I saw on the news Ten Hag said they would have a hard game without Christian Eriksen and Casemiro and this will damage the team but in fact, they should be ready to play without these players and they need to have the potential to play without some key players like Casemiro and Eriksen, however, I guess Eriksen will be ready for the next game in Manchester United against Everton.

I actually see it from a different side, Messi presence in the Barcelona squad will further improve the quality of Barcelona's game. Messi will take on a new role this time around, he will be shifted to the center to serve the attackers with his beautiful cross. He can also set the rhythm of the game well, the 4-3-3 formation can still be used with the current attacking scheme, Messi will fill in as an attacking midfielder.

Young players can learn directly from Messi, his presence in the squad can help their development. Dembele is one of the players who experienced rapid development when playing with Messi. Messi presence will not cause problems in Barcelona game, he is not the type of player who is hungry for individual titles. This time, his status as a teacher for other young players, his existence will really help Barcelona in the title race in the following season.

Barcelona versus Real Madrid: a battle of the giants! Seeing these two giants go at it is something, ain't it? The passion, enthusiasm, and showmanship are all thrilling to witness. And with fervent supporters of both teams in attendance, the vibe is positively electrifying!

But let's get down to the nitty-gritty. These teams are mad talented, and they've got loads to put on the line. Winning's dope, but strutting their stuff for the world to see? That's the real deal. Real Madrid's sweating the La Liga chase, Champions League, and Copa de Rey, while Barca's gotta prove they ain't slippin'. They've had some rough spots, but they're hungry to show they're still a powerhouse.

As for the score, nah, I gotta disagree. Real fan here, so I'm calling it 2-0 for Real in this face-off. They're coming for that sweet revenge!

Juventus - Sporting is going to be a quite close matchup in my opinion. I don't see a big difference especially after Sporting eliminated the biggest favourite of the tournament which was Arsenal in last round.

This is making Sporting a pretty dangerous team actually. Arsenal were one of the best attacking teams in the Europa League. But Sporting still somehow resisted them in Emirates also and made it to this round by penalties. Juventus are going to be a more different opponent for them though. Juventus would play more cautious against Sporting which can make things more interesting in this matchup. It feels like Juventus can get a good result in Turin in the first leg. In that case Sporting's job would be quite difficult home.

Sacrificing the team to hide the strategy is quite unfortunate, but if Napoli continues to play with the maximum style of play then I'm sure Napoli will not lose with a score of 4-0. Indeed, I also realize that every team will certainly experience a decline in performance and also experience defeat, but because Napoli lost by a big score, maybe there is something that Napoli did not maximize in yesterday's match against Milan.

So yes, let's look forward to their final results in the Champions League, because if I consider their record so far then of course Napoli still has a big chance to beat Milan. But, if surprises can still happen and can be obtained by Milan, then maybe Napoli will fall in that phase.

BREAKING: Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal have sent out a bid of €400 million/year for the greatest player of all time, Lionel Messi.

Messi's priority right now is to stay in Europe. Barcelona are waiting on FFP issues before sending out a contract offer for Messi.




With Messi coming to the Arab League, this is very interesting, many are looking forward to them, Ronaldo vs Messi will compete again.

AC Milan vs. Napoli is another fascinating matchup. At their base, Napoli, which has been very consistent in the Serie A and Champions League, lost by a wide margin of 0-4 to AC Milan. Napoli holds a commanding lead in the Serie A standings, the defeat before their first-leg match will have some psychological effects on both teams. AC Milan at San Siro will be more certain and less constrained. Napoli needs to refuel its lineup and does not feel invincible. Before the first leg with AC Milan, they can regain their confidence in the match with Lecce.

It seems increasingly difficult to expect either of these two teams to win the match. It's been 90+ minutes both of them haven't found a goal, so I think a draw is more likely for this match. Chelsea's attacking scheme is basically good, but they haven't been effective so far for scoring goals. But good, Bruno Saltor's game plan today wasn't too bad especially if they were able to avoid defeat.

As you are expecting Chelsea to win their match, that's how many football fans are expecting Liverpool to win their match also. After Liverpool won over Manchester United with a 7-goal margin they are yet to win any of their premier league matches till now. It is expected of them to at least win their match against Chelsea which is not in a good form(lest I forget that both teams are in their worst form of play). It will be too hard to predict the club that 3 points to go. A point for both clubs is what I predicted because of their head-to-head matches

.

These are not Bundesliga games, but German Cup matches. Therefore, they will not affect the standings in any way. Although they should indeed be interesting because they are between the leaders of the Bundesliga. By the way, Bayern will face Freiburg twice in a row, today and in four days in the Bundesliga. But they also have a game against Manchester City in the Champions League soon, so I'm not sure Bayern will take any chances against Freiburg.

It's really normal for Bayern Munich beat Dortmund, without Tuchel Bayern Munich is already a good club and can beat every clubs in Bundesliga. Dortmund has lost many of good players because they're prefer to sell their players rather than develop their club to win in every league. The most disappointing of Dortmund when they get beaten by Chelsea which many people think Chelsea will easily lost and can't move to the next round.

All of the players will become even older and it can't be avoided. That's why regeneration is a must to make sure there will be so many young talented players to come as replacements for the old players. If you are a fan of those players and it's very hard to accept it but this is reality. There is so many legends that has gone. The new seeds were just coming to become another legend again. There will always be legends that will be born in any era of football.

That's why real madrid was aiming to get a good striker as a replacement for lewandowski. Lewandowski has become one of main attackers in madrid but he also becomes even older.
The club needs to find someone who will able to replace him as a striker in real madrid and osimhen is the answer.

After the crazy game in Munich against Dortmund where i was really disappointed from Dortmund and lost my bet i guess
Bayern Munich should be have no problem playing about Freiburg today , if Freiburg will win this that would be a surprise.
There are more games today , Frankfurt is playing at home against Union Berlin , both games are interesting

Tomorrow Dortmund plays in Leipzig and Nürnberg plays at home against Stuttgart where i hope that Nürnberg will win.

I'm still favouring Manchester United very highly to eliminate Sevilla in this round of the tournament. Manchester United are the most favoured team for the Europa League title as well according to bookmakers now.

There is a reason for that of course. They were already one of the biggest favourites while Arsenal were still a part of the tournament. Now they really look like the strongest team among the ones left. They don't play like they care about the Europa League less than the Premier League. Sevilla can't hold them off that easy with this level of performance. They are having a really poor season and they should have been eliminated already by now.

I still prefer to pick liverpool over chelsea. Liverpool has been showing good performance against manchester city even though it was losing 4-1 against city. The only problem is liverpool's defenders but the next opponent was chelsea. A club that has performed even worst compared with liverpool itself. The new coach is making chelsea will still in the adaptation stage. I don't even expect chelsea to make a single goal against liverpool.

The fact that chelsea is having so many problems that have not yet been fixed. The new coach will be also under very big pressure. Chelsea was just changing its coach. I doubt if the current coach of chelsea has good experience in managing the club too.

It's very hard to say if chelsea will win the game. I still prefer to take liverpool.

No doubt about ability of Tuchel as he got good management results in Mainz, Dortmund, PSG and Chelsea. Bayern Munich have a good squad and they have winning tradition so it would be more easily for Tuchel to work with them than with PSG. In addition, in Bayern Munich, star players don't have big privileges like PSG gave their star players. It is great success as Bayern Munich already took over the first position from Dortmund and they are on a good track to win Bundesliga.

Manchester City and Pep Guardiola won't feel comfortable after Bayern Munich got that big win over Dortmund. They got a signal that Bayern Munich are actually strong from their matches with PSG (in round of 16) and with Dortmund days ago. They would feel fearful about history of Tuchel to win Champions League as an alternative coach in middle of season.

just like barcelona who was eliminated from the european league, everyone also didn't expect it but that's football, we have to be able to accept that fact

the European league is really very tight, even though in their local league, Sporting is ranked 4th in the standings but they are quite tough when facing arsenal, now I favor man utd or juventus who are most likely to win

Actually, on Ten Hag era McTominay played well in the center but as we know he is still one an unstable MU player, so if filling up the empty position, this is not guaranteed to play like Eriksen or Casemiro, and I heard Ten Hag have a new strategy to put him as attacker also which I think this situation will make him so upset in which position he should play in the best performance.

Real Madrid's opponents in the quarter-finals of the Champions League are powerful Chelsea. Despite Chelsea's poor performance in other leagues, the team will be keen not to miss out on the Champions League quarter-finals. For which they will play with their best in that match. But I am ahead of Real Madrid in the match.

Monaco played very well in this match. But Strasbourg's performance was not bad. Both the teams performed well and we got a chance to enjoy a competitive match. We saw 7 goals in this match. However, both team did not make many shots. But each of their attacks was excellent. Monaco had only 9 shots in this match. In this, they were able to score 4 goals. If Strasbourg's defense was strong, maybe Monaco would not have scored four goals so easily. Even after the win in this match, Monaco remains fourth in the points table. There is no change in their position in the points table.
