The current 1 point gap between the three teams certainly indicates that this season we see a fierce competition for the championship, Arsenal are currently at the top and even when they are at the top they still cannot be favourites for the title, as you said, of course last season was a painful experience for Arsenal and the fans,  From the start of the season they continued to run by leaving the rival team but it was Manchester City who were able to reach the finish and disappointed Arsenal fans.

This season may not be different from last season, although Arsenal are now quite superior in the Premier League and even so far they are still consistent in every game they play, but their mentality often falls when facing crucial matches and even the depth of the squad that is not qualified often makes them also slip when they have to face a busy schedule,  If we look at Arsenal's journey so far, we can actually see if Arsenal is able to compete with big teams, but indeed if we pay attention sometimes it is Arsenal's own mistakes that often make them out of the championship competition so far.
Arsenal this season have been very competitive, they've being able to tactically gain good stands in their EPL games and even in the country cups and continental contests too. They've got the squad they need to compete at higher competitions but one would think if the squad is efficient enough to stand the final games heat. Mikel Arteta has been able to groom the boys up to possessing heavy talents and confidence they put forward in all of their encounters this season. Even with the big teams in the EPL.

 I won't be suprise if Arsenal shock everyone this season, they've been very impressive lately by scoring many goals in their recent matches and aso they've been able to mount series of pressure and yes they've made a name and an image of fury for themselves. The current arsenal isn't the old arsenal that's looked down on always. For Manchester City, their boss Pep is one good coach that has good foresight. His style of play, choice of players and combination of squad makes Manchester City formidable in all their displays.

 City themselves has a lot to offer in football, they're one team that are tough to encounter, this is because of Pep. How best can a team be with 3 different squads that are too good to face any rival. Even the youngsters are doing far better than old big Dawgs in other teams. The best thing that's ever happened to Manchester City is Pep Guardiola. Sometimes one would wonder if he'd be able to do these exploits with a different team, the answer is yes. We've seen his works in the clubs he's been before City and we've seen that he's the right man for any club's managerial position.

The unexpected meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the quarter-finals adds an element of intrigue and excitement to the competition. The outcome of this matchup will reduce the pool of title contenders, because this matchup lies in the fact that one of the tournament favorites will be eliminated at an earlier stage than anticipated. this intensifies the competition and raises the stakes for both teams. Both teams have arguably the best and strongest squads that makes their clash in the quarter-finals a highly anticipated event.

The fact that the two teams are the UCL Champions in last two seasons makes it difficult to predict which team will emerge victorious and progress to the semifinals. Both teams have demonstrated their ability to overcome formidable opponents and deliver under pressure. Mentality will become a significant factor to determine how the game will go and the result will be. Their clash will captivate fans worldwide and showcase the highest level of competition on the continental stage.
The meeting in the UCL is always having its high value and expectations and these 2 teams are the major oppositions for the UCL title this season. A lot expected to see them in the final stages but it’s quite going to be more fun to see them in the group stage phase. However just like last season, everybody's expectations would be on Manchester City based on the scoreline of the previous season, but Madrid's squad have improved and it's going to be a tough battle on the pitch.

 The UCL holds many expectations and surprises and we’ll be seeing one big match in this fixture. Both of the teams are on a very good level and you can’t compare on to one as each of them have their strengths amd weaknesses. Man City were able to thrash Madrid last seaso due to the hunger but right now this season, you can’t see that much hunger in the team and you can say how much the young Madrid squad is hungry. Did I say young, well yes young because most of them haven’t won a UCL with his madrid side and they’ll want to write their names in the history book of the club.

 Anyone able to win between this 2 clubs will be seen as favorites for the UCL trophy because no other club seems to come close to them in terms of performance as they’re both playing on a very high level. This fixture is adding value and excitement to the UCL a d we can’t wait to see how the battle goes down. The competition between both teams are fierce and I think the best team thT wins is the one the coach doesn’t make too much of an experiment in terms if tactics of the day for the club.

If Bayern Munich fails to take the first place then the 2nd or 3rd position is not a problem because it's the same as they get a ticket to the Champions League, Bayern Munich will focus more on the match in the Champions League against Arsenal, here they still have hope rather than competing in the Bundesliga because it is certain that Bayern Leverkusen win the title this season. It is unfortunate when Harry Kane came as the best striker but they could not compete with Leverkusen.

Regarding the match in the Champions League against Arsenal, it cannot be predicted because both teams play with 2 legs, Arsenal could have defeated Bayern Munich in the first leg and Bayer Munich defeated Arsenal in the second leg well in this scenario, aggregate goals will determine and we don't know who scored more goals. Harry Kane is certainly reliable because he understands how to playing in the Premier League.
 
 The quarter final games have been drawn, now it's seeming like a reincarnating battle. The rivalry continues and it all seems unpredictable. The odds for team qualifications are a bit difficult to predict as  the game only gets tougher now and a lot has to be put into consideration without neglecting how different the performance may turn out on the field of play. PSG will battle out with Barcelona, Arsenal with Munich, Real Madrid with City and Atletico with Dortmund.

 The toughest game of these schedules would have been all except for Munich and Arsenal but as it stands, Arsenal still has a shot against this German side considering how poor Munich have been in passing weeks and then Arsenal giving their all to their games. Though they've not had a good UCL record, so in records, Munich stands a chance. So comparing both teams, it's just best to leave the decision to be decided on the pitch. Real Madrid and City are title contenders too in their respective leagues, UCL title is as well their natural aim and so one of them would have to surrender it off at this stage of the competition.

 Arteta's Arsenal are young, vibrant and victory oriented too. They won't want to give off their chances at the trophy just so easily to Porto. They're a side more likely to put up a fierce contest and make the game tough for their opponent Porto. Maybe or maybe not, Porto will be able to endure the strength Arsenal would put up. Arsenal are to some extent technically better than them still.Munich's performance has been lingering far behind their usual tempo which is odd for them. Their journey to the most appropriate spot this season is threatened and no one is certain that they'll be able to scale through. Their performance is far less than encouraging too.

Juventus lost their balance so they can no longer put pressure on Inter Milan like at the start of the season and even now they have to lose their position in second place because in the last 3 matches they couldn't win and that gave Ac Milan the opportunity to overtake them. and AC Milan managed to take advantage of that very well.
Actually, things like this are what a team is worried about, yes, they will experience a decline at the end of the season and that will make them unable to compete anymore. Juventus experienced this this season which made them have to give up the title this season. However, they also still have to focus, because even though they cannot become champions, at least they can be in the top 4 of the standings at the end of the season and win a ticket to go to the Champions League next season. Their current position is not completely safe, so they have to keep giving their best, especially to win again after they failed to get it in the last few matches. I'm sure they can secure their position in the top 4 of the standings.
For the Italian teams at the moment, they'll be focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they ought to be doing excellently well in it. Especially Juventus, they've even had a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect player's physical capabilities too. Although, inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form.

 At the same level time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests. They've been able to play resiliently and the results so far is fit to help them earn this ticket but the difficulty they may face this season is the trophy of the Serie A, the top contenders won't let it slip away from them, they're in their own way and end putting streanous efforts to ensure that they get the maximum number of points to keep the gaps and help them win the trophy. There's really no time to make a difference but they themselves know it's not going to be as easy as it ought to be considering the intensity in games this season.

 Inter are ahead with a reasonable point gap and undeniably, they're are proving to keep up with consistencies which if met, Juventus no matter what won't be able to catch up to them. Inter are no longer faced with the European contest and so for inter Milan and Juventus, they've still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games. Against Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan did well to stay in the game but it wasn't just well enough to help them advance in the contest. They've gained enough grounds this season and it's profitable to them considering how well and useful their position has been and will be for them in subsequent games and seasons too.

Ronaldo has spent most of his time in the European league and that is enough for Cristiano Ronaldo because he has won many trophies there, now is the time for other players to be given the opportunity to become superstars like him, after all, if Ronaldo returns to the European league, the quality of his game will definitely be different, not as before. Despite his good performance in the Saudi League, these two leagues have different levels of difficulty. Players of Ronaldo's age are rarely used as regular players because their performance is no longer as strong as when they were young. There are times when older players are replaced by young players who have stronger stamina, so it's not a good idea if Ronaldo returns to the European league at the age of almost 40. .

Being in the Saudi League is the right choice for him while waiting for his time to retire, and he also gets a big salary there and that can be an allowance for his retirement later, besides he also feels comfortable being at Al Nassr even though he hasn't gotten any titles there but at least he There is still a chance of getting it next season if the manager is able to improve the club's performance and can improve its performance next season so that it can win the title and compete with Al Hilal.
The Saudis visionized the benefit of Ronaldo in their league and ever since his arrival he's helped the league to be a focus for fans too. He was the first international signing for the league and other players have been seeing reasons why SPL should be considered in their next transfers. The league itself are eager to expand more as they have eyes on quality stars all around Europe. Ronaldo made wave at his first game in the league and he's been doing exceedingly well. Al-Nassr recorded a huge increase in the normal of views they have on their social media handles at the instant his signing was complete.

  No doubt, there's what they call "the Ronaldo effect". Ronaldo a world star helped SPL grow in recognition and SPL are playing their part in ensuring that they keep that track of recognition and focus.Ronaldo, the G.O.A.T and his unwavering display of goal scoring abilities, skillfulness, agility and strength which generally goes contrary to every activity his age can be able to carry out. Age is not a hindrance to him, he works hard to keep himself active and truthfully, there's every possibility that he'd take part in the next world cup cos he's just got all it'd take. He'd definitely look far younger than his age by then as well.

 So in essence, age won't deprive him as long as he wants it to happen, he can work towards it, it's just for him to keep his body shape, he's just got all it takes so the task won't be so bulky on him. The world cup is just in 3years, that's not so much time to say that he'd loose his shape and form of professional football. He makes football seem like his hobby cos he strives to keep on going with it. Yes a day for his retirement would come but it's very highly possible that 2026 world cup would go on with Ronaldo and his Portuguese internationals with him.

The difference between the two clubs are so significant, it's caused by liverpool is still able competing at the top positions in EPL against smoe big clubs. I can't imagine how Atalanta will beat Liverpool causes by it sounds impossible to happen with the current condition from both of clubs. Either of them will dominate the game and that's liverpool. The first game will be played at home for Liverpool, and it is obvious that if the club can improve its performance, it will be time for Liverpool to destroy Atalanta's mentality by creating large aggregates since it will also burdening atalanta in the second leg which potentially disrupting the performance from its opponent.
It's obvious that I want to bet on Liverpool. Liverpool has some advantages over Atalanta

1. Home game
2. Full team game
3. Positive vibes

All of these factors will have contributed to Liverpool's ability to play freely without being burdened, which has impacted the players' performance in the upcoming game. It's time for Liverpool to play and destroy Atlanta soon. We are still a long way from the continuation of the Europa League, but I am confident that the time will come soon.
1x2 Liverpool odds are pretty small, I expect it to do better, but it's still less than what I expected, which was around 1.5.

Liverpool's odds are 1.37, but given Liverpool's numerous advantages over its opponents, I believe those odds are reasonable.

As it stands, the team would have to find a major focus and personally, I'd suggest that they put in more strength to the UEL as they've been able to gain grounds in the EPL even if not solid as it ought to considering the intensity of the league. The EPL is competitive too and so focus should be put in it but the UEL trophy to me would actually have more worth than the EPL. The UEL journey may not necessarily be stressful for them as Liverpool tends to be better than the teams in the tournament

 Their tough counterpart will definitely be Leverkusen because they've had more or less same domestic league results as Liverpool and the team is everly eager to strive to win games and they're aiming for the trophy. It's good that the both of them are in the same condition and then also have the same goal and target in the domestic and continental tournaments too.
Atalanta have been an improving side overtime. They've had some rough edges but their performance in the league is still seen. Even though they may not be top trophy contenders, they're trying to stay in the domestic league instead of relegating.

 They'll be playing against Liverpool in the next phase of the UEL and goodnews is they've been able to gather enough confidence and momentum for the game which still puts them in and advantageous spot of finishing with a tangible result regardless. Of both teams, there's struggle atmosphere present and even though Liverpool won't take mercy with them, the both teams will strive to see that they either win or get a draw at the end of the first leg. One would have to wait patiently for the game's final result. There'll definitely be an advancement of either teams after the second leg of the contest.

Dortmund really took advantage of the last 10 minutes to win over Frankfurt, Mats Hummels added a goal in the 81st minute so that the score was 2:1. Not only that, Emre Can also increased the total goals to 3:1 in the 90+3 minute with a penalty so that the victory Dortmund is increasingly convincing and Frankfurt failed to get 1 point in this match, while Dortmund managed to maintain full points so that Dortmund's position returned to the top 4, but Dortmund should not be happy just yet because Leipzig is still aiming for the top 4 position because the difference in points between the two clubs is not too far and There is only a difference of 1 point, therefore Dortmund must not waste time in the remainder of this season and continue to get full points to widen the gap with Leipzig and secure a place in the Champions League next season.

But Dortmund's challenge in the next match is quite tough, he will face Bayern Munich and he will come as a guest, of course this is not easy for Dortmund and we also all know that Bayern Munich's performance is very strong at home. But a surprise can still happen even though the chances are small for Dortmund. To be honest this is also quite confusing on the other hand I support Dortmund to be in the top 4 but if they face Bayern Munich and lose then this is an opportunity for Leipzig in the next match against Mainz if Leipzig wins then Dortmund's position will be shifted to 5th place Sad
Dortmund hosted Frankfurt in the final match of the Gameweek in the Bundesliga and they got a late victory ending the match with a scoreline of 3-1. Dortmund had a shaky start and they were punished by their ex player. Mario Gotze got the first goal and gave Frankfurt the lead quite early. He put the ball in the net from a rebound the keeper saved. He had a quiet celebration as a sign of respect to his former club. Well i love the fact that Dortmund didn't give up easily but still fought back to secure the 3 points.

 Borrusia Dortmund took charge of the game and continued setting the tone despite being a goal down. Adeyemi got the equalizer and things became balanced in the match.The draw went on till the final 10 minutes were Dortmund was able to get 2 additional goals from open play and penalty spot to hand them a 3-1 win over Frankfurt. Hummels had a goal to his name and Emre Can was able to put in the ball form the penalty spot. This is a good win for Borussia Dortmund cause it would help boost the UCL chance next summer.

 Borussia Dortmund is just a point away from Liepzig who sits in 5th and are aiming at playing in the UCL next season. This means Dortmund is more pressured to have maximum points in the remaining matches. Next is Bayern Munich andI think with the right mindset Dortmund can be able to do harm to this Bayern Munich on the other end, Munich will be going to steal all 3 points. All these taken into consideration, I don’t think the match will go past a draw as both teams have the strength and capacity to take on each other.

I don't patronize an unstable team in my bets because I know they are likely to spoil my ticket again and sometimes I even go as far as not including that team anymore in my bets until they become stable and win matches comfortably.
It really surprises me on how Juventus have been dropping points in their recent matches to the extent that AC Milan that wasn't even in a good form in the beginning have now claimed the second position that Juventus was occupying and just like you said, Juventus can do better when they are faced with bigger teams unlike the lesser clubs.

 Qualifying for the champions league is not an achievement to me because what is the need for qualifying when they can't even make any good impact in the Champions league so it will even be better if they don't qualify for Champions league next season just like they didn't qualify this season.
They've been able to play resiliently and the results so far is fit to help them earn this ticket but the difficulty they may face this season is the trophy of the Serie A, the top contenders won't let it slip away from them, they're in their own way and end putting streanous efforts to ensure that they get the maximum number of points to keep the gaps and help them win the trophy. There's really no time to make a difference but they themselves know it's not going to be as easy as it ought to be considering the intensity in games this season.

 Inter Milan are ahead with a reasonable point gap and undeniably, they're are proving to keep up with consistencies which if met, Juventus no matter what won't be able to catch up to them, adding that there's been a couple of inconsistent positive results from their games. For Juventus, they've still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games. They've got a recurring history in the Italian Serie A league and they ought to maintain their capacity regardless of the position they're in now.

 It'll not be nice that if for an understable reason, they were ruled out of this season's European contests, then next season, they'd then be ruled out cos of their inability to finish the season on a good spot. Yes they've had sloppy encounters and it's costed them a shaky stand on the league table. With the games left though, there's a high probability of them finishing at a rightful position and it'll be something that's cause them to work even harder. The teams in the league are not to be underestimated too. Everyone at this point in time are fighting to have a win that'll give them a boost up on their rankings on the table.

The bad thing is that Chelsea does not have the vision to use an old guy like him to participate in its club. This Blues invested too much in many failed youngster, and it's very pathetic to say that Chelsea was unable to explore the possibility of getting cheap players from other clubs. Ronaldo has ever offered himself to the Chelsea, but it got no response from the Blues. Ronaldo now only has a chance to extend his career in al Nassr, considering the fact that he is very happy to stay much longer in al Nassr with all of the special privilege he has. The better for him to stay in the saudi pro league till his career end.
Some of his friends have announced their retirements while Ronaldo is still playing intensively with al Nassr at various times. Ronaldo has stated to extend his contract in al nassr which means he will not leave this league either.

That's enough to explain the main reason Ronaldo is not even interested in leaving the Saudi Pro League. This also explains whether any rumors linking him to the other clubs are probably fake news.
Ronaldo has offered to extend his contract with Roma, but the club still has not responded to this. I hope Ronaldo will be able to get it as soon as possible because he needs to make everything clear. Even though his contract is still quite long, but ronaldo demands a new contract to ensure his career still continues.
There's no best place for him to retire other than saudi pro league.
Ronaldo, the G.O.A.T and his unwavering display of goal scoring abilities, skillfulness, agility and strength which generally goes contrary to every activity his age can be able to carry out. Age is not a hindrance to him, he works hard to keep himself active and truthfully, there's every possibility that he'd take part in the next world cup cos he's just got all it'd take.

Arsenal's performance this season is quite consistent in the Premier League, currently he is in first place, from last season Arsenal's performance was also quite good and he almost won the Premier League title but unfortunately he failed to get it, but now he is competing with Liverpool and Manchester City and he is still strong enough to compete for the Premier League title. As well as in the Champions League he wants to go further and beat Bayern Munich and he has also learned a lot from mistakes because in the last few seasons Arsenal have not played in the Champions League therefore he does not want to waste that opportunity again.

However, beating Bayern Munich is not an easy thing for Arsenal because Bayern Munich has Harry Kane who is very active in attacking and he still has strong stamina in this big competition as long as Bayern Munich doesn't have any problems and Harry Kane is still in the Bayern Munich team. Arsenal dont just give up and Arsenal also have to prepare a strategy from now on to face Bayern Munich later and not be humiliated like the last meeting in the Champions League.

Apart from the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich match, actually the Barcelona vs PSG match is also quite difficult to predict because PSG played strongly in the round of 16 against Real Sociedad but basically this club has no experience in the Champions League so it's only natural that PSG beats them. but meeting Barcelona is not something that is easy to beat and vice versa, Barcelona's performance has improved but PSG's performance is also quite consistent even though PSG always fails in the Champions League but PSG is always in the Champions League every season so we don't know whether PSG's performance this season is good. whether it has improved or not, let's see if PSG can reach the final in their final season with Mbappe.
Arsenal have been drawn to face Bayern in the Quarterfinals of Europe’s elite competition the UCL and this is one match that will be holding maximum views especially as it’s the biggest match after the Real Madrid vs Man City match. Many will want to see how this Arsenal side have really improved and if They’ll be able to go past this inconsistent Bayern team. The Gunners will take on the Bundesliga champions in an intriguing tie with England striker Kane, having joined the club last summer, facing his former club's rivals.

 Arsenal narrowly beat Porto on penalties after a 1-1 aggregate draw to reach the last eight while Bayern overturned a 1-0 first defeat to Lazio to advance. The German side will head to the Emirates for the first leg armed with former Spurs hitman Kane, who has netted 36 times in all competitions this season following his £100 million move from north London. Arsenal are playing Champions League football for the first time since 2017, when ominously, they suffered a humiliating 10-2 aggregate defeat against Bayern. Equally worrying is Kane's record against the Gunners, with the 30-year-old netting 14 times in 16 appearances against them during his time at Spurs.

 Arsenal have real improved on how they play and you can see that in the league also as theyre still on top of the table with bery high goal difference. This match will be quite difficult but I still believe they can be able to do some magic at the Emirate to give them a boost before they head to Germany for the return leg. Even if they’ll be eliminated, I don’t think the humiliation will be as much as the past. The Barcelona VS PSG is another key match and I’m strongly believing PSG will be able to have the edge against this Barca side this time. Psg are seeking to achieving something this season and I wouldn’t be surprised seeing them in the finals again.

What is strange about the result of the match? If it's about sterling bottled the chances many times then i strongly agree with this. It would be so weird if chelsea could not able to win against 10 players. many people were saying it shoudl not be awarded with red card but they forgot that the result if jackson was the last player.
Leicester City deserved it, and Chelsea went to the semi-final. Chelsea is going to face Manchester City again, which will become a very interesting match. Manchester United must be able to beat Coventry, which is even stronger compared to the Wolves. It surprised me when the Wolves lost against a champion ship division club like Coverntry, which is very strange to watch.
Sterling is the biggest problem here and poch shall not put him in the main squad for the future match against manchester city. Sterling wasted 4 golden opportunities to score, and this guy never learned from his mistake. Sterling keep bottling many chances in any games.
He's the selfish guy in the club. I hope that Mudryk is included in the starting line-up rather than him, but Pochettino is still very often in an exchanging player's position. It can be seen from how Mudryk and Sterling played together. pochettino shall use his sense.

Anyway, rashford is a hero for manchester united and no doubt that ten hag was not willing to sell him. This guy is good, but his inconsistency still remains the biggest problem for Rashford.
The FA Cup Quater finals were rounded up yesterday and we saw some thrilling matches in the 2 matches played yesterday. We had a match between Chelsea and Leicester then we also had an old long rivalry between Man United and Liverpool. These 2 matches had it surprises and fun times and we’ll dissect that in this write up. Chelsea substitutes came to the rescue for them as they both managed to get a goal each and made chelsea win with a scoreline of 4-2. The events in this match was what was befitting of a cup match as we saw equalizing moments, saw penalty been missed, an own goal and some crazy clear chance misses. Chelsea were very dominant in this match as they had the lead with over 2 goals at Half Time with Cucurella and Palmer getting the goals in thei first half to put the London boys all up. Then at the start of 2nd half we saw a horrible mistake from Disasi that brought Leicester back into the game.

 Few minutes after we saw a sensational goal because it involved dribbling and also sidestepping the Chelsea defender and then curling the ball. That goal was worth the applauds as it brought Leicester on level terms. We saw a red card on a last man foul on Jackson and them got the extra 2 goals from the subs. Looking at Sterling and his performance yesterday, it’s real awful that as the most experienced and highest paid player, he wasn’t able to deliver at all in any way and it’s a big shame on him. Man should just let the young boys who’re ready to play enjoy the game of football and give their all.

 Massive win for Chelsea and hope they can do better when they face City in the Semi Finals. Manchester United were able to deal with Liverpool and end their quadruple dream at the dead end of 120 minutes. This match yes was dominated by Liverpool but Man United were able to show class and why they’re still a big team in the league. Like Rashford… Like Sterling but the difference is that Rashford can turn out to be a saviour when you don’t expect. Now I hope to see them in the final as I have high hopes they’ll be able to defeat Coventry who gave Wolves a crazy surprise with 5 minutes of stoppage time to go.

Actually, I favor Aston Villa in this match and Aston Villa is more dominant in possession of the ball, namely 70%, but because I know this is an away match for Aston Villa, it is only natural that they can only achieve a draw because their performance is not much different in the Premier League. , this is a fair result for both clubs because at least they both got 1 point to add to their points collection. Now Aston Villa has 56 points and West Ham has 44 points just below Manchester United so Manchester must prepare for the next match so as not to lose points because if they lose points West Ham has the opportunity to shift their position, I was happy to see Manchester United's match last night when they were able to beat Liverpool even though it was not a premier league competition.

Likewise for Aston Villa, even though a draw is not a good result, at least he didn't lose because that would give Tottenham the opportunity to get closer. But Tottenham still hasn't faced a match in week 29 and the match that Tottenham will face in the next match is quite easy for him because he will face a club in the relegation zone Luton Town, Tottenham should be able to win the match even though the last match was quite disappointing and if they are able to win then they will have the same points as Aston Villa so the competition between the two is as fierce as the top 3 clubs who compete for the title.
The EPL still went on during the weekend and we saw a battle between the mid clubs who wants to either go to the UEL or have a place in the UCL all getting into a heated fixture. The match between West Ham and Villa was to secire either UEL or UCL football respectively for both teams. We all expected the match to be real tough and I had hopes on West Ham stealing all 3 points in this match but, yhh the strength of Villa were on another level as they were able to level the scoreline after relentless fights and controversial VAR calls too. The both teams were so close on the way they took on each other and you can see how they were able to contain each other in the match yesterday.

 Both teams made some nice changes to the teams that got them victories during midweek in European competitions and the changes were worth it as they were able to play at optimal level too. Watkins was able to get into the team for Villa after recovering from the cut that took him out of the Conference League Cup on Thursday. Ollie Watkins had the first chance in the game though his effort was put to a stop by the West Ham goalie, Areola who was in goal today for the club. Not long after, antonio got the lead close to half an hour mark with a great diving header.

 West Ham looked pretty dangerous and created much more and better opportunities to hit on this Villa side but were lacking conversion of those high chances. Villa got into the game and tried to put some pressure too from their end and yes it paid out. Zaniolo the 2nd half sub was able to get the equalizer that keeps them safe and not under much pressure in their place in the league. West Ham after the equalizer had some great opportunities with VAR canceling out on a superb goal that would have hammered Villa. The share of points between these teams is pretty good as it now keeps the team on their toe to want to achieve more in subsequent matches.

This is a very tight competition shown by the three teams at the top of the standings. Arsenal leads by only having a goal productivity advantage over Liverpool, while they are the same on points. Manchester City is in third place and they only have a difference of 1 point from both Liverpool and Arsenal. With a point distance like that, the position can really change in just one match.
Of course, all teams will not want to beat to give the title to their competitors just like that, they will try as hard as they can to ensure that they will be the champions this season. Nobody wants to fail this season, but the problem is when the competition becomes very tight and it is not easy for all teams.
There is still a meeting between Manchester City vs Arsenal, this will also be one of the matches that will be very decisive for them, winning will put them above the team that lost in this match. I think they will go all out in this match, because victory is something they must get.
The fierceness of the EPL isn’t spoken about enough and even when it’s spoken about lightly, you can’t deny the fact that the statement holds some solid truth. This competition season in and out proves to be real fierce and you can see it in the way the league table is. This season holds no less about the statement as we’ve got the 3 top teams been differentiated with just 1 point and Arsenal and Liverpool separated by few goal difference. The goal difference is a result of how productive this Arsenal side have been over the past few weeks.

 We’ve got about 10 games to go and mow predicting who wins the league might be kind of difficult right now especially as the 3 teams are all on very great level. To determine the winner of the league one will have to check every 10 fixtures between these teams and know which team will be able to get maximum points to win the league. Amongs the 3 of them, City have better chance of winning the league as to an extent they’ve got easier fixtures and at some points, they’ll be having outstanding matches which could be a boost for them.

 Liverpool on one end also have very easy fixtures and will be waiting to get a draw result from the match between City and Arsenal as that result will be great for Arsenal to be able to top the league and reduce the pressure. Arsenal have big matches with the likes of City, Man United, Chelsea, Tottenham and that’s going to be a real long run for Arsemal and we hope they’ll be able to get something off this matches. First they must give it all at the Etihad when they face city and try to get maximum points. This will real be a tough one but I feel Liverpool have more advantage to get this league and I’ll love to see Liverpool win it rather than city.

Rashford was a versatile players, he can play as winger or attackers. The decision to recruit him as a new player is the best one, considering the fact that rashford is still showing more improvements at Manchester United. If this news is true then it's all confirming the rumors about mbappe's decision to depart with PSG.
I have been waiting for this news to come in, and I hope Rashford will be able to go to the PSG. My dream to see perez in slowly building another los galacticos will be coming true again soon. Rashford has release clause and it seems like manchester united needs to buy his release clause to ensure rashford will able to join in the club soon.
Rashford's release clause is also very expensive, but since the offer will be coming from PSG, I have doubts that Rashford can wear PSG's shirt in the future. Some news reports have also suggested that Rashford is still willing to stay even longer at Manchester United, which totally makes sense.
Let's see how well the development of his transfer is going. Im hoping that rashford to join in the PSG soon. I hope that i can see his face on PSG starts from next season. rashford will able to play in UCL regularly if he joins PSG.

Rashford in United hasn't been helpful or useful in games this season. He started off his journey with the team on a very good note and he was definitely a classic striker with his versatility skill put to great use, but this season, he's depreciated greatly and his low performance is one that is agreeable by every of us. He's put the team many times in costly situations where he'd ought to execute his striking task but then fail woefully due to petty mistakes or errors. His less interested efforts put to games is appaling and is something that's not expected of him. His worth and ratings has this season been reduced drastically.

 Maybe he got proud along the line but he should know he's a young player and he's still got years of football career to live through. Maybe his switch to PSG, maybe rumoured would be helpful to him to awaken his spirits and abilities to play dedicatedly again. He's a great player no doubt, his skills are still in him. Regardless of Hag's approaches to the squad performance, sometimes as a last man up front, he's got to be creative to go beyond what the coach says and do the right thing always to put his team up ahead. This is one thing he's refrained from doing and he needs to be awakened. He can't let his abilities fade off at this early stage of his journey.

 One would hope that he be of good benefit to the French side but I strongly believe the managers there know how best to bring out the best in their players. Seeing Rashford with the French side will be a real beauty to behold. I personally want to see him bounce back to what he's always been known for. I'm sick and tired of the Rashford that's always being complained about. He needs to restore back the fans confidence in him and he has to do it the right way. He's paid for the job, if he personally decides to remain at United, then he should live up to expectation instead of putting the fans mind at a state of unrest because of his continuously failed chances. He's way better than what he's putting up now. We all want to see him do better again. He's got what it takes.
655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 17, 2024, 05:50:56 PM

there are a few games today but I'll try to say what I think.
Juventus vs Genoa, this match should be an easy match for Allegri. looking at Genoa recent bad results is an early sign that Genoa is experiencing a slight decline in performance, while Juventus, although they have looked inconsistent at times, but in my opinion, Allegri will not let this bad trend continue to worsen Juventus current position which is threatened by Bologna and in on the one hand, if Juventus fails again in this match, it seems there is no hope because Milan will compete against Verona, which Milan will very easily beat.
so if today Juventus fails again to beat a team that is not too strong, Milan will definitely get stronger to be in the runner up position, but I still hope that in today's match there will be big changes for Juventus and I feel confident seeing that Juventus always excels when playing against Genoa in his own cage.

and there are still Verona vs Milan matches and also Roma vs Sassuolo where I am sure that favorite teams like Milan and Roma will get 3 additional points in today's match.
but I doubt the Inter Milan vs Napoli match even though Inter is much better at the moment but Napoli will not be easy to beat because they will definitely provide quite strong resistance to Inter even though Inter will be the host but I will not bet on one of these teams winning and forced to place a bet on a double chance in the first half.
The season hasn't been quite adventurous for Juventus as they've been indicted to not taking part in the Europa League. They've been focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they've been doing excellently well in it. They've even got a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too. Although, inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form. At thesame time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests.

 They've been able to play resiliently and the results so far is fit to help them earn this ticket but the difficulty they may face this season is the trophy of the Serie A, the top contenders won't let it slip away from them, they're in their own way and end putting streanous efforts to ensure that they get the maximum number of points to keep the gaps and help them win the trophy. There's really no time to make a difference but they themselves know it's not going to be as easy as it ought to be considering the intensity in games this season.

 Inter Milan are ahead with a reasonable point gap and undeniably, they're are proving to keep up with consistencies which if met, Juventus no matter what won't be able to catch up to them. Inter are faced with the European contest and for Juventus, they've still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games. The Italian teams are doing their best to keep up with the game intensities in the final weeks of the season and it's something beautiful to watch every weekend.

Freiburg vs Leverkusen

Both teams has opposite results from their recent matches at Europa league because Freiburg was humiliated by West Ham with big scores 5-0 and Leverkusen dramatially win from mediocre team Qarabag but from this match i can see Leverkusen has champion mentality because they can fliped the situations after conceded 2 goals and about this match the winning result from Bayern Munich is pushing Leverkusen to gets maximum result from this match but not necessary to more analysis because obviously Leverkusen is much better tham Freiburg so that's why i believe Leverkusen can able to beat Freiburg today and the odds for Leverkusen win is @1.51

Dortmund vs Frankfurt

Similar to Leverkusen Dortmund too in the good shape because they can eliminate PSV at Champion league and this result too makes Dortmund has gets 3 winning streak in all competitions and their player who loaned from Manchester United Jadon Sancho has appears became an their key player who can give significant progress from almost each matches and we can see it based on Dortmund performance since Jadon Sancho appears to this team in January so far Dortmund has through an 11 matches in all competitions and Dortmund only get 1 loses so obviously Jadon Sancho is effective transfer from Dortmund because he can give positive impact for this team and today against Frankfurt if Sancho played then i am sure he will give important contribution for Dortmund and regarding the outcomes of this match i still confident Dortmund can able to overcomes Frankfurt and the odds for Dortmund win is @1.60
Dortmund in previous seasons have been very much active and eager to chase the trophy. Although at the moment the chase isn't off, they've still got every chance in store to prove themselves. They've had scaly strides from the start of the season up till now, they've managed to scale through in the UCL, no one knows their fate in the next round but there's certainty that there's difference in their performances now and then too. They're a good team that just needs to find back their balance, there confidence level has dropped big and corrections needs to be made soon enough too. There's no time out to let go off winning chances, it'll keep drawing them back. Overtime, they've had good players in the team going off to other clubs and making wave which only notes that they're a team that builds and carves up players to be exceedingly top notch in performance.

 And it's acceptable that there are still players in the team that currently are capable of keeping the team ahead.
Frankfurt hosted Hoffenheim last weekend and the game ended with a convincing victory even though with very little margin of goals in favor of Frankfurt. The host has this season been a good competitor to teams and they've sometimes strived to surprise big teams too. They're a good side and they've been able to stay in shape in the league too even though not much of a buoyant stand on the league table. One would expect that there'll be a heavy difference in their performances and this would cause them to finish very much well in a couple of weeks to come but as it stands, their performance rate so far has been fair and it's best they stay at that pace.

 Few weeks left and not much impact can be made other than maintaining the tempo and not going below it. Their league encounter with Dortmund is played and the odds were shaky as both teams have in the passing weeks being a bit consistent at thesame level of performances. But the game was played fairly with both sides being able to net in goals and a number of goals flowing in. The final league result for the season is very much crucial to teams and they need not to cause any form of jeopardy in the process to it.

But for now KDB is still worth it. In terms of contracts, he will reach the time to run out but it is still very discussable for new contract issues, especially with the current conditions KDB is still one of the important factors in the midfield of Manchester City because he is indeed one of the good movers and of course he is still a good leader in the field. In terms of age he is also still not too old because the age he currently has for the size of the player is actually a fairly mature age in terms of mind and in terms of performance so that he is still very worthy of being retained because after all we must be aware that in fact there are still many ages older than KDB who are still playing in the EPL or big clubs so that it does not become a threat that really has to be thought of if he is retained.

But it would be different from a business point of view because apart from performances on the field for a club then surely business is another factor to make someone can leave easily and Manchester City is also a businessman so everything is still very possible in this case. It would be great to find a suitable successor first before actually letting KDB go just like Madrid who are seriously looking for a replacement player first for Modric and Kross in midfield. Even then, Manchester City must do it if they really think they want to sell KDB later.
City's talismanic and charismatic midfielder is into the last 18 months of his contract and will turn 33 in June, which could give the club an uncomfortable situation when it comes to discussing his future, particularly if he asks for a new contract to ward off the interest from Saudi Arabia and potentially Major League Soccer. To many, particularly the huge supporters who rose to their feet to welcome De Bruyne back from injury in January, City giving one of their best ever players a bumper new deal is a no-brainer. However, the club have an unwritten policy when it comes to contract negotiations to players into their thirties, which in theory prevents them from offering long-term deals. The policy is intended to prevent them paying high salaries for years-on-end to individuals who are no longer worth it.

 They are not the only club to do it. Bayern Munich only offer 12-month contracts to existing players who are past the age of 30. And notwithstanding their current season, it has served the Bavarians pretty well over the years. The main exception is Kyle Walker, who signed a three-year contract last summer at the age of 33. City were prepared to be flexible in that instance as Walker had a serious offer on the table from Bayern Munich and were wary of losing another senior player at the same time as parting with Gundogan. So far it is working out well, with Walker captaining the team and playing with even more consistency than last season, despite the turmoil in his private life.

 Nonetheless, City would be better off keeping Walker as the exception rather than making him the catalyst to end the policy. Even if it means parting ways with De Bruyne in 2025 or even sooner. KDB is one of the club’s greatest player if not the greatest especially as the numbers speaks for him. As a midfielder the heights he’s attained is worthy of every commendation and appreciation. The club can decide to appreciate him in better ways and cash out from him especially as finance is needed to keep the club moving. KDB is still worth it and I think staying one more season after his contract expires wouldn’t be a big deal as his presence will help in building the younger generation.

Yes, it's true that when Arsenal played against Porto, they seemed to be experiencing difficulties and Arsenal's success in getting rid of the Portuguese representative was thanks to a penalty shootout. So actually Arsenal didn't appear that strong in the Champions League because perhaps they lacked experience in this competition, especially against the Bundesliga giants who participate in the Champions League every season. of course Arsenal lost to the experience of Bayern Munich. And if you look at Bayern Munich's footsteps, they slaughtered Arsenal with a score of 10:2 in the 2016/17 Champions League season, so this is a worry for all Gunners fans when they meet Bayern Munich later.

But the Arsenal that used to be is not the Arsenal that is now. Arsenal has a big strength in the Premier League so this can be used as a benchmark so that Arsenal gives a surprise in getting rid of Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals because Bayern Munich's performance is also no longer the same as it used to be and this season too. Bayern Munich is experiencing a decline so Arsenal still has a chance to beat Bayern Munich and create a big aggregate when they are at the Emirates stadium.
The UCL has resumed and now we’ve gotten to the Quater finals o f this elite competition.. this stage of this competition isn’t always an easy one ass it’s in this stage you meet some very tough Opponq with very wide range of experience.The draw has happened and the fixtures have been fixed up till the finals which will hold at the Wembley stadium. This stage of the competition holds many surprises and we can analyze on each match one after the other and go on and on without getttng tired. For this write up, we’re shifting our focus down to the match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich.

Arsenal are now in the Quater finals of the UCL and we can’t help but praise the program of this team and how they’ve performed over the past 2 seasons and this season. They’ve not been present in the UCL in a long while and after a long while attaining this height is worthy of commendation. In the match against Bayern, the stakes and hopes will be high especially for the Arsenal fans because they’ll be hoping with their improved squad, they’ll be able to take revenge on Bayern who defeated them with that massive scoreline and that was their last time out in over 5-6 years. A lot of factors will have to be taken into consideration if Arsenal is to stand any chance in this match.

 First, we must look at how much of experience both teams have and it’s very clear Bayern have vast experience of this competition as compared to Arsenal who are a team of young players with very little or zero experience of European competition. This match  will be one big one and many of the fans will be looking forward to it. Arsenal are very improved as compared to how they were last time Bayern trashed them, right now they’re a better team and can give headache to this Bayern side who have been inconsistent in the past few matches this season. Well right now, this match isn’t real predictable as I think we should give a pause and probably wait till about 2 weeks to go and then we see how both teams are placed for this fixture.

I agree with you that the outcome of this match was completely unexpected. None of us expected such a result. At the same time I want to say that Inter Milan were very unlucky in this match. Otherwise, the team would not have lost against Atletico Madrid.

Inter Milan players missed all 3 penalties against Atletico Madrid. The important thing is that 3 goals were missed by the best three players in Inter Milan's squad. Hard to accept that Martinez, Sanchez and Klaassen will miss penalties. All three are excellent players, but all three have missed. It is nothing but bad luck.

Inter Milan should now focus on Serie A. However, the Serie A title will easily be won by the Inter Milan team. The Inter Milan team is ahead of AC Milan in the second place of the table by a big gap of 16 points.
The final games in the UCL round of 16 was played and the result of Inter Milan against Atletico Madrid is one that was just in between expected and unexpected. The Italian side have been able to this season stay in shape in both the Serie A and the UCL until their disqualification days ago. They've played to win and they've secured good number of points gaps between them and Juventus. Yes it's not so surprising as they've in all time being a competitive Italian side.

 Atletico's encounter wasn't really much of a petty game for them as the both teams were strong though Inter being stronger in terms of league standings but experience wise, Atletico knew how to get what they got. Well it's a motivation ahead of next season for Inter Milan.The quarter final games have been drawn, now it's seeming like a reincarnating battle. The rivalry continues and it all seems unpredictable.

 The odds for team qualifications are a bit difficult to predict as  the game only gets tougher now and a lot has to be put into consideration without neglecting how different the performance may turn out on the field of play. PSG will battle out with Barcelona, Arsenal with Munich, Real Madrid with City and Atletico with Dortmund. The toughest game of these schedules would have been all except for Munich and Arsenal but as it stands, Arsenal still has a shot against this German side.

Kylian Mbappe have already confirmed that he's going to leave Paris Saint Germaine at the end of the season and even when it's not been confirmed of where he'll be heading to, it's understood that the France national team captain is bound to be a Real Madrid player next season. A lot of clubs have shown strong interest to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint Germaine but he is more interested in joining a club that'll help him win the UEFA Champions League trophy and considering the squad at Real Madrid and the fact that they're managed by a manager that happens to be the most decorated manager on the competition having won it on four different occasions, Kylian Mbappe seems like he's very much interested in joining Real Madrid after the expiration of his current contract with Paris Saint Germaine in the summer.
The big problem for Paris Saint Germaine at the moment is how they can successfully get a good replacement for Kylian Mbappe at the end of the current season. Mbappe is one player that's very good with what he does with the ball at his feet and getting a player that can single handedly win big games for Paris Saint Germaine like he does will definitely be a big challenge for the club.
Kylian who has been on the mouth of media outlets as news about his transfer is a major source of revenue more especially for media outlets. No one knew where he’ll be headed especially after not giving in to Madrid since over 2 seasons. He’s had a dream of playing for the Los Blancos side but let’s just say he wasn’t ready to offer his services to the club. His services to the club was greatly needed and I think right now, he’s now ready to offer his services and I think his move to the Spanish club will be able to help him attain some individual accolades for himself.

 Kylian is one kind of player who plays an entertaining football but yet doesn’t fail to deliver anytime he’s called up on to do so. And for the spanish side who’re in need of a good striker, I think Kylian will be a perfect fit for that position and it’ll be a laudable experience seeing him in the white shirt. For Real Madrid fans, this news is one very big news that they dearly appreciates and can’t wait to see the French captain play and offer his services to the club. I also know and believe the players at Real Madrid are ready to welcome the striker and work with him to achieve greAtly for the club.

 PSG who are at the losing ends are all out already to get a replacement for him and I wish they’ll be able to go easy on the process of getting the replacement as Kylian replacement might not be at his level right now and will need the right tutorship to get to that A level. This is one big factor PSG should consider as they will be saving lots of money signing a less cheaper player with grwat potentials. I wish Mbappe luck in his new career path as he should also learn to himble himself in the Spanish club and I also wish PSG luck to in their search for a replacement.
