Rishab Panth may not be able to play cricket for the next 2 years.

This important update was provided by Sourav Ganguly who is the director of cricket for Delhi Daredevils. A big blow for Indian cricket team and DD. He is a rising star of Indian cricket but a gap of 2 years will completely destroy his career. There are many contenders who are ready to claim his position. All this happened because of his reckless driving. The only positive part about that accident was that he did not die on that day.

@pakhitheboss this is terrible news for all his fans and all Indian’s, because he was an incredible performer whenever he played for the Indian team and DD in the IPL. Furthermore I was in awe of his batting and I’m going to really miss him, and yes he’ll definitely be replaced permanently now and I doubt that he’ll ever play for team India again.

And their upcoming opponent is Real Betis and if we see from composition squad and recent performance obviously Manchester United is more better so if they can managed their consistency i think beat Betis isn't big problem for them

Betis' performance this season can also be said to be average. in a not-so-good sense. are now in the top 5 of La Liga trying to dislodge Atletico in 4th place.
Betis' meeting with United will be quite exciting. The top 16 will be a concern because Ten Hag is currently changing their squad to be very scary for opposing teams.
but Ten Hag must pay attention to the performance of his team. not only in the Europa League, United still has matches in the FA Cup. Ten Hag will have to focus on a few matches. however, the top 16 of the Europa League is also important for Ten Hag's career, whose performance was quite doubtful at the start of the season.

@bering Manchester United player’s confidence level is at an all time high after winning their first trophy of the season, and I won’t be surprised if they thrash Betis during their match. Furthermore for me they’re now the favourites, and I strongly believe that they’ll win the Europa League in style and score lots of goals on their way to lift the trophy.

In addition to all this, when we look at the matchup, we see a Borussia Dortmund having a great season following Bayern Munich very closely in the BundesLiga. In the first match, they did not give any clear goal chances to Chelsea. Honestly, Chelsea have been struggling to score and find scoring positions this season, but Borussia Dortmund defended really well in the first game. If they play with the same seriousness in the second match, they may go to the next round without conceding a goal.

Dortmund is on good days and they are racing in their league for the first position in the table especially recently if we check the mathes they were playing pretty well against any team while Chelsea is not in a good situation at all even fans are waiting to see their coach getting fired soon because of the performance of him during this season so we don't expect a lot from Chelsea.
Dortmund are in high confidence after picking up 7 consecutive wins in the Bundesliga and managing to match the points tally amassed by Bayern Munich. Dortmund also has the capital to win when away to Chelsea in the second leg, the victory in the first leg gave Dortmund more confidence when playing at Stamford bridge.
My prediction is that Chelsea will fall after the match in the second leg, Chelsea inconsistent appearance is very difficult to find victory with a difference of 2 goals. Chelsea who have never tasted victory in the last five matches in the Premier League have not been able to provide competition for a team like Dortmund, especially since they have just been beaten by Tottenham in their last game.

@trendcoin if Potter’s Chelsea fails to knock Dortmund out then he’ll be immediately be sacked, and it’ll be interesting to see who decides to come to Chelsea next. Lastly coming to this match I agree with you’ll that Dortmund is in a better position to knock out Chelsea, hence wagering on Chelsea doesn’t make any sense.

RESULT:

Manchester United 2-0 Newcastle United

Manchester United won the game with two first half goals. What a turnaround from the team that lost to both Brighton and Brentford as the beginning of the season. They are still in the FA Cup and Europa League as well as chasing for the Premier League.

As for Newcastle, there are many positives to take because the ideas of the new manager will take time to implement and they are clearly in need of strengthening their squad. If they manage to finish the season in the top four it will be a massive achievement.



@JollyGood I vividly remember that time as Ten Hag was written off by all, but he said he doesn’t care and he’ll work tirelessly for the club and in the end results are showing that he was the right man for the job. Furthermore Newcastle have improved a lot this season, and for me even if they finish in top 6 it’s a massive statement of intent from them because they’ll be considered as genuine title contenders next season.

I'm just testing the Ninja Investor feature of blackjack.fun to familiarize myself with how the feature works in action. Since the funds come only from my hot wallet the amount isn't big enough to generate a significant chunk of monthly profit. For the meantime, I'll let the money sit there and maybe add some funds in the future, and hold it maybe for like a year or so, hopefully.
The investment feature of blackjack.fun is pretty good enough. They share the percentage of APY profit in each hour. I had invested a little amount in the November month and I'm getting profit for my invested amount every hour since then. There is only 20 BTC maximum cap limit for the investment feature. I want to invest a little more amount before it reaches the maximum cap limit.

@Mahdirakib can one deposit via segwit btc and what’s the fees for withdrawals, and what kind of ROI are you seeing over your deposits?

At the start of Cristiano Ronaldo's debut at Al-Nassr, we could still see the Al-nassr players at that time still couldn't adjust to Cristiano Ronaldo's game. and vice versa Cristiano Ronaldo has not been able to adapt to his initial debut.
But in the last few matches we have seen that Al-nassr players and also Cristiano Ronaldo have been able to adjust to each other and have seen an increasingly harmonious pattern of play. Al-nassr's current baits and attack patterns are very good. and it looks like it will continue to increase. and Cristiano Ronaldo seems genuinely respected by the Al-Nassr players. And make Cristiano Ronaldo even more comfortable there.
His team-mates connect with Ronaldo better and Ronaldo himself has successfully adapted to the league and his new team-mates. In the latest match, Ronaldo not only scored a hattrick but he also made some good passes to his team-mates. He does feel very happy in Al Nassr now as we can understand with a big player like Ronaldo, scoring goals is his ambition and happiness.

With this scoring rate, Ronaldo will possibly win the Best scorer award in Saudi league even he just joined it in a second half of season.

Quote
and you're right the Saudi Pro League seems to be increasingly in the spotlight and I think there will be more big players coming to this league in the future.
Ronaldo is very famous and he has big traffics on social media and his appearance in Saudi League contributes to make this league more exciting and attractive. Before his appearance, that league is nothing on global social media but now as you said, it takes spotlights on media.

@OcTradism I am really happy for Ronaldo, because he’s been criticised heavily especially during the 2022 - 2023 season and now he’s silencing his critics in style. Furthermore I’m pretty sure that next season he’ll set an unbeatable record by scoring tons of goals, and hopefully then he can retire on a high by winning the league title next season.

It took me around 40 minutes, cumulatively. I played several times, 10 minutes each time. But sometimes, it takes less than 5 minutes to hit the desired multiplier. Like with this one in particular:



It took me less than 20 spins to hit! Can you imagine? You can. You play slots yourself. I know. Smiley

Damn, you get a fantastic multiplier bro unfortunately this game is not included in the challenge list right?

Actually, it was for a challenge back then when I hit it. I took the 6th place



and won $25 with it, but since it was multiplied by 2(+100%), in reality I got $50



So that hit earned me more than $250 in total. Smiley

I haven't gotten something good in this game
even always ends in a loss, I won't try this game if my bankroll is low because this game usually sucks my balance faster except being one of the lucky ones like you
May I know how much your initial balance when playing this game?

My initial balance was around $50 before I started playing The Bowery Boys slot.

@Betwrong which spin slot did you win on, because whenever I tried to play spin slots I always ended up losing and not that I’m complaining but I want to know which one it is. Furthermore my best day was to get some free spins, but till date I haven’t won anything big while playing the spin slots there but now I’m tempted to try it again after seeing your results.

Its great that FreeBitco.in offering betting options for the Oscars! It's always exciting to make predictions and root for my favorite films and actors on the biggest night in cinema. I'm particularly interested in the Best Picture category this year, as the competition is tough and each nominee has their own unique qualities. I truly love EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE but All Quiet on the Western Front also deserve a spot.
You can bet right away because you still have a chance to benefit from the Time Weight Multiplier, for Best Actor nominee Austin Butler - Elvis and Brendan Fraser - The Whale is pretty tight competition and the other three actors haven't had much to bet on them, but I don't really follow about the Oscars so I don't really understand which ones are the favorites so that have a high chance to be the best later.

@Strongkored you can always read about Oscar guide’s and then go on to make your predictions, because normally many people will give their opinions about Oscar winners hence with proper research it can become really easy to predict. Also as always it’s important to factor in the multiplier, because if you wager too late then you won’t get much from your bets hence try to make your bets as quickly as you can.

@sportsbet.io I liked the part can’t lie to you’ll haha, and honestly didn’t realise she was business savvy so that’s some new information for most of us.

Fulham vs Wolves tonight at 8pm UK time as we kick off the weekends PL games. I think it’ll be a low scoring affair, maybe under 2.5 goals bet makes sense?
It makes perfect sense when you know that best Fulham striker Mitrovic is injured, but usually they have one of the best statistic for over 2.5 goals.
They are biggest positive surprise for this season in Premier League, after Newcastle United.

Anybody got any ideas what they’ll be betting on this weekend
I have few ideas in mind for EFL Championship maybe Middlesbrough and few others, but there are good bets in MMA this weekend.

@LFC_Bitcoin the match ended in a draw and it was clear that Fulham missed Mitrovic’s presence, but despite the draw Fulham are doing very well as they’re yet sitting 6th in the league table.

Rennes vs Shakhtar Donetsk is in to extra-time and the score is 1-0 on the night and 2-2 on aggregate.

After going in at half-time 0-1, Manchester United scored 3 second half goals to knock Barcelona out of the Europa League. Ajax, Monaco and Roma are out.



@JollyGood Manchester United won once again due to Erik ten Hag tactics and what an impact Anthony had, because I remember that he was being criticised a lot for his performances recently. However Rashford seems to be injured which is not a good sign for the club, and if he suffers any long term injury then Manchester United will find it difficult to win the Europa league.
931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 24, 2023, 06:47:37 AM
Tottenham and Chelsea match ahead. Chelsea is expected to be more ahead in the match. Chelsea are in great form. However, Tottenham are trying hard to take themselves to the top of the points table.
Did you claim Chelsea is in great form? Are you kidding me, dude?    Cheesy
Chelsea never won in the last 4 matches, they got 3 draws and 1 loss. No one expects Chelsea to get points in Tottenham home.
Tottenham is surely the favorite team to win the next match, they will play at home and they have better stats. In the last 4 matches, Tottenham won 3 matches, got 1 loss. It is much better than Chelsea stats, no doubt that Tottenham is likely to get full points. Another reason that Tottenham will try hard to maintain their position in UCL zone, they won't miss 3 points at home to widen the distance with Newcastle points.



@kawetsriyanto totally agree with you that Chelsea’s form is bad these day’s, and it’ll take a miracle for them to beat Tottenham. Furthermore a heavy defeat against Tottenham could spell the end for Potter, and in game’s like these the player’s usually fight to save their head coach’s job and now it’s up to Chelsea player’s to prove they want Potter to continue by winning this match but I won’t be surprised if Chelsea loses this match.
932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 24, 2023, 03:22:16 AM
I will not comment too much on the players currently owned by Chelsea because indeed they have spent a lot of money to get them, it should be proven by their good play on the field. If Graham Potter really wants to build Chelsea from the ground up then he should have made good progress because I think that was enough time for him when he first stepped foot at Chelsea. If not doing this season, at least they have a clear and structured process of what he's going to do next season.

Their defence is not a strong one in my opinion. They need to make a good signing in defence and by good I mean someone who has been a crucial player of the previous team and not a young potential one. They need someone strong who can play along with Thiago Silva sharing defensive duties. They still can get on track but it will take time. I can see them getting creative again which is good. I think slowly they will get back on track in a month.

We’ve expected changes the first few weeks Graham Potter was signed as the coach of Chelsea but till date we haven’t seen a significant change or improvement in the play of the whole team. The January transfer window came and was allowed to sign more players, and we are yet to still see the significant impact of the new signings. How much longer can the team wait to see changes, he had better improve or he might face the same fate as Thomas Tuchel soon.
The case of Chelsea is different, there is a clear anxiety on the part of all the fans to know what can happen to the team, they have some formidable players, but they don't know how to put them to play so that they have favorable results, good ones are already needed results, I don't know how Graham will do, but there is already some gossip that he could be replaced, personally I would not want it to be like that, I would like the team to be able to raise its head under Graham's leadership, I hope he can move the team forward, he has All the available material has a well activated Enzo and a Joao Félix eager to be the best.

Osimhen should think twice before making any offer,  he had been best player for Napoli over the years and he's really in top form for the club, I don't think Napoli management will be ready to take any offer from any club for Osimhen. Manchester United needs a top striker like Osimhen in the club, and they're ready to bid any amount to get him. To me it's time for Osimhen to play for top elite club like Manchester United to promote himself

MU is willing to buy him from napoli but the problem is in the napoli since osimhen is still under contract with napoli. Napoli is a party who can sell him to another club even though MU is willing to pay any amount for him but will napoli try to let him go after a perfect season with him in serie a? this is a big question that is very difficult to answer. napoli's president has been even making clarification so many times about that. I meant we must also aware about the fact that if there was also another player in napoli targeted by so many team.

Napoli's president is still wanna defending osimhen from another club. I expect osimhen to leave next year.
Osimhen is a good striker; let's hope Man United can get him for a good price. But, it appears that it won't happen until the contract expires or the president of Napoli decides whether to proceed this transfer. As it stand now, the president of Napoli currently wants to keep this team. Osimhen is having a fantastic season, hence not wondering that clubs are interested in him. It also pains me to see that Osimhen isn't playing for top elite club like Manchester United to advance his career. I mean Man United deal will fit him best. Anything could happen at any time, so let's see what happens. 

Well, Osimhen is a striker who, in my opinion, would be much better at Napoli, for now they are on an excellent run and they haven't lost, that's great, if he goes to Man United it might be good for him, but Rasford is there and seeing how Ten Hag acts I would think about it, I think he could aspire to a better team, if Chelsea ask for it, which if they need good forwards I would go to Chelsea, but going to Man United I would consider, for that reason reason otherwise I would go there, Napoli is the best option.

WHAT HAPPENED? Ferdinand believes the Nigerian's age and potential resale value make him a far more attractive proposition for United than someone like Tottenham talisman Kane. Erik ten Hag's side are almost certain to dip into the transfer marker this summer for a centre forward, with Osimhen, 24, and Kane, 29, both being mooted as key targets.

@LUCKMCFLY initially I thought that Potter needed some time, but then Chelsea suddenly invested too much too soon and he’s yet struggled which show’s that he’s not the correct person for the job and if Chelsea lose one or two more games then he’ll probably be sacked. Furthermore both the player’s targeted by Manchester United are difficult to get, as Tottenham and Napoli both won’t sell and even if they do agree to sell then it’ll be no less than $100 million and I’m not sure if the club will spend that much just to acquire any one of them.
933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 23, 2023, 10:10:24 AM
In Week 22 of the Bundesliga, we will be presented with a match that will really determine the position of the top 3 teams. Yes, this week we will see Baayern Munich host Union Berlin at the Allianz Arena. This match is very crucial for both teams because whoever wins from these two teams will get a huge advantage in the Bundesliga standings. In their last 5 meetings, Bayern Munich won 2 times and the other 3 ended in a draw. There is hope for Union Berlin to improve their record against Bayern Munich in this match.
The winner from the derby of bayern against berlin will be making the gaps for the club who loses in the match. Im sure that if berlin was trying to be more careful with bayern despite the fact that bayern was getting bad achievements in the last matches of bundesliga but bayern may come back stronger against berlin. Bayern is also having very good head to head against union berlin. I guess that if berlin shall go to the fully defensive strategy to make sure.

Bookies put bayern as the most favorite club in the upcoming match against berlin.



It can be seen how small bayern's odd. The performance from berlin is not so bad at all but i think that people gonna take safe bet rather than union berlin. berlin's odd is very big.



This match is quite risky to bet on, if we look at the previous matches, Bayern Munich lost while Union Berlin only got a draw. But Upamecano's absence due to a red card against Gladbach will certainly be a gap in Bayern Munich's defense and Union Berlin players can put it to good use to score goals. But what is certain is that this match could end in a draw considering that both of them have the same goal to secure a place at the top of the standings.

I had a look at the odds and you almost get a 5.5 for a draw and a 3.2 for X/2 Union Berlin. What makes me wonder is that the bookies give odds to Union Berlin winning as if they were Mainz 05. How are the bookies so convinced that Bayern is going to make it? I mean I also think that Bayern will win this game as this very typical for them to win the important ones, but still I feel the odds are a bit off here. What do you think? Are odds of over 9 worth a little bet on Union Berlin? At the same time a win for Bayern only gives you a little bit more than 1.3. That is just too low.
I would definitely choose to bet on Union Berlin at 8.60 odds and this seems like an understated advantage for most people. There are other options such as betting over 2 goals or 2.5 goals because it is certain that this match will result in mutual goals. But then again, the Union Berlin odds are really exaggerated and for sure it makes one feel a bit confused.

@mv1986 I believe that the odds for Berlin are too good, and one should consider wagering a small amount on them because if they win then one will win quiet a big amount without risking too much. Furthermore Bayern hasn’t been in top form this season, hence there’s a chance that they can be defeated by Berlin so in my personal opinion wagering on Bayern doesn’t makes much sense as the odds are too low.

Quote from: ILuckyGuyI
Things are quite problematic for Real Madrid in the La Liga right now. The 8-point difference is quite big to close up against a very consistent Barcelona I mean.

Real Madrid just don't have any other choice than continuing to win as many games as possible for a long time as of now. Because Barcelona literally don't lose any points here. They still win even the games in which they have big difficulties in showing their usual performance. The game against Villarreal was a great example for this surely. Real Madrid are handling the Champions League incredibly on one hand indeed. But I believe their main concentration should be on the La Liga still - at least unless the point difference gets bigger than this.

I don't think, Barcelona will allow anything that will make them to drop down from first position in the la Liga league competition table than to do what will make them to remain in unity to maintain the position till the end of the tournament. Despite, Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 2-5 in the champion league doesn't mean they can win la Liga league title because this season is about to work for the favour of Barcelona in a way people will be surprise in their celebration soon. Real Madrid can struggle to win other titles but it will be difficult for them to win the la Liga league title because Barcelona will never allow such miracle to happen to Real Madrid.

@Sebas.tian the only way Real Madrid can win the league title now is if La Liga deducts Barcelona points, as there were rumours of Barcelona being investigated once again. Furthermore I too don’t expect Barcelona to drop their lead, but Real Madrid should definitely keep on trying and hope that Barcelona drop some points soon.
935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 23, 2023, 04:21:38 AM
I believe Napoli will get a win against Empoli, so far, Napoli's strength has increased and it has won five consecutive games, making Napoli even more confident about beating Empoli. The point gap between first and second place is 15 points, so there is no team trying to win first place, which is why the announcement of the Serie A victory is going to be accelerated.

Napoli is most perfect team in serie a right now. I would not be surprised to see that napoli will be winning against empoli. Napoli's stake looks very good with 1.46

Napoli can win easily against empoli. Napoli was also getting a good result against frankfurt in UCL. that was far stronger compared with empoli. Empoli is now at the middle position of current standing. I think that napoli will take full points even though napoli will be winning with small goals against it

it looks like Napoli will indeed extend its positive trend in the match against Empoli. currently with 23 matches that have been done by Napoli only 1 match defeat. against Empoli shouldn't be difficult, or maybe the worst result would be a draw. of course did not expect this result, even if it is safe, with Napoli's current performance, there is no reason not to get 3 points and continue to lead the standings.

@rozak Napoli is in terrific form and hence I don’t expect them to draw, and I believe that they’ll try and collect maximum points from the remaining matches and probably create some new records for themselves too. Lastly I’m surprised that in a league like the Serie A, Napoli is able to lead by such a huge margin which shows how much ahead they’re of their competitors.

This weekend we have interesting match between Marseille vs PSG and based on the odds i can see PSG has slightly the favourite than Marseille but no wonder about that because PSG has won 3 times in the last 5 matches against Marseille but several weeks ago Marseille has successfully to beat PSG at their home ground on France Cup and maybe this result makes Marseille had more motivation to beat PSG again two times in a row

Regarding team conditions i can see PSG has tight schedule because they still play on champion league against Bayern Munich i am sure PSG will give high priority for that match because champion league trophy is their main target for each season and i will assume PSG will do some rotations for the match against Marseille and if it's true i think there is a chance for Marseille to win this game
After nearly settling for a draw with LOSC, I am beginning to doubt the abilities of PSG. LOSC is a good team but it is not on the same level as the Champions League opponents of PSG. PSG will have a slight advantage over Marseille but not be shocking in the event of a draw or another Marseille repeat. The last chance PSG has in the Champions League is the focus right now. Even having injured players of its own, Bayern Munich prevailed at Parc des Princes. In their second leg at Allianz Arena, Sadio Mane might make a comeback this time.

@bering PSG seems to have lost their way in recent matches, and if they don’t sort their issues out quickly then they’ll end up losing this fixture too and it’s high time that they start winning again. Lastly I expect them to rebound in this fixture, but if they yet fail then PSG board will probably sound out Tuchel to come back and become their new head coach.

Man these Australian and English Women's teams are strong as hell.

They are just bossing around and belting every single team in this tournament. Fair to say they both will play in the Finals unless India wins against the Aussies in the semis.

Both England and Australia had full fledged franchise T20 leagues for women, when boards such as the BCCI were completely ignoring the women's game. And that is being reflected in the world cup as well. BCCI initially tried delaying tactics, by organizing a few meaningless exhibition matches in between the men's IPL. They decided to go for the WPL only after Rameez Raja announced the launch of WPSL. But it will take some time for the Indian women to catch up with the Poms and the Aussies. And the quality of women's domestic cricket in India remains appalling.

Women cricket is dominated by England, Australia, and New Zealand only. Every other country, including India, is no match against these 3 big teams. I think WIPL will do same impact what men IPL has done to Indian cricket team. These leagues are just to generate revenue and have very little for betterment of cricket. Ramiz Raja game is over and so is WPSL. South Asia is male dominated society and not much attention is given to women sports.
This highlighted part is a wrong assumption. England and Australia are the strongest sides, especially the Aussies are almost unbeatable. After that India ranks 3 and they performed quite well since 2017 wc, they were finalists. New Zealand and South Africa are better in terms of fitness level but they are behind in pecking order.


I guess Australia + India + England + South Africa are looking favorites to play in the semis.

The first 3 are obvious choices, Kiwis could've been 4th choice but SA is playing at home so I'll put them slightly ahead in the competition (they lost the first match but still).

If not, then surely we are up for some upsets.


@JSRAW I’m not surprised to see Aussies and England woman dominate this cup, but team India has done well to reach the semis but now they face the ultimate test when they play against Australia and I have a feeling that they won’t win hence I don’t expect any miracle from them. Furthermore I expect Australia to beat England in the finals, and lastly there’s no doubt in my mind that this will be an entertaining match as both the team’s are equally strong.

I really don't know why the Sportsbooks want to allow betting on these matches, where there is no oversight from the ICC or the law enforcement authorities. Cricket already has a match fixing problem and these little known leagues make it much worse than it should actually be. Here is one of the recent examples:

https://emergingcricket.com/news/limassol-gladiators-excluded-from-european-cricket-series-cyprus-in-match-fixing-probe/

The European Cricket Network (ECN) claims to have formed an anti-corruption unit to look in to the match fixing allegations, but I am noticing very little improvement. Irrespective of whether there is improvement or not, I would urge everyone to stay out from making bets on these matches. BTW, check this article as well:

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/two-arrested-as-police-bust-cricket-betting-ring/articleshow/76882916.cms?from=mdr
Sportsbooks don't always research markets thoroughly before adding them leading to losses for them after which they quickly terminate those markets. This logic applies to literally every sport out there.

Also, some of these boards themselves are involved in corruption scandals. Match-fixing will never completely go away, but it is decreasing slowly over time in all sports.

@Sithara007 one reason I can cite is demand from their existing user base, because if they fail to add these wagering opportunities then there’s a high chance that they could lose their user base to other sports book who provide these kind of wagering opportunities. Furthermore in case you’ll see any popular sportsbook here having these kind of suspicious matches listed on their site, then try and reach out to the owner here as they can swiftly remove these matches from their sites.

Well, here Barcelona shows up its bad moment because of the injuries, it's something sad, because I really would like them to be 100% with everything, so who wins or loses is something decisive for the team, then it would be good that They were with all their arsenal, so that later they will not generate more excuses than because they were not with the owner or with the complete team, it is always good to have that type of evidence when things do not go well in a team, in fact the same Fans are the first to say that the team lost because they were not with their best players but with the bench, I say this because they have told me so.

Barcelona confirm injury blow before huge Europa League clash with Man Utd

[snip]

Quote
Barcelona have confirmed midfielder Sergio Busquets has suffered ankle ligament damage and is a major doubt to face Manchester United in the Europa League.

The veteran midfielder limped out of Sunday’s La Liga victory over Sevilla after just 10 minutes at the Camp Nou. The extent of his injury has now been confirmed as he is set to miss several weeks of first-team action for the Blaugrana.

Barca boss Xavi is already at odds with the club’s plans for replacing Busquets, who is out of contract in June, at the end of the campaign. Barca president Joan Laporta is pushing for the club to sign Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves, as the club supremo shares a close relationship with his agent Jorge Mendes

Did not expect that Sergio Bosquest would be sidelined for several weeks due to an ankle injury and this was pretty bad news for Barcelona. There is only one week left for the match against Manchester United in the Europa League playoffs to start. Something unexpected happened, but it looks like the fans will continue to support Barcelona, considering that the first leg will take place at Camp Nou. At least they still have strong ambitions to win this match even though it's a bit difficult because their opponent Manchester United is also in good form lately.

The impact will not be too big, Frenkie de Jong is likely to play as a central midfielder to replace Sergio Busquets, while Gavi has the potential to appear to reduce the impact of Busquets' absence in the Europa League opener against Manchester United.

Basically, Barcelona is quite ready with the potential midfield options they have this season. The absence of Sergio Busquets will not cause any deep concern for the team because Barcelona has prepared everything carefully before this
This is something that can be interpreted in various ways, first of all for lifelong Barcelona fans, they know that Busquets is a key player to win and it gives him more stability and he can have or exert more pressure in the game, Xavi They have a lot of players that they bought a long time ago, they have to use them because otherwise they would run out of options to face the greats, they also have Real Madrid breathing close and Man United.

But what I believe is that BARCELONA has fought so hard, I don't think they are going to let themselves win now in these games that are so crucial, Barcelona is in the Europa League for the second time in a row, the fans deserve to be there at UCL.


The two teams are still equally good lately and it will still be very difficult to determine which team opportunities will meet the requirements to advance to the next round. Because this time Barcelona will be the guest team at Old Trafford and in the second leg of course the enthusiasm and motivation of Manchester United to win at home is also very large so that the match will still be fierce like the first leg and can even be more exciting than the first leg.

From the first leg, both teams proved they on same par even though i felt Manchester United should have won that game easily due to the number of goal scoring chances they created. Overall United dominated Barca in the camp noun, something that isn’t easy to do this days. Barcelona will be coming to Old Trafford as underdogs in my opinion because United has never lost in the last 17 games played there in all competitions so it is like a new fortress to The Red Devils. Barcelona will also be without there golden boys Gavi and Pedri with the former missing out due to suspension as a result of yellow cards accumulated, the later left the game injured and will sit it out too. As we saw last week United actually dominated the midfield which destabilized the Barca team and with this two out and United welcoming back some of there players back then I predict them going further to the round of 16

I really don't know what to think about this match, because both teams can win, according to what I saw in the match when they played it at the Camp Nou I saw Man United much better, they made a lot of attacks and made Barcelona run faster so they could scoring the equalizing goal, United almost won and at Barcelona's home, it would have been a very strong blow for Xavi and his team.

Now with everything he has experienced in Barcelona, it is likely that Xavi will go with a different attitude against Manchester, Manchester has a slight advantage over Barcelona because they are at home, but even so, Xavi has to change his strategy, there is no more chance It's win or win, that's why this match will be very, very good.


@LUCKMCFLY this injury is definitely a cause for concern for Xavi, but Barcelona is yet a strong team and I’m sure that they’ll yet manage to put up a decent performance even in the absence of Busquets. Furthermore Manchester United will have the home advantage, and I hope that the fan’s can inspire them to defeat Barcelona and move on to the next round.

I wouldnt say Sinner was unstable, he was actually quite stable in his mentality as was
Medvedev actually.
The match for me was actually closer than the second and third sets suggest, Sinner
in the end had far too many unforced errors which I am putting down to the long rallies,
medvedev is comfortable enough hitting baseline exchanges, sinner was too but
they took their toll on him in the end.
Great match all the same, I didnt bet on either.
It might be the experience that plays into the hands of Medvedev when it comes to three set games with long rallies, but I just saw that Sinner won his first tournaments at age 19 onwards. He is not that different from Medvedev and also played a couple of great tournaments already. He seems as if he has more in the tank and is still developing a a player. I just remember this quarter final against Djokovic in Wimbledon, which was a five set game and Sinner played like a maniac in first two sets but then lost it big time in the third/fourth/fifth. Djokovic is probably not the best example as he frequently turns around a 0:2 in sets, but still that was so high quality tennis that I thought if he can keep that level for an entire game, he could probably be a no.1 player one day.

Before this match, this final, Medvedev beat Sinner four times. And was not beaten even once. So of course the advantage was with Medvedev. It was only the form that gave Sinner a chance. Sinner was unbeaten for seven matches straight. But that was not enough to give him a win against Medvedev in the final.

Sinner actually had the first set. At that time I thought it was going to be a win for him. But it was a good comeback by Medvedev. He did not give any chance to his opponent in the next two sets.

The fact that Medvedev beat Sinner four times before this final doesn't really say that much as Sinner is so young. At some point the turnaround can happen when a player has the potential for it. I could just compare this to Djokovic vs. Federer head to head. Guess what, Djokovic started with four losses against Federer and then slowly turned the statistics around. Another weird example is the final phase for Federer against Nadal, which ended with a 7-1 winning streak for Federer and nobody expected that.

So yes, the statistics are an indicator. I am not saying they are meaningless. But Sinner will have his winning game against Medvedev soon. It is not like Medvedev always beats him with such an ease that we can say Sinner will never have a chance.

@mv1986 I don’t think the earlier defeats mattered to Sinner, because he did won the first set which showed he was determined to beat Medvedev but unfortunately he felt short in the second and third set. Furthermore Sinner can only improve from this defeat, and I believe that when he faces Medvedev again he’ll most probably beat him because I’m sure that he’ll be hurting badly after constantly losing to him.
