Now Liverpool is down by 0 - 1. 15 minutes to go. Can we at least equalize? We still should win the match.
Not sure if that will happen so easily because liverpool is extremely weak over Nottm Forest like you said it's just left with about 10 minute, let just hope they have extra time to equalized the game. Like seriously I am disappointed by liverpool on their strength towards the opposite.

It was really a surprise result about Liverpool v Nottingham because after all, Liverpool who in the previous three matches always managed to win without conceding and then played at home against a mediocre Nottingham team but in reality Liverpool lost. Worse, Liverpool were unable to score a goal in this match because I thought, if Liverpool lost in this match at least Liverpool still had to score a goal but in reality, Liverpool got a bad result at Anfield.

I personally don't know, whether there was a problem that happened that Liverpool played badly or got a bad result in this home match. Or maybe, this bad result is a sign that Arne Slot is unable to make Liverpool consistent because frankly, losing at home against a mediocre team like this is really a bad result, or maybe Liverpool really underestimated Nottingham.
Football is full of surprises and this is what makes gamblers to lose their bet because who on earth will believe that Liverpool will lose to Nottingham in Anfield. It was a shock to me because I lost my bet, personally I think the players were tired from the way they played or due to fatigue from the break.

Nottingham will be so happy to have full three point from a big club like Liverpool. Arne Slot should be prepared to win his next match to close the point gap. Only City have not lost any of their match.

I am very happy on the area which i have developed as a gambler because I could remember when i started gambling, I gamble excessively which brought losses upon losses and I became addicted. It took some time for me to overcome addiction and that has thought me a big lesson in life.

I can control myself when gambling by using the amount of money that i can avoid to lose and also setting time limits for my gambling activities. This alone makes me feel happy and stay free from much losses. There is no how a gambler will develop his skill in gambling, his losses will still be higher than his wins.
You didn't only develop as a gambler but also as a person. You went overboard by placing irresponsible bets and gambling more than you should have, ending up addicted, but in the end, you managed to overcome your addiction and set boundaries. This means much more than earning a few games or matches; it means that you developed self-control through your misconduct, which may assist you later on in life. 

Unfortunately, it's extremely easy to be fooled as a newbie gambler and fall into the trap of beginner's luck. The first few victories motivate you and make you thirsty for more, and ultimately, if you do not control it, it slowly consumes you, leading to addiction.
Of course when you think that you can make profit from gambling is when your addiction journey starts. This is because you will never be satisfied with your wins neither will you think of stopping the game even when you are in big loss. It is only when you have emptied your bankroll that you will stop gambling automatically.

Don't be carried away with profit making because you will not realize that you are bringing losses and addiction to yourself. New gamblers should realize this and change their reason of gambling if it is for profit because the casino is not father Christmas.

FT
Southampton 0 - 3 Manchester United

I’m happy that the international break is over and the premier league has returned this weekend. It was so boring during the break. Manchester United kicked off the weekend fixtures with a 2nil win over Southampton.

Congrats to Manchester united on their win, but quite a disappointing day for me. Lost today's ticket to early kick. I actually begged for a draw, but united came fully prepared. You see, the thing with football is that you must learn to take your chances. When you fail to take/convert every given chances, you might end up paying for it as your opponent will find ways to punish you for it. When I saw the penalty that was awarded to Southampton, I was quite confident that the game might likely end in a draw, but unfortunately, Onana made a save. Surprisingly, Southampton had better possession throughout first half, and beginning of the second half, but United chooses to be clinical today, thereby converting their available chances. Well, congrats again. I will look forward to game week 5.
Wow..you made a wrong choice because your beg went against you. I don't bet on any Manchester united match because they are unpredictable, you might think that they will not win the match but later win it. I was not also expecting to see them victorious in this match but I am not surprised because Southampton is a weak team who just came out from relegation.

I believe Ten Hag will take his next match serious and keep the winning going or would be lose his next match. Let it not be that he will win one match and lose two. Good performance from the players to secure three points with three goals.

There has been ongoing debate regarding the best way to recoup the investment made in constructing a residential apartment building. For those involved in real estate, where does the real profit lie? Is it possible to recoup the money spent on constructing a residential apartment building through renting it out, or is selling it a better option for recovering the investment?
Real estate is an asset and it generates profit overtime making it worth to invest in. You can choose go sell it and still get a good amount of profit because the cost of building materials increases overtime. There are some people who don't believe in rents because it will take a lot of time for them to get the money that they use in building it.

However, i will prefer to rent it out because it is an investment that can generate profit from genertion to generation as long as you don't sell it. It can be passed on to your children.

Today's away match for Manchester United will be very different from the matches in previous seasons because apart from the changes in the players from both teams this season, the performance of the Manchester United team is now not as good as last season so it is natural that many fans doubt that they will win a lot in today's match. But I would be very happy if Manchester United could win so that the Manchester United players could get more motivation to fight better again this season even though they are still with the same coach.

I didn't see Man United having a good chance throughout the first half, except for one goal scored by De Ligt, and on the contrary, their left side is too easily exposed, and that became space for Southampton to penetrate. The left side needs some improvement, otherwise they could concede a goal from an attack that starts from that side. Man United do not have many options, but perhaps they could try to replace Dalot with Martinez, while at center-back Maguire fills that position.
A wonderful performance from Manchester united players in the first half against Southampton as they were able to score two goals within six minutes. The first goal was scored by De light with a superb header to the left side of ghe post after he received a cross  Fernandez on the 36th minutes of the match. While the second goal was a super finish from Rashford on the 41st fisrt of the match.

Both goals were classic and at similar angles on the goal post. Onana was also able to stop Archer penalty as he punch it out and caught the rebound again. It seems like the boys are on fire.

Southampton 0-2 Man. United

Without Mbappe in the squad last season, Madrid was still able to win the Champions League and La Liga, so the presence of Mbappe in the current squad will of course have a positive impact on Madrid game in the future, although he managed to score two goals in La Liga, but according to I think Mbappe is still not at his best as a goalscorer so far, so Madrid can't expect much from Mbappe at the moment, Ancelotti has a lot of very good forward players currently in his squad, so this really requires wisdom in placing the position of the front players that they  have in order to maintain unity and consistency in scoring goals, I think the role that Mbappe had while playing at PSG previously could be a reference for Ancelotti to be able to maximize Mbappe current abilities.
It's true Real Madrid was still able to win Champions League and La Liga without Mbappe, but they still have Kroos and Nacho.

Real Madrid have Mbappe, but they lose Kroos and Nacho, is Real Madrid become better? nope, Kroos is Real Madrid's play maker, losing him give really a big impact to the performance.

Now Modric is replacing Kroos's position, he's not as good as Kroos, but he still decent. In the next year Modric high likely will retire, it's really a big problem for Real Madrid.
It will only be a big problem for Real Madrid this season and no more because Ancelotti and Real Madrid management have seen the vaccum that Kross left cannot be refilled by the players on ground unless they buy a new midfielder which i believe Ancelotti knows the right player he will buy.

This is the reason why key players are very important to a club, imagine with all the beautiful strikers Real Madrid has and players without Kross,, they are finding it difficult this season. This season will be a big challenge to Real Madrid in all competitions but who knows if Real Madrid is planning to buy a midfielder by January when transfer window opens.

Yeah, you distrust Dortmund in your previous post. It's strange to see that others also doubted Dortmund's ability to beat Heidenheim. Though they conceded two goals, but it's not something to feel worried about.

Dortmund can improve, and they're getting there. It was a good match. they were the better team than Heidenheim. I believe they will fix a couple of defensive mistakes that let Heidenheim score twice.

It should be 5-2 if a fully legal goal was not being disallowed though.
I think people weren't wrong, well you know Leverkusen was nothing but they proved if they're very strong in the last season. So people think that Heidenheim might could be like Leverkusen because they've win streak. Honestly Heidenheim looks very potential, they just got promoted from Bundesliga 2 to Bundesliga in the last season and they can finish at 8th positions.

There's a possibility they can finish top 6 positions in this season, even they lose but they can still give a fight.

But to me, I don’t think they are strong like Leverkusen's performance last season. Bayern Leverkusen looks better than even this season, although the season just started, so we can’t say for now, but we can’t deny that they look good too. The match they played yesterday against Dortmund they tried, I can’t deny that, but Dortmund won the match, and that is why I cannot compare them to Leverkusen.

If it were Leverkusen, they wouldn't lose that match; they are strong, although this season Leverkusen is also good but not like last season. 
I get your point and you are correct because if they shoukd be compared to Leverkusen last season it means that they should remain unbeaten and win the trophy which Dortmund proved that wrong yesterday by winning them.

Heidenheim is trying their best and i admire them because it is not easy for a club to come from the junior league with such wonderful performance. However, the league just started and no one knows if they will decline in form with time. This is why no one should compare them with Leverkusen who was extraordinary last season.

I think this question is kinda suited for those who started poorly, less disciplined I meant, or maybe the addicted gamblers too, I am just not one of them, I understand very well how unsafe gambling can be so I am been more careful is all.

Yes, I experienced this. my sports betting at the beginning of my gambling was very bad. I used to just bet on some matches with small Odds. without even knowing the quality of the competing teams. I chose randomly the leagues provided by the sportsbook. even making multiple bets with several teams that very often made me lose.
I learned a lot from my own experience. now I am more careful in making bets and not doing it randomly like before. although sometimes the ambition to continue betting when there is a popular event like the World Cup cannot be avoided.
That's what the thread is all about. Developing as a player.

I think many of us who have been in the gambling industry either sports or casino games know better how cruel the life of a gambler is and we learned from it.
We cannot be stuck just playing over and over again without even thinking about what is next. We need to grow. Honestly, there will still be times that we are dragged by our emotions but we know better and pauses will definitely help in this kind of situation as our mind can be cleared when we take some good rest.
It's not a perfect solution but it's better than nothing and it's all up to us on how disciplined we can be at staying with our budgeted amount and then calling it a day if it loses.
I am very happy on the area which i have developed as a gambler because I could remember when i started gambling, I gamble excessively which brought losses upon losses and I became addicted. It took some time for me to overcome addiction and that has thought me a big lesson in life.

I can control myself when gambling by using the amount of money that i can avoid to lose and also setting time limits for my gambling activities.

What version of electrum wallet are you using, ypu should download the lastest version of electrum and try again, if it doesn't work you should get the wallet address of the wallet you want to send the funds to.

Also check the icon on the right top of your wallet to see if it is color green and if it is not, it means that your wallet is not connected, you should connect it.

AC Milan Vs Liverpool will kick-off on Tue, but the biggest game of the first round of the new league stage will take place on Wed.
Inter is coming to Manchester to take on Man City. Champions of England Vs Champions of Italy - it doesn't get any better than that.
Inter won Serie A last season with a whopping 19 points advantage over AC Milan and made it to the round of 16 in the Chamions League (unexpectedly losing to Atletico on penalties), but bookies don't give them much chances of winning:


Man City very rarely loses at home, so 1 point is probably the most that Inter can hope for.
Wednesday game will be the biggest game because the both clubs are the champions of their domestic league last season. This is the clash of champions from Italy and England. There is a say in my country that when two elephants are fighting, it is the grass that suffers it.

On the other hand, I believe that Manchester city will be able to win Inter because the last time they met was last two seasons finals and City won the match, which gave them their first UCL title in history. Inter didn't go far last season because Atletico Madrid win them in the quarter finals. Let's see what they gat this season.

Recently Market is bleeding, and we all are aware that this is the wrong time to think of selling and remember if you ain't ready for the dip then you ain't ready for the increase in price , this time around the best thing to do is keep buying and hope for the best . And alot of people that are going to sell now I'll definitely endup regretting their actions later .

So try and secure a nice position in your bitcoin accumulation by accumulating as much as you can in time like this you will be able to purchase at a cheaper rate,  those that are new to bitcoin, remember bitcoin are not like other shitcoins, no matter the dips it may take time but bitcoin will surely bounce back from it stronger. So keep accumulating and be safe folks
Yeah Bitcoin is not like shitcoins when ever there's a fall in Bitcoin price one don't need to panic because it will surely increase in price it may take time but it will increase unlike shitcoins, a lot of people has lost money in shitcoins because when it falls it will be the end of it some shitcoins are created by scammers.
When investing in Bitcoin one should go for a long term investment since it may take long time for Bitcoin to grow, a fall in Bitcoin investment is an opportunity for people to accumulate more, one with the history knowledge of Bitcoin won't panic when there's a dip because is part of Bitcoin, there has been dip in past in Bitcoin but it didn't stop Bitcoin growth.


To me it doesn't really make sense that you are trying to give certain credibility or making some shitcoins very special and it can be very  misleading especially to newbies coming to the space, this is one mistake some newbies does when they come to the space by attempting to get involved with a shitcoins and when things goes wrong along the line they generalize their functionality with Bitcoin whereas they differs. However, if anyone can not overcome the temptation of getting involved with other coins other than Bitcoin is is always advisable not to do more than 10 percent size of your Bitcoin investment in other coins and of course this advice is not for a newbie who is just coming to the space who's focus should be more on accumulating Bitcoin with preferably the dca strategy.

As a newbie it is advisable to concentrate on Bitcoin investment alone because Bitcoin has proven to be the best coin money can buy, there is no other coin to compare with it, as we all know shitcoin is been manipulated by paid social media infkuencers which means that the possibility of shitcoin dumping is on a high side and i don't think anyone that understands what digital investment is all about will want to invest in such a high speculative pump and dump unrealitic coin knowing fully well that there is high level of risk in it, I advise newbies not to even think of going the lane of shitcoins because shitcoins are mainly for shorterm goals that may be unrealistic as such it may discourage individual investor that does not understand this facts to generalize shitcoin with Bitcoin not knowing that Bitcoin investment goals are long-term while shitcoin are mainly for short-term, in conclusion, I encourage entending investors not to look elsewhere and invest in Bitcoin with what they can afford steadily slowly and continue holding for long-term in other to benefit from it in the future.
Shitcoins are for gamblers who want to take the risk of trying their luck to see if they will be able to make quick money in a short time and not for investors who have plans of investing  for the future so that they don't end up staying poor when they are old.

Shitcoiners will end up in regrets in the future if their bags turns to zero which is one of the main reason why no new investor should think of shitcoin because it will wreck you and you might end up staying poor because if you run at loss, you might be discouraged not to invest anymore only those who have love for crypto that will divert their funds into bitcoin investment. Bitcoin investment good for all who have the aim to real from what they have sown in the future.

I even see the depth of Real Madrid's squad this season is quite good between the main players and the reserve players so that the problem of player rotation will not actually be an obstacle for Real Madrid to continue to perform well in any competition including in the UCL this season. But Real Madrid still has to hope for the recovery of several players who are still injured because almost all players become more important this season after each team that enters the UCL has to undergo a new format with very different conditions.

We all agree with that, Madrid is a team that is truly filled with players who have above average quality. Don Carlo can play the players he wants according to their performance, after all they have players that are almost evenly distributed based on the quality of both regular players and second reserves. as for some injured players will soon rejoin the main squad, some of them are Bellingham, Camavinga who in a few weeks we can see will return to the field. but some of them seem to need more time to return to the main team, Tchouameni, Caballos and Alaba and for some others their status is still in doubt. what concerns me is Real Madrid's defense line, with the absence of several injured players can have an impact on their performance in the defense line. besides that the tight schedule is very draining energy, yes as I said in the previous post. maybe for now it's not a problem for Madrid, but in the long term it could be a problem. I mean, if some Madrid defenders have to be absent longer.

You're right here. With the absence of seven Real Madrid starters that are on injury, especially the defenders who are really needed this period and in the match against Real Sociedad I feel Real Madrid will have a very tough time winning against Real Sociedad. Right now Ancelotti needs Vinicius, Mbape, and Rodrygo to sync now more than ever. They must show that chemistry if they want to win that match. If they lose against Real Sociedad, the gap between them and Barcelona will be no more. If they want to keep that gap they need to be strong that day.
I just hope that Ancelotti will be able to manage thieves players that he has on ground and make something out of the match against Real Sociedad in other to win the match because Real Madrid is in a tight corner right nlw with the absence of some of their key players.

If Real Madeid should draw or lose this match it will be more advantage to Barcelona who will definitely win their own match and the point gap will widening. It is the first quarter matches of the season that clubs who win trophies do take advantage of because nobody knows what will happen before the season will be over. Real Madrid needs a win.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 13, 2024, 09:39:08 PM
Dortmund has much better players than Heidenheim. So besides playing at home, the quality of Dortmund squad makes them to have a higher chance winning the match. Moreover, you can take a look at the current score in the match now, Dortmund is leading with 3 goals and Heidenheim just scored 1 goal. Dortmund really dominated the match, they even leads 65% of ball possessions and make more shot attempts (10 shots). With this condition, no doubt that Dortmund will win the match, there is no way that Heidenheim steals a point. It is the end of Heidenheim leading the table of Bundesliga, they will drop their position in the table today.



Google



I was not opportune to watch the match, but I have it in mind that Dortmund will definitely win the game, and that is exactly what happened. I just checked and saw the game ended at a score of 4:2 after Dortmund won the penalty. Actually, I know even with the performance of Heidenhiem they will not be able to win Dortmund at home. Just like that, it will be very difficult for them. Although we have seen the outcome of the game and Heidenheim has dropped to the second on the table with a point below Dortmund, it left Dortmund to try their best in the upcoming games. 
I have already said it that tofay match will be any easy one for Dortmund and it was like a work over game with the many goals scored by Dortmund. Today's victory was a good one because it reduced the point gap between both teams.

Heidenheim should be shocked on how ghe match went because they felt that they moght ne able to put themselves back in the game but as more goals was coming in, it became impossible for Heidenheim to equalize the goals and Dortmund got all three points. It was a wonderful victory for them

Arsenal and Arteta have officially reached an agreement to extend the contract for three years or until 2027. Arsenal are very satisfied with Arteta's performance so far, he has succeeded in making Arsenal consistently a strong competitor for Manchester City in the hunt for the Premier League trophy in the last two seasons, his best performance since being appointed as coach made the club give him a new contract.

It didn't take long for him to deliver trophies to Arsenal after being appointed as head coach. On his debut with Arsenal, Arteta immediately presented the FA Cup after beating Chelsea with a narrow score of 1-0. Furthermore, he returned to give the Community Shield trophy in 2020 and 2023, although he has not been able to present the Premier League title, but Arteta continues to bring rapid development to the Arsenal squad.

Arsenal have a bright future as long as Arteta is in charge, if the team's performance continues to improve this season and in the following seasons, their chances of winning the EPL trophy are very big.
I mean Arteta definitely deserved a new contract, it is not really that shocking to hear that he got what he deserved. He almost won to titles on a period when Cİty dominates the entire league, getting a title during their time would have been very difficult anyway, but he almost did it twice. Which goes to show that he is on the right path, and if they keep this up eventually they may get one. So, this is why I think he got that contract extension, to see if he can finish the job he started, he has what it takes to win and I think he is going to get it, we should see them do fine.

I understand that it may not be easy to handle, but it is going to be fine and I think it is going to be a good result as well. It's clear that Arteta will do his best to win this. I know that it is not an easy job, and I know that when Pep and City is still there, there is a big chance that Arsenal may never win, but at least giving it a shot and trying their best is what that matters.
As long as Arteta keeps the team in a consistent performance, it is something good and no one will say that he is not a good coach because he has tfied hia best for Arsenal and was able to improve the club's performance to the point that finishing second on the table is no longer a problem to them.

However, Arteta should show that je is growinh in experience and tactics by making sure that Arsenal wins the trophy this season otherwise, I still see him as a boy to Pep.

If I myself only include a few matches in parlay bets such as Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan matches, to be honest I am a little doubtful about AC Milan because this club has not yet performed optimally, but because it is playing at home, it should be able to maximize it to win and won full points so far Milan has not won full points in its last 3 matches.
And indeed like that, from all the matches that are played, it will definitely make us doubt one of the matches that are playing, it is a natural thing to predict many matches at once.

I am quite sure that AC Milan can beat Venezia, even though their performance is very bad but if they face a team like Venezia Fonseca still has the face to beat them, if they can't beat them it will destroy his reputation as AC Milan coach.
Fonseca should try his best and make sure that Milan wins Venezia because they are weak opponents and that should be an easy match for Milan to gain three points from for the fisrt time thos season.

I don't know the pattern that Fonseca is using that is not favoring the team game style but he needs to improve the team so that Milan can start winning matches again just like they use to do in other seasons. I will watch the match to see what will be the outcome of the game.

~snip~
and in my opinion, whatever the market conditions are if we are good at reading market direction, there will definitely be an opportunity to get the best price whether it is in buying or if we want to sell it, meaning it may be common knowledge that investing and trading at golden moments in the market so that we produce better trading quality because consciously or not the trading system also teaches us how patience works to produce better investment results in the future and not always fail at the same point.

Yeah, but the thing is that no one really knows that.

No one can predict accurately when the highest value or the lowest value will happen.

Also in the long term that doesn't matter too much as long as you are roughly correct in the direction, for example you can assume certain assets will appreciate over time.

That means that if you exchange cash for those assets you will probably end up wealthier over time.

No one really knows what? When to buy? I think you are wrong, we all know what Bull market and bear market looks like, what you should be warning others about trying to time the bottom or the top, but the bottom and the top doesn't happen in a day, it takes time for corrections to happen.

Use Bear market for buying and use Bull market for profit taking, it is that simple, DCA is best for the long term but when Bitcoin is massively over valued I won't keep buying just because my plan is long term, that's plain stupidity.

The market will bottom in a bull market, bad news always happen after Bitcoin tops out, once that happens start buying, the best time for DCA is in a bear market, I  won't be buying the tops just because I won't to hold for long term, never.
You will not enjoy the real importance of DCA and hodli for a long term if you are only after buying at the bear and sell at the bull run as a trader. You will only get little profits instead of a good amount of profit from your bitcoin investment due to the compounding value of your investment if you increase and hodli your bitcoin overtime.

However, if you are cool with what you are doing, that's fine but I am investing and saving for the future and that is why buying and selling within short-term is not for me.

Cristiano Ronaldo have played under different legendary football managers ranging from Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and so many others and none of them have ever described him as an "arrogant" footballer. I think some of these media outlets are responsible in  making him look like footballer with so much ego in their bid to make his biggest rival Lionel Messi look like a better footballer

He was made the villains so Messi can be the most liked among everybody but still they couldn't defeat Ronaldo as he still get love from his fans. Ronaldo started with nothing and wasn't given an easy path as Messi was. Messi is a Barcelona product and he got protected from the beginning and given anything that he wants. The moment he left Barcelona, he started struggling until they have to decide to give him the world cup so they can crown him the greatest of all time yet Ronaldo is still the one that the street loves. Ronaldo carrying himself is because nobody agreed to carry him, his clubs keep betraying him after everything that he does for them. It started from Real Madrid to Manchester united.
Ronaldo is a great player to me and I see him as the best even if Messi is the best currently because he has added the world cup to his achievements which Ronaldo hasn't. Sometimes these achievements are luck or being given to vompensate the player for his outstanding performance in football.

Ronaldo still has his own record where everyone respects him on that and Messi cannot outsmart him in that aspect which is the highest goal scorer in all competitions in football. This alone will be a record that might take decades to break.

Osimhen seems no longer needed as long as the new coach replaces him with Lukaku so he has to adjust to the new team, Osimhen needs a good performance to make a name for himself as a player that the team needs in a core position with a more aggressive physique when playing in matches, I doubt if Osimhen wants to go to the Saudi Pro League because there is still a chance to play in the team he is currently contracted with, hopefully Osimhen can play well and win League with success in 2024/2025.
Looking at the last time I saw him on a video at his new team, it appears like he's not finding it challenging back there and obviously liking where he's at currently and would do as much a s he can to staying there and further his career and making sure he's not going to have to really be under any form of pressure to get anything done as he would have probably elsewhere due to the expectations that would have been placed on him in the regards that he's sending as a to clas player going by his records so far. The lukaku as a replacement for osimhen doesn't seem to Napoli like a bad swap but with time most likely we would get to see and know if it was a good deal enough to be considered a perfect replacement but in the meantime lets hope for the best for them.
Osimhen is happy with the clubs he is with currently and that will boost up his performance because he will be playong with rest of mind and that will make him to be able to put up his best performance in the club. Unlike when he was sad in Napoli and that demoralized his passion for the club which affected his performance.

If you look at it from the other side, Lukaku is getting old and weak amd in no time he might decline in performance and that will still affect Napoli. Conte is pleased with Lukaku as a striker because he believes in his potentials as the man that's fit for the job but i would have preferred Osimhen because he is younger.

Atalanta last season could indeed be a strong challenger. But I don't think Atalanta can expect too much this season. And so does AC Milan. Milan started the season quite badly with their new coach, Fonseca. So I don't think many people will want to bet on them this season. Because that would be very risky. So I think the real challenges for Real Madrid are only Dortmund and Liverpool. Dortmund surprised us all last season and it is not impossible that this season they will also make the same surprise. Meanwhile, Liverpool looks as strong as last season. Arne Slot managed to maintain the strength established by Klopp at Liverpool. With a slight change in strategy, I think Liverpool could become the biggest threat to Real Madrid. But of course I will still favor Real Madrid when it comes to all matches in the UCL.
I guess it's like that, Atalanta is not as strong as last season anymore. Atalanta's performance in Serie A can be a benchmark for now, especially for analyzing their chances in the Champions League. I don't care if Atalanta wins or loses, but they could be the team that surprises everyone
Atalanta cannot surprise anyone this season in the champions league because it is not Europa and UCL has so many strong teams that will send Atalanta packing from the league.

I don't see Atalanta going far in UCL even though they are the winner of Europa cup last season because with their current performance they stand no chance of survival. It will be good to see Atalanta back go their best form.

Barcelona are stronger and are performing better than Girona too so they have better chance to beat Girona in coming match. It will be a big test for Girona but they are strong mentally as shown in last season and this season too. Big test is tough but Girona are not fearful and they can go through a big test with good result even the opponent is Barcelona.
I am sure that Barcelona will beat Girona, the year Girona was good was last year, they are not looking as strong this season and I think Barcelona looks much better this season as well. They are getting more leaner and they are learning to deal with their financial issues, sending away some players.
I agree with you that Barcelona will defeat Girona easily because they aren't as strong as last season. With the current form of Barcelona, it is clear that Flick has improved the team performance and we saw it from their previous matches how they performed brilliantly.

Girona will finally be disappointed at themselves for making a wrong decision by selling their key players and still feel that they will be able to maintain their performance to be like last season. If Gitona does not find a way a improve their team, they will be finish in a poor position at the end of the season.
