I support City retaining the title if they deserve it. Just look at how City was last season, they didn't give Bayern Munich and Real Madrid a chance. This season, City still has the same chance, especially if the core players in Pep Guardola's team squad do not experience injury problems. Nevertheless, we agree that defending the title in this competition is not easy at all. The reason is, every coach must prepare his team when they are about to play a match against their opposing team. There are only a few opportunities, in two meetings the competing teams must show their best performance. If they lose, it means they failed to advance to the next round. Plus, the meeting in the final round is a life and death match. There is no second match, if you lose it's over. That's why, I prefer to say that this competition is very much related to luck apart from team depth, mental readiness, performance and so on.

For me, City meets the criteria and has a high probability of that. In every season, there will always be surprises like Intermilan that is not a favorite at all. Apart from that, a strong team does not guarantee that it will win every match. however, because every coach will prepare his team to fight as best as possible. that's why, the probability of a strong team is higher and is also always the favorite. but it would be better, let's just watch and watch every match that will be presented in this competition. Anything could happen, especially since the last 16 of the Champions League hasn't started yet.Moreover, I would be very happy if one of my favorite teams entered the final in this competition. Even though I actually realize that my favorite team's chances are not as big as Manchester City and Real Madrid. but ok, the most important thing is that we are entertained by the beautiful games of modern football.

Previously, Al Hilal had tried to recruit players who also had big names before Neymar. however, Al Hilal's efforts always experience obstacles. either because the players are unwilling, or Al Hilal has other obstacles. especially when Al Hilal tried to target other top European stars, but their efforts always failed to materialize. I'm sure the club has considered it carefully when they speculated to bring Neymar from PSG. Moreover, the injury suffered by Neymar was not caused during his match with his new squad Al Hilal. So, it seems this scenario is beyond the club's expectations.

Let's see, several star players suffered injuries while playing matches with their national team. for example, Haaland with Norway, Salah with his national team, Viictor Boniface with his Nigerian national team. well, no one thought that something like that would happen. For me, I can't argue too far beyond my scope and authority. Whatever it is, Neymar was injured in his national team match, so it wasn't during his match in the Saudi Pro League. It is also important to note that the Saudi Pro League competition is not as tight as the European League competition. In this competition, Neymar actually has a lot of free time that doesn't drain his stamina and physique too much. referring to information I read based on the famous journalist, Fabrizio Romano. what was reported about Neymar has been denied by related parties. Neymar is scheduled to return after his injury recovers and is predicted to recover next summer. as for the additional slots made by Al Hilal, in order to maximize the vacant position due to Neymar suffering from a long injury. therefore, for the time being he has only been dropped for this season. btw, so far what I have said is based on sources from Al Hilal and Fabrizio Romano.

IMO, sooner or later, Nice will experience a decline in ranking and perhaps its position will be taken by AS Monaco, which is only 2 points behind, as well as Berst, whose ranking could be overtaken at any time by a team below it. Moreover, the difference in points from Nice to Lille is not that significant. At least, for me, AS Monaco has made more real progress than Nice, even with Berst. So, the problem is not how Nice competes with PSG in the race for the League trophy in this competition. however, how will the Nice squad maintain the position they currently occupy?.

Because AS Monaco and Lille at least have a chance to overtake the two teams who are ranked 2nd and 3rd. For me, PSG's chances are too difficult for teams below their ranking to beat. so ideally, how can Nice maintain its position in 2nd place in Lique 1 as much as possible. Not much different from Berst, in the end these teams will experience a decline in performance or the ranking they currently occupy. however, if Nice is able to maintain their position until the end of this season, this team deserves to be appreciated because their hard work has produced far more results than last season. Well, since this competition still has matches remaining until the season ends, we'll just follow developments. because every week, the positions at the top of second to fifth can change depending on the team's performance when they play their matches later.

A sweet debut for De Rossi, a novice coach who could possibly bring AS Roma to a much better performance. although many say this coach is very doubtful, especially regarding his experience. however, he proved it in his first match with his squad by getting full points and is now in 7th place behind Lazio and Atalanta, who are separated by a small difference in points. I am sure that the club management will not put a heavy burden on De Rossi's shoulders, to finish in the top four of the Serie A competition standings. Ideally, the AS Roma club hopes that De Rossi will be able to move in a better direction and have progress in the future. If De Rossi is lucky, it is possible that he could bring AS Roma to finish in 5th place or perhaps enter the top 4 of the Serie A standings. If not, at least De Rossi should not downgrade his squad to a much underperforming level than before he took over as head coach.

After all, we have just witnessed his first debut with AS Roma. there are still other matches, at least in the second match with AS Roma, De Rossi has the possibility of overthrowing Salernitana, Cagliari. then, the crucial match was against Inter Milan. After that, AS Roma will play in the play-off round against Feyenoord. the point is, this match is still a mystery and cannot be predicted with certainty and accuracy. It could be that Rome will experience defeat and decline. or, it's no coincidence that De Rossi was able to provide a surprise. Let's see how far As Roma goes in the hands of its new coach, De Rossi. as for Jose Mourinho, whatever he does is part of his rights and the privacy of his life to have fun when he is not actively managing a club.

You can look at AS Roma's statistics, since Mourinho handled this team. AS Roma has never entered the top 4 of the Serie A standings. Let's be realistic, in this season before Mourinho was fired, AS Roma's position was in 9th place. they appeared very inconsistent, especially in three different events, AS Roma was unable to produce maximum points. in 20 matches in the domestic league, Roma was only able to achieve 8 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats. It seems that the club management's expectations and targets for this season are at least to be able to finish in 4th place in the Serie A standings. However, Mourinho is having difficulty getting his team to progress smoothly. in the end, the coach was fired by the AS Roma club board. While AS Roma advanced to the final stage of this competition last season, in fact their performance did not show a good game. Even in several particularly crucial matches, AS Roma was only able to win Ugly, including, against Leverkusen.

We know that Jose Mourinho is an experienced coach and has had many achievements with several top European league clubs. However, it seems that Mourinho's glory days are over. in fact, it is not uncommon for him to always apply the pattern that is his mainstay in crucial matches. so, it was not an arbitrary decision made by the club board to replace him with another coach. IMO, with the current new coach it would be very illogical to be forced to reach the Champions League zone. Whoever the trainer is, will always need adaptation first, including trainers who have very high experience requirements. Unless AS Roma is filled with squad depth that is capable in all lines, this might be possible.

Well, in fact what you say is still only based on mere assumptions and speculation. After all, De Rossi just made his debut with AS Roma against Verona. The results were quite good, Roma played quite impressively and won the match with a score of 2-1. a good debut for a novice coach, at least for De Rossi. We'll see, their next matches, especially the crucial matches against Intermilan and Feyenoord in the Europa League.

The result of this match seems easy to predict, even though several Borussia Dortmund players were injured.  but what was unexpected, Terzic immediately played Jadon Shanco as the main starter. As usual, Donyell Malen was able to contribute to scoring goals in this match. in fact, he opened the scoring in the 12th minute and 61st minute. As for the goal created by Fullkrug in the 58th minute, it could only be through the penalty point. and in this match, Youssoufa Moukoko again completed Dortmund's victory by scoring a goal in the 90+2 minute. Thus, Dortmund won their match again and will continue to try to appear consistent in the following matches.

By the way, the option @1.76 is the ideal odds for Dortmund to play against a team of Koln's level which is actually in the relegation zone. With this defeat, it will be even more difficult for Koln to escape the red zone if Mainz, Union Berlin, wins the match. Well, it seems that the presence of new ammunition in the Dortmund squad adds strength to the wing sector which can be filled by Shanco. Even though he didn't provide an assist or score a goal, Shanco's performance in his first debut with Dortmund was quite good. However, unlike Fullkrug, he cannot be relied on to consistently score goals in every match he plays with Dortmund. in this match, Fullkrug was only able to score a goal from the penalty spot.

Talking about Leipzig, as I said in several previous posts. If Marco Rose's squad will not allow his team to be easily overthrown by Leverkusen. on the contrary, as I often said in previous posts. This match will be a challenge match for Leverkusen, to maintain its ranking while maintaining a points distance from Bayern Munich. At the same time, it becomes a burden because of the pressure to stay within points of Bayern Munich. Plus, the absence of Victor Boniface has had quite an impact on the sharpness of Leverkusen's front line. Now the match has been running for 30 minutes, Leipzig is currently leading 1-0. let's see if Leverkusen is able to comeback and win this match. or, Leipzig will break into Leverkusen's goal again.

The results of this match exceeded my expectations, who initially thought that the maximum for this match would only be 3 goals. however, Arsenal immediately stepped on the gas and scored the first goal in the 11th minute from Gabriel Magalhaes' header. the next goal was created by Leandro Trossard and two goals were created by Martinelli. Referring to match statistics, Arsenal had more possession of the ball with 61%. 21 total shots, 6 on target, 6 chances, 5 goals were created, although one goal was an own goal from the Crystal Palace goalkeeper. uniquely, Arsenal scored 3 goals through their counter-attacks. Arsenal is far superior starting from ball possession, technical and tactical.

Meanwhile, the Crystal Palace squad did not put up much resistance, not even a single threatening opportunity from a total of 12 shots. in the end, Arsenal returned to the right track with impressive results after experiencing several bad matches in the previous few matches. apart from that, previously it was doubtful that several Arsenal players would be able to play in this match. however, Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko were able to play the match very well. With this victory, Asenal is temporarily in 3rd place in the standings, shifting Aston Villa. As a supporter of the Gunners, I am happy with this victory even though the team they played against was not strong enough for Arsenal. However, this victory is a good start to continue winning in the next matches. and yeah, the Over option with 2.5 goals @1.82 is according to my prediction. In fact, it exceeded what I predicted by only 3 goals. For those who bet Over, congratulations on this win.

This match was beyond our expectations regarding South Korea who should have had the opportunity to overthrow Jordan in this match, taking the lead in the 9th minute from the penalty spot which Son executed very well. however, disaster came after Yong Woo Park made a blunder on his own goal. In the end, the position became equal. like a re-motivated team, Jordan managed to capitalize on his chance in the final minutes of the first half to make it 2-1. unexpectedly, the score turned into Jordan's advantage. entering the second half, the match was going very hard. South Korea played more aggressively to try to gain ground. there were 15 attempted shots by South Korea in the second half, 5 shots on target, 1 big chance. Luckily, in the 90+1 minute, the Korean player's shot hit defender Jordan who was unable to block properly. Then, an equalizing goal was scored and South Korea managed to escape defeat in this match.

This match, in the end, was a draw. However, Jordan is the team in first place with a lead of 6 goals and 2 conceded. while South Korea 5 goals, 3 conceded. Well, as for the team predictions, it doesn't match my expectations. However, the Over 2.75 goals @1.82 option is exactly according to my estimates and predictions
In the other match, Bahrain vs Malaysia, the score is still 0-0. This match is almost nearing the end of the match. It is very likely that there will be no goals for either team.

For now it all depends on how Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Bilbao and even Real Sociedad play match after match until this season ends. If Atletico Madrid and especially Barcelona have difficulty consistently in the second half of this season when they play match after match with unstable results. Girona's chances of finishing in the top four, even runners up in the La Liga standings, are still very likely and there is a big opportunity for Michel's squad to end this season with impressive results compared to the previous season.

Likewise with Real Madrid, if Don Carlo's team slips again for at least 2 matches. the impact will be very big on the teams competing in the top four of this competition standings. even though in fact, Madrid played an impressive match in La Liga. However, what is difficult to predict is that sometimes a team can suddenly experience a decline in performance when playing several matches. Whatever the factor, minor results or defeats will have a big impact on their position on the standings. but for now, Madrid is still consistently showing its consistency in La Liga except for falling in the Copa del Rey competition in the Madrid derby against Atletico. Tomorrow, Madrid will play a match against Almeria. on paper, the probability they have of winning is very high. however, it is possible that the result will be as surprising as when Almeria hosted the match against Girona.

We are talking about Girona again, referring to the next few matches, it looks like Michael's squad will continue with its positive trend after being held to a draw by Almeria. In the next match, Girona will host Sevilla. referring to the statistics of these two teams, as well as the performance and performance of the team. theoretically, Girona will return to its winning ways again. For other teams such as Atletico Madrid and especially Barcelona, ​​in the second half of this season there are no other words other than that they have to improve their performance in order to overtake the ranking occupied by Girona. well, there are still a lot of matches left until this mission ends. what is certain is that this competition still offers exciting matches and also in terms of competition.

Unfortunately, Dortmund's victory over Darmstadt in the last match did not answer the problems faced by Edin Terzic's squad. in the match against Darmstadt and other matches, Nicklas Fullkrug has not been able to show his consistency as a pure striker who is a goal scoring machine for his team. Fortunately, several other players such as Julian Brandt, Donyell Malen, Marco Reus, contributed enough to help score goals when the pure strikers they relied on had difficulty doing their job. Terzic should try to give more playing time to their young striker Youssoufa Maukoko, when the main players he relies on are having problems scoring goals for his team.

In the next few hours, Dortmund will play a match away to Koln. Unfortunately, Edin Terzic's squad is not in a pleasant situation with injuries to several players such as Karim Adeyemi, Julian Ryerson, Marco Reus and several other players. Fortunately, currently Dortmund has brought in several players, namely Jardon Sancho from United and Ian Maatsen, a young player from Chelsea. however, it is certain that these two players, especially Jardon Sancho, will not immediately play as main starters. ideally, he will start playing from the bench.

Talking about the Koln vs Dortmund match, Dortmund should be able to take advantage to get full points even though several of their core players are injured. Statistically and the ranking of these two teams has a gap, Koln is currently struggling to escape the red zone which is ranked 17th in the Bundesliga standings. Even though you are playing at home, it is not an easy matter to beat Dortmund in this match. referring to betting options, of course the ideal choice is to bet on Dortmund with odds @1.76. Well, let's just wait for the final result of this match.

Jordan vs South Korea.

In a few moments, these two teams will face each other to get full points. plus, fighting for first position in this group E phase. Based on theory, South Korea's probability of winning is large enough to overthrow its opponent Jordan. However, since Jordan won full points in the previous match against Malaysia, Houcine Ammouta will not allow his team to be easily defeated by their opposing team in this match.  Even though based on the FIFA rankings the two teams have different levels, Jordan will not let their opponents beat them easily. referring to the predicted line-up for these two teams, Jordan looks like he will continue to use an offensive system. while South Korea, as in the previous match, is predicted to continue using a 4-4-2 pattern. What is certain is that Son will continue to be relied on by the South Korean national team in this match.

Now that we are talking about betting options, it seems that the two teams have a gap that we can refer to based on the betting market. Jordan with odds @ 7.40, while South Korea @ 1.36. It's only natural, after all these two teams are quite far apart in ranking. On paper, South Korea has a real chance of winning this match. It's just that betting on the 1×2 option is not ideal. My estimate is that there is a choice in this bet, betting on South Korea with a handicap option of -1.25 odds @1.81. or, Over 2.75 goals @1.82.  The question is, can Jordan score a goal in this match. if so, the Over option is a more ideal choice. However, based on the team, it is clear that I favor South Korea to win this bet. well, only a few moments until the match is held.  So, let's wait for the results.

If we refer to the betting exchanges provided by bookmakers, Arsenal is far superior to its rival team Crystal Palace. so, there is no reason for Arsenal not to get points at Emirates Stadiums, the Gunners' home ground. apart from that, this match must be the opening match for Arsenal, who were previously unable to get full points in the last three matches they played in the Premier League.  We are sure Arteta knows what they should do, especially after playing 20 matches. well, starting from against Crystal Palace which will be crowned in the next few hours, Arsenal must play match after match consistently until the end of this season. referring to Arsenal's line-up, as usual, Arteta will not change his pattern to 4-3-3.

Unfortunately, it seems doubtful that several players will be able to appear in this match, such as Gabriel Jesus, Zinchenko and several other players who are still being treated for injuries. even so, the Gunners have replacement options. It's just that Arsenal's defense line is a little vulnerable if the defense players don't play solidly. however, on paper the Gunners should be able to beat Crystal Palace in this match. especially, if we refer to the odds for both. Arsenal with @1.29, while Crystal Palace with @11.00, it is clear that there is a quite obvious gap in this match. In this match, as a Gunners supporter, I obviously support my favorite team. however, based on betting options. it doesn't look like there will be many goals here. At best, this match will only produce 3 goals. however, the Over 2.5 goals option can be an alternative in betting. well, let's wait for this match to take place.

Referring to the Mirror report, Jose Mourinho reached a verbal agreement with his new club just days after AS Roma's dismissal. on the same page, Mourinho has reached a verbal agreement to become the new manager of Al Shabab, according to reports from Saudi Arabia. apart from that, Saudi Arabian journalist Turki Alghamdi, via his social media, claimed that the coach who had managed several top elite European clubs had informed Al Shabab that he was ready to immediately join the Saudi Pro League. in his upload on social media, Alghamdi said that Jose Mourinho had officially given his approval to Al Shabab management, and the agreement was now just waiting for approval from the finance committee of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Sports.

Apart from that, the same report was reported by The Sun. Jose Mourinho will take over Saudi Arabian team Al Shabab after leaving AS Roma. In fact, there are still several other newspapers that report the same thing. but as you said, I also haven't checked the social media of the famous journalist Fabrizio Romano. however, in reality, Romano does not always report news which is currently a hot topic of discussion in this discussion. Regarding what you asked about Al-Shabab vs Roma, I'm not sure if the news or rumors are true. However, if Mourinho is ultimately willing to train a Saudi club, it is not impossible that this is true news. however, to ensure the validity of this rumor or news. Let's just follow the next developments.

In fact, there are many rumors about Arsenal recruiting players in the January transfer window. starting from Toney, and several other names including Benzema's loan option. unfortunately, I cannot confirm the authenticity of the rumors regarding Arsenal, especially the player with number 9. Several newspapers such as taklSPORT, TEAMTALK, have several times reported rumors regarding Arsenal and several names, especially for the center forward they need. apart from that, Amadou Onana is still linked with Arsenal. once I say, so far none of the rumors have led to anything approaching the truth. however, I am quite sure that Arteta is actually preparing his plans and goals. What is certain is that he knows very well what he should do for his squad.

As for the competition for trophies this season, Arteta and his entire squad will work hard to realize the targets they are aiming for. who are none other than working hard to overtake the teams above their ranking. although it is not an easy matter. But like it or not, Arteta and his team will do their job as best they can. plus, I hope Arsenal bring in one newcomer which is what they are lacking. The latest rumor at the moment is that Arsenal are being urged to reject the signing of a world-class star in a big bet. As quoted by TEAMTALK, Arsenal have been told to avoid former Real Madrid captain Karim Benzema, with one expert recommending they pursue the Premier League star instead. That's why former Tottenham Hotspur and England striker Darren Bent believes Mikel Arteta should stick to his initial plan to bring in Ivan Toney. As a Gunners supporter, I only hope that Arteta is serious about bringing in an established, genuine player who can be relied on as a goal scorer for Arsenal.

Still from Romano's report on January 19, Al Hilal has not terminated Neymar's contract. the report was denied by sources as fake news. Al Hilal will only make room in the squad list for Renan Lodi as a foreign substitute because Neymar is injured and will not play again this season. then, he will return to the squad. Let's interpret together whether Al Hilal will terminate the contract with Neymar. or, he will return next season. The reason is, Neymar is predicted to be absent throughout this competition until the end of the season. Therefore, Al Hilal does not want to lose slot 1 of the foreign players they can bring in. then, the idea was to write him off temporarily just for this season. So, Al Hilal can bring in another foreign player, namely Renan Lodi.

If I try to examine the report from Romano, it seems that Al Hilal is reluctant to lose Neymar, at least for now. but the decision could change next summer. What is certain is that Al Hilal's current goal is none other than the Saudi Pro League trophy. that's what it means, they didn't waste the opportunity to deepen their defense line. Even though Al Hilal is currently at the top of the standings, they are not yet satisfied with what they have achieved so far. For this reason, Al Hilal is reluctant to relax its squad and is actually deepening its team.
As for Neymar's injury proneness, he is scheduled to rejoin next summer. However, there is no guarantee that the player will not be injured again. IMO, if Neymar only focused on the Saudi Pro League competition. He should be a little more relaxed with a less busy schedule and able to maintain his performance until the season ends. But we'll see what decision the club will take on Neymar. but what is clear is that their current goal is none other than to win the Saudi Pro League trophy.

IMO, in the end Nice will experience a decline even in their ranking in the top four of the Ligue 1 standings. For me, it is only a matter of time before AS Monaco overtakes the ranking occupied by Nice. The only thing that has made Nice tough so far is because they have a defense that is disciplined enough and solid enough when playing match after match. But now, it is starting to look shaky, having suffered 3 defeats in 18 matches. Although in terms of goals conceded, Nice had the fewest with 11 goals against them. However, what is unique is that Nice is dominated by very young coaches. That's why I appreciate the Nice squad being able to stay in the top four of the Ligue 1 standings so far.

Talking about Brest, it's not much different from Nice at the moment. However, what should be appreciated is that they have experienced significant changes this season. Last season, Brest finished in 14th place. This season, half of the Ligue 1 season, Brest can be ranked 3rd in the standings. well, from my point of view, what is happening is that the teams that are usually ranked in the top four of Ligue 1 are currently being hit by poor performance, giving other teams an opportunity. yeah, as we saw with Nice and Brest.

But let's see, this competition still has a lot of matches left. Can AS Monaco, Lille and Marseille improve their performance and overtake the rankings occupied by Nice and Brest. well, we will find out after the teams we mentioned in this post start match after match until the end of this season.
As you said for investors who want to buy one of the teams competing in this league, it seems that so far there is no sign that this will happen.

What is certain is that De Rossi will do his job and start managing AS Roma with the abilities he has. Let's just give him a chance first, even though it could be said that the coach doesn't have much experience. but we also need to remember, every great coach started his career starting from the bottom. currently, it is an opportunity for De Rosi to show his abilities. this week, AS Roma will host Verona's match and also De Rossi's debut with AS Roma. Let's see how he and his team go through the match. Referring to the temporary line-up predictions, the pattern that De Rossi will implement is likely to make Roma experience differences and changes in pattern from the coach before him.

Regarding how he collaborates with his team, we'll see whether De Rossi needs time or if he can adjust what he implements without taking a long time. In fact, before De Rossi became head coach of AS Roma, I'm sure he realized that what he was going to do was not an easy matter. but because De Rossi was willing to accept this job and agreed to become head coach of AS Roma. So like it or not, he has to do his best. especially in the game against Feyenoord. Also, in the Domestic League match when they hosted Inter Milan ahead of the Europa League playoff round. As for Jose Mourinho, now he no longer has any connection with the team from the Italian capital. So, let's find out before De Rossi plays match after match with his new squad in either Serie A or the Europa League.

But once again I have to say, based on the betting exchange, Leipzig is slightly favored even though the odds are very slim. Leizpig with odds @2.43, while Leverkusen with @2.65. which means, this match will offer an exciting fight. in fact, these two teams have a chance to beat each other, both Leipzig as the home team, as well as Leverkusen who play their away match. IMO, this match will be a challenge for Xavi Alonso's squad who must get full points to maintain their ranking at the top of the Bundesliga standings. at the same time, it becomes a burden for them when they visit the Res Bul Arena. because, Xabi Alonson must maintain the performance of his quad squad even though Victor Boniface is absent from the match between these two teams. even though Leverkusen is in its best performance, that doesn't mean Leverkusen will easily overthrow Marco Rose's squad like in the first meeting. Moreover, this match was held at the Red Bul Arena, the home of RB Leipzig. To be honest, I don't want to speculate or make predictions regarding this match. which means, I still need some additional information. however, for temporary predictions I favor Leipzig in the meeting between these two teams. To confirm the results of my analysis, I waited before this match was held. so, let's wait.

Posted previously, I stated that this Madrid derby match would present a match with hot tension. because for these two teams, there is a nuance to their prestige as city rivals. I also said that Atletico Madrid had a chance to overthrow Madrid in the Copa Del Rey meeting. and it was proven, even though the match continued into extra time. however, I previously doubted that this match would end in the normal 90 minutes. and yeah, as I expected, the match lasted quite a bit and there were a lot of goals in this match until the minute of extra time. Well, what I said is not just a guess. At least, I tried to do research and analyze how this match will go and what the results will be. This prediction is supported by all the information I got, also regarding the systems and patterns of the two teams.

It is important to note, Real Madrid suffered their only defeat in La Liga by Atletico Madrid with a score of 3-1. Armed with this match, Simeone tried to maximize his squad and it proved so. They took the lead in the first half, until Real Madrid equalized to 2-2 in normal time. Apart from that, the odds given by the bookie are only a small point difference. but in fact, those who choose to bet on these two teams lose. because the match ended in a draw in normal time. This scenario is included in my predictions plus ATM's chance to beat Real Madrid. then the Over option is the most ideal choice. By the way, a strong team, even one that is currently in a positive trend. does not guarantee that they will always win the match. and it was proven, Dioge Simeone's squad was again able to win the prestigious duel between city rivals in the Copa del Rey competition.

Messi left as a free agent, if I'm not mistaken, so did Ramos. they let go of Neymar, because PSG saw an opportunity to profit from Al Hilal. moreover, Neymar is very prone to injury. currently PSG only has Mbappe, there is no choice for PSG to change their philosophy. from mega star projects, now it is dominated by young players. PSG actually doesn't recruit mediocre players, Dembelle is Barcelona's mainstay player. Goncalo Ramos is a young talent, Kolo Muani has talent that can be developed. plus, the current PSG coach is quite accomplished, at least he won the treble winner if I'm not mistaken with Barcelona in his first season. Apart from that, in the second season Enrique won two wins with Barcelona. at least, he was a pretty good coach. the reason is, not all coaches are able to handle a top team filled with many stars. there are egos among the players, there is also competition, but Enrique is able to handle it well, especially in the dressing room.

With PSG, he did the same thing. now, disputes between players can no longer be heard despite the departure of Messi and Neymar. Just look, how Enrique brings PSG better than Galtier without Messi, Neymar, Ramos and several other players. he proved his worth, that he is a worthy coach. in this season, I'm sure that Enrique is fully aware that his team is not strong enough to compete with other top European teams. But at least, he and his squad will always try to work as hard as possible. In the next season, if Enriue is still trusted as PSG coach, maybe he will be given full support to bring in the players he wants.  Apart from that, Enrique's current task is to build his team so that it becomes more established and brings out the talent and potential of its players. that means, he is building the team's mentality to achieve what both the coach and the club want.
