Real Madrid was able to prove that they were able to maintain a positive trend in 6 weeks, previously Atletico Madrid wanted to end Real Madrid's positive trend at home, but in fact they were not too strong to beat Real Madrid.
Ancelotti did not risk resting Benzema, but the player suffered a knee problem against Celtic the previous week in the Champions League, which forced Benzema to rest in the Derby match, even in the match against Celtic Benzema was forced to come off in the 30th minute and was replaced by Eden Hazard.

Manager has to do the right thing for the team and ten Haag is doing that for the team. He is measuring players equally based on what kind of performance a player puts on the team. That requires guts which earlier managers didn't had. I don't think they will bench Ronaldo completely as they are out of attacking options and I think ten Haag plans is to use him as a striker in attacks at later stage maybe a bit with change in attacking strategy so I think somewhere there is a role for Ronaldo still. The thing is how Ronaldo is handling this situation as he obviously want to start and complete the game but manager always wants the best for the team and so at the moment he is not in starting picture right now.

Shey na dem talk say teachers reward dey heaven, maybe that an why our nails government dey do backhand on top matter wdy concern lecturers and professors salary.

Seriously, make the Naija government dey serious about giving adherence to these striking sectors. Na the future of our development dem dey play with so o.

De Jong is playing very well right now. I think the reason why he didn't leave Barca was because of his love. This could be an expression of his love for Barcelona. Also, if he goes to Manchester United  at this point, it will take him a long time to adapt and there are doubts whether he can play in the first XI. These are my personal opinions.

Ronaldo doesn't really have a "price", because it changes from club to club at this stage of his career. He is not the type of player who would be fine about going to Qatar or some Saudi team or whatever middle east rich persons team, or MLS, like Zlatan and Beckham did and earned a ton of money. If that was the case, I am sure you could find a team that is willing to pay 50 million for him and 50 million to him for 5 years, just look at Iniesta and how insane he is getting paid.

So long story short, that 20 million could very well become zero for the right team or fifty million for another, it all based on which team, he is not young anymore so his value is not known.

I don't think Spurs will let him go unless they go big on for Kane. Kane is crucial for Spurs and to get him from Spurs will require lot of negotiations and convincing. Remember when Kane was unhappy with Spurs situation couple of seasons ago, City made a bid of around 120m/130m mark (don't recall clearly but was definitely above 100m mark) and that was denied by Spurs. So unless Bayern make a really big offer I don't think Spurs will let Kane go. Furthermore, convincing Kane is also another issue.

Although some things show that the previous coach Thomas Tuchel was more experienced than Graham Potter who is currently the new Chelsea coach, we still haven't seen how Potter's strategy with Chelsea will be and it's not impossible in the remaining 4 match we can see something new from Chelsea.
At least Chelsea have 4 match left before deciding where they will go, so there is still a chance. After all, of the several clubs competing in group E, only Milan looks tougher than the others. So maybe it won't be too difficult for Chelsea

Chelsea will exit from the group stage without getting to the next round because it looks as if they were not prepared for the Champions league this season,and despite the quality players that they signed,they are still unable to show people that they worth the money,so far,it's only Sterling that has showed that he is worth the money spent on him,because his getting goals.

Ronaldo's market value has decreased by 10 million to become 20 million euros in three months.

The main reason should be his not having much chance after starting to do his best to leave Manchester United. He hasn't played properly in the starting eleven for some time until the Europa League matches. I still don't expect him to be in the starting eleven in their next Premier League match. Actually his market value would still decrease slowly because of his age above all else. But his ineffective performance is helping his value to be lower quickly. Depending on his recent performance he has a less chance to find himself a club that is in the Champions League. So he needs to show a better performance to help Manchester United be a part of it next season.

It baffles me to hear James Rodriguez a talented young player was playing his football in an Arab league, a league synonymous as a place of retirement for players who had reached the peak of their career, he couldn't get a regular playing time in Real Madrid because of the club was star-studded, thereafter Rodriguez brief stinct at Everton couldn't yield any positive improvement in his career neither after Carlos Ancelotti signed him, I hope his return to Greek league with Olympiacos and team up with Marcelo his former teammate and possibly rekindle or revive his dwindling footballing career and get a better chances or offer to play in a big league he is a player I admired alot.

People are saying now that Manchester city are too reliant on haaland,what if he got injured, they wont do well again, am surprised why in football people has short memories, this same city has won the premier League three times in four years, they last reach the champions just last year and they have been scoring goals for fun before now,is shocking when people say bad words about this wonderful club under pep gaudiola, I just believe haaland will improve them even more.

The English Premier League is getting more interesting and tougher with the new players that the clubs are signing and with the arrival of Diego Costa to Wolves, it's going to be a war this weekend because Diego Costa is one striker that keeps defenders awake till the referee blows the final whistle in a match. Wolves playing against Manchester City is going to be an interesting match to watch because one-man squad Costa is going to be in the game and we are going to see a war between him and defenders as he's known right from when he was playing for Chelsea as a radical striker that makes use of every given opportunity to score. About his exit to Chelsea, I think he was not in terms with the then-Chelsea coach Antonio Conte I believe his relationship with the man made him work away.

Rafael Leao is one of Milan's young stars since his arrival from Lille a few seasons ago
But something was different last season, where Leao had an influential role in replacing Ibrahimovic behind Milan's success in winning back the Serie A title with 11 goals and 8 assists from a total of 34 appearances.
I'm sure it's 100 million euros for this young player, but I don't think Milan will let him go unless it's confirmed that Ibrahimovic will be ready to play in the middle of the season.

Honestly Spurs was never a good team, they had that one good year and everyone expects them to do the same thing over and over again whereas they are not really good at all. Look at how many cups they won, how many domestic and international ones, look at how many league titles they have. This is a cupless team that never won anything and this puts something your DNA, you get used to not winning anything and that is why they keep on losing all the time and feel okay about it since that is all they know.

Look at most teams, they have a player that won something at least once, and that is how you gain leadership and the more you win, even if players retire or transfer you still have some left in your club.

This is a business, who can set the strategy then he makes a profit. This may sound the same as the previous Lukaku and Pogba although there are slight differences but the point is still going in the same direction
Hopefully with this Barcelona can make a better strategy with the transfer of players because in this case it is clear to say that their loss is definitely a loss.

I don't think that Arsenal will be able to hold on to their performance until the end of the season because they don't have that much squad depth. Manchester City really lacked a lethal striker for the last few seasons after Sergio Aguero left. But now as they have bought Erling Haaland, they will really try to push for the Champions League title which they have been wanting to win for the first seasons but were unable to do so.

So far Haaland has shown what he is capable of as he scored 10 goals in only 6 matches. So far Chelsea and Liverpool have been playing their game this season so Manchester City might have a really good opportunity to grab this and be the best team in England and possibly Europe.

Gavi who is still 18 years old is a valuable asset owned by Barcelona, what Barcelona did by moving quickly to extend Gavi's contract until 2026
was very precise. Because Gavi's excellent performance with Barcelona made Liverpool interested in signing Gavi. Seeing that there was interest
from other teams, Barcelona immediately extended Gavi's contract, now Gavi is under contract with Barcelona until 2026. Gavi in his new contract
with Barcelona was given a salary increase too, so that Gavi did not think about moving to another club. Knowing that Gavi has extended his contract
with Barcelona, this must have made Liverpool who had been eyeing Gavi disappointed. This means that Liverpool have to look for other alternative
players, because if they are forced to buy Gavi, Gavi's release clause value is very high.
