Real Madrid are rumoured to be after Raphael Varane to sign him back. They are in a big need of a centre-back from now on as Alaba picked up an unlucky injury recently. I think it would be better for Varane to return to his old team as well. His performance at Manchester United is really inadequate these days. I don't know if he would make progress in time.

But he was surely much better back at Real Madrid.  Smiley  I think Ancelotti would be okay to see him back as well. I don't know if they have anyone else who is better than Varane on their radar. Manchester United are already said to be interested in selling Varane.

I don't know the issue with Manchester United, Rapheal Varane bid a god damn great player but they have choose to let him go. Anyways, if itsnfor the betterment of the club then they can leave.
I already said it above, they don't need stress, he just need terminate his contract with Manchester United and move to the best club in the World.

All of Real Madrid fans would be damn excited to see him returning. Bayern Munich are also linked to replace Benjamin Pavard who left for Inter Milan this season. Who wouldn't ne happy to see him back? Four times Champions League winner and ome time world cup winner.

Bologna are playing really well at the moment, but I think Inter just decided not to fight in the Cup. Just like Napoli, only Napoli did it blatantly. Now top clubs have other tasks in domestic leagues and Champions League. So they don't need the extra pressure.
Extra pressure is not needed by the top teams at this time because on the one hand they also want to protect their players for the more crucial matches this season. But in general, all teams will definitely not ignore their wins against any team because every win will always result in more points and make them stronger in the top position. We can see an example in the Bologna team who are currently in the top four of the standings thanks to their own determination in winning the match.
Bolognas strength currently doesn't look to me like it's going to last long enough so I don't really trust them even with this their recent performance which looks like they are in a good form, although the season has gone a long way already such that it can be said that maintaining it long enough will be easy for them through the season.

Napoli, inter Milan and Juventus needs to watch out for bologna because they may gradually overtake them to the top but then I doubt if teams like inter Milan will just let such happen easily because they want to win the league title aswell regardless of their participating in the UCL aswell, Juventus is also chasing to get the league title aswell which is definitely priority to them because they have no other competition they are participating in, bologna may just end up amongst the top five by the end of the season.

We don't know that yet, we just have to keep on accessing the situation and how they go until tue last few games of the season. They could do better and improve their house things can as well go sideways but we'll seen. They'll be against Atalanta who won four goals to one during the last game. I'm suspecting they would share points against Atalanta.

For Frosinone against Juventus, let's see how they try to repeat that same score against Juventus. They got to trash Napoli during the cup games. I want to see if they're strong enough to run down Juventus defense with four goals. Difficult for them ain't it?

Liverpool against Arsenal is an interesting match that will shape the way the Premiership title will go this season. Checking their H2H record, Arsenal have only won Liverpool once in their last 9 meetings. This makes Liverpool the favorite to win the match but base on present realities, Arsenal have maintained a good performance this season and have a golden opportunity of winning the league. So I see them going all out challenge their closest rivals. Liverpool will however, not give yield easily, Mo Salah will do his best to win a trophy this season because there are indications this may be his last season in Anfield. A lot are unclear about the match and it will really be difficult to predict.

This season's EPL League season is very competitive, the points difference is not too far from the teams in the top four. Man City is a bit inconsistent in some matches, but other teams must remain alert to Man City, because currently many Man City players are injured. The real test is when Man City players are not injured. Liverpool is mighty but doubtful. Arsenal are unpredictable until the season ends.

But in the Liverpool vs Arsenal match, I predict Arsenal will win. because Arsenal will take advantage of Liverpool's unstable (weak) midfield. And Arsenal must strengthen their wing-backs like Ben White. Because Ben White's weakness is when facing small and fast wingers.

Pep Guardiola and his lads are returning back gradually back to fitness both Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland are both back with the club. Jeremy Doku also included will be back soon but the club haven't given a fixed date for his return. When they return, the attack will be back with lots of goals but the defenders? Pep Guardiola also has to look at it once more. Twelve goals in the last six Premier League games? That's too much to be very honest.

Not wanting Liverpool to win are for personal reasons,  Arsenal should emerge winners in this game. I want to see them win the Premier League Competition at the end of this season but as you've said they're Fvckn unpredictable. I'm no gunner but I feel like they're going to step up them game. Unai Emery be doing well but how far can he go?

Is this for real? I just saw that goal posted the latest rumor regarding varane. https://www.goal.com/en/news/live/transfer-news-and-rumours-live/blt1ccfda38eda06d5a

It was saying that if real madrid is willing to re-sign him from manchester united. If that is true and it's a win situation for varane to go to the real madrid again. Madrid needs a good defender now and the performance of varana was really impressive in the match against liverpool.
It becomes the important thing that makes real madrid probably does U turn for him. it's amazing to see him back again to the real madrid someday. We need to get furhter confirmation regarding this but i hope him to go back and stay in real madrid.

Being a part of real madrid will help varane to get his best again with the right people there. Ancellotti is specialized in digging the potential owned by the players. Rodrygo and bellingham have proven it how ancellotti was impacting his performance.
I don't know what magic owned by ancellotti but i do support varane to join in real madrid again. It's a golden chance for him to play in the strongest and biggest club in the world.

Manchester united shall put him for sale in winter transfer season. This is amazing news to hear this day. Im not even expecting there is a rumor like that. We do know that if real madrid was rarely doing it.

This is true my man, I also saw the news and I was happy since Manchester United are ready to see him leaving the club at the end of the season or during the January Transfer Window.
This is a player who has a good understanding of the club Real Madrid and won't find it difficult adapting, even if it's for the next six months, of I was Rapheal Varane, I would run over to Real Madrid immediately.

Paring him with Rudiger would be more like another pairing with Sergio Ramos. In defense one needs to be aggressive and offensive player and the other needs to be calm and also a good passer of the ball. Varane is that player and would be a good pair with Antonio Rudiger.

I have a slightly different opinion than you. I think the Barca and Napoli pair is quite unpredictable; they are the reigning champions of both the Spanish and Italian leagues. Currently, the form of both Barca and Napoli is not good, but when they face each other, the result is hard to predict. Napoli's style of play remains challenging for teams from England and Spain. Therefore, it's not easy for Barca to overcome Napoli in this round.

When you look at the performance of this two teams, it is very obvious that they are on the same level now. Their individual performance in both leagues is just the same and nothing much can be said in their upcoming match against each other. One of this two teams will be eliminated from this round and won’t advance to the quarterfinals, the thought of it makes it more interesting to watch out for their match by next year when they meet in the round of 16.

It'll definitely be Barcelona progressing to the next stage of the game. I have gotten to look at them both and I have come to agreement that they're both in the same state but anyways, in the Champions League, you cannot overlook Barcelona, they a month and one week to fix things real quick and I'm sure that'll be definitely done.

Fixture between Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid gone be a blast. This is the same Inter Milan that got to the finals last season, dropping out so early? They've done that too much. Last season they scaled though. I be expecting same thing from them in this round. For Paris Saint Germany versus Real Sociedad, Luis Enrique is already experienced with Spanish clubs, you can already day they'll be exited.
1786  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 21, 2023, 08:22:44 PM
Some players of Barcelona were really performing badly against Almeria.
For example, the superstar player of Barcelona, Ronald Araújo made a huge mistake in this match and while we were expecting to see a perfect performance from this defender but he was the reason for Almeria scored their second goal in this game.
Ten Minutes after Sergi Roberto scored the second goal for Barcelona, Ronald Araújo gave a good chance to Almeria after he made Iñaki Peña to lose the ball.




The first blunder was that pass right in the middle of the pitch and it was clearly lack of communication from the defender that caused the error. At times I don't like him. He always wants to be seen busy bit he really doesn't do much defending for Barcelona. He should keep calm and play soccer.
Second was also lack of communication from both the defender and the goalkeeper. Even if that ball was left for Araujo, he'll also cause damages that would definitely lead to goal. Shout out to Sergio Roberto who gave em too great goals to win them the game last night.
There's so much to be done by Xavi Hernandez.

I knew Girona would win or draw tonight, the goal from Real Betis wasn't productive. The corner kick just cake and that defender sent the ball into goal. Trying to fight back bit Girona defender couldn't send that ball into goal.
1787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 21, 2023, 07:09:52 PM
We cannot really say that Barcelona are far better than Napoli.  They are struggling in the league and are dropping points here and there. They just struggled Yesterday against Almeria, which is the last team in the La Liga.

Barcelona's current form is not that great. Napoli's current form is also not that great either.  It is true that Barcelona has an edge, but Napoli are not going to give them win that easily. Barcelona's defense line and forwards really need some work.  Napoli suffered a big defeat against Frosinone as well.  Last season Barcelona beat Napoli  and Napoli would be hungry to get that revenge. It is anyone's game. And as I have said,  this is the Champions League and this brings the best out of everyone. So you cannot really say that Barcelona are going to get that win very easily.

When it comes to the ranking then you have to put Barcelona before Napoli. They both might be having issues but I'd always bring Barcelona before Napoli. It's Football though, anything can happen the under dogs can become predators. Xavi Hernandez has been backed the management and he will gradually sort all of them issues.

Napoli lost my lost because they used the second or B team to play the Copa Italia few days ago. Top names like Victor Oshime and Khivicha Kvaratskhelia didn't play in the first half of the game they came too late and wasn't able to do nothing to comeback into the game. I don't like the plans of Walter Mazzari. He's experienced, I would love to see that happening in the Champions League. ( Dominating ) sikce they've been knocked out of the Copa Italia.
1788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 21, 2023, 06:35:38 PM
In the Bundesliga Harry Kane now played in 15 matches and now has 21 goals, so far he is doing fine just like Robert Lewandowski did in the past was really great and Harry Kane is starting to get the gameplay of Bayern Munich and for sure he will really master the play patterns for Bayern Munich, and that 21 goals that he got are a mark of him becoming the next goal machine for Bayern Munich,


This is an extraordinary season for Kane, even though he has scored a lot of goals while with Tottenham, but his first season at Bayern Munich is more special because the hope of winning a trophy is quite wide open, at his age right now of course a championship trophy is a fixed price that he must get even though It's a bit late for a class player like Kane, Since joining Bayern, Kane has been required to replace Lewandowski, who Mane previously failed to do, so currently, Kane has played 15 times and was able to score 21 goals in the league so him has been named the fastest player to score 20. goals in the bundesliga.
Harry Kane is quite quick to adapt, even though they are only at Tottenham throughout his career but after he left he was still able to do very well. That's because of his experience in the Premier League I think and also the style of play from Bayern Munich is easier for him to understand so that makes the adaptation process go very well.
Of course it was a good choice when he moved here because here he has a very big chance to be able to get the title that he never got with Tottenham. He can only play well there and also get individual awards, but as a team he cannot get it because it is very difficult for Tottenham to compete with other big clubs. Whereas here he is closer to a title.


He's worked with top managers and top players over the years as a Tottenham Hotspur player and has no bad relationship with his mates. I think that's the key to his success during his time as Tottenham Hotspur player.
Playing for Bayern Munich isn't a difficult task I must say, besides he successfully played in a league that's tougher than Bundesliga, why won't he succeed at Bayern Munich. They also have key winger's who makes the attacking and chances creation easy for Harry Kane.

I must say I'm impressed with Serhou Guirassy, he should make good sue of his chances and leave for another club currently in the Champions League or aiming to get in. He's a very quality attacker.
1789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 21, 2023, 06:05:28 PM
Nkunku looks like his knee is alright, I get that some people did expected him to be not ready, after all having such a big problem and then coming back is not easy and everyone expected him to have a very slow start, but that didn't really happen, he played decent enough if you ask me.

Overtime he will have 90 minutes of lung to keep playing, his lack of sharpness will go down, and he will be ready to play all game every game until the end of the season unless he gets injured again. That should be something quite wonderful for them, it feels like there is a possibility that they could be fine with that, and I think that will definitely put them on the map without a doubt. I get that they are not going for the champions title, but they could do better than this.

He will cause a lot of problems against Wolverampton on the wing because he is a very skillful player. I still don't see them winning at home against Wolverampton though. This is another side that has gotten a good number of points when they play at home. I can recall how they won the game against defending Champions Manchester City.

My best prediction for that game should be for Wolverampton to win or get to share points. I'm anyways still disappointed with Mauricio Pochetino who is chasing the EFL Cup alone. I'm having the feeling it'll be another finals of Liverpool and Chelsea but don't have no idea and who wins finally.

The idea of Erik Ten Hag letting go of Sofyan Amrabat at the end of the season makes perfect sense honestly. They should invest elsewhere.

If Barcelona coach can work on their strikers before going to their next game, I believe it will really help them to stay in this 3rd position long because Girona will beat Real Betis in this game today and Real Madrid may struggle to draw 1:1 with Deportivo Alaves but they will still remain in the second position because Girona will continue leading in the la Liga league table. Barcelona secured victory from Almeria doesn't mean they will still win this trophy this season and their coach has a lot of things to do to save his Job next season because, there is no improvement to Barcelona players and they struggle to secured victory from weak team last game.

Well, let see how they will perform in their next game because many people will predict for Barcelona to win the game but if they fail to secure victory in their next game show that they are not destiny to end up in second or 3rd position this season.

Girona should either win or draw tonight, losing is not an option tonight, I don't know about Real Madrid bit judging from how they played during the last game even with some key players absent, they will still have to make sure winning the same way they did last game happens tonight. So far, they're the best side in La Liga following up with the pace set by Girona.

Barcelona would have to fix the defenders and learn to score goals. The lack of a good defensive midfielder to shield the defense has got to be part of the entire issues.
Araujo cost a big blunder twice yesterday. Robert Lewandoski on the other side needs to be dropped. They have a new youngin already training with the squad but will begin next season. He will be a big impact for em.

✂️

Unai Emery return to the Premier is at the right time. Liverpool against Arsenal should a full time draw, if it is not, then it should be a narrow win for the gunners.

One year and one month with Aston Villa, Unai Emery is the most successful coach. In his 62 matches with Aston Villa, he has provided 36 wins. Based on these statistics, for me, Unai Emery deserves to get the best coach trophy for December with the achievements obtained by Aston Villa.
Against Sheffield United, for me Aston Villa will win easily even though the result is uncertain.

In the Liverpool vs Arsenal match, I agree that the result is more likely to be a draw because Liverpool and Arsenal will fight tooth and nail not to lose points. Arsenal's chances of winning are slim to me because Liverpool are very strong at Anfield. As far as I know, Arsenal's best achievement at Anfield was a draw.

That's a great one, at most the home record looks great and whoever has hopes of playing them at home should have a time to double check anf think about it. Chelsea approached the game against Sheffield United too dull amd slow when they faced over the weekend. There was no difference between how they played and how Sheffield United did. It was Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer alongside the midfielder's that won Chelsea that game.

I'm gonna be biased, I want Arsenal to win the Premier League. Both sides should score themselves, but picking a side to win or draw? That's gonna be Arsenal.
1792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 21, 2023, 04:27:45 PM
There could be an opportunity for Aston Villa to take the lead in the standings by this week. Because while Liverpool are hosting Arsenal in a really challenging game Aston Villa have a very comfortable home game against Sheffield Utd. I expect a really easy win for Aston Villa considering how much they are in form these days. Nothing below is acceptable for them now.

They are going to play their game before the Liverpool - Arsenal game as well which means they will probably take the lead temporarily already. Like I said before I feel like Liverpool will win against Arsenal at Anfield. But if we get a draw then congrats to Aston Villa on their lead.  Grin

Beating both Manchester City and Arsenal are clear evidence that they're not to be seen as a small side. They have a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League if they continue this way until the end of the season.
I loved how he played Arsenal, should I day it was revenge? No!! He did his job for. Aston Villa and made sure they won the three points.
Considering the home form, they are not mates with Sheffield United. This is a club Chelsea won two goals to nil. Aston Villa should score more if they play a very fast footbal.

Unai Emery return to the Premier is at the right time. Liverpool against Arsenal should a full time draw, if it is not, then it should be a narrow win for the gunners.
1793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 21, 2023, 04:00:01 PM
It was a comfortable win for Leverkusen which is good for the determination to win the Bundesliga. It was also great to see that coach Xabi Alonso is preparing for the African Cup of Nations that will take place from January to February in Côte d'Ivoire. In this game with Bochum, he benched almost all African players who will be leaving for the African Nations Cup so that he can experiment with his options when they leave. Leverkusen has about five key players that will be interested in playing in the African tournament. Xavi's strategy worked perfectly with Czech Republic striker Patrick Schick getting his first hat trick which means he is capable of mounting the attacks for Xavi's side.

But the Nigerian Talisman Victor Boniface proved himself with a goal immediately after he was introduced by scoring one goal. With this goal, Boniface has scored 17 goals in 16  Bundesliga games which is an outstanding statistic.

Rookie of the year award to Victor Boniface for the fifth time, No? The Nigerian had indeed been in a pretty great form for Bayern Leverkusen. Few minutes bhe was introduced and he got to slot one in for the club. I will be vexed if they don't end up winning a trophy this season. His price tag already increased with the development of his game.

They don't have too much of these African players,and even the player's they have are not completely part of the first team used to win all these matches. Xabi Alonso has really done well, I think he now holds the record of not losing in Bundesliga since the start of the season.
They should make some key quality signatures during the January Transfer Window.
1794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 21, 2023, 01:40:31 PM
Kalvin Phillips is the player of Manchester City who is near to leaving the team and Guidiola is not interested in using this player in the game they have.
Since he didn't get the enough opportunity in the games he wants to leave the team and some other teams like Newcastle and Juventus want to hire this player from Manchester City but Kalvin Phillips said he will leave Manchester City and join another team if he makes sure that he can play in that team.



A move to Juventus was much anticipated for Kalvin Philips, I think they're still in talks with the player with a potential move to get him all signed up. Manchester City and Pep Guardiola didn't give him enough chance to play, they didn't at all. Since he moved in, he has been Injured and took a long time to see him recovering from Injury.  Leaving Manchester City is the right thing to do if you ask me. Pep Guardiola had no plans of using him. I don't think Pep Guardiola was in charge when they signed Kalvin Philips from Leeds United.

Mauro Icardi seem like a good option to lead Real Madrid attack for the next few months ahead, he had done well for Galatasaray, he could still do same for Real Madrid.

Serhou Guirassys release clause too cheap for anyone to complain about, moving to a club with Champions League should be his next move.
1795  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 21, 2023, 12:41:38 PM
The match Between Barcelona and Napoli is going to be 50-50. Both Barcelona and Napoli have been looking inconsistent in their performances. Barcelona will be in the 4th position if Atletico Madrid wins their next game and Napoli is in the 5th position.

But it's the Champions League and it brings the best out of every team. I would say Barcelona will have an edge in this match as they are a club with history and their fans will push them for victory. Key players from both teams need to perform. I would say this is the only pair up in the UCL which will be a 50-50 in round of 16. This is going to be very exciting on both legs.

Manchester United is also a club with good history but they're already having the worst season ever which we have already. Barcelona are far better than Napoli. Napoli are no match to Barcelona not even in the slightest way possible. Barcelona are just going through a very though phase honestly, if not that, talks about it wouldn't even pop up.

Napoli don't have a good coach, Walter Mazzari is not someone they'll want to boast for, he's a poor coach honestly. I feel like Xavi Hernandez is a more tactical and sound manager than him.
Don't use the position in the La Liga to judge them, rather use them currentl form to measure how they will perform in the Champions League come February.
1796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 21, 2023, 12:03:38 PM
I hope Barcelona can make that improvement and send Girona below them and Real Madrid. However after seeing how desperate Barcelona were against Girona a short time ago I really don't know about whether they can do this. Losing by 4-2 is really unacceptable for Barcelona. They aren't playing their home games in their home stadium temporarily now.

This is a disadvantage for Barcelona of course but not an excuse to lose points in the games they should be able to win. Girona have a much better team performance despite having a much less valuable squad. Barcelona also need this spirit to be able to compete with them and Real Madrid both.

Barcelona player's most of em are all about themselves, they don't have that time to play the way Pep Guardiola and Johan Cruyff former player and legend for Barcelona did em. I wouldn't want to mention names but they lack what it means to be called togetherness.
For Girona, they have that same togetherness and want to fight for themselves, when chasing goal they would rather pass the ball to the next man than hang too long on it.

Barcelona though have been hit hard with injuries and it has affecy the general performance of the club. After the win yesterday, Barcelona are now six points behind league leaders, Girona draws or wins and they'll extend the gap.

Sevilla with the win also, that was a great debut to remember for the new manager who won three goals to nothing. I hope they take them to the top of the League standing.

Thumping 5-1 win for Liverpool tonight. Much better than the bore draw against Man Utd on Sunday.

Much bigger game vs Arsenal at the weekend though. I will be there, looking forward to it.
As we have always known Liverpool is a big name and they have proven it this night by scoring a very high-margin of of goal against West Ham United. This is not a warning to only Arsenal in the upcoming English Premier League clash, but it is also a warning to Chelsea which is the only big team that is remaining in the EFL Cup. I just checked the starting 11 of Liverpool and discovered that they did not go in with all their big names. They went in with fairly squad that is able to match West Ham United. Jones did the majority of the work from the midfield and got a brace. In the other side, I expected Mohammed Kudus to do something similar, but the match overwhelmed him

I hope Manchester United will repeat the same scoreline we saw tonight. West Ham United would definitely be facing Manchester United and I'm not sure they can stand Manchester United in that game. Early kick off games are tiring and tougher for me to predict but I'm wishing Manchester United can win the game to aim for a better place on the Premier League table.

Props to Liverpool football club tonight, they have done more than enough, Jones second goal was beautiful, but I'll blame his first goal from the goalkeeper because that's a good example of poor goalkeeping.
Liverpool played at a very high intensity and it affected and disrupt the midfielder's of West Ham United.

Shout out to that left full back for linking Bowen with the pass to that fantastic goal.
1798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 20, 2023, 11:01:29 PM
I was confused when I this matchup. I wanted to say the same things about Napoli that I wanted to say about Barcelona. In so far this is a great matchup. I am looking forward to it and I believe this is a close game. I can't call out a favorite, I would still think that if Napoli gets back to old perfromances, Barcelona would lose, but I don't know.
Losing was never in the DNA of Barcelona but with their recent performances, I'm afraid they can be easily thrashed by these elite and mediocre clubs. Barcelona perfromances is volatile and we can not easily predict the winning scores for this fixture, it happen to be one of the challenging UCL game to play for. Napoli faces Barcelona in the round of 16, these fixtures are prerty tough and I doubt if Barcelona can make it out to the next round. They're both elite sides in their perspective leagues wnd and qualifying becomes an important spot for bothsides.

It's a game with lots of possiblites, for Barcelona fans to find the gamehar then they have serious issues going down with the club and the players and Xavi Hernandez is yet to identify that for the club now. I understand they're backing one of their players from time who brought stability to their midfied but they must not mix business up with feelings if he doesn't come up with a good plan.

It was poor tonight, Robert Lewandoski missed chances I hoped he'd score. Rumours of fans wanting him out of the club. Is he too old or what? Injury has just affected him badly.

Araujo also caused two blunders today, he should be grateful for Raphina and Sergio Roberto at most who helped win this game today.

On this Saturday there is a really attracting game between Roma and Napoli. The game is in Rome so it can be seen as an advantage for Roma. However I wouldn't trust Roma much for this game honestly. Because I don't like their recent performances in the league. Probably Mourinho will choose a cautious game plan against Napoli.

This is the classic Mourinho in big games in the end.  Grin  Napoli are even better at scoring now as Osimhen is back. He will be their key player against Roma surely. I think both teams will score and Napoli will manage to win the game by a gap of one goal.

Could this be the reason why Walter Mazzari dropped his first team? Old rivals I guess, they know themselves better amd how they'll both shape. This is tough game to decide though.
If it was to be last season, I'll say Napoli to win immediately without checking out for who's fee and completely fit to play for the club. Jose Mourinho would be without his best goalscoring player who is the Belgium International who's still serving the three match ban from his reckless tackle weeks behind.

Why's nobody talking about the Triumph of Thiago Motta and his Bologna side tonight? Like they literally held the best attacking club in the Scudetto Competition. It was a massive development and win. Beating them during the penalties I don't really care about, but they held em? I want to go see the line up before I can say whatever I want confidently.

Barcelona had a really big difficulty in beating Almeria. Whenever they got ahead there was an answer by Almeria but finally Barcelona managed to win after getting ahead the third time.  Grin  Lewandowski was silent about scoring a goal today but at least he made an assist. This win was really important for Xavi indeed considering their recent form.

They lost five points in their previous two games in the end. If they lost points in this game as well then probably the point gap with Girona and Real Madrid both would have been wider. But this season will be really tough for Barcelona anyway. I don't feel like they will be able to win the La Liga title.  Sad

Defending the tittle was my honest wish, from the start I've always rooted for them to defend the title bit injuries affected Barcelona. Though, I would say that they didn't start the season strongly. They struggled like we didn't expect and it affected how they played in La Liga and partly Champions League.
Tue management backing Xavi Hernandez makes sense, that's the right call to make, it won't be just nice throwing off a manager who won you the tittle last season. Besides, Barcelona are good at giving them legends time for upgrades and change.

They should level up and stop all of this unnecessary comparisons with Girona. Ain't it shameful? They should be doing this with Real Madrid and not Girona TBH!!
