Arsenal will be playing against Wolves this weekend,and they will be looking forward to bouncing back from their back to back defeat at Both Emirates in the hands of Villa and the Allianz Arena at Bayern.Those two games where two important games the gunners needed to win to ensure they maintain the lead in the premier league,and as well be in the champions league competition,but they lost the two,and as it stance,there is now hope for the this season, except Mancity drops point,and they go on to win all the rest of their games,which is impossible because I think they have dropped in form recently,and also lacks the ability to finish when they've gotten good scoring chances.
Seriously Arsenal are beginning to piss me off because because of there carelessness we were kicked out of the Champions league and the Premier League, we can no longer archive our dream of winning the premier League. And that keep repeating we keep falling from the top. Gunners were unable to keep up with bayern and the game was actually important for the both of them and what annoyed me the most was the fact that the rest people were able to win there second leg but Arsenal was unable to win. It does not look like Manchester City will want to loose any point now so Arsenal really wasted lot of good opportunity. As it is we don't have a choice but to try again next time. I don't think there will be any trophy this time around possibly next season we are going to win something.
Arsenal's near success syndrome that always kicks in the last 10 weeks of every season they're doing exceptionally well have started again if you ask me and it might take them further few defeats before they can recover from their recent poor form. They've lost their last two games in all competitions and will be out of the race for the English Premier League title this season if they should lose this weekend. Mikel Arteta must do his best to bring back his team to their best again if he really wants them to keep fighting for the league title. They can't continue with their current performance unless they simply want to lose out from the league title chase

Bayern Munich's dream of bringing in its former coach, Julian Nagelsmann, seems to have disappeared considering that he has extended his contract with the German national team until 2026. This news has circulated widely and it seems that Bayern Munich has failed to convince Julian Nagelsmann. Surely this is the punishment that Bayern Munich must pay after firing him without reason last season when he managed Bayern Munich well.

Now Bayern Munich is definitely confused considering the season is coming to an end and they still haven't found a replacement coach for Tuchel and I think if Bayern Munich doesn't get a better coach then they won't be able to compete with Leverkusen who will still be managed by Leverkusen. It is very likely that Bayern Munich will not be able to stop Leverkusen's dominance in the Bundesliga and they must really do the right planning before that day arrives.
Nagelsman will coach Germany until 2026 and the contract extension received by Nagelsman is of course a form of trust of the German national team to Nagelsman, besides that I think Nagelsman did not have the intention to coach Bayern Munich after he was fired and made unemployed by Bayern Munich even though at that time Bayern Munich was still undergoing three competitions that Bayern Munich participated in,  But unfortunately Bayern Munich was too rash by sacking Nagelsman to be replaced by Tuchel who actually could not improve Bayern Munich's performance in the league this season, in my opinion Nagelsman is certainly hurt by Bayern Munich at this time so he rejected the offer to return to the Allianz Arena next season.

After losing Alonso and Nagelsman as targets for Bayern Munich next season, of course at this time Bayern Munich must be really selective and work hard to be able to find another coach who can indeed bring Munich back to compete in the Bundesliga next season, currently  there are only a few coaches available so surely Bayern Munich will have a little difficulty getting the right coach.

First it was Xabi Alonso on the front radar for who'll replace Thomas Tuchel when he leaves Bayern Munich at the end of the season but after the Spanish manager confirmed that he's going to remain at Bayer Leverkusen at least till the end of next season, Bayern Munich switched their interest to Germany national team coach Julian Nagelsmann. I know the Julian Nagelsmann deal isn't going to work because of the embarrassing manner at which Bayern Munich management sacked him from the club last season. Nagelsmann was sacked even when Bayern Munich was still in the UEFA Champions League competition as well as in the top of the German Bundesliga and replaced with the current manager. Bayern Munich should go and find another replacement for Thomas Tuchel because Nagelsmamm will continue to manage the German national team till 2026 summer

Obviusly Real Madrid is right now the main contender to the title but in this stances we can expect some shaking results also someones for PSG or Bayern side, they have the players to do that, but need the teamwork and recover the faith in themselves in the case of Bayern for example, and Tuchel knews this.
As a Real Madrid fan they've always been my favorite team to win the UEFA Champions League title this season and my belief was backed by the signing of Jude Bellingham which I think will bring solution to the problem of Real Madrid last season that they were embarrassingly eliminated from the competition by Manchester City. Now that they were able to eliminate Manchester City and progress to the semi finals of the competition, they'll have to beat Bayern Munich in a two legged tie to reach the final of the competition which I think is very possible but difficult as well.
Bayern Munich last weekend lost their German title defense as Bayer Leverkusen were crowned German champions for the first time in their history and that I think will make them put in their best energy to win the UCL this season. So for Real Madrid to reach the final they must be at their best

I thought Liverpool would have more goals but what we thought was wrong, the substitutions did not change the situation.
Atalanta just need to get past Marseille into the final, it's even I guess.
Yeah, we are have same expectations to see Liverpool can create at least  3 goals on this match to give them hope. but the only 1 goal from Liverpool can't change anything. Something bad look like happens to Liverpool  in the last 2 matches. They are favorite, but they are must be go out from UEL. Will see, maybe Atalanta come for title for the first time, or they are stopped. Their motivation maybe can bring them to the final. interesting match if UEL become all Italian final.
After Liverpool lost the first leg of their UEFA Europa League against Atalanta last week Thursday with a three goal margin, I knew they're definitely going to fight to come back in the second leg of the tie. However, I was also of the opinion that Atalanta will be solid enough to resist them from winning the tie at the end of the day. A friend of mine before the match staked that Atalanta will still beat Liverpool in the second leg but I told him not to waste his money and advised him to stake on Liverpool win or Atalanta to go through to the semi finals.
I strongly believe that Liverpool will win the the second leg at Atalanta but will not be able to win with a margin that'll guarantee them qualification to the next stage of the competition

It is quite risky to bet on Juventus' victory in this match because Juventus' very inconsistent performance and also Cagliari's quite good performance in the last few matches make the possibility of Cagliari being able to win this match in front of their own supporters much greater.
Each of us may have our own predictions by measuring the strength of the two teams from different points of view, and I think that's only natural.
Juventus are favorites in today's away game, even if you doubt their ability to win the game. Gambling is certainly risky, but Juventus is a better team than Cagliari, who is currently ranked 14th in the standings. Juventus, which is in 3rd place in the standings with a gap of 4 points from Bologna in 4th place, will try its best to maintain its position. Victory is clearly Juventus' target in this match, but you have to be wise enough to bet money on this match.

I don't hesitate to say that Juventus has a high chance of winning 3 points in their away match. This is the result of my brief analysis of today's match, but maybe the match did not go according to plan and in the end your worries came true.
Juventus I don't have any doubt is the favorite to win their Italian Serie A game away at Cagliari tonight because they've easily been the better team when compared to Cagliari as far as this season is concerned. Juventus started the season on a very good form and was even at the top of the Italian Serie A sometime in December but after a run of poor results, the Old Ladies of Turin now occupy the third position in the Italian Serie A standings.
Their recent poor results in the league is the reason why many people are of the opinion that Cagliari stands a good chance of getting a good result when they host Juventus tonight. In my own opinion, I think Juventus will get a good result in the game by either winning or drawing the game. If I'm to bet on the game, I'll go for a 2+ goals in the game

This week will be a very interesting week because this week we will witness the match between two eternal rivals, Real Madrid vs Barcelona. Yes, it is the El Clasico match that is awaited every season. This match is one of the biggest matches in La LIga, and always provides a very hot atmosphere when they meet.

Real Madrid is in very good condition after they successfully advanced to the semifinals of the Champions League after beating Manchester City. On the other hand, Barcelona is not in a good condition after they lost to Paris Saint Germain with a landslide score too.

This match will take place at Real Madrid's headquarters, Santiago Bernabeu. This is an advantage for them to play in front of their own supporters. Real Madrid is the favorite to win this match, but Barcelona still has a chance. I hope I can see a very hot game from these two teams.

In my personal view, it looks like Barcelona is still in a chaotic condition and or situation eventhough indeed, the fact Barcelona managedto be in second place in the La Liga standings now. But still, I think thequality of Barcelona at thismoment does not seem to be able to beat Real Madrid in the El Clasico match. Indeed, I also realize that when this El Clasico match takes place, of course any result is still possible to happen, whether Real Madrid wins or Barcelona wins or may also end in a draw.Butyes,basically Real Madrid still seems to have betterquality than Barcelona at this moment andthus, I personally still quite confident that Real Madrid will win in this el clasico match.
Barcelona defeat to Paris Saint Germaine on Tuesday that ensured their exit from the UEFA Champions League competition came as a huge shock to them as a club and because of the effects of the shock coupled with how they claimed the defeat was aided by the referees harsh decisions, I don't think they've fully recovered from the result of the game so I think it'll definitely affect them when they travel to the Santiago Bernabeu to face league leaders Real Madrid on Sunday.
Real Madrid on the other hand played over 120 minutes in their game against Manchester City on Wednesday but came out victorious in their own game and have progressed to the semi finals of the competition. Against Barcelona on Sunday, I expect Real Madrid to get all maximum three points from that game or at least get a draw. I don't think it'll be possible for Barcelona to get a draw in that game.

Your love for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola shouldn't block you from making proper analysis because that's all you're doing. They're always finding it difficult to beat Tottenham Hotspur and this is not something new, you can go do the checks yourself.
With the draw or should I say lose tonight, Manchester City would still go onto the next game and repeat the same results against Brighton.
Roberto De Zebri since he got knocked out of the UEFA European Europa League Competition has been poor but he would surely get a positive results against Manchester City.

Against all odds, I would still love to see Arsenal winning the Premier League Competition, it's not over as I still have faith that they could make and turn things around.
It has always been my plan for them to leave the Champions League Competition so they can focus on the Premier League Competition alone
I never thought that someone would deliberately leave the Champions League competition to be able to focus on the Premier League, that's not a logo in my opinion.
Arsenal is a team that doesn't have a good mentality, so when they are pressed, like at the end of the season, when the pressure is heavy, this team will lose concentration, which will have a negative impact on the team's performance.

I see that Man City and Tottenham are two very different teams now, regardless of what happened in the past, but in my opinion everything is different now and it must be admitted that this season Man City is much stronger so Man City's motivation is greater. To be able to win the Premier League title this season, I have no doubt that Man City will be able to beat Tottenham so that they can maintain their position at the top of the Premier League standings.
The UEFA Champions League is Europe's biggest and most prestigious club competition and every club in the continent will always prefer winning it than winning their domestic league so it's absolutely illogical for anyone to think that Arsenal decided to get eliminated from the UEFA Champions League because they want to focus on the English Premier League. Arsenal gave their best but unfortunately for them, their best wasn't just enough to help them progress to the next round of the competition and would now turn their full attention to the English Premier League.
The bad news for Arsenal is that English Premier League leaders Manchester City have also been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League competition which means that they'll still be very focused in making sure they win the league title this season
328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 18, 2024, 11:26:00 AM
I wasn't expecting both of them to be eliminated honestly. Instead my expectation was like they would advance but Real Madrid would stay out.  Grin  The quarter finals were really full of surprises.

Real Madrid are in comfortable condition in the La Liga now. The point gap with Barcelona is eight now and there is an El Clasico at Santiago Bernabeu in three days as well. If Real Madrid win this crucial game they are obviously the champions which is what I expect to happen. Even if it ends up with a draw they should still be okay with winning the title. Barcelona just woke up very late in the league and it is too difficult for them to re-enter the race.  Sad

You're right, I thought the same thing about Barcelona and Atletico, and was almost sure that City would be able to beat them. But it’s not for nothing that Real are leading in La Liga, they show that the team is now very strong and deserves the semi-finals of the Champions League and deserves to be the leader in La Liga.

For Barcelona, all that remains is to simply play out the remaining matches and wait for a change of coach, for Atletico, the task is a little more difficult, but now that they can fully concentrate on La Liga, I think that it will not be difficult for them to stay in the top 4. So unexpectedly, out of three Spanish teams, only one reached the semi-finals.
After the results of the first leg of the UEFA  Champions League quarter finals were played, two out of three Spanish teams were leading in their ties while tye other was only able to secure a home draw in their own tie. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid were the two teams that were leading in their ties and because of their results, many people fancied them to reach the semi finals of the competition by either winning the second leg their ties or ay least get a draw which at the end they weren't able to accomplish.
Real Madrid who will play at the home of the reigning champions of Europe Manchester City for the second leg of their tie were the least most expected Spanish team to progress to the semi finals according to bookmakers but surprisingly, they did beat Manchester City on penalties to progress to the semi finals while Barcelona and Atletico Madrid were ousted from the competition. Football is regarded as the best sport because of the surprises that comes with it and I'm very happy Real Madrid did go through to the semis
329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 17, 2024, 07:41:46 AM
Barcelona was eliminated, Atletico Madrid was eliminated, is it Real Madrid's turn? Dortmund played the most amazing game of this year. Atletico could do nothing but defend desperately. It was a deserved victory and a deserved victory. The Germans do this job great. If Bayern eliminates Arsenal, there may be two German finals.
I'm not talking about the club's that will make it to the finals. Let's focus on the present. Barcelona was home and also seen as an advantage to qualify but their outcome turned out to be against them. I think the referee, Istvan Kovacs was been faired towards both sides. Barcelona was leading, not until Araujo was issued a red card for tackling his opponent in the 18 yard box, it's been really a tough moment but the winning team will always prevail no matter what. The former and current Barcelona boss, Luis Enrique saw this epic comeback and grabbed it within his reach.
Luis Enrique is one of those who know the Spanish team best. Of course, this was an advantage for Paris Saint Germain. When Raphael scored the first goal, I thought things were over for PSG, but the changing game balance with a red card enabled PSG to pass the round. PSG advanced to the round and unfortunately Barcelona had to be eliminated with this defeat. In football, sometimes one mistake can destroy the entire team. Just like the red card that is deemed unnecessary.

Of a truth, I actually thought it is over for this psg side as Barcelona took the lead, but a quick turn of events change everything about the match, and into the favour of psg, though the Barcelona fan would be feeling hard done by the red card,  but to me it's deserving because he was the last man, but a big congrats to psg for qualifying for the semi final of the competition.

And as for atletico madrid, I just don't know what transpired behind closed doors that makes them performed so badly yesterday that got them eliminated, because after the first leg, everyone believe that they are going to progress to the next stage of the competition due to their record of having the ability to hold on to their leads, but that wasn't the case yesterday, and they paid for it dearly.
I also had the same opinion that since Barcelona were able to beat Paris Saint Germaine in the first leg at Parc des Princes, they'll definitely progress to the semi finals of the UEFA Champions League competition. My other reason why I thought Barcelona will win the tie was because they rarely lose home games in the competition and when they scored to first goal of the game to extend their aggregate lead to 4:2, I concluded that Paris Saint Germaine doesn't stand any chance of coming back into the game.
Ronald Araujo's 29th minute Red Card was what changed the game as Paris Saint Germaine saw it as a big chance to press for a win. Barcelona were lucky to finish the game with just 10 men if you ask me of their subsequent behavior after their defender was shown the red card. Their players lost their cool including the club manager Xavi Hernandez who was shown a red card in the game.

This was a very interesting week in the English Premier League. Both Arsenal and Liverpool actually lost. And that has made Manchester City become the first team on the table.  I knew if Manchester City was given a chance, they would take that chance very well. And how both Arsenal and Liverpool lost against relatively weaker opponents is really out of my understanding. Both of them shouldn’t have lost.

Actually, both of them should have at least gotten one point from these matches. I thought getting one point was going to be the worst-case scenario for them. But somehow they have ended up losing. And now they are going to pay for the mistake that they have made. Both Arsenal and Liverpool are on 71 points and Manchester City is leading them by two points. and don’t worry all three teams have played the same number of matches.
The result of the games involving the top three teams in the English Premier League over the weekend has been a surprise to many bit to Liverpool and Arsenal fans, it's been a shock that most of them are yet to recover from while to Manchester City fans, a result that they're very happy to witness because of the impact on their team's quest to win the English Premier League trophy for the fourth time in a row. After Manchester City defeated Luton Town to climb to the summit of the English Premier League table on Saturday, many people had expected Liverpool and Arsenal to follow suit by getting all three points from their games on Sunday but to the surprise of football fans across the globe, none of the two teams were able to get a draw in their games.
Now that Manchester City are leading the English Premier League standings, I think it'll be very difficult for any of Liverpool or Arsenal to get past them again and that's because Pep Guardiola's Manchester City over the years have shown that they're not the kind of team that'll relinquish their lead at the top of the league table when they have less than 7 matches to play. Liverpool and Arsenal still stands a chance because they're just two points behind Manchester City
331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 15, 2024, 05:49:42 PM
Their 3-2 defeat against Barcelona was also a great disappointment. Mbappe is the most valuable player of this team. After he leaves the team, Paris Saint Germain may have problems in the offensive line for a long time. The name Osimhen was being talked about instead, but I don't think he could be as successful as Mbappe. If PSG advances to the second leg in Spain this year, maybe they will play with more hope in the semi-finals.

I don’t think so and Mbappe leaving PSG will not make them not to be the best in the French league. They’ve dominated the league for long now and I don’t think they will be replaced easily by any club in the French league even though Mbappe leaves. Mbappe is indeed their biggest strength in that club but his departure won’t cause them any trouble. They will feel it, but will adjust after some time and fit into it again and continue to remain the best club in the league. No other club can sign quality players like they do in the Ligue 1 and that had made them standout amongst all other clubs in the league now.
Kylian Mbappe already gave announced that he's going to leave Paris Saint Germaine at the end of the season but the debate that his departure will significantly affect the performance of the French champions come next season I know will be very difficult for the team but that doesn't mean that Paris Saint Germaine will fail to dominate the French league when the France international leaves the club if you ask me. The current squad of Paris Saint Germaine without Kylian Mbappe will still remain the most fearsome in the whole of France but definitely not in Europe but with the presence of Kylian Mbappe, the Paris Saint Germaine team will pose a great threat when facing any European club. Kylian Mbappe is without doubt one of the top three best players in the world at the moment and that's why no body can write off his impact in the Paris Saint Germaine team which is why many people believes the team will likely underperform when he leaves the club.

Barcelona will play against PSG in the Champions League competition. It is the second leg and it will be played on the 17th of April. And Barcelona has an advantage on aggregate score. It is 3-2 in favor of Barcelona. the good thing is the second leg is going to be a home match for Barcelona. So everyone is expecting Barcelona to win this one. But even though everything points toward a win for Barcelona, I have to say that Barcelona will have to be careful because PSG is going to try its hardest to get to the next stage of the Champions League competition. Because you know they do not have any other competition to care about literally.

On the other hand, Barcelona still have to think about finishing in the second position in La Liga. But I think if Barcelona can keep Mbappé quiet it is probably going to be enough.
It's not an easy match for Barcelona but I think Barcelona can do it because they were able to win the away game against PSG in the first meeting. playing at home is a big advantage for Barcelona to beat PSG again. I think Barcelona only obstacle is Mbappe but Barcelona also has a strong squad. It was good to provide fierce resistance against the PSG players. Barcelona would have scored 3 goals. If the second match only resulted in a draw, Barcelona would still be able to progress to the next round.

even though Barcelona also has to think about its position in La Liga and is worried that it could be overtaken by Girona, Barcelona is also still playing well in Laliga and currently Barcelona is 5 points ahead of Girona, which means Barcelona can focus on the UCL first, even if they lose 1 match, Girona cannot overtake moreover, Barcelona is still preparing for the UCL match next week, so there is still time for Barcelona to prepare themselves.
A one goal advantage against a top European team like Paris Saint Germaine isn't enough to determine if Barcelona will win the second leg of their encounter or not but because they got that 3:2 win away at Parc des Princes and would now play the second leg of that tie at the famous Camp Nou, I think Barcelona stands a good chance of progressing to the semi final of the competition ahead of their French opponents.
Xavi Hernandez have been absolutely amazing with how he's managed the Barcelona team despite the limited finances to buy quality players at the club and will even attract more praises to himself of he can be able to help his team reach the semi finals of the UEFA Champions League competition this season. Winning the competition I think will very difficult for Barcelona but if they can reach the final, there's every possiblity of finishing the season with Europe's biggest club trophy.
333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A lot of gambling sites are scams ! on: April 15, 2024, 05:33:13 PM
Yes, sometimes we noticed that some of the gambling site are  scam and if you don’t take a look at it very well you may fall into the victim, but the best thing that I will actually advise you is that is, there is a lot of legit gambling site that is legit which has been mentioned in different times in this forum or you just have to do is take your time and look for a better company sites little about it, let it be this forum And you can make use of them like the crypto casino. They are all legit.
Sometimes you can check the rating on Trust Pilot so see if the new site you are trying to use is genuine or not. It is better we do little research about gambling platforms so that we could know the one is good to use so we don't get deceived after making deposits and playing different games and it's time to make withdrawal and the system starts telling us that we are not fit enough for the withdrawal telling us to make another deposit for one to be eligible for the net round of withdrawal. It is good to do proper check of some of those site so that we can safe our money from getting scammed at the end of the day.
Since I learnt of Trust Pilot, I don't struggle to know the genuinity of a gambling site again and just like you said, that's the easiest site that one can access a gambling site wether it's a scam site or not. I'm not a gambler that's always gambling because I rarely get time to gamble because of my work but each time I'm not working probably as a result of break, I'll always use my free time to gamble and that was how I got to gamble with a site I never knew was a scam site. It was after that experience that I decided to find the best way to examine a gambling site and that was how I came to know about Trust Pilot. So my advice to any gambler out there is that they should never gamble with a new site they don't have the full knowledge of their genuinity or risk being scammed at the end of the day.

I mean the season is over, Real will not lose that much points we know that much. However, getting closer means something good for Xavi, which makes people want to keep Xavi and not really have any other manager try for that. I get that it may feel like it is a big deal for Xavi to stay and I understand that Barcelona fans are super happy about him.

I think he already said that he is only willing to stay if he doesn't get financial trouble with transfers, he wants a player like Bernardo Silva or Kimmich which would be the reason to stay for him, that means Barcelona president has a single job, which would be getting either of those. Bayern seems to not want Kimmich and not signing contract with him, so that should be a possible transfer.
This season's La Liga trophy almost certainly belongs to Real Madrid, Barcelona as its closest competitor is very difficult to catch up with the points collected by Real Madrid who are still consistently maintaining their performance, especially since the two of them have quite a big difference in points. Barcelona is in its best moment at the moment, the players are really enjoying the improvement experienced in the last few matches. It is recorded that Barcelona has played 13 matches without defeat since Xavi officially announced his resignation as head coach.

Barcelona will lose an important figure in the club if Xavi officially leaves in the end, the club must try to comply with his request if they don't want to lose a coach who has a philosophy that has been very synonymous with Barcelona's style of play. I think that is the only way to make Xavi stay at Barcelona for at least the next season.
Considering the current points of Barcelona and Real Madrid coupled with how the both teams have performed since the start of the season, choosing Real Madrid as the favorite team to win the Spanish La Liga shouldn't be a big deal if you ask me because they've easily been the best Spanish team since the start of the season. The two teams will face each other in Sunday for what will be the last El Classico of the season and if I'm to bank my money on the game, I'll definitely go for a Real Madrid win.

Pedri sends out strong statement on future amid claims Barcelona willing to cash in on midfield star
Pedri has spoken about his Barcelona future following rumours that the club could listen to offers for the injury-plagued midfielder.
Source: https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/pedri-strong-statement-future-claims-barcelona-cash-in-midfield-star/blt50b44e6d34a1be52

These are some really good players for Barcelona. I hope Barcelona does everything that they can to keep them. Because if Barcelona for some reason decides to sell these players, I don't think they will be able to get a better player with the money that they will get if they sell them. Knowing the financial situation of Barcelona, the player is definitely making a bold statement. Barcelona, A club that struggles to register players, should definitely be very interested in keeping the young talents that are proving to be great. Think Barcelona will keep him. We have seen loyal players stay in Barcelona even after not getting paid properly. And it does seem like he is very loyal to Barcelona.
If for any reason Barcelona lets go of their young Spanish midfielder Pedri, I think it's one decision they'll definitely regret in the future and my own opinion is based on the potentials the young star have already shown. Barcelona in recent years have not been financially stable and that was why they've not been active in the transfer market so selling off a good player like Pedri will give them more issues as to find his replacement. The young Spanish player have been sidelined for most part of the season because of injuries he's suffered but that shouldn't be the reason why Barcelona would want to let go of him.

Guardiola probably didn’t even expect that he would receive such a handicap, in just one round, both competitors lost points. In general, something incomprehensible is happening to Liverpool, why did they lose to Atalanta like that, and even if someone says that Klopp wanted to focus on the Premier League, then why did they lose to Crystal Peles? In any case, Klopp found himself in a very difficult situation, and now his end to his career may not be as colorful as we expect, but this also happens.
Guardiola and Manchester City were given big gifts from two competitors on a single day and it's quite strange that both Liverpool and Arsenal lost points at their home stadiums. These shocked defeats give Manchester City a first position that looks to be far for them because they need to have three conditions at the same time, they win and two competitors lose points. It is what happened on Sunday with Liverpool and Arsenal and Manchester City now have biggest advantage in the race.

They now are in similar situation like Manchester City recent weeks and will need many conditions to take a first position back. Manchester City after one day last week, have due diligent chance to win Premier League again.
Arsenal and Liverpool were unable to win their respective matches on Sunday though I already saw it coming because some of the things that causes fear and anxiety in title competitors is when you see your title contender win a game before you guys will play your own game because when Manchester city won Luton by 5:1 on Saturday, I knew that either Liverpool or Arsenal will find their matches difficult to win and surprisingly the both of them lost and gave Manchester city a 2 point advantage over them and like i said previously, now that Manchester city have reclaimed the top spot in the league table, they will do everything within their capacity to maintain it till the season ends.

One thing I like about English football is that the league is very entertaining as no one could believe that Liverpool and Arsenal will lose their matches respectively but however, it is not yet over for the both teams more especially for Arsenal because they still maintain the highest goal difference in the league so if peradventure Manchester city draws any of their matches and Arsenal continues to win more on high goal margin then if there comes a tie between them and Manchester city, they will take advantage of the goal difference and win the trophy so let await more drama towards the ending part of the league.
I don't want to believe that the reason why Liverpool and Arsenal lost their league games over the weekend  was because they were under pressure caused by Manchester City's win against Luton Town on Saturday. Both Liverpool and Arsenal knows that their their in strong contention for the league title with Manchester City and should be more determined to win their own games after Pep Guardiola's men recorded a win in their own game on Saturday instead of playing their game under pressure.
Liverpool and Arsenal were poor in their games and I think they should be criticized for their poor performance instead of hiding under any form of excuse for their very poor outing. The battle for who wins the English Premier League is not as interesting as it's been since the start of the season because I think it's now obvious that Manchester City will win the league

AS Roma's match against Udinese turned tense last night and they had to postpone the match yesterday because AS Roma defender Evan Ndicka almost died and was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital to get quick help. Bad things like this we can't even predict for AS Roma. also didn't want to force the match because one of the players collapsed and wished Evan the best to recover quickly and return to AS Roma and not have any trauma from the football he played.

I admire Daniele De Rossi, he as a coach is able to make wise decisions. He wants his players to calm down first and not force the match when one of his players is suffering. The latest news is that the AS Roma player has managed to get through his critical period and currently still needs to undergo further treatment. Who knows how long this match will be postponed, but what is clear is that AS Roma will play the match calmly and enthusiastically if they know that their defender will recover soon.
I wasn't able to watch the game between Udinese and AS Roma last night because I forgot the game time but when I searched for the highlights of the game this morning, I saw the news concerning the collapse of AS Roma's defender Evans Ndicka which led to the game been postponed till further notice. It was a good decision from AS Roma players and management to discontinue the game and show respect to the concerned player. I also read a statement from the club this morning where they sent their a message of support to the player while wishing him a quick recovery.
AS Roma are trying to finish the season in the top four of the Italian Serie A table and would've increased their chances of achieving that aim of they had won the game against Udinese last night but will now have to wait till when a new date for that particular fixture will be announced.

Bayern Leverkusen clinched their first-ever league title with an impressive unbeaten streak of 43 games. What an accomplishment for the team and their coach! We're all thrilled for Xabi's success, especially considering it's their debut season. It's a true underdog story, and we love it. Now, the challenge is to hold on to their top players and maintain their momentum for the next season. Let's hope they can continue their undefeated run in their upcoming matches. Leverkusen and the team did an amazing job, now anything looks like possible for them, including winning the DFB Pokal and UEL.
Xabis success is actually one of a kind in the fact thst it's his first time as a coach and aswell his first time in this team and yet he was able to achieve much that hasn't been achieved by my other coach in the German bundesliga in a season with such n average team but then with Xabi it's been made reality and the records are actually rear across Europe as it's only a few times a team has been able to stay unbeaten in a season especially amongst average teams.

Most times we get to see such records it's with elite teams which when in their best and good forms, we could actually say achieving such is something that's actually expected of them so they actually did that which was expected tho it's not easy or common in most cases and that's why achieving it with an average team has to be even more spectacular than it would be when achieved with teams such as the ones regarded as elite and tops in the league, Munich has been considered all round the season to be the teams to stop and break Leverkusens unbeaten record but interestingly it's wasn't the case.

What has made this record of Leverkusen very irregular is that both in the UEL they are yet to suffer a loss still and even in the dfb polka they have same record such that it's even looking like they may end up securing the trophy at the dfb polka this season, i must say they have conquered much more than Munich has done in the greman league wholisticlly as this record is almost not there for Bayern Munich.
Earlier today, I was analyzing Xabi Alonso's incredible success story with his Bayer Leverkusen team and stumbled on a news report that was talking about the kind of managers that's managed the young Spanish manager during his days as a professional footballer. What I read in the report made me realize that Xabi Alonso had played under some of the greatest football managers in the history of football like Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Rafael Benitez, Carlo Ancelotti and Vincente Del Bosque.
I think it was under those managers that Xabi Alonso was able to gather the much needed experience that he's currently using to flourish at Bayer Leverkusen. Playing under those managers gave him the opportunity to learn different tactical approaches to modern day football of which out of the experience, he was able to coin his own style of football. Xabi Alonso if you ask me will continue to grow from strength to strength while breaking more football records

I mean the season is over, Real will not lose that much points we know that much. However, getting closer means something good for Xavi, which makes people want to keep Xavi and not really have any other manager try for that. I get that it may feel like it is a big deal for Xavi to stay and I understand that Barcelona fans are super happy about him.

I think he already said that he is only willing to stay if he doesn't get financial trouble with transfers, he wants a player like Bernardo Silva or Kimmich which would be the reason to stay for him, that means Barcelona president has a single job, which would be getting either of those. Bayern seems to not want Kimmich and not signing contract with him, so that should be a possible transfer.
There's seven more games to play in the Spanish La Liga before the end of the current campaign which means that there are 21 more points to fight for which is why I don't think that the fight fir who wins the Spanish La Liga title at the end of the current season is totally not over until it's finally confirmed that the current league leaders have successfully won the league title. Real Madrid who are top of the Spanish La Liga will host second placed Barcelona on Sunday and the result of the match I think will determine if there'll be a nervous end to the league campaign or not.
Should Real Madrid win that game, they'll extend their lead at the top of the table to 11 points ahead of Barcelona but if the Catalan club succeeds in the game and get a win, they'll reduce their points difference behind the league leaders to just five points which will make the title race take a new twist.

Al-Hilal managed to beat Ittihad FC in the final of the Saudi Super Cup with a convincing score of 4-1, and actually this was predicted because the one who was predicted to be able to stop Al-Hilal from winning their first title this season was Al-Nassr but in the semifinals Al-Hilal managed to maintain an unbeaten record and advanced to the final and beat Ittihad.
Apart from the Saudi Super Cup title, Al-Hilal is still competing in the Saudi Arabian King's Cup and again Al-Hilal will face Ittihad FC in the semifinals with their potential opponents in the final between Al-Nassr and Al-Khaleej and whoever their opponent is, Al-Hilal is the most favorite to become champions in this competition, so Al-Hilal's chances of winning the treble winner this season are wide open, because one title, namely the Saudi Pro League, is definitely theirs because no team can shift its position in the standings with a very large difference in points.
Al-Hilal's playing the best soccer I've seen in the Saudi League, maybe ever. They're smart, decisive - it shows. Super Cup? Already theirs. King's Cup? Looks like it. Defense is a wall, offense scores at will. Ittihad was demolished in the final, wont be different this time.

Honestly, they're on track for the treble. Nobody else is even close in the league. This dominance, its not good for competition, but its incredibly impressive. Al-Nassr, everyone else, they've got some serious work to do. Al-Hilal owns this season, and the rest of us, we're just lucky to be watching.
What's happening in the Saudi league this season I think best describes the phrase that "quality football isn't bought with money" and that's because when the season started, Another Saudi club was easily picked by many to go on and win the league title because of the quality and world class players they were able to assemble. Al Hilal's consistency this season is as a result of good coaching by the manager as well dedicated players who truly want to wants to play for the club and that's why they will always give their best whenever they're on the pitch.
At the moment, I don't think there's anything that's going to stop Al Hilal from winning every domestic trophy that's up for contest because their quality of football is absolutely unmatchable by any of the top teams in the Saudi league
