Barcelona were very lucky to get 3 points against las Palmas. However, compared to the previous matches, Barcelona players have performed very well in this match. However Las Palmas players were confident in the home match. They were able to attack a lot in this match. Las Palmas got a 1-0 lead in just 12 minutes of the match. Barcelona could not score any goal in the first half. However, Torres scored the first goal for Barcelona at the beginning of the second half. Gundogan's performance was good throughout the match. After 90 minutes, Gundogan did not score from the penalty opportunity. And Barcelona won the match 2-1.
Xavi Hernandez will not be sacked afterall, Barcelona was lucky enough not to end the game in a draw tie, alot of mistakes was done on Barcelona side, but any how they manage to win the match. However, Las Palmas was the team that messed up big time, a match they were leading with 1-0 have suddenly changed to a draw tie and also they couldn't hold on much longer because Barcelona keep pressing and another goal was netted injury time after Las Palmas player was issued a red card, that weakened the entire squad that was planning for atleast draw tie. |

Watching the game yesterday i don't think it's a performance with what we have seen in the league when PSG plays against other teams, the game was a final match and Toulouse played like a team that came prepared despite losing to the old ladies but they had a good performance and PSG worked so hard before getting rhe lead and secuing the victory at last. For PSG, they may not look very strong but their ability to keep topping the league and winning trophies even when they are not playing very well makes them bigger and better than other teams they are league leaders and they have a trophy at hand already.
Topping table and not staying have always been the goal for PSG, they're in good position to continue winning matches without complains but this present generation, everyone wants to ask what happen to then because they have failed to generate results that would become threatening to other opponents. As long as it's Ligue One, Paris Saint Germain will win matches, no argument about that, am I correct? Les Parisiens have to build hp around good players that would be able to filled in the space open and void by these clubs. |

Luis Enrique will definitely try to defend Mbappe like last season, and of course this will be drama that repeats itself second time.
I know that Mbappe will not be able to play well if he is constantly in pressure position that makes him uncomfortable, what more, Mbappe no longer has any hopes with PSG or it could be said that the Ligue 1 title is just the best title that Mbappe can have.
Great loss when Kylian Mbappe would exits PSG, both for the board, the coach, his teammates and finally the fans would be sad, he's the only useful player in that PSG frontline and capable of winning major titles. Kylian Mbappe hesitate on leaving and few months back, the same player already find it comfortable to be putting on PSG jersey, he needs to leave and pursue whatever is available on his path. Luis Enrique knows what his team will suffered if Kylian Mbappe leaves the club, he's the coach there and know the In and out. |

The performance of Manchester United last season can't be compared to that of their last season which is true but everyone expected them to have a good season since their coach is well known for transforming teams that are facing some difficulties but in the case of the United team, they became worst in their performance as they failed to win matches both in the UCL and the EPL thereby making things difficult for the team. From their performance so far, if the league should end now, Manchester United is not sure of making the top 4 because they are in a very poor form at the moment.
I've a question, have Erik Ten Hag aides or help kill the club performance. The league is not easy, on a second thought, the Red Devils tried and they have nothing to proof because couple with poor management, overrated players that have no significance in trooping good titles. Manchester United is different, alot of things have gone wrong in the club, and it's affecting them in performance. Comparing Manchester United form last season to the present season, we have alot to talk about. These average clubs have no regards for average clubs and that's really bad thing. |

Dortmund is really experiencing what Liverpool experienced last season. The mental fatigue really hook them badly because of how they failed to win the league in the last game last season. Such a downturn in form can have significant implications, especially when it leads to a considerable gap between them and the teams higher up in the standings.
The pressure on the coach, Edin Terzic, to secure a top-four finish is understandable, given the expectations associated with a club of Dortmund's stature. Management often evaluates the team's performance in relation to their objectives, and falling short could lead to tough decisions. But I dont think replacing the caoch is a good idea, because this situation is not solely about the tactics. Changing the managerial leadership could even worsen the situation because this is the problem as a whole, not individual. I dont think Sahin is ready to manage a big club that is in a bad situation.
Big clubs are overhyped this season, they don't have anything to boost about other than their standards as elite club and the players who are also overrated Evaluating the team to become more tougher just as Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich will be tough, they have good players but the board focused more generating profits for themselves without the notice of developing the team to become strong, because it was and has been competitive all these years, and this one is really different. Borrusia Dortmund have the stable talented players to use for important matches and they will not just play but come out victorious but with wrong decision, they don't have any solid plans. |

Barcelona managed to get the 3 points from Las Palmas away with a penalty in the last seconds.Although they started really well this season, there has been a drop in form in recent weeks.We can almost say that they almost left here with a draw. In the 12th minute Las Palmas managed to take the lead, but unfortunately they couldn't hold on to it.In the second half Barcelona increased their dominance and equalized in the 10th minute.Barcelona need to get their act together.I don't think they can progress much in this way.They didn't play very well.If Las Palmas had been on their game they might have won this match.
Barcelona won, but that shouldn't happen again because that's not how you win matches; it's an immense difficulty for them given their position on the ball. Barcelona was unable to match levels in the first half because Las Palmas used a defensive strategy to seal down their territory, blocking any balls fleeing with good pull outs and cautious tackles. The home team made a huge mistake in the second half. Their first strategy was to keep Barcelona at bay until the very last minute of the second half, but Xavi Hernandez reversed course and they travel back to camp nou with three points. |

Girona actually mean business because they have added another goal to make it 2-1 before halftime. Since Real Madrid has already won their match 1-0 against Mallorca, Girona will do their best to win this match as well because this is one of the tough matches they will face this season, and with this performance they are showing in the match, I am give them a chance to get the complete three points in this match because they dominated the match and created more attempts than Atletico Madrid.
There are strong clubs this season, a big fight for the La Liga title race, Real Madrid and Girona are in for the top race. 3-2 with Girona leading at Estadi Montilivi. This is the game that's most important for Girona because Real Madrid won Mallorca 1-0 and its the entire decision for Girona to win their Atletico Madrid if they want to continue topping the table. Diego Simeone side won't be able to withstand them if Girona stand strong on ground and don't relent in any position, they just gave good vibes and are practically in good form to elevate their standing. |

Bayern losing the league this season would be horrible for Harry Kane. He left Tottenham in search of trophies so losing it in a club that league trophies are guaranteed would hurt really bad.
Harry Kane is doing his best to win this trophy. He's scoring goals and providing them, but we don't know how his trophies cabinet might turn out to be.
Right now Bayern is second in the league and if they lose any other match they might lose the league because they're not top of the league.
Leverkusen seems to be in good form, even if I don't trust them, but if they don't lose anymore they might remain at the top this season.
Bundesliga titles are for big competitive clubs and not for some random struggling team. Bayern Munich are gradually missing out on the title race, it belong to Bayer Leverkusen, they have the necessary fire to heightened the performance and out runned other opponents with ease momentum, absolutely no time to relent. We should not point accusing fingers at Harry Kane for leaving Tottenham Hotspur, he did the right thing by leaving and there's no way he would continue playing in spurs jersey with no major title to his name. Bayern Munich signed him for the purpose for the English man to fill in the shoes. |

Winning the Champions League back to back is hard to do no matter which team we are talking about. When Real Madrid did it, they were quite lucky that the VAR wasn't in place yet as they had several situations where they scored goals from an off-side position in critical moments of the games. That would not have happened if they had VAR back then. It was still an impressive achievement, but these little details are forgotten when we talk about the back to back to back series for Real Madrid when part of the truth is that some minor details were in support of them.
VAR is involved and it's existence have become very important inother to avoid impartial actions. It condones fairness and there are other factors that would make football to become smoother and entertaining. I'm not going to lie, I'm enjoying every matches played in the UEFA Champions League competition, because it's a top league and the best is expected of all the clubs that anticipated. I will forever respect Real Madrid as the best team in the European world of football. Their performance is classic as a top team, everyone become very agile whenever he put on the Real Madrid jersey. |

Salah is getting older though, Liverpool fans are getting blinded by his talent rightn ow, but they are losing the fact that they have a player who worths something now if they sold, and not going to worth anything in a few years.
Sure, he helps a lot right now, but if they keep him, they will get just a few more years of good play from him, then he will be too old. However, he is such a huge name that if they sold him for example to some Saudi team, then they would make enough money to buy someone else who would be able to give them maybe 10 years, that is a lot better. They are on the verge of missing out, maybe they already did, this summer they should definitely sell him for a good money, if not, then it will be too late.
EPL is tougher than expected, Liverpool is strong and they play collective football, they don't depend on the performance on single player, no matter how important the player seems, everything just play out good for them, and they will continue to win matches without the absence of key players. Mohammed Salah is older but that's not the case, because Jurgen Klopp find him valuable in his squad, he will be leaving for AFCON. It will be a big miss for Liverpool in coming matches, the fans just hope everything will pan out to become smooth. |

I dont remotely think Son is gonna get out of european football, a total no chance, he is still a very high level also he is now bieng the number 1 of the team after the departure of Harry Kane so i dont see him going out until at least 35 years, and when he reach that age maybe he wants to return to south korea.
Saudi Arabia clubs are coming for big names. Since the departure of Harry Kane, it's been Son all along, he's been the main player that have received the major accolades in Kane's absence. Son is a vital player for Tottenham Hotspur and a key player under Ange Postecoglou project in the club. We have watch his performance and I would proudly say he's not going anywhere, it doesn't the hugh amount placed on the table for the Korean international, he's very active as a frontline for Spurs and numerous times, he delivered the club and a key player for the future of Spurs. |

This year in Europa League and Conference we dont see so much surprises. So we have two roads ahead, o the competitions still without surprises or all the surprises come now and we are gonna start to see a few big teams choking against weak or smallers teams.
We will enjoy and also complain when these average clubs starts to win elite clubs, it will by mistakes but its pure luck. Imagine Brighton eliminating Bayer Leverkusen from the competition? I know none of us will believe but it's just an opinion, we just have to prepare our minds for the worst results. The moment we've been waiting for is getting close, a phase were the the elite clubs will rough handle the mediocre teams without frightening actions. The Europa League is competitive enough and we have top clubs that would generate stellar performance against their opponents. |

I have no doubt that Liverpool are the strongest of the Europa League teams. They have a very strong squad. But my point is whether the Liverpool team is interested in the Europa League title. If they are interested, they will definitely try their best to win the Europa League title. But looking at their Europa League and Premier League performances so far, I think their first priority should be winning the Premier League title. And they are moving towards this goal. We have seen poor performances from Liverpool in several matches in the Europa League group stage. And that's why I think they're not very interested in the Europa League.
Every club have 50/50 chances of either winning or stopping, no one would relent but keen on winning the title race with everything they can possibly get their hands hold on. Don't underestimate any club when it comes to trophies. Liverpool are strong enough to win the Europa League title but we should also consider the competitive run of other running clubs for the title. Bayer Leverkusen comes to mind when I scout for a second club that would suit in after Liverpool. No matter how average these clubs are, they're top and focused on winning. |

Players who come from the academy are only used by Real Madrid after they loan them to other clubs. It was an opportunity that Real Madrid gave their young players. While at the loan club, Real Madrid will see the player's potential to be included in the main squad after the loan period is over.
The process carried out by Real Madrid is also carried out by many other teams. Maybe Manchester City does too.
I think there are only two teams that use a lot of players from their academy, Ajax Amsterdam and Barcelona.
Barcelona is no longer used to young players, but since Xavi became coach, they have become accustomed to this process again.
The process were we watched these young talented players develop to become pro is comparable to building a strong foundation for these players to grow up, it's a good thing that's happening to these players because when they're mature, they become end product. Young players are not mainly used by Real Madrid because they're elite club that serves as a competitive threat to any club they faces. Barcelona is different from Real Madrid, though it depend on the coach, Xavi Hernandez picks interest in young players and build them to become pro, that's one of the reasons we witnessed the decline in Barcelona performance. |

Yes indeed, it seems that the reason Napoli is still the favorite team in this match is because Napoli has a good head to head record against Torino. But unfortunately, I think at this moment the head to head record does not seem to have a big impact on the results that are equally good in this match. Because anyway, at least at this moment Torino also looks quite good for home matches but at the same time, the fact is that Napoli also has good results for away matches so far this season.
Thus, then I think this match will be balanced and yes, Torino and Napoli both have a chance to win in this match. But yes, because at this moment at least Torino and Napoli have qualities that are not much different, then a draw can still happen, considering also at this time they only have a gap of 4 points in the Serie A standings.
The standings have become very competitive and straight, only Inter Milan and Juventus are mainly contenders for the scudetto while the rest are merely competing for important positions on the table, every club wants to sits in the top four. Let's focused on Torino vs Napoli match. Checks there previous meetings, Napoli have grabbed all the golden winnings and they're also looking to win Torino again, they found it really easy to win them without any difficulty I supposed. Torino hosting Napoli and we expects the energic formulations from Napoli. |

The remaining match on Matchday 20 is the West Ham vs Brighton match.
I think this match will be really interesting to watch. And I think this match will be a match with more than 2 goals. Because I see that both teams are now in better confidence. After they managed to get full points in the match on Matchday 19. Namely, Brighton managed to beat Tottenham, and West Ham managed to beat Arsenal. And now the two will compete. Well this really makes me curious about who will win. whether it was Brighton who succeeded in beating Tottenham or West Ham who succeeded in beating Arsenal. At the moment I will not favor any team. I would rather hope there are lots of goals in this match.
An important match tonight. Goals will be coming in as if there will be no solid defensive strategy, these clubs are mediocre but they're differ in performance and not taking any slight opportunity of not winning. Westham United vs Brighton & Hove Albion, what do we expects to happen? It's a GG on the scores because both clubs wouldn't afford to defend or play without aleast netting a goal. David Moyes will be ready to shake hands with Roberto De Zerbi at London stadium. It's important for both clubs to win and there is the presence of top actions. |

Did kane's transfer give another burden to him? I meant since bayern has spent a lot of money and the club needs the manager to deliver more for bayern. Another big challenge is awaiting him.
Bayern Munich did a good move to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur, atleast the Englishman is in bundesliga, more especially in Allianz Arena to win titles, to cover up for the wasted years he played for Tottenham Hotspur without achieving any solid title. The only challenge the attacked would encounter is goal scoring, we know how dangerous he is on the pitch, he keep triggering goals to enable Harry Kane is not facing any difficulty in Bayern Munich because he's teammates have good chemistry going on and they're available to give him crucial assists on the pitch. |

Varane has a bad relationship with Eric Ten Hag, of course Varane will not have his contract extended.
It is certain that at the end of the season, or winter transfer in January 2024, Varane will be released.
But I see no one is interested in proposing varane. maybe the Saudi Arabian clubs are interested in him.
Saudi Arabia are coming for the Frenchman, would he resists the incoming gigantic offer from one of these SPL clubs? Raphael Varane have achieved the important trophies he would as a player and also a key man in Manchester United after making a move from Real Madrid. It happens he's not enjoying football in Old Trafford, from injuries and getting benched by the coach who's very strict and take the slightest chance to punish his players by denying them chances to explore their capacity on the pitch. He just know how to deal with his players that don't align pretty good with him. |

Inter Milan's performance in Serie A has been very consistent. The Inter Milan squad is also quite strong this season. But if Inter Milan wants to win the title then they must consistently perform well and win every match. Because Inter Milan is only 2 points ahead of Juventus, one of the rivals for the title. I am looking forward to the Inter Milan vs Juventus match in the first week of February. If Juventus can win this match, they have a great chance to become serie A champion. However, if Inter Milan can win against Juventus, they will be able to increase the points gap with Juventus.
Inter Milan and Juventus are going to give the viewers enough actions to think of because both of them have been really competitive in matches and they won't give up so easily when it involves winning the scudetto. I'm supporting Juventus to win the league title, that would bounce back the Old Lady on track because they've been out of action for a long period of time and Massimiliano Allegri is trying his best for his team to be the best version of themselves over these past years wasted. |

News about Mbappe's transfer has recently spread increasingly in various media. I think this is just a media need because Mbappe news is always interesting to talk about. but what is clear is that Mbappe will stay until the end of the season because PSG knows that without Mbappe, they will lose half their strength. Of course they will try their best so that Mbappe does not leave until the end of the season.
So, it is impossible for Mbappe to leave PSG this January, but in the next summer transfer he will have to leave PSG. because I think Mbappe needs to understand that he is not getting any younger. He must have the Ballon D'or, and he must fight for it with Real Madrid.
Kylian Mbappe is a big name in football, I've learned to watch and admire the player play football as if he was born with it. Mbappe might not possess the necessary skills as a player but only his pace and speed covers everything. When it comes for title, he doesn't relent and put in good efforts to ensure his side wins. I'm just waiting patiently for Kylian Mbappe to make a big move to Real Madrid which us regarded as the best club in the world when it comes to titles, he will 100% fit in without having any challenge and if he do it will he slight challenges. |
