Barcelona had luck and won against Cadiz, but they have returned to their roots and deserve to win the match so that they can maintain their second-place finish in the league. Madrid do well against Mallorca, and I think Ancelotti will do all this best and win all the remaining matches in the league, and after Real Madrid play against Manchester City next week, their next game in the league will be El Classico, and Xavi will like to win the match since madrid defeated them in the Camp Nou. Real Madrid will be more confident after playing against Manchester City before playing against Barcelona, and they will do their best and win Manchester City so that they will prepare for Barcelona weekend. Are you thinking Manchester City will defeat real madrid next week I still give madrid hope they will do all there best and defeat guadiola they won't agree this season because both of them perform very well and Ancelotti need the match and the trophy.
Not only Real Madrid will prepare themselves in the best way for the El Clasico match, but Barcelona will also prepare for it. Real Madrid will face Manchester City in the second leg of the quarter-finals, while Barcelona will face PSG.

Both teams will have tough matches and will also be very tiring, but Real Madrid will still have the advantage even though they will lose in El Clasico against Barcelona. Of course, that's because Real Madrid still has a safe points gap over Barcelona, ​​even if Real Madrid loses, the points gap will only be 5 points with 6 games remaining. This means that I still think it's safe for Real Madrid to rotate players in El Clasico after they finish their tiring match against Manchester City.
The El Classico is going to take place by next week Sunday and the interesting thing about the game is that both teams are going to play the game after UEFA Champions League game between strong opponents. Real Madrid won the first two El Classicos of the season and as a Real Madrid fan, I'm still backing them to win the game on Sunday. Barcelona who'll face Paris Saint Germaine during the week in the UEFA Champions League will definitely want to win the game so they can reduce their points difference behind the league leaders to just five points. Real Madrid who are very keen to win the game and increase their chances of sealing the league title as early as possible I know will also be giving their best as well and I'm very optimistic that they'll get the better of Barcelona

It's too much to equate Roma and Leverkusen, I think there is clearly a difference here and I also see that Roma still doesn't have a big percentage to be in the semifinals and meet Leverkusen because even though they won the first leg against Milan, the performance of the Roma team was so bad that Agg 1 It is very possible to catch the goal in the second leg.
The match in the second leg for Roma will definitely be fiercer because Milan will definitely try to win as much as they can even though they are playing at Roma's home ground, because with just one goal in the first leg it certainly won't be safe enough for Roma to qualify for the next round. Unless Roma can really make a big surprise with an extraordinary increase in performance at home when they host AC Milan in the second leg.

Quote
Meanwhile, Leverkusen is currently still quite stable, if there are no big surprises like Atalanta's surprise against Liverpool, then the Leverkusen team can be said to be a team that has quality above the average of other teams.
This season, Leverkusen still has no equal, judging by the fact that they have never lost any match this season. And I don't even hesitate to say that Leverkusen will progress to the next round with an extraordinary aggregate, even though in the second leg West Ham will also try to score a goal to beat Leverkusen. But that is quite a difficult thing for West Ham to do because Leverkusen still has full strength to continue to focus on the Europa League this season in order to reach the final.

Although AS Roma only has 1-0 aggregate but still, at this moment AS Roma has a good ability to be able to qualify for the semifinals. It doesn't matter about the reputation and quality that Milan has because after all, the reality is that AS Roma really has the success of improving its quality with De Rossi. So, if only playing against Milan, I personally still believe AS Roma will still be able to beat Milan and AS Roma will qualify for the semifinals.

But indeed, because if AS Roma qualify for the semifinals then AS Roma will play against Bayer Leverkusen. Obviously, in this season Bayer Leverkusen is a very extraordinary team, so it is certainly difficult for AS Roma to beat Bayer Leverkusen. So yes, if for example Liverpool fall in this quarter-final and then Bayer Leverkusen play against AS Roma in the semi-final. Then yes, with such a scenario it is certain that Bayer Leverkusen will get the Europa League trophy this season and thus, Bayer Leverkusen will successfully get the treble winner this season.
The significant improvement in the Roma team since Daniele De Rossi became the club manager is so visible that everyone can see it including people who never believed in the tactical strength of the young Italian manager when he was newly appointed as the club manager. When the draw for the quarter finals and semi finals of the UEFA Europa League competition was made, I was of the opinion that Roma will be easily beaten and eliminated by AC Milan because in my own view, I thought the quality of players at the Milan club is obviously better than Roma but that wasn't what we saw when AC Milan hosted Roma for the first leg of the quarter final tie. Roma to the surprise of many won the game and in my own assessment, I think they'll still go on to win the tie when AC Milan trave to Diego Armando Maradona stadium in Rome for the second leh of the tie.
On the other quarter final tie involving recently crowned champions of Germany Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham, I think the German side will finish up with their first leg win and seal their place in semi finals of the competition

Erik ten Hag walks out of a press conference when asked about Man United's worst Premier League finish in history.
Source: https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1779239482874544533

when asked about Man United's worst performance he replied "I don't comment" and walked out...  Cheesy lol
The press are your friend, but when you start dodging such questions the press won't let you off the hook as this is now big news for them, and whatever comes next for Erik Ten Hag will certainly be justified and I don't see him lasting another season when this is done!!


Coming back to some EPL action, today had some pretty interesting fixtures and we saw Liverpool losing it when we all thought it would have an easy 3points but palace had other plans to spoil their afternoon...another reason that shows the EPL isn't easy.
Walking out of the press isn't the best way to address the question that was posed by match reporters to Erik ten Hag and so the earlier he learns how to manage his emotions and give matching answers to whatever question he faces the better for him. The Dutch man's spell at Manchester United if you ask me should be considered as a failure and I think it'll be a good decision for the club management to get rid of him at the end of the season.
He was asked few weeks ago about his future at Manchester United which responded by saying that he'll be at the club beyond the current season but what I don't know is if he got a full backing by the club's management.
Manchester United must go for a manager that'll help improve the team's performance and bring them back to winning ways again

In essence, Bayer Leverkusen will still win in this home match because after all, based on the calculation that Bayer Leverkusen only needs one more win to lock in the Bundesliga title this season. And yes, that one win happens in this home match and thus, then with full confidence of course Bayer Leverkusen will win in this home match, and thus then Bayer Leverkusen will celebrate the Bundesliga title this season also at home at the end of this match. But even so, although I am very confident that Bayer Leverkusen will still win in this match, but I only believe Bayer Leverkusen will only win with a thin score such as 1-0 or 2-0.
Bayern Leverkusen only needed 3 points in today's match and they managed to get it quite convincingly after defeating Wender Bremen with a big enough score, Leverkusen's 3 points today allowed them to celebrate their championship today sooner before spending their remaining 4 matches of the season, winning the Leverkusen championship trophy this season is quite a fantastic record apart from because today they can make new history in the Bundesliga After previously never can trophy winning, Leverkusen managed to win the championship trophy unbeaten in one season and that is certainly a very fantastic achievement and difficult to replicate by other teams including Bayern Munich.

Currently Leverkusen has won 79 points and has a difference of 16 points from Bayern Munich in the league, with 5 games left it is certainly impossible for Bayern Munich to be able to match Leverkusen's points, so that Leverkusen has officially become the 2023/24 Bundesliga championship while breaking Bayern Munich's dominance that has been maintained for 11 consecutive years.

For the first time in 12 years, the German Bundesliga title has been won by another German club that's not Bayern Munich. After several attempts by Borussia Dortmund to end Bayern Munich's 11-year dominance in the German league, Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen have finally achieved that aim. In the game against Werder Bremen, Victor Boniface converted from the spot in the first half of the game to hand Bayer Leverkusen their first of the game but after the first half ended with a one goal scoreline, I was of the opinion that Bayer Leverkusen will likely struggle in the second half but little did I know that they'll score four more goals to claim a convincing win in the game. Xabi Alonso have achieved a great feat and must be celebrated by every lover of football across the globe

Many people are overreacting to Atalanta game, but Liverpool is the team that managed to come back from this deficit against Barcelona at UCL, you think they can't do the same against Atalanta? First of all, they do not need 4 goals right away, they need just 3 goals for the game, then it's extra time, then it's both teams tied at that point and nobody has advantage but I would say momentum would be on Liverpool's side as well.

So, scoring three goals to Atalanta should not be impossible for Liverpool. Do not consider the fact that this is a big difference just because it is unexpected, I believe that stuff like these happens and I believe that Liverpool will be able to overcome this. Even if not, they will try their best.
After the result of the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter final game between Liverpool and Atalanta, many people are of the opinion that Atalanta will definitely progress to the semi finals of the competition even when bookmakers had backed their English opponents to win the tie before the first leg. Now in your own opinion, you believe that the Liverpool team will be able make a come back in the tie when they travel to Italy for the second leg on Sunday because they have made similar come backs in European competitions before now.
I respect your opinion about the whole issue but I don't think Liverpool will be able to make that come back on Thursday and I said that because Liverpool is not at their best at the moment as they've failed to win any of their last three games in all competitions. Earlier today, they were beaten in a crucial English Premier League game at home by Crystal Palace. So I think that the result of their last three games games is gonna affect the teams confidence before the game against Atalanta on. Thursday

We never saw a player like Figo in Portugal but after a year they had a player like Ronaldo and he had a better performance than Figo in their team. In fact, they never had a player like Deco or Figo but instead, they got something better than these players.
Sometimes all you should do is to give some more chance to the younger players and they can see the reward. We can't expect to see a player like Ronaldo in Portugal anymore but the younger talents can take their place and help the team to get improve for the next World Cup.

I agree with you. But even a player like Luis Figo is not a player who is included in the GOAT ranks. I know he is a great player and a legend. He was one of the world's best players in his prime. But Ronaldo was born different. He's better than Figo. But to say that we will find another player like Ronaldo, like when Ronaldo appeared after Figo, I think that is very impossible. Ronaldo has many great records that most other players in the world don't even have. That's why I said it would be very difficult to find another player like Ronaldo. Without wanting to offend, I think it's easy to find a player who is greater than Figo but can you find a player who is greater than Ronaldo? Maybe we have to wait a few decades.
When Luis Figo was in his prime as a professional footballer, many people had believed that no other future player in the Portugal national will be able to as great as he was as well as achieve everything he did achieve with the team but to the surprise of many, Cristiano Ronaldo who would go on to become the greatest Portuguese player ever emerged even before Luis Figo left the national team. Now, just as you rightly said, almost everyone believes that Portugal will not be able to produce another player that'll match the records of Cristiano Ronaldo. In football, we can never say never but in my own opinion, I don't think it'll be possible for us to see any player of Portuguese decent that'll ever give us what Cristiano Ronaldo gave us. Ronaldo's numbers are too intimidating for anyone to match it now or in the future

The match between Arsenal and Aston Villa in Emirate stadium first half has come to an end. It is still a goalless, as Arsenal missed great opportunities of scoring in the first half. Aston Villa could not withstand the brilliant playing pattern of Arsenal, as they had no shot on target in the first half. Arsenal as usual dominated the match and used all wings by spreading the ball to various players. I think Arsenal need to scbore a goal and take the lead in the second half, so that their mi ds can be at rest that they are the ones topping the table.

Asernal 0-0 Aston Villa.
The second half of the match is played and the match is still goalless. Arsenal needs this match very much, their attacks and control of the game are under their control, but Aston Villa completely shuts them down and they continue without making any mistakes. If the match ends in a draw, it will mean some relief for Manchester City. Liverpool, one of their close rivals, lost today against Cystal Palace.

All the results have a huge impact on the situation of the other teams in the top three rankings.

The match between Arsenal and Aston Villa is already in the 78 minutes as at when this post was written but the result is still the same 0:0 with Arsenal having more of ball possession and goal attempts but Aston Villa doing a very solid defense as they are marking Arsenal out of their box just to prevent them from getting a goal in the match, Arsenal needs to be very careful if still want to continue fighting for 5he league and they need to be careful the way they all push attacks because Aston Villa has been planning to counter attack and ir that is achieved it's going to be difficult for Arsenal to comeback.

Update...0:1. L. Bailey has given Aston Villa the lead and it's going to be a tough fight for Arsenal now.
It's 0:2 now 😂😂.
What a shock to Arsenal as Aston Villa was able to score two goals within three minutes to put Arsenal on a very difficult spot on the league. I don't see any victory for Arsenal, it will be better for them if they can manage to draw the match, but it is now impossible because the match is already in the extra minutes.

This is the first time since November that Manchester city have top the league to be on the first position on the table. It is quite unbelievable to see that all two clubs on the top 3 positions lost today, and only Manchester city was able to win their match yesterday giving them a better advantage of winning the league.


The English Premier League game between Arsenal and Aston Villa has just ended with the away team scoring two goals in the last 10 minutes of the game to claim a surprise victory at the Emirates stadium and leave Arsenal manager and players feeling disappointed with the result. Manchester City won their game against Luton Town yesterday to go top of the English Premier League table for the first time since November but very few would've expected them to remain at the top after the match week 33 games are completed.
Liverpool needed a win against Crystal Palace earlier today to overtake Manchester City  but surprisingly lost their game which gave Arsenal the advantage of returning to summit of the league table if they manage to beat Aston Villa but little did we know that Aston Villa will do Manchester City a big favour by winning the game.

The only "crazy" result from today is Newcastle nuking Tottenham to Kickstart the Gameweek  Grin. I didn't see the game so I'd have to see the highlights. Brentford won at home like I expected; however, I didn't place any bets except City because it was a high conviction bet. Title race is on, City will win, I expect Liverpool and Arsenal to win tomorrow as well. If both Liverpool and Arsenal fail to win tomorrow, I think it's safe to say that it's another City title win.
I think Liverpool and arsenal suppose to win their match today by all means, because if they failed to win that means man city have already taking the premier league trophy because looking at man city squads I don't think they are going to take a shift from any clubs in England premier league.

Because as long as premier league is consign Man City is the best team so far.
Despite two ultra-inefficient strikers like Haaland and Alvarez, they score four or five goals every game. If they had a finisher like lewandowski or eto'o in their strikers they would probably see 120 goals this season. Haaland doesn't seem to have any momentum at the moment unfortunately. He was on fire when he first arrived but he can't play. He used to say bring it and I'll score, now he can't do that either. I'm not saying he should be like Messi and Ronaldo, but he has the highest market value with Mbappe. We were saying he can play with De Bruyne, now he can't turn his passes into goals. As I said, we don't expect him to become Messi and Ronaldo, but this drop in performance is not normal. Pep was playing through Halland at the beginning of the season and when he realised he was not going to be the star of this team and that he was no different from other standard players and when he did not base the game on him, productivity increased.
After reading about your post that described Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez as "ultra inefficient",  and how Manchester City were still able to score five goals in a game they didn't have much impact on, my respect for Pep Guardiola have further increased and I'll tell you why. Last season, Erling Haaland was in the best form of his life as he broke so many goalscoring records in the English Premier League as well as in Europe while Julian Alvarez was also scoring plenty of goals whenever he got the chance to play but this season, both players haven't been as prolific as they were last season but that's not stopped Manchester City from remaining in strong position to retain all the trophies they won last season these two players were scoring lots of goals. In a season were his two strikers aren't scoring as many goals as expected, Manchester City manager has been able to win games that's kept them in strong positions to retain the treble

Bayern confirm Kingsley Coman has sustained a muscle injury in his right adductor.
“Coman will be sidelined for several weeks”, club statement reports.

Source: https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1779211463761989827?s=46

This is actually very good news for Arsenal. They will actually play against Bayern Munich without having Coman and Gnabry in the Bayern Munich team. This has made it easier for Arsenal. I still think it is going to be a very competitive match. But this injury news is really going to cause some problems for Bayern Munich. The biggest problem for them is going to be winning against Arsenal. They have to overcome this problem and after that think about future matches. And I have to say another thing, which is, if Arsenal is unable to win against Bayern Munich even after having all these advantages, it is definitely going to be a bad performance from the side of Arsenal.

Bayern Munich already had problems because after 11 years they are going to lose the Bundesliga title to another club. And now it looks like they have a lot of trouble in the competition as well.
Playing the second leg of their quarter final tie against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League this week without either of Serge Gnabry or Kingsley Coman will be a huge blow to Thomas Tuchel's Bayern Munich who will be going into the game with 2:2 aggregate scoreline. But even in the absence of the duo, I still expect Bayern Munich to get a result that'll see them progress to the semi finals of the competition even when I know it'll be a very difficult task for them. Arsenal manager and players will be a bit relieved that they'll not be facing any of the two injured players and would definitely want to capitalize on it to win the second leg of the tie which will take place at Allianz Arena on Wednesday. It's going to be a very difficult game for both teams but because it's the second and final leg of the tie, of be of the two teams will leave the stadium eliminated from the competition

Who would have believed it would be Crystal Palace that would make Liverpool drop three points, even when Liverpool was at home? This is an important match for Liverpool, but they failed to beat Crystal Palace to go top in the Premier League table. Liverpool is now in third place in the Premier League table. This is a good opportunity for Arsenal to beat Aston Villa and go top in the Premier League table.
I also didn't expect it and was a little surprised when I saw Liverpool lose at home against Crystal Palace. This is certainly not what Liverpool wants because they are struggling to get a trophy this season, but Liverpool have to accept this bitter reality through Crystal Palace today even though Liverpool are still on track to win the title this season. Meanwhile, for the Arsenal match, I see that there are still no goals scored so for now Arsenal still have to be in second place, because if Arsenal is able to win, of course the top position will be theirs today even though in the next match there can still be changes if Arsenal didn't win

This was a completely unexpected result. Against Atalanta, Liverpool coach Klopp rested key players in his squad in the first half. Because he does not want any important player of the squad to face injury while performing in the Europa League match. Liverpool were badly beaten in the Europa League match. And the team was also defeated in the Premier League match. In this match, Liverpool's players could not score a single goal after attacking a lot. Crystal Palace's defense and goalkeeper played very well in this match.

Liverpool are now 2 points behind Manchester City. If Arsenal can win against Aston Villa then Arsenal will go 3 points ahead of Liverpool. It is very difficult for Liverpool to win the Premier League title.
With the result of the Liverpool game against Crystal Palace at Anfield this afternoon, Liverpool have failed to win any of their last three games in all competitions of which they lost two and drew one. Last week Sunday, they finished their game against Manchester United with a 2:2 draw but were still expected to beat the Italian club Atalanta in their UEFA Europa League quarter final encounter at Anfield on Thursday but the shock of many, Liverpool were disappointingly beaten at home with a 0:3 scoreline.
After Manchester City won their league game against Luton Town yesterday, they climbed to the submit of the league table which means that Liverpool needed to beat Crystal Palace at home today to climb back to the submit of the league table. Surprisingly against, Liverpool lost the game even when they were played it in their own home ground. Jurgen Klopp really need to do something as fast as he can to improve the confidence of the club players or lose out in the title race

Today Bayer Leverkusen will face Bremen at home, after seeing Munich win in yesterday's match Bayer Leverkusen will definitely want to continue their winning record when they face Bremen later, they are not too tough an opponent for Bayer Leverkusen even though they are in the middle of the table and have the worst results what Bayer Leverkusen might achieve is a draw but I don't think that will happen when facing Bremen, but no one knows the surprise because we haven't seen Bayer Leverkusen defeat for the first time, who knows, the lower level teams will be able to give Bayer that surprise.

Bayer Leverkusen need to win this game to achieve two things: a record for not being defeated for long time and to grab the Bundesliga title from Bayern Munich which dominated it for so many years too.
Xabi Alonso could celebrate the Bundesliga title with his team and fans since today at home once they defeat Werder Bremen, let's not forget this important point Wink
Xabi Alonso, he is a complete genius, so incredible, efficient in his career as a player and still holding the efficiency as a coach with Leverkusen. I am far impressed by the long record he has broken and probably be setting today another exceptional record when they win werder bremen.

I read on X that in light of today's game Leverkusen has to rename the street leading to their stadium after him Xabi Alonso and to me that a beautiful way of showing appreciation for a job well done. https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1779495150047117390?t=PcRD1yqyWpu3LZPnSco4Jg&s=19
Bayer Leverkusen are currently leading in their German Bundesliga home game against Werder Bremen and must protect their win to be crowned German champions for the first time since the formation of the club thanks to Xabi Alonso's incredible performance as the club manager. Since the young Spanish manager became the club manager, he's significantly improved the general performance of the club and has made them become one of the best teams in not just Germany but in the whole of Europe.
Victor Boniface who scored of the two goals that Bayer Leverkusen needed to beat West Ham in the UEFA Europa League competition last week Thursday gave the league leaders the lead in the 25 minutes by converting from the spot and with the rousing and thunderous sounds from the stands, the Bayer Leverkusen players are getting all the support they need to protect their win and help the club fans live their dreams of winning the German title at the end of the game

I honestly hope Bayern doesn't get Nagelsmann back, they didn't utilize his greatest talent, which is team building, and used him for his tactics, now that they are losing players left and right to old age, they are looking at Nagelsmann again, they should have done it when they had him. In any case, I still think that Bayern is rich enough to get Xabi eventually, if they do offer big enough, there is no way Xabi would stay, so they are going to get someone temporary anyway.
On the other hand, I don't have a problem if Nagelsmann returns to coach Bayern Munich. The reason is last season Thomas Tuchel was given the opportunity to replace his position, now there is no reason for Tuchel to keep him and the results have proven to be very disappointing. If Nagelsmann return is able to return Bayern Munich's performance to a better direction, anyone even Bayern fans, will agree. However the problem is whether Nagelsmann is really willing after being dumped in a disrespectful way. Based on my knowledge, many Bayern Munich coaches received disrespectful treatment when they were fired. Nagelsmann will laugh at management decision if he accepts the offer. Wasn't Nagelsmann last season considered a failure? Bayern Munich actually does not lack great players or reliable coaches, but what Bayern Munich needs is team unity in implementing the strategy. Tuchel is a good coach but does not find mutual compatibility with the players.
When Julian Nagelsmamm was sacked from his position as Bayern Munich boss last season, the club was still in the UEFA Champions League competition as well as in the top of the German Bundesliga table but the club management felt that he's not tactically capable of helping the club achieve their aims of last season so they hired Thomas Tuchel as his replacement and since the former Paris Saint Germaine and Chelsea manager became the club manager, he's not been able to live up to his expectations. So should Tuchel leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season, I don't the it'll be an honourable decision for Julian Nagelsmamm to accept to return to the same club again.
Nagelsmamm for now, is saddled with the job if helping the German national team win the upcoming UEFA Euros Championship and I think the German manager is more concerned about that task than whatever offer that's coming from Bayern Munich. If for any reason Julian Nagelsmamm decides to leave his current job as the coach of the German national team, I think he'll get other good coaching jobs other from that of Bayern Munich

There is sad news for teams like Liverpool and Bayern Munich and that's about Roberto De Zerbi the coach of Brighton. Since De Zerbi had a perfect performance during this season in all the games we saw from him in Brighton, there are some teams that want to hire this Italian coach. Even Barcelona was close to hiring De Zerbi when they wanted to stop working with Xavi.
But when De Zerbi was talking to an Italian channel he said he is not interested in leaving the Premier League however he likes Italian and Italian football. Since Juventus had bad performances with their coach De Zerbi was also linked to Juventus for the next season.
I think De Zerbi has a long-term plan in Brighton however so far Brighton is in the 10th place in the premier league.


The performance of Roberto De Zerbi at Brighton since he became their manager have been very immense if you ask me and if for any reason he decides to leave the club, I think many of the top clubs are going to make sure they sign him. A lot of top European clubs have reportedly shown interest in him already but I don't think the Italian manager would want to leave Brighton at the end of the current season. The recent interview were he said he likes Italian football I don't think suggests he wants to join an Italian team but because he's admiring the style of football in his country home. He's still very much interested in his team and would do everything to protect his interest

This season, the Barcelona team withdrew from the fight for the title of La League at the beginning of the season. Girona and Real Madrid have battled for the La Liga title since the start of the season. Barcelona's performance was somewhat erratic

This is Xavi's last season at Barcelona. He will definitely try his best to do well in the Champions League. Xavi won the La Liga title last season. Having won the Champions League title, Xavi will want to make his journey with Barcelona memorable as a coach as well. However, if you want to win the Champions League title, such an irregular performance cannot be done. Barcelona players need to work harder.
Even though Barcelona performance is uncertain, I think progress in the UCL is enough to support them to qualify for the semifinals. They have shown a great game and beat PSG at the opponent home ground. This shows that Barcelona currently has quite a big opportunity and the task is easier because in the second leg they are playing at home. Even though Barcelona scheme did not win the UCL trophy, Xavi is still considered to be a coach who has made many changes amidst Barcelona messy financial condition. In my opinion, he has been able to survive and by maximizing what he has, Xavi can be said to be quite lucky, because now the most disadvantaged is when Xavi has to leave and Laporta will have difficulty finding a replacement.
Yes, Barcelona, even though it doesn't look like they're doing well, their consistent performance is very worthy of appreciation, whereas if we look at and compare with Real Madrid who are in first place but are doubtful of being able to qualify for the semi finals while playing away from home, Real Madrid will definitely have difficulties.
Barcelona in the upcoming match will be the host while the aggregate score is superior to PSG.
I have speculation that Barcelona will qualify for the semi finals and Real Madrid will fail and will only focus on winning the title in LaLiga.
Xavi is not only lucky but he has extraordinary intelligence and is able to make a good contribution to provide good achievements in the future.
Xavi departure will worry all fans because if they get the right coach, Barca players will definitely not have such a strong performance.
Barcelona might not have been able to defend the Spanish La Liga title this season but the truth is that they've been very impressive despite having so many of their players sidelined because of the various injuries they sustained this season. The club manager Xavi Hernandez isn't getting all the credit he deserves after all he did to keep the club running despite all their setbacks. When they were drawn against Paris Saint Germaine in quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League, I was of thd opinion that Barcelona would be easily eliminated from the competition but their impressive performance in the first leg of the game that helped them get a win against the French champions at Parc des Princes was very surprising to me. Barcelona with that win are now very likely to to reach the semi finals of the competition despite not spending much in the transfer window.

It was so bad to see Manchester United struggling to equalize Bournemouth in this game and if not that the tackle happened outside the 18 yards box, Bournemouth would have had a penalty and possibly scored. Manchester and Chelsea continues to struggle in this ending stage of the season and it is very clear that they are most likely not to qualify for European competition next season if we consider the remaining matches before the season comes to an end
The opportunity to qualify for European competition, namely the European League, is closed. We realize that that is something that is difficult to achieve for the teams we still loyally support. We don't want to compare with other teams and we also don't want to use other teams' performance as an excuse to avoid the situation we received this season.

There are only 3 teams that are considered easy for us to win from the remaining 6 matches. The 2-2 draw at Vitality Stadium was a result that was far from expected, but we accept and assess the many shortcomings that Manchester United has.
With a draw, our position was taken by Newcastle who managed to win against Tottenham.
Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club have been struggling to go back to their status as one of the biggest clubs in the whole of Europe but have failed to get a manager that'll help them achieve that feat over the years despite spending so much to acquire quality players. Their current manager Erik ten Hag is a good coach without doubt but not for a big team like Manchester United if you ask me because despite the time and resources that he's gotten from the club management since he arrived, he's yet to improve the club performance. Against Bournemouth today at the Vitality stadium, Manchester United were simply the second best team and had to struggle to get an equalizer in the dying minutes of the game. If Manchester United must improve and become tactically strong to compete for major honors again, then I think they should relieve the Dutch man of his duties at the club and go for another manager

The reason why I'm not addicted to gambling is because even before I started to play gambling I already understand gambling and its addiction, and my understanding has helped me on how to follow up gambling. Sometimes I ask myself why do people get addicted to gambling, is it because they have no understanding or awareness about the addiction of gamble.

 I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.

I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding.  Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.

Maybe the only thing we can do as a community in this field of the platform is to remind people of the pros and cons of gambling. Because, at the end of the day, they are still responsible for their gambling decisions.

It's not bad to gamble as long as we don't let ourselves be damaged and our family suffer just because we let ourselves become addicted to gambling. As much as possible, let's not let greed control us in our person.
Gambling as we all know are only meant to be practiced by adults and that's why it's very important to notify anyone who wants to engage in gambling about the risks in gambling as well as the effects of getting addicted in it because at the end, they'll make their own gambling decisions which nobody will have any power over them. No body told me about the effects of gambling addiction before I started gambling and that resulted to becoming a gambling addict that I really suffered so many losses before I got rid of the addiction. You made mention of creating a community for awareness and educating newbies about the effects of gambling addiction and how to avoid them. I don't think we'll have such community on this forum and that's why newbies are directed to come thread and topics like this to learn

They really learn fast but I don't think they see it as gambling money as we do unless you tell them that. Any game they play is just fun for them and that's probably how your kid think of it. I once saw a buddy of mine let his son play dice on mobile and he didn't find it alarming. The kid actually got bored.

Social gatherings is where kids probably see more gambling activities when adults play table games as a past time. They would usually put money on the table while some kids would be watching at the back. Many of us here probably grew up in that kind of environment. We learned how to gamble at a young age but still ended up fine.

Yet its not very advisable to let your kids play gambling games, where I live you would see lots of underage children come to charge their phones at the bet shop and not too long some started engaging in football arguments with the adults, and that's how they started gambling, some did fine and only saw it as a means to get some extra cash, others or few got notorious and it became a live long habit.

Don't act the way you don't want your kids to act, they learn quickly, they would copy and even replicate that habit and you woudl never know how it would be for them, so it's better you don't teach them, but still if you could teach them to have self control and view it as fun then you have very little problem.
Parenting is one obligation that requires absolute intentionality and that's why it's advised for adults who are not fully ready to carefully raise their wards not to have kids in other not to birth children that'll become societal nuisances. Kids are known to be very smart in learning and will always put in practice whatever they see an adult do and that's why adults shouldn't do anything that's not ideal for children in the presence of children. Gambling is only meant for adults and not kids so gambling in front of the kids is a way of introducing them to gambling at a very early stage of their life which is very likely to make them want to try what they see their parents do and because they don't know the consequences of gambling without caution, they're certainly end up as gambling addicts.

only zero to zero after the first half between Juventus and Torino.

The match isn't as fun as it often happens lately but the only thing that matters are the points brought home

next year Serie A should have 5 places available for the Champsion League so the minimum objective could be fifth place and no longer fourth.
The match will soon end and there is no change, the score remains 0-0. Will Juventus achieve unsatisfactory results again? It would be a shame if they couldn't win, because it would threaten their position in the standings. However, considering the remaining time, it looks like they will only be able to get 1 point, they hope they will get some luck in the last minute.

To be honest, they deserved this draw if we look at the game of the two clubs playing in this match, they didn't have many chances and the match was even. Torino managed to make it very difficult for Juventus in this match so that they could prevent Juventus from dominating and developing their game.

If this result lasts until the end, this will be the 10th draw achieved by Juventus in Serie A this season. I thought they would be able to win, but in fact they had a very difficult time scoring goals in this match.
It's full time in the game between Torino and Juventus and it ended in a goalless draw as none of the two teams were able to score in the game. Juventus who started the season on a very impressive form and were even considered as a serious contender for the Italian Serie A have since lost their good form and are now comfortable with fighting for a top four finish. They're currently in the third position of the leaf table with just 63 points and if fifth placed Roma should win their game against Udinese tomorrow, they'll be five points behind Juventus which will i think will open a battle for the a top four finish between Juventus, Bologna and Roma

Maybe we'll see a more competitive Ligue 1 next season because the news about Kylian Mbappe's move is getting hotter, what do you think, will PSG still compete in the top 4 next season if Kylian Mbappe leaves PSG?
Mbappe's departure should not be a big problem, because they actually have a better quality team than other clubs, but their dependence on Mbappe is actually a problem for them. If Mbappe leaves then it is very likely that they will also bring in other quality players, especially since they have very good finances which means they can pay whatever players they want.

They should have prepared for this, I mean when they still have star players in their squad at the same time building a solid team. But unfortunately they didn't do that and only focused on a few players. For Mbappe alone, how much of their time did they spend trying to get Mbbape to stay with them, and in the end, Mbappe's decision to leave turned out to be something they couldn't stop anymore. If they used their time for something that could be their future, that would be very good. But once again they don't do that for their future.
Even without the presence of Kylian Mbappe, the current squad of Paris Saint Germaine will still remain the most star studded and expensive team in the whole of France and that's because the club owners have been very active in signing high profile players to the club for more than the last one decade. However, you we can't shy away from the the fact that Kylian Mbappe have easily been the club's overall player since he arrived the club. Kylian Mbappe is a big player that's capable of winning games on his own for the team so when he finally leaves the club, they'll definitely feel his absence no matter how much they try to replace him. Paris Saint Germaine will still continue to dominate the French league after Kylian Mbappe's exit but I think they'll need time to deliver great performances that they do deliver with the presence of the France international

Most probably Liverpool is forced to win tomorrow together with Arsenal after City destroying Luton in today game,for Liverpool I am afraid of their psychological level as they were defeated 0-3 in Anfield from Atalanta in midweek in Europa League and I don't remember when it was last time Liverpool suffered such a defeat at home,it must be quite a looooong ago.
Liverpool will have to win by many goals, Manchester City already have passed them on goal difference, and that is not where Liverpool would like to be. Arsenal will also need to score goals too because Manchester City are closing in on their goal advantage. Jeremy Doku played very well in the game today, scored a very nice goal and created enough chances for his teammates. The Manchester City coach will be proud because he has been able to win this game very well, while resting some important players like Phil Foden and Rodri because they still have serious games coming up.
Manchester United are the team left to play today, another loss will not sit well with their supporters.
Liverpool must exert significant effort and perform admirably in their upcoming match, as well as battle for a large number of goals in order to dominate. Manchester City now leads the league, but this does not guarantee that they will remain there indefinitely. Arsenal is play against Aston Villa tomorrow, and I'm hoping that they'll find the match fascinating enough to win because it's critical for Arsenal to win their next game.

The contest between Manchester United and Dortmund is still in progress. Dortmund had a 2-1 lead at the end of the first half, but when they returned for the second, Bruno had given Manchester United a point after winning a penalty. However, given Dortmund's success thus far, I don't think Manchester United can win this game. Manchester United only leads by possession because of their poor performance; if not, Dortmund is playing a more compelling game due of their excellent play, which gives me hope that they can win the match.
Manchester City's win today against Luton Town helped them to climb to the top of the English Premier League table for the first time since November. But their position at the top of the league will be short-lived if Liverpool and Arsenal win in their games tomorrow. Liverpool will host Aston Villa tomorrow before the Arsenal game against Aston Villa and considering the performance their opponents when compared to them since the start of the season, it's obvious that both Liverpool and Arsenal stands a good chance of winning their games. This is Jurgen Klopp's last season as a Liverpool manager and I'm sure he knows the consequences of allowing Pep Guardiola's Manchester City to remain at the top of the league after the end of match week 33 of the English Premier League so I expect Liverpool to put outside their disappointing performance against Atalanta ok Thursday and deliver a great performance that'll help them win their game against Crystal Palace tomorrow
