Diario AS reports that Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski is about to leave the camp of the Munich club. According to the source, the striker wants to continue his career at Real Madrid. The Pole's current contract with the Reds ends in the summer of 2023, so Bayern may consider selling him. Recall that the 33-year-old footballer has been playing for Munich since 2014. Prior to that, he played for Borussia Dortmund. https://www.readfootball.com/levandovski-pokinet-bavariyu-radi-drugogo-top-kluba-248342.htmlIt looks like evey player wants to move on in their career with Real Madrid these days.  Mbappe already wants to do so. And there were some rumours like that Haaland's first choice would be Real Madrid if he leaves Dortmund and gets an offer from Real Madrid too. And now, we are talking about another centre-forward who is Robert Lewandowski. He seems likely to leave this summer indeed. And I really see the best fitting team for him as Real Madrid. However, they can't sign strikers more than they need in the end. So I have doubts about this probable transfer. If I am footballer I will want to play for Real Madrid, players wanting to play for Real Madrid doesn’t surprise me. I will love to see Mbappe lineup with Real Madrid players next season I am sure he will be a key player and a good addition to the squad, he is still very much young and energetic, a lot to benefit from him. I am not really sure about Robert Lewandoski and E. Haaland moving to Real Madrid. Let’s see what will happen. |

Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 7 matches in La Liga. However, they have lost two crucial matches against Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. However, in La Liga they are quite a consistent team. Since Xavi's main goal at the moment is to stabilize the team and qualify for the Champions League, I would say Xavi has been successful so far. The team's performance has improved, now they can beat any strong opponent in the future only if they can maintain the continuity.
The Barcelona attack is looking good and in shape together with the defense but I do not think the midfield is there yet, telling from their last match against Atletico Madrid. The Barcelona midfield wasn’t really working, it was almost from defense to attract and since there is a lot of pace and strength in the team they found the net easily. There is still a lot of work for Xavi to do and I wish him all the best of luck. |

It's now certain that Manchester United won't be able to qualify for the championship League. This is a big blow for them, not to win Burney that is at the 20th position of the premier league table. This shows how terrible their pattern of football is.
Football is unpredictable but not to this type of extent of drawing a match that you are supposed to win comfortably
Is everyone still dreaming of expecting Man United to win? with their performance getting worse and the players getting older the players no longer look competent in building dangerous attacks. There is nothing to be afraid of even for a weak club when facing the current Man United. Not too much of a threat, in fact, it has become a boring spectacle lately. Ralf Rangnick started with Gengen pressing hoping to press like Klopp's Liverpool but it gives too much room for opponent teams to play because they don’t have the quality of defenders to cover up if the transition doesn’t go far, perhaps that's one of the reasons they're not successfully engaged. Moreover, this team is yet to find a suitable structure and finally but not least is that when Manchester United play without Ronaldo they more consistent in setting up attacks because a player like Bruno Fernandes is more free to pick any other player to pass to rather than deeply focusing on his country man and ignore all of the others that so many times are better positioned and just need a pass. Ralf needs to quickly restructure the team and spread out options if not they won’t make the UCL. In as much as C. Ronaldo is loved by the red devils, it is advisable that ragnick take a time out with him for the moment. We all know the team was practically soaring with Bruno Fernandes lead before their star man arrival back to the club. One may say Ronaldo arrival dampens the prowess and abilities of certain playmaker as they are more interested in getting the ball across to him rather than playing as a team for a win. So it is left for the coacjto make a call and structure the team in such a way that Ronaldo absence or present will not affect Manchester United style of play to win |

Many doubted whether Torres and Aubameyang would be able to adapt to Barcelona. Because the style and tactics of the Premier League and La Liga are completely different. So many people thought it would take a long time for these two players to adapt to Barcelona. But Xavi has done his duty properly. With his help, Torres and Aubameyang were able to adapt easily to the Barcelona team.
When you are a striker you have almost just one job, to score goals and once you can do that you have no business with critics. Both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and ferran Torres are good strikers and I really like how xavi is trying to build this Barcelona team by combining good experienced players and some young talents. |

I am happy that Senegal won the African Nations cup. Egypt, Ghana nd Nigeria have won the African Nations cup the most. I really wanted a new face to win the cup this time around. Since the super eagles flew away from the tournament I had my eyes on Senegal for the trophy. And they won! I watched a video of the national team returning home, the place was crowded with fans singing and dancing. God I love football

Newcastle defeated Everton as I was waiting for them to do so. Getting a 3-1 win must be very satisfying for them while they are in the competition to stay in the Premier League at the end of the season. Newcastle have made some transfers in the winter transfer window and we will see if these players will have a big impact on their resistance. Newcastle are definitely capable of doing this. They just need a little consistency and even that would be enough for them to do so.
Slowly but surely they are now out of the relegation zone  The match was quite good and the strategy applied was also quite good for Newcastle in this match because even though they were attacked and bombed, I think their quick counter-attack and accuracy in reading the opponent's movements are quite good, I think. But there are some more problems that they haven't solved here, namely they have to strengthen their midfield because even if they won against Everton in this match but they were quite overwhelmed in midfield, I think they will definitely be able to change that especially with the power of the money. there is now I can rightly say the January transfer window paid off greatly for newcastle football club with the likes of Tripper and others been in the team has amplified the team performance which was evident against Everton yesterday. Hopefully with this new pace I believe they will be a team to reckon with going forward but they still have some work to do with their midfielders and defenders if both are strengthen they we might be seeing a new and vibrant team displaying their qualities at St James Park stadium |

The current Manchester United team players need to Brace up themselves lest they file up for Europa place next season, despite having Christiano Ronaldo as a front liner in pushing and motivating the team to bring back the old glory days, it is imperative to know that it is never a one man show, every players from the defence line and mild field port need to understand that every game matters and mistakes are liable to cause them their place as a champions league contender and possibly Top four position.

Real Madrid and PSG are in good forms, they are both top of their domestic leagues respectively and from their head to head stats they have met 9 times with Real Madrid winning 5 of those 2 draws and PSG winning just 2, Real Madrid have the upper hand when it comes to head to head meetings and judging from their current forms they are both on the same level. So I think the best team and who wants it more should win, we might see some moments of brilliance form some good individual players as well.

I avoided betting on Man Utd i said that a few weeks ago that i wouldnt be betting on them anymore and its a good thing i didnt. They are just bad and cannot win some games in a row. I dont think they will be in top 4 positions for the champions league this year. Also tonights matches look really intrested to make a nice parlay with all the favorites in it.
I warned that the odds for Manchester United are too low, and Burnley will not let them win this match so easily. Manchester United didn't play bad but Burnley are like a cornered animal right now, they need to get points in every game to stay in the Premier League. I still think that Rangnick is a bad option for Manchester United, I even liked Solskjaer more. Manchester United also needed every point. United desperately needed a win to revive the confidence in their fans and they blew it. They had a golden opportunity to turn the tide but they ruined it. Christaino Ronaldo must be having second thoughts about ending his career in Manchester United. A losing streak is not how the G.O.A.T would want his incredible record to end. |

I must congratulate both teams for how far they came, I didn’t see it coming at the start of the tournament. When the competition started I was thinking maybe Nigeria or Cameroon because they looked more dangerous during the group stage of the AFCON. Sadio Mane missing a penalty at the 7th minute changed the game entirely and and both team really played well and tried to win it, both defenses and keepers were incredibly and Senegal were the better side as we’d have expected because Egypt have been playing defensively in previous games. Sadio Mane gave it all in this competition and I think he deserves to win.

Being in 5th position with a difference of 1 point, of course, it would be ideal if it really can give satisfactory results, at least Xavi targets 2 points without replying already to have a seat in 4th position. This match is a betting match for both clubs by showing their respective aggressiveness. If the score draws Atletico position remains safe. If Barcelona is able to score 2 points then it becomes a provision that can be bet later in the next match.
Camp Nou can be quite scary for some clubs and playing at home is sure to boost their confidence especially with some of their initial retainers who are expected to play in this match. On the other hand, Atletico is still lacking in finishing, after Suarez recovered from his injury he still hasn't been able to maximize his performance so far and of course their goal productivity has been hampered by this. Judging from the team's performance, it's actually still pretty much the same I think and the results of the 3 matches they played were very similar in the final results. I still feel this match will end in a draw Atletico Madrid has been really lacking in winning games lately, we can understand the present Barcelona’s form right now because of the financial crises they are facing, some injured players, and the manager lacks experience. But Atletico performance has been bad this season, too many draws and careless losses. Hopefully both teams can bounce back in the remaining matches. |

Judging by yesterday's match, the absence of Benzema can still have a strong impact on Real Madrid. Of course, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League are different competitions with different motivations, but Benzema is a super player (according to Ronaldo top 1 now) and his absence is very important. As for Neymar, he will miss the first leg - won't he? Messi is not dangerous. Mbappe is dangerous, but I hope Real Madrid's defense can handle him.
The champions league is always something to look out for, always. I think the Real Madrid coach made some changes in yesterdays game and he knew it was risky and might not pay off and it didn’t, but it is football and you can’t win all the time. More focus on the domestic and champions league for Real Madrid now, and considering the caliber of players that both team possesses we should be expecting a good first leg match, the magic of L. Messi and the speed of mbappe in psg attach should be a concern for Real Madrid and both team defenders should be really ready cause both side have dangerous attackers that can cause problems and create goal opportunities. So I think we might wittiness matches in both legs where both teams will score. I wonder from what year you wrote this message? I haven't seen any magic from Messi either this year or last. As for the teams, they will play the first match in suboptimal lineups and suboptimal form. For one of the teams, this will be fatal - as one team will go further, and the second, which also planned the peak of form for the later stages of the Champions League, will leave the tournament. I agree, Messi’s magic seems to have disappeared since he came to Paris I read somewhere that Messi is not yet fully ready due to health problems, that he is unhappy in Paris, has no friends, doesn't know the language, that he uses every opportunity to visit Barcelona etc. It seems to me that Real is a more complete team than PSG and has a better chance of winning. PSG have too many stars in the team, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, who think they are bigger than the team, don't like to help teams in defense etc. Against weaker teams this is not a problem but against top teams like Manchester City or Real, it is a serious problem in the game. After spending your whole life in one place and relocating to is different place it wouldn’t be easy to adapt and I am sure that is an hindrance for Messi right now, he hasn’t played for any club other than Barcelona. L. Messi hasn’t been used to the culture, food, language and living in France yet. But I believe Messi is a Barcelona player and he shouldn’t have left. With all the star players in PSG I still don’t believe they can win against Real Madrid. Real Madrid is a far better team to me, they can spread the ball to each teammate better. Real beating PSG wouldn’t be an easy task at all. |

Oh, it's just not leaking out and the team's results seem to be getting better lately. Mourinho is a great motivator and has achieved a lot in football thanks to this, but at the same time he is quite toxic when the team does not succeed and this has been manifested more often lately.
Mourinho is good to boost his players to their limits. Positively, it brings very good results and bring titles when players put their best efforts to play for the club and for themselves with their ego triggered by Mourinho. Negatively, it causes serious conflicts among Mourinho and his players that lead to another serious issues for all: players have worse performance than they usually have, Mourinho lose control, club have very bad results in long run. In the end, Mourinho will get sacked because nowadays, club will not sacrifice star players just to protect a coach. I like Mourinho, when he was in Manchester United, his first few season were okay but later on became a disaster and I think that is because most opposition clubs get used to Mourinho’s tactics and reads his game easily, and that leave in putting his whole team in a defensive line and wait for a counter, nobody plays football like that anymore. I am sure if he fails to be productive at Roma he might be sacked as well. |

Ronaldo has been really good for Manchester United since joining them and for me it has just been him and David de gea who has been outstanding for the team this season. Manchester United dominated last night game as we expected but the defense came short as always and the goal they conceded came too easy. We cannot really blame Ronaldo for the penalty missed but he should have scored or Bruno should have scored the empty post instead. It was really an unlucky night for Manchester United. Better hope next time for them.
There are problems with Manchester United's game strategy. Their formation should be changed. Moreover, Manchester United's defense is now very weak. Defender is performing poorly in every match as usual. Only experienced goalkeeper De Gea can save them from conceding more goals. They have conceded 30 goals in 22 Premier League matches. This is too much. Manchester United's performance will not improve if the defense is not strong. Maybe a change of manager will be the solution because the current Manchester United cannot win the EPL or the champions league so there is no medal for them this season. See the game last night, very frustrating and tiring, Bruno missing an empty net and Rashford not even being clinical enough, and even Ronaldo of all people missing a penalty, Manchester United wasted too many chances to kill the game in regular time and they had to pay for it at the end. |

The result of the penalty kick is quite surprising. Man United are really unreliable and they have had to suffer an unexpected result. I think it's a tough task to change coaches and it doesn't result in a match. So it becomes a big question whether Man United is no longer productive? while every result always convinces them to win. When viewed against Middlesbrough was very far from the initial target. Now the final result is a crushing blow.
Ronaldo or all players can not have 100% success rate on penalty shot so don't attack him because of one missed penalty. To be fair for Ronaldo, he is one of best players for Manchester United, in general and on penalty shot in particular. Even if Ronaldo is 5 years old younger, Manchester United can not rely on him to get success and end their crisis. Bruno Fernandez 3 seasons ago, brought some positive effects when he joined Old Trafford but now let's see he can not able to maintain it. It can be because his performance is worse or problems in the club are more seriously. Ronaldo has been really good for Manchester United since joining them and for me it has just been him and David de gea who has been outstanding for the team this season. Manchester United dominated last night game as we expected but the defense came short as always and the goal they conceded came too easy. We cannot really blame Ronaldo for the penalty missed but he should have scored or Bruno should have scored the empty post instead. It was really an unlucky night for Manchester United. Better hope next time for them. |

At the moment Manchester United's productivity has been reduced and they are always in trouble at the moment creating goals, both their opponents at high and low levels as happened in last night's FA Cup match unwanted results happened and this is a very painful defeat, I think this is the influence of the coach who has not been able to implement a strategy that is suitable for the Manchester United squad, And for the next game they must be able to rise so that the victory will be achieved again. Manchester United started the season with poor performance. We though their previous Coach Ole wasn't doing a great job on the team, which resulted to him getting sacked. However, a new Coach was sign, but their performance haven't improved that much. They are still struggling to win their matches. While, Despite playing with their first 11 players last night against Middlesbrough, they still wouldn't win. However, United dominated the game, they had a total of 9 shot on target. But, they ended draw and lost In the penalty. It was indeed a surprising score. Manchester United have no chance in getting any trophy this season, the champions league is the only external competition they are in apart from the normal league. It is a very difficult time being a Manchester United fan right now, almost nothing to write home about for the team. Ronaldo missing such a crucial penalty is unbelievable. The whole team is flopping really bad |

In the end, Mourinho will get sacked because nowadays, club will not sacrifice star players just to protect a coach. This is the reverse side of the coin of the phenomenon of such coaches as Mourinho or Conte, when specialists shake up the team in the shortest possible time and force them to show much better results, but this lasts for a maximum of several seasons and then the specialist is forced to leave, heating up relations with the team and its management to the point of impossibility.
Mourinho, Conte and Simeone are similar coaches with their defense, counter attack tactics and their psychological approach for their players. You are right, there are adverse effects of the approach and both Mourinho and Conte already got sacked a few times. Only Simeone has gotten full support from Athletico Madrid and has a safe coach position in the club so far. Jose is known for being strict when it comes to team management, he doesn’t condole any form of weakness or ego. Mourinho is a very productive and professional coach when his players abide by his rules but most times in recent years his tactics doesn’t pay off and most times when things aren’t going well the players gets frustrated and they wouldn’t want to play for Jose Mourinho anymore. There is always a clash of ego between the coach and players. |

Liverpool is a successful team this year, playing well in the league. But Inter is no different too. I think it will be a fun match to watch, I recommend everyone to watch it. It is difficult to know who will win this match, although it is said to be better for Liverpool, I think Inter's chances are also very high. In this match, we can see a result like a draw or Inter's win  Inter vs Liverpool should definitely be interesting, but I am betting on Liverpool to advance to the next round, they are a better side I think and Liverpool have a more stronger squad. Considering from their head to head both teams have met twice and Liverpool have won both matches why inter ended up with a red card in each matches. But since both Mo Salah and S. Mane have been away for international duty for a while now and they have played every matches fatigue might come in and both are key players for Liverpool. It is not going to be an easy game for both team. |

Barcelona are presently in crisis financially but I think they are coming out gradually and as for me I just feel they are heading in the right direction tactically based on the players they have brought in recently. I respect how Barcelona are taking things now, slow and steady and not mounting pressure on anyone, they are trying to build the team and start all over again and that is no bad idea to me it is just how long it will take that matters because they need to be more productive and so they can earn more and try to stabilize their current financial situation. And the players should play like they really want to and respect the name of the club because players these days are just after the money and not the glory.
