Are you Bayern Munich fan?  
Sure, there must be many people who feel disappointed with Bayern Munich. People want to see a tight match, people assume Bayern Munich will score goals. Unfortunately, Leverkusen dominates the chances for scoring goals and they succeed to score 3 goals. Meanwhile Bayern Munich only won the ball possessions, they scored no goals.

Well, the point from this match is also very crucial. By this defeat, Bayern Munich missed the chance to overtake Leverkusen on the table. Leverkusen even leads the table with a more convincing point now, they have 5 difference points with Bayern Munich now. I think with the gap, Leverkusen is more confident to win the title of Bundesliga for this season.

I disagree if you said Barcelona as a mediocre team.
Barcelona is still one of the strong teams in La Liga. If they are a mediocre team, they won't play in UCL. 

Barcelona management isn't patient, they want an instant result although they have no ability to win any title instantly. If they keep Xavi, I think Xavi can bring another title for the next season. I don't know why Barcelona management seems too hurry to replace Xavi with a new coach for the next season. Yes, no top coaches who want to get a less salary there. So, it is very doubtful that Barcelona can get Xavi's replacement with a quality manager/coach.

No, dude. Barcelona have many young talented players from their academy. Barcelona won't be a retirement home, they must have a plan to sell their current old players. There is a rumor that they will put Lewandowski on the transfer list, so they can sign a younger striker for Barcelona next season. If you check the squad of Barcelona, they have many young players.

Although AS Roma was defeated by Inter Milan, but I can agree AS Roma did good performance in the match against Inter Milan. I don't know if it is the best performance, it is just one of good performance for me. Inter Milan is the strongest team in Serie A this season, we can understand if AS Roma won't have the chance to win. However, AS Roma has scored 2 goals, it means they have made difficulty for Inter Milan.

Indeed. Inter Milan is likely to be the champion of Serie A this season. No team can defeat them now, they are getting stronger.

Unless Juventus can win the title of Serie A, I think Juventus still have the intention to change Allegri with a new coach. Conte seems to be the next coach of Juventus for the next season.

Correct. It is OOT (out of topic). If we want to discuss about Serie A, we must go to Serie A discussion thread, it doesn't belong here.
This thread is for European League, we must focus on discussing to everything related to European League.  

AS Roma can improve their performance lately, I think they will have a chance to perform well in this competition, too. Under De Rossi;s management, people expect AS Roma to qualify for the next round. AS Roma will play against Feyenoord, they are not an easy opponent but AS Roma should have the chance to beat them.

De Rossi has proven that he has the ability to manage AS Roma. He can win some matches recently. If he can keep the positive rally for AS Roma in domestic league, it may bring good impacts to the match of European League as well.

You're right. Al Nassr has no good coach although they have many top players. The role of the coach isn't bigger than Ronaldo, it is the main problem of Al Nassr. I think Al Nassr must sign a top coach like Mourinho who can deal with the ego of a big player like Ronaldo. So, the tactic applied by the coach can be used effectively in the field. If the player like Ronaldo didn't follow the instruction of the coach, they won't play as a solid team.

Ronaldo must play together with their teammates, he shouldn't play too individually. And he is the captain of the team, he must be wise. Al Nassr must focus on improving Ronaldo's performance, don't only focus on the marketing.

Is it true that Ronaldo threw the fan's scarf?
If it is true, Ronaldo makes a statement to the media to clear the issue.

So, at the end of this season, at least, Barcelona will lose 2 influencing people, Xavi and also de Jong. Well, de Jong decision to leave Barcelona at the end of this season makes some hopes for other clubs especially in Premier league to watch for the continuity. As what is done by Man United that is probably still expecting for this player. Also Arsenal may accept this. From his explanation, it is understandable that he was very disappointed with Barcelona for several reasons. But yes, who knows, this might actually be the right decision for him to develop further at another club that is more suitable for him.

Real Betis started this week's matches very well. a 0 - 2 win against Cadiz could at least take them to 6th place even temporarily. Indeed, there is tight competition between the club and Real Sociedad because after all they are fighting over tickets to the UCL or not, or finally to the UEFA Europe League. If Real Sociedad win against Osasuna, it means that the 6 place will be taken over again.

Dortmund started this season not really well. Whereas in the last season, they are the one competing tightly with Bayern Munich. So, right now. Dortmund must do more efforts to prove that they are still a club that is still very worthy of being taken into account. Although the point is exactly still far away from Bayern Munich and Leverkusen, at least they are still able to join the Champions League if they are on top 3 or 4.  In this match, Dortmund seems to be more ready and controlling the match dominantly. SC Freiburg is also a strong club, but in this match, they were lack of something. I think that In fact, they seemed to have a little difficulty to get into Dortmund's goal. In this match, Dortmund should be able to start again to consistently get full points in every match.

It will be a tough match, whatever the winner, even it is Leverkusen or Bayern will be really interesting, it should be. But I don't think that Bayern may be defeated as easy. This may be a great challenge for Xabi CS to defend Bayern and do more attack on them. but, we still don't know how will it happen because I am sure that Bayern will also play optimally to reach the points, because their target of course for the first position in the standing.

True. Bayern Munich needs Alphonso Davies to help them to be the champion of the UCL this season. Alphonso Davies also still has a contract with Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich won't let him to leave now. I'm also not really sure if Real Madrid is very possible to sign Alphonso Davies, he has a big role in th defense line of Bayern Munich. Besides Alphonso Davies must focus on winning both local competitions and UCL, he is also a part of main players of Bayern Munich that seem impossible to move.

Sure, if he joins Real Madrid, it is very good addition for Real Madrid defense. But Real Madrid must sell Ferland Mendy, I don't think Real Madrid will sell Fran García. Considering the quality of Alphonso Davies, he is a perfect player for Real Madrid. However, I am a bit doubtful with the chance of this player to leave Bayern Munich.

Kalau dari jumlah post, saya rasa tidak banyak yang berubah dalam beberapa tahun belakangan. Mungkin yang berubah dari jumlah member yang aktif, memang hanya member-member itu saja yang sering aktif.

Bisa saja turun gan, tapi sepertinya tidak terlalu banyak menurun. Saya lihat mulai ada lagi campaign signature bagus di board bounty altcoins. Ini akan membuat banyak lagi member-member yang post di board lokal karena post lokalnya dihitung. Yang sulit jika banyak BM yang tidak menghitung post lokal, ini membuat banyak member yang jarang mampir.

In this close match it was quite tough for Inter when playing against Juventus, although finally they won it. and in the next matches, They will compete against AS Roma in Serie A, which incidentally is not a small club. Even though they may not be as strong and as great as Inter, Roma also has the motivation and strength of the squad which must be considered very carefully. And if Inter doesn't bring out the main squad, then this will be quite risky.

On the other hand, Inter will also have a match against Atletico Madrid in the UCL match. This will certainly be quite difficult for Inter. because after all Atletico Madrid is currently in very ready and good form. Even though Inter may be superior in several things, Atletico Madrid are quite troublesome and if they don't focus a little, they might miss their chance.

Exactly, it is doubtful that Everton can win the match against Man City.  We have seen how Everton performance so far, This is not kind of hard things to be controlled by Man City. Pep Guardiola has all full team in fit condition. So he won't be difficult to pick and put the players that will be played against Everton. As we know that Man City will also go to Copenhagen for the first leg of round 16. So, there will be certain lineups to be used by Pep in order to be optimal both in UCL and also EPL. There will probably any rotating main lineup during the match by seeing the probabilities. They must not let any main squad to be injured before the UCL match.

Indeed, moreover if we are considering each performance this season, real Madrid is stronger from Leipzig. Although it will be held in Leipzig at first, but Real Madrid mental has been controlled enough, so this should be any difficult challenges for hem. Although if we are seeing from its H2H of Real Madrid vs Leipzig, it is still the same:


But, we are talking recent chance in this season. Both will play full main team. This first match will really becomes a decisive match for this round 16. They have two legs that can be chances for every club. Whatever happened in the first leg will become evaluation o the next leg that will be more decisive.

Sure, no team wants to get a draw result. However, the draw is very possible if we consider the current condition of both teams. Leverkusen probably will prefer to play more defensively because they know Bayern Munich has strong attackers. Meanwhile Bayern Munich will play very carefully because they understand that Leverkusen can surprise them in the match. In the first meeting, they got a draw even if the match was held in Bayern Munich home. Now, the match will be held in Leverkusen home, Leverkusen will have the advantage of better supports from their home fans.

It is true that it is the right time to show the best performance. 3 points will be very important because it will determine which team to have better chance of winning the trophy, specifically for Leverkusen. If Leverkusen can beat Bayern Munich, they will lead with 5 points. Then, Leverkusen will lead the table with more comfortable points.

I agree that Barcelona will have no ability to pay Mbappe's salary. I'm also not sure Barcelona want to sell some players with high salaries. If they lose too many players, they will have a problem with the squad balance. They need enough players to experience the whole season. And most of the players of high salaries are their key players. So, it seems very unlikely that Barcelona to sell the players with high salaries.

What for $100m? They won't pay anything if they sign Mbappe after his contract expires. The problem isn't about the transfer fees but it is about the amount of the salary. Mbappe has huge salary in PSG, he mustn't want to decrease too much money for his new salary. And surely Mbappe expects to win the UCL title, meanwhile Barcelona squad looks not in the right condition to win the trophy.

True. The rich people won't regret it when they spend a small amount of money. But the poor people will regret it whatever the amount of money they spend for gambling. It is because the poor people have no much money, they have limited amount of money. The poor people won't gamble the whole day because they have no enough money. But the rich people may gamble the whole day because they are capable to do it. So, the chance for losing bigger money is surely for the rich people.

It is impossible that the poor people will be with huge money. Where they get the money? If they have huge money, they will prefer to fulfill their daily needs. And about stopping gambling when they win it, it depends on the person, there is nothing to do with the poor status. There is also no guarantee that the poor people can have good luck to win it easily.

It is undeniable that they have gone through various things, with various conditions in Liverpool where sometimes the ups and downs are very noticeable. When he was sometimes berated by his fans for failing to bring Liverpool to victory, and when he was praised in such a way when he won. It's like it's very attached to him. And he will definitely never be forgotten.

Indeed, in some betting, they prefer Feyenoord. Maybe because many parties still doubt de Rossi's ability to manage and get the players in the squad back to their best performance. And de Rossi is a new coach, so, there are still many who doubt him. But personally, if it can be like the recent matches in Serie A and even better, then I hope that Roma will advance to the next round.

The Chelsea's victory against Aston Villa 3 - 1 becomes a hot topic at the moment. For, we know how their both performance and achievement in the Premier League. Most people might think that Aston Villa would win, so did I. but in fact, Chelsea really gave unexpected result here, moreover in this match, they also could show little bit thing like Chelsea at the past. Whatever the performance, Chelsea won this match and continue to the next round.
Anyway, Chelsea will play against Leeds United while Nottm Forest vs Man United..


But, we still don't know whether Chelsea is able to do it until final or not because there are still several top clubs being there that are competing. And after this round, the match will be tougher and tighter of course.

It is very reasonable if Real Madrid only wants to pay €150m for the current transfer window. It is because Real Madrid will sign him for free after this season ends, Mbappe's contract will expire soon. If I were the president of Real Madrid, I prefer to wait for the end of Mbappe's contract. So, Real Madrid doesn't need to pay anything to PSG management.

It is strange if PSG only wants to sell Mbappe for €500m because Mbappe's contract is almost over. They will get nothing if Mbappe doesn't want to extend his contract. I think PSG management is too confident with their price target for Mbappe. Or PSG management just wants to make another drama for Mbappe. To be honest, what PSG management did is very annoying. 

If we look at the current condition of Leipzig in Bundesliga, they are not as well as the previous seasons. This season, they are very struggling to survive in the top 5 of Bundesliga. They even can be defeated 5 goals by VfB Stuttgart, which means their defense looked weaker this season. In UCL, they also got defeated 2 times during the group stage. This indicates that Leipzig isn't in their best form, they are very unlikely to surprise us in UCL.

Against Real Madrid in UCL should be with the best form. Leipzig won't have the chance to beat Real Madrid if their defense is fragile. Real Madrid attackers looks strong enough in recent time, they are ready to join the race for the UCL trophy. In the other hand, Real Madrid is a specialist winner of UCL, they usually have a good record in every season although they fail to win the trophy. It won't be a big problem for Real Madrid to win against Leipzig. It will be an obstacle only if they play against Man City or Bayern Munich.

I'm also surprised that your friend could share a half of the prizes to you and friends. No doubt that he is a very kind person, I think it is his nature that he is happy to share with friends and relatives. It is nothing to do with gambling, but it is related to personal nature. If you are a kind person, you will be always easy to share your happiness. But if you are stingy, you will be never happy to share the prizes even if it is just a small amount of money.

Anyway, I think your other friends will follow him. They will feel shame if they are always treated by him. However, this is a good thing, you are lucky that you have a very generous friend.

I also will share some of the prizes whenever I win the prizes. But I won't share a half of the prizes, it may be around 20% of the prizes. I think we are almost the same, we are generous but we aren't as generous as your friend. It is true that we need to be generous because our close people deserve to have the happiness as well.
