Accordin to L'equipe Mbappe already said yes to Real Madrid.
I've crossedcheck every vital details posted by one of the best journalists in football, FabrizioRomano, the news confirmed, Real Madrid offering the Frenchman lower salary because they think development will continue to shoots with or without Kylian Mbappe in the team. Kylian Mbappe eager to exits Parc des Princes stadium at the end of this season. Tragedy stroked because PSG performance derives from the incredible performance from Kylian Mbappe. He's the pillar of the team when it comes to performance, he always have a way of putting out good job when everyone rely on him.
The most recent of the report I've read so far concerning the potential departure of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint Germaine says that  the France international have already informed the club of his decision to leave at the end of the season and in no distant time, the club is gonna release a statement in confirmation that Kylian Mbappe will leave the club at the end of the current season.

Real Madrid which is reported to be his next destination are reportedly not ready to pay his current wage instead, is trying to cut down his salary should Mbappe join them. Most of all these news are rumors as none of them have been officially confirmed by any of the bodies that are concerned. Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez have never hid his admiration for Kylian Mbappe and now that he's finally gotten the chance to bring him to Parc des Princes, I'm sure he's definitely gonna make sure he signs Mbappe to the club.

He doesn't only make you to feel disappointed, but he makes all people to feel the same. Bayern Munich was defeated against Leverkusen in Bundesliga, Bayern Munich got a defeat again in UCL. We can understand if they were defeated by Leverkusen, but it is too surprising to know Bayern Munich was defeated against Lazio. I don't know what's wrong with Tuchel and bayern Munich. I hope everything well, there is no bad rumor about the bad relationship between the players and Tuchel.


Bundesliga is tough, we understand but watching Bayer Leverkusen headcoach, Xabi Alonso taking it to a whole flash new heights is entertaining. Are there doubts for everyone to see when it comes to the club's that will be winning the Bundesliga title this season. For the fact that Bayer Leverkusen thrashed Bayern Munich 3 nil which was purely disgrace on Munich end. Leverkussen have taken another bold step to remained comfortable in making clean winning, they don't disturb but seeks their ultimate targets are reached at the end of the day.
In the past 11 seasons in the German Bundesliga, Bayern Munich have dominated and won the league which have made football fans across the globe to see the German league as the most boring league in the top five leagues in Europe but Xabi Alonso have significantly improved Bayer Leverkusen to stop that from happening again this season and their convincing win against Bayern Munich last weekend to maintain their unbeaten run in the league since the the start of the season have made many more people who initially never saw Bayer Leverkusen as a strong contender for the German league title to have a rethink.

The German Bundesliga campaign is currently entertaining to watch as the team that's always dominating is now struggling to catch up with Bayer Leverkusen. Hopefully for Bayer Leverkusen, they end Bayern Munich's dominance in the league at the end of the current season.

Since the start of the match, I knew PSG will defeat Real Sociedad since they are not performing as well as PSG this season. PSG is leading them with two goals in the first leg, and I believe Real Sociedad will advance to the Champions League round of 16.
In the first leg, PSG really didn't find any difficulty in facing Real Sociedad.
Although Real Sociedad tried to grab the ball and controlled it, but they were intercepted as optimally as possible by PSG's defenders. So it seems like they didn't have many opportunities to shoot on target. That is why they even couldn't score any goal during this first leg.
And in the second leg, even though Real Sociedad may bring better performance, I am still believe enough that PSG will be the winner of the match and continue to the next qualification.


Paris Saint Germaine's dominance display in their first leg match if the round of 16 tie against Real Sociedad was a surprise to me. I had already predicted a Paris Saint Germaine win in that game but I never expected them to dominate the game like they did and that's a strong indication that Paris Saint Germaine is very much prepared to have a great campaign in the UCL this season.

Real Sociedad still have a chance to over turn the deficit when they play host to the French champions in three weeks time but considering how impressive and formidable the Paris Saint Germaine team is at the moment, I don't think the Spanish La Liga club stands any chance to stop PSG from progressing to the next round.

It's really crazy seeing how the odd difference is between Manchester city and Chelsea this weekend. Manchester city has a very low odd of 1.32 and Chelsea has a staggering 7 odd which for me is really outrageous because Chelsea aren't good but I think Manchester city really found it difficult to win them at their last meeting although at that time Kevin de byrune wasn't available unlike now that he is back.
It is what it is, and the bookmakers know exactly what they are doing, i know the odds for a Chelsea win is somewhat tempting but i don't see any chance in hell of Chelsea winning that game. Talking about the first leg which was a 4-4 draw, i must admit that Chelsea performed above my expectations in that game, they took the game to City and got a point, which was no more than they deserved. Having said that, this reverse fixture is at the Etihad, where City are really comfortable and know how to win, thay are also on a winning run, which i expect to continue. Anyway if you think Chelsea has a chance, you can put some of your money on it. Wink
Bookmakers do depend on current form and statistics of each club to be able give them a certain number of odds against their opponents and considering the performance of Manchester City and Chelsea since December, I don't think there's anything wrong with the odds. Despite the high odd for Chelsea to win the game, there's still a possibility that Mauricio Pochentino's men can go to the Etihad stadium on Sunday and shock Manchester City by winning the game and taking all three points from the match.

However, considering what's at stake in that game against Chelsea this weekend, I don't see Pep Guardiola's Manchester City drop any point from that game. Erling Haaland and Kelvin De Bruyne will be fit for that particular encounter so I think it's very unlikely for Chelsea to get a point from that match

Rome made a big mistake by firing Mourinho. He was one of the best coaches, if not the best coach in the EL and could have achieved the best result with the team. De Rossi simply doesn't have the experience to be able to work at such a level like him.

I don't mean to underestimate Jose Mourinho, but he was unable to bring AS Roma's ranking up in the Serie A League competition. When Mourinho was still managing Roma, they were ranked 9th in the Serie A standings, in the Europa League group phase Roma were only able to finish in second place. 2nd. Last season, Roma lost in the first leg when they visited Feyenoord with a score of 0-1, at that time Jose Mourinho was in charge of the AS Roma squad. which means, Jose Mourinho is no better than De Rossi.

On the other hand, AS Roma was able to match the home team with a score of 1-1. as I said before, it could potentially end in a draw. even though in truth, I favor AS Roma. but unfortunately, this match ended in a draw. Well, it's not certain that if AS Roma was still managed by Jose Mourinho, Roma would be able to win the match against Feyenoord. In fact, there is no guarantee of that. On the other hand, in this match, under the guidance of De Rossi, AS Roma played quite well. he was able to instruct his team by providing resistance to the home team. The point is, the two teams played quite evenly even though Feyenoord dominated the match a little more. In this match, De Rossi played with an offensive pattern. At least he didn't fail to bring his team to defeat against Feyenoord, even though he was playing away from home. I think De Rossi has shown his best performance for his squad.  We'll see, in the second leg match later.
Undoubtedly, Jose Mourinho's performances in last days at Roma wasn't anywhere near impressive and that was the main reason he was sacked by the club but let's also not forget the fact that in his first season at Roma, he helped the club to lift the UEFA Conference League trophy. So while we talk about his shortcomings, we should also remember of his great contributions to the history of the club.

Daniele De Rossi since his appointment as the new managers of As Roma have doing exceptionally well for the club and the draw tonight at Feyenoord is a big step they've taken to reach the round of 16 in the UEFA Europa League competition. Hopefully they seal their win in the tie next week in Rome

In fact, Messi is an experienced player in Argentina and he can help the team but not as a player in the 2026 World Cup, Messi is a good player and he can guide younger players like Lautaro Martínez and Julián Álvarez to have better performances be he can do that as a coach but not as a player but currently I think Lautaro Martínez has much better performance than Messi and he can definitely help the team in the 2026 world up more than Messi.   
Argentina can survive with out Leo Messi? I think so because the players I've watch in previous Qater world cup, they were classic and display their potentials against top countries. Argentina deserves every bit of what they have today because they worked so hard for it. The debate of the GOATs comes to an end after Leo Messi lifted the World Cup after winning France in Penalty shootouts, it was hurting for the former Champs but they have to accept defeats in good faith. Leo Messi is important for Argentina because he has his own style of play that do creates valuable aides for his country side.

Argentina was a strong team even before Leo Messi I remember this team was playing very well and they were playing in the World Cups even without Messi. Regardless of that, they should accept that Argentina will finally lose Messi one day and it's better for them to get ready for it and try finding younger players instead of Messi for their team.
Currently, I think Argentina doesn't want to accept the age of Messi and his current situation because he is not in the good form anymore.

The truth is that even before the birth of Lionel Messi, Argentina have already been known as one of the biggest footballing nations and should Lionel Messi decide not to continue playing for the Argentine national team, they're still gonna be major contenders for any competition they playing in and that's because of the intimidating quality of players in the Argentina national team as well as the young players in the team that's shown great potentials already.
That being said, Lionel Messi remains a pivotal member of the Argentina team and until he decides to call it a day in his illustrious international career, Messi will still be regarded as the most important member of the squad.

PSG are doing well in the French Ligue 1 race, even though it's not as balanced as it ought to. They're a team expected to perform better than they're doing now judging from the performances of previous seasons. They're just a few points ahead and it's very much not buoyant for them as the increase in the league's intensity may unintentionally lead to their drop in position which they as a team shouldn't let to happen.

 They've also been able to advance to the round of 16 of the UCL and their Spanish opponent, who's not really a tough side as them but maybe stands a chance to advancing to the next stage. They'll have to be extra prepared for the game ahead. They also have to be careful about their league race. They've got to stay in shape and capacity too. They've got to use the games during the early second half of the season to cover up their tracks and also strive to be far better than Sociedad and even advance to the quarter finals.
Seems PSG more comfortable with their current standings on the first place behind 11 points left from Nice and get chance easily for winning Ligue 1 trophy left than 5 or 7 before Ligue 1 matches ended. PSG are doing well on every Ligue 1 match by winning three points and difference performed with the rival team Nice had losses points their last domestic league match. Domestic league trophy I don't think problem for PSG in this season behind many teams rival can't compete get three points every match and most of them get inconsistency for the winning trend performance.

PSG on confidence performance exactly after winning result in Champion League match, they will easily focus between domestic league and Champion League match regarding second leg match will play three weeks later and has more time recovery for making team keep focus get winning match in domestic league.
Paris Saint Germaine have been exceptionally impressive this season especially in the French Ligue 1 and I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop them from retaining the French league title for the 8th consecutive time at the end of the current season.
The other teams in the league doesn't look serious nor have anyone of them shown strong determination to challenge the French champions for the league title and that's why Paris Saint Germaine are very confident that they're gonna win the league at the end of the season.
Paris Saint Germaine's major concern at the moment is to win the UEFA Champions League title at the end of the current season and judging by their performance against Real Sociedad yesterday in the UCL, it's very obvious that they're in for a very serious business

Yes, I absolutely agree about Juventus needing to pray. They do not have any chance towards the title if Inter does not start losing. And they will also hope that Inter starts losing quickly. Already the difference is quite big. Juventus has definitely lost the gems themselves. Because they lost points in crucial matches. They also lost some very important matches as well. And inter laying on the top of the table is completely deserved because they did not make any mistakes like that. They were consistent. Of course, we might say that Juventus is going  through some problems right now. But at the end of the day, it does not matter. What matters is whether the team is bringing in winning scores or not.
So far Inter Milan has not shown any signs of a decline in performance, Inzaghi deserves appreciation after successfully eliminating Juventus in the hunt for the Scudetto. Allegri and his fleet failed to maintain their best level, the defeat to Udinese was the point where they lost their chance to win the Scudetto. Even though Inter will face a challenge in the Champions League, it is very likely that they will not lose their balance in Serie A, but this is just a personal assumption, it could be that I am completely wrong later.

Praying for Inter setback so that they experience setbacks is not a good idea, I mean it would be in vain if Juventus itself in the future loses a lot of points or in other words is inconsistent. Apart from that, what interesting is that Milan has the opportunity to overtake Juventus position in the future. The point difference between the two is only 1. However, to chase a ticket to the Champions League, I think this competition will be quite comfortable for both sides.
Juventus started the Italian Serie A season on a very good note
by being impressively consistent with their good results  and because they are not playing in any European competition this season, I thought they were gonna utilize that opportunity against their biggest rival of the season Inter Milan who are participating in the UEFA Champions League competition but surprisingly, their defeats in the last two league games have made it very difficult for them to be able to catch up with Inter Milan.

Juventus league defeat to Udinese last weekend made a lot of people to lose their money because since they were playing at home, almost everyone who predicted that game thought that Juventus were gonna easily win but Udinese shocked everyone by winning that game

In the match of PSG vs Real Sociedad team, Real Sociedad team did not score any goal. PSG team scored 2 goals to win the match. Before halftime, the players of both teams tried hard to score, but neither team could score any goal. After halftime, PSG team scored two goals.K.  Mbappe and B.  Two Barcola players scored in this match.

In PSG and Real Sociedad game, I can attest that only PSG played the game because the visiting team only had access to toss the ball around but they made the match look very boring since they had zero shots on target and zero goal attempts starting fron the beginning of the game till the final whistle.I think the PSG team find it difficult to beat the Real Sociedad defense that was why they find it difficult to score goals ib the first half but thanks to Mbappe and Bradley Barcola who got the goals in the 58th and 70th minutes to give the home team the win which they actually deserved because they were the better team last night.
Before the kick off game in the UEFA Champions League between Paris Saint Germaine and Spanish club Real Sociedad, I already predicted a Paris Saint Germaine win but was thinking they'll struggle to win but the performance of the away team yesterday is was very poor and surprising as well as I thought they were gonna deliver a better performance than what I saw.

In three weeks time, Paris Saint Germaine are gonna travel to Spain to play the second leg against Real Sociedad and if I'll be betting on that game, I'll still bank on a Paris Saint Germaine win because they've got all the quality players that is needed to white wash their opponents

I know Benzema wants to go, but of course you never know. His contract in Saudi Arabia has a very high fee. There is no team in Europe that can meet this. Of course, I don't know if the Saudi team wants to loan him and pay his salary. I don't think they will do such a thing. I think Benzema should focus on the league and prepare himself to be the best.

I thought that Karim Benzema have resolved his differences with the club Al Ittihad before now but it seems the internal issue he had with the club that made him decide to leave is still lingering but if I'm to advice him, I will simply tell him to try and resolve anything that's making him feel uncomfortable at the club so he can stay there in peace and help the club to improve their current performance.

At his current age, I don't think there's any club in Europe that'll want to pay the high amount he's currently receiving at Al Ittihad and again, he's won everything that's requested of a player that's playing club football football in Europe so making a come back to Europe in less than a year he left to join the Saudi Pro League at his current age and form isn't gonna help him achieve anything tangible in football if you ask me.

While we are getting close to the important match between Chelsea and Liverpool, it seems there is bad news for Liverpool and that's about their player Trent Alexander-Arnold. In the game between Liverpool and Burnley, Arnold got injured 45 after the start of the game and he had to leave the field, he also got injured before in the game against Arsenal on the 5th of January in the exactly same way.
Now Liverpool hasn't announced anything about his situation yet he is probably going to be absent from the game they are going to have against Chelsea.


While the whole 20 teams in the English Premier League are gearing up for the league matches of the weekend, it's obvious that Liverpool will be without their right back Trent Alexander-Arnold. It's been reported that he picked up an injury that's gonna stop him from playing for the club in the next 10 days which means that they're gonna play their match week 25 games without the England international.
However, I think they got another good defender who can replace Alexander-Arnold in the team till when he'll be fully fit again. Jurgen Klopp knows that he mustn't lose any league game at the moment to still remain in good position to win the league title this season as any defeat might just end up their quest to be crowned English Premier League Champions at the end of the current season

De Rossi will try to give his best for Roma, he will try to win this match to convince the club management that he is worthy of leading Roma. Feyenoord are not in their best form, this match should be very easy for Roma, winning the first leg is very important to look forward to an easier second leg. Roma must play like when they faced Inter, even though they lost, Roma's style of play was very good in this match.
Of course, De Rossi will manage AS Roma with his best. De Rossi must prepare for the match against Feyenoord with AS Roma best lineup. If Feyenoord played not with their best lineup, AS Roma must have the advantage to exploit the weakness of Feyenoord. I'm sure, playing against Feyenoord will be easier than playing against Inter Milan. As far as I know, the defense line of Feyenoord isn't as strong as the defense of Inter Milan.

The focus of De Rossi should be the attacking line of AS Roma. The attackers still perform not consistently, Lukaku rarely scored goals now. Only Dybala who played quite productive in the recent time. However, Dybala has the weakness on his fitness because he often gets injured. That's makes Dybala almost never played full time.



 Roma should have a target. They should focus on finishing in the top four at the end of the season. Which is definitely going to be hard I know. But they should not give up. Right now the initial target should be getting into the top five. And decreasing the point difference.

I know that Roma has some problems with the attacking lineup. But I actually think that defending has not been any better as well. Because they have conceded a lot of goals in this season. The amount of goals that they have conceded is the most in the top 11 teams. With that type of defensive performance top-four finish definitely looks very tough.
The second half of the game between Dutch club Feyenoord and Italian club AS Roma is under way. The home team is still leading with a goal to nil thanks to Paixao last minute goal in the first half.
With the performance of both teams, I think it'll be difficult for Roma to take something away from the game. 
A draw will be a good result for Roma since they're gonna play host to their opponents tonight next week Thursday at the famous Stadio Olympico in Rome. Daniele De Rossi who's the manager of Roma must do everything within his tactical strength to make sure his team gets at least a draw in the game but that'll actually be very difficult for them to do as the home team is still attacking to get more goals and seal their win

It's normal, Guler has no way to compete with the other midfielders, they're in the different level, so Guler need to be loaned and hopefully he can catch up their levels. Guler might need few years to develop, considering Real Madrid have so many great midfielders, so he might able to play when few of the current player leave Real Madrid.

Barcelona changed their mind because they don't have money to sign Guler. Cheesy
I've been able to watch Arder Guler a few times and I can authoritatively say that the few times I watched him, he was able to show signs of a player with great potentials but the truth is that all the positions he can perfectly play in the Real Madrid squad is currently occupied by players that's already established themselves as star players so if he doesn't leave Real Madrid at the moment and go on a loan move to another club, he's very unlikely to get playing time at the club.
If Barcelona can't sign him on loan, I think other big clubs in Europe who can afford him can sign so the best decision for him at the moment is to look for a club that can sign him on loan and join so as to further develop himself.

Only stupid parents prioritize their passion for gambling rather than their children. This man was very unreasonable in letting his two children be in danger, even though his children still need parental attention, he deserves punishment!!!
Not two children, but a two-year-old kid was left behind alone while his father was gambling. Guess what, if you read the whole statement, you will know that the father was arrested and received punishment for what he has done.
Not all adults deserves to be parents if you ask me because how on earth will a fully grown adult leave a two year old toddler alone at home just to satisfy his gambling addiction. This is one of the dangers of getting married to a chronic gambler because he's definitely gonna make sure you regret the day you accepted to be his life partner. My advice is that married people should always try and study their spouses and know if they're addicted to gambling so they can know the kind of things they can leave at the disposal of their spouses

Bayern Munich two consecutive defeats in two different events have left Tuchel with a bad record. It is hoped that his arrival will bring Bayern even better achievements than Julian Nagelsmann, but so far Bayern losing record in the Tuchel era is worse than in the Nagelsmann era. The results that have just been achieved in the UCL have put Tuchel's abilities in doubt because he is deemed unable to bring Bayern to its best level.

This result proves that Nagelsmann Bayern era was better than Tuchel era. Bayern lost 10 times from 84 matches under Nagelsmann guidance, Meanwhile under Tuchel control, Bayern Munich has lost 10 times in 43 matches. It will be difficult for Bayern to defend the Bundesliga title if they still have difficulty scoring goals. In the last two matches, Bayern always controlled the game, but not a single goal was scored.

Bayern Munich had a rough time in both the domestic league and now Champions League defeat within just four days.
Under Tuchel, Bayern's performance has been disappointing. He might be sacked by the end of the season if he doesn't win the Champions League or the Bundesliga title.
Watching Bayern tonight was disappointing. They seemed to lack passion and were quite sluggish on the field.
Tuchel's Bayern is disappointing me lately. There's promise, but the passion and desire arent there on the field. A lot of thinking about Tuchel's career shows that he excels in uplifting lesser clubs. How about his time with Mainz or Chelsea's UCL win? Manage a powerhouse like Bayern seems to be difficult for him. He excels in transforming underdogs, not leading dominant teams. His situation is difficult, and I wouldnt be surprised if Bayern changes things if things dont improve soon.
Considering their number of wins and defeats, Julian Nagelsmann is without doubt a better manager for Bayern Munich than their current manager Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel have been awful with his managerial approaches to games especially the very important ones and I don't expect him to retain his job if Bayern Munich continues like this.
Recently they were beaten in the league by Bayer Leverkusen and yesterday again they were beaten by Lazio again. Thomas Tuchel's job is on the line and if he doesn't improve his result with the squad, he'll be sacked

I think you're right to some reasonable extent, or should I say he's yet to give his best for his country. Most Nigerian players perform better at club levels, possibly because of the I'll treatment from the Nigerian football federation.

I still disagree that Iwobi is a good player, he lacks proper football sense to make him outstanding. Just like some sayings about some guys who are good,  but not harnessing their full potentials. Just like Pogba of France and Balotelli of Italy I guess. The Moment he starts dedicating his everything to this game, trust me he'll be indispensable. He has the potentials, but he's not exploiting it to the fullest.
I think our views differ on what we consider good football players. Mario Balotelli was magical with the ball, his spell at Inter Milan and Manchester City was excellent. Never once was his ability to score goals in question, his attitude was his only problem. I’m not a Manchester United fan so my analysis on Paul Pogba may be biased, still I cannot deny his ability to score goals. Alex Iwobi is a also a good player who is finding it difficult to adapt to Poseiro’s style of football.
In my years as a football fan, I've seen players who doesn't give their best whenever they're playing for their national teams but plays the most beautiful football when they're playing for their darling clubs and I've also seen players who doesn't bring out their best for their clubs but delivers the best football for their countries while there are sets of footballers who gives their best regardless of where they're playing.
Alex Iwobi I think is a good midfielder but the truth is that he wasn't played in his natural position which is the number 8 rather he was played in a deeper role which was the number 10 and that was why he was as creative as he was expected to be. If Nigeria coach wants to get the best of Iwobi, he should simply play him in the attacking midfield line and I believe they're gonna get a better version of Iwobi than what we saw at the AFCON

Currently, Manchester City is displaying exceptional performance, igniting my confidence in the team's ability to overcome any opponent they encounter. I firmly believe that both the forthcoming matches against Chelsea and Brentford will result in victories for Manchester City. The rationale behind my conviction lies in the lackluster form exhibited by Chelsea and Brentford at present. Given their subpar performances, it appears highly likely that Manchester City will secure easy triumphs in these encounters.

Shifting focus to the Liverpool versus Brentford fixture, it's evident that Liverpool emerges as the favored contender. With Liverpool's commendable form in recent matches, it seems improbable that Brentford will pose a significant challenge, particularly considering their inconsistent showings. Moreover, Liverpool cannot afford to falter in any fixture, as such setbacks would undoubtedly diminish their prospects of clinching the Premier League title this season.

However, given that Brentford will be playing at home, cautious optimism is warranted given the unpredictable nature of football. Even if Liverpool might be the stronger team going into the game, anything can happen because the underdog frequently takes advantage of unanticipated opportunities to upend the status quo. Therefore, even with Liverpool's superiority, the game versus Brentford is expected to be a captivating show with unexpected turns and turns.

Manchester City who are the defending champions of the league for the 3rd consecutive time are having a sweet run in the defense of their title. They had injury crisis which to an extent affected the team’s performance and many people started seeing them off the title race. Well trust them to alway present us with a shocker as they’re now back in the race with a point below Liverpool and an outstanding match against Brentford. This weekend they play host to Chelsea in a match I feel City will have all 3 points especially judging from the way Chelsea has been inconsistent lately.

 Against Brentford later this week, I’ll still tip city to get all 3 points and lead the table as they squad is now back and the whole team now playing with very high determination. For Liverpool they’ll have a match against Brentford this weekend and Liverpool is supposed to win but I feel the injury woes might affect them. Especially as they’ve added new players to their injury list, this will be one big scare for the team and I believe they’ll have to be careful so as not to lose against Brentford but still I’ll tip on Liverpool to either win or get a draw to at least still maintain the fact they’re in a title chase.
Pep Guardiola is one manager that wants to win as many titles as possible and he's never tired of breaking football records no matter how difficult they seem to be. Last season, his Manchester City team won the treble which included the English Premier League title a win that saw them lift the league title for the fourth time in five years and three in the last three years. This season, he's trying to make sure they win it again to become the first manager to do that in four consecutive seasons.
Currently, Manchester City are behind league leaders Liverpool but if they can win their outstanding match, they'll go above Liverpool. Like their manager said, they're taking every game one at a time and I believe they'll beat Chelsea on Sunday.

Controlling yourself and keep that positive mindset where if you win then quit with the money, if you lose, move forward and forget about adding more deposit to recover as quick as possible, luck is not always beside you, most of the time your aggressions made you lose more than what you can afford.

Like you rightly said, self control is actually very vital whenever we are gambling as it'll help us not to take any decision that we might just regret later when we are done with our gambling activities.
When a gambler lacks self control and wins big in gambling, he might not wisely put his winnings to good use which will make him to regret his actions later. So when a gambler wins, he's expected to invest his winnings into something meaningful that'll financially back him up whenever he needs money instead of lavishing his winnings by making excess merry.

Lazio winning Bayern Munich may seem like a surprise to many but to me I saw it coming because despite the fact that Bayern Munich is a big name in football history, but for them to lose against Bayern Leverkusen regardless of the fact they are topping the league table means that Bayern Munich have started losing their strength and even if they were to lose that match it would have been by a goal difference but they lost 3:0 so that losing to Bayern Leverkusen really killed Bayern Munich's winning spence hence they went into the Champions league without any concrete arrangement on how to win Lazio so to me i knew Bayern Munich would lose that match.

Tipping the winners of champions league now might not really be achievable unless after this knockout stages because some of the clubs you listed above may not actually make it to the next round.
Lazio performance very poor in domestic league and current standings position left many points behind top fourth position,
its surprised with the match result Lazio victory on the first leg match against Bayern Munich had better position in their domestic league. I have predicted for the first leg match easily for Bayern Munich won over 3-0 but match statistic very bad without made shot on target. If Bayern Munich eliminated from Champion League actually left Manchester City and Real Madrid is strong candidate teams become the winner.

Lazio can secure their first leg winning by playing full defensive on second leg match, put many holding or defender players in their defense area and prefer counter attack only for getting chance qualifying to quarter final round in Champion League, in huge pressure position teams with full defensive game play have bigger chance for winning than teams with playing more offensive.
Despite Lazio's inconsistency in the Italian Serie A since the start of the season, they did not allow that to get the better of them as they produced a great performance against Bayern Munich to win the first leg of their round of 16 tie in the UEFA Champions League competition.
Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel is currently not implementing the right tactical approaches that'll bring out the best from a squad that possesses some of the best players in Europe and that's why I think he's very likely to get sacked if Lazio eliminates Bayern Munich at the end of the round of 16 tie. In Thomas Tuchel's first 43 games for Bayern Munich, the German coach has lost 10 games already which is the same number of defeats his predecessor suffered in his first 84 matches for the club and that shows how poor Bayern Munich have been under him.

    • Galatasaray vs Sparta Praha
    • Shakhtar Donetsk vs Marseille
    • Feyenoord vs Roma
    • Young Boy vs Sporting
    • Milan vs Rennes
    • Braga vs Qarabag
    • Benfica vs Toulouse
    • Lens vs Freiburg

    I'll be down for Lens to get three points today at home, they've had a good ride just in the very first season they got qualified for the UEFA European Competitions. Lens to definitely win.

    For Ac Milan and Rennes, I'd say a fulltime draw game honestly. They both got a tight game over the weekend with same goalscoring and both won but tonight, sure gone be tough. All squared at ⁹⁰ Minutes!

    Roma did play a tough side during weekend against Inter Milan, I'm hopeful they can still completely face this game. They should have won but odds currently against them. A win or draw would be peng. Same for Marseille and for the Gala game man, lol, I don't know. Much difficult than I thought it'll be.
    If UEFA Europa League game tonight between Lens and German Bundesliga club Freiburg was played by this time last season, I would've easily predicted that the French club was gonna win the game because of their consistent impressive performances of last season but since the start of the season, Lens have been a shadow of the side that closely battled with Paris Saint Germaine for the French league title last season. If I should bet on that game, I'll rather bet on a Lens win or draw instead of a direct win for the home team.

    For AC Milan Rennes, I think the Italian club are easily gonna win the game then for Roma, this will be another strong game to text the tactical strength of their new manager Daniele De Rossi and I think it'll be a win or draw for the Italian club [/list]
