According to my prediction for the first leg, Liverpool will win the game. It's a habit for Real Madrid to lose the first leg, and they will fight it out in the second.
But if we look at the declining performance of Liverpool's players, it might be difficult for them to beat Real Madrid. Moreover, talking about UEFA, Madrid will do anything to get a ticket to the next round. If Real Madrid put young players in the midfield, it will give Real Madrid a bad performance.
Real Madrid doesn't frequently lose in the first leg, on the previous year Real Madrid was only lose for few times. Although Liverpool is strong in Champions League, but their current performance is bad and I don't think they can beat Real Madrid. Well, it's not a bad idea to put young players in the midfield because they also have good performance just like their senior teammates. Ceballos, Valverde, Tchouameni and Camavinga are good players, Tchouameni just need to learn and have more experience to be as good as Casemiro. Liverpool are going nowhere further after this stage it's the same for Madrid after this stage It's the champions league you don't just input young players you also add experience to win difficult games Ceballos and Valverde for the start and Modric I will suggest Real Madrid has a very good squad and an experienced coach, so it doesn't make sense to start thinking who will start for Real Madrid and who will bench. Whether they start old players or young players they will also get results especially when they have their experienced coach who knows when and how to feature. Liverpool is not in good form to win Real Madrid convincingly in the Champions League. |

Hakimi and Messi scored legendary goals today, these were no ordinary goals. Messi's goal has become like automation now and he can still score at this age. PSG looks better against Bayern Munich for now no matter what anyone says, because they have a great talent pool. One of the players is in form in any match and by scoring an extra goal completely differentiates the result like the goals scored today. He has a lot of positive things in the champions league.
Messi has become a savior for PSG from getting draw again. I meant messi's goal was making the club can save three points from toulouse. There was another problem was coming for PSG. It seems like that mbappe has been forcing PSG to buy bernardo silva from manchester city. Messi will be gone soon and it seems like that mbappe was giving PSG a suggestion for a player to replace messi in PSG. We will not see messi again in the french league. What someone learnt in the youthful age cannot be forgotten easily in the old age. In as much as Messi is still playing football he can always and he will always score wonderful goals. Psg may likely seem that they are better than Bayern Munich for now but there is a spirit that comes with champions league and when that spirit comes the game will move to another level of vibration. |

Aubameyang had a good game against Ac Milan during the champions league
He's presence in that game made it possible to open milans defense
The more times he's given, the more poor results Chelsea will get
It's useless now, he can't be in the squad for the Champions League and one possibility now is to leave for next season. His presence at the moment doesn't seem to be really needed by Chelsea except if he's comfortable on the bench until the end and I don't think he's that naive because he can still compete but now he can't be in the big team all the time because it won't be very profitable for him herself. You shouldn't say that a player like Aubameyang is useless, it is a bad statement to make about any player and not even Aubameyang. No player in active playing should be called useless. They have their capabilities and it will be known when new coaches handle them. For Aubameyang and Chelsea, he should look for another club. No chances for him there. |

We may not know the exact cause behind Liverpool's poor results this season because there are no different players in the Liverpool squad.
It seems you are not really following Liverpool's squad list at all. There is a huge difference compared to last season and that one of the huge missing piece was Sadio Mane. It might seems like Salah carried the team last season but it was actually Mane alongside Salah so when Mane left the team, there isnt any other player that managed to fill in that piece hence the strategy kinda fell apart You don't try to play blind or ignorance to Liverpool problem this season. Last season was a totally different in the playing pattern of Liverpool. The squad of Liverpool is totally different from what we saw last season. Everything is orchestrated by the departure of Sadio Mane. Liverpool in their widest dream didn't know it will happen like this. |

Meanwhile, Manchester City will also really hope to win the match against Tottenham tomorrow. It's tough away match for them in the first week of February, but if they want to make points with Arsenal to 2, then Manchester City must win it.
I hope for Arsenals sake that the best result that Manchester city will get from that game should be a draw, and not a win. Tottenham can do it, they have the home advantage, and they can step up to the big challenge to defeat Pep's team. I think Liverpool needs money to overhaul their squad.
It can be disappointing after spending money to get new players in important position for your club and still they show no immediate results. That is the situation Liverpool is in. Tomorrow's feature of Manchester City and Tottenham is a tough one and we also expect the match to be tough. I would not be happy if I see the Citizens scoring Tottenham like 2 goals in the first half. I trust Conte and his boys that no matter anything is their duty to give good fight against Manchester City |

Another advantage of Erik Ten Hak is being able to combine speed techniques and Marcus Rasford has proven to be a very dangerous player in front of goal at the moment, these two patterns can hinder Barcelona's full possession of the ball, so that speed can be used to carry out quick counterattacks. Of course not all matches will be the same and I think Erik Ten Hak has found a strategy against Barcelona.
Manchester United is in very good form. Manchester United performed well today against Crystal Palace. Their match strategy was good. But they have to play better if they want to win against Barcelona. And the important thing is that they need to strengthen their defense. If the defense is not strong, they will not be able to resist the attack of Dembele, and Lewandowski. Lewandowski is a very experienced player. Manchester united got all it needs to win Barcelona if they really want to to. Before now Rashford and Co used to have uncontrolled speed and no good football. But since Ten Hag took over he is bringing the best out of the boys who are willing to play nice football. By next season you will be surprised how good Chelsea . |

If any team is suppose to be successful in the French league it should be PSG because the have the most sophicated world star footballers but we see them been inconsistent in their matches, PSG has always played an unpredictable football where we see smaller teams getting a draw from them, they have to make strong effort in the team in other to maintain their position in the league table.
I am waiting for that time when another club will rise from France and sign big player names like psg and start competition with psg. It will be so interesting if this happens. But unfortunately it is always psg and only them has the money because big players after every season goes to the team that will pay them well. |

Real Madrid was expected to win in that game and Valencia was waiting to lose otherwise they wouldn't kick their coach Gattuso just 2 days before the match...
I think they're justified in their firing of Gattuso. Valencia have been really poor under him. They are 15th on the table and aside that they play very poorly. It was always expected of Madrid win with against them with or without Gattuso getting sacked. Let's see if they they can get a good manager they can turn their season around cause it's definitely not too late. However 16th position for them now is clearly very bad and looking at them in statistics especially for the last 5 matches which only 1 draw the rest is a clear defeat this is not very good for them so indeed he was let go even though he is not even one season yet for Valencia. But on the other hand, this is also a bit inconvenient for them with the change of a new coach, actually because they could have been much worse. I know when Valencia used to be among the big names in Laliga. But are different now with their poor performance. Concerning the new coach, I have not believed that all great players will always make good coaches. Use Lampard of Everton in English Premier, just as he is sacked, Everton won against title leaders Arsenal i |

It will be difficult to predict exactly which team will win the match between PSG and Bayern Munich. Because both teams of Bayern Munich and PSG do not have the stability of the game. So it is difficult to say how the match will be.
If the assessment is taken from the results of matches that have been played by both of them in their respective domestic leagues, it does not look so stable. But when it comes to the Champions League, I think both of these teams will try their best to be as good as possible and even better than their performances in their domestic league. Because basically these two teams are still equally strong this season, as well as the ranking they hold in their domestic league. It may be as a result of irregularity in the pattern pf play of the clubs in their local league and the Champion leagues is a different thing entirely, some clubs may be performing very poor in their local league, and when it come to championship their play well. *as being said some clubs may not be able to make any difference in the championships. When you check the whole assessment in the summation phase, you will understand that the local league analysis is not holding water. If you check the ligue 1 table you will understand that psg is at the top. When you also check the Bundesliga you will understand that Bayern Munich is at the top. So what are we saying again? They are doing well in their local league and technically reserving for champions league. |

Aubameyang has been insulted by excluding him from champions league squad . It's obvious Potter Graham and Aubameyang is not in good relationship. Aubameyang should look for another Club that will value him. Chelsea is done with Aubameyang , he should look for a better club to show case his talent.
This is the impact of the many new players who have arrived for Chelsea this season on the other hand from several statements issued as if in this case Aubameyang has also failed to make a big contribution to Chelsea so far so he will not play in the Champions League. Obviously this will make the relationship even hotter I feel but leaving is also a bit difficult to be in a big club again for Aubameyang now given his age. If I should sincerely acces the matter from the other angle of my reasoning, Aubameyang has not really done well to be dependent on to deliver in the Champions League. Many new and young blood has entered the team, so Potter now has options. I don't think that personal relationship is playing out. It is strictly based on performance. |

Not everything can really run smoothly as you wish.
Sometimes you are hoping for some trophies but then you get nothing and sometimes when you hope for a domestic league trophy but then you get the champions league , well chelsea had hope to win the champions league though and hoping everyone wrong with those insane transfer.
Chelsea is in first place in the Serie E Champions League, but Chelsea may not necessarily be able to compete against some of the other big clubs which are terrible. So far, Chelsea has had a very difficult time winning every game. I don't wanna try to underestimate any team before i see the result from the match with my eyes. I meant yeah sometime chelsea was struggling in EPL but it may able have a different performance in the UCL. We will see what's gonna be the result between chelsea against dortmund in the first leg. If chelsea will able to win against dortmund with huge scores and i do believe if chelsea is going to make it. At lease the team potentially to win champion league again. The same scenario that happened with chelsea in 2021. We don't need to underestimate any team but when the season goes to a very good length where winners can be predicted, it will become clear the possibilities of different teams winning different trophies. No matter how many players Chelsea will sign this season, they will not enter top 4 of the English Premier League but they could beat Dortmund if they work hard. |

Liverpool are a huge mess now. They should have beaten an opponent like Wolves easily. But they got a very shocking defeat by a score like 3-0. How can they explain this horrible result?
Liverpool had so many goal attempts during the match though but they were too bad at finding the target. They are facing the same problems still. The current injuries they are experiencing are also causing this to happen of course. Firmino and Diaz's absence is felt too much right now. If they were here at least they could have been better at scoring goals. Wolves were one of the terrible scoring teams in the league actually but even they scored 3 goals against Liverpool.
The result of Liverpool was shocking to me and was also not shocking to me because I know Liverpool is not in good form. But I also did not think that Wolves would beat Liverpool by 3 goals to nil. Well I can say that the problem of Liverpool started from Mane transfer and now coupled with Diaz injury. I think Liverpool needs money to overhaul their squad. |

The problem is, PSG do not have midfielders who are creative enough when building attacks. especially when facing teams that tend to defend. I think last January, Galtier will bring in a newcomer who plays as an attacking midfielder. but in fact, that didn't happen. related to Mbappe's injury, by the way. as we know, PSG's front line will be slightly less sharp. but in truth, we cannot rule out the existence of Neymar and Messi. because after all, Bayern will not underestimate PSG in the first leg later.
Any club if it faces a team that piles up players on the defensive line will find it difficult to penetrate it. I think PSG have a lot of good midfielders like Verratti. If you look at Barcelona, Man city they also have the same problem. So blaming my linebacker isn't great. The coach also plays a role in shaping the pattern of the game. Indeed without Mbappe, Neymar and Messi PSG are difficult to win. Of course Mbappe's injury was very beneficial to Munich, because I heard he will miss 3 weeks and it is certain that the first leg he will be absent. PSG's defense is weak. But their attack is strong. And the attacking performance depends entirely on the trio of Neymar, Messi and Mbappe. But now PSG's performance is somewhat erratic. But I would say that the success of the teams in the Champions League depends to a large extent on the coach's match strategy. If the coach's match strategy is not good, it is not possible to get the expected results even with a strong squad. As psg attack is strong, it will make it very difficult for their defence to face pressure. When a team has a very good attack, it will make the team to be playing their football in the opposition half, thereby making their own defence not to be under too much pressure. This is why the weakness of psg defence is not seen in every match. |

Leverkusen are still unable to restore their performance after the previous Dortmund and with this they have again failed to gain points in the last 2 matches.
It's actually a shame when they are the favorites in this match but indeed Augsburg also did good things in this match. They were very disciplined and one goal made them more focused on defense until the end of the match
From what i have seen on the review between Augsburg and Leverkusen , Leverkusen was the better team til to the 55 Min. After the goal for Augsburg they also got a few chances to score a goal for the draw , but they was again unlucky to score. Thought Leverkusen will win it and so i lost my bet on this game. The gameplay of Leverkusen and Augsburg was not nearly the same. Both teams played well enough. However, Augsburg was very lucky to get full points from the match. The Leverkusen team has lost both matches in a row. Leverkusen lost the truck again after performing well in several consecutive matches. On the other hand, the Augsburg team is at a safe distance from the relegation zone by getting 3 points in this match. Augsburg is currently in 13th place in the points table. I'm not surprised. Augsburg had a very impressive performance against Borussia Dortmund, Freiburg, and Monchengladbach, though they lose, the unyielding spirit showed in their performance. It only takes an opponent with a very good front three to destroy Augsburg defending Bob and that was what secured the winning for Borrusia Dortmund, and Freiburg. Let's see if Leverkusen will bounce back to winning in the next match after losing two straight legs. |

I'm really happy to see Enzo in the pitch today, I wish him and Badiashile will be added to the champion league squad. I am so disappointed in Graham porter's changes
He couldn't make the right changes at the right time. Cucurella has been so unproductive since the beginning of the match. His inability to align with mudryke caused chelsea to play goalless in the first half of the game, but instead porter substituting him he end up substituting Mudryk.Porter has nothing good for chelsea.

It is very obvious that Graham porter is now the only problem that chelsea has. How in earth will you
mudryk? When Ziyech is there in the field making some sort of silly mistakes, and at the same time bring in Madueke to play the win which is naturally not his. Mudryk was the key to all the attacking influence chelsea had in the first half of the game. chelsea should lose or even have a draw in this match, it is porter's fault.

Cancelo has adapted to Bayern Munich really quickly indeed. He made an assist in his first match already. He will most probably be playing against Wolfsburg also I assume. Wolfsburg are one of the decent teams in this season. Especially their win by 6-0 against Freiburg is still hard to forget in my opinion.  I expect them to be a serious threat to Bayern Munich also. First of all I know the history between these teams. Wolfsburg can't defeat them for 8 years. This can't be overlooked of course. However we should always take the recent forms into account first. Bayern Munich aren't doing good in the league lately. Considering this fact they might struggle to get 3 points in this one also. I think both teams to score is the best option to bet on. I wouldn't believe Cancelo will leave Manchester city for any club any moment soon. Cancelo is a unique defender with good qualities. He was the strength behind Manchester City's triumphant move to the champion league finals last season. I heard he was given out as a result of internal differences in the team. But be that as it may, I think there would have been a better way for pep Guardiola to approach the issue order than selling him out |

Dortmund - Chelsea is another matchup I'm quite curious about. In fact Chelsea are quite favourite side to advance to next stage. But I still can't be sure about them now.
They have two more Premier League matches before taking on Dortmund in Signal Iduna Park. I'm curious about especially Mudryk's performance in these matches. He has a potential to add a big amount of strength to the attacking line. If Chelsea get positive results in these matches they will get more ready for Dortmund. Otherwise Dortmund seem solid recently and it reflects in their results as well. They might be able to surprise Chelsea and make serious difficulties for them.
Of course, one wouldn't be sure because of Chelsea's discouraging performance in their domestic league. But I believe if all eyes are turned away from the past performance and be focused on the strength of the two sides, you will affirm that chelsea is quite stronger and are the favorable side anyone could bet on as long as their champion league clash with Dortmund is consent, especially now that 3 more hungry players have been added to Chelsea champion league squad. |

There was no other choice but to win the match against Valencia and in the end Real Madrid managed to win 2-0. Do not underestimate Real Madrid because this victory proves that they are still capable of winning and provide enough additional points for Real Madrid to stay on top second place at the top of the standings.
That is just La Liga. Barcelona or Real Madrid will either be in the first or second position, they are the two clubs that have been dominating La Liga since, seeing Real Madrid at the second position is not surprising at all and the league would be won by one of the two clubs. Definitely what did we expect? Real Madrid versus Valencia when Valencia is not a good club as of some times in the past, Real Madrid has not even lost a single match at home this season. Real Madrid's victory is still normal because Valencia is also not in the best shape at this moment, so if Real Madrid can beat Valencia I don't think that victory can prove anything. Because after all, on paper Real Madrid had been projected to win and this victory also meant that Real Madrid still had a five-point gap with Barcelona. But what was so great about this 2-0 win was only two goals were scored in such a short amount of time, and they were certainly great goals. It's quite inappropriate to say that Real Madrid's win against Valentia proved nothing. Valencia had already lost against collateral before meeting Real Madrid and for that, they were not willing to accept another defeat so quickly and which made the match quite difficult for real Madrid. I wouldn't say that Winning in that match show how weak the losing side was, rather it shows how strong and lucky the winning side was. |

today even with Chelsea's current condition and position in the EPL standing, the book makers are still sighting them to win against Fulham in today's match. 5.40 odd for Fulham is quite a big odd, very tempting odd that can trigger people to take risks. From records and results, Fulham is better than Chelsea. But from individual capacity and strength, Chelsea is quite a better side. If anyone wants to take the risk, The draw odd is good to go with because the probability of drawing is quite larger.
