Currently, we have some teams in good form like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, and that's why I think with the current situation from all teams in the Champions League, these teams got more chance to win the title than all the other teams, Manchester City won the tournament in the last season and they had a coach like Guardiola in their teams but that's not ag good reason to as they can have more chance because in the recent games we saw from this team, they had disappointing performance compared to their performance we saw in the last season.
I agree that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich the main candidate to win the Champions League trophy but never ignore Manchester City because currently Manchester City is ready to compete with anyone after their mainstay player Kevin de Bruyne has recovered from injury. How bad Manchester City played in the previous match could not be used as a reference because the match was without Kevin de Bruyne, I think these 3 teams will go to the semifinals and we still need one more team, who is more appropriate to be there?

If De Bruyne and Haaland are able to continue their excellent performances like last season, then Manchester City will surely win the Champions League title this season as well. Also Bayern Munich team is very strong this season. The Munich management have built their squad this season with the aim of winning the Champions League title and the squad is very strong. Kane is also able to score a lot of goals. On the other hand, the performance of Real Madrid with the help of Ancelotti is very consistent. Looking forward to seeing how Madrid fare against the strong teams in the knockout rounds with their weak attack.

No ETA when those guys will be back again to the field caused by de bruyne needs to pass various test before he will able to play with manchester city again. Im not being skeptical about him but bruyne may able to play again next year.
We hope de bruyne and haaland can comeback as soon as possible but let's see how fast the development of their injury. Im not expecting they can back in a short time. Manchester city is going to be a disaster for other clubs if there will be haaland and de bruyne to play.
It's caused by they were always threatening any teams. I would like to see those guys to come back but i know that's impossible to happen. Manchester city can at very least still win the game and it's enough to keep up liverpool which is in the first position.
The come of haaland and bruyne will able to change a lot of things. They are keys owned by manchester city.

Sure, it will always depend on the decision of Perez as the president of Real Madrid club. Perez has said that Real Madrid will wait for the end of Mbappe's contract with PSG. However, Real Madrid is in urgent for a top striker. So, it is not impossible if Perez decides to sign Mbappe faster, they won't have a problem to spend some money.


However until now Perez is still the holder of power for Madrid so regardless of how this will end because after all Perez is still Perez with all his nature which is always haughty for leadership issue and his orders are absolute for Madrid.

Last season Madrid were not too ambitious about Mbappe news and even they seems to close themselves and did not want to be  associated with the drama from Mbappe but this could also be one of the strategies carried out so that they can interact and cooperate  comfortably without any media interference.
Real madrid never being ambitious to get mbappe from PSG. It's just matter of time till mbappe will be coming to the real madrid by himself. People were predicting mbappe to go to the real madrid once he will be completing his contract with PSG and we will be seeing it soon.
Im only feeling curious about whether madrid will be paying signing fees for mbappe if he will be coming to the real madrid soon. By the way, some news said that if mbappe is starting to think about the future of him.
Real madrid has been also reported will approach him to leave from PSG.

Now i think we just have to keep waiting about what will happen about the continuation of Mbappe because indeed  this will be very interesting considering the possibility of him leaving PSG is very large now but this is still difficult if in the end there is a new drama that actually makes Mbappe unable to leave PSG.  
PSG can lose a lot of money if the club let mbappe to leave from the club with free agent. Im sure that this is going to be another disappointed result from PSG caused by mbappe was a very important thing then he leaves without even given some millions for PSG.
It's very sad PSG must be losing one of its important asset. The club could sell him like 100 millions rather than let him go for free.

Today will be a very important game for Liverpool... If they beat a weak Newcastle, they will confirm the first place in the EPL... Newcastle is performing worse and worse during the season... I don't know why this is so, maybe because of the Champions League...ю. But I'm sorry that this season started badly for them... The points against Liverpool probably won't be taken...

The gap will be even bigger than this time caused by some clubs like arsenal got bad result. The only major threat for liverpool is manchester city right now. City is slowly climbing up again, and the club needs to be even more careful with it.
Klopp was not willing to see his club to do another bottle job again. Eventhough newcastle is still performing so badly but it doesn't mean liverpool can see it as underrated club soon. Liverpool needs to make sure it will not be losing against newcastle.

This is another big match that is happening this week. Liverpool shall not miss an opportunity to get three points from there. In fact, some players are still on fire like jota or diaz. Liverpool must not miss this momentum to get three points from newcstle.
Newcastle can also go to the bottom position if the club keeps to lose three points against its opponent. I wonder what squad that is going to be used by eddie howe.

Newcastle is not a strong club again and club needs a new coach to handle it. The performance from the players are dropping so hard compared to the last season. Newcastle will not play in UCL soon.

Arsenal surprisingly lost to Fulham 1-2. They took the lead in the 5th minute through Bukayo Saka's goal. Then Fulham responded through Raul Jimenez's goal in the 29th minute and Fulham doubled their lead in the 59th minute through Bobby Reid's goal. This is very surprising because Arsenal has performed poorly in the last 5 matches with three defeats. Does this mean the opposing team has found Arsenal's weakness?

It does, as you can see that if fulham has been learning a lot from the gameplay of arsenal. The main weakness of arsenal has been discovered and playing defensively against it will be increasing the chance to win against arsenal.
In fact, arsenal is not performing that good but fulham knew how to prevent the attackers of arsenal from scoring more goals in the last night. I meant you can see how martinelli did nothing in the game and trossard which was very confusing to break the defensive line of fulham.

The direct counter attack was often making defenders of arsenal lose their concentration. This is also forcing arsenal to play worst caused by it was alwas relying upon opponent to play openly. The different result whem arsenal was facing parking bus team like that.
This is a bad result for arsenal by losing three points and city is now having the same points as arsenal. Look at how fast manchester city is going up again.

Yes, I agree with you that Mbappe, Haaland and Kane are at a different level of competition to Ronaldo and that is a fact. But sometimes at an older age Ronaldo can still be productive and try to compete to chase other records. Ronaldo never once thought about retiring when he was at his current age.

However, what counts is the number of goals and despite being in a different generation, Ronaldo proves that competition still exists. All players have levels depending on their current age and Ronaldo will only be able to place his current performance in the Saudi league and will not be able to be at the top in European competitions like when he was young.

I wasn't talking about different generations here, I am ok with different generations competing with each other. But I don't like the comparison between players who play in totally different environments and under totally different conditions. I know that this statistic is counting goals globally and all players from all leagues are compared, but that's where this statistic lacks meaning as there is a huge difference whether Haaland breaks a record in the Premier League or Ronaldo breaks a record in the Saudi Professional League.

I do agree with it. I think that it's not even considering the difficulty of any league. I meant that comparison was just meaningless here. The comparison only considered SPL from the Asian continent, despite the fact that the majority of it actually comes from the European continent.
I can't even put SPL to have the same difficulty as premier league. It's amazing ronaldo to scores a lot in the saudi pro league but let's back to the when ronaldo was playing for manchester united in the premier league.

He created 18 goals from 30 matches on MU in 21 - 22, 1 goal from 10 matches in 22-23. The author failed to take into account the challenges of any league and instead, solely focused on the number of goals scored by players in their respective competitions.
It makes that comparison being so meaningless. It's not a fair comparison.

I don't remember a team that had a season as surprising as Borussia Dortmund. Maybe Stuttgart may be providing this in a positive sense because they are better than expected, but in a negative sense I think one of the biggest surprises belongs to them. Borussia Dortmund are now far away from their goal of winning the league title. For the top four, they will have to beat Leipzig. If they play worse in a few games, I'm almost sure we won't see them in the UCL next year.

They have failed to win any of their last 6 matches in all competitions which is very bad for a team that almost won the league last season although they have not lost many matches but they draw too much and it is the reason they don’t find themselves in the top 4. Dortmund are better than this and they need query themselves and do better because we all thought after a wonderful display and challenge for the title last season we would see a more determined team that will try and win the league again. They are far from winning the league but they can try and secure a spot in the top 4 to qualify for the next season champions league.
Title race is not possible anymore for the dortmund with the current situation. Dortmund has a very big gap toward the leader of bundesliga right now. The thing that makes me doubt how can dortmund perform better in UCL rather than in bundesliga?
Is there an important factor that was also affecting the outcome of dortmund in UCL? It is still struggling in the bundesliga which makes me feel doubt about the dortmund. Terzic is having a very difficult task to be done.

I meant that if dortmund will fail to qualify for UCL next season and this is going to be another disaster for the club. Dortmund really needs to keep up with the top club in the league. I never thought dortmund would be success in UCL but it's failed in the league. Despite the fact that the bundesliga season is not yet over and we are currently in the middle of it, this is sufficient evidence to suggest that Dortmund is still struggling with inconsistency.

Currently the gap between Inter Milan and Juventus is only two points. When we take a look about the difference between the two clubs, it is definitely the number of goals that Inter Milan scored (42) compared to 27 for Juventus. Inter are more efficient in the attack line than Juventus but also they received less goals than Juve even though both teams have good records in the defence line.
I don't know if Juventus could overtake Inter soon or not but the fight for the first place will be harder for sure!
Juventus don't have too powerful and goal productive attacking system in this season but they are playing and winning with traditional tactics of Italy football. Minimal winnings are enough for Juventus and in the match with Roma at Juventus Arena, they got only one goal and finalized the match.

One thing I like about Juventus is their defense, Juventus has a very solid defense just like Atletico Madrid in Spanish la Liga and if they are to score first, their opponents normally finds it difficult to equalize because of their solid defense and one thing that gives a club confident is having a good defense because if your opponents are unable to score, they will start getting tired and from there your strikers can do some finishing and possibly score but a situation whereas you don't have a good defense, the strikers will be tired because as soon as they start conceding goals their morale begins to drop. So definitely having a good defense is the way to stand and be able to win matches so Juventus winning Roma with a lone goal and still maintains it to the end of the match is a good one.

Probably the best in serie a, it's rarely conceding the ball unlike intermilan. The only problem is still remain unsolved its the attackers. Juventus didn't have good attackers right now, and this is the problem owned by juventus. To be honest, i actually though i was going to see a messed up formation from allegri but i was wrong. Even though juventus played safely but it's still able to winning the game against roma which has been proving if juventus is good. People are praising how juventus has very strong defenders and yeah it becomes the key owned by juventus to win the trophy.
Allegri got the job done pretty well against roma. Roma was not weak but juventus is always able preventing it from attacking the goal keeper. Juventus is not the same as last season but there is a slight improvement that is happening with the club. Allegri has been also praising his club for the won against roma which is one of strongest club in the serie a https://romapress.net/massimiliano-allegri-praises-juve-after-win-over-roma/

Glad to see that vlahovic is feeling even more confidence with his performance in the club. I can't wait another action to come from him soon.

I really did not expected Ancelotti to have something that would keep him there for a long time. I honestly expected him to go to Brazil at the end of the season, the fact that he is staying until 2026 is a big deal.

This also means that he is going to be able to play with the team that he basically built, obviously most of the players there were there before him, but a lot of them did gained a lot of time when he was there, mainly the young players. Was Rodrygo good before him? Of course, but not played this much, and plenty of other midfielders too. All in all I am expecting them to do very well under his management, they have done great so far and I think it's quite expectable that they will do very well until 2026 with him too.
He definitely had the right considerations and his decision answered all the rumors about Xabi Alonso who would be his replacement at Real Madrid.
Being a coach for a club that he is used to coaching will certainly be more comfortable, especially since there is nothing bad happening at Real Madrid that makes Ancelotti have to work harder, and this season Real Madrid has the opportunity to win at least two titles if they continue to perform well. especially if they can get a sharp, pure striker.

xabi alonso is under contract with bayern leverkusen also still long until 2026, and of course because leverkusen's achievements are good it certainly won't be easy to let go. coincidentally carlo anceloti's achievements with real madrid are also good. so instead of spending large funds to find a new coach the decision to extend carlo anceloti's contract is quite good. and the contract is up to 2026 the same as xabi alonso. so if xabi alonso is good continue with leverkusen 2026 surely join real madrid too.
It seems real madrid is trying to get xabi enough time to develop himself in the leverkusen. The biggest challenge for xabi was to beat bayern munich and its domination in the league for more than a decade ago. This may also become the main consideration from perez to extend ancellotti's contract. Yet we shall not be blind with so various achievements by ancellotti in real madrid as well. He has been winning many trophies with madrid and ancellotti was one of best coach in the world this time.

Xabi potentially become the next coach for madrid but this is still remain a speculation since xabi can also be recruited by other club too. It totally depends on him whether he will stay or leave from leverkusen.
It reminds me with the story of madrid with zidane. If it would not be xabi and we have zidane that can be recruited back too. He is also much more professional compared to the xabi.

Never forget him.

Currently Chelsea left 12 points behind Champion League spot standings and depend with Mauricio Pochentino how compete him self make Chelsea keep on the quit performance until the end this season. All possibility can reach by Chelsea although left many points to finish on top fourth standings position.

I don't think Chelsea have a chance to qualify for the Champions League. Chelsea's performance has been erratic. More importantly, Aston Villa, Tottenham and West Ham have been performing more consistently than Chelsea. So even if Chelsea come back on track and perform well, they will not be able to finish in the top four of the table unless Aston Villa, Tottenham and West Ham drop points in succession. My guess is that at the end of the season we will probably see Chelsea in seventh or eighth place in the table. Chelsea will not be able to make it into the top six.

First off all if we must analyze it based on the fact, chelsea is always climbing and down. It is winning the game but it will be also botting in the upcoming game. Chelsea is impossible to qualify for UCL next season if the club keeps show the same shit anytime.
The inconsistent from the club becomes the main problem. How can chelsea qualify for the UCL if the club earns and lose the points? In order for Chelsea to qualify for UCL, it is imperative that they obtain all of the points without even losing a single point.
The achievement gap that Chelsea needs to bridge is so significant that it appears almost impossible for them to secure a top 4 position, leading people to have lower expectations and anticipate them finishing in 6th place. It's obviously a sense prediction rather than think chelsea will go to the top 4.

It is widely acknowledged that there is a widespread desire to witness Chelsea's inclusion in the top 4, however, the realization of this ambition remains elusive. People can have very big dream but they shall also realize with the fact chelsea is still at the bottom.
It's still at the 10th with very big gap to the 4th position. Chelsea is still playing like shit ma friend. Don't expect a lot from this club.

Feyenoord was not an equal opponent compared to the roma. Roma was able beating napoli and it's enough in proving the capability of roma to beat its opponent. Im thinking that if roma needs to prepare everything. Jose needs to make sure roma can get the trophy after it was losing in the final against sevilla last season. Having lukaku was obviously boosting the performance from roma. I prefer to see that lukaku to play together with dybala. Another obstacle will come soon. Feyenoord needs to make sure it has defensive line especially about how to block lukaku's movement as this guy posses a threat for feyenoord. My intention was to highlight Lukaku's skill in retaining possession of the ball for an extended duration, giving his teammates ample time to find advantageous positions.
That's why a counter attack from roma needs to be considered as a very serious threat for feyenoord. It's feyenoord's most important task to know whether its defensive line was able to preventing him to give assist for his teammate.

Referring to the Roma versus Napoli match, the victory of Jose Mourinho's squad did not escape two Napoli players who were given red cards. it would be outrageous if Roma couldn't beat Napoli with 10 players. currently Roma is playing their match at Juventus headquarters, the temporary victory for Juventus with a score of 1-0. plus, this fight will end soon. Roma's performance was not much better, especially since Jose Mourinho did not have his mainstay pattern for his team's squad. currently, Roma is ranked 7th in the Serie A standings.

Meanwhile, Feyenoord is performing quite well in its domestic league, ranking 2nd. even though they are quite far apart from PSV who are at the top of the Eredivisie standings. if we refer to player depth, of course Roma is slightly better than Feyenoord. but that doesn't mean Arne Slot's squad will let his team fall to Roma at De Kuip, Feyenoord's headquarters. at least this team from the Eredivisie league cannot be underestimated. moreover, they played as the home team in the first leg. if the scenario is that Roma will tend to play defensively in the next match, Arne Slot's squad will take advantage of this to get maximum points and even work hard to score lots of goals. and if we refer to what sports betting bookies offer from the match between these two teams, Feyenoord is superior to AS Roma. even though it is temporary, at least the home team has a chance to overthrow Roma in the first leg. well, if this match is held and the odds don't change. so I will speculate to choose the home team in this playoff round.

Juventus was in another level. Im concerning about how strong the defensive line is owned by juventus. It was always winning the game with cleansheet and it's likely juventus will take intermilan's position. Allegri is just starting to help club to go to the trophy.
I meant that roma is having touble on its defensive line caused by sometimes it was not connecting between one to each other. This is the main problem that needs to be sorted out by mourinho. That loses is also telling us the main weakness owned by roma this time.
Im not even feeling that if roma will be facing another trouble if it will not fix the problem as soon as possible. Feyenoord is a considerably strong opponent. This is why, even though it has poor performance in UCL but we shall not call that feyenoord as a weak team.
It's caused by roma was not even better compared to the slavia praha and this must be noted as the main point for mourinho to call back his players to train even harder than before.
The defensive line needs also to be trained even better. Im not saying it's bad but in fact that if roma is also having poor defenders. No doubt if juventus was winning the game. This can be evaluation for mourinho before his club is going to face feyenoord.

Man City seemed to have prepared everything very neatly, when several lags were experienced they were able to survive a little so as not to fall too far into the position. Now the return of several  important players will provide additional strength in closing the gap with the teams at the top. Because currently there is instability occurring Aston Villa is starting to lose fuel to continue extending the positive trend and Arsenal has just been beaten by West Ham United without being able to put up a fight.  Maybe now Liverpool is worthy enough to  compete with Man City and prove who won the trophy.
manchester city will be going up again even with the secondary squad caused by some players were injured. Alvarez is still showing if he can be considered as a worthy striker for the club too. His performance is just very amazing to see that. There is no doubt that people are beginning to praise his performance, especially since he has been ordered to replace Haaland, who will be missing some matches due to an injury. Im very happy to see that alvarez is showing he is truly a world class striker. Pep seldom deployed him in the striker position, yet he consistently demonstrates outstanding performance. Arsenal was missing so numerous chances and gunner has been trying so hard to equalize the game or at least get another point but it keeps failed. Arteta needs to evaluate the performance of its club.
The main weakness of arsenal was a defensive strategy. It puts arsenal to gamble that involved very high risk caused by the club potentially received direct counter attack from its opponent.

Quote from: Helena Yu
We have five matches today:

Luton Town vs Chelsea, Chelsea to win @1.55

Aston Villa vs Burnley, draw @5.00

Crystal Palace vs Brentford, draw @3.30

Manchester City vs Sheffield United, both teams to score - no @2.63

You know that Chelsea are not yet stable in their performance in this season, and they are playing in the home of Luton Town which it will be difficult for Chelsea to defeat Luton Town in their home but Chelsea will score goals in this match but it will end up in the favour of Luton Town. If you look at the position Aston villa are now, it show that they will use that influence to dominate in this match to ensure they use home strategies to defeat Burnley 3-1 to embrace the three points from the match. There will be goals from both teams in this match but Manchester city will be the team that will win Sheffield united 3-2 to improve their points and position.

Due to Chelsea's inconsistent performance, I find it quite risky to bet on them to win the game, despite their positive result in the match against Palace. I'm not entirely confident that Chelsea will be able to pull it off. Luton was still performing so well and this is my main consideration to take safe bet even though chelsea's odds is pretty good though. The performance of chelsea was really awful, and it makes me feel disbelief with it. The process of chelsea been done wrong way. It was always facing difficulty to beat its opponent.
Even though it was also a mediocre team but it's very bad to see that how chelsea was bottling it in the match against the weak team like nottingham forest. The won against place gave us a little trust on it but im not fully trusting this club caused by it was always performing so badly.
Anytime when i watching jackson and what the fuck is wrong with this guy? This guy is always consistently getting offside anytime. I rarely saw he was leaving from the opponent defenders without getting offside.
No way he got a place to play as starting line up again soon. It was fucking crazy if poch will give him another chance to be starting line up. Jackson is too shit. My opinion based on how this guy being so clueless in the game.
Im so happy to see that chelsea was winning the game. Luton is evolving to be a strong team that was never playing defensively this time. It's amazing to see how big progress made by luton.

The challenge for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal in the standings, emphasizes Al Hilal's strong performance, especially in terms of a solid defense. The mention of Cristiano Ronaldo highlights the difficulty for Al Nassr to win the domestic league title, with a slim chance hinging on a crucial match against Al Hilal in the second half of the season. The overall sentiment suggests a tough competition and a critical opportunity for Al Nassr to secure points against a formidable opponent.
It's impossible mate. AL nassr will stay at the second place till the end of season. Al hilal is too strong and al nassr will never ever able to replace it. Al hilal is the perfect team in the saudi pro league by seeing the stats recorded by the club.
I saw that al nassr was nothing for al hilal and it has proven with the result when al hilal has been destroying al nassr with a lot of goals. So, we will be seeing al hilal to win the game this time. There will be another chance for al nassr to surpass al hilal.
The gap will become even bigger otherwise. We will be seeing more people to realize how strong al hilal is right now. It will be able to perform even better soon. Al hilal must admit that if al nassr was not a worthy competitor for al hilal.

Inter's draw was disappointing, especially if you had a bet on them. The match dynamics, with two first-half goals and Genoa having better statistics in the second half, indicate a subpar performance from Inter. Perhaps the year-end pressure affected their focus. On the other hand, Lazio faced challenges against Frosinone but turned the game around after conceding first. Despite a potentially narrow outcome, Lazio secured a victory.

I will not say frosinone play bad. It's really surprising me to see that how genoa was able being equal to the intermilan. It was really amazing to see that happens from genoa's side caused by it can be equal in the gameplay against intermilan. Intermilan was missing very important points. Intermilan tried so hard to win the game but it was failed to do that. Im feeling very disappointed to see that but since this is the final result and i must accept it. It sounds genoa knew how to prevent intermilan from dominating the game.
Simeone's squad was struggling to score another goal. Losing lautaro martinez has been giving very big impact to the club. It seems like that most contributions owned by martinez.

This is why the club could not winning the game and it feels like that intermilan is too depending on lautaro matinez. He reminds me with guirassy which was always able helping club to leave from the difficult situation.
Im not feeling doubt if intermilan carried by lautaro martinez alone. Thuram was a useless and overrated striker. He was not a successful striker.

And I see that this season Jose Mourinho's ambition to bring Roma to win the Europa League is quite big after their failure in last season's final and as we all know, Jose Mourinho has quite a lot of experience on the European stage and this is worth taking into account.

Everyone knows Mourinho and his dedication to targets. I agree with you that this match has a 50:50 chance but with Mourinho as coach it seems I will choose Roma who will be able to win the match and advance to the next round. Currently Roma is not performing well in Serie A but I think Feyenoord is not an opponent that should be compared to the top teams in the Serie A standings.

Feyenoord was not an equal opponent compared to the roma. Roma was able beating napoli and it's enough in proving the capability of roma to beat its opponent.

You are right because we have seen several seasons where Mbappe has always failed to bring PSG to become champions in the Champions League so if Mbappe stays with PSG of course he will have difficulty lifting the UCL trophy. The January transfer window will be the talk of his future because he is still young and many big teams want to sign him. I think he can win the UCL trophy if Mbappe joins Real Madrid.

But are Real Madrid interested in tempting Mbappe to join them in the January transfer window?  If Mabppe agrees, maybe Real Madrid will dominate the Champions League again as a team that will trophy consecutively.  Because Mbappe, Vini, Bellingham will be a very scary trio.

Nothing is going to happen in January as PSG would never let him go. They are playing in the next round of the Champions League, so how would it make sense for PSG to let him go now when they are still playing the Champions League while they decided against letting him go last summer? That doesn't make any sense. The talk about his transfer will continue once they got eliminated from the Champions League. That will be the moment when journalists will ask him that question again. For as long as they are not eliminated, Mbappe will emphasize that he keeps focusing on PSG only.

But with respect to PSG and whether Mbappe is to blame that they didn't win the title yet. I think you can never blame a single player for not winning a title. If anything, Mbappe contributed a big deal to PSG being a serious contender in the Champions League. He scored lots of goals for his team and it was the defense that messed up most of the time for no reason.

PSG is not caring anymore about him. Mbappe has got a new offer from PSG several times but he has demanded to leave from the club. Mbappe will not stay as he has confirmed that as long as there will be a club that was willing to pay 100m signed fee + 35m yearly salary then mbappe will go there but there was no club that is interesting to sign him with such price. Mbappe may be lowering its requirement once his contract will be very close to the expired. Mbappe has confirmed it if he was only awaiting his contract to be end with PSG.
He never stated that if he has agreed to extend his contract with PSG.There have been numerous speculations around him but you will be seeing him to wear other club's shirt. Im only waiting for which crazy club that was willing to agree in paying 100m signed bonus combined with 35m yearly salary. That's one of trick used by mbappe to get as much as money as possible. The next club would be paying signed fees for mbappe and it's not for PSG. Mbappe needs to learn from so many players like thiago silva.
Staying much longer in PSG will not help him a lot to gather as many trophies as possible. Mbappe has to leave from his comfort zone. It will develop him even better than before.

People think Xabi Alonso is the only reason for Leverkusen to get good results and that's totally wrong, Xabi Alonso is definitely a good coach, and he had an effective plan since he started working on this team.
Maybe without Xabi Alonso, they could never get the results they got so far during this season but the fact about Leverkusen is about the teamwork and I think just like Xabi Alonso in this team, other players and coaches had the same share of their success.

I get your point about PSG's domination in Ligue 1. They appear destined to win, which can make the league boring. I think there's more. Monaco and Marseille have shown flashes of brilliance and might push PSG. The issue is consistency. PSG's Champions League campaign may be hampered by their domestic supremacy. They're rarely challenged like Premier League or La Liga squads. Once they encounter true UCL difficulty, they change gears. If PSG wants to conquer Europe, they must improve that

Sometimes, i have questioned myself about why things that make monaco and marseille became very inconsistent like that. Do these teams have their internal problems or what? It's rarely seeing them all to play consistently till the end of season.
PSG was always taking the trophy and this is proving that if PSG is very strong right now. Does money really affect the consistency from the club? When a club like marseille played better for a few matches but the club became very inconsistent till the end of season which is not understandable.

Im always doubting the performance from other clubs when we are entering middle - end of seasons. It's caused by i was very often seeing them all play very inconsistent. It seems like that there are many problems owned by those clubs.
When you have money, it often feels like you have the power to obtain anything you desire, such as dominating the league at any given time and not even encountering a worthy competitor, as if the whole world is within your grasp.

I can't imagine Arsenal losing this match. I thought I was going to see Arsenal win. Arsenal players tried a lot to score. The entire match was dominated by Arsenal players, but they failed to win. Arsenal players had 74% of the ball possession. They made 30 shots in the whole match. Arsenal played completely attacking. They cannot keep their defense strong. West Ham attacked very little. But Arsenal's players failed to resist West Ham's counterattacks. And this is why they are defeated. Coach Arteta needs to strengthen his defense. Otherwise, it will not be possible for Arsenal to win the title.
Westham deserved it to win the game and yeah arsenal was not lucky enough. I was saying it was not lucky enough caused by arsenal was not playing so badly in that game. It's caused by in fact that if arsenal has made so many chances but the club was not lucky enough like when saka was shooting the ball but it was hitting the bar. It has become one of important moment in the match. This is why i was saying arsenal was not losing against westham in term of gameplay but it was losing against westham in term of luck.
Westham was always lucky enough caused by arsenal has been trying so hard to make it happen but it keeps failed till the end of match. Im feeling really disappointed with the result but since westham desrved it then i say congrats for westham.
You deserved it by playing consistently against arsenal in all of the minutes. Evaluating the club, especially in regard to their finishing, can be achieved by Arsenal utilizing the result against West Ham.
Arsenal has been trying so hard till the end of time.

Serhou Guirassy's probability to leave in January is increasing as it seems. Because there is a release clause for him which is really cheap for bigger teams. Manchester United, Tottenham and Milan are the speculated teams for this transfer for now. I understand especially the Red Devils' interest in him because of Hojlund's being really bad in the Premier League.  Sad

There are some clubs are trying to pursuit him right now. Acmilan has been potentially to be his new club but that's very saddened me to see that the latest announcement from the government regarding the club that was signing the player abroad.

Bad news arrived last night for Serie A clubs as the Government have decided not to grant an extension to the Growth Decree until 29 February 2024, as initially hypothesised.

This may be also decreasing the chance for milan to get him from stuttgart. FYI, guirassy was asking for 5 millions salary and it will be also giving more burden to the acmilan. let's see how this story will be going on.

Milan would also make use of a skilled striker like him while Giroud has got really old. Giroud is still a decent scorer compared to his age but at some point Milan would like to bench him or part their ways with him. But I don't know about whether Tottenham really need a striker now. Richarlison and Son must already be good enough for them.
As far as i know that there are totenham and manchester united that have been putting as the main target as well. The competition will be even stricter since guirassy has very cheap release clause. Milan will not be trying to miss it but it seems like that the condition on its league prevented milan to get him. I would like to see guirassy to play in the manchester united or totenham instead of acmilan. Acmilan needs to put more focus into the financial condition. It seems like that the situation for guirassy is just getting even more complicated than before./
He needs to pick which club that can buy him from stuttgart. I hope guirassy will determine it as soon as possible.

I'm guessing this is one of the funnier Premier League of the last decade.

Debacle for Arsenal and Spurs, I think Guardiola will win again in the end.

It's just matter of time till manchester city is going to climb again and take the first spot. The club is not in the good shape but let's said that the same stroy will happen again at the end of season. City is so strong even without haaland but alvarez is still able giving good performance as striker.

City is still losing a lot of its key players and it may take more time for city to take the first place. The only main problem if city may out from the UCL without performs with its best club.

guardiola will get its fourth EPL trophy.
