Speaking about Conor McGregor, with the amount of money he already has, and the amount of businesses and opportunities to earn outside UFC he has, I find it hard to understand his motivation to continue participating in fights. Sometimes I just think he is trolling Dana and fooling everyone around with his return. If he wants people attention and fame, he already has it and now can get even more through movies. If he likes to fight, then he has enough money to pay for sparring partners (that would not counter his strikes and only defend) and change them every day.

I also think that he is making a fool out of everyone. Because he knows that Dana White still thinks she is very important for generating money in the UFC. And he also needs attention for people to get a look at him whiskey business. He also probably has other business. So he does need attention. And of course, he is also into movies now. I don't see him being a successful actor. Because in general people do not find so much success in multiple careers.

Anyway, maybe I am talking a little too soon. Maybe he will be able to do well and forget more acting gigs. But I don't think he's going to be as successful as he was with his fighting in the UFC in his acting career.

Anyway, in Doha today we will only see one semifinal as Karolina Pliskova who had to meet World #1 Iga Swiatek has withdrawn.
Actually, it wasn't fun enough that when have reached the semifinals one of them withdrew.
It would have been quite interesting if Osaka had won the quarterfinals yesterday and watching her compete with Swiatek would probably have been an exciting match.
Elena Rybakina reached the final after beating Pavlyuchenkova in straight sets and only a few moments did the third seed experience problems but overall Rybakina managed to overcome her opponent well.
This would be an ideal final, the first seed with the third seed, the last meeting was an exhibition match where Swiatek managed to win but overall in the official match Rybakina was ahead so this will be an even match and maybe Rybakina can win her third title this year and continue her winning streak, but Swiatek looks pretty solid at the moment.

Elena Rybakina will face Swiatek in the next match. The next match is also going to be the final of this tournament as well. This is going to be a competitive match in my opinion. At least I hope it will be because I don't want the final to be a one sided match. I don't think it is going to be a one sided match because as you said, it is a match between the first seed and the third seed. So it is going to be very unexpected if it is one-sided somehow.  But I think that Swiatek is going to be the favourite to win this match.  But it is not going to be easy for her. Not going to be easy for either of them to be honest.

Lyon is very likely to escape from the relegation zone because they are currently three points ahead of Lorient who is in 16th position and five points ahead of Metz who is in 17th place. Moreover, it looks like they are starting to play well, and winning against Marseille is the key to their revival even though there is an opportunity to lose again in the next match is still wide open but the teams below them are also very likely to lose so Lyon's position will still be safe to be able to play in Ligue 1 next season.
Facing Nice, they also have a chance to get a point, even if only one, because Nice, even though they are in a much better position than them, their performance is not that impressive because they only focus on defense, if Lyon can break through that and score a goal then they will win again at home.
yep, only the draw that we are able to expect because to defeat Nice is not an easy job and even though Nice is currently unstable but the team is difficult to predict sometimes lose to a weak team sometimes very strong when competing against a strong team so there is no hope for beating and better Lyon is more focused on producing a drawing score.
what I know at this time is that Nice can be defeated by continuing to put pressure on the defense definitely Nice will look easy to defeat, but unfortunately Lyon attacking players are not strong as last season so there is no choice but to compete with the defense formation and try to consistently getting 1 point will be better than losing points at home.

I have predictions if the score scores will be the same as having 1 score but if Nice wins it will end with 1-2 for Nice.

Lyon have surprisingly been able to win two matches in a row. I did not expect that from them. Now they are three points away from the relegation zone if I am not wrong. But in my honest opinion, being only three points away from the relegation zone is not being out of danger from the relegation zone. I still think if they do not perform well enough they are going to get relegated. And by performing well enough I mean not losing every other match.  If they can somehow get one point consistently, I think they will be okay.

They are probably not going to win the next match. We all know that Nice is a pretty powerful team compared to them at least in this season. I think they should go for one point from this match.

Manchester United are scrolling back to the top gradually, they have a good record this month, if they keep the conceding goals to minimal and increase thier goals from Garbacho and Rasmus, they will break the gate of top 4 and climb back with high hopes of returning to the Champions League next season. It will be a plus for them to even make it quick as the Champions League knockout is starting this week, all attention will be there and they focus on here since they have been eliminated in the group stage.

I think it is really difficult to see the Red Devils starting to concede much less goals than this in the remaining part of the season, my friend.  Sad

Because I mean even Varane is performing really disappointingly. He wasn't like this in the previous season. His morale also must have dropped quite much after the bad results they got. But as an experienced and quality defender he should have still stayed mentally strong. When it comes to especially Hojlund he is very impressive recently. He finally started to score in the PL as well. This is valuable for the Red Devils to keep their hopes up.

Manchester United has been able to get three wins in the last 5 matches. they have been able to get three wins in the last three matches actually. So things are definitely looking better for them. The performance is good now but I wonder if they will actually be able to play consistently for a longer period of time. Because in the last three matches that they were able to win one after another, only Aston Villa was a team that they were able to beat which was ahead of them. And this is also the time when Aston Villa was not playing very consistently. So that's why I am actually starting to doubt them. I don't know if Manchester United will be consistent for a long period of time. I am pretty sure that whenever there is a bigger opponent for them, they are going to lose.

The draw at the first meeting, as far as I know, KDB was still injured and Manchester City did not play well so the result was a draw 4 - 4 even though they scored 4 goals, it would not be good. Manchester City conceded 4 goals at that time. I am sure that in this meeting Manchester City will playing many of their key players to be able to win the full three points, because Chelsea always makes it difficult for their strong opponents, therefore Guardiola must be careful of Chelsea's fast attacks as was done in their first meeting which made it easy for them to concede 4 goals.

I think Manchester City will play optimally in that meeting because they will be playing at the home of the Etihad stadium where in front of all their supporters they have to show their best game as much as they can to win and get the full three points, after all, winning is important in order to compete in the title race this season. Don't miss it and Manchester City still has a chance to catch up and overtake Liverpool at the top of the standings. My prediction is that the game will use high tension, it could be a score of 3 - 2 for Manchester City to win.
Manchester City has difference performance between first and second half season, first meet they had draw against Chelsea but I don't sure with next match and Manchester City has Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland easily for defeating Chelsea.
Fully believing with Manchester City potential secure three points against Chelsea and want to keep close the opportunity with top standings position in Premier League.
For Manchester City vs Chelsea match I don't sure will has high intention because inconsistency performance from Chelsea easily for Manchester City win over two goals, I doubt with Chelsea potential can make any goals regarding Chelsea get difficult when facing with top fourth standings position.

Manchester City is performing really well in this season. At least when compared to Chelsea's performance in this season and I do not believe they have the capability to win against Manchester City. I think the best case scenario for Chelsea is going to be getting at least one point from this match. If Chelsea can get three points it is definitely going to surprise me. But it is also not impossible. Think in this match Manchester City will be able to win. But the best Chelsea can do is create a bit of a problem for Manchester City. But I am not sure if they will be able to score against Manchester City.

Juventus' two consecutive defeats made it increasingly difficult for them to remain competitive with Inter Milan and the fatal mistake was when they lost to the mediocre team Udinese, but I am quite sure that this result means that Juventus will correct their mistakes and try to cover the weaknesses that made them perform poorly so that the point difference will remain the same for the next few matches and Juventus is waiting for Inter Milan to fall, which can be said to be quite difficult to happen because for two seasons they failed to become Serie A champions, especially as Juventus usually dominates, so when they see that Juventus is a team that is having difficulty competing, it is a big opportunity for Inter Milan to become champion.
Juventus still have a chance but unfortunately the percentage is getting smaller and smaller because of their mistakes and when their fate is decided by Inter Milan it makes them no longer favorites as Inter's competitors this season because Inter will comfortably lift the Serie A trophy at the end of the season.
It's very difficult to expect Inter to fall and I think that's something we rarely see this season. Inter are still firmly at the top of the standings and are getting closer to the Scudetto title this season. Juventus' defeat is like something that can no longer be treated and La Vechia Signora will get worse if Milan succeeds in shifting their position in the future. Juventus seemed to have lost their way and it was a shame that the defeat against Udinese should not have happened.

I don't know whether Juventus now has a strong reason to be able to compete with Inter again or not and considering that they are 7 points behind Inter, it will be very difficult for Juventus to reach all of them. Moreover, the two meetings this season have ended for both teams and Juventus can only hope that the other team can beat Inter. It is very regrettable that a team as big as Juventus has to beg other teams if they want the Scudetto this season and I don't think they are fit to be champions. They should forget about this season and come back next season.

Yes, I absolutely agree about Juventus needing to pray. They do not have any chance towards the title if Inter does not start losing. And they will also hope that Inter starts losing quickly. Already the difference is quite big. Juventus has definitely lost the gems themselves. Because they lost points in crucial matches. They also lost some very important matches as well. And inter laying on the top of the table is completely deserved because they did not make any mistakes like that. They were consistent. Of course, we might say that Juventus is going  through some problems right now. But at the end of the day, it does not matter. What matters is whether the team is bringing in winning scores or not.

Bayern Munich two consecutive defeats in two different events have left Tuchel with a bad record. It is hoped that his arrival will bring Bayern even better achievements than Julian Nagelsmann, but so far Bayern losing record in the Tuchel era is worse than in the Nagelsmann era. The results that have just been achieved in the UCL have put Tuchel's abilities in doubt because he is deemed unable to bring Bayern to its best level.

This result proves that Nagelsmann Bayern era was better than Tuchel era. Bayern lost 10 times from 84 matches under Nagelsmann guidance, Meanwhile under Tuchel control, Bayern Munich has lost 10 times in 43 matches. It will be difficult for Bayern to defend the Bundesliga title if they still have difficulty scoring goals. In the last two matches, Bayern always controlled the game, but not a single goal was scored.
Bayern Munich had a rough time in both the domestic league and now Champions League defeat within just four days.
Under Tuchel, Bayern's performance has been disappointing. He might be sacked by the end of the season if he doesn't win the Champions League or the Bundesliga title.
Watching Bayern tonight was disappointing. They seemed to lack passion and were quite sluggish on the field.
Tuchel's Bayern is disappointing me lately. There's promise, but the passion and desire arent there on the field. A lot of thinking about Tuchel's career shows that he excels in uplifting lesser clubs. How about his time with Mainz or Chelsea's UCL win? Manage a powerhouse like Bayern seems to be difficult for him. He excels in transforming underdogs, not leading dominant teams. His situation is difficult, and I wouldnt be surprised if Bayern changes things if things dont improve soon.

Coach Tuchel is the reason for Bayern Munich's  plight? This is not unusual. Managing a team as big as Bayern Munich is not easy. There are many star players in this squad. And with too many star players it becomes difficult to manage the squad. But personally I don't think Tuchel is a bad coach.

Munich's chances of winning the Bundesliga title this season are slim. But is Munich underperforming too much? The Munich team is performing similarly to previous seasons. However, the Leverkusen team has performed incredibly well, so Munich are now second in the table.

This season Munich have lost 3 matches and drawn 2 out of 21 matches. Last season Munich lost 5 matches and drew 8 matches. So it cannot be said that Munich's performance has deteriorated too much this season.

Talking about Manuel Neuer who is still shocked after being out for a long time due to injury, it seems like he has plans to replace him with another goalkeeper is something that is wrong for me because he is recognized as a great goalkeeper and it is natural that he is still shocked when he appears on the field like a player who has just joined the club but this problem of declining performance will not take long because in the near future Manuel Neuer will show his talent again.
I will be more confident if Neuer will be retained in the future because Tuchel still believes that he will remain a goalkeeper who is ready to secure Bayern Munich goal in the Champions League and in Bundesliga matches.
Dude, Manuel Neuer is 37 years old and how long will he be retained by Bayern Munich? Even if he stays until his contract ends in 2025, he will be 38 years old. I don't think it would be good for Bayern Munich if they kept their mainstay goalkeeper for a long time and however every season the level of competition always increases. In this season, Bayern Munich has missed enough so that Leverkusen can make good use of it.

I see the Bundesliga will not be good and neither will the Champions League and you still want to see Neuer stay at Bayern Munich? this really doesn't make sense. Look, other teams have started to improve and have started to forget their legends. They have all moved on from the past and I think Bayern Munich should not continue to be left behind.

As a goalkeeper, I think he can definitely play longer compared to other players. Players who play in other positions have to maintain their physicality a lot and at this age, they can get injured more often. I know that even he gets injured a lot. I think that might be a reason for him which will cause his performance to drop. But if we talk about Bayern Munich, I do not think they should depend on him for any longer and they should definitely look forward to bringing in another really good goalkeeper.  Because even though he is Manual Neuer, he is not going to be able to continue performing really well at the top of the competition.

I also believe that the issue is entirely psychological, given that physically the players are very fresh playing only the Italian championship
unfortunately they are not yet strong enough or psychologically resistant enough, I don't know
But in this way the cant beat Inter
Juventus should be able to improve their performance much more stably compared to their challengers because they are not taking part in other competitions so their concentration can be completely on Serie A. But what happened was the opposite and in several previous matches they lost full points and looked inconsistent. Apart from psychological problems, there may be financial problems that make them unable to recruit the players they need, so coaches have to utilize their existing squads in competition.

Inter Milan have looked much better this season even though they are taking part in other competitions but in Serie A they are still quite consistent. In two meetings, Juventus had to experience one defeat and one draw against Inter Milan and in their last match they were defeated by Udenese.

Now it is going to be a lot of hard work and good luck for Juventus to actually be able to catch inter. Even if from now on Juventus or from perfectly it will be very hard for them to win the title if they do not become lucky. For Juventus to win that title, inter will have to perform pretty badly in some matches. And I definitely do not think that is actually happening. At least not anytime soon.

No the competition is going to be between Milan and Juventus. Inter is far ahead and they also have one match in hand compared to both of them. So right now Inter does not have any competition in my opinion. Unless they screw up really bad

After break out almost one month due AFC Asian Cup 2023, Saudi Pro League will play for matchday 20 in this weekend and we are excited waiting the unbeaten team Al Hilal performance. Before playing the next match in domestic league, Al Hilal will play on 16 of round AFC Champion League and face Sepahan on first leg with away match. I think Al Hilal will make some rotation in domestic league because they have focus for qualifying to quarter final in AFC Champion League have busy schedule match with second leg play three days later after domestic league match.
If anyone watched the games during this period, teams had some friendlies and it's easy to see that they are not good enough at all, the difference is just too big. The league will end with Al-Hilal title without a doubt, they are already ahead, so they should be the winners, but I assumed maybe they would get worse and yet they did not ,the yare still by far better and the yare going to just get the title.

Ittihad got Benzema back, which means nothing at this stage I know but maybe they can climb some positions? Not sure if they would get better, when Benzema was playing he wasn't really making a huge difference so I would not really expect him to suddenly impact that much. He was good because he had chemistry with Madrid.

Al Hilal has been playing really well. Of course, they are unbeaten in the Saudi Pro League. So good performances always going to be expected from them regardless of the competition. And they have definitely been living up to the expectation as well. I have to say I expected better performance from Al Nassr. But to be honest they have disappointed me a little. I thought they would be in for the title race. But they have definitely fallen behind a lot. Sometimes I wonder what is the direction of the career of Cristiano Ronaldo right now. they got him for a reason and they were successful in making the Saudi Pro League more popular. But he is definitely not getting the respect that he deserves. Guy is literally being memed on right now.

my goodness, what a bird of ill omen, it is very true in the end Inter are strong, but in football nothing can ever be said, sometimes teams like Udinese do a lot of damage to big teams, we have seen it
Maybe they are so euphoric that they play at 1000 and scare Inter, I think it is tough but it could work
In any case, even a draw is enough for me.. we hope ahah
It is difficult now to reduce the dominance that Inter have because after all with Inter's current performance, it is quite difficult for other clubs in Serie A to withstand Inter's current consistency.
Previously there were Juventus and Roma who were expected in recent weeks but in the end Inter were still able to give their best performance even 3 points they continued to gain which kept their position at the top of the standings.

Currently the last hope for other clubs is just to expect Inter to experience inconsistency which results in them losing points just like before in the last few seasons where Inter's decline occurred quite quickly which resulted in competition becoming more pronounced but if that doesn't happen then it is certain that in the remaining matches Inter will continue to get points and streak alone in the Scudetto.  

Right now Inter has a seven point advantage and also has a match in hand compared to both the teams below them. So I think it is going to be very hard for the other teams to catch Inter at this moment. Unless Inter makes some really bad decisions and has some really bad performances I think they are good. They will definitely win the league title if they do not face any problems. Actually, there is still a long way to go and we cannot say anything for certain right now. But everyone will have to agree that the advantage which they have is definitely a very big one.

I honestly do not think that it would be wise to get rid of Messi if he wants to play just because you want to make some other young player join. Young player could join later on when Messi retires, but this guy is idol for a whole nation, forget that he is idol for many football fans, many kids all around the world loves him. So him playing is not just about winning, it's cheering with him when he wins and crying with him when he loses.

It is about making a statement with him. They will play him as long as he plays and there won't be anything further than that. I think it would make sense to just keep it going, there is really nothing that would be all that simple, it shouldn't be really possible for anyone else to wonder.
But how well can Messi play if he wants to make the squad to take it to the World Cup? that was the question. I won't deny that he is one of the best players in the world, but to be able to enter the squad that will go to the World Cup he also has to show his best performance. and it would not be wise to force him into the list of players just because he sees that he is one of the best players in the world.
I can understand your point, but I can also understand the meaning of people who say it would be good to give young players a chance. Don't let potential young players be displaced because of the words "world's best player". The coach who will take on this task, whether he is looking at recent performances, or whether he prefers players who have more mentality and experience even though their performances have declined.

There is always a transitional period for everything. And I think right now it is going to be a transitional period for everyone. Because it is still hard for a lot of people to accept the fact that the era of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is over. People are literally wanting to see the retirement of Christina Ronaldo for quite some time now. A player who was the most loved in the world has somehow become the most hated as well.  Lionel Messi has not probably been able to reach the popularity of cristiano Ronaldo but he also has a lot less haters as well 

Anyway I don't think Lionel Messi will actually be able to perform at his best on the next world cup. He might also retire by then,  who knows?

The season experienced by Bayern Leverkusen is truly extraordinary, after beating Bayern Munich with a very convincing victory with a big score of 3-0, I have no doubt in saying that the Bundesliga title this season belongs to Bayer Leverkusen. Of course they will continue to maintain their consistency to make history by winning the Bundesliga title for the first time. Honestly, I still can't believe they have never lost in the Bundesliga, Xabi Alanso has really turned this team into a team with a winning mentality.

With 31 games played without a lose this season, We never thought Bayern Leverkusen would play this well this season. Leverkusen defeated Bayern Munich 3:0 without conceding any goal, and they deserve to win the championship this season. I did not anticipate Bayern Munich would lose to Leverkusen without scoring any goals, after all, their first game ended in a draw, so I assumed the outcome of this second match would also be the same, if Bayern Munich did not win, i wasn't expecting them lose. Some even said that Kane had brought bad luck to the team.

Xabi Alonso and his team are playing amazing, they haven't lost any Bundesliga games, currently have five points ahead of Bayern Munich in the league table. I hope they can keep up this level of play after defeating Bayern Munich and win the Bundesliga title, I really want Leverkusen to break the long standing record that Bayern Munich has kept for many years, i believe they won't make the same mistakes that Dortmund did last season.

Going such a long way without losing a single match is really great and I don't know about others but I definitely did not expect that. gentle correction, 21 matches have been played so far, not 31.

So there is still a long way to go. At the same time, the difference they have created with Bayern Munich is definitely a good one. Bayern Munich has been able to play well. But in this season they have not been able to match the performance of the top title contender Leverkusen. The difference is 5 points right now. Even though it does not look very big, it is going to be very important for both the teams.

Yeah we have to admit in this match Chelsea played well came as an away team they managed to dominate the match at the same time win the match but I don't think that this is Chelsea's resurrection because previously Chelsea were defeated 2 times so it can be said that Chelsea are inconsistent, unless Chelsea can win 2 more matches, maybe we can call it Chelsea's resurrection. Currently Chelsea are still stuck in the 10th place and I'm not sure they can take a better place, as I said before Chelsea were unable to compete with Manchester United and Aston Villa to take places to the top 5.

Next week Chelsea will fight 2 strong teams on February 18 against Manchester City then against Tottenham well I think Chelsea will lose 5 points in these 2 matches lost against Manchester City and maybe a draw against Tottenham, that's why I say it will be difficult for Chelsea to take a better place in the standings. Indeed anything can happen in every match but for now we can compare the history of their match against a strong team especially against the teams that are struggling in the top 4.
The results of Crystal Palace match against Chelsea were very tense, as if we had no hope of winning, but from the 90+ minute, 2 goals were scored to break the deadlock. What I really appreciate are the 2 assists from Palmer, he seems to have found a comfortable place at Chelsea. This victory was not enough for Chelsea to cover up the defeat from the previous match. We are not even sure whether this season they will be able to finish in the top 6. Statistically and from consistency it is still difficult for Chelsea to get out of trouble. Moreover, next time we face Manchester City, which in terms of quality will clearly be very difficult to beat. Even though in the last match the two shared points, because Manchester City's ambitions have recovered with an ideal squad, the result will be a little different.

Yeah, Surprisingly Chelsea did very well in this match. Actually, I was hoping that this match was going to be very competitive and Chelsea might not be able to win. You can't deny, of course on paper they looked really good but the performance from Chelsea in this season has been inconsistent. So I thought they might not be able to win.

But they definitely dominated the match. In the end, I will say that they got the well deserved victory. when I saw the score being level on the 90th minute, there was no way Chelsea could win, this was totally luck. But it was a good performance which made them successful in breaking the defense of the opponent.

It seems like today we have a lot of topics of conversation ranging from Atletico's defeat to Barcelona's draw and perhaps quite a few bettors experienced losses in these two matches last night.

Let's start from Sevilla vs Atletico which maybe everyone already knows the result but it is the same as expected and here Sevilla as the host managed to beat Atletico who have had a better performance so far. Sevilla's only winning goal was scored by Isaac Romero in the 15th minute using an assist from Ocampos and this advantage did not change until the final minutes of the match. I have often said that this match is actually considered a big match if both teams still remember the prestige that exists, regardless of how far apart they are in the standings. The result was also not as expected and Sevilla still holds the tradition of prestige against Atletico and I think that is a good thing. Smiley

Then the result was the same 3-3 draw from Barcelona's match against Granada and who would have thought that Barcelona still couldn't beat Granada so far. If we look at the H2H of the two teams, we should already know that the results of all their meetings ended in a draw and it seems that the H2H record is still important for the matches between these two teams. Even since 2021, it has been observed that Barcelona has not been able to beat Granada and isn't this very bad for a team as big as Barcelona, which has no hope of winning the title but is still getting nightmares from Granada. Well, the result was that the two top teams had to swallow less than optimal results from the bottom teams and that was certainly quite painful. Sad

This was definitely very unexpected. I did not think that any of these two teams would actually drop points in this match. But it does not turn out as expected always. I don't know why but I cannot expect anything special from Barcelona this season. They have been playing like trash. I know there will be some people who will actually take the side of Barcelona and say that they have been through a lot and a lot of other things to defend Barcelona. But as the defending champion they should have done a lot better. Yes, I know that the situation is not good. But making excuses are not going to cut it for them. They will have to show performance.

About Atletico Madrid, I think they just had a bad day. Because they definitely should have won this match and when we also think about the form that Sevilla is in right now nobody actually expected them to win. It was actually a big surprise.

Maybe most of you already watched Sean Strickland's sparring session with an influencer named Sneako. Sneako thought it would be a fun sparring session. But Sean let his hands go at the last minute busting Sneako's face. And Sean did not even stop the carnage even if there were a lot of towels being thrown already. Cheesy

Maybe this way, fighters who are locked in by their promotional contracts and are not allowed to make even exhibition fights can still earn through sparring sessions with influencers like Jake Paul that will be shown live online. I would love Sean busting Jake Paul's face. Cheesy



It is definitely not going to be as easy as Sneako. Jake Paul is actually good. I saw the fight/spar between Sean Strickland and Sneako. It definitely did not like a sparring session in the last 30 seconds. Sean Strickland went all out. I am actually surprised to see Sneako standing after taking that beating. And all those people who are saying that Sean should not have gone that hard, what the dude literally wanted is sparring session with Sean Strickland. What did he expect?

I think this definitely has sparked the conversation of Sean versus Jake Paul. There is a lot of back and forth talking going on between these two in Twitter. Let's see what happens.

I think Mbappe has achieved all he can achieve in the French Ligue 1. There is no motivation to keep him at Paris Saint-Germain any longer. There are claims in some media that he has almost unlimited powers at Paris Saint-Germain. But I think Paris Saint-Germain is a finished mission for him. Now I'm sure he has a new challenge in mind. If he chose money, he would have said yes to the Arabs' offer at the beginning of the season. I think he is preparing for a new challenge.
There is a lot of news circulating on social media that Real madrid doesn't seem to have high hopes for Mbappe because there is so much drama going on, meaning Mbappe could just give Real madrid false hopes at the end of this season. On the PSG side, they are still confident that Mbappe will sign a new contract which has been prepared with a bigger salary and lots of bonuses in their latest proposal. We can assume that Mbapoe has completed his mission with PSG, but we know that PSG really want to keep mbappe staying with them.

Let's just look at the latest news because every day there is always a lot of news about Mbappe going to Real madrid. Indeed, it would be quite lucky if Real Madrid were able to get Mbappe services because Mbappe quality is no longer in doubt so he can make a lot of contributions to Real madrid.

There is always going to be news about Mbappe going or not going to Real Madrid. I think it is better to actually wait and see what happens. Because at the end of the day, most of the news are going to be fake in my opinion, they are just trying to get views. A lot of news that is heard through the media is bullshit.  I think as long as Mbappe is not going to make any decision and stay in PSG, these news are going to circulate no matter what.

So far what way surely know is that Real Madrid is definitely working very hard to get him in the team. I think there is a possibility that Real Madrid will successfully bring him in the squad. But until then a lot of rumors are going to spread.

Real Madrid is currently still behind Girona with a difference of only 2 points, but for Real Madrid of course this will be a challenge for them to achieve victory even though they think Girona is a team that is not easy to beat, and so does Girona. Girona believes that Real Madrid is a team that cannot be underestimated.
When Madrid successfully broke the strong wall of Girona with 4 goals, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid could not grab 3 points. Barcelona ended in a draw, while Atletico Madrid lost. Yes, like a special gift for Madrid. Madrid's 3 points increase the points gap with these three teams. It's an advantage, then Madrid just have to maximize every remaining game without making mistakes. In addition, this also proves, Girona is still too difficult to win against experienced big teams. But indeed this is a competition in several games, the champion cannot be determined in 1 match result. After this I hope Real Madrid will continue to work and move further away with a bigger and bigger points difference.

Real Madrid players performed  well against  Girona in both home and away matches. And Real Madrid cemented their place at the top of the table by thrashing Girona 4-0 in  the last match. Madrid players performed well in this match. And this year's La League They proved once again that Madrid are worthy title contenders.

Madrid are now 5 points  ahead of  Girona after beating Girona in their last match. Real Madrid's performance has  been very consistent. So I don't think it will be possible for Girona to close this  5 point gap. Real Madrid is going to be this year's La Liga champions.

Napoli are finished and they will not produce anything this season. The defeat against Milan has ended what they have been longing for this season and I think being able to finish in the middle of the table is realistic for them at this time. Competition is getting tighter in the mid-table and quite a number of lower teams have started to lurk, such as Torino, Monza, and even Genoa.

It was unexpected that Napoli would be this devastated and to be honest, even if they couldn't defend the title, at least they should be able to secure the top 4. But what we saw was very far from expectations and it looks like next season we will see Napoli have a new coach to replace Walter Mazzarri. Inconsistency is the main reason why they get less than optimal results and whether there is Osimhen or not they are the same and there is no change.
Although I think that Napoli's defeat by AC Milan is a natural thing considering that the match also took place at AC Milan's home ground, which makes AC Milan more favored. But if we talk about Napoli's overall performance this season. So I agree that Napoli this season is really bad. the decrease in performance that occurs is too large. Well, I also think because last season Napoli won Serie A, it is natural that Napoli should be in the top 4 at this time. But unfortunately currently Napoli is ranked 9th. And yes, this ranking is very far from my expectations. I think Napoli this season will find it difficult to return to the top 4. But I think the hope of getting to 5th place is still there. Because it is only 4 points different from Bologna, which is currently ranked 5th, it doesn't seem that difficult with the remaining matches this season.

I got the expected result in this match. I don't expect  Napoli to win. It was AC Milan's  home match. And my guess was that Milan would dominate their home matches and win. Milan's players could not dominate the match but they managed to win. Theo Hernandez scored a narrow 1-0 win for AC Milan.

The situation of the Napoli team is very bad right now. In the last 5 matches they have won 2 matches and lost 2 matches. Napoli are now trying to qualify for the Champions League. Maybe they can't do that either. Napoli are now seven points behind fourth-placed Atalanta in the table.

In Tennis Doha, several top players are not playing like Jessica Pegula and Aryna Sabalenka, this will make Iga Swiatek very favorite to defend the title and make it three in a row, but Swiatek is often not very strong when playing on hard courts so this is still doubt because several other top players can break their targets, such as Elena Rybakina and Cocco Gauff where both of them has success won the title this year in difference tournament. Also, if Jelena Ostapenko performs well, she will be the one who can thwart Swiatek because she is often a hassle for Swiatek..

Rotterdam Open, Jannik Sinner will return to play after a few weeks of rest and he is the top seed in this tournament, and if he is still at his best when he wins the Australian Open then it will be difficult for other players to stop him from becoming champion in this tournament and continuing winning streak, especially Daniil Medvedev as the defending champion will not play.

Currently a lot of matches are going on in the Qatar open. A lot of matches are also going to start very soon. This is the round of 64. And as this is the women's singles, I am expecting a lot of surprises in this tournament.

Swiatek has a match in the round of 32 which will be played today and I don't think it is going to be a big problem for her. She should be able to win the match without too many problems. I can definitely see her playing in the finals. But as I said, it is the women's competition. So unexpected things can happen on a regular basis.

I think that Sinner will do very well in this tournament. He is expected to do well. Even though some players who could be very good competition for him or not playing, it will still be hard. But he definitely has the capability as well.
