finally Sinner is showing a minimum of continuity in his results and against Tsitsipas, it was not so easy to predict a victory with this effort... who knows if Sinner will be able to reach the final again
I've only seen part of the first set. No idea how it stands now but the first et was a big punishment for Wrawrinka who only won 1 game in the first set. It's bound to be an easy win for the tall Sinner. He can certainly make it to the final, but I suspect it won't be easy. He still faces quite a bit of resistance. Medvedev is also still in the tournament. We also see the Greek track against Gijs Brouwer in another quarterfinal, which I had not added to my list. We now have to wait for the next Grand Slam in the summer, a pity that there is always so much time in a year. Sinner got the job done in 2 sets and a bit over an hour. A fairly straight forward match really, 6-1 in the first set, Stan made a bit of a bigger challenge in the first half of the second set but Jannik was stronger, he has definitely carried that focus and momentum from yesterdays win against Tsitsipas, he just needs to keep carrying it to the final. He really is looking like a contender for the title based on those two matches. Both Medvedev and Sinner have easy matches for the final especially Sinner that can win easily. Still want that final between Medvedev and Sinner and i think we are really close to see and epic match betweem these two players. But Medvedev plays against Dimitrov so it wont be that easy |

Great result for augsburg team today they managed to win at home against one of their relegation contenders hoffenheim, this win was not easy they had to wait until the 88th minute of the game to score the first goal which allowed them to stay seven points clear from the relegation zone.
Augsburg got a distance from the relegation zone with 7 points difference between them and Hertha while Hoffenheim risk to move to the relegation zone. Hoffenheim in fact, lost so many points especially with the 4 previous games defeat. So it will not be a surprise if Augsburg won vs them( Augsburg should be safe now with this important win against a direct opponent in the battle for surivival. While Hoffenheim is in trouble now and might even after this round end up in the relegation zone. Late goal killed them but they didnt deserve to win at all. |

According to Mirror, Ancelotti doesn't even care about if Marco Asensio leaves the team or not. Manchester United have been reported to be thinking of making an offer to him. As he has less than six months left on his contract he is available for a free transfer now. Asensio is actually not a bad player but he has been inconsistent at Real Madrid recently. This must be why Ancelotti doesn't care about him much. Otherwise he still has a good potential to play decently. Maybe he can start being more consistent by coming to the Premier League. We never know but I wonder if Manchester United are really interested in such signing. Because they are rather interested in making a striker signing these days. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/carlo-ancelotti-gives-man-utd-29233025He didnt play much last few seasons and i wouldnt be surprised if he leaves the club on summer. But if they had him on contract they could sell him for a good fee. So i think it is best intrest for Real Madrid to give him a new contract so they could profit from his transfer. |

yeah nice match!
I bet on SSC Napoli, because Sassuolo Calcio is low team comparing with Napoli, and Napoli is demonstrating excellent collaboration and synergy between the players and much strenght (is in first positoin).
just my opinion, but is 100% win of Napoli
Napoli already taken the lead in 13th minute over Kvaratshelia and looks already like a one way street. Napoli is so good this season that i dont see anyone beating them at all and now they can just focus on champions league with how big of an advantage they have in the serie A |

Like you ajve written mate, Ronaldo is the main reason for this thread since Ronaldo was transferred to the Arab League, there was interest to discuss about what is happening there and how the league is faring. I know.some persons some persons that are never Ronaldo fans might see it as no reason to open a thread like this but the main reason for this thread just like it is boldly written is to have a grasp of what is happening in the Arab league and here we can discuss about the content of the league which there is more contraction on Ronaldo has an outlook player.
Obviously Ronaldo is the main reason I honestly wouldn't care about this league without Ronaldo  and now I know more about several clubs No need to be surprised if so far the discussion on this thread has reached 33 pages because previously Ronaldo effect bringing millions of followers on Al Nasr IG. Back on topic: Do you think Ronaldo will be able to reach the top scorer in the remaining 12 matches? No body would care about this league let alone discuss it if it wasnt for him. He played really good today with two assists and main reason why al Naasr won today. I think its hard that he will be the top scorer but still a long way to go |

Sinner destroyed Tsitsipas in straight sets 6-4 6-3 and is looking really good in this tournament. I see him and Medvedev fighting for the title in this tournament and would like to see this final happen. Both Sinner and Medvedev are playing really good so far.
Medvedev must first pass FAA in today's match, Medvedev's favorite even though FAA is the defending champion here a tight match will be possible and last 3 sets, If Medvedev can make it to the semifinals relatively he will get an easier opponent, FAA is the biggest test in this tournament it's just that because he hasn't been good enough in recent tournaments it is very possible for Medvedev to lose to any opponent. Auger ended the last year good but now started a little slower then expected,i expected more wins from him but now he has a hard match against Medvedev that is looking to get back into the top 10 and has a really good chance if he wins this tournament but still a lot to go for him. |

Regardless of the signature of Memphis Depay from Barcelona, Diego Simeone and his side hasn't improved and proved they can end the season well because never say never. I look up to Athletico Madrid but then not so sure they can win against Bilbao who have been a better side than Diego Simeone side. Time without number, I'd advice him once again to improve on his tactics. He shouldn't be defending too much football way past that level.
Actually if we look at Atletico's development over the last few seasons they are like this, they faltered a bit at the start and started to return to their ideal position in the Champions League Zone towards the end. The addition of Depay is also something they did well. The conditions are slightly different when this season Simeone rarely trusts Joao because of Morata's presence, but with Depay now they are still quite good because they can still fill the position left by Joao quite well. Simeone still has to improve because his condition is still not possible for them at the moment. I have a friend that takes Atletico de Madrid very seriously and would never accept any argument about it. I think however that unless it starts getting some serious money in the market, the lame results that it is getting are going to keep comming because is not about this or that player of even the coach, it is more about the other teams getting stronger. Everybody knows how atletico madrid plays that they depend on defence and counter attack and other teams know this and know how to play against them so this is why the results are bad for Atletico this season. If they are gonna play like this they need to get players that do this right and not get players that play an attacking style. Not everyone can play atleticos style |

Liverpool - Real Madrid game is really going to be quite interesting. Liverpool have been a much better team in the Champions League so far compared to their look in the English Premier League. But their last performance against Everton in their league was also something really good. But we will see if they can play solidly against a team like Real Madrid.
Real Madrid have been their nightmare so far. They have lost so many times to Real Madrid and they would like to put an end to this as a result. But they have a really difficult job about it. Because Real Madrid are actually the most feared team in the tournament secretly as they have won this title many times recently as well.
You are right about Liverpool's performance this season hasn’t been the same as previous seasons after parting ways with key players like Sadio Mané. However, they have shown a promising gameplay in the UEFA Champion's League, having advanced to the 1/8 finals wasn’t an easy challenge where we could see many big teams fail getting here. Their next opponent Real Madrid is a very strong team in UCL playing with a different face despite their struggles in LaLiga we are going to witness a beautiful match next week in my opinion. Both teams are struggling but Liverpool is not even close to the level they were before and clearly Real Madrid is the favorite in this duel. For Klopp this is the tournament that can save the season after such a terrible one and i think there wont be much goals between these two teams. |

Manchester City taking the lead scares me because I know how difficult it becomes for them to lose a game when they lead in the table. From here on I will be expecting a good run on form because they wouldn't want to lose that position now. Arsenal have not been at their best form recently and I’m afraid they can’t stand a chance against Manchester City now.
If Manchester city takes the first place i dont think they will drop it. They got too much experience when they are the top and to drop points is really unlikely especially at home. They are really motivated now and in an amazing form and i dont think Arsenal can keep up with them. |

Only 1 -1 for Juventus vs Nantes, they got 3 posts but they don't count. Everything is still open, and it will another shame if they will fail the qualification. Also, a penalty is missing at the last minute.  No penalty, WTF Source: https://twitter.com/glmdj/status/1626347327505018881I dont know how this isnt a penalty. Wtf is wrong with the refs today,how can you not give a penalty for this,its just dissapointing. Juventus should have won the match with this penalty but the refs made things for Nantes a lot easier. Juventus now needs to win in france |

lot of talks regarding CL and EL draws, but ECL draw was also interesting
Partizan will face Sheriff, we have a history with them, but they are obviously better team now, will be an interesting fight
Trabzonspor will face Basel, Braga will have tough task against Fiorentina and Lazio is going to Romania, to face Cluj
Partizan with a big win against Sheriff in an away match and they barely won it with 10 men. They had a good chance to go 2-0 but missed a huge chance. But still a good result for Partizan. Also Lazio barely won against Cluj and Lazio had only 10 players |

Tsitsipas v Sinner - really looking forward to this, would live to back Sinner but
I'm not sure, I havent seen him playing yet, maybe a dollar bet for a bit of fun??
My money is on Tsitsipas in this one. He just feels like a player with higher ceiling. I don't see Sinner ever winning against Tsitsi in top form while I can invasion Tsitsi squeezing a win even if he isn't on 100%. That being said, Sinner is a complete package and I am sure he can do some damage on Tsitsi backhand. That is the way to play against Tsitsi, make him hit hard backhands and hope this is the day when it is a bit off and not firing winners. Sinner destroyed Tsitsipas in straight sets 6-4 6-3 and is looking really good in this tournament. I see him and Medvedev fighting for the title in this tournament and would like to see this final happen. Both Sinner and Medvedev are playing really good so far. |

A nice game between Barcelona and Manchester United which will end in a draw if no strange things happen. we have seen no less than 4 goals in the 2nd half. Did this duel deserve a winner? Actually both, so in that respect 2-2 is a fair result. But both teams will be happy with the draw, especially Barcelona because the rule that away goals counts double no longer applies. Barcelona and United have both been ahead once in this match. I think United are light favorites to go through if it stays 2-2.
Ajax - Union Berlin is a very disappointing ame so far with 0-0
I think Barcelona are unhappy anyway as a victory at Old Trafford is much less likely than today's chance. In general, after the first half, I was sure that United would not lose and most likely win, but in the second half the game became completely chaotic and both teams had chances. The score could have been 4-3 or 3-4 in either direction. But now United is a clear favorite in this pair, I will be happy to look at the quotes of the bookmakers which initially considered Barcelona to be the favorite. Both teams should be really unhappy because they had a lot of chances to win the match and get a good start in the rematch. I think Barcelona was really unlucky in the end of the match the ball just wouldnt go in . Didnt expect such a good match but probobly the best football match i seen this year. |

Very interesting match between Barcelona vs Manchester United in the second half, and Marcos Alonso scored in the 50th minute with a header and Marcus Rashford quickly replied in the 52nd minute which only two minutes later Manchester United were able to reply.
and Manchester United's second goal from Jules Kounde's own goal and this time the score was 1-2, the match was getting more interesting, especially Manchester United who continued to attack and created several opportunities. And I think Manchester United will add goals because they played very well even though Barcelona dominated the game.
This is the only intresting match at 18:45 currently. All other are either goalless or bad to watch . But man utd is playing really good and i think Barcelona had this in the bag but still 15 mins for them to at least get a draw in this match. |

I'm quite happy with AC Milan performance in the match against Tottenham. To be honest, I have a doubt Milan can win this match, because in Serie A, AC Milan often shows inconsistency performance. a 1 - 0 win over Tottenham is not enough, because in the second leg anything can happen. This win is still not safe, because Tottenham only need 1 goal to bring Milan to play in extra time. If this extra time happens, I think it will be a more difficult game for Milan since they are playing away.
Really good match by these two teams especially Milan that dominated the entire match and could have scored a lot more goals,they really missed some easy chances and this might cost them in the rematch against Tottenham. |

Kane will be the favorite of the transfer window. And if he leaves Tottenham, I think he can do well in new challenges. I think he will be successful in the German and Spanish leagues. Also, Tottenham won't feel too much of his absence. Richarlison and Son might take his position. In Real Madrid, Benzema became a new favorite after Ronaldo left the team. The same developments are likely to happen for Richarlison and Son. They are also very talented football players.
Harry Kane will be so missed if he leaves Tottenham. I don't think Richarlison and Son can do it the way Kane does it. He's a good passer, he helps defensively, drops deep to link up with his teammates and also a very good goal scorer. He's an all round world class striker. Like I've said before, the easiest place for Kane is Bayern Munich. There he's guaranteed trophies and goals because he's exactly what Bayern lack right now since they sold Lewandoski. But knowing how difficult it would be for him to leave England if he decides or allowed to leave Tottenham, I don't see that happening. So he can go to Chelsea or Manchester United. Any one of these two clubs is a perfect fit for him cause both teams are in dire need of his services. There is still talks about Kane moving to bayern munich and that would be perfect both Kane and Bayern Munich. But until summer he will stay for sure in Tottenham. He was close to leaving the club so many times but in the end stays in Tottenham. He even broke the record now for most goal scored in the history of the club. |

Look at the status of the PSG team. Honestly watching PSG play makes me laugh. PSG will never do well in the Champions League with this level of performance.
PSG right now are really in big trouble because Monaco take a lead of 3 -1 against them, which is really anoying for any fan, I taught they will beat Monaco or level it but unfortunately they didn't it's true that this loss will didn't affect the points table but will put pressure on PSG, because Monaco will be just 3 point away from them and one more loss will damage Thier top position on league table, hope C. Galtier will try some new combination, formation, and tactics against Munich because of his loss really affect the player moral. Despite Monaco's clear win, they are still second in the league, 7 points behind Psg. We can't say that psg suffered much loss. They still lead the league in points by far. Monaco and other teams are currently fighting for second place in the league. I still think Psg will win the league. For me this was an expected win from Monaco and huge win for them to try and catch PSG. But i think its o most impossible that they drop such a big lead. PSG focuses on champions league and they dont care much about their own league. They got a big match against Bayern Munich so i think this wasnt their 100% |

Cristiano Ronaldo has officially put on a show. It was a game we would call Cristiano Ronaldo Against Al-Wehda. He scored four goals, without even making any effort to score those goals. He scored four goals in his third match, scoring his first goal from the penalty spot. I didn't expect him to score so much in his third game. It seems to me that he plays comfortably in every match now, enjoy it, I think it would be good for him to play there and at that level, even if he doesn't want it.
Ronaldo destroyed all criticism directed at him by scoring four goals in the Al-Wehda match. A lot of unfair criticism was directed at him by some media groups, but today his football and his determination to win have shown that all criticism is unfounded. He was playing top level football in the Premier League two months ago. He will do the same in SPL and remind everyone once again who he is. I have no doubt about it. Well a striker needs time even if you are one of the best in football history you still need time to break the ice to start scoring a lot. Once he scored the goal from a penalty in the match before he broke his bad luck and in next match destroyed al Wehda easily. We can expect more from him in next matches. |

Arsenal's losing 5 points in their last 2 matches would revive the decreasing hopes of Manchester City. Especially if we think about the match between Arsenal and City on Wednesday. For Southampton their loss against Wolves today would be quite devastating. If you are losing the match from a 1-0 advantage after your opponent starts playing with 10 players this would demoralize the whole team.
Arsenal is still first with a big difference then City but this is normal that the form of Arsenal goes down,they cannot play the entire league at a superb level. Now they just need to get over this crises and start winning matches because City is really close and has a really good team |

Southampton failed to take full points, leading 1-0 at half-time and also played with 11 men against Wolves who only played 10 men, but Southampton still failed to win. So it's no wonder Southampton this season are at the bottom of the Premier League standings, and maybe Southampton will be relegated because it seems that Southampton don't have the ability to get up.
Before the match started I thought Wolves would win but after Wolves got a red card and lost 1-0 at half time, that made me pessimistic. But who would have thought, Wolves, who only played with 10 players, could rise in the second half and managed to make a comeback by scoring two goals and ending the match with a final result of 1-2.
Such a dissapointing result for Southampton. They leaded the match and lost somehow. I had a draw in this match but insane stuff happened and Wolves turned the match over with a red card. Biggest three points of the year for Wolves this season. |
