Judging by Al-Nassr's impressive results so far, it has also finally placed the duo Ronaldo and Talisca at the top of the list of two attacking players in the top league 23/24. This is because the combination of these two players has managed to contribute 30 goals so far and the number will definitely continue to increase. The duet from other Al-Hilal players, namely Mitrovic and Malcom, is in 4th place with a total goal contribution of 25 goals. I will not exaggerate the results and after all other competitions are also more difficult than the Saudi league, but if we talk about Ronaldo and Talisca's achievements with Al-Nassr, of course it is worth celebrating. I hope that Al-Nassr will continue to maintain these two goal machines and provide them with longer contracts so that they can continue to contribute to the team's victory.

So in essence, even though Leipzig are not the favorites, it is hoped that they can give a surprise, especially when they face Real Madrid in the round of 16. I think this is very normal and it is impossible for football to always run as usual. I also hope that Leipzig can give Real Madrid a tough match and if they can win in one of the legs it will certainly be a good achievement. Playing against Real Madrid is something that most teams avoid and unfortunately Leipzig have to face them again after qualifying from the group stage.

The teams you have included for the semifinals are quite reasonable and indeed, of all the teams you mentioned, they really deserve their place. I'm curious how they can get through to that round considering the results will also be a bit difficult.

Just like a weak team in any competition, when its financial strength is still below that of the elite clubs that dominate a league, it is certain that they will often be at the bottom of the table. I don't think it's surprising that Damstadt are having a similar season and their important target is to stay in the Bundesliga next season. They know the benchmarks for the differences with other teams and they will continue to try with the current squad to be able to do that.

Their opponents are also strong teams and I think it's only Union Berlin that they can at least steal points from because we know that even though Union Berlin has escaped the relegation zone, their consistency is still quite doubtful. So at least they will use this match to get points and can't give up just because of the difference in level.

Even though Barcelona's chances are quite small, at least this season is still quite long and it is possible that they can compete again with Real Madrid. I say this not because I am optimistic that Barcelona can do it, but at least they have to keep trying and be able to improve the existing consistency. Barcelona's journey is also not easy because Girona and Atletico will be looming over them and maybe they will suffer a setback if they don't get better results in the second round.

Talking about Xavi, his future is quite complicated to get through this season and I think that maybe another title besides La Liga is what they will maximize and I don't think Barcelona will also be able to get that title easily. However, it is worth trying rather than regretting the downturn so far.

Thank you guys, even though every table has different matches and results, I'm happy everything went right. For Newcastle, they were indeed very disappointing, especially for every bettor who was hoping for a win but unfortunately they failed to secure a win at home to Nottingham. Actually, I almost bet on Newcastle in the second half but I hesitated again considering their consistency had been destroyed recently and finally chose the over goal option to determine the result. What I expected was Newcastle to win by that scoreline but the opposite happened and Nottingham destroyed them.

Eddie Howie is indeed the one most responsible for the performance of his players and the return of Aleksandar Isak, who has just recovered from injury, did not have a significant impact on Newcastle. I think they can't continue like this because the competition will always heat up every week and of course they don't want to be knocked out of the top 10 in the standings if they continue to fail.

With the current attacking options, PSG will still be able to score that many goals, but when they are in doubt about winning and have difficulty breaking into the opponent's goal, they will be very frustrated, resulting in losing full points. Nice is a team like that and I often criticize the performance of their players because they are only able to score one goal and the most fearful thing is that when their opponents can turn things around then they have to be willing to lose full points.

Here Nice really feels the worst compared to PSG because the number of goal productivity is very small and that is not good for a team that is trying to compete for the title. They may have a strong defense and concede few goals, but there are times when they will face difficult phases that make their defensive laxity easy to break down. I think it is very difficult to find a competitor for PSG with conditions like that and still PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 regardless of which competitor is close to it.

However, the problem is whether Atletico wants to offer him a contract extension or not and if that doesn't happen then Griezzman will have to leave Atletico when his contract ends. Currently his contract is still valid until 2026 and that is about 2 more seasons before his contract ends and if there is an offer from another club with a larger nominal value, it is likely that Atletico will also definitely open the door to his departure. We previously knew that Yannick Carassco had left Atletico at a fairly old age and it is possible that Griezzman will be the next player to leave Atletico.

The offer from the Saudi league is very tempting and it could make Atletico's finances more stable. I'm curious about Griezzman's next journey and if he ends up in the Saudi league, maybe that can at least make him happy by making a lot of money and having to forget about his dream of playing in Europe's highest competition.

Defense will be the most important concern for Barcelona in the Champions League this season and before the last 16 match begins, they must improve to strengthen their defense. Barcelona often concede goals and we can't really blame them because there are times when big teams experience a decline in performance. We also have to take into account other important factors, such as players who are injured, and if I'm not mistaken, in that match Ter Stegen was still absent due to a back injury and his position was still filled by the second tier goalkeeper, Inaki Pena. In the domestic league, there is almost no difference because Barcelona often lose points and here Ter Stegen's absence is really felt by the goalkeeper line. But it seems that before the last 16 match starts, Ter Stegen will definitely recover and be able to guard Barcelona's goal again so that they don't concede easily.

Every team will always correct the mistakes they made in the previous season and Stuttgart is a clear example for all teams in the Bundesliga to do the same. Indeed, no one thought that Stuttgart would be able to continue to survive even in the top 4 in half a season and it seems we all agree that they will be the new challengers for the champions league zone next season.

I still remember Hoffenheim almost doing the same thing as Stuttgart and sitting in 4th position in the standings but in fact their consistency disappeared and now they have to be thrown in 7th position. But actually it is still a good result for Hoffenheim because they can still get one of the competition zones other European countries if they succeed in overthrowing Dortmund or Frankfurt. But what is clear is that Stuttgart are at a different level this season and they are a strong team.

The Fiorentina vs Torino match was no less exciting because both teams stole points from each other if we look at the previous H2H and maybe this could be a quite surprising match in terms of the results. Maybe Fiorentina are favored to win because they are the hosts but they cannot take Torino lightly in this home match and I am quite sure Torino will provide fierce resistance.

The likely result is that the two teams will play a draw and this is definitely the most undesirable thing in betting. If Fiorentina wins of course they will replace Bologna in the top 4 and if Torino wins then they will eliminate Atalanta from position 8. Both teams need 3 additional points and it seems like betting over 2.5 goals is the most reasonable so far.

The two former Real Madrid players reunited but not as friends but as opponents. Yes, that was the Benzema vs Ronaldo fight in the Al-Ittihad versus Al-Nassr match. Unfortunately, even though they were hosts, Al-Ittihad still failed to secure victory after Al-Nassr beat them badly with a score of 2-5. In this match, Benzema did not score a goal but contributed 1 assist for Hamdallah, while Ronaldo recorded a brace through penalty kicks. In fact, the match was very fierce and both teams responded to each other's attacks, but Al-Ittihad's recent performance has not been promising and they have slumped further to 6th position and Al-Nassr has again closed the distance from Al-Hilal with a difference of 7 points with this victory.

---

Anyway, Ronaldo has increased his goal tally to 53 goals in 2023 and currently sits at the top of other great young players in Europe such as Haaland, Mbappe and Kane. Now Al-Nassr still has 1 match left against Al-Taawoun and yes, Ronaldo will definitely end this year as the top scorer in 2023 with another additional goal.

However, if these players are consistent enough and their performance continues to improve, PSG's chance of winning the title they dream of can be achieved. But if later these players do not meet expectations, of course they will also be open to offers from other clubs. PSG is still dreaming of winning the Champions League, but their journey is not easy because every time they play against a team of the same level as them in the higher rounds, they always fall. They have started to realize long-term investment in young players starting this season and I am happy that finally their management's mindset in attracting young players has changed.

But they also have to keep looking for players who are mature with experience because if they only rely on young players it won't be enough. I think PSG must take the right steps because they will be increasingly left behind by other strong European teams if it is only a stepping stone to winning titles for other teams.

What a night at Old Trafford! and big thanks to Garnacho and Hojlund who were my betting heroes last night.

Three multibet tables closed with wins and for the first one I had to make a cashout after the first half ended in the Manchester United vs Aston Villa match because I felt Manchester United would make a comeback in the second half. And what I felt really happened and Manchester United was able to make a dramatic comeback against Aston Villa. In that match, Hojlund scored the winning goal for Manchester United and also his first goal in the EPL after 14 matches without scoring a single goal.

3-2 win for Manchester United and if we look at the standings now they are only 3 points away from Manchester City. Next week will be even more exciting and if Manchester United can shift Manchester City's position, it will be a fierce competition between the two.

Well, congratulations on your victory Manchester United and thank you for making me really flutter.

Yes, we all know that and how Jose Mourinho got around the attack from Juventus was with a defense that was difficult to break down. Not only Juventus but any team will definitely find it difficult to get past Roma's strong defense and this is the only obstacle for Juventus to score a goal against Roma. However, I also cannot avoid the fact that Juventus has such a strong attack that this will be a very heated battle between the two teams.

Whoever makes a mistake is the team that loses and on the other hand, if Roma concedes first then Juventus' path to breaking into Roma's goal with more goals will also be realized. Well, Roma is not a team that gives up quickly and if they score first and then use a bus parking defense then it is certain that Juventus will lose this week's match.

Indeed, this will not be separated from the existing assessment and it will also be quite troublesome if Arsenal's new players will have difficulty adapting to their teammates. But that is not an excuse and they have to keep doing it, at least they don't lack player options when there is a problem with the main players.

As one of the teams that is favored to be a challenger in the Champions League this season, of course they don't want to show a modest game and at least being able to reach the quarterfinals is a very good achievement for Arsenal in the Champions League this season. They can try again next season and they will never miss the Champions League zone with the current squad because the depth of the squad is felt to be able to handle this.

I actually went the opposite way from you and bet on the result of over 2.75 goals. Actually, I wasn't really sure there would be many goals scored and I started this bet after halftime, but luckily there was a quick goal from Chris Wood in the second half which made my bet even safer and what was worse he scored a hat trick for Nottingham. I didn't expect that it would be Newcastle who lost and Nottingham proved that if there is still a long time, they will not give up and they managed to prove it.

My bet is not finished yet because there is still one match that has finished and there are 3 more matches remaining which will determine the winnings of my bet. But I'm curious about the results of the Manchester United vs Aston Villa match, remembering that I bet on the result over 3 goals and actually I'm quite pessimistic but hope that Manchester United concedes first so that the intensity of the attack will explode even more.

Previously I discussed the move of Sau Paulo's talented young player, Lucas Beraldo, who joined PSG. Now there is another name of a talented young player from Brazil who will join PSG and he is Gabriel Moscardo. A verbal agreement has been reached with Corinthians and we are just waiting for an official announcement from PSG. He is still very young at 18 years and he is a central midfielder who is expected to help the team's performance in this season's competition and the seasons to come. The cost is quite cheap, 20 million euros, which also includes add-ons for Corinthians.

It seems that PSG has started to look at young talent as a long-term investment and if his performance continues to improve over several seasons, PSG will definitely be open to any team that wants to bid for this player. But what is clear at the moment is that the task of these young players is to strengthen the depth of the squad and their role will also be very much needed when the team is having difficulties.

As was revealed a few days ago by Fabrizio Romano, to overcome the central defender crisis faced by Real Madrid this season, they are currently conducting discussions regarding the next new defender candidate in January. Of course, they don't want to go through the rest of this season with a limited squad and seeing that center back is the most crucial position at the moment, they must immediately get new players to continue to strengthen their defense line. Moreover, Real Madrid is still active in all competitions starting from La Liga, Champions League and Copa Del Rey and of course they don't want to miss out on any of these titles and are trying to win them all.

I think if Lunin continues to show good performance then Kepa must be willing to return to Chelsea because it is impossible for Real Madrid to have 3 goalkeepers and what's more, Courtois has also shown that his recovery is getting better. So we can see the possibility that Courtois and Lunin will still have goalkeeping options for the coming season.

I never place bets in advance and prefer to bet before the match starts because at least we know the lineup and also the possibility of which key players will be absent. Actually, betting using previous match results data is also quite good and regarding Monaco's defeat against Lyon, I think it is a natural thing considering that the prestige of both teams as big teams in Ligue 1 is still felt even though we also know that Lyon is slumped in the relegation zone. This is not a guarantee that Monaco can win against Lyon and it is quite normal if the result is not what we expected.

However, for this match against Reims, I am quite sure that Monaco will win and in my opinion, Reims' attack line is just ordinary and nothing special. When compared with Monaco, it is clear that the comparison is quite far, but what I fear is that Monaco will have difficulty getting past Reims' defense which is known to be quite strong. So the point here is what I mean, if Monaco succeeds in destroying the Reims defense then they will definitely win and if they fail the result is likely to be a draw. Everything depends on the situation in the field later.

It is not surprising that in the end the Saudi league started to be more ruthless in invading the top European leagues and they did not hesitate to spend funds to get the players they wanted. The Saudi League has everything that European players want, especially large salaries and also the guarantee of abundant wealth if they want to sign a contract with a Saudi League team.

It's just that this is not comparable to a more brilliant career in Europe by winning other prestigious titles and I think it comes back to each individual's view. They could come here for one or two seasons just to make a lot of money and if they still get the full attention of the teams in Europe then they will still be able to keep coming back later. The addition of slots for foreign players also proves that the Saudi league still has full control to control the market for all players throughout the world.
