Here we go, guys. The Round of 16 first leg between Barcelona and Napoli resulted in a 1-1 draw. Barcelona is dominating the game with possession as well as shots on target. If we look at the status of the match, Barcelona has attempted 12 shots while Napoli has only 6. 
 
Besides that, from this match if Barcelona are looking good. They're doing well after the Xavi announcement about leaving the club. And if they are continuing their best performance, possibly they could win the UEFA Champions league. This is their first leg come to 1-1, but let's see what will happen in the second leg. Share your opinion with us, guys.

It's not safe yet for napoli or i must say the chance to lose in the second leg is very big for napoli. I will pick barcelona as superior in the second leg caused by playing at home will be impacting the performance from the club a lot. Im still wondering why either of them was not dominating the game.
I think that im feeling convenient enough to pick barcelona at the second leg. Napoli is not that strong this time with very wrong management that can't use the full potential owned by the club. Things are going even more crazily.
Porto will be going to the arsenal's home and the chance to win the game is very small. We do know that how strong napoli is and porto can use fully defensive strategy to make sure it can still lead the game till the end of second leg. The quality of players owned by porto are equal compared to the arsenal.
I can't even believe it. Napoli's performance is also fuckin awful. I can't even say that as a good performance from napoli. This team still plays like shit.

Even though city won with narrow score but this can at least save city to stick on liverpool. I thought that city would be ended with draw as the final result but i was wrong about that. haaland became the key for city to get three points. It was so damn good for brentford to keep city with zero score until the second half.
The main weakness from city can be seen from that match. Brentford played with so many midfielders and this is also making city feels a bit difficult to score caused by there are many players in the mid. CIty was not able playing freely.

I think that city was lucky enough to win the game. It would be another disaster of this club will be ended with the draw as the final result. It's not that good to see that city to lose another points. People have been hoping this club to continue its domination in EPL.
It makes other club have no chance to win the competition as long as manchester city was still there. De bruyne and haaland have become the main key for the club to win the game. I think they will stay for many years.

The gap between city and liverpool are not so big but that's enough to give pressure for liverpool which is placing at the top position right now.

Is that mean if real madrid must kick vini out from club? that is not what i wanted to see. Vini is also in the same level as mbappem, the most possible thing to give him number nine 9. I don't see other number that fits him other than this one. Will madrid place mbappe as right winger? it's not possible to happen.
What we are willing to see mbappe to play together with vini and bellingham. The only possible thing to put him as striker then rodrygo goes to the right wing. This is the possible strategy that can be used in this club. Brahim diaz gets another strong competitor.
Madrid has not yet talked about the future of joselu in the club. It seems like that he will be leaving from the club caused by his contract will be running out. Even though madrid paid him very low compared to the what he got from espanyol but he was happy enough staying in madrid.
I don't see other possibility than it. It will be so stupid to kick vini for mbappe. These guys must have stayed in the club even longer. Mbappe can become a striker and this is good enough to finishing the final combination built by ancellotti.
Madrid can play as a striker as well and there's need to feel worry about that. He will be going his job very well.

Can they rely upon their financial condition forver? It will be another disaster caused by real madrid will never ever got profit from what they have ben invested. Im sure that saudi pro league was using a lot of resources to push the popularity from this league. Let's imagine that when these old players will retire someday.
It will be also making the league to get another setback. So, the league shall not only focus on how to buy the players but it must be also focusing on how to build good environment to make european players feel convenient to stay in the saudi pro league. This is the most possible solution that can be done by saudi pro league.

How can you say that? did you mean play away is an easy task? come one my friend. Atletico madrid was playing away and it was being so far from what i have expected. I thought atletico madrid could lost with more than three goals but it's not happening. It proves that if atletico madrid was capable enough to handling the club to fully defensive against intermilan.
Intermilan is the strongest club and this is my main reason to say that if atletico madrid was lucky enough to have only conceded 1 goal against intermilan. I could be more than it and this is also giving atletico madrid more advantage rather than conceded a lot of goals.

Intermilan could be scored as manmy goals as possible but i must admit that both of clubs have very strong defensive lines. This is why intermilan was also feeling so difficult to scored more goals against atletico madrid. I was not even expecting that atletico madrid lost with narrow score agianst intermilan
It was obviously a miracle for atletico madrid caused by this club is able performing even better than last season. The chance owned by atletico madrid to go to the next round is big enough.

The stupidest decision i have ever seen in my life. Bayern was in the most stable condition at that time with anglesmann kept win any game but bayern was surprisingly changed him with tuchel as a new appointment for the club. That's crazy and the first question appears in my mind is what's the hell was wrong with bayern?
The club seemed do a blunder by replacing naglessmann which was still having 100WR in UCL at that time with tuchel. It was fucking crazy if i can remember that. Surprise decision from bayern. I knew that this club learned from chelsea but bayern was not chelsea. This thing has been forgotten by the officials.

So true, bayern's chance to get trophy becomes even less and less. The club has lost its chance to get trophies right now. There will be some problems to appear. The first thing if bayern keeps to lose in the bundesliga which was decreasing the trust from the bettors to this club.
Bayern was lucky enough caused by it was not facing a strong club like manchester city or real madrid. I saw that intermilan is very strong club in this case.

Dortmund got a very good result for sure. I meant that if this guy was performing so crazily and i think that it's quite clear that if there are no superior clubs in this game. Dortmund played equally against PSV. The statistic indirectly said that if it's telling us about the truth. Dortmund was not able owning the game and this is also my main reason to call that if PSV can't
be considered as a weak team. Im thinking about all of possibilities that may be happening in this game. This is the same like the result between atletico madrid vs intermilan. As you can see that serie a club has a very strong defensive line. Atletico madrid can't even create a single shoot on target.
Simeone has been putting all of its players to play defensively as always agianst intermilan. The game is becoming even more difficult for intermilan caused by these clubs were playing with 5 midfielders. It was also the situation can't be predicted easily but thanks for amautovic that creates aggregate for atletico madrid.
I do like the way intermilan is playing use the same strategy. I see that atletico find it's very difficult to break it. putting 5 midfielders to keep the mid of team. It can also sometimes becoming a wall that protect the defenders and goal keeper too.
This is good result for dortmund coz the second leg will happen at home. Dortmund will be in advantage.

It's hard to guess it. I meant that rayo performed so structured and it was also fully synched against real madrid. I can't even expect big if rayo will be playing defensively against girona. Im hoping madrid will be winning the next game and girona gets draw against rayo. Im not fully believing that if girona will able to beat it.
I's hard to believe if girona will able to beat rayo once it played fully defensive against girona. Michel needs to put some efforts in building a good strategy to beat the low block club. The offensive team will always have horrible result when it got defensive team as its opponent.
Even the ball possession meant nothing too. Im hoping that rayo will able to perform better and it will also give advantage to the real madrid to leave girona behind. Real madrid was so struggling to beat the mediocre club since bellingham was injured.

The performance from real madrid has been dropping a lot compared to the last season. Things are going even more difficult once we will be reaching the end of season. There will be many surprises to come soon.
Im feeling madrid to take la liga this season. It's hard to think barcelona can comeback and take the first position without the help of miracle. Bellingham needs to recover as soon as possible. Im not convenient anough to pick madrid if bellingham was not there.

Best news that i have heard that today. I meant mazzarri was so garbage in coaching napoli. I knew that if napoli expected him to be as good as spalletti. I hope that napoli will not do another blunder again by recruiting mediocre coach. It's pathetic to see that napoli goes down so hard from champion to he a mediocre club.
Osimhen does nothing in the last games of napoli. Let's see who is the new coach to be hired by this club. Im not expecting napoli to get a world class coach but there is still a name that may possible to be recruited by napoli to be a new coach for the club. he must be mourinho.
This guy is still jobless and this is a golden chance owned by napoli to perform better.


True but consider it was performing so badly and i have zero expectation for this club. Napoli is now terrible to watch. It was only wasting my time to watch it keeps show another shit. Signing mezzarri was obviously another blunder. The club can use money to sign a better coach than him.
It was so wasteful for the club. I can't even know what's happening to the management. Literally, napoli had got many options at that time but club decided to sign mazzarri which is terrible decision from this club.
Napoli is now going back to the same place like when it was looking for a new coach after spalleti gone. From zero to hero then back to the zero again. that's napoli.

Acmilan was not that strong but it's only lucky enough. Im not seeing impressive performance from whole of acmilan players. Some may be peforming a big higher compared to the majority of players in the club but acmilan is not that strong as you said that above. Acmilan is always performing like that.
People were being so upset with the performance from ACmilan and me too. I don't even think this club will able to improve before the end of season. The main target owned by pioli to help milan to qualify for the UCL and no more than it. It's caused by acmilan is not the same like intermilan which is always showing stagnant trend on its performance.
I dunno what's wrong with acmilan but pioli does no impact to the club. The management needs to reconsider his chance to stay for another season in the club coz i demand him to leave from acmilan as soon as possible. It's caused by the worst performance showed by milan.
The attackers of milan being so wasteful and they have been wasting many opportunities. How can we keep to bet in this garbage team if it will suffer another lose? I think that if people will not be likely picking as milan as their favorite bets in the upcoming fixtures.
Even bologna as imitation from milan is showing quite consistent performance. Im concerning about how acmilan can go up again to stick with juventus and intermilan. The wnner will be intermilan but acmilan can still at very least try to qualify for UCL.

Chelsea is now starting to have good performance. Didn't you watch the match between chelsea vs city? What's your opinion about that? I was so surprised to see that chelsea has made a lot of improvements. Chelsea can have good performance as long as poch will not do stupid things like randomly doing wrong subs that can killing chelsea.
The match against city has been showing that if chelsea is well developed but the only problem is now consistency owned by the club. As you can see how chelsea was unable in showing better perform since potter was failed doing it last season. The club is just getting better than before.

The main problem owned by chelsea was not the player but it was the coach of chelsea that has been maknig very bad decision making like when it comes to the subs. This is why people were so mad and they were blaming poch for his garbage decision in the subs.
It's time for pochettino to do evaluation for himself. Many fans were so baffling when chelsea got draw against manchester city. The fact that if chelsea has very big chance to win the game as long as poch was defending the first line up.

Putting chalobach was the biggest mistake that shall not be made by chelsea. His performance was so garbage. Poch could always consistently pressuring it but he refuses to do that which was really strange. Chelsea was always on point against manchester city.
That's bad to hear that chelsea did some wrong things due to the mistake made by its club. I think that if chelsea needs to make sure its coach won't do stupid thing again.

His stats is quite impressive and it means he has almost 50% accuracy. Im only concerning about how intermilan is always willing to take the old guy to be a part of its team. This club seems has no interest to get the young talented players. Intermilan needs to get a good striker and i think that this is also the main reason for the club to get him.
Simeone inzaghi prefers to get a new striker with bunches of experiences instead of youngstar without any experience. Im concerning about the performance from the club. Intermilan seems performing better compared to the last season. The old doesn't matter a lot for the club.
This thing that i likes from intermilan. It was able using available resources to compete with other clubs which were always buying the young talented players. The old guys did't always give bad output. I meant that if the fact intermilan is always trying so hard in bringing the situation to be even better.
Buying young talent seems not the right solution. Intermilan prefers to get an old one but with so many experience. I do like this, majority of use thought that the old player may have faced downgrade on their fitness but the fact that if it's not really affecting the performance from the players.
Ronaldo has given the fact that if a consistent player will not be affected when he was getting older than before. I do like the way intermilan is treating its old players. It was valuing them the same like young talent. Other club can try to take this as a way to develop the team through getting the cheap players too.

The only possible choices will be osimhen and guirassy. I don't see other alternatives than those guys. Lautaro was very loyal to the intermilan, he had been approaced by several teams last season but it was not even working. leao is working on how to improve his performance in acmilan, his contract will end at 2028.
It's impossible to put him as a candidate to become a new striker for PSG. enrique has been changing mbappe's position from LF to the striker. The club needs a new number nine and im only seeing that if osimhen or guirassy as the best choices for the club.
Let's wait on which striker that's gonna be the main choice for the club. I hope that the club will able to find the best choice for this. Missing mbappe as striker will give a lot of impact to the performance from the club. I hope that PSG will find someone who can replace him asap.

It will be so weird if 1 billion vlauation team will not able to get the trophy this season. There's no strong club in this league and this is also the main reason PSG was able dominating it. Im concerning about how PSG has been trying so hard in getting the good result but since this club has no a competitor that can be equal to the PSG.
This is the main problem that must be solved by the club. PSG will be owning this season and the gap is too big for other club to stick it. We can only wait the final decision from mbappe. I hope he will not being disappointment decision for us.
Mostly of people have been expecting him to join in the real madrid, people were willing to see him to be a part from the best club in the world too. Mbappe needs to get better achievement through joining in the real madrid. I don't see a better club than real madrid.

Perez needs to approach him anytime. He must try to make sure mbappe will accept salary cut offered by madrid.

Rayo's defense was very solid and real madrid was unable in breaking rayo's defensive line. Ancellotti has changed the patter by put rodrygo in the game but it doesn't give good impact. Sometimes, im thinking that if bellingham was the only player that can take the risk. He was helping club to win the game many times.
I think that missing him and use valverde as attacking midfielder was not giving expected performance. Im concerning this caused by bellingham was also very active in attacking its opponent while valverde is quite passive. This is the difference between bellingham and other AM.
I prefer real madrid to play with him and gives different vibes. Madrid might be winning the game if there was bellingham there coz this guy was always able finding the way to score even though its opponent were building solid fortress.
Real madrid was so struggling in this game. it can be seen from so many attackers were being reflected by rayo vallecano. A mistake from the defender has cost madrid 2 points. Madrid needs to use the result against rayo as a data to build better team.
Ancellotti needs to find the best strategy to face the defensive team. It will become the biggest obstacles for any to clubs in la liga.

Yeah that's fucking lucky for hojlund coz the deflected ball gone to the back of the net. I could not even believe that how garnaho's shoot was going through hojlund then deflected to the goal net. I thought that luton would be scoring another goal caused by it was playing fully attacking against united in the second half.
Luton was always giving hard pressure to the united but surprisingly united can defend from any attacks that came from luton. It's very hard to believe it's happening right now. Unbelievable result from manchester united.

I will give credit to the meguire which was performing quite well. Even though he was not motm but that's enough to see united secure another three points.

That's very very unrealistic rumor. I don't know where the heck this garbage news was coming and barcelona never ever try to put him as the main target. Xabi alonso doesn't have interest to coaching barcelona now. He is only interesting to coach the club that he has ever played with. I think that we shall stop non sense rumor that spreads in the community.
Enough is enough. This has been linked with so many clubs and there were some potentials club that can recruit him like liverpool and bayern munich. These all his teams in the past. Real madrid might be the one but since it decides to keep ancellotti much longer and expect xabi to become a coach in the future once ancellotti will leave from the club.
xabi alonso being seen as a potential coach that can handle everything in the club. this is also the main reason of him able in building the momentum to pick on which club that xabi will continue his career as a coach. Xabi has not decided it.

It's also possible for him to stay for another season in the leverkusen before he will be leaving from there. I don't even think xabi was rushing to be a new coach for leverkusen. He is a very good tactical creator. No doubt if many teams were targeting him.
Let's wait for official announcement from xabi. As far as i know that if bayern is trying to approach him coz officials were not satisfied with tuchel

Reaslistically, napoli has zero chance to win scudetto. I think that it's not relevant anymore to talk about this club to get scudetto this season. it's caused by the performance from the club was still underperformed unlike intermilan which is slowly always moving up even higher than before. Im yet to finding that an equal competitor for intermilan.
Juventus is also getting flop when we are heading toward the end of season. Napoli and all of big clubs were placing below juventus have lost their chances to compete for the scudetto. It's reasonable for some members to congratulate intermilan for winning scudetto.
The gap seems impossible to keep up by other clubs.

Barcelona got it through very difficult match against celta vigo. Celta was playing equally against barcelona. The performance from club is still far from my expectations. Celta vigo was strong and barcelona was able winning the game through lewandowski during additional time. Barcelona was almost missing two points caused by it was still performing so badly this season.
Xavi seems not able to improve the performance from the club. Finishing has always become the main problem that may never be solved by barcelona. it feels like that i was seeing different lewandowski. The current lewandowski has lost his ability to scores a lot in any game.

His positioning is the worst now. The fact that if celta vigo has been also making a lot of goal attempts but there is most important thing that must be concerned. it's related to th statistic of barcelona. It was creating 11 goal attempts but only 2 goals. That's TWO GOALS which is very bad finishing.
How can barcelona has very high goal attempts but it's unable to score more than two goals. I think the attacking line is still the main problem owned by barcelona. Things are going to be even more difficult for barcelona. The club can only wait for th

It means that if tuchel has lost his feeling to stay at bayern munich. Im only guessing that if the pressure was also very high for him. Bayern officials may be willing to see him leave from the club as soon as possible. Bayern puts xabi alonso as the main target to be recruited as a new coach for the club.
I think that there are many mistakes being made by tuchel in the bayern munich. It proves that having kane in the squad can sometimes give nothing. I hope that bayern officials will sack him as soon as possible.

Tuchelw as not a worthy coach for the club. Bayern needs to send him out from the club as soon as possible but the club needs urgently tried to approach xabi alonso as soon as possible. it's caused by the team still needs a lot support.



I hope that team can perform really well till the end of season Levrkusen was on the right track to break bayern's record in the bundesliga. Im feeling that bayern needs to do something for this. I hope that bayern will able to get xabi alonso. The club needs to take a fast step before he will join in the liverpool.
Bayern needs to hire him as future coach. Xabi was still young as a coach and club needs to perform better.
