Mind you, Pep is too good in playing mind games and always have a way of doing things.

Of course it's possible, but I still believe Manchester City can win their home games and maintain their home record against Arsenal. The match could end in a draw for both teams, but the odds are not good to hope for. Many people believe Manchester City are the favorites at home because of their record and performance, but we will see for sure after 90 minutes.

Currently the new contract signed by Ancelotti until the 2026 season is a form of Madrid's trust in Ancelotti, and of course they are more rational in seeing the ability to coach a club at this time, indeed Alonso is able to bring Leverkusen unbeaten this season in the Bundesliga, but of course this does not guarantee he is able to do the same when later coaching Madrid,  In addition, experience in coaching is of course the main factor needed by Madrid now compared to risking the future of the club to Alonso who is currently on the hype.

Yes, I also think that is going to happen. Unless Real Madrid really wants to bring in some other coach. Which I don't think is going to happen. And I believe by that time, the players who are actually interested in coaching Real Madrid right now, and yes I am talking about Xabi Alonso, Will probably find another club except from Real Madrid. I mean literally, there are a lot of clubs that actually need a course like him at this moment. Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and a lot of other clubs will be very interested in bringing him in. I don't think he should wait for a move to Real Madrid. Because if things don't go south, I don't see Carlo Ancelotti leaving Real Madrid.

In this competition they will play as the visiting team, and I agree that even though Lazio is far below them, that doesn't mean they will be able to beat Lazio very easily. Lazio itself will certainly try very hard to achieve victory so that they can reach a better position at the end of the season. Juventus must prepare for this match as well as possible if they want to make Lazio lose, because if not then maybe they will go home without getting a single point.

Yamal is one of the most potential players of Barcelona. He is getting often to score goals now. I think Barcelona management will regret it if they sell Yamal and they only get some money that never fixed the financial problem of Barcelona. IMO, Barcelona management should change their mind to sell the young players.

But for the first time I happened to see someone who is a gambler and he was harmed because of gambling severally, fully in financial distress but instead of him to calm down and try to avoid what's harming him so badly, even after losing everything, he is still so desperate to continue.

Close rumor, Liverpool is the only one team linked for signing Rodrygo for the next season behind reach agreement deal between Real Madrid and Mbappe will make not secure yet with Rodrygo as regular position. I think Madrid still not too early for selling Rodrygo and he still has one place as regular position on right winger side, so far Carlo Ancelotti more playing him as regular players and its difficult for Rodrygo will accept Liverpool offering.
Actually Rodrygo is the multi position players and he can plays well as left, right and central forward as false nine under Carlo Acelotti tactician when loss with real central forward players. Madrid success growing up Rodrygo become the best players and he still most respect stays until his contract over.

At first de Rossi arrival to Rome did invite a lot of polemics and even some of us continue to underestimate de Rossi' ability to be able to bring Roma better than Mourinho, but In fact now Roma can be a challenger to fight for the 4th position in Serie A at this time, de Rossi arrival has clearly given a lot of changes in As roma and even now they are still surviving to compete In the Europa League now and even for now i think Roma have a great chance to qualify for the Champions League next season.

West Ham is not a reliable team, they suck always in the end, so i dont trust them, they have an amazing game against Freiburg but they are not that, they are more like a regular team with highs and downs.

I dont see them progressing much more in this cup.

Last week Aston Villa only drew when they visited West Ham's headquarters and with this result they failed to secure full points again. The same thing happened previously where they lost against Spurs and with this they have thrown away 5 points in the last 2 matches. This will certainly have quite an impact on changes in the position of the next standings because now they cannot maintain a further distance from the teams below them.

Just look, Spurs will have the same 56 points as Aston Villa if they manage to win the next match, especially if they save one match. Manchester United also has the same opportunity to get closer to a difference of 6 points if they also win in the next match. Aston Villa is unaware that several of these teams are starting to approach them to compete for a place in the Champions League and with this international break I hope they can improve their performance before it is too late.

Bologna is not an opponent that will make things difficult for Juventus and their match is still too far away. Juventus needs to focus on fighting Lazio and Fiorentina because in the two matches Bologna will also face teams in the relegation zone so there is a chance for Bologna to get full points.

Actually, the target of achieving four titles is quite reasonable because Liverpool is actually capable of doing that, but in reality they had to forget about that beautiful dream because they had to be eliminated very painfully by Manchester United. Now Liverpool are once again hoping for luck in the Premier League and Europa League, of course the two remaining trophies are prestigious enough to always be able to get. The opportunities for the Reds are quite open, it's just that Klopp must always be self-aware and use yesterday's defeat as a lesson. But what is clear is that it is not easy for anyone to win the EPL trophy.

Juventus started the season on a very good note and was even considered as a major contender for the Italian Serie A title this season but unfortunately for them and the fans of the club, they've failed to continue with their impressive performance which have now made it almost impossible for them to catch up with league leaders Inter Milan. Juventus did not participate in any European competition this season because they didn't finish last season in a position that'll guarantee them European football and I expected them to make up for their shortcomings of last season by delivering consistent performances that'll see them win the league title but little did I know that they'll later begin to perform poorly after starting the season on a very good note.
Considering their current form and points difference behind league leaders Inter Milan, I don't think there's a possibility of seeing them win the league title this season so I'm sure they'll definitely want to fight to finish the season in the top four of the Italian Serie A table and I think they're surely going to achieve that at the end of the season. They can still fight for the Italian scudetto next season but surely not this season if you ask me because the league winner is almost decided

With a 2 goal advantage, I also favor Ac Milan who will progress to the next round. Slavia Prague has home advantage. They have a good record at home this season. They will definitely play with high intensity and maybe a little aggressive. But I don't think they will be able to beat AC Milan with a 3 goal lead. Italian teams are famous for their excellent defensive play. But I don't think AC Milan will park the bus in front of its goal. They will continue to play attacking and target scoring goals in that match.

Yes, it is a shame that the Serie A representative clubs had to be eliminated first in the big Champions League competition, Milan was eliminated in the group stage, Napoli an,d Inter Milan were eliminated in the round of 16. But what is difficult to accept is Inter Milan. I thought Inter Milan would advance further in the Champions League like last season, which reached the final match, but it turned out that Inter Milan had to be eliminated by Atletico Madrid, even though if you look at Atletico Madrid's performance in the domestic league, it is not that good. consistent while Inter Milan is more consistent, but this is not a guarantee because they are in different leagues. Moreover, Atlettico Madrid playing at home is certainly a big advantage for him because Inter Milan also only scored 1 goal in the first leg so it is an opportunity for Atlettico Madrid in the second leg.

Meanwhile, for the Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan match, I think Inter Milan will win again, even if it is only by a small goal difference. Because I see that Inter Milan is still a very strong team in Serie A. And I think Inter Milan will also be able to do the same thing in the UCL.

This will be a difficult match for Arsenal even though they will be very favourites, because Arsenal is playing at home so they should have an advantage.

A bad day befell Lazio who had just lost at home to their guest Udinese, of course this defeat was very embarrassing because they were playing at home and added to the goal that Lazio got from an own goal from Udinese players, it became very clear that Lazio had a very difficult time getting goals in the match.  Even though they only lost narrowly, what is at least questionable is the quality of Lazio's players to the point that they had great difficulty in creating goals or the opportunities that Lazio produced had no impact during the match, it was Udinese who were able to create goals from players and in the L minute.  Lucca 47' O. Zarraga 51', class position cannot be the main benchmark for being the champion but in reality it is actually sluggish..
