As for Lewandowski, he hasn't still proven himself with Barcelona jersey against big teams. He has always had problems on scoring goals against them. Teams like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are good examples for this.

For this reason, I will be curious about his performance against Manchester United as well. There is a long time until then so it is more than enough time for Lewandowski to focus on improving this weakness of him now. Barcelona need him in this kind of matches to be more successful. Of course he isn't the one to blame for their unsuccessful run in the Champions League. But he needs to contribute in some way in big matches too. If he plays strongly against Manchester United this would be a big advantage for Barcelona to reach next stage.

If I compare Eric Ten hag,  and Mikel Arteta's Success stories, both look closely similar. Ten hags and Arteta while losing were fully aware of what is wrong with the team and how to fix it, and within a short period they discovered a quick solution. For Ten Hag, he bought Casmero for the Dm and Ericson for the CM. For Arteta,  he bought Fabio Viera and Marquinhos who now adds the loose creativity to Arsenal Midfield today. But Graham potter doesn't know where to capitalize on Chelsea's problem and how to solve it. I'm still wondering why he's still given time.

Madrid vs Liverpool will be an interesting match. In the EPL, Liverpool have struggled this season. Meanwhile, Madrid is more consistent and is still in 2nd place in the standings. Klopp should be able to get points in this game. Because in Leg 2 it will be more difficult when they have to play in front of Real Madrid supporters. A score of 1-0 is not enough, Liverpool can at least win with a score of 2-0 at home, and play defensively when they are away to the Bernabeu.

I haven't watched the Bundesliga standing look like this since long time, knowing that Union Berlin could have taken the lead if they had won against Schalke. Unfortunately, Schalke forced them to an unexpected draw. The competitiveness in any league is fascinating and it can help draw the attention to this league. I hope we see similar standing at the end of the season, although I believe other teams are still far from Bayern Munich with regard to finance and performance.

It's not so difficult as long as liverpool can perform like when this club was winning EPL 2019-2020. There are so many matches to come. Liverpool can still have a chance to get at least another 40 points as long as liverpool can get clean sheets in any match. Competing top 4 looks a bit difficult but nothing impossible for liverpool now. Liverpool will be facing some big clubs at the end of this season. This gonna be the most difficult match to be won by liverpool. I expect liverpool may lose points in these matches.

Earning at least 30 points look possible until the end of season. 4th place is still make sense to be targeted by liverpool.

Xavi has improved Barcelona there is no doubt. I wonder why he is not getting credit for that, just that he is not lucky or he is not experienced in the Europe competitions. Apart from that Barcelona is doing well and this is seen as they are topping the laliga table with 8 points clear and I am hopeful that Barcelona will become the champions of Laliga but being able to beat Manchester United I'm old Trafford, I am not sure.

we can't just stay here and say Busquets tell is off, he's very important to Barcelona that's why they haven't been able sell him all these while, Xavi has known Busquets for years and I think he would like to keep him to build the younger generation for the club.

This is the type of Bundesliga table I am expecting to see because as we can see, the competition is becoming more interesting because Bayern Munich has clearly seen how so many teams are keen to overtake them and take the lead in the Bundesliga table.

Union Berlin was unlucky yesterday as they were held draw by Schalk04 which has stopped them from giving both Bayern and Dortmund a two points gap to lead the Bundesliga table, however, I am actually impressed with their performance because they actually tried as they were in the title race this season and I am confident they will make it to Champions League which I believe is their top priority.

Reportedly, Osimhen is already interested in Man Utd and Madrid, while Liverpool and Arsenal are already interested in Kvarat. What I'm afraid of is that when these 2 players are sold by Napoli, we will no longer see Napoli win Serie A or any other competition, while Napoli has been fasting for trophies for several years.

Brazil is always the best team, always in first place in the FIFA Ranking, only occasionally they go down, almost certainly they always play in the World Cup, have a lot of good player material with an average playing in the big leagues, but in some of the World Cups they are like stuck in the quarterfinals but the next World Cup will be held on the American continent so the teams from America have a good chance including Brazil

Manchester City's next match is against Leipzig. Leipzig is a relatively weaker team compared to Manchester City. So the possibility of Leipzig being eliminated in the round of 16 is very low. Moreover, Manchester City is in very good form right now. I would say Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid will be the favorites to win this season's Champions League.

Every team has a bad day so don't be surprised when in one match they lose even when fighting a weaker team  as happened to Arsenal and Manchester City
In this case I see Arsenal more fortunate they only lost the standings for a few days before taking over, but of course Arsenal cannot continue to depend on luck

There was no Saudi Arabian professional thread here. We didn't know well what football clubs in Saudi Arabia are. I deserve credit for opening this thread. But there is a lot of discussion going on in this thread now. Saudi clubs are the most talked about especially since Ronaldo arrived. But those who are not fans of Ronaldo never mind opening such threads. However, due to the opening of this thread, we are able to know all the information about the Saudi club and all the information about Ronaldo from here.

The score is now 3 -3 equal, I think the result will be a draw and it is also impossible that PSG will drop points in this game, there is only a little extra time left, I think it will last until the end of the game even though PSG only got 1 point

The second leg match between Manchester United and Barcelona is the match that will be the most eagerly awaited in my opinion. Because in the first leg match the two teams displayed an impressive game and it was a draw at the end of the match. They really present an interesting game to watch. Now Manchester United will be the hosts, and that will benefit them, because they will have full support. However, the outcome of the match will be very difficult to predict.

In less than 17 minutes of normal time, the match between Atalanta vs Lecce is coming to an end. The quick goal created by Assan Ceesay in the 4th minute could not be equalized by Atalanta until this second half. They dominated the game, but they were unable to penetrate the defense built by Lecce to score.
Oh crap, now Lecce can double their lead to 2 goals through Alexis Blin. I didn't think that Atalanta would be 2 goals behind, this made it difficult for them in the remaining matches.

Barcelona team is well focusing on la Liga while real Madrid seems very confused, I don't know if the player are thinking on something defferent or simply players preformence is not good and the team need new blood

Union vs Shalke will be a very important match for Union to be able to overtake Bayer Munchen so enthusiasm for Union is maintained to compete for the Bundesliga championship. And I hope Union Berlin can consistently get 3 points every week so that Bayern Munich can be pressured. I hope Union Berlin can be like Kaiserslautern in direct promotion to the Bundesliga champions, even though Union Berlin has been in the Bundesliga for 3 seasons.
