In fact, yesterday against Celta Barcelona almost ended in a draw again but luckily Lewandowski saved Barcelona win in extra time.
that's not the Barcelona that I know and if Barcelona performance is like this, it makes Xavi as the Barcelona coach feel frustrated because he has to play matches in the UCL but the defense players experience a very deep decline in their performance.
Everyone knows that this season Barcelona is not the team with the best defense. They are 100% different compared to last season where they only conceded 20 goals in 38 matches throughout the season, but this season Barcelona have conceded 34 goals in just 25 matches. Of course, these statistics prove that Barcelona's defense is in trouble, Xavi has no solution to fix it because his financial condition is not good.

Barcelona certainly have some good defenders in their team, but they have never been consistent due to injuries. Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Balde, Joao Cancelo, Martinez, Cubrasi are defensive players, but they are inconsistent with their performance, especially when several of them are injured, including Ter Stegen.

I wouldn't say that Barcelona have no problems, but they are really good at scoring and scored only one goal less than Real - 52 goals, but Barcelona's defense is extremely mediocre, if not bad, because they conceded 2 times more than Real - 34 goals, while Real conceded only 16. Even Girona conceded less -29 goals.
That's right, Barcelona's goal record so far is not much different from Real Madrid, Barcelona even has the same goal record as Girona. This means that Barcelona's attacking performance this season is fine and they only seem to have problems in defense. Barcelona is not strong defensively this season and conceded almost twice as many goals as last season.

Basically, the current goal records of the top 4 teams are not much different, they have scored 50 to 53 goals in 25 matches, except for Girona with 52 goals in 24 matches. Of course, the goal records of the top four teams will increase as the season progresses, but among the four teams, only Barcelona has a weaker defense.

Carvajal can't control his emotion at the end of game. He was doing stupid thing then got a red card. I think that ancellotti needs speak to him regarding this problem. He will be missing at least two matches and this is a big lose for the club. Madrid lost points and player. It's not even worthy enough.
This is another bad result. We can't resist from the result of this match was affecting so many bettors. Im sure that majority of bettors were picking madrid won. Unbelievable to see that madrid faces difficulty to score against rayo. Rayo's low block was very useful in preveiting real madrid's player to explore any possibilities to score.
Ancelotti needs to be aware if bellingham can sometimes played very important roles when it faces a defensive club like this. It's really unacceptable result for me to see that. Real madrid deserves three points from this match.
It's hard to believe rayo has forced madrid to get draw and this is really painful for whole of madrid fans. It's very bad for the team coz girona will cut the gap soon.
Don't worry, this is only the second draw in the last 3 matches. Not too bad considering the points gap with competitors is still very large. Girona and Real Madrid have a gap of 6 points, maybe only 3 points will remain if Girona wins against Bilbao. I'm not worried about that because Real Madrid is still leading, it's just that Ancelotti needs to improve the consistency of the team's play when an important player like Bellingham is injured.

In the end, Manchester City got 1 point from the match. Rodri Hernandez's goal drew the match 1-1.
Manchester City players dominated the match and there is no doubt that City played very well. A lot of attacks have been managed by City players. But the performance of Chelsea's defenders surprised me today. I haven't seen such a composed performance from Chelsea's defense in a long time. Chelsea's overall gameplay has improved. The bonding between the Chelsea players is also very strong now. For this reason, even after performing well, Manchester City players are not able to score more than one goal.
Chelsea improved in defense in this match and they were very good at closing down space in their defense. Manchester City dominated the attack and they made 31 shots, but unfortunately only 5 shots were on target. Haaland failed to take advantage of several opportunities, but this may not have been his luck. Basically, Manchester City deserves to win their home games rather than lose points, but Pochettini has so far succeeded in stopping Manchester City in two matches which ended 4-4 and 1-1.

As a result, Liverpool and Arsenal were ultimately happy because of this result. They hoped that Chelsea could help and finally this wish came true. Pep Guardiola doesn't seem to have any other options on the left wing other than just relying on Doku, he held the ball for too long without increasing many opportunities from his individual skills.

Barcelona kept Celta Vigo under pressure with 68 percent of the ball possession in the match, but even in the 37 minutes of the game, Barcelona still could not use any shots. Barcelona is a stronger team than Celta Vigo so it is natural that Barcelona will put Celta Vigo under pressure. But in this match, both teams are trying hard to use shots. Barcelona have chances in this match though. Still I think it won't be an easy win for Barcelona. Again, Celta Vigo could have a chance of a draw if they compete as hard as they do. Let's see how the match ends
Celta Vigo performed well in this match, they played better and tended to be dangerous in the second half. Of course, Barcelona continued to try to score goals after Iago Aspas equalized, but their hard work has so far been unsuccessful. For this time, the score is still tied at 1-1, but it's not over yet.

Barcelona still has a chance to win this match if they don't lose enthusiasm, but they have to be careful because Celta Vigo really doesn't want to lose at home. There is still a lot of time to wait to see who wins this match, but Celta Vigo is more likely to get 1 point instead of losing.

Yes, is as if Chelsea had a different spirit today against Manchester City, maybe it's because it's a big game so they need to prove themselves, However Chelsea have been  able to destabilize Manchester City attacking Force this evening at least for these first half. The goal would have been more than one goal for this first half if not for the chances Chelsea missed. One thing I notice about Manchester City is that, once they are under pressure they find it difficult to compose themselves and do all those their magic that they normally do. Chelsea should try and maintain the tempo during the second half, because Manchester city would like to give a serious fight.
Chelsea is strange, they play well against big teams, but they are too weak against lower teams. If they manage to beat Manchester City today, it would be a big surprise as Chelsea are not favorites to win. Chelsea have played well in defense so far and they haven't made a mistake, but Manchester City looks like they will score if they keep pressing.

Chelsea's game strategy so far has been very effective, especially when defending and also in building attacks. Chelsea took advantage of its chances despite tending to defend, but I believe such a strategy ultimately only allows for a higher chance of a draw rather than a win.

Villarreal won against Barcelona in their last meet, it's not mean they will against Getafe, they only have a slim chance of winning the match. Everyone knows how Barcelona has performed this season. Barcelona is a very powerful squad, currently now their in third place in the table, where by Villarreal are still managing the thirteenth place. From the point, it is clear that they outperformed Villarreal. But since some people claim that Villarreal are also good, let's see what happens tonight because they have a match against Getafe, but I'm quite confident that they will beat Villarreal, because although that they are weak team and Getafe is playing well, their performance is very strong.

In my opinion, if Getafe maintains their consistency as they did in previous matches, they will easily win. And Villarreal will face a lot of pressure from them because, even they draw with Alaves, they not take advantage of the chance in their upcoming encounter. I doubt that Villarreal will find the match so difficult.
Villarreal only played well against Barcelona in their last 7 matches, and that was the only win they got from 7 matches and the rest were draws and losses. Villareal have been inconsistent and very inconsistent, even after winning 3-5 against Barcelona they had to get 2 draws against Alaves and Cadiz. There was a different motivation when they played Barcelona, ​​it was a kind of revenge or something.

For today's home match, Villarreal is also 0-1 behind Getafe. Villarreal are superior in game statistics, but they cannot score goals. There is a possibility of a goal in the second half, but Getafe has tended to be better than Villarreal this season. If Getafe scores a second goal in the second half, it is very possible for Villarreal to lose at home and not be able to recover.

In the last five matches, Lyon managed to win three matches and suffered two defeats. Nice statistics are almost the same as Lyon, they won two wins and one draw, the rest Nice lost. Lyon ambition to stay away from the relegation zone seems to be experiencing obstacles again, because overall Nice statistics are much better than Lyon. I think this match will end in a draw if you look at the percentages, but Lyon is lucky because they will act as hosts and will get full support from the fans. It is no longer possible for Nice to overtake PSG at the top of the standings, their current ambition is to maintain second place until the season ends.

Betting on this match is actually very risky and requires a lot of consideration, because both of their performances have been very unstable in the last five matches. Lyon is still trying its best to stay in Ligue 1, the difference in points from the relegation zone is still not completely safe, and one defeat could put them back in the red zone. I think with the remaining games Lyon can stay in Ligue 1 next season, a draw might be very fair for Lyon and Nice this time.
Nice has good game statistics, but so far Lyon has a 1-0 lead at home. Lyon closed the first half with a win, but I think both teams look like they can score and there is certainly a possibility of a draw at the end of the game.

In reality, Lyon have been slightly better than before and they have been looking to move away from the relegation zone. So far their efforts have paid off and Lyon is likely to return to the top 10 in the near future. Competition is becoming tighter in the top 10, this will be a tough challenge for Lyon, who has lost his best form this season. There is plenty of time to see changes in the second half of the season, Lyon are not the worst of course.

Gambling 100% of your salary is a way too much. You should only gamble less than 10% of your income monthly. Your friend has a huge gambling problem, he’s sunk $60k deep in the gambling pool and is desperately placing more bets in a ploy to recover his losses. He definitely cannot think straight when his motivation is to cover his losses, everyone knows that’s a recipe for disaster. It’s even more dangerous that he doesn’t know he has a gambling addiction. The first step to rehabilitation is to recognize the problem and willingness to seek professional help.
Never mind gambling, investing with 100% of your salary is considered unwise even though it is not bad. The gambling budget should be limited, this will prevent you from losing all your money. 10% of your salary seems fine for fun, but some heavy gamblers will spend 150% (the other 50% is loans) to fulfill their gambling desires.

Such a gambler deserves advice, especially if you are his friend. Some casinos have also warned their customers not to gamble beyond their financial limits. Gambling non-stop is not good gambling behavior, this habit must be reduced because it has a bad impact on finances and possibly also on their psychology.

In the match of PSG vs Real Sociedad team, Real Sociedad team did not score any goal. PSG team scored 2 goals to win the match. Before halftime, the players of both teams tried hard to score, but neither team could score any goal. After halftime, PSG team scored two goals.K.  Mbappe and B.  Two Barcola players scored in this match.
The match seemed interesting because PSG had difficulty scoring goals against Real Sociedad. PSG dominated the match, but poor finishing meant both teams played goalless in the first half. Mbappe scored the first goal and it really put pressure on Real Sociedad and the second goal came 12 minutes later by Barcola.

Luis Enrique is happy with this first leg win and he can really look at the second leg with high optimism. Real Sociedad will play at home in the second leg, but PSG have a good chance of qualifying after they have 2 goals in hand. It wasn't easy for Sociedad to beat PSG, but there was still a gap for Real Sociedad to score.

Fun is not in losing, fun is in the process and in winning.
It's a bit strange to say: I'm happy even if I lose a lot, unless the gambler is really looking for entertainment in gambling instead of money.

Have you played football? When you play football, you run, get exhausted but you still have fun, you have even more fun when you win the match but sometimes you lose too. Even if you are not a good player and you lose football matches frequently, that still doesn't make football annoying, it's still enjoyable. Gambling is like that, you can still get fun even if you lose but everything depends on you, you shouldn't lose more than what you can afford to lose. If your pocket doesn't give you the ability to gamble, then you can play with play money.
The average gambler never feels happy when he loses. They know losing and winning are part of the game, but most gamblers only feel happy when they win a bet. Maybe they feel fine when they lose, but chances are that the gambler is not the typical gambler who gambles for money. They are responsible gamblers and do not mind winning or losing.

I'm not sure someone who comes to a gambling platform with his hard-earned money of $1000 feels happy about losing after betting, maybe it would be worse and feel more angry if the money came from a loan or something like that.

Chelsea is used to losing almost every week, and playing against a big team like Manchester City, who are in top form, makes it difficult for Chelsea to win the game. Any match that Manchester City loses now will have an impact on their standings, even if they have played their outstanding games. Chelsea are very inconsistent, and you can't rely on them to deliver a good result against a big team like Manchester City. They change their style of play depending on the team they're playing against, but against Manchester City, I don't think they have a chance to draw or even win.
You shouldn't underestimate Chelsea like that even though Chelsea's performance has been inconsistent so far. Previously Manchester City really suffered from Chelsea when they forced Pep Guardiola's team to draw 4-4 at Stamford Bridge. Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer proved their class against their former team by scoring 1 goal each, so once again don't underestimate Chelsea.

I admit that Chelsea doesn't have a good chance of winning at the Etihad, but at least Chelsea has a way to make it difficult for Manchester City to win the match. City has a revenge mission and also has plans to take the top of the standings from Liverpool, but if Chelsea can stop it then Manchester City will have to work harder while hoping Liverpool will lose points.

We have seen PSG fail against Spanish teams in the past. Despite having a strong squad, they could not win against the Spanish team. However, this season's opponents, Real Sociedad, are a little less experienced and a little weaker than Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. This team plays a defensive strategy and usually tries to draw the matches this season. Sociedad does not have a strong attack. On the other hand, PSG's attack is quite strong this season with the help of Dembele, Mbappe and Ramos. And they have a fantastic coach like Luis Enrique. Enrique is an experienced coach on the Champions League platform. So it is expected that PSG will win today's match if they don't make any big mistakes.
You are right, Real Sociedad is not the same quality as Barcelona and Real Madrid. Real Sociedad certainly has experience and opportunities in the Champions League this season, but they are no better than PSG. Luis Enrique must avoid mistakes that have a negative impact on his team's chances, I mean they must be able to maximize this home game with a comfortable win.

Luis Enrique has experience in the Champions League with Barcelona and he has also won the title. But maybe it's a little different because this is his first season with PSG. He has great players in his squad, but PSG's defense tends to be problematic in many matches. The game has started, let's see what happens.

From onset after the draw of round of 16 was announced I already knew Man City has a brighter chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals at the expense of Copenhagen whose team I believe is a less formidable opponent it's like a walkover match for Man City thus I am not surprised that they defeated Copenhagen right at their home making the second leg to be easy match at Etihad with Man City having a two goals advantage over their rival, however Man City next fixture is against Chelsea this weekend I believe their  midweek win is a big boost and motivation to play Chelsea this weekend City who are also the league title contender would aim for a win.
Of course, Manchester City is one of the favorites to qualify for the quarter-finals. Copenhagen can't do much and will probably give up because the quality of the game and the depth of the squad are not up to par, but they should have fun in this round of 16 instead of feeling pressured. Even though in the end Copenhagen couldn't qualify, their journey this season in the Champions League is still worthy of appreciation.

Apart from Manchester City, I think Arsenal also has good potential to qualify for the quarter-finals. Both teams have performed well this season and both have matches that tend to be easy. Porto will not be able to make Arsenal fail to qualify for the quarter-finals, at least that's what I see after comparing the quality of the teams.

Real Madrid will be the club to win the trophy this season both in Laliga and UCL. Girona was like trying to be on the title race with them, but the last match between these two clubs, shows that Girona is in no match to compete with Real Madrid in the title race. However, Girona has put up a wonderful performance this season, and I hope to see them in the Champions League next season.

Girona might find it difficult to win Athletic Bilbao who are currently in a good form, and they have no respect for any club. I hope that Girona will try their possible best to see that they win Bilbao or else they will drop points again, which is not something good at this time of the league.
Regarding the La Liga title, FIX I agree, but regarding the Champions League title I am still pessimistic about this possibility.
Of course I don't doubt Real Madrid's ability and experience in the Champions League, but the competing teams seem to be as strong or maybe stronger than Real Madrid. There are several problems that are actually a bit risky in the Real Madrid squad, that is the defense even though so far they are the team with the best defense in La Liga.

Qualify to quarter-finals is a reasonable thing to hope for, but when it comes to the semi-finals and finals, it really depends on who the opponents are. I hope this season's journey isn't as tough as last season and Real Madrid have to avoid Manchester City or Bayern Munich, who probably have great potential to qualify for the semi-finals.

So Real Sociedad also wants to win in this match but a draw is more than enough.

Luis Enrique did set the strategy earlier where Mbappe had to be rested in his domestic league match but if we see some PSG players don't get any problems so we can say the players are still in good shape so when it becomes the first match for the last 16 then it feels important for PSG to win at home.

Maybe we can also conclude from Real Sociedad's away game which is not good, but I will not underestimate this team because however when playing in the champions league the appearance is always different but in theory then PSG is likely to win.

Real Sociedad betting market with odds of 5.00 but that's not a good opportunity for Sociedad to win.
Easy guess, PSG will win the home game and they will lock in a win that doesn't give them much risk in the second leg. Real Sociedad are dangerous, but not the kind of team that will stop PSG's Champions League plans this season. The probabilities show very different odds, so it is too risky to bet Real Sociedad to win this match.

However, PSG has an unpleasant record against Spanish teams, especially Real Madrid and Barcelona. Luis Enrique must find a solution so that the team he coaches can improve its bad record in the past, so winning is a plan that they must try to make a reality.

To be a successful investor you don't have to be in the same community, you don't even need to force someone to discuss their knowledge in forums if they are more comfortable with themselves. They can learn their way and we can't guarantee they will progress just because they are members of bitcointalk, so I don't mind how their mindset is shaped regardless of whether they are successful or not in the end.

Investors may have their own community which does not necessarily have many members. They can build small circles of people who share the same knowledge and have the same ideas and goals, so they may be more successful than people in large communities.

Gambling for money is wrong, but gambling for fun is more advisable.
If you are a typical gambler who gambles for money, then it is very possible for you to experience bad effects from gambling regardless of how well you admit that you gamble responsibly. You will lose and regret it, but if you change your mindset then you might never feel bad when you lose.

Of course I'm talking about personal experience rather than that of other gamblers. I never felt comfortable gambling for money, I mean I was always angry when I lost and maybe only slightly happy when I made a small profit. Change your mindset about gambling and make gambling just for fun, it is much better for protecting your psychology and also your finances.

The Napoli vs Barcelona match will be played next week and not this week so yes, at least there is still preparation for Napoli and Barcelona to be able to play with better preparation of course. But indeed, if we check the current available odds, at least Barcelona is not the favorite team in this match later. Because after all, based on the current odds are in the range of Napoli @ 2.50 and Barcelona @ 2.63 and yes, even though Barcelona has a better squad than Napoli but it does not seem to be a good guarantee for Barcelona at this moment. Because yes, Barcelona draw against Granada in last match in La Liga was also a very disappointing result and therefore, it looks like Barcelona are in a bad situation at this moment.
Basically Barcelona doesn't have a better squad than Napoli, they have no choice but to maximize some of their young talent. Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Pau Cubarsi, Fermin Lopez and Marc Guiu are some of the players I mean, so if you look at the depth of the squad then I believe Napoli will have an advantage.

Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde, Joao Cancelo, Christensen/Inigo Martinez and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are the best defensive options so far, but that doesn't guarantee they can defend well without conceding many goals. Xavi doesn't have a good right-back so far, Kounde who plays as a center-back often fills that position even though it's not too bad for him. Joao Felix did not play in the last match against Granada, neither did Araujo so he could most likely strengthen Barcelona in the first leg if his condition is better.

As good as the Real Madrid team is currently, I don't think a team like Leipzig will be able to stop Madrid's winning streak.

Real Madrid's players have played brilliantly in every match of the group stage. Madrid won all 6 matches. Real Madrid team won by dominating both matches against Napoli. And Ancelotti is very serious in Champions League matches. He will try his best this season to win the Champions League title. My prediction is Real Madrid will win both home and away matches against Leipzig to secure their quarter final ticket.
I hope that's true, but no one knows for sure whether Real Madrid can win the match, draw or lose. All of these possibilities exist and should not be ignored, but I don't think there is a big risk of defeat even if Real Madrid is without Jude Bellingham.

Vinicius is in good condition at the moment after recovering from injury. He is on fire and very difficult to stop, so I hope Vinicius can be the difference in this match and lead Real Madrid to win the first leg. It doesn't matter how many goals are scored, the most important thing is to get out from Germany with a win. 0 - 1, 0 - 2, 1 - 2, or 1 - 3 doesn't matter, winning is much more important.
