester City's good attacks.

Manchester City basically had an unbalanced defense due to injuries to Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake, but the other players who replaced them played well and they were able to respond by conceding only 1 goal through a counter-attack scheme. In the end it was a match that was easy for Manchester City to win, even if they didn't have De Bruyne and Haaland.

Who has the higher market value? Phil Foden or Jude Bellingham?
Because you are using the Transfermarkt as a reference, you should know who is the most expensive player between the two. There is information listed there about the market value of every player you want, including Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden, so that question should have been answered.

Both are players with British passports whose performance is increasing with their respective teams. Bellingham and Phil Foden are the two best midfielders in England at the moment, but there are still several other good players such as Declan Rice and others. I can't compare their current market value, especially since both have high resale value at the moment. Market prices increase as they perform well, so there's nothing certain to say.

This happened because they were facing a storm of injuries to the core squad and even if it wasn't wrong they had lost almost 8 core players to injury at that time thus affecting the team's performance. Alexander Isak has had some good moments this season and he has been one of Newcastle's goal machines. Many clubs are starting to see his abilities, especially since he is still young enough to develop a career at a club that has far more potential to win titles because staying at Newcastle doesn't necessarily mean he can become champions.

His desire to stay until his contract ends there is still a chance for other clubs who are interested in signing him because even though he says so. If the club intends to sell because they need some additional players that will be another matter and maybe he will get a place as one of the players to be sold.
Newcastle still needs to improve the squad instead of letting some of its best players leave at the end of the season. Alexander Isak is one of the important players in Newcastle's squad this season, so they need to keep him instead of selling him. It is true that it is difficult for Newcastle players to hope for a title, but it is not impossible for this team to follow in the footsteps of Manchester City because of its good financial strength.

This season Newcastle's performance is very different compared to last season, even though they have improved their squad. Of course player injuries have had a significant impact on the team's performance, but that should not be the main reason why they have dropped so much so far.
