421  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New opinion of PlanB on: January 13, 2024, 03:41:20 AM
It looks impossible we will see $500K in the next year, I won't put a big expectation. I'm expecting $100K we be achieved in the next year, hopefully $200K if ETFs do give a lot impact for people to not fear invest in Bitcoin.

We shouldn't forget PlanB was incorrect predicting the last ATH will hit $100K when the reality it only reached $69K.
Although his prediction of $100K in 2021 was not completely accurate, at least bitcoin reached $69K. That means if his prediction is $500k for the upcoming bull season then bitcoin could also reach $300k or more according to his model.

To be fair, when we think about the $500k goal, it's actually a very large and unlikely goal, but the future is something no one can predict. It may or may not happen, and I don't think we should jump to conclusions and be certain about it. Personally, I still believe that the upcoming bull season will be the biggest bull super cycle ever.

However, Pakistan's batsmen batted enough  well. At least the performance of their batsmen was better in this match compared to previous matches. And if the batsmen continue to bat like this, the upcoming matches will be very competitive.
It was a batting friendly pitch today. Australia had won against New Zealand in this stadium by chasing a big target of 244 runs in T20. Pakistan players were batting well today from the start, but they just kept losing their wickets. The last T20 series had ended as a draw between Pakistan and New Zealand which was held in Pakistan. New Zealand had made a bowling friendly pitch against Bangladesh in the T20 series, where they have made a batting friendly pitch against Pakistan today. Perhaps, we will see similar pitch in the whole series.

Despite being a batting friendly pitch, the performance of Pakistan's batsmen has been erratic in recent times. Even so, the Pakistan team got off to a very good start. If they could maintain this consistency then they had a chance to win the match. Pakistan collected 100 runs in the first 9 overs, but they lost three wickets. In the 16th, 17th and 18th overs, Pakistan lost two wickets in each over consecutively. And they lost the match. Pakistan would have been able to beat New Zealand in this match had they not lost quick wickets or had Rizwan and Babar Azam stayed at the crease.

From the beginning of the first innings, the New Zealand team played well and scored more runs. From the beginning to the end, the New Zealand team players put up a great batting performance which led to a huge score. 226 runs in a T20 match is not a small thing, but it is a huge collection as we have seen in many ODIs and also in Test matches some teams have not scored so many runs this season. But there today New Zealand team collected 226 runs against Pakistan T20 match. Although Pakistan performed a little better in the beginning, they did not do so well towards the end and were bowled out for 180 runs. Fortunately Pakistan team lost today against New Zealand team although if Pakistan could have improved their batting performance a bit more today they could have come a little closer but in the end they lost the result.

Despite batting slowly in the first two overs, New Zealand's batsmen started aggressive batting after that. New Zealand's batsmen have done a great performance in this match. Each batsman batted at a decent strike rate. Finn Allen scored 34 runs off 15 balls and Daryl Mitchell scored 61 runs off 27 balls. Also Williamson's innings of 57 runs was much needed. New Zealand's bowlers were also pressure free after being given a big target of 227 runs. They got a big win by 46 runs. However, Pakistan's batsmen batted enough  well. At least the performance of their batsmen was better in this match compared to previous matches. And if the batsmen continue to bat like this, the upcoming matches will be very competitive.
424  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your predictions for the state of Bitcoin in 2024? on: January 12, 2024, 03:30:15 AM
Same state, it will have its ups and down in price because of its volatility.

Now since Bitcoin ETF has been approved, I believe we should expect something good, like making another new all time high this year. But since the market is always unpredictable, we don't know what's gonna happen next. All we could do is to watch if you're a holder, trade with caution if you're a trader, and don't even FOMO if you're planning to invest in Bitcoin.

After this announcement, the price of Bitcoin pumped slightly, almost to $49k, and is now experiencing a decline again. some holders or traders may be a little surprised to see such a rapid situation, as there was indeed hope that a pump higher could occur.
some traders may have already benefited from the short pump. but holders are definitely waiting for an even higher pump moment. we are only at the beginning, and still waiting for the next few pumps this year.

The SEC's approval of bitcoin ETFs does not mean that bitcoin will no longer be highly volatile, and it is also normal for bitcoin to rise to $49k and then fall to $46k. I don't understand why people are surprised and disappointed about that.

One thing I see is that people have put too much hope in the ETF and believe that it will help bitcoin increase in price strongly. But for me, I think if everything was easily predictable, then who would buy us high-priced bitcoin? Bitcoin will always be unpredictable.
425  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ETF officially approved! on: January 12, 2024, 03:00:51 AM
Op revisit your link and drop the correct link. Though this is a good news to everyone here who are investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at large. We thank God for this wonderful news. Even the article I read is predicting that ETF will boost Bitcoin to climb $50 billions to $100 billions US dollar. And now everyone in the ecosystem is happy to hear the news but will Bitcoin come down again for the poor to buy again? That should be an another question to answer. Because as it is now the rich people in the world will visit Bitcoin and invest heavily that will make Bitcoin to forget the poor. In 2022 Bitcoin price was on $16,000 and the way I am looking this matter right now, I don't think the price of Bitcoin will come down again though I don't know what will happen in the future but my fear here is that the rich people might not allow the price to come down again. Let see what will happen in the future if Bitcoin.
Perhaps Bitcoin ain't for the poor afterall, but it would mean that the originator of the cryptocurrencies' idea or Bitcoin originator didn't think about the divide within the classes of a society when crypto implementation began. I doubt though because even the poor can afford to buy less amounts than before and hold, which wouldn't be up to a whole coin, that's Sats, but would amount to much in the future.

Finally the ETF approval is one joy too many to recount for Bitcoin enthusiast all around the world. We getting noticed for sure.
Bitcoin is for everyone, including the poor, it has never discriminated against class or skin color. Bitcoin has been around for 15 years, and for the past 15 years people who believe in it have been able to buy it very cheaply. So don't try to blame bitcoin when poor people didn't buy it cheap and now say it's not for poor people. To me, if poor people still don't own bitcoin in the last 15 years, it's their fault, not bitcoin's fault.
Although the value of bitcoin today is very high compared to many years ago, that does not mean that poor people cannot own bitcoin, they still have a chance before it is too late and the decision is up to them.

Sri Lanka VS Zimbabwe 3d ODI

Today is the last match of Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka ODI series. In the second match we saw Zimbabwe set a low run target but their bowling performance was outstanding. Sri Lanka are failing to perform well against the likes of Zimbabwe despite playing at home. Sri Lanka must win today's match to win the series. On the other hand, Zimbabwe will have to win to level the series. Sri Lanka's performance in the second match was not good, so it seems a bit difficult to predict today's match. But today the Sri Lankan players will perform well. But let's see which team can win in the end. And waiting to see if Zimbabwe can surprise everyone.
The third ODI match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe has started today. Meanwhile, the Zimbabwean team entered the field to bat and collected 22 runs in 4 overs. As today Zimbabwe team opening batsmen Gumbie and Kaitano started well. If Bina can perform well till the power play then surely win against Sri Lanka today. Today's Zimbabwe team has enough chances to secure victory. In this field, those who perform well at the start can do well at the end. So no matter how strong the opposing team Sri Lanka is, if Zimbabwe team can give the 300 run target to Sri Lanka team then surely Zimbabwe team can win the third ODI match.
Zimbabwe must win today if they want to  draw the series. However  there is a possibility that the  match will be abandoned. The first match was abandoned due to rain. The  second match was  very competitive, but Sri Lanka managed to win. Today's match is now delayed due to rain.

Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat today. Zimbabwe's collection was 40 runs in 7.4 overs, but Zimbabwe team has not lost any wicket yet. If the match is not abandoned due to rain, maybe Zimbabwe can provide a big target. Although Zimbabwe's openers did not play well in the first two matches, they are batting very well today.

The two openers got off to a good start but the Zimbabwean players could not sustain the momentum. Play resumed after the rain. And the match will be played in 43 overs. However, Zimbabwe lost three wickets very quickly after the match started after rain. After losing the first wicket for 43 runs, they lost the third wicket for 47 runs. And now at the crease are Milton Shumba and SIkandar Raza. Sikandar Raza is not in good form. If he plays well today, perhaps Zimbabwe will be able to provide a decent target.

Although Fulham is a relatively weak team, this match was not easy for Liverpool to win. Several important players of Liverpool were absent in this match. Key players like Mohamed Salah, Szoboszlai, Alexander Arnold, and Endo were out of the squad due to injuries. At the same time, Liverpool players were under a lot of pressure in the first half.
You are right, Fulham did manage to contain Liverpool by not allowing them create goal scoring chances, get less corners etc and they did a great job in the first half...but whatever happened in the dressing room at the break, Fulham went into leap mode and were just off...to make matters worse with the taking of of Willian in the mix these guys all dropped to defend which was a red flag as the best way to defend is to attack which they failed to do and allowed Liverpool back into the game and the rest is history..

Otherwise great comeback for the Reds and showing the quality other players have when theA Listers aren't around.

Although the match was very competitive in the first half, Liverpool dominated the second half. And I would say it is possible because of coach Klopp. He tried to find the weaknesses in Fulham's defense in the first half. And in the second half he made a subtle change in his match strategy. Liverpool benefited from this. They stepped up their attack in the second half. A number of excellent attacks were made by Liverpool's players. And as a result, Fulham was unable to counter Liverpool's attacks even after playing defensive tactics. However, Liverpool were expected to win this match. However, although Fulham is a relatively weak team, their performance was quite organized.

Liverpool vs Fulham 1st leg Liverpool won 2-1 and the game was really interesting. The game was tight from the start and Liverpool were well behind in the first half, when Fulham went ahead with a goal. Although this match is very important for both the teams that is why both the teams played exceptionally well and fought hard to win the match. However, Liverpool took control of the game in the second half and improved their performance, scoring two goals in the second half. Liverpool team attacked more in the second half compared to the first half and managed to score two successful goals which won the match. However, Fulham tried hard enough to equalize the game but could not because Liverpool can attack exceptionally well and are in their best form this season. However, Liverpool went a long way by winning the 1st leg of the semi-final match and Liverpool will surely win the next match and play more aggressively just to get to the final.
Fulham tried to maintain the lead they created in the first half, but they were not strong enough to withstand every attack made by Liverpool in the second half so they had to concede 2 goals and at the same time Liverpool could turn things around. But despite Fulham's defeat in this match, I think they played well and not too disappointing, they put up a fight that made it difficult for Liverpool. If only they had the same composition of players, I'm sure they would be able to at least make this match end in a draw. They played well, but if they always get pressure like that, then sooner or later they will concede and it happened.

Although Fulham is a relatively weak team, this match was not easy for Liverpool to win. Several important players of Liverpool were absent in this match. Key players like Mohamed Salah, Szoboszlai, Alexander Arnold, and Endo were out of the squad due to injuries. At the same time, Liverpool players were under a lot of pressure in the first half. But even then, Liverpool played a completely attacking strategy. Despite being behind 1-0 in the first half, the Liverpool team took the lead in the 68th and 1st minutes of the second half with the goals of JOnes and Gakpo. Liverpool won the home match 2-1, looking forward to see how they perform in the away match. Liverpool are expected to reach the final of the EFL Cup.

I'm happy for Jadon Sancho's decision honestly. Because he had no future at Manchester United with Erik ten Hag because of the problems between them. It is great to see him back at Dortmund as he was playing really amazing there before. Terzic must also be happy to have him. Their season in the Bundesliga hasn't been going on well for them.
Sancho could really make a good impact on the performance of the team here. With his contribution I hope to see Dortmund back in top four at some point. This would save Terzic from the threat of getting sacked at the same time.  Smiley
Is the news official? because I haven't found anything official on the web. However, I agree with what you say, because at Manchester United his talent was wasted and Erik ten hag didn't focus much on him. I'm pleased that Dortmund bet on him, I would have liked to see him in my favorite team, he's a truly excellent player
I don't think if it's official yet but it seems Sancho is very close to joining Dortmund soon. In fact, Sancho can't stay in Manchester United because he knows Ten Hag is not going to give him any time.
Now when Sancho plays for Dortmound is motivated to have a perfect performance and makes Ten hag feel regret when he see Sancho is te good form again.

Yes, the news is official and he is leaving Manchester United and going to Dortmund. Of course, this decision is great for him because Manchester United is not performing well anyway. And of course, I will tell you that he did not have any future at Manchester United. I don't think Manchester United had him as a long-term plan anyway. So yes this is a good decision. But at the same time, I am also thinking that and don't mind is not performing well as well. But definitely an improvement compared to Manchester United in my opinion.

Yes, this is one of the possibilities...

Well I believe... a player that the Lakers need to have to be more consistent and improve the team's performance is a high quality PG/SG.
LAL has 2 allstar players in different positions, for example, LeBron James (SG/SF/PF) and AD (PF/C), a type of player that could fit into LAL would be a high quality PG/SG, This way, LJ could play as SF or PF and help with the team's rotation by playing in other positions.
D'Angelo Russell is a good player, but in my opinion I believe he didn't fit in very well with the Lakers as expected (of course that's my opinion).

Yes, I also think that he is not a bad player but he didn't fit in well with the team. And I think other teams might be interested in him even after him not being very well in his current team. And that is the reason I think his team might push to trade him, and it might work out well for both parties included. For me it makes sense.

I am not sure what Lakers could offer to get Mitchell, or Lavine to be fair but at least Lavine is not doing anything so he could be traded for not much in order for Bulls to potentially tank, whereas it doesn't make sense at all for Mitchell to leave, Cavs are doing fine.
It makes sense because Mitchell has already made it clear he won't resign with the Cavs, so it's a trade him or lose him scenario.

An interesting statement from Kevin Durant saying he doesn't want to be traded.  I guess he's been doing a lot of complaining lately and wanted to make it clear that he wants to be on the Suns now that trade rumors are starting to heat up and even mock trades happening online.  There's an article about it I've pasted below.  I don't think the Suns will trade KD unless it's for AD from the Lakers which won't happen.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/kevin-durant-i-don-t-want-to-get-traded/ar-AA1mLjnu

when the player has expressed the intention of staying in the team it will be better for the team to keep him in the team. Because probably now the player feels good in the team and if they bring in a new player he won't be able to do as well as him. And it is always a risk. Now if they get a player that is really good like AD, then it makes sense as you said but otherwise, I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense to be honest.

I believe it will be better if they keep him. If they take an initiative to actually trade him it might not be the best decision because the player clearly doesn't wanna leave.

On the time that you are becoming that impulsive and on the time that you are spending up more money than usual then this is a solid indicative sign that you are already addicted to gambling on which it would really be just that too obvious basing up on the things that you are currently doing or something an addict that really done. This is why people do really messes up their lives just because they are really that going into those decisions on which it isnt really that even realistic. For sure they would be thinking about making themselves getting rich via doing  gambling on which we know that it cant really be just that possible not unless if you are really that extremely luck and able to hit up some jackpots. About educational parades showing those results of addiction
then it isnt a bad initiative on which this could somewhat open other peoples eyes and make them realize of it about the risks of gambling.
When someone gambles more often, they will spend a lot of money and cannot prevent themselves from experiencing more and more losses. People will mess up their lives because they want to win even though it is difficult to obtain. And this slot game has made many people play it more and more often.

They want to experience getting the big multipliers they often see in promotional advertisements from casinos. If they can't control themselves, they will fall deeper into gambling. Instead of experiencing the same thing as that person, we should learn to control ourselves. That will prevent us from experiencing the same thing as that gambler.

We have to think realistically if we want to make money. We can look for work so we can make money. We don't need to gamble because it can cause us to lose a lot of money. The educational parade would probably be beneficial if there were more education about the dangers of gambling among the public. This requires awareness from the public so that they can limit their gambling activities.

Yes, a significant problem of the harm that can be caused by excessive gambling. Naturally, the temptation to win and get money in gambling is terrible and it can lead people down a bad path.  Employment is the biggest way to earn money in an honest way. In this case the government should take action through various educational initiatives that can educate the public about the bad aspects of gambling and encourage them to earn in an honest way and behave responsibly. It is very important to make people aware of it, inform them about its dire consequences,  and help them return to the good path when people themselves do not understand many things.

The ATP and WTA issued new rules for match schedules to minimize matches finishing late and is also conducting a review of ball use strategies because we know that there are quite a lot of complaints from players regarding these two things.
https://www.atptour.com/en/news/match-scheduling-tennis-balls-release-january-2024

I just hope that whatever they do, they do not destroy the competitive integrity of the game. I believe this is the second most physical sport ever after football. Now of course players are complaining for a reason. And it's not like some random dude complaining because he cannot play. These are professionals we are talking about. So of course this matter should be looked into.
The one thing there should be concerned about is the player's help. The players are already going through a lot. And injuries are also very common right now. So I just hope that in a way of trying to decrease the match time, they do not put more pressure on the players.

Breaking News!

Bad news has come for Leverkusen because their mainstay striker this season, Victor Boniface, is reportedly injured and will be out for 6 weeks. The player from Nigeria also had to miss AFCON and I think this is a loss experienced by Nigeria and Leverkusen because they have to lose a very important figure in the competition. Victor Boniface has a right muscle-tendon injury and will undergo surgery in the next few days.

It seems that the intensity of the existing competition meant he had to step aside early before AFCON and the Bundesliga at the start of this year. Once again, Victor Boniface is a victim of the national competition he has to play for and previously we knew at Leverkusen he had no injury problems at all. Obviously this will be the biggest loss for Leverkusen because they lost the spearhead of their attack while currently topping the standings.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1744726883022045341
This is like what happened to Sadio Mane when he played for Bayern Munich and was injured so he couldn't play for Senegal in the Qatar World Cup, and both of them were quite disadvantaged by what Mane experienced, but the case is a little bit different.
Bayer Leverkusen certainly does not expect this because the club really hopes that he will always be fit to continue to help his team achieve victory in league matches, and when it comes to plays against Leipzig and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga match and the DFB Cup quarter-final against Stuttgart it will be very difficult for Leverkusen without Boniface.

Victor Boniface is a very important striker of Leverkusen. He scored 16 goals and 7 assists in 16 matches. He played very well. But we must not forget that the Leverkusen team is not dependent on any particular player this season. Victor Boniface scored 16 goals. However, the Leverkusen team is not completely dependent on Victor Boniface. Xabi Alonso is quite an experienced coach. He will surely find a worthy replacement for Victor Boniface. However, I don't think Leverkusen's performance will suffer much if a suitable replacement is not found. I am still optimistic about Leverkusen's consistent performance.

Chelsea dominated the game but squandered a host of chances, with Cole Palmer particularly wasteful. Now Middlesbrough now have a slender advantage ahead of the return meeting at Stamford Bridge, then Chelsea can get the chance to right the wrongs in two weeks when they host the replay. I think Chelsea are even very lucky that the goal difference isn’t much. They will have the chance to put things right in the second leg. If the result of this match doesn't make you want to sign a world-class striker I don't know what will. Honestly, no team will win anything with players who can't finish.
The faith for Chelsea winning the match was datched out by the players who obviously missed alot of chances to make that goal record that could have put Chelsea in the best possible position to have won the match, but with the level of missed chances during the match, it further pushes us to the point to conclude that Chelsea as a club has lost it position as the one-time champions who have delivered and expected to recover asap from the previous crisis that has rocked the club for some time now which have resulted into this current players demotivation.
Many of Chelsea fans have given up on the club's ability to make something good out of this season, and just like the last season, no hope of recovery for the club as it stance right now, Chelsea is gradually losing out, and the speed at which that is happening is quite alarming.

As the performance of the Chelsea team is very erratic. So it is difficult to say when this team will win any match. Chelsea have yet to win against a team like Middlesburg in the EFL Cup. Chelsea's squad is not weak at all. They are strong enough and play well. But Chelsea's match strategy is not good. So the Chelsea team is not able to dominate even against relatively weak teams. Chelsea may try to strengthen their squad in the winter transfer window. But I would say Chelsea need a more experienced coach right now. Unless the coach is experienced, there is very little change in Chelsea's situation.

Chelsea will play against Fulham in the next Premier League match. Fulham team is also relatively weak. Even then, it is not certain whether Chelsea will win.

With the trade deadline less than a month away now the talk is starting to heat up. I’m seeing a lot of reports that the Lakers have started discussions with the Cavaliers about trading for Donovan Mitchell. It seems like we’re likely to see Mitchell or Zach LaVine in a Lakers uniform in a few weeks.
Mitchell could be a good fit for the Lakers if they are looking for a dynamic guard. However, I don't see that Cavaliers are gonna let their star player that gave the team some toughness, so most likely it will be Zach Lavine that will be traded with the Lakers as the latter have showed interest on not playing with the Bulls.
I believe that both are interesting options that could be traded to the Lakers, but I imagine that Donovan Mitchell would be an excellent piece that would fit within the Los Angeles Lakers, he could easily play as PG or SG in LAL, although Zach LaVine is a another interesting player.
But regarding the possibilities, I believe it is easier for Lavine to be traded than Mitchell, I have no doubt that the Cavs will want a high price for their star player.

Regarding this possible negotiation... Which player(Lakers) could be traded? D'Angelo Russell? Reaves? Hachimura? others?

Is not Russell the one to trade? I think it will be better if they trade him instead of the other players.
But of course, do let me know if I am wrong. The age difference is not a lot between them, right? They are basically almost the same age as each other.

So that should not be something to take into consideration in my opinion. The quality is the only thing everyone is probably going to look for. And of course, every team is going to try to get/keep the best players for themselves. And this is definitely an interesting situation.

However Bayern Leverkusen is leading with 42 points while Bayern Munich is currently 38 points and however the Bayern Leverkusen upcoming matches is a very sure win match for them because there performance is far better than those clubs and at the same time making Bayern Munich chances of entering the first position very impossible for them.
Indeed, until today the unbeaten record is still owned by Leverkusen. But with the condition of the difference in points not much I think there will still be many opportunities for Bayern Munich. There will still be many matches and surprises. In addition, the transfer season will change a lot of circumstances and strength. I admire Leverkusen but I'm not sure they can win. I think this will last until the end of the season. The championship will probably be decided by the end of the season.
The dominance of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga is very strong, comparable to Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency market. They have a powerful image in our minds. I sometimes doubt if Bayer Leverkusen can maintain the title race until the end of the season. Last season, Bayern Munich performed worse. If Bayer Leverkusen had put up a similar performance last season, they could have become the champions of the Bundesliga. However, things might not be easy for them this season.

I agree with you. Bayern Munich are still favorites to win the title. It is true that Leverkusen are still performing very well. The Leverkusen team has not yet faced defeat in any match. However, I have considerable doubts whether the Leverkusen team can maintain such a consistent performance until the end of the season. But Xabi Alonso is very hardworking. At the same time Leverkusen team is not dependent on any specific player. So the team is able to consistently perform well. Every player in the team tries their best from their position to perform well.

Both Juventus and Inter Milan are putting in a lot of effort to ensure that they continue to play well. Both teams are capable of winning the league title, but Inter Milan is the clear favourite because no team has defeated them thus far this season. Juventus is also playing well and is ahead of Inter Milan by a few points, but I still don't think they can win the league title.

Regarding Napoli, I don't think they can win any trophies this season because it is very certain that they will be unable to do so. Last season, Napoli was the favourite team in the serie A league, but this season, they really let people down with their play; they are the team that didn't sell out many players and even their best players don't look good. Napoli is currently in ninth place in the league table, so it is not even safe to say that they will be in the Europa League.
Juventus is working very hard and in a convincing way, we can`t say the same for Milan, I see them limping and not convincing either in their play or in their results. Napoli, well, for me they don`t even reach the cups this year, i mean cup`s zone (cause points).

Inter Milan are the favorites to win the Serie A title this season. Juventus team is strong but their performance is a bit weak compared to Inter Milan. And I would say the biggest weakness of the Juventus team is their attack. The performance of the attacking players is a little weak. However, overall performance is stable and Juventus are able to play well in every match. Juventus team is only 2 points behind Inter Milan. The Napoli team is now out of the title race. On the other hand, AC Milan team is also 9 points behind Inter Milan. The battle for the title is mainly between Inter Milan and Juventus.

Revel 0-5 PSG

Today in the match of the Coupe de France, PSG's players shows a great dominance. The opposition is naturally quite weak compared to PSG. So I thought Luis Enrique might give his second line players a chance in this match. But he didn't do that. PSG players dominated from the start of the match.

PSG players had 78% of the ball possession in the first half. They managed to make a total of 15 shots, out of which 7 were on target. And the important thing is that PSG team lead by 4-0 goals in the first half. And Mbappe scored another goal at the beginning of the second half. Mbappe scored the goal from Marco Asensio's pass. Mbappe has already scored three goals. Asensio has one goal and two assists. Carlos Soler had two assists. PSG won today's match by 7/8 goals, but it is not surprising.
It looks like PSG can have a lot of goals in this match because there is still a lot of time left in the second half. The match has entered the 67th minute where PSG is already leading this match with a score of 0-5. the opponent Revel where they were not able to play well at all in this match where they had to defend as best as possible from the pressure put on by PSG. Mbappe has recorded 3 goals, aka hat tricks, in this match and it is very likely that he will score again because he is in his best form in today match.

Apart from that, PSG is very strong compared to their opponents in today match, so it is not surprising that Mbappe et al managed to destroy Revel defense line in today match. For now, I think Luis Enrique can give playing time to their second layer of players because they are safe enough by leading the match with a 5 goal lead.

In the end PSG won the match by a huge margin of 9-0. Mbappe scored 3 goals and an assist in today's match. PSG players played well. The match was not very important for them. Still Luis Enrique formed his best squad today to give confidence to the squad players. Goncalo Ramos scored a goal from the penalty spot. Asensio scored two goals and an assist. Muani also scored two goals. PSG's players will be more confident in the upcoming matches after a big 9-0 win in this match. They have the potential to improve overall gameplay.

Currently Mbappe has scored 18 goals in League 1, this is due to the support of his teammates as a team. I could even say that Enrique focuses more on Mbappe. naturally, apart from being a star player, Mbeppe is also an established player and very dangerous when in the opposing team's defensive area. as for the other players, namely his teammates, most of them have not yet reached their best performance or game. especially, for newcomers like Ramos and Kolo Muani. these two players are still unstable and have not yet reached the level of play that Luis Enrique wants as the architect of Paris Saint-Germain. currently, Enriue is rebuilding the PSG squad. we can see, several players have left PSG. now, they only bring in young players. the aim is none other than that, starting with young players who don't really have star names. I mean, not on the same level as Mbappe. which means, PSG's philosophy is starting to change, especially in the hands of Luis Enrique.
This season, there have been strong rumors that Mbappe will actually end his contract with PSG. it is even reported that this French star is willing to cancel his loyalty bonus from Paris Saint-Germain. so far, Enrique is directing PSG and is quite successful in Ligue 1. they are at the top of the standings, and are only 5 points behind the Nice team. however, in the Champions League, Luis Enrique's team is nothing compared to other top teams. this is only natural, considering that PSG is in the phase of rebuilding their squad and only has Mbappe as a big star at their club. if in the end Mbappe leaves, Enrique has prepared how he will handle his team. apart from that, PSG will look for the ideal player instead. the point is, IMO, PSG is not targeting the Chanpions League trophy. but at least, they will still maintain Ligue 1.
I was not expecting anything other than this from Mbappe since he is playing in PSG and In this team, he is the only target and famous player. This means all other players in PSG usually pass the badd to Mbappe and this player is PSG while he has many players to supply him and give him opportunities to have more chance in this team.
Mbappe could even score more goals if he was playing in another team.

PSG's main player is Mbappe.And with this squad he is able to score a lot of goals. As Luis Enrique builds his match strategy around Mbappe, Mbappe gets a lot of help from other players in the team to score. This is why Mbappe can score a lot of goals in PSG jersey. But Mbappe is very talented. He has the ability to score a lot of goals. He is also successful in the France team. So if Mbappe plays with a Liverpool, Arsenal or Madrid squad, he will probably score a lot of goals and be the top scorer in the league. Any major club would be interested in adding a talented score machine like Mbappe to their squad.

and this could happen to PSG because I don't doubt PSG's finances which might be able to make an offer to Haaland worth 100 million dollars will definitely make the player think deeper and possibly accept the offer from PSG.
Regarding Mbappe's departure, I am ready to see him go because he has provided many good achievements for PSG and it is time for Mbappe to look for another challenge with a bigger club to get the title he wants.
But if it was PSG I think Haaland would think about signing with them. You have mentioned yourself that Mbappe chose to leave PSG because he wanted to look for another challenge. Actually I don't think there is a difficult challenge at PSG for players like Mbappe or Haaland. If Haaland plays for PSG then he will do what Mbappe did where Haaland will win several Ligue 1 trophies and it will be difficult to compete in the Champions League.
Mbappe wants to leave PSG We are saying this because Mbappe has not yet renewed his contract with PSG. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mbappe doesn't end up leaving PSG. PSG management offers Mbappe a lot of benefits as well as high wages. Also this season PSG got an experienced coach like Luis Enrique. So it's no surprise that Mbappe extended his contract with PSG again at the last minute.

If Mbappe leaves PSG, then PSG will definitely need an experienced striker. They may try to bring Haaland from Manchester City. However, it is unlikely that Haaland will leave the Premier League and come to Ligue 1. PSG may try to add Vlahovic or Osimhen to the squad.
People always be speculate about Mbappe future since last summer this because he has made a drama with PSG and at that time Mbappe was refuse to extended his contract although PSG offering to give him contract extension with high salary but Mbappe has decide to leave this team at the end of this season and after his decision now he was linked to several big clubs but the news about Mbappe is still uncertain because after Real Madrid who showing their interest to him reported Liverpool too was taking a part with attempts to gets him

If Mbappe leave PSG then they have to immediately to look for his replacement and indeed PSG has money so buying expensive player isn't big problem for them but it's not easy to buy new players who have equal quality to Mbappe however actually PSG was buy Gonçalo Ramos last summer and this player was purposed to being an Mbappe replacement but unfortunately Ramos still unable to reach his shape just like he was playing at Benfica and 3 goals from 13 matches is really not impressive record from him

Mbappe's future is still uncertain. It is certain that PSG management want to keep Mbappe in France. However, nothing can be said for sure about whether Mbappe will stay in his country or go to England or Spain. Mbappe has been rumored to join Madrid's squad for the past few seasons. But Mbappe eventually signed a contract extension at the last minute each season.

If Mbappe leaves PSG, PSG will definitely need an experienced striker. But even if Mbappe doesn't leave the squad, Luis Enrique is likely to look for a talented striker for his squad. Because he is not interested in tailoring his match strategy depending on Mbappe alone. PSG needs another talented striker. In previous comments, I said Vlahovic or Osimhen would be good options for PSG. Haaland is unlikely to be interested in leaving the Premier League.
