Well Ronaldo is getting close to retirement and for a man like him who’s conquered footballs world for over a period of 10 years plus together with Messi it’s very understandable the whole speculations flying around on what Ronaldo will be doing next after football retirement. Yes most people always want to keep watching their fave after football and as such different speculations of him still being in the limelight.

 ⁠A lot of his fans would think of him coming back to football after a year or two rest, probably as a coach and they believe his value will really skyrocket as a coach. Yes it’s quite possible he comes back as a coach but I guess he might not do pretty exceedingly great as a coach as we know most great footballers doesn’t succeed so well as coach and as such I think he will give that a very deep thinking before he ventures to the coaching world.

 Another speculation holds Ronaldo coming back to our screen to feature in movies and I feel this is going to be more realistic than being a coach. Yes he’s going to sell out the movie with his fame and if he can act well too that will be a great plus for him and the producers of the movie that’s if he doesn’t even own the movie, Lol.

 ⁠Finally, yes the thought of him going to venture into business is very very possible as you can see man has lots of investments and might just decide to chair one of his investments and keep the money coming in and yes he can become the face of the brand and you see the brand selling out quickly. So you see Ronaldo in his after football life will be able to fit into anywhere, he just needs to make the right decisions and then he’ll keep making his money from the media because of his fame.

  Football has now gone past the normal stage of us always trying to win games with defensive format, as your opponents will be the ones to mount the pressure and you might be hurt when a silly mistakes happens. This style of football is called Haram football and is now considered not to be existent anymore.

 Well Mourinho is a good coach but I feel he needs to be flexible with his tactics, like do some changes amd make sure they’re effective rather than using same tactics match in and out. This was one reason he was sacked as the board was tired of the boring football and knew their players can play better than they were doing with Jose.
 
⁠ They hired this coach and even though he hasn’t some big achievements but at least you can see how he’s improved this squad and now they go into every match with enough confidence. This is really one big determinant to winning any match, the morale needs to be so high to always get those victories.
 
 Roma are now looking more better and are a big threat as compared to how they played like 3 months ago, and now you can have huge confidence. Their next match I think will be against Milan then you can now start seeing if they’ll be able to get the major points off Milan especially as this match holds lots of memories. I think Roma might not get all 3 points here but they can at least perform a miracle.

Well Barcelona have now used this win to give a statement on their readiness for the UCL match against PSG and yes this match was a big boost for them befriend the match and as such, you can begin to have some sort of confidence in them being able to get something off PSG. Barcelona victory now puts them 2nd on the log though they won’t be able to compete with Real Madrid for the league because Real are a very better team than Barcelona.

 ⁠Though the win was just a lone goal from Ralphina, you can tell how much of opportunities they missed in that match but still you can’t just write them off for the match with PSG. I feel they’ll be able to give PSG some worries to an extent and this match will be one match to be on the lookout for this week.

 Yes the PSG squad is quite a force especially with the presence of Kylian but that alone can’t make you write off this Barca team as they have really shown great signs of improvement under Xavi though their financial constraints is a big issue to them. Psg and Barca are kind of balanced with psg main advantage being on Kylian’s pace with the ball.

 ⁠The match will not be a borough one though but I think the team who gives his all will win  as that’s the criteria and I’m glad both teams have the experience to win. Though I don’t think any is yet a contender for the title.

 United's team are generally in  a mess, their players aren't cooperative and coordinating adding to the fact that they're trying to make essential a signing that had this shaky performance. Hojlund has not really imparted United as he ought to as a signed striker. He's failed in doing his job the right way maybe as a result of his poor ability to perform and as well as disagreements and discordination in the team.

 Rashford is one player that was actually doing well in previous seasons and he's had huge contributions and impacts to the United squad and he was practically fans favorite and a threat to teams too. But this season hasn't been quite good for him, his playing style changed and he's literally had the worst season. The fans are not encouraged by his performances and they've not been shy to express their disappointment and disgust at him. I don't know and can't tell the source of the problem but he's just got an extra work to do on himself.

 He's a striker but has not played as a striker. Hojlund the second striker brought in to assist me has quite had a more favourable play in the UCL than in the EPL but he's also got to improve. The UCL games were shaky for them so he's also got to keep making wave and this time he has to find a way to improve his play and convery goals for himself and the team.

 It just seems as though the entire team is in a black out situation right now and it isn't good. They'll be up against Chelsea in a few days and I hope to see the outcome of their game and see all the players out in their best. Safe to say that the both teams are in thesame category so they'd both have same playing tempo, maybe even end up in a draw too.

The season hasn't been quite adventurous for Juventus as they've been indicted to not taking part in the Europa League. They've been focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they've been doing excellently well in it. They've even got a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too. Although, inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form. At thesame time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests.

  Lazio have not really been performing at the usual pace we all know them to be at. They've got more work to do on themselves. The threats are high no doubt. The league is getting tougher and it's difficult for them to meet up or bounce back to somewhere meaningful at the top. At least, they were in the Champions league, where they'd been able to prove their worth there buh odds for advanced for them was low. Their strength should just currently be majored on the Serie A league. They have to stay in the games and acquire meaningful points too.

 Although they are not really the biggest team currently in the league and still they've tried to stay relevant  and it's one feat they strived to attain by positive weekly game results. They've been able to gain grounds to be on top at the end of the season's first half. Judging from their performance so far, they've got what it takes to finish at a very stable spot this season. They're good at what they do and they're relentless in their strides.

Dortmund in previous seasons have been very much active and eager to chase the trophy. Although at the moment the chase isn't off, they've still got every chance in store to prove themselves. They've had scaly strides from the start of the season up till now, they've managed to scale through in the UCL, no one knows their fate in the next round but there's certainty that there's difference in their performances now and then too. They're a good team that just needs to find back their balance, there confidence level has dropped big and corrections needs to be made soon enough too.

 There's no time out to let go off winning chances, it'll keep drawing them back. Overtime, they've had good players in the team going off to other clubs and making wave which only notes that they're a team that builds and carves up players to be exceedingly top notch in performance. And it's acceptable that there are still players in the team that currently are capable of keeping the team ahead.

 The game between the two German sides was definitely a tough one to go round about. Yes they were sides that were and are still considerably competitive to themselves. They're impactful and they know how best to get the desired results. Munich have been sloppy in performances so far and still they could not still prove a stunt against long time league rivals. Dortmund had the right goal scoring ability and they did well at keeping up heated tussle paces with teams.

 These two teams were good opponents to themselves. The 3 points  of the game was won confidently by the visiting team and the result was a determinant to their movement about the league table. Sadly these two teams who were always top league contenders will have to lower their ego and battle out in the European ticket winning phase of the league. The game definitely would had a few goals in it with Dortmund keeping the clean sheet.

For these two teams you can see and there are reasons to evidently support that they are not supposed to be in this stage especially as both teams haven’t really shown the strength needed t be considered a contender. These teams have some good  history between them and I feel this fixture will be solely based on the past history as the clubs will try to build up from their oast experiences while they head into this fixture.

 Giving Bayern Munich the edge already might be pretty crazy because Arsenal isn’t looking like a team as before. They have improved quite greatly in how they play and you can see that in their performance in the EPL. They have been able to still remain top of the league with great number of goal difference and that’s what’s key to the success of every team.

 ⁠I think this fixture will be evenly contested especially as Arsenal now seem to be balanced defensively and theyrequite strong going up front and as such, I don’t expect Bayern to be able to hit them real hard like before. Though to an extent, I think one big determinant of this fixture will be the experience of the players as the UCL is one competition that requires huge experience from players.

 I think the match will be evenly contested but I’m very sure of Arsena being able to go through not because of anything but because they play more composed football than Bayern Munich. This is one of the UCL match that i look forward too and can’t wait to see how the match goes.

The Gunners will take kn the reigning champions at the Etihad later today and this is one very crucial match for both teams as they’re both in a chase for the league title. The fans would want to the double against Pep’s city as it’ll be a big boost to their 20 years wait for winning the league.

 ⁠Many players are in doubt for this encounter and as such it means big worries for both coachesbin trying to make sure their teams stands out top. Injury is one big worry especially for a fixture like this aa you need your major players to be very fit while you head into a match like this.

 This match will be going the way of City because they are playing better and they’re a major force to reckon with at their home and they’ll be playoff in the regular pattern. You just can’t do more than wish Arsenal will be able to give their best for thi competition. Any falter from any team now will mean that team bidding the UCL bye bye.

 Man City are one big team and they’ll be a major challenge for the Gunners. Man City will sure win this match and this will be dumping Arsenal down to 3rd because I just confirmed Liverpool have gone top of table after their 2-1 win at home to brighton.

It’s no longer news that Jurgen will be leaving this Liverpool team at the end of this season which will make it 9 years of him being in charge of this team. Replacing a coach like Jurgen who’s very key is always quite difficult to an extent especially as this coach is one that has changed the face of the club and has led the club to some key victories and also brought some trophies home.

 At the moment they’re the League Cup winners and could probably be crowned the EPL winners and or the UEL winners as they still remain very top contenders of these competitions. Replacing him, so many names have been thought of and many thought we’ll be seeing a return of Bayern Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso but it’s all looking different especially as Alonso has committed to the German Club for some more time.

 This is a relief to the Leverkusen fans but a big blow to the Liverpool fans as mow the club will now be thrown into major dilemma of getting a perfect replace for Jurgen who’s leaving at the end of the season. Different managers have been brought to the picture of this race and when you check of all, I think Diego Simeone might not be able to do the job at this club.

 ⁠A coach like Unai or Nagelsmaan will be able to still maintain Jurgen’s tempo and build their team on that foundation and I think they’ll be a perfect replacement for the German expert. Liverpool is a big club and sure any coach will love to coach them but a better option will be any of these two and that could be what’s best for the club.

Yes Lille won their match and were able to move up to 3rd while they wait to see what Moanco plays. Games like this always come with a lot of press and you can imagine what Monaco players were going into with a match of that nature.

 ⁠Though Monaco will be away to a relegation team but still you can’t say much as relegation teams are always giving the big boys headache in one way or the other. Well Lile sure did their assignment well and for that reason the were able to get the 3 points and get into the UCL spot. The both teams are sought of equal and based on performance they were both on same par in that match and that made the match quite interesting and fun to watch.

 ⁠Well Monaco has won their match and have gone back to their 3rd place and this is now making the competition for the UCL and Uel fierce as the teams are all on close points and we have few matches to go. The UCL post can still be contested by Monaco, Lile and Nice.

 ⁠The top of the league and 2nd place doesn’t seem to be under much challenge as these other teams prove to be safely secured. The 3rd and 4th spot will still be contested on by the other 3 teams and we just wish the best man luck in the remaining fixtures.

Al-Hilal keeps on their unbeaten run with a 7 goal classic yesterday away to Al-Shaba. The match started and it seemed Al-Shabab will be giving much issues as they were able to get the lead in the 3rd minute of the match and you can see how their home fans began to geer and cheer the players up

 ⁠Well not long after from the 18th minutes Al-Hilal got into the game and took the lead scoring over 4 goals up till the 60th minute of the match and at this time you’ll feel it’s already a won match. Well Al-Shabab took it quite differently as they weren’t relentless and that got them 2 goals in less than 15 minutes and as such mounted pressure on Al-Hilal
 
 ⁠Al-Hilal showed great strength and composure in trying to at least get all 3 points from that match if not it wouldn’t have been one exciting news to have a 3 goal lead and still weren’t able to get all 3 points. Ronaldo with his Al-Nassr team was able to boost his goal tally with another career hattrick

 ⁠Milestones such as this make me still wonder if Ronaldo will ever stop playing football anytime soon because man seems too fit and is very ready to continue playing and giving his best. I just wish his team will be able to find the right balance for next season and this will make him at least be able to challenge for the league title as this is what he probably wants to win before he retires.

The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the  responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves.
 
 De Rossi has been given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be a bit difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament.

 Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. They played away to Monza weeks ago and the game outcome actually went in their favor. 4.
 
 In the game, they were able to confidently net in 4goals and this gave enough goal margin in the match. Monza who were the host didn't actually make much effort, adding that they were up against a better side and nothing less or different from the final outcome was expected to happen. The odds were in Roma's favour and in their own part, they were able to perform and deliver rightly, adding an extra 3points to their league table points and this as well adds to the push and morale ahead of their next European cup game against Milan.

Leipzig has been performing well of recent in their league and comparing them to their last encounter they've been to a reasonable extent better than them in the ball play, dominance, victory and goal scoring opportunities and abilities. Leipzig now rubs shoulders with the likes of Bayern Munich, Dortmund who are amongst the tough clubs in the league.

 Leipzig does have a big chance against teams in the league and their victory in the coming games won't be surprising because they're the stronger team. Not withstanding, these teams should be able to play not forgetting that they still have games left for a couple of weeks in the league too and there shouldn't be resilience.

 Over the years, every season, we've seen certain teams leading the top chart of the Bundesliga and there's been some levels of consistency especially for Munich who's most of the time finished at the first position. Before now, Leverkusen and Stuttgart weren't even seen near the top four, it was always a Munich, Dortmund show but there's been much of a difference this season. Now there's a kinda rub shoulders between these teams, Leverkusen and Stuttgart who's been on the sidelines for seasons have now come up to be competitive for the trophy. Since the season began, they've been able to be threats to the trophy race, Munich now have to be extra cautious in their games too.

 They've lost twice in a row and it's kept the ints between them and Leverkusen. Also for Stuttgart who's been doing their best to keep their spot in the top 4 space. It's very much impression that this season took a different turn in the Bundesliga. Leipzig and Dortmund still have to strive to regain back their usual space on the table because currently, they're seemingly below the top 3, although with not much points difference which they still have a chance to meet up with.

For the Italian teams at the moment, they'll be focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they ought to be doing excellently well in it. Especially Juventus, they've even had a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too.
 
Although, inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form. At thesame time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests. They've been able to play resiliently and the results so far is fit to help them earn this ticket but the difficulty they may face this season is the trophy of the Serie A, the top contenders won't let it slip away from them, they're in their own way and end putting streanous efforts to ensure that they get the maximum number of points to keep the gaps and help them win the trophy.

 The final games in the UCL round of 16 was played and the result of Inter Milan against Atletico Madrid is one that was just in between expected and unexpected. The Italian side have been able to this season stay in shape in both the Serie A and the UCL until their disqualification days ago. They've played to win and they've secured good number of points gaps between them and Juventus. Yes it's not so surprising as they've in all time being a competitive Italian side. Atletico's encounter wasn't really much of a petty game for them as the both teams were strong though Inter being stronger in terms of league standings but experience wise, Atletico knew how to get what they got. Well it's a motivation ahead of next season for Inter Milan.

Kane's addition to the German side have been fruitful. He's been a major in their positive game outcomes, even though they're striving to get past their competitor on the table. Kane has been impactful and his contract is still open till 2027 with Munich which gives him ample time to do more with the team. He's been consistent in his job as the striker and he's not stopping at just letting goal chances slip by him. He's quality and his ability speedily increases weekly.

 His time at Tottenham was worthwhile and him joining the German side have even more increased his worthiness to be a standing forward. This is a door to greater football awards opportunity. He's young and has got spare time at his disposal too. So far he's been doing explicitly well for Munich which should be appreciated, even if his time with Tottenham had also been great.

 It's good he switched to Germany as he's gathered additional experience too. Even though he's done his best to score as much goals needed to place him at the toppest stand of the goal scorers in the league, it still isn't enough to place Munich in the 1st placed position either. He's done his best as the striker but generally, it's a team and collective effort to put Munich in the first position spot. This season isn't just the best for them as their performance is greatly different from their usual performances in other seasons. In the few games left this season, Munich still doesn't have a chance at the Bundesliga trophy this season. They'll just have to try their luck next season.

 Munich yesterday were not able to restore back their pride and confidence even though their chances for the Bundesliga trophy was off, they just tried to keep up their face and yes they were beaten by Dortmund at the Allianz Arena with a 2 goal margin. A very big loss to Munich as that game result further pushed them below the table thereby increasing the odds to loosing the trophy. Well it will be much of a heavy task on them, they'll only have to absorb the lesson and experiences learn and garnered whilst working towards bouncing back up into the trophy race of the German league again. It ought to be an easy win for Munich but sadly and unfortunately, they did mess up with the game.

The Quarter Final match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich will carry so much weight majorly because of the historical records between both teams when they come to play each other especially the storied rivalry between both clubs. The Past history, with memorable encounters between both teams which have left lasting impressions on both clubs and her supporters could fuel anticipation for the upcoming match. The historical view of this match adds drama, anticipation and make this fixture real significant.
 
 ⁠Yes the past could provide inspiration but the outcome of the fixture will be solely based on the current form of the players at the clubs presently. The absence of key players will pose a major threat to any of the club and for Bayern Munich it’ll be one major worry for them as Arsenal could take massive advantage of this problem.
 
 ⁠Bayern are known for their squad depth and missing some players especially key players will be a major blow as it will probably result in adjustment in tactics which could probably not be a great idea for a big match like this. Yes this can also be an opportunity for the available players to step up their performance but the possibility of that happening is really less.
 
 ⁠Arsenal are a better team now and they will be able to pose a threat to Bayern if care isn’t taken and this is one of the major reason I’m anticipating this match as I would want to see how much improvement has happened in this Arsenal squad.

This game was one interesting game to watch this weekend as currently the game still holds the most goals on the EPL this weekend. You can see how fierce both teams struggled to make sure they maintained the lead in this match but one or two mistakes happened and that couldn’t happen.
 
Fulham were in best position to win this match but the issue is that when coming to the ground of a relegation team, you probably are unsure of what to expect and this was what played out. Fulham have had good records before this match after defeating likes of Man United, Tottenham and co and many would have thought this will be one big walkove for them.

 ⁠Sheffield had the surprise in the bag and were able to make sure they snatch at least a point from this encounter. Sheffield had no control of the game because from the stat of the game you can see they had barely 25% of possession in this game but surprisingly they were 3-1 up till the 86th and 93rd minute.
 
 They had just 4 shots on target and were able to convert just 3 as compared to Fulham’s 9 shot on target. This goes to show how composed Sheffield were in this match, though they’re going to be relegated but they were brave enough to put up a fight.

Liverpool team have yes been hit with injury most of the time this season and you start to think that they’re not able to win the league but that’s going to be one hell of a dream. Yes this Liverpool  squad despite facing crazy injuries to major players, they still boast of a strong squad with quality depth in various positions as their backup players have proven to be trustworthy and reliable. Klopp is a tactical genius and his tactical acumen and ability to adapt his strategies to cope with the injury woes.

 ⁠Liverpool’s success will be majorly dependent on the form of the players when they return from injury. Yes and when you compare them and the other 2 clubs, you see that Liverpool have more advantage than being compared to the others as they have leas competitive fixture in this their final 10 fixtures.

 ⁠Arsenal are yes looking like they can be able to win the league but when compared to City and Liverpool I obviously think Arsenal will be finishing 3rd because they have a major challenge which will be defeating City and then they need to be able to fo past Chelsea and Spurs then Man United. These matches will be crucial for Arsenal to be able to get victory and I don’t think it can be a reality.

 ⁠Facing reality I think Arsenal would finish 3rd as Man City would be able to defeat them tomorrow and that’ll be Arsenal dropping to 3rd place. They don’t have the high mentality yet and they might not be able to defeat clubs like Liverpool and City who have high mentality.

Losing a player like Mbappe who has achieved some great feats at his young age and is still vibrant will be a big blow to psg as you can see how poorly they perform in the league when Mbappe is on the bench. Mbappe’s one very big player and any club losing a player of his caliber will surely fall at some points. Yes they might have key players that will be to step up but the issue will be that those players might not be able to attain the heights Kylian attained while at the club.

 Yea the club has some major players that can fill up the void but for the issue of them chasing their European dream, missing a player like Kylian will have a massive blow as that could reduce any hopes they’re having of them succeeding. They’ll probably be able to succeed if the team  coach is able to change the tactics in such a way that it’ll favour the club and they’re able to acquire the right player to fill the void Kylian is about to leave behind.

 Well winning the UCL is very possible but the coach must be ready to use the right tactics as that’s one major win they can get success in the Ucl and they must not give up too easily. They xan take cue from Man City’s success as this should be one very big motivation for them. ⁠Mbappe before be leaves can sure get some major trophies for the club like he’s already bringing the league home and he can as well add the French Cup to the trophy list for himself. This will be him leaving on a very high note and I’m sure the fans won’t forget all he’s done for the club sooner as he’s one quality player.

Currently, Leverkusen's consistency has put them in the top contending spots for the Bundesliga title. And it's so certain with just few games games to determine the victor, there's every certainty that there will be change of hands this season. Definitely they've held and will hold onto the pressure for a while and for Leverkusen, they are not resilient in pursuing that major aim. Alonso and his squad aren't giving up and weekly they put up a whole different energy towards that trophy race.

 Comparing Xabi's abiliy based on his performances with his team, it'll be fair to admit his superiority in skillset. Leverkusen when Xabi took over had to start from scratch to build up to where they are now. So far Xabi, he has been a good boss and his methods have worked perfectly for Leverkusen. One would wonder how he managed to put up such feat for the team considering the spot he picked them from. It's one quality that can definitely be found in a good manager.

 Leverkusen have been impressive in all rounds and it's not surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams. It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too. I believe he's still got good plans for the German team, which will still be manifested good. In the Europa League, there's been top contending teams from the start till the current stage of the contest.

 Even though days back, the playoffs stage was concluded and there we saw few teams earn advancement tickets. Well from the beginning of the tournament, we know that it'll only be the tough teams that'd survive. Also predicting the winner this season would be hard as there are a number of tough teams to pick from. The highest we can do is to just analyze these teams based on their overtime performances this season and bringing that in the picture, the highest probable winner would be Leverkusen, then Liverpool and any other team behind. In essence it's safe to say that if the draws are favourable, then Liverpool would battle with Leverkusen in the final game of the tournament.
