A report claimed that Real Madrid dropped the bid of signing Mbappé because of his age. And a close look at Real's new signings shows that they are interested in young player. PSG should raise or sign young players and allow advanced players to move to Saudi Arabia  .  But according to other reports, Real Madrid will make their offer as soon as the year ends. Actually, I still doubt this report, but if it really happens, it might be the last offer for Kylian Mbappe. Real Madrid are tired of waiting for uncertainty from Kylian Mbappe and they should look for other options for strikers. On the other hand, Real Madrid actually has everything to offer, but why should they bet on Kylian Mbappe and not try other players out there because it is impossible for them to continue playing without the number 9 player next season. We have to understand that player like Mbappe is a big name and whenever media lacks something substantial to write about they will drag big names into the picture and make headlines with them. Other big names are - Ronaldo
- Messi
- Bellingham
- Haaland
- Vinicius
And many others. Currently the media has nothing to write about Ronaldo and Messi concerning transfer because they are out of Europe. Other supper stars are committed to their clubs, so it is only Kylian that they can write about. Secondly If Real Madrid will be patient of not giving any offer to Mbappe till now, I do not think that waiting till he becomes a free agent will be a problem. |

I suppose you might be wrong when you talk about Luis Enrique when he was working in Barcelona, we know Luis Enrique is a gear coach and he had good performance when he was working in Barcelona but this coach is now working in a different team than Barcelona in which Luis Enrique is having a different situation and we can't expect to see the same performance from Luis Enrique and PSG in the Champions League, in fact, everything is changed and predicting PSG for the this Champions League is not that easy.
Where exactly have I been wrong? I said that he was a lucky guy having this superior team back at the time and I think that's true. Any coach having a superior team is lucky. It doesn't guarantee winning the Champions League and that is why it is still a great achievement by Luis Enrique, but I would never put Enrique on the same level as Guardiola or Klopp. PSG had a few weak Champions League games that convinced me they will not win the competition. They had some good games, but also some bad games, which is too much instability to win the title. Whether we talk about Liuz Enrique or we talk about PSG, it is all the same story. When the club is not good, the coach cannot be said to be good. Take the case of Chelsea football club as a case study. Right from Graham Porter to Lampard and now to Pochetino, we cannot condemn Chelsea as a football club and exenorate the coach. When the club is good, the credit goes to the coach and when the otherwise happens, the blame goes heavily on the coach too. We have seen PSG performance so many seasons in the champions league and we can agree that they have been excellent but yet they could not win the champions league. Therefore this season that we can say that they are performing below expectations, there's no magic that will make them win the champions league. |

It's nothing new that they want the Champions League title, they've been trying to achieve that for years. It's natural that people think Ligue 1 is easy for Paris Saint Germain, because as I've said many times that there are no really promising rivals here right now.
But I wonder to them, why they don't do a long-term strategy, I mean why they don't try with a regeneration buzz to make their dream come true. Bringing in star players with a lot of money has been done, and it's not working. Now I think they should do a long-term option. Can learn from Manchester City under Pep, they finally have a strong foundation and a mature squad now.
Yes, I really agree with your opinion that PSG has often made every effort to make PSG's future brighter, but the only thing that PSG management has not tried is to maintain a generation that is capable of creating a bright future, such as looking for players who are truly reliable, appreciate it and do it. approach well and also bring in quality coaches with experience and maintain whatever happens, even if they fail, there is still the next season to achieve the champions league title and the most important thing is experience that can determine what the main mistakes are that make PSG always fail and can be corrected without repeating them. in the following season. To win a title in the Champions League can never be that instant, it even takes a long time, like Manchester City last season managed to lift the CL Cup, but before that the club went through several failures but always retained its coach and key players because all the PSG players and coaches needed time to can understand the right strategy to reach the final round and win the match to get the trophy but unfortunately PSG often makes mistakes making the star players uncomfortable and also the coach is always fired which makes the coaching candidates feel like they won't accept the offer from PSG because it's only will fire if it fails. Paris Saint Germaine management has done everything within their power to lift the UEFA Champions League title but the closest they came was when they reached the 2020 final which they lost to Bayern Munich. They've signed a lot big players as well as high profile managers to achieve the that feat of becoming the European champions but despite all these actions, they're yet to lift club football's most prestigious trophy. One thing that the management of PSG has failed to understand is that it takes a lot of consistent years of top football performances to achieve what they've been longing for. They're always signing big players and managers with the aim of getting quick positive result which hasn't even worked for them as a club. They were close to being eliminated from the group stages this season because of their poor performance but I think they're gonna improve with their performance in the knockout stages of the competition or face early exit from the knockout stages. |

Honestly, I am very sad to learn about this unfortunate incident, this is one of those things that happen in gambling and it just gives gambling a bad name and make it look like a taboo for anyone to engage in it, why on earth will a full grown man like this take his own life simply because of a loss of $3000, people loss up to $20,000, $50,000 in gamblimg and still move on with their normal lives, if $3000 was too much for him to lose in gambling, why did he stake it?
This is such a bad news, and I hope that we all can learn even more lessons from this, always gamble with not more than you can afford to lose, gambling is risky, to be on the safer side, gambling primary for fun and let the profit be secondary, this is something Ive seen other users say here, and I am still joining them to say same thing.
May his soul find rest.
This one of the reasons why the gambling thread is always discussing issues concerning gambling while educating many people about gambling. Sometime ago, someone introduced a topic on "gambling responsibly" which many people contributed their respective opinions about gambling responsibly and how a gambler should not exceed his gambling limit. I've always said this on this thread that if a gambler can't gamble responsibly or can not control his emotions after losing money in gambling, it's absolutely unwise for such person to even engage in gambling activities in the first place because he's very unlikely to manage his emotional feelings when he loses big. According to the news I heard about the incident of the guy that committed suicide after losing a lot of money in gambling, more than 50% of the total amount of money he lost in gambling that made him took his own life was borrowed and it was borrowed after he went bankrupt by losing all his money to gambling and in his quest to get back the already lost money, he decided to borrow money to gamble more with the hope that he's gonna win big at the end of the day but unfortunately for him, he lost all to gambling and became depressed immediately. He couldn't manage his emotions about his huge loss abd decided to take his own life. May his soul rest in peace and I wish others will learn from his experience. |

I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.
I'm not sure where you observed that, in my experience it's completely random. Rich people can win big and can also lose huge amounts. Poor (relatively) people can also win big if they're lucky but they can't lose much as they don't have many funds to lose. If we follow this logic, it's even better to be poor.  However, if you mean rich who became rich by gambling a lot successfully, then it's a different story. Then these are pro gamblers and I'm sure they will do better than 99% of gamblers. Gambling is one game that can be won by either the rich or the poor and that's because of the fact that both rich and the poor can be lucky on their own days. There's a popular saying that gambling is a game of luck and anyone can be lucky but one thing we can shy away from is the fact that the rich is more likely to win in gambling than the poor because of their gambling strategies. For instance, if a rich man wants to gamble, he picks the biggest odds that gives him more winning probability and stakes a huge amount of money in them while when a poor man wants to gamble, he picks the smallest odds that offers him little winning probability and stakes on them while hoping for a miracle to happen for him to win. Being successful in gambling is absolutely different from winning in gambling because for you to be successful in gambling, it'll take you a lot of winnings and that's why it's very rare to see people who say they became successful through gambling because getting more wins than losses in gambling is actually a very difficult task that needs more luck than strategy and experience to achieve. |

The last game against Newcastle was finally won by Spurs... Maybe this will be the end of their failures... Today they will play Nottingham Forest away, and if Spurs want to stay in the European zone, they need to win... The odds on them winning 1.7 are not bad...
Tottenham have just come out of their back-to-back negative results, Newcastle are the victims of their resurgence. The match against Nottingham Forrest can be said to be an easy match for them, so they have a very big chance of being able to get back 3 points from this week's match. Notingham Forrest is in a bad situation, they continue to lose. And if Tottenham cannot win in this match, then it is a very disappointing result that they achieve. The advantage is on their side, other than they are the visitors. Still, even though they are guests, the difference between the two is very clear. Following the defeat at Chelsea, Tottenham went four English Premier League matches without a win before their last weekend game against Newcastle which they convincingly defeated the Magpies. Their performance in the game against Newcastle was one of their best performances this season in the league and I think it'll go a long way to boost the team's morale and confidence as they continue to fight for a return to the top of the premier league standings. They face Nottingham Forest this weekend and if they can replicate their performance against Newcastle when they visit Nottingham Forest this weekend, I don't think the hosts will be able to stop Tottenham Hotspur from taking all three points from that game. Tottenham Hotspur's manager Ange Postecoglou won the the English Premier League manager of the month for the first three months of the season because of their very impressive performance in the first three months of the season and I'm sure he'll definitely want to see his team return back to consistency once again which another league win at Nottingham Forest will be a good step to do that. |

I don't know what exactly is happening with Liverpool tonight but I least expected such poor performance from them because they appeared much better than saint gallilous and even have a better form and depth than they do but it's really unimaginable how they are loosing already in the early minutes of the second half.
I'm hoping they will be able to get an equalizer but it's looking like they may likely not get such because their opponent is bent on getting another goal which has just been canceled by VAR. Leverkusen on the other hand is already four goals ahead, maintaining their unbeaten streak this season in the Europa so far, they are loosing to me like the team with the most potential to win the Europa, because Liverpool who I was hoping could do any better is currently Lossing form and it's really sad that it has to be with smaller teams which could be considered weak.
Liverpool don't want to risk their key players playing in a match that no longer has an impact because whatever the result, they have already ensured that they have passed the group phase, and you can see that the starting XI is filled with a lot of second-tier players, even their goalkeeper is the second goalkeeper. Liverpool has a more important match in the English Premier League because they will face Manchester United. A lesson for bettors is to ignore matches that no longer have an impact on one of the teams because the results are difficult to predict, as happened in Liverpool's match last night, and no one will certainly be disappointed with these results other than bettors who think that Liverpool will be able to win convincingly because the opponent has a different quality to Liverpool. The result of the match that was quite surprising in the sixth match was how Real Betis failed to qualify from the group phase and couldn't even occupy second place in the group because they lost to Rangers and that happened at their home, they controlled the game but many opportunities couldn't be maximized but Rangers played effectively by successfully scoring the winning goal which made them qualify from the group phase. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp already knows that his team has won the group E of the UEFA Europa League competition before their final game of the group which means that the result of their final group stage game against Union Saint-Gilloise isn't gonna affect their position in the group and that's why I wasn't expecting him to field a strong squad in that game of last night at Union Saint-Gilloise. The Belgian club took full advantage of the opportunity and delivered an outstanding performance but unfortunately for them, it wasn't enough for them to progress to the knockout stages of the competition as French club Toulouse defeated their hosts LASK to finish as the group runner's up which sends Union Saint-Gilloise crashing out of the Europa League competition. The final matches of the group stages has been played and all the teams that progressed to the knockout stages has been confirmed as well. The UEFA Europa League returns in February when the knockout stages kicks off but until then. |

Liverpool have really struggled to win their last few games in the Premier League, but when they play Manchester United I'm sure their performance will be better. Liverpool's performance is very good and they are working according to what Klopp expected, so 37 points in 16 matches is enough to prove they are superior to Manchester United.
Liverpool has strong games coming which they should be prepared for, against Manchester United then against Arsenal. Those two games will determine if Liverpool will remain in top of the table or not, I bet that is the reason behind the coach resting some major players in his team like Mo Salah. After Manchester United, Arsenal will be ready because they have a great team news about the return of Thomas Partey who is an important player for Arsenal especially against other big teams because of his versatility. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp already knows that his team has important matches to play in the English Premier League and that's why he rested most of his first team players today in their UEFA Europa League defeat at Royale Union Saint-Gillois. Liverpool will begin their very busy schedule of the festive period when they host Manchester United in the English Premier League this weekend and considering the performance of both teams since he start of the season, many people are backing Liverpool to defeat Manchester United in that very crucial game. Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United have been shambolic and poor with their performance both in the league and in the UEFA Champions League. But I think they still they have a little chance against Liverpool to at least get a draw in that game |

Everton are currently a better team than Chelsea even with the points deduction; they’ve defeated Newcastle and Chelsea yes you could term its motivation from the deduction but this should be a warning signal to Chelsea, their week in and week out lost most of their players to injury or cards and these give chance for rotation and while rotating, the cohesion isn’t there which could be a factor to their falter.
Everton has become a club to pay close attention to in this season from their performance in recent games, this has placed them in a better position to stand against any other stronger club without any fear and there is no way that we can compare Chelsea vs Everton for the season and just as you pointed out, Chelsea have lost some of it key players to injury and some of the other factors that have been affecting Chelsea I internally since the last couple of a few seasons back. But then this is football and we can't outrightly write off any club and for that, we must also check out possibilities that can play out and make Chelsea have luck and possibly come out with better results in the next couple of games ahead. When the season started, no one will or tipped Everton as a club to compete for any tangible thing this season. Everton is known for being able to fight and defeat relegation and that is exactly where everyone is expecting them to be. But surprisingly amidst the sanction, Everton is motivated and surprisingly winning teams. Their win against Newcastle United and Chelsea FC is a signal that shouldn't be undersighted. Talking about comparing Everton to Chelsea, I understand and agree that Chelsea is a bigger team. But for this season with this two weeks good performance of Everton, it seems Everton is more consistent that Chelsea this season. |

Man United doesn't seem to have much hope and can only fight for its position in the English Premier League. It was the only way but Liverpool were not worthy opponents. Liverpool is too strong and much more stable, while Man United will certainly suffer a lot if they face a strong opponent. In my opinion this is a disaster and will still benefit the opponent. Let's say Man United loses then can they still keep their coach? The question we most want to get the answer to. Playing at Anfield unfortunately Man United nightmare will never end. Just imagine how enthusiastic Liverpool will be in enjoying this match.
Is obvious that Liverpool is going to win Manchester United because Manchester United is very inconsistent in performance and considering the small clubs that has been wining them on there previous matches you will see that they are no match for Liverpool and however aside from Liverpool performance they also have the home advantage to Manchester United so they will surely use the opportunity to deal with Manchester United. This match is actually going be one of the most entertaining match of this weekend because everybody will like to see the outcome of the match, however the only way for Manchester United to come back to there normal form is only if they can make some adjustments on the team and most importantly working as a team because Manchester sometimes plays as if they are from different teams that are still struggling to understand each other. Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the English Premier League and there's no doubt that they're capable of beating any side in the league when they play at their best but considering what we've seen from them this season, I think they don't stand a chance of getting any result from their game against current league leaders Liverpool this season. Playing as an away club at Anfield stadium is one of the worrying moments for any club in the English Premier League because whenever Liverpool is playing at home in front of their usual exploding fans, they tend to be unplayable. Last season, Liverpool had a bad campaign but are trying to make up for their shortcomings by winning a major title this season and winning the English Premier League is the top of their priorities this season. Liverpool are currently leading in the league table and knows how important every win can be to further strengthen their quest to claim the English Premier League title once again so that's why I think they'll surely be playing at their best against Manchester United this weekend and I don't expect Manchester United to be strong enough to stop them from winning that game. |

I feel very sorry for Newcastle. They have really been so competitive in the champions league, but they were not Lucky enough to progress. I will blame that on the injury list which the club has been managing since the beginning of this campaign. Eddie has really done his best but there was nothing more he could have done when almost all the fist team squad are injured. To me Newcastle really did very well, but they have to improve and come back to the competition hopefully next season.
Newcastle is a new team in the Champions League, so it is very natural that Newcastle has not yet qualified for the next round this season because Newcastle does not have much experience in the Champions League. Meanwhile, the other three teams in the same group as Newcastle are teams that have often been in the Champions League even though they have not often won trophies in the last few seasons. However, I also still think the efforts made by Newcastle were extraordinary in this group stage. Newcastle isn't a new club in the UEFA Champions League competition nor were they appearing in the competition for the first time but had not participated in the competition since 2003/04 season until this season that they were able to qualify again for the competition. After 20 seasons of waiting, Newcastle return to the competition was somehow disappointing and I think it was because of the fact that they unfortunately found themselves in a very tight group. The group F of this season's UEFA Champions League group stage was regarded as the group of death because of the quality of teams in that group but Newcastle still have their best which unfortunately wasn't enough to keep them in the competition. They're out and will now focus their attention in the English Premier League and any other domestic competition that they're still participating on. After the first half and Newcastle's dominance, I didn't expect Milan to be able to make a comeback in the second half... But Newcastle were unlucky and the European season is over for them... Maybe they could have been lucky if they had a different group... Hopefully I can see them in the Champions League again next season...
Football is a game of 90 minutes as well as a game of two halves and that's why a team have to perform well in the two halves to win a match. Newcastle were undoubtedly the better side in the first half of the match but couldn't keep up with the performance of first half in the second half and that gave their visitors AC Milan a chance to come back and win the game. AC Milan is more experienced club than Newcastle in the UEFA Champions League competition and yesterday, they showed resilience and determination than their hosts which they got the reward of playing in the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League competition with that crucial win at Saint James stadium last night |

Recently, David Alaba has been making frequent mistakes and that's not only in the Champions League but in La Liga too. However, it seems that his position will not be replaced considering that Real Madrid no longer has a defender option after Militao has not yet recovered from injury. Ancelotti not only trusted him but also gave him the task of leading the defense and that is why David Alaba became an important figure for Real Madrid's defense. He also often helps in attacks and of course we still remember his cross against Napoli a few weeks ago before finally finishing well with Jude Bellingham's header which resulted in a goal.
Of course, as a very experienced player, David Alaba must correct his mistakes and this will also have a full impact on Real Madrid's defensive strength in La Liga and if he can progress well then Real Madrid will not be easily broken down by their opponents.
Real Madrid may be struggling due to the absence of important players as well as inconsistent performance from the players. Carlo Ancelotti is present to put everything to the test, winning becomes vital, and Real Madrid has everything they need to prevail. However, there are mistakes in the defense lines; we know the workload on these defenders is difficult. David Alaba may make numerous mistakes in the Real Madrid backline, but he quickly recovers and returns to form before anybody noticed. He should be given time to rest because he handle important roles in backlines. David Alaba might not be playing at his best like we've seen from his days at Bayern Munich as well as when he newly joined Real Madrid but one thing factual fact we can't feign ignorance of is the fact that the Austrian is one the most experienced defenders in modern football and that's why Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti trusts him with the leadership of the club's defense in the absence of Brazilian defender Eder Militao. Alaba has made some avoidable mistakes this season but he's also in many occasions played very well for the club. I think he's gonna continue to keep his place till when Militao is fully back to fitness. If you look at the statistical data, Barcelona should be able to beat Velencia because this club is not very strong, especially as Velencia is not in good condition lately and has experienced 3 defeats from the last 5 matches. I think Barcelona can take advantage of opportunities when Velencia's condition is not good and I am sure Barcelona is capable achieved victory in this match.
Competing as a guest of course, Barcelona will experience a little difficulty against Valencia, even though from the statistics Valencia doesn't look consistent because they played very badly in their previous match, but in the match against Barcelona, at least Valencia must play as hard as possible to not lose points, at least they can balance Barcelona's game and share. points with Barcelona. Barcelona are also not completely in good condition, especially considering yesterday's defeat in the UCL when they visited Antwerp, they were defeated 3-2, even though in the end they still qualified for the next round in the UCL, Xavi had to really put pressure on the players to get full points, especially The previous defeat also against Girona, they had to lose points, against Valencia at least Barcelona must be able to get full points to be able to maintain their position in the current standings. Last weekend, we saw how Barcelona were humiliated in their own home by a very impressive and outstanding Girona side and I think that has given people a different opinion about the club and how capacitated they are as a club. Valencia hasn been less impressive this season and that's why many people including bookmakers are backing Barcelona to claim all three points from that game. However, considering the fact that Barcelona will be playing that game away from home, I think Valencia stands a chance of getting something from that Spanish La Liga game on Saturday. |

The ball is in the court of Victor, he might decide to extend his contract or leave for another club. He recently stated that he has put his issues with Napoli behind him and that he has forgiven them for the insult he received on their social media platform. If he is still happy in Italy, I think he would sign a new deal, otherwise, he might consider leaving because many clubs can give him a more lucrative contract than what he would be offered by Napoli. Is Victor Osimehn happy in Italy? If you ask me I would say Last season he was so happy but i can’t say the same this season, Napoli’s performance has dropped drastically and it has affected his performance as well as Kvaraschehlia’s and the scandal that happened also contributed a lot to all this. He might have forgiven then but how certain are we that they won’t repeat the same thing when things turn out bad again in the future. When he makes his decision we will know if he is happy in Italy and if he still wants to stay and fight for the club. The offer is very tempting but i hope he makes the right decision for himself Considering the kind of treatment Victor Osimhen has received from Napoli in the last eight months, I don't think the Nigeria international will want to extend his contract with the club again. Last season, Osimhen's performance for the club was undoubtedly the best by any player as he numerous number of goals greatly contributed to the team's success last season but I was surprised when another player from the club win the Italian Serie A best player if the year. Again, earlier this season, there was a video in the club's official social media handle that made mockery of Victor Osimhen which he reacted to by deleting all his pictures with the club's kits on his Instagram account which the club is yet to apologise for till date. They've not celebrated the player as much as they were supposed to celebrate him and that's why I think he's surely gonna leave the club. Here we go, manchester united has been linked to the someone who potentially to be a new coach  Im very glad to see that sir jim ratcliffe has been making a fast movement for manchester united. he thought that if united needs to be refreshed by replacing the current coach which was eredivise centric coach with a better coach. As reported by goal of sir jim has been contacting him and he was willing to recruit him as a new coach for manchester united. Yeah he is GRAHAM POTTER. This is amazing to see that how sir jim was targeting a new coach that has never achieved anything during his career as a professional coach. I don't even agree with this shit. Sir him has a mission to destroy manchester united by changing it with garbage coach like potter. Yet there is still a guarantee if potter can change the club to be even better but it's pretty small though. It's very bad to see that and i consider this as a degrade for manchester united. I want to believe that the news of Manchester United wanting to replace Erik Ten Hag with former Chelsea manager Graham Potter to be a joke because in my own opinion, Erik Ten Hag is a better manager than Graham Potter. Graham Potter did well with Brighton and Hove Albion which made Chelsea to bring him to Stamford Bridge but his performance with the London club last season I think disqualifies him from managing a big European club like Manchester United. The management of Manchester United must know that the club has not lived up to the expectations of their fans since 2013 that the club's most successful manager Alex Ferguson left the club and must go for a manager that'll bring them back to winning ways again if they eventually sack Ten Hag and not a manager like Graham Potter. |

UEFA Champion League matches group round have been over and have 8 eliminated teams from group stage who finished on third standings position will participants in Europe League trough playoff round against Europe League teams finish as runner up place. Seems have to add other favorite teams list become the Europe League winner after having teams eliminated from Champion League, I think AC Milan, Galatasaray and Benfica are teams have good experienced in Champion League will make difficult for Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen are teams favorite before. Champion League teams will play on Europe League- Galatasaray
- Lens
- Braga
- Benfica
- Feyenoord
- Milan
- Young Boy
- Shakhtar Donetsk
Will have one of 8 Champion League teams will success in Europe League and manage until final stage? Previously I talked about Benfica who would become a new challenger in the European league and now I think Milan will also do the same. As a team that failed this season in the Champions League, the strength of this team cannot be underestimated and last season, if I'm not mistaken, both of them managed to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The experience and depth of the squad will be very influential for these two teams and maybe even if Leverkusen or Liverpool meet these two in the European league round, I think they will have to be more alert. For Galatasaray, I don't include them as a candidate for the team to win the European league title and like other teams they will only be a complement in this competition. For a team that has the possibility of success, in my opinion there is none and in fact competition will still be Leverkusen and Liverpool's advantage. I've carefully taken my time to access the the eight teams that progressed to the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League competition after finishing third in their respective goups in the UEFA Champions League and I think there are three clubs from those eight that are gonna be serious contenders for the Europa League trophy. The three clubs I think are gonna pose great threat to Liverpool and Galatasaray -the initial two clubs that are considered as the favorites in the competition are Galatasaray, Benfica and AC Milan. After watching Galatasaray, Benfica and AC Milan's performance in the Champions League, you'll agree with me that they were unlucky not to reach the knockout stages of UCL and now that they'll playing in the Europa League, they'll certainly want to prove a point which I think makes them strong contenders for the trophy. However, I don't think any of them have performed better than either of Liverpool or Bayer Leverkusen since the start of the season. |

I don't really think it can be easy for Nice to claim this title from PSG. There are some league that the winner most times hardly change(Ii.e the league isn't that competitive). This is where the french league fall. It is not in anyway competitive. PSG has been dominating this league for years now. Although PSG are not really in great form compare to before but any team that will claim the tittle from them will definitely do extra work.
PSG is a good club with outstanding players, the current form of PSG is satisfiable to the fans atleast they're winning and also doing better in the UEFA Champions League, these are the things fans are proud of and hoping for a day to come, when they will lift the UCL title but definitely not this season. Paris Saint Germain is a great club, no doubt about that, they dominated the France league with magnificent performances though they're not in form this season, other watching their inconsistency stats in matches. Nice putting up threats and top run for the Ligue One title this season. Nice have been outstanding with their performance in the French Ligue 1 since the start of the season and judging by what we've seen from them so far, I'm very optimistic that they're gonna have a good campaign in the league this season. However, I don't think they stand a chance of winning the French Ligue 1 title ahead of current French champions Paris Saint Germaine. PSG has been the most consistent team on the competition this season even when we all know that they've not been at playing at their best as a club. The quality of players in the Paris Saint Germaine set up makes them stand out from the rest of the teams in the league and losing the league title to a Nice team with lesser quality of players would surely not be acceptable to the management and fans of PSG. The manager of the club Luis Enrique knows he can't afford to lose the league title with the quality of players at his disposal and that's why he introduced better playing style that saw them significantly improve from their very poor start to league season while overtaking Nice in the league standings. Paris Saint Germaine has been impressive in the league but but struggled in the UEFA Champions League competition. Had Newcastle United defeated AC Milan yesterday PSG would've not progressed to the knockout stages of the competition with that draw at Borussia Dortmund. They have a very strong squad but the manager must learn how to make good use of his players in the European Cup |

Even though there is a greater possibility for Napoli to win the match at home when facing Cagliari, I think Napoli should not underestimate a team like Cagliari because this season Cagliari also often surprises in matches with other big teams. So Napoli also have to be more serious in facing Cagliari because every victory must always be achieved with struggle. Because victory will not come by itself if the team does not try more seriously even though the team they are facing is a small team.
In theory, Napoli must win against Cagliari. Napoli has a better squad and they also will play the match at home. We know that Cagliari is in the 16th place, it is not very far from the relegation zone. From this position, we also know that Cagliari is not in their good performance this season. So, playing against weaker team like Cagliari which isn't in their good performance, Napoli must get full points. However, I agree that we don't underestimate any team in Serie A because the small team can be an obstacle if they can play as a solid team during the match. But I believe that Napoli will beat Cagliari with big scores in the upcoming match. Based on what Napoli showcased in the champion league competition to defeated SC Braga 2-0 show that they are about to recover from their losses they experienced from some matches, and there is a hope for Napoli to defeat their opponent in their next match to set to take back the first position in the Italian league table before the end of the tournament. If you look at Cagliari performance in this season, you will believe that Napoli will use them to improve their points in this match, because they don't have potential squads that can stop Napoli not to achieve victory from this match, and Victor Osimhen and other strikers will use their opportunity well to help the team to score goals that will give their fans joy. Under new manager Walter Mazzarri, Napoli suffered the second consecutive Italian Serie A defeat away at Juventus last weekend and I thought it was gonna affect their performance in their final and most crucial game of the group stage against Portuguese club FC Braga yesterday but contrary to my thoughts, the reigning Italian champions delivered an impressive and outstanding performance to progress the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League competition as runner's up of the group C. The Italian champions hasn't been consistent in the Italian Serie A since the start of the season and are currently not in the top four of the Italian Serie A standings but the convincing win against Braga last night I think will go a long way in boosting the morale and confidence of the team as they continue to go fight to finish the season in a good position. Victor Osimhen who was crowned the CAF African Best Player of the year on Monday night once again proved his worth by scoring a goal in the match. Hopefully he's gonna score many more goals for Napoli before the end of the season. |

I saw the game Newcastle played and lost in the EPL and I was like, ok they have a good reason for losing that game but this game against Ac Milan was so annoying to see the home side getting that goal that should have been the only lifeline they had but they couldn't defend to the last. I expected more from the EPL team (Newcastle) but they played like fatigue had gotten hold of them all.
To me I prefer the Newcastle of last season to this one we're seeing now, these set of players are not really up to the task and I don't see them coming back to compete in the UCL next season, this is the end of Newcastle playing the champions league.
This is the stats Newcastle generates from the UEFA Champions League. They're competitive, we know that but they lacks the confidence and experience to follow up these elite clubs and besides there group becomes the very challenging group in UEFA Champions League this season. Group F comprises of Paris Saint-Germain, Borrusia Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle united, these clubs are here not to jeopardize their actions of not qualifying. The end of the UCL road for Newcastle United this season, the Magpies losts to AC Milan which would have made then see the european spot but got defeated, Eddie Howe will work out plans to become stronger next time. I feel very sorry for Newcastle. They have really been so competitive in the champions league, but they were not Lucky enough to progress. I will blame that on the injury list which the club has been managing since the beginning of this campaign. Eddie has really done his best but there was nothing more he could have done when almost all the fist team squad are injured. To me Newcastle really did very well, but they have to improve and come back to the competition hopefully next season. Newcastle's performance in this season's UEFA Champions League group stage might not be enough to have taken them to the knockout stages of the competition but it wasn't as bad as that of their English counterparts Manchester United who found themselves in a more favorable group than that of Newcastle. Despite been drawn in the most difficult group of the competition after twenty years Newcastle's of absence in the competition Newcastle still have delivered a good performance and were seconds away from claiming a huge victory at the Parc des Princes, the home ground of Paris Saint Germaine last two weeks before they were denied by a stoppage time controversial penalty which Kylian Mbappe converted. Manchester United on the other had a very poor outing in the competition this year because many including bookmakers expected them to join Bayern Munich as the two clubs that should make it out if the Group B. In a group that consists of other clubs like Galatasaray and Copenhagen, Manchester United was only able to win just one game out of the six games played and finished fourth in the group. I'm still surprised that the club is yet to sack their manager Erik Ten Hag |

I wouldn't call him a hero or a fool because he simply did what he needed to do in his situation. He was losing more than he could afford to lose and he had to find a solution to stop that. I think he made a good and brave decision by doing that. Not everyone addicted gambler can take steps like that because addicted gamblers mostly don't realize where they are going and what they are getting themselves into, even if some of them do, they don't do anything to stop that from happening.
Only a small number of addicted gamblers can manage to take such steps where they finally decide to do something about their addiction, and if they do it themselves, without having any assistance from others, that's commendable in my opinion. I would applaud an addicted gambler if they manage to get out of their addiction without personal or professional help.
I totally agree with your point on the subject because the young man in question was intentional with his action which he did to regulate his excesses in gambling. For an addicted gambler to help himself overcome his addiction in gambling, he must firstly accept his fate as a gambling addict before he can start applying measures that'll help him overcome his addiction and carefully looking at the story of discussion, the man in question has already accepted that he's lost more than he's gained hence the need to regulate himself. It was indeed a bold step to regulate himself by going to the authorities and report himself as a gambling addict who's seeking for help to stop his addiction and that was why his name was flagged but the incessant urge to gamble still didn't stop him from going to casinos to gamble even when he knows that his name has been flagged. In my own opinion he's a hero who truly wants to get rid of an addiction that's messed up his financial life. |

It shouldn't be a big problem for Milan to become one of the favorites in the European League. Even though they haven't appeared consistently enough this season in Serie A, I still think Milan will be able to compete with the strong teams that first got through the Europa League group stages. but Milan must try hard to compete with Roma, Atalanta, Liverpool, and Leverkusen. In terms of quality, Milan should be able to compete. but we'll see how prepared they are for the Play off match. I didn't follow the chronicles of AC Milan in the champions league. Even when I knew their group was a deadly group, all my attention was in Newcastle because I am an English fan and the next was PSG and Dortmund. So,. I never tipped that AC will qualify for the champions league and I am surprised that they displaced Newcastle to have a slot in the Europa League. Newcastle exit also didn't surprise me much when I noticed they lost consecutively in the English premier League, I understood that they cannot qualify from such a technical group. Xxx Champion League teams will play on Europe League- Galatasaray
- Lens
- Braga
- Benfica
- Feyenoord
- Milan
- Young Boy
- Shakhtar Donetsk
Will have one of 8 Champion League teams will success in Europe League and manage until final stage? In my honest opinion, I do no think that any of this 8 clubs coming from the champions league has the capacity to win the Europa League. I am very sure that they aren't stronger than Liverpool and Leverkusen. |

That was the same defense that was defending for Manchester United when David De Gea was Manchester United's goalkeeper. David De Gea managed to help Manchester United qualify for the Uefa Champions League this season and also won the best goalkeeper in the Premier League with that same defense.
However, in reality, the Manchester United goalkeeper could not withstand the attack from Bayern, which resulted in him having to accept a 1-0 defeat. In the final minute, Manchester United should still have had the opportunity to score a goal, but Manchester United's front line had difficulty scoring a goal until the match was over. This is an important evaluation for Manchester United so that it doesn't happen again in future matches. To start with, the goal against Manchester United from Komman wasn't Onana's fault. I mean the shot was from 10 yards arena and no goalie is expected to stop that goal. I hate that behaviour that every goal that gets into the net is always blamed on the goalie. Whenever it is goal keepers fault, we will all know and whenever it is not goalkeeper's fault, we should try to exonerate him. Talking about De Gea managing the same defense Onana is unable to manage. You should also try to understand that De Gea has been with the defence for so much time while Onana is still trying to synchronise. It seems that this season's top scorer will be difficult to predict, because Son Heung-min from Tottenham Hotspur has also currently bagged 10 goals and is certain to be a tough opponent for Mohamed Salah. I think Erling Haaland must recover quickly from his injury because the number of goals he scores could be overtaken by Mohamed Salah or Son Heung-Min.
It seems like Son Heung-Min will become the top scorer because in Manchester City there are many players can score a goal, in Liverpool sometime the players give many chances to Nunez, while in Tottenham the players mostly pass the ball to Son. But if Son suffer an injury and make him missed many matches, he will not become a top scorer. We should not write out Haaland in the fight for the highest goal scorer because he will return to the competition heavily, especially as KDB is about to return. We all know the link between him and KDB. |
