Me too, and I'm sure that many people are also feeling the same way you did. I was very disappointed to see that an important match like Madrid vs. City must have happened in the quarter final. I would rather see it as a final match. The match between City and Real Madrid was always becoming very interesting, like last season.
Seeing from the line that could potentially be used by both clubs, I think that City is going to miss a lot of players. Some important players, like Walker and Stones, were injured in the international match against Brazil and Belgium.
The international match has been ruining these clubs caused by many of their players are injured. This the thing that i don't like from international match. It's often in making the players injured.

It totally depends on what both clubs will use squads. I can't really sure about what compositions gonna be used by city. Talking about Arsenal has a better chance of getting three points from the city is too early. I remind you that if debruyne and grealish have joined in the training session. You can't really sure if they will not play in the upcoming game, right?
Im still seeing it as 50:50. I remind you that if it will be away game for arsenal in etihad stadium.

That's true if stones joined with akanji and walker in the treatment room but i think that the secondary squad is also good enough to replace him. I remind you that if city was also able performing quite consistent even without him.
As long as we have bruyne and grealish in the squad and im sure that city will able to win against arsenal soon.

I will tell you that if martinelli was also suffering injury on his foot. he was also missed several match and his potential date to return still remain unknown this time. It means that if arsenal may not also perform without him.
Saka will not be really fit yet play against city since he will be only recovering from his injury.

Messi will get a new friend in MLS and it's grioud, but Giroud will join the Western Conference/LAFC but it's still in MLS. The deal between him and LAFC is nearing completion, and it appears that Giroud is still willing to play football and this is the main reason he is not willing to retire at his age. He is currently looking for a new place to play because his contract with Acmilan expires on June 6th and he got LAFC as a club that was very interesting to get him from acmilan. I think that there will be more MLS club will have interest to buy european player like him.

There was no indication from Acmilan to extend his contract and it means if milan is forcing him to leave Milan at the end of this season. Giroud was a very talented striker in the past, but his journey is now coming to an end. He can now enjoy his life by playing for another club, such as Los Angeles FC. I think that milan will be losing a lot by let him to leave from the club.
Giroud has always become the most useful striker owned by the club and he was really multi talented player. That's amazing to see him will not retire and continue to play football. Yeah bad news for intermilan fans.

I

It was totally the right decision for him, considering that Giroud needs to find a new place to play. He is still enjoying his life even though is not even young anymore to play in the acmilan. That's the right decision for him to leave from Macmillan before it's too late.
It appears that AC Milan has no interest in extending his contract. The club tries to perform even better than before.

Do the stats from the group stage really matter in this match? Inter Milan has better stats than Atletico Madrid in the group stage, but Inter lost against Atletico Madrid. It's a surprise to anyone who fully trusts Intermilan to win the game. Bayern played so poorly in the Bundesliga, and it can be considered the worst performance in a decade from Bayern, but it can still potentially win against Arsenal, too. I think the thing that matters a lot is the composition of the squad.

True, the arsenal has always very often lost against Bayern, even since a decade ago. it means that if bundesliga team can't be underestimated.

Bayern is a 1 billion team and it's far stronger than porto. The last time Bayern beat Arsenal was 10-2, as the final aggregate happened in 2016/2017. I think that history will repeat itself again even though the majority of people favor Arsenal, but I think Bayern is still strong enough to beat it.
It's time for Tuchel to prove his worthiness as bayern Munich's coach. Things will not be going so well for arsenal.

Nottingham Forest has not given up, not yet. It's known how Nottingham Forest got a 4 point deduction from the EPL because it has proven to have violated the PSR rules. It's not only Nottingham Forest, but clubs like Everton have gotten their sanction, and there will be more Everton to come soon. The club has not yet released an official statement but expect a statement came from the club on monday as when everything will be fully prepared. 4 points meant a lot for Nottingham forest because the club is still struggling to leave from the relegation zone. Everton is now out from relegation zone after forest got 4 points deduction after it has violated PSR rules.

Everton potentially to get another financial charge related to the first sanction. Nottingham Forest surely does not violate PSR rules. I know that if 4 points are not a lot but since nottingham forest is not in the relegation zone it can help club to survive being relegated to the lower division like championship league.
Nottingham coach must have pushed his players to play more than their limit. Nottingham really needs three points that will be greatly helpful to the club. I can only say that i hope nottingham will able to get their 4 points back again.

It's still remain unclear whether Benzema will be able to perform as well as he did when he played for Real Madrid because this time is totally different for him compared to when he still played at barcelona, people never ever decrease their expectations of him by keep try to imagine him to perform as good as his prime time in real madrid. It's the result of things turning 180 degrees in his favor, yet people didn't even try to realize it. The fact that benzema totally requires strong support from his team while still in conflict with Al Ittihad which is also making his chemistry with club has been weakening. So don't expect Benzema to return to his best form because he's having a lot of problems at the club which is also affects his performance and it matters a lot.

The environment in al Ittihad does not encourage him to play properly. It means that people have unrealistic expectations, such as when he played for Real Madrid. It's completely different when the club plays in Ittihad and Madrid. There are many great players who genuinely support him in real madrid like modric and vini and that's very different when it comes to the ittihad.
People shall move on and think realistically based on the current situation around him. Numerous factors greatly affected his performance in the club. It sounds stupid to expect Benzema back to his best form in the real Madrid.

Why don't people imagine if bnzema plays for real madrid again? it will make more sense rather than thinking of him to play as good as when he was at real madrid.

Im not even predicting this to happen. We have been hearing that many times xavi insists that he will leave from Barcelona as a coach, but Laporta tries to convince him to stay in the club much longer, but good news is coming from EPL for Xavi. I was not even speculating this would happen, but the magpies are starting to aim for Xavi as a replacement for Howe.
That's true if Howe is shit, and PIF needs to get rid of him from the club as soon as possible. It's the only way to recruit a good coach to replace him in the squad. The latest report has been coming from newcastle if club has very strong interest top recruit him as a new coach which is good.

https://www.goal.com/en/news/live/transfer-news-and-rumours-live/blt1ccfda38eda06d5a


I do really support this decision, considering the fact that Newcastle has potential, but it has been managed by the wrong coach. The club should not put its trust in Eddie howe to manage the club because he is not even capable of building a good club. Eddie Howe never had a good journey in the football.
As a club with unlimited funds and newcaslte, it must be able to recruit a high-quality coach, and I think that's a good solution to pick Xavi from Barcelona. It will make the competition in EPL becomes even tougher than this time.
There will be a more capable coach to handle the EPL team, which is obviously good news. I see potential owned by Newcastle, but it's managed by the wrong coach, which has prevented Newcastle from using all of its potential.

Moving to the newcastle will be the right decision from xavi instead of stay in barcelona much longer.

It has been confirmed that KDB will not play in the game against Arsenal, and Ederson is also still in the process of recovering himself. Arsenal was always on fire, but I remind you of the story of last season, when people had the same thought, like you, and Arsenal bottled the trophy at the end of the season, right? There are a lot of lessons to be learned from last season's result. The most important thing that if there is no guarantee when your team was on fire and it will be able to win the competition. The city will not try to miss an opportunity like this to ensure it will have a three-point gap in the arsenal. The away game at etihad stadium will give bigger pressure on arsenal since it must have won the game in order to keep up with liverpool as the
It's hard to predict the outcome of the upcoming game, but if we are comparing the lineup, I must say that Arsenal is far better compared to manchester city, which has been missing some important players. City missed some important players and that's it. It has become my main concern this season.

Who knows whether City and Arsenal will draw? Liverpool can take advantage because it will help them widen the gap even further and help liverpool to get bigger chance to win the competition. After Arsenal's game against Manchester City, there will be a match between them and Liverpool. and this is also gonna be a very important match too The competition is becoming even more fierce, and I hope that the city will once again dominate the EPL this season.

It's strange that the city won't be able to take the trophy this season, given that they've won it several times in a row. The EPL is becoming even more competitive than I expected.
The previous season was relatively easy for Manchester City because it only had Arsenal as a competitor. This time is even tougher than before. It appears that Liverpool is a strong club capable of winning the trophy at any time.

The next game by City and Arsenal will determine the winner of the season because the winner from this game will be able to strengthen their positions, so it's a hot topic among all the users here since this is one of the most important matches that will come this week. There are also some concerns that may make it feel harder to win against Arsenal, and that's when the city must have played without some strong players like Walker and Ederson. This puts the city at a disadvantage even though it will be running the game at home. Arsenal can also see this as an opportunity to win the match against it

Liverpool has an easy game against everton, but City and Arsenal must win to keep up with liverpool which will able to pass everton and gather three points. Im not seeing everton as a strong team that can prevent liverpool to get three points. The last 10 games of the season are super important for clubs competing for the title. It will go on until a club wins the PL trophy for this season. It looks like Manchester City and Liverpool are the top contenders, while Arsenal's weak mentality might prevent them from winning. Everyone's wondering which club will take the trophy this season.

Barcelona is now aiming for the la liga trophy again. As stated by xavi if his players are freely to dreaming back to back champion again this time. Madrid is now on the way in getting back its la liga from barcelona. That's why xavi has also mention it his players are freely imagining they get another chance to win the competitions and they will do that.
Madrid pushes it even harder in order to get la liga trophy this season. It's time for real madrid to stay at the first posiition as a champion this season. Madrid is gonna have easiest fixtures compared to the barcelona. It sounds impossible for madrid to miss a lot of points.
barcelona players can pray everything what they wanted to see but if it's related to the winner of trophy at the end of season and im still believing on real madrid to get it. it's obvious how real madrid is able pushing barcelona to perform even better for the title race at the end of season by hoping its competitor get bad result.

The last season was also a hard season for madrid. It was also facing real madrid too but city was winning the game with huge margin against it. So, nothing different compared to the this time. In order to win UCL and you must have passed all of obstacles that will be waiting for you to come. The big obstacle was coming even earlier than what i predicted.
I was not even believing it how city gets madrid as its opponent. The bad thing if there is also a news said that walker potentially injury which is also making the clubs to miss someone who can effectively preventing vini as a winger of real madrid. Madrid has no one that can run as fast as kyle walker.

If the news about walker was injury totally real and pep is now confusing to know who is the most suitable backs that can play as right back like walker. Vini will become the biggest threat for barcelona as this guy has speed and proper finishing. It will always threatening manchester city.
A lot of clubs have been doing massive improvements now. City needs to take it carefully caused by real madrid is also having new resources that changed the club a lot. The first match gonna happen away for city. As long as club will able to get draw and everything is fine now.

I don't even see madrid's player that posses the big threat like vini. Vini is the only threat that owned by real madrid.

Ehh dying? Are you joking? i don't even see ethereum was dying. It's also very close to the new ATH and how can you call it as dying? Solana gone 10x caused by it was also dumped for almost 100% when SBF's case was happening. It's a common thing to see that when market trust it back again then solana was increasing from $10 to the $100.
I think that you are wrong here by calling etehreum is dying right now. The fact that if's different case as ethereum never dumped below 2000, right since the last bullrun? It has proven that how ethereum can maintain the performance from its price since last bullrun.

Im concerning about about is whether Mantah will ever achieved a high ATH like other tokens did in the past, so far manta's chart is very stagnant this time. Manta was a new token in the market, and there isn't yet enough demand to pump it but it'll probably soon to be pumped by the whales. The opportunity for growth remains, but given that Manta still has a large number of vested tokens which makes it struggle to expand significantly to enter in the mooning game this tiem. The newly investors for this token must have known whte vesting schedule for manta. 
Expecting a few times return is still possible given its small market capitalization, but we should not expect Manta to give us 10x returns, which is impossible. There are still many tokens that are not in circulation. which is also pressuring the buy order for this token.
The locked tokens will also have a negative impact on the manta network's growth price since it was also adding more sell orders in the market. The price can gradually depreciated as well. Anyone willing to invest in this token must be aware of the risks associated with doing so.
It's because their investment may take longer to grow because the whales may be feeling so bad about raising the price of manta due to inflation caused by token unluck, which will occur on a regular basis according to the vesting schedule.

I think that if we shall not talk about the winner for this season caused by it's impossible for intermilan to miss some matches. Intermilan will have easy fixtures for the upcoming games.



Look at Intermilan's upcoming fixtures. There will be a lot of Ez games soon. I'm not even expecting Intermilan to lose against those mediocre clubs.

My hope is that Intermilan will be able to lock Scudetto as soon as possible, even though this is also impossible. It's very hard to imagine that how intermilan will able to lose a few matches.

It's beyond people's imagination to see that happens.

IMO, Todd and Beghdad are waiting patiently for their chosen coach to deliver the results unlike abramovich which will sack the coach at that time when it gets bad result. It can be seen in how Graham Potter stayed for more than half of the season despite being a flop. Saltor shall be rewarded for managing Chelsea for only two days as a manager with shortest period in managing a club.

The main issue is that Todd and Beghdad do not know how to select the right coach, as Abramovic did. Chelsea's result clearly explains it. Pochettino has been bringing his choices to Chelsea.
Not all of the transfers are initiated by the club's owners. It is incorrect to assume that Pochettino does not have the authority to choose which players will be recruited to join the club. The only issue is that Todd Boehly frequently intervenes in the club's affairs.

As the club's owner, he can have a more positive attitude and trust the coach to manage the club. I've heard that Todd Boehly initiated some transfers that were not even good to begin with.

Starknet

IMO. this token is not even worth to buy.

My cons are

- Big supply but only less than 10% already unlocked.
- High fees compared to another L2s
- Less users compared to the other L2s

Etherfi

- This token used as a governance token only and nothing more
- i have no reason in owning this token although it offers season 2 airdrop for the holders.


It's very bad idea. Why don't you buy a good token that has fully unlocked in the exchange site? I meant that have been plenty of tokens are also giving you various options.

SPL never tries to take football away from Europe, and this is completely wrong. The SPL was only interested in achieving immediate success by bringing in many European players in the hope that viewers would be able to change their league immediately, which totally failed considering that it's very hard to change people's habits. SPL wants to try a short process that will help EPL's performance improve even more through buying as many european trophies as possible but this doesn't even work. .
It aims to be as popular as the European League, but it has failed because the atmosphere will never be the same as the European competition. It was a concerted effort by SPL clubs to bring in a large number of European players.

The fact that the return received by a Saudi Pro League club was insufficient to justify the amount of money spent by this league thus far and it's not even worthy with what has already gained by the league overall. That is why the decision was made to halt the money from being spent even more on the european players totally right. Saudi Arabia has decided to stop spending money on new players in the European competition because they were only losing money as a result. The results aren't even comparable to what used to attract many European players to the league. I predicted that it would be pointless to bring some old players to the Saudi Pro League by offering them all extremely high salaries.

Suaid Pro League should try to learn how to invest more in the domestic league rather than doing crazy things like that, which caused the Saudi Pro League to lose billions of dollars in player purchases.
I wholeheartedly supported the decision to stop it.

They were continue to play outside of european clubs caused by there have no been clubs who keen in recruiting them as new players. Even ronaldo had sent some offers to the various clubs but these clubs kept show no interest in recruiting him as a new player. It's clear that if ronaldo and messi were over in eurppean competition.
The only best choice for all of them to leave from european league caused by they must also able to enjoy their life. Messi gone to the MLS while ronaldo to the SPL. It proves they have picked their own ways.

Since barcelona has faced trouble with FFP rules and club is now facing financial struggle caused by it will not able to sign the new players to join in the squad. Im still wondering which player that will be offered to the everton. Inability of barcelona to buy player with cash has forced club to send an offer to exchanging its player for onana.
It's not yet clear whether onana will be willing to join in barcelona or stay in everton. Everton has priced onana so high and it is also making barcelona unable to buy him. Everton can take advantage by taking a good players to be exchanged with its players.

Everton can also sell barcelona's player with very high price. Everton can start to make an offer for barcelona to exchange its winger yamal with onana. This can give a lot of benefit for everton only if barcelona wants. Everton's midfielder has been targeting by a lot of clubs but he was keep staying in everton much longer.
Barcelona can offer one of its good player to join in the everton as a new player only if barcelona's player wanna do that. The fact that barcelona players refuse to join in other club many times.

This match will be more hyped than the other one that will also happen at the same time. We saw how Manchester City destroyed Real Madrid last season, and history could repeat itself soon just wait for real madrid fans to see their favorite clubs face a tough game in etihad stadium. Manchester City has enough resources to stop Real Madrid in the quarterfinals. However, the city only needs to ensure that Bellingham will not pose a threat to Manchester City. Other players like rodrygo and joselu will not be a threat for real madrid.

To be honest, if we are measuring the performance of both clubs, I believe Manchester City will win the upcoming game because it will also take place at Etihad Stadium. It's difficult to believe Madrid can pass Manchester City given that City has a stronger defensive line than real madrid. Manchester city was rarely conceding goals against real madrid which is proving that how strong the club is now.

City has a walker who can stop Vini. Kyle Walker finds sprinting against Vini to be relatively easy. I have no problem with Vini because it will not pose a threat as long as Walker is present. In terms of quality, Manchester City is far superior to Madrid.
You can expect the same outcome as the previous season, when City scored five goals against Madrid. I don't think Vini will contribute much when he meets Walker. Walker frequently pocketed Vini.
