Barcelona has completely lose form, from there defense line to there midfield no position is working imagine what they face on there match against Villarreal, Barcelona was playing like a club that doesn't have focused and also with the performance Villarreal gave them they will not easily forget it.
It's no coincidence or luck on Villarreal side, they strive and won. Barcelona disappointed their fans yesterday; none of us expected the Blaugrana to lose points against Villarreal, which was supposed to be a draw tie; perhaps an entirely distinct conclusion was provoked. We wouldn't blame Xavi Hernandez for his speech; he made it apparent that he will leave Camp Nou at the end of the season. He was extremely disgruntled with the team's performance against Villarreal, which detected them come from behind 2-0 to lead 3-2 and finish 5-3, an unparalleled humiliation.
Of course, this was not luck for Villareal, but this was the result of their hard work which produced good results and were able to beat Barcelona. Apart from that, Villareal is also very effective in taking advantage of opportunities in front of Barcelona's goal, whereas Barcelona have had problems in their defense in the last few matches, especially as their goalkeeper often concedes goals.

Barcelona's defeat to Villareal made Xavi realize that he had to resign as Barcelona coach at the end of the season considering Barcelona's condition was not improving. In one of his interviews, he even said that even though Barcelona managed to advance far in the UCL League, his decision to resign as Barcelona coach was final.
Barca deserve to lose because of several factors. As usual every match day seems like a new disaster for Barcelona. Villareal played with more intensity, and Barcelona did try their best, but it wasn't good enough. Their goalkeeper had a really bad day today, making not even a single save for a shot on target from Villarreal's side. Villarreal seems like a team that every LaLiga team is using to collect free 3 points from Barca.

If Xavi doesn't make his way out himself at this stage, otherwise, Barca management will kick him out. Fortunately, Xavi recognizes that he can't manage as Barcelona's coach anymore.

England inning finally comes to an end with 230 run lead, Ollie Pope goes last at 196 with rather unnecessary shot, I mean all shots that player gets out can be called unnecessary, but the back swoop he tried to play was completely avoidable.

From looks of it i'm drifting towards India to win this match, if England can get early wickets, we'll see interesting chase.

Sad to see Pope missing out of his double century by only 4 runs. The guy had put some good efforts to reach to those runs and get England out of trouble. It has been a good innings from him and now it is time for the England bowlers to defend 230 runs if they want to win the first test match. Indian batters have now a small target to chase and it shouldn't be a struggle for the batters.
An exceptional innings has concluded, but unfortunately, the batsman played an unusual shot to get out. Nevertheless, this is the highest total from an English batter in the second innings in India! India dropped him twice with easy catches, but he has given his team a sporting chance. If England had a quality spinner, they would have easily won this. I still believe India will chase this low total.

Bayern finally is winning a game on easy terms but once again , the football style they are practicing is really not enjoyable to watch...at least in Bundesliga.
At least they are leading for now and hasnt won the game against Augsburg , right there is the halftime.
And who know what will happen in the second half , anything can come but i hope for my placed bet that Bayern Munich will be win this game.



Kane scores the third goal,
Augsburg 1-3 Bayern Munich

At this stage, it's not enjoyable to watch Bayern. Regardless, Bayern is in the lead at this moment against Augsburg, hopefully securing the three points. Keep pushing for more wins, and best of luck.

Duranta Dhaka  vs  Rangpur Riders

Duranta Dhaka won the toss and decided to field against Rangpur Riders. In this year's BPL, each team has won the toss and decided on the fielding. I have never seen a team win the toss and bat first.

While Duranta Dhaka won their first match against Comilla, Dhaka lost against Chattogram in their second match. On the other hand Rangpur team won only one match out of their three matches. Rangpur players are not in good form. So I consider the Dhaka team as the favorite today. Despite having experienced players like Brandon King, Babar Azam, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai and Sakib, the performance of this team is poor. Let's see if they can play well today.
Today, Rangpur Riders entered the field against the great Dhaka in their fourth match. After losing the toss, Rangpur Riders are batting first where Rangpur Riders have collected 95 runs so far. Rangpur Riders batted for 95 runs in 12 overs in which they lost two wickets. Babar Azam is batting with confidence today and we might see another fifty from him today. Having lost two matches in the first three matches, Rangpur Riders are already in a bad position in the points table, so the best team in BPL will definitely want to win today's match. Since Rangpur Riders managed to accumulate 95 runs in the first over, it is expected that Rangpur will score 100 runs in the last eight overs as they still have enough wickets.

Babar Azam is near to a century, but at the same time, only 3 overs are left and in these three overs he should made 38 runs to complete his century.
Let's see if will he complete this or not but I hope that he will do and in these last overs, he always played very well, maybe for his century he will start to hit boundaries again and again. At the current, just Babar Azam was out, and in these innings he played very well, he was out by  Gunathilaka, and this ball caught by SM Meherob. He was out at 16th over the third ball.
Babar Azam hit his second fifty in just three innings in the BPL. While he couldn't prolong his innings further, it was a healthy contribution to his side. Rangpur's innings concluded, and after 20 overs, they set a decent total on the board. Dhaka now needs 184 runs to win. I believe the target is enough for Rangpur to defend. So, Rangpur are favorites to win.

Regardless of the game, Barcelona lost against Atletico Bilbao, that was a very bad day because now Xavi is under more pressure and he is even near to getting fired because of losing the game with a 4-2 result and we can't forget that Xavi lost the game against Real Madrid with the bad result too.
But other than the result of this match, Alejandro Balde the effective player of Barcelona got injured it seems he is hardly injured, even there is the possibility for Alejandro Balde to have surgery and if this happens Xavi will be under more pressure.
Alejandro Balde left the game against Atletico Bilbao while crying.



If you look at the Atletico Bilbao, they don't have high-profile players or spend much on players, but only coach's ability to make them play as a team with a clear idea and vision stands out. Barca clearly isn't in good rhythm. The next elimination might be from the UCL, and their super four is not confirmed yet. If such bad things continue, Xavi should be fired. This poor barca already facing difficulties, and another big blow for them as Alejandro Balde got injured against against Atletico Bilbao match. His injury is worse than expected and requires surgery. According to reports, his season is over, which doesn't good for Barca. It's a disastrous season for Barca so far, and there's no way to boost up this team.

I am impressed by the batting performance of the Indian team because every batsman is responsible, they are good enough to play the test match because the players of the Indian team have performed for a long time keeping the wickets. But in the same way if I compare then England team got all out on the first day they did not show patient players. In England's poor performance throughout the season, India gave away a 157-run lead in the first innings. Team India has accumulated a total of 403 runs so far with the fall of only seven wickets which is useful for the team to perform more. The team is full of reliable players till the last batsman and is very responsible in team formation.

The test match of India vs England is played at Hyderabad and according to the current situation, I think the Indian team bat today and tomorrow they declare their innings because, at this time, they made too high score and England bowlers can't take wickets of their player who are present to play.

India's team crossed 380 runs, and at that time, 14 overs are left to play and I think as they play they can easily be made 500 plus runs. Now the day has ended with 421 runs with 7 wickets down. The team of England started to take wickets but they picked it slowly not too fast so I think India will declare their innings tomorrow.

It's been a tough day for England in Hyderabad. India is currently at the top, 175 runs ahead of England at the end of Day 2. This isn't particularly surprising or exciting. England struggles in these conditions, lacking a quality spinner to capitalize on the opportunity. There's no variation, and it seems unlikely to change the situation at this stage. It's all over but bat ruling, therefore India will continue their batting on Day 3.

Ok so where Klopp is going next?

Manchester United?
I'm devastated; I just can't express how I feel. Liverpool will miss him terribly, and I wish him and his family all the best in the next adventure. I guess Bayern is waiting for him. Tuchel won't be there next season if he bottles in the Bundesliga. A good option is either there or the national team.

but this type of announcement should have waited until the season ends, not when the team's momentum for the season is on a trajectory. I fear this might negatively affect performance. Liverpool will struggle without him. He has been very unlucky not to win the league title on at least two more occasions, but he is one of the best modern-day managers anyway.

If the players of England U19 team can finish the whole innings, England U19 team may have a chance to score big. England U19 batting is not very good.  England Under 19 has so far collected 120 in 28.3 overs, losing 5 wickets.  England U19 batsmen are under pressure from West Indies U19 bowlers. Under the pressure of strong bowling of West Indies under 19 team, the batsmen of England under 19 team are not able to bat well. Now let's see if the England U19 batsmen can handle the pressure from the West Indies U19 bowlers.

pressure is building up. England U19 is batting cautiously, having lost their 6th wicket. It looks like West Indies U19 made the right decision by choosing to field after winning the toss. Everything is going in favor of West Indies U19 so far, but England U19 batter Hamza Shaikh is putting up a fight for his team. West Indies U19 needs to take Hamza's wicket quickly.

I doubt it honestly because there is no way Liverpool performance can be compare with Chelsea when it has become obvious that Chelsea is very inconsistent on this season while Liverpool has been able to have been leading the premier League, so if perhaps Chelsea was better than Liverpool on this premier League they would have been leading the table instead of Liverpool.

Agreed. Liverpool and Chelsea look technically no match in performance now. They got a draw against each other at Stamford Bridge before though. But it was the 1st week of the season at the same time. It isn't sensible to make assumptions from that week as a result.

But Salah won't be able to play against Chelsea in their upcoming duel - which is only 6 days away. This changes things a lot as Salah is a crucial member of the team. I think Liverpool might have more problems on scoring multiple goals depending on Chelsea's defense.

What do you think?

Liverpool are a very good and important team at the moment, and Liverpool have performed well throughout the season. Liverpool most important player at the moment is Mohamed Salah, if Mohamed Salah does not participate in the game, Liverpool team will definitely face danger. Because Mohamed Salah, the most important player in the attacking department, can't do it properly if he doesn't get into the team. No matter how strong Liverpool goalkeepers and defenders are, Liverpool are in danger when their attack department is weak.

Excited about this upcoming game! Both Liverpool and Chelsea bring class, flair, and the true essence of football to their fans. Liverpool has a good chance of winning if their key players are available, but it won't be a walk in the park. Interestingly, Chelsea tends to perform well against Liverpool but often ends up with a draw or a loss. As a football fan, I hope this time the outcome will different. I won't jump to congratulate Liverpool just yet; matchday scenarios can always bring surprises.

Currently, we are having second quarterfinal of the Copa del Rey between Mallorca vs Girona at the end of first half we have shocking results as Girona is trailing by 3–0 against a team which is currently 15th in La Liga league table and things are looking most chances now they will be eliminated from this cup, and we will have Mallorca into last four with Real Sociedad already advance into last four, and we have two quarterfinals remaining with Barcelona going to face Athletic Bilbao and Atlético Madrid going to face Sevilla for their spots into last four, but this current match is surely going to have another poor result from Girona after having draw against Almeria at home which give them big setback for their hopes to win La Liga in this season.
Oh, my God! this is too crazy and how can Girona concede 3 goals in just the first half and this is one of their worst performances of the season. I'm not quite sure that Girona will be able to turn things around with the remaining time in the second half, but if they equalize, it's still possible, even with that much difference, and it could be continued through extra time to determine who will go through.

Girona still has their mainstay striker on the bench who also recorded a hat trick last week against Sevilla in La Liga and I think Arthem Dovbyk is the solution to the problems Girona is currently facing. I know that coach Michel wants to rest some of his players but unfortunately this makes them vulnerable to conceding goals. Yan Couto, who is a right-back, is also on the bench in this match and I think he can contribute with his assists in the second half if he comes on as a supersub.
Looking at the current development of Girona's game, it is a bit surprising that they conceded three goals in the first half against Mallorca, but in my opinion maybe they did not appear at full strength in this match. And it is true that the Girona coach has made several substitutions and has now managed to score one goal via a penalty after a Mallorca player fouled a Girona player and received a red card. With a one player advantage, will Girona be able to recover with just 15 minutes remaining before the end of the second half. let's watch
I'm not surprised that Girona lost to Mallorca 3-2 in their Copa del Rey match. Maybe Girona doesn't want to contest for the Copa del Rey this season; they just want to stay focused on winning their La Liga matches to have a chance of lifting the La Liga trophy from Real Madrid this season.
It sounds non sense to say girona was not willing to compete in copa del rey. Any teams will be so happy in winning the competition and trophy. It's caused by the trophy can be used as a proof if team has been slowly developing even better. Why did girona participate in copa del rey if it was not willing to get the trophy? girona is just facing another disaster caused by mallorca was leading the game with 3 goals. The bad thing girona was not able to equalizing the goals scored by mallorca in the first half. It's a set back for girona in this case.

The club can't even perform better compared when it was playing in la liga. It's such a disgrace for the club caused by it was missing a lot of opportunities. I meant that girona has been wasting opportunity to perform better than before.

yeah, they are a great team, so why not aim to win the Copa del Rey! They were not serious about it, and this is not a new excuse btw.
Girona has been eliminated from the Copa del Rey by 10-man Mallorca. Despite being one man down at the 67th minute, girona failed to capitalize on the chances as they missed couple of opportunities. Mallorca was 3-0 up in the first half, and breaking down their defense proved challenging. Anyway, Girona will now shift their focus solely to the league. Today's loss might not matter much if they can secure the La Liga title at the end of the season. However, winning La Liga remains a dream for Girona, with Real Madrid being the favorites.

England won the toss and choose to bat first. India went with three spinners and two pace bowlers. That is a good strategy as Indian pitches do support  spin bowling. Patidar is not part of the playing team. I saw Shubhman Gill coming in the position where Kohli bats. The form that he is in now, I am not sure whether taking him was a good decision.

I have lost faith in the England team as they have performed poorly throughout the season. So I don't support England team in today's game, because they are not patient players. They have lost with a huge margin even with the normal teams, that's why I think India is strong in today's test match. Farooq's team has reliable batting in Test matches, so if India can put up a good bowling performance today, they can all out England in the first innings on the first day.


Both openers are playing well against the Indian bowling attack. They have not lost a single wicket and are nearing 50 runs. The pitch is not giving any assistance to the pacers it is just flat for now. Later in the day, the spinners might get some assistance. As of now England is batting aggressively and is not facing any issues.

55/0 to 60/3

The game takes a different turn when spinners come into play. Indian spinners Ashwin and Jadeja made a breakthrough, taking three quick wickets for the home side. It could be a combination of good bowling and poor shot selection. England needs to approach the game with more pragmatism. As usual, Indian spinners might pose a challenge for England's batting.

Nepal is not a very strong team. Even so, a descent of 198 runs allowed them to deliver a target. If the bowlers did well, Nepal had a chance to win. But it seems that Pakistan team does not want to lose this match in any way. Pakistan collected 151 runs in 40 overs losing 4 wickets. They still need 47 runs in the last 10 overs. If the Nepalese bowlers can take the wickets of Azan and Hassan in quick succession, then they have a chance to win. Nepal cannot win if these two batsmen stay at the crease.
Azan Awais fought hard until the end to confirm victory for his team. Nepal had a chance to get back into the game if they had taken the wickets of Azan and Hassan. Awais was awarded the Player of the Match for his resilient innings of unbeaten 63 innings. Pakistan played cautiously as the target was not too large. Initially, Nepal performed well, and it seemed like they would set a significant target, but something went wrong for them later on. Despite expecting to lose, the Nepalese fought hard to keep today's match alive. And I love that, that's the spirit.

After rarely getting playing minutes at Manchester City, Kalvin Philips finally moved to West Ham on loan. This agreement is valid until the end of this season and there is a purchase option clause for West Ham. I think it's time for Kalvin Philips to start forgetting Manchester City because the competition there is very tight with other players and it's not that Kalvin Philips is bad, it's just that under Pep Guardiola he wasn't the first choice.

If his performance is convincing at West Ham then he will definitely be made permanent and at least that would be better for his career while he is still competing in England. Even if in the end he has to return to Manchester City then he will only be a bench warmer again and that will make his career not shine again. Well, congratulations to Kalvin Philips, he took the right steps before it was too late.
David Moyes had been consistently observing Kalvin Phillips before his return to West Ham. Moyes attempted to secure Phillips' signature during the same summer he joined Manchester City. However, Phillips opted to work with Pep Guardiola at Man City, despite the intense competition for playing time. It turned out that he wouldn't have the regular playing opportunities he desired at Man City due to the stiff competition.
Anyway, this acquisition is considered a positive move for West Ham. Kalvin Phillips is recognized for his outstanding skills in defensive midfield, a strong work ethic, and being a genuinely nice person. Joining West Ham provides him with the chance to regain regular playing time and further secure his place in the international setup. Best of luck to Phillips at West Ham.

While Leverkusen are able to beat Leipzig away in a tough game Bayern Munich are even struggling against Werder Bremen. I wonder why there is some loss of concentration for Bayern Munich players at the moment.
Bayern Munich has completely lost form because for Werder Bremen to have won them on there last match even with the home advantage of Bayern Munich I knew that Bayern Munich is no longer on there good form but however I'm still surprised with how Bayern Munich has suddenly started depreciating in times of performance because it was not long ago they were performing so well and very consistent in there wining but with the poor performance they have now they have completely make things very easy for Bayern Leverkusen because right now Bayern Leverkusen has more points than Bayern Munich and there is no way Bayern Munich will beat them on the table.
As Bayern Munich loses its strong position, Bayer Leverkusen emerges as a well-organized and determined team. Leverkusen has maintained an undefeated record throughout the season so far, fostering confidence, unity, and harmony within the team. This is undoubtedly a delightful experience for Bayer Leverkusen. Currently leading the Bundesliga with a comfortable point gap over Bayern Munich, Leverkusen has performed exceptionally well. While it's a great job so far, the real success will be celebrated when they secure the title at the end of the season. Their competitiveness makes them strong contenders, and I'm confident they can be crowned champions this season.

I think Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Tottenham have the same big chance of getting tickets to the Champions League next season because all three have performances that I think are at an equal level for now. So it is quite difficult to predict which one of the three teams will come out of the top 4. It is likely that the factors that will determine who will remain in the top 4 when the season ends are good strategies and solutions when dealing with injury and fatigue.
The competition to get the champions league zone next season is very tense and these 3 teams both don't want to lose in winning that place. Maybe now it is clear that Liverpool and Manchester City are the top two teams that have managed to secure the Champions League zone and now the remaining two are up for grabs. It is not certain that Arsenal will be safe considering that this season is much more difficult with Aston Villa breaking into the top flight and Spurs may not be able to move freely because this season is still an improvement after last season they were unable to secure a place in the Champions League.

Maybe it's true that strategy and preventing players from getting injured are two things that can't be separated if you want to remain consistent, but I don't think it's easy considering the busy schedule that a team that is still active in other European competitions will have to go through. In this case, Arsenal is a quite busy team because they have to divide their schedule with the EPL and Champions League.

The upcoming matches are crucial and seem to define the season at this point. Liverpool and Manchester City have secured their places in the Champions League zone. The remaining two spots are open for any team, and for Arsenal, every game is now like a final chance. With key players returning from injuries, things are about to change. Arsenal can't afford to lose matches at this stage, and the most crucial one is against Nottingham Forest. Arsenal must secure a victory in that game. While they've been vulnerable lately, they need to power through every match to accumulate as many points as possible.

Brisbane Heat Vs Sydney Sixers in today's final match of Bigg Boss League. Meanwhile, the first innings of the Bigg Boss final match has ended. In the first innings, Brisbane Heat batted and set Sydney Sixers a target of 167 runs. Brisbane Heat batsmen batted very well in today's final match. Now in the second innings game, if the players of the Brisbane Heat team can perform well in bowling, Brisbane Heat can easily win today's final match against the Sixers. I am hopeful that Brisbane Heat will be crowned champions in today's final match.

Hahaha  Cheesy this is not a Bigg boss show this is Big Bash League. Anyways, this match is stil ongoing on crease and Sydney Sixers seem to be in very difficult situation and their chance of winning are also looking very weak and Brisbane Heat sqaud bowlers put lot of pressure on them. Sydney Sixers sqaud needs 64 scores for victory in 24 deliveries which seem very difficult job Sidney Sixers to defeat this target and they also have low wickets for play. If those batters currently batting on crease hit some power shots and collect good scores then there might be a possibility for Sydney Sixers sqaud to victory. Brisbane Heat sqaud also collected very challenging scores 166 as defeating target and also it's bowling performance incredible.

Edited: sadly Sydney Sixers squad lost this match by 54 scores and Brisbane Heat sqaud beated all batters of Sydney Sixers and Finished this match and emerged victory.
Brisbane Heat is on fire! Congratulations to them for securing the trophy. Brown's leadership in batting, later Barlett and Spencer Johnson's disciplined bowling, made it a tough job for Sydney Sixers to chase the target. Sixers should reevaluate their batting lineup, especially the performances of Hughes and Edwards, which are worrying. Opting to field first, despite the playoffs' trend of winning while batting, turned out to be a poor decision that cost them the game.

Simone Inzaghi must be able to convince his team that they are capable of being at the highest level. I know that Inter Milan last season managed to become runners up in the UCL because they were able to qualify for the UCL final and were ultimately defeated by Manchester City, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve to qualify. to the final again this season, well despite the challenge they will meet quite tough opponents Atletico Madrid in the round of 16 of the UCL later.
A coach convinces his players about strength of squad, I don't think so to be honest. Inter Milan in the last four seasons, belong to strongest clubs in Serie A and won one Scudetto. Past season, they had a Champions League final match and did not play too bad against the champion Manchester City.

Both coach and players of Inter Milan fully aware about their strength and they are showing it in Serie A. In Champions League, it will be more complicated with knock out format. The opponent of Inter Milan in round of 16 is Atletico Madrid that is not easy for Inter Milan. They have nearly similar chance to win because they have similar quality and experience in Champions League. Inter Milan looks to have a little bit higher than the opponent because they have better form in domestic league.
Inter secures a third consecutive Super Cup, showcasing a true World Champion mentality, and this time thanks to Lautaro Martinez's winning goal in the 91st minute.

Kudos to Simone Inzaghi for the remarkable work he has done with Inter. I had faith in him from the beginning, and under his guidance, Inter has become much stronger. This team has the ability to dismantle any opponent, whether playing at home or away. Inter is in excellent form and has the potential to reach the UCL final once again this year. The upcoming UCL clash against Atletico Madrid promises to be thrilling, with both teams embracing a similar football philosophy. Can't wait to see the showdown!

In the match between NZ U19 and AFG U19, AFG batted first and bowled out on 91 runs. Only 2 batsmen and extras are in the double digits. Matt Rowe bowled beautifully for his five-wicket haul. Chasing a low target, NZ U19's top order collapsed, and they are now 6 down and need another 13 runs to win the match. AFG bowlers fought well this far. NZ captain is the ray of hope for them in this run chase. NZ should win this match as they only required 13.
A lucky win for NZ U19s, a tough luck for Afghanistan U19s.
Afghanistan's under-19 spinners showed great resilience in defending a low total. At one point, it seemed they were on the verge of successfully defending it, but New Zealand's under-19 team managed to secure a narrow victory with just 1 wicket remaining.
but, I'm optimistic that Afghanistan U19s will continue to shine in spin bowling, much like their senior team. The future looks bright for Afghanistan.

How the Black stars let loose of their guard and got eliminated is still not clear to me because the black stars are usually seen in how the pride in their prowess in African football, as at the 70rh minute of the game, they still had a chance of qualifying to the round of sixteen but the forgot that it's not over until it actually is, they became reluctant since they were already lead a weak side by two goals a d to their greatest surprised they ended the game not been able to qualify for the next rounds of the game.

It's really fun back here in the AFCON because I don't know what else to call it if not fun to the fact that the teams presumed as bigger are now acting weak and even getting eliminated, even the super eagles the home of the current African best player isn't fantastic with their performance.
what a dreadful performance! The embarrassing exit is hard to swallow. Two quick goals in added time shattered the dreams of the Black Stars. While they still have a slim chance to qualify, this time they don't seem to deserve it for any reason.
Mozambique once again goes unnoticed, defying expectations as if it were not part of the African continent. The underdog beating the heavyweight clearly shows that no team is above being undefeated. Many average teams have drastically improved, and no team has a 100% probability of winning. This is by far the best AFCON ever. It keeps you on your toes until the last minute, and you never know what will happen next. The predictions, about 99% of them, have proven to be strongly wrong.
