Newcastle are preparing a contract offer worth £200,000 a week for Bruno Guimaraes.

As there has been some interest by Real Madrid recently Newcastle don't want to lose him. This would be a pretty solid contract for him to be honest and he is already playing in the starting eleven regularly as well. Real Madrid are one of the biggest teams in the world of course. It's like many players dream of playing for Real Madrid some day. However he should take another fact into account that he might not find this many chances in the starting eleven there. If he is still eager to sign for Real Madrid then it is difficult for Newcastle to convince him to stay.

I have a big respect for the people who bet on Liverpool to win today.    Because it was really like Manchester City were a few steps ahead of them before this match. Liverpool were still struggling with serious defense problems and Manchester City were showing an incredible offense performance at the same time. I thought like there was no way Liverpool were going to stop Haaland.

However they really did and won by 1-0. Manchester City had a disallowed goal before Liverpool's goal due to foul as well. If Haaland didn't make a foul then things might have been much more interesting. Salah was really passionate in this match and he was the hero of the match. My prediction was a 3-1 Manchester City win by the way and it failed hard.  

We have left half an hour in the Athletic Bilbao - Atletico Madrid match. So far there has been a balanced game. Atletico Madrid have a disallowed goal so far. By the way I believe that they have a really difficult job here. Because there is a significant increase in Athletic Bilbao's performance this season. They are one of the best home teams considering their matches so far. I think that this match is likely to end up with a draw and both teams will score as well. My expectation is like a 1-1 draw.

In addition to that Atletico Madrid are playing different in the La Liga comparing to the Champions League. They are better in the La Liga but even this might not be helpful for them to get a win in this tough match.

Galatasaray were doing well actually but everything started to change by the Adana Demirspor match. They got a draw there and faced Kayserispor this time. Icardi was in the starting eleven which must have been really exciting for their fans to see. But he couldn't score a goal. Kayserispor shocked them by getting 2-0 ahead in the first half already. Even though Galatasaray had the most ball possession it wasn't reflecting on the score.

There was some improvement in the second half but still Galatasaray had a big difficulty in scoring even one goal. There was a goal disallowed in the first minutes of this half actually. If it ended up with a goal then maybe they would have a longer time to find the equalizer.

I've ended the day with 2.5 points as it seems. I was expecting Leicester and Fulham both to win but they both got a draw. It was a really unfortunate result for Leicester by the way because they were much better playing side against Crystal Palace. I've seen them this much strong in defense second time in this season but this was one of the rare matches that they couldn't score a goal either.

I expected a more comfortable win for Wolves and predicted 3-0 for that. However they got stuck at 1-0. Tottenham - Everton was the closest match that I was going to predict the exact score as mine was 3-1. Tottenham showed a really good level of performance and finished off their opponent easily. If Everton were able to score maybe my prediction would come true as well.

ESL Challenger is going on at full speed.

So far MOUZ and ENCE have made solid starts by 2 wins. We are just waiting for the second teams of the groups to be determined by the matches today. There is already a match going on between Eternal Fire and Nixuh. This is an important matchup for both sides as the loser is eliminated in the tournament immediately. The first map was Inferno and Eternal Fire had a really big difficulty in defeating Nixuh by 19-17 there. Actually there is a big power gap between these teams but mental issues still exist for Eternal Fire players. It was another match that XANTARES had a big role in getting the win.

Now we are on Vertigo and they have started great by a 6-0 score. Actually they captured a similar advantage in mid-game on Inferno but let it slip through their fingers easily. I don't expect the same thing to happen this time. In case they win this series, their most important matchup is going to be against Movistar Riders. The winner of that is going to qualify for the semi-finals.

Juventus are in a really bad condition in the Champions League and the Benfica match up next is going to be their silver lining. If they somehow manage to beat Benfica in Portugal the point gap will be only 2. But there is going to be only one match left at the same time. Let's say Juventus beat PSG in Turin, I don't know if Benfica would lose points against Maccabi Haifa. Benfica's match is going to be away against them but in this case Maccabi Haifa won't have any chance left for the Europa League from a realistic point of view. So they wouldn't make big difficulties for Benfica I mean.

Juventus will even need to get better than Benfica in head-to-heads as well so it is a very difficult job to do. We'll see them in the Europa League most probably. Besides I don't think that there would be such thing like they wouldn't care about the Europa League unless they improve their form in the Serie A and enter top 4.

Like it is the same for most people, Binance is the most used exchange for me as well. Because of that, it is very good to be able to use BNB and BUSD. If I calculate the amount I've paid for fees for years I'm sure that it'd demoralize me. I made deposit and withdrawal transactions with BUSD on Sportsbet.io. They are lasting less than a minute. I'm sure that it will be as quick as that on Bitcasino as well.

By the way I have heard that Toto Wolff is planning to exceed the budget by the same amount next season. He is just waiting for Red Bull's punishment to become official. If the punishment is only a monetary fine then Mercedes are also going to do the same. Because they are also one of the richest teams and this kind of a punishment wouldn't harm them at all.

To be honest, I believe this is clever of him. They are already angry with FIA for letting Red Bull get away with this and they want to play the game by the rules from now on. If they follow in the footsteps of Red Bull then maybe they could become more advantageous next season.

I respect the opinions of all people about the El Clasico.

However I think that this won't be an easy matchup for any side. Real Madrid are indeed more solid than Barcelona when we take the La Liga and Champions League both into account. Barcelona are very close to be eliminated in the Champions League I'm afraid. But their performance in the La Liga hasn't seemed to be affected so far. While they were getting poor results in the Champions League they were still playing really good here in this league. Therefore I expect them to prepare well for the El Clasico as well. I've never cared about what stadium this match is played in. Because both of them defeated each other away many times before.

I expect each team to score at least one goal in this one but I'm still indecisive about what the final result would be. But I feel myself closer to a Barcelona victory for now.

It looks like Red Bull will just be "lucky" about not getting any serious punishment for their exceeding the budget. This is really ridiculous. I don't know if blocking them from winning the championship is an option in the rule book. Maybe it would be too much to wait for I don't know. But some of their points could have been deleted for example. This might have heated up the title rivalry once again but they are just going to get away with this.

FIA are causing people to lose their belief in them quite sharply. First the unbelievable ending in the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP. There was a huge mistake there but it looks like they haven't learned their lesson at all. People will continue to criticize them until something starts to change. FIA are doing nothing more than harming F1 these days.

How come Kane is a lazy striker?

He is one of the best complete centre-forwards I've seen in the recent years. This is the reason why Bayern Munich have been targeting him first to fill Lewandowski's place in the team. Because Lewandowski was also that kind of a striker and they don't want to change their tactics by signing a completely different striker. Kane has made so many assists so far beside scoring so many goals. I remember very classy assists of him. He isn't a striker who just waits in the attacking line for the ball to come to him and tries to finish it up with a goal by as less touch as possible.

Xavi would stay at Barcelona for a long time as long as he makes the team champions in the La Liga in the worst case. Barcelona management would expect some success in the Champions League as well but they aren't making this happen this season as it seems. They need some kind of a miracle to qualify from the group now. Inter would definitely finish off Plzen and guarantee advancing to next stage.

It has been all about the choices indeed. Xavi could have made better choices for the midfield indeed. Players like Gavi and Pedri are of course very talented and promising. But if you have more experienced players you should prioritize them in Champions League matches. This makes you get closer to wins in the biggest arena in football.

Manchester United had a really awkward match. They were in control from the beginning to the end as expected. However the winning goal came by McTominay barely in the stoppage time. I know that this is the Europa League and it isn't the most important target for them at the moment. But this statistics was still worrying to me as they had like 33 shots and 12 of them were on target. Ronaldo was in the starting eleven again in a Europa League match. I hope to see him like this in the Premier League as well otherwise we can't see a better performing Ronaldo anymore.

Now they have consolidated their place very much and they would focus on the Premier League matches more than before.

Mason Mount has two years left on his contract and Chelsea have started worrying about it. They are preparing a new contract to offer him now. I don't think that Mount will reject a reasonable contract as he has been playing regularly and showing a good level of performance - 5 assists in 12 matches.

He has been one of the crucial players for Chelsea in the attacking line. He is a versatile player as he can play in many positions as well. It isn't easy to keep a special player like him so Chelsea had better finish the contract talks successfully before the upcoming transfer window to fend off any probable interest in him.

Salah showed an incredible performance after entering the match in the 68th minute. He made a hat-trick in only six minutes. Can you imagine this?  

After being criticised for a long time I think that this was a strong answer. However he still needs to be consistent for Liverpool to be more successful. This 7-1 win will hopefully be very motivating for them to be more solid but I don't know. Because it didn't happen before when they demolished Bournemouth as well.

As for Barcelona - Inter, the match was incredible. Inter did a great job there by getting ahead two times in Camp Nou. It was really interesting to see Barcelona struggling this much again. This 3-3 result might cost them the Champions League. Barcelona have no choice other than winning their remaining matches.

I saw while thinking of depositing money that sportsbet.io added BUSD among the deposit options. As a person who usually uses Binance exchange, it's become very good for me to be able to deposit money with 0 fee from now on.
