Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal will all want to win their match because anyone who drops a point might be left behind in the Premier League title race this season. If Arsenal can get a chance to top the Premier League table again, I think they will win the title because they are in amazing form.
Actually I doubt if it will be possible for Arsenal to top the league because currently Liverpool and Manchester City has more quality performance than Arsenal but however if Arsenal should be given a chance to top the premier League once again there is no how Manchester City or Liverpool can outperform them because they will do everything possible to maintain there position to avoid what happened to them last season. However the reason why they are struggling this much was actually there faults because if they had been consistent during the time they were in a good shape they would have been leading the league table by now. The points gap between Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the points table is not much. So the position of the parties can change at any time.  The third-placed Arsenal team is just 2 points behind the top-of-the-table Liverpool. So if Liverpool lose a point in a match they are likely to lose the top spot in the points table. The Premier League is very competitive. There are many strong groups. So it is very unlikely that Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City will win all their upcoming matches. However, the team that can maintain the most consistency among these three teams will win the title. |

It’s good that this is only the first match and this penalty was not decisive. I think that a draw in an away match is not the worst result, of course they would like to win away, but after this match PSV is in a more difficult situation, since the match in Germany will definitely be more difficult for them. This is not the first time that a referee's error has affected the final result. In the second match, Inter managed to beat Atletico, I didn’t expect that they could win, I expected that the match would end in a draw. Now Atletico will have to correct the situation in Madrid...
Regardless of what happens, the final result 1-1 is very profitable for Dortmund who will play the second leg at home. Dortmund have a big chance of qualifying for the next round. In home matches the players of the teams are confident and can perform well. In yesterday's home match we saw PSV players play well. They did a lot of attacks. But Dortmund were very tactical. Their main aim was to strengthen the defence. After keeping the defense strong, Dortmund's players launched a counter attack. PSV has actually made maximum efforts but the quality of the Dortmund team is slightly better than PSV so the results of this series are not surprising. This is the gameplay I expected from PSV. Because this two teams is not consider a weak teams at all.  This statistic clearly shows that the match was dominated by PSV's players. They played well it's true. The attacking players missed several chances. Otherwise, maybe PSV would have won. And for the Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid match, it was very fierce, even though Inter Milan won the match, they couldn't completely calm down because they only had a 1 goal lead, making it possible to be chased by Atletico who will play at home in the second leg.
Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid both had strong squads. So the match was also very competitive. However, I expected to see better performances from players in the forward lineup of Atletico Madrid. I think Atletico Madrid were tactically weak in this match. Otherwise, Atletico Madrid had the ability to draw the match. |

 What a match!!!!!!! I haven't seen such an exciting and competitive match in a long time. We have to wait till the last ball to see the result of the match. Australia needed 4 runs off the last ball. With the help of Tim David, Australia managed to win the match with the last ball. New Zealand managed to set a huge target of 216 runs. The New Zealand players were probably pressure free after being given such a big target. They probably thought that winning the match would not be a difficult task. Mitchell Marsh played a responsible innings of 72 runs off 44 balls. But I would say that Tim David played the most important innings of this match. David collected 31 runs in just 10 balls. He managed to play a great innings despite being under a lot of pressure.  This is Australia's collection in the last two overs. Australia needed 35 runs to win from the last 12 balls. And they managed to do it. After a long time we got a chance to enjoy a perfect T20 match. We enjoyed a very exciting match. |

Well, You got 2 out of the 3 right. Volkanovski got knocked out in round 2 by Topuria and I think his "getting old/granddad" press conference is going to come back to bite him, now that he's lost. It was entertaining while it lasted but the jokes on him. We betting on Mackenzie tonight?
Didn't bet but watched the fight. She's got the chin to withstand the first round and take the fight to the distance, which was impressive. The commentators were biased towards her but yeah, it didn't look close and she had to win by submission, if she wanted to win. Thanks! I was shocked that Alexander Volkanovski lost to Ilia Topuria but that was one great fight Alexander did great in the 1st rounds while in the 2nd round, Topuria was taking the right timing and in the 2nd round he was more consistent and he also knew the reach of Topuria for him to see an opening to Volkanovski's striking that pocket boxing really help him against Volk, I was wrong with the Main Event but any fighter can win, Volkanovski can also win that fight with those high kicks as Topuria was nearly knockout in the past. In my opinion I guess I am not surprised but was definitely a little unexpected. I expected him to actually be the winner in this fight. But anyway I have to give credit to his opponent. That dude is good. Even though some people say that fighters have become a little careful with their approach because they want to keep a clean record of zero losses but I still think he is pretty damn good. Robert Whittaker VS Paulo Costa
Robert Whittaker [1.43] - For this one, Robert Whittaker is a calculating fighter so for sure he can win this with the stand-up or he can even go into the ground but the ground game is unlikely as Paulo Costa has a decent takedown defense so for this it may stay as a standing match-up but as Robert Whittaker could surely dodge Paulo Costa's attacks this is fairly a good match for him.
The Paulo Costa loss was understandable.

Today's match in this year's BPL is going to be very exciting as the two teams facing each other today are side by side in the points table. In this year's BPL season, Rangpur Riders are at the top of the points table, Comilla Victorians are at number two. Rangpur Riders have already got five batsmen out, none of these five batsmen could reach 30 runs. James Neesham is now the only hope of Rangpur Riders team. At the rate Rangpur Riders are now scoring runs per over, their number of runs can be 140 plus. After a long time today we may see the defeat of Rangpur. Rangpur's batsmen are not able to bat well today. Comilla captain Liton Das won the toss and decided to field. At the end of 15 overs, Rangpur Riders managed to collect only 102 runs. However, Rangpur team has already lost 7 wickets. Rangpur lost the seventh wicket for 93 runs. Mehedi and Nurul are not in their usual form. I am going to forget the last time I saw good batting from these two batsmen. These two batsmen are consistently batting badly. Almost every bowler in the Comilla squad is performing well. Moreover, Comilla's batting order is strong. Liton, Towhid Hridoy, Moeen Ali, Russell and Sunil Narine are all good players. It is not possible to defeat the Comilla team on a small target. If the match is defeated, the match is not an important match for Rangpur. The team is at the top of the table with 18 points from 11 matches. Even if they lose today's match, Rangpur Riders will remain at the top of the points table. |

Bayern Munich lost confidence after defeat against Leverkusen. They could not win against Lazio in the Champions League match. And in the end Munich lost against a weak Bochum. Bayern Munich won the last match against Bochum with a big margin of 7-0. It is unimaginable to see Munich lose against such a team. We probably won't see Tuchel again next season with Munich. I mention the reasons for this - A few days ago I heard rumors that Barcelona are interested in Thomas Tuchel. I still can't say for sure if this is true. But it is likely to be true. (FC Barcelona Offered Bayern Munich Boss Thomas Tuchel, Reports Mundo Deportivo).- check this news. Munich are about to miss out on the Bundesliga title after 12 years. This will certainly not be taken well by the Munich management. Despite Leverkusen's lack of a strong squad, coach Xabi's hard work is doing well. So the Munich management will also want to hire more experienced coaches. Losing two games in a roll and coming back to lose to a team you not for long won with a 7 goal margin, just this analysis shows how much form Bayern Munich has dropped despite having one of such an enviable squad in the Bundesliga, it am not mistaken Bayern Munich has the best quality of players in that league than others teams and you then wonder what could actually be the cause of their drawbacks on the table. I consider the main reason for Bayern Munich's defeat to be a lack of confidence among the team's players. The team would not have faced such an accident if the players were confident. It is unthinkable that a big team like Bayern Munich, despite having a strong squad, will lose three matches in a row. The Champions League match was very important for the team. Munich lost against smaller teams like Lazio on the Champions League platform. Last season when he Tuchel arrived at Munich towards the end of the season and won the Bundesliga title many described it as an act of luck due to the draw Dortmund encountered in the last decisive game, as at then I wasn't convinced it was due to luck but with everything playing out in Bayern Munich with their performance since the beginning of this season I am starting to believe Tuchel was just lucky to have won the title in the last previous season. When Tuchel took charge of Munich last season, Munich's performance was not very good. They lost several matches. But we said then that maybe the coach needs some time to adapt to the players of the new team. But so far Tuchel has not been able to prove his ability. Bayern Munich have fallen behind in the race to win both the Champions League and Bundesliga titles. If Barcelona is making a move for Tuchel next season, then well, it's a goodnews for Bayern Munich maybe he's going to do fine in Barcelona but definitely not doing so in Munich right now.
I am still not sure about this rumour. But I have seen several news regarding this. Since Xavi has already announced that he is no longer interested in staying with Barcelona, the Barcelona management is now looking for an experienced coach. In another news I saw that Barcelona management are also interested in Brighton coach De Zerbi. You could check it out- Barcelona pick De Zerbi to replace Xavi as manager

 What a brilliant knock from bangladeshi young openar Tanzid Hasan Tamim! He batted responsibly from the start of the innings. .Tanzid is out after 18 overs. He made a big collection of 116 runs. Tanzid hit 8 over boundaries and 8 boundaries off just 65 balls. It was one of the most memorable innings of Tanzid's career Khulna are in a bit of a save zone after giving away a target of 193 runs. Still, that's not to say they'll win. Anything can happen on a batting friendly pitch. Several T20 specialist batsmen like Evin Lewis, Shai Hope and Holder are in the Khulna squad. And if these three batsmen bat well, Khulna has a chance to win. |

They've got upcoming fixtures against tougher teams and if they couldn't win the easy games I wonder how they'll survive those 3 especially the league match against Leipzig and the UCL game with Lazio. Left for me, i don't see Bayern lifting this season's trophy, they might have been lucky last season but there's no hope for them lately and I give credit to Leverkusen's Xabi Alonso for mounting pressure on Tuchel which caused a decline in Bayern's form.
Munich has lost to Frankfurt and Bochum. I think other teams in the Bundesliga will try to copy the tactics these two teams used to beat Munich. This will be a challenge for Tuchel to rotate players and change the team's playing tactics if he no longer wants to lose. The next matches are against Leipzig and Freiburg. Both teams have a chance to beat Munich if Munich is still in this bad form. It was a horrible results for gamblers as many of us had expected that Bayern Munich will cart away with this 3 points by winning bochum in their bid to cover up points against their major opponent Leverkusen but reverse was the result as they are now 8points behind Leverkusen who are poised to winning all their games this season not showing any signs of losing points any time soon. I think Tuchel is not acting up to expectation and not convincing at all with how Munich has been struggling in almost all their games this season both in the Bundesliga and UCL with an unimpressive performance. He needs to go back to the drawing board to fix his errors as his current tactics is not giving the team the needed results, Nagelsman wasn't this poor with his performance yet he was sacked so I won't be surprised Tuchel receives same fate if he continues with the losing streaks, except that the management will shamefully retain him to cover up for their bad decision of sacking Nagelsman who in my opinion was doing great than what Tuchel is doing right now with Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich lost confidence after defeat against Leverkusen. They could not win against Lazio in the Champions League match. And in the end Munich lost against a weak Bochum. Bayern Munich won the last match against Bochum with a big margin of 7-0. It is unimaginable to see Munich lose against such a team. We probably won't see Tuchel again next season with Munich.

Fortune Barishal vs Rangpur Riders
Barisal team won the toss and decided to bat against Rangpur Riders. The Rangpur team has lost only two matches this season. And in one of these they lost against Barisal. Batting first against Barisal, Rangpur team gave a target of only 135 runs in the match. And Barisal won by batting on a small target.
Right now the players of Rangpur Riders are in a better rhythm than Barisal. The team is consistently winning every match. Especially the Rangpur batsmen are in great form. Shakib is able to play big innings in almost every match. The fight in today's match will mainly be of Shakib Bona Tamim. I am looking forward to see the performance of these two players. Moreover, the match is not very important for either team. Because both teams are guaranteed the next round. Let's see how Tamim and Shakib can perform today. I think Rangpur will win today and avenge the previous defeat.
Fortune Barisal managed to get off to a good start after winning the toss and electing to bat. Tamim Iqbal got out after collecting 33 runs off 20 balls. He batted very well. The interesting thing is that Tamim was dismissed by Shakib. We have seen the rivalry between these two players for a long time. Fortune Barisal team managed to collect 61 runs at the end of 7 overs. The team lost just one wicket. Barisal has some excellent players like Kyle Mayers, Tom Benton, Soumyo, Mushfiq, Mahmudullah and Miraz in their squad. Considering the squad, I consider Barisal as the favourite. However, Rangpur will definitely want to continue their streak. Abu Hider took three wickets in his 1 over. Barisal's batsmen were batting brilliantly. At the end of 11 overs, the team's collection was 104 runs with the loss of 1 wicket. Barisal team lost the wicket of Tom Banton for 110 runs. And the Barisal team lost the fifth wicket for 116 runs. Soumyo and Mushfiq did not bat well. Mehedi Miraz and Mahmudullah are batting now. At the end of 14 overs, Barisal managed to collect 121 runs. Since Barisal lost wickets very quickly, now the team is naturally under pressure. If Barisal gives a target of less than 180 in today's match, then their chances of winning are very low. Rangpur Riders batsmen are in very good form. Rangpur team won because of good batting in the previous matches. Besides, I don't think Barisal's bowlers are in very good rhythm. If the target is below 180, the chances of Rangpur winning in today's match are high. |

Frankly speaking, this is embarrassing for Bayern Munich. Having a two defeat in a row is very uncommon of Bayern Munich that we know in those days. From my observation, it seems the players aren't playing for the badge again. Perhaps, they are also interested to get rid of Tuchel. From the beginning, I perceived the decision to hire Tuchel as a wrong one because having seen what happened during his reign at Chelsea, one will know that he's not suitable for big clubs but it seems Bayern doesn't assess how the couch performed in his previous club as long as he's a German nationality.
He almost relegated a certain club but I don't know what potential that Bayern saw in him to hired him. There's no longer joy in watching Bayern's games anymore. I feel sorry for Kane because he came to Bayern at the wrong time and met an average couch in the club but people are thinking he brought his bad luck from Tottenham.
The defeat against Leverkusen really affected the mentality of the Bayern Munich team and their current lag in the Bundesliga standings means their enthusiasm is not as usual. No one expected Bayern Munich to lose so dramatically in their last 2 matches even though they had fielded all their main squad. It seems like now everything is over for Bayern Munich, they are very down now, 8 points behind Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and 1 goal behind Lazio in the first leg of the UCl last 16 this season, it's really painful for Bayern Munich. The issue of Kane's misfortune of never winning any trophy is now starting to be discussed and this will have a worse impact on Kane's individual performance and also his contribution to the team. Harry Kane has had a really strange career It's okay that he didn't win at Tottenham, Tottenham is not a winning club anyway, but to go to a team that has established hegemony in its own league by saying that I want to be in a winning team after not winning for so many years and losing the championship the year he went to a team that established hegemony in its own league is really an unbelievable misfortune. Leroy Sane is an incredible talent and an incredible athleticism, but he is an incredibly silent and uncaring character. Tuchel is a very incompetent man. If he can't get past Lazio in the last 16, he should be sacked now, not at the end of the season. It's a joke how he can be so incompetent with the squad he has. Unfortunately for Harry Kane, despite being an incredibly talented player, he could not win any major titles. After joining Bayern Munich, I thought he would easily win the Bundesliga title. But after 12 long years, Bayern Munich has lost its Bundesliga dominance. Munich won the last match against Bochum by a huge margin of 7-0. Harry kane did a great performance in this match. Kane contributed to 5 of the 7 goals. But I was very upset by the performance of the Bayern Munich players in yesterday's match. Even after dominating the match, Bayern Munich could not win. They lost because of bad defense. Bayern Munich had 69% of the ball. A total of 27 shots were made by the players of Munich. Despite dominating the entire match, Bayern Munich conceded 3 goals. Tuchel is probably going to be sacked soon. He failed with Munich. If you can't perform well in the Champions League, then the Munich management will look for a new coach. |

Manchester United got a win in a way that I expected. I even predicted the score correctly but didn't bet on it though.  But I still preferred to add Manchester United to my parlay and they made me happy. Hojlund's rise in the league continues. He made another big contribution to his team and had the biggest role in getting the win as well. He is really like a goal machine recently. Gaining his self-confidence has helped him very positively as you can see. There is still a really long road ahead of Manchester United to reach top four of course. But as long as they are consistent they will have a significant chance for joining the Champions League again. Obviously, that lately Hojlund has managed to consistently score goals, at least in the last 6 matches of Manchester United including matches in the FA Cup as well and in the last 6 matches of Manchester United Hojlund managed to score goals . But indeed, Hojlund arrival at the beginning of this season is in fact Hojlund condition at tha time is also experiencing injuries and thus, it is certainly difficult for Hojlund to adapt well when his condition is not good like that . But ya, over time Hojlund managed to restore performance and with an increase in performance like that, Manchester United at this moment still has a chance to at least get into the top five. Hojlund is a talented player. But I think Hojlund is not yet experienced enough to be the main striker of a big team like Manchester United. Hojlund's performance at the start of the season was poor. However, we have seen better performances from Hojlund in the last few matches. He is now playing well and scoring goals. Hojlund has 7 goals and 2 assists in 20 Premier League matches. Hopefully we will see Hojlund's performance improve gradually. Manchester United won 2-1 against Luton Town. Hojlund scored in the first minute of the match, and just 6 minutes later, Hojlund scored another goal to give Manchester United a 2-1 lead. Luton Town scored a goal in the 14th minute. Even after that, the players of both the teams attacked a lot in the whole match, but neither team could score any more goals. Manchester United are now sixth in the points table after winning four matches in a row. |

The playing styles of coaches Daniele de Rossi and Jose Mourinho are different and I admit I was one of the many people who doubted Daniele de Rossi's abilities and yes this was due to the new coach's lack of experience, but it turns out he was able to dispel everyone's doubts with his performance. The club is getting better and I didn't expect that the adaptation between players and coaches could be so fast in establishing chemistry. I hope De Rossi can continue to provide good strategies for Roma so they can compete with top clubs in European league competition in the title race.
In the second leg Roma will play at home and this is a big advantage for Roma to get rid of Feyenoord in the European league competition, but the odds that Roma have are quite big and tempting and I'm sure many people are favorites for Roma in this match. I don't hesitate to bet on Roma in this matches.
Well every coach with her different style and pattern of play and I think this is what every fan should know. Well I was among many who criticized the signing of De Rossi because he had no experience. Well experience is always needed at every job or task given and he was an amateur and I feared he might not be able to save thos Roma side. He’s rewriting the story and it’s becoming more interesting especially with the feats he’s achieved as a coach for this club, no one expected them to be in chase for Top 4 like they’re now. He also performed good in the 1st leg of the Round of 32 in the Europa and will need to put the icing on his first leg performance when he plays Feynoord at home. Him getting a win at home will send some warning signals that Roma could probably challenge for the title too. I think he should prioritize getting into the top 4 more, however reaching the finals like Mourinho did is not a bad idea. Actually, different coaches having different approaches are known by everyone, right? Even though a lot of people seem to be praising Roma right now, I do not still believe them. I still doubt them to be honest. Because you know sometimes changing a coach gives an instant boost in mentality among the players. But after that motivation is over, sometimes the performance starts to drop off again. There is a chance of that happening, who knows! So I will still not say I trust the new coach completely and I will still wait and watch what happens. |

India will not lose this match. If England can bat well, the match will be a draw, otherwise India will win this match.
England's bowlers are not able to take Jaiswal's wicket. Unbeaten Jaiswal scored 149 runs. India scored 314 runs with the loss of just 4 wickets and now has a huge lead of 440 runs. It is likely that the Indian team will declare the innings before the end of the second session. India will give the England team the opportunity to bat at least 4 sessions. If not, it will not be easy for Indian bowlers to take 10 wickets of England. India is not playing this match with the aim of a draw, they will try their best to win.
A draw is on the cards, but I don't see it happening thanks to England's Bazball approach where many batsmen like Root are carelessly throwing away their wickets just to keep the scoreboard ticking. I feel that India will probably decimate them by 200+ runs at this stage helping them take the lead in the series. Let's see what happens. No wonder England lost by a big margin. Because we did not see good batting from England in the first innings. No other batsman can play better than Duckett. Moreover, although Duckett can play big innings, it cannot be called a perfect Test innings. Duckett has batted at a strike rate of more than 100. India declared the innings with 430 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. India set a huge target of 557 runs. Jaiswal was unbeaten with 214 runs. On the other hand England lost the wicket of Ben Duckett to collect only 15 runs. |

I agree with you. Barcelona need an experienced striker now. Barcelona have quality strikers in their squad. But they are not experienced enough. Torres, Raphinha, Felix Roque and Yamal are all talented. But no one is experienced enough. Teams can't score goals at the right time, they need more time to develop their skills. And so with these strikers, Barcelona needs another experienced striker. Who has the ability to score a lot of goals.
Against Cleta Vigo, Barcelona's players were able to create several excellent scoring chances but the team was still completely dependent on Lewandowski to score. Barcelona must reduce this dependence. Consistently good performance is not possible depending on just one player.
Lewandowski is quite an experienced player but his age is no longer young so Barcelona should not be completely dependent on him while I don't think Barcelona's other young players have the chemistry that suits Lewandowski or can't match his performance to play together and take advantage of Lewandowski's presence in Barcelona's front line. . This season, the Barcelona team is facing quite a lot of problems, not only on the front line, but overall they are not very good. Slowly, Barcelona continues to gain important points and this makes them more comfortable at the top of the standings, this is important for the team's confidence. There is no doubt that Lewandowski is very experienced. Lewandowski also has the ability to score a lot of goals. But Barcelona should not rely on just one player. Barcelona need another experienced striker. At the same time, Barcelona will also need to find a replacement for Lewandowski. Lewa is now 35 years old. Barcelona should look for an experienced striker between the ages of 26-30. Barcelona will probably get better performances from their young players. But I think Barcelona will need at least 2 more years to get good performances from these young players. If the players are not experienced enough, they do not consistently perform well. Barcelona is unlikely to win the title this season. If Barcelona want to fight for the title next season, then Barcelona must add another experienced striker to the squad. |

Barcelona are relying too much on Robert Lewandowski in two latest seasons and they succeeded with the past season but have problems in this season. Robert is old already and even he still plays better than many players at old age like him, he can not carry Barcelona on his shoulders forever. This match ended well for Barcelona with excellent performance of Lewandowski but Barcelona will not have a happy season if they continue this dependence on the striker. I think he doesnt want to play so much anymore, i think there was also a very lucrative offer from saudi arabia for him and that could be very profitable for him again after Barcelona. He has won a lot titels, so why give everything at his age? I think he wont want to play like he do in the past and he will enjoy his life with parties and other things like football. Barcelona will still pay him a lot of money, so he has to play, but that will soon be over. The game yesterday against Celta Vigo was a good example that Barca really need a better striker who can score more goals. If that doesnt happen, then Real Madrid will be on first place in the league and laughing for the next few years. I agree with you. Barcelona need an experienced striker now. Barcelona have quality strikers in their squad. But they are not experienced enough. Torres, Raphinha, Felix Roque and Yamal are all talented. But no one is experienced enough. Teams can't score goals at the right time, they need more time to develop their skills. And so with these strikers, Barcelona needs another experienced striker. Who has the ability to score a lot of goals.

The lead is of 393 runs and Jaiswal and Sarfraz can add 100 more runs to the lead in a short time.
India have already reached a strong position as they have given the England team a lead of 440 runs so far. The Indians still have six wickets in hand and even they have not declared the innings yet, maybe they will aim to give the England team a target of 500 runs. Indian team's young batsman Jaiswal's batting is really impressive.He played his career best innings in the Test series between India and England when he scored 209 runs.Batting badly in the first innings of the third Test match, but batting brilliantly in the second innings, even now he is unbeaten on 149 runs. Jaswal and Sarfraz Khan are currently unbeaten for the Indian team and these two may extend the Indian innings much longer. India will not lose this match. If England can bat well, the match will be a draw, otherwise India will win this match. England's bowlers are not able to take Jaiswal's wicket. Unbeaten Jaiswal scored 149 runs. India scored 314 runs with the loss of just 4 wickets and now has a huge lead of 440 runs. It is likely that the Indian team will declare the innings before the end of the second session. India will give the England team the opportunity to bat at least 4 sessions. If not, it will not be easy for Indian bowlers to take 10 wickets of England. India is not playing this match with the aim of a draw, they will try their best to win. |

Leipzig lost mentally, that's all and now they have to visit Santiago Bernabeu in the second leg, so we know that the atmosphere of the match there is no stranger to the visiting team feeling how hot the stadium is. Bayern Munich they underestimated their opponents too much and what is clear is that the Bayern Munich players are not compatible with the strategy that Tuchel is implementing and look at how stiff the rhythm of the game is against Lazio with the minimum number of players. And for PSG even if they qualify and are able to beat Real Sociedad again it is still not certain that they will get the trophy from UCL. PSG did not build this club from the souls of the players. Just buying expensive players instantly, it has been proven that last season was full of star players, just doesn't guarantee winning a trophy especially now where you always rely on goal contributions from Mbappe who at the end of this season will soon leave.
One step at a time, don't rush too much, as yet no team is confident that they can become champions. Enrique did a good job with PSG, they may not be a weak opponent, and although PSG does not have such a stellar lineup as last year, they can well be considered one of the contenders, at least I definitely do not consider them weaker than Bayern now. But it will be very difficult to face Real or City, these teams are now in great shape. I wouldn't really favor PSG in the Champions League this season, if they manage to go further it means it's a big surprise this season. I see that realistically, this does not mean underestimating PSG's strength under Enrique's coaching because when compared to other top teams such as Real Madrid and Manchester City, PSG's strength is far behind. Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach. And having such an experienced coach is why PSG's performance is so strong this season. They have had a very strong squad in the last few seasons. But the coach was not experienced. So we haven't seen too many strong performances from PSG. But Enrique has made this team very strong this season. PSG boys played well against Sociedad in home match. It is expected that PSG will easily qualify for the quarter-finals. PSG players are very confident. I think PSG will at least qualify for the semi-finals this season. |

Yes, even though Barcelona's performance is a little disappointing, and Napoli with their new coach has not shown promising performance, I see that both teams have more motivation to qualify for the next round, an interesting match to watch.
a very balanced match, both teams have a fairly balanced history, in my opinion there won't be many goals scored, the 1-0 score that Barcelona will win in the 2nd leg might be the deciding factor, or Napoli could give a surprise by eliminating Barcelona. , If this happens, it will be a bitter farewell for Xavi,
Napoli hasn't been in their very best form and I would say they are not real looking promising a d same goes to Barcelona aswell but then if we are to see osimhen in the Napoli line up then I can be sure to see surprises surfacing but in the man's time I can't exercise certainty with any of both teams. Xavi and his boys has always had to concede goals in their domestic league games recently and has not been in the best of their performance and this has made me doubt if they will be able to comfortably get a win over Napoli especially with the fact that they will be hosted by Napoli, they have not been really good with away games in recent times so I see it as it could be challenging for them because even in the weakness of Napoli they still will not want to just loose especially as this is champions league and not any other of their regular domestic league. Both teams Barcelona and Napoli are not in the good form and both teams are far from what we saw from them in the last season. While Napoli and Barcelona won the title of the league in the last season but currently they are not in good form at all and even Xavi's place is totally in danger in Barcelona to make him move. This is maybe a good reason to say Napoli is going to have an easier game than Barcelona and they can even beat Barcelona in this match. I agree with you that these two teams are out of sync this season. However, I consider Barcelona as favorites in this match. Barcelona's overall performance is better than Napoli's. Napoli's attack and defense are both weak. On the other hand, although Barcelona's performance is erratic, this team cannot be called weak. Their main weakness is their defense. If Xavi can tighten up Barcelona's defense in this match, victory against Napoli is possible. However, if Barcelona's defenders perform badly in this match as in the previous matches, then Barcelona may not be able to win. But my guess is that Barcelona will either win the match or the match will be a draw. Napoli doesn't look like my favorite to win. |
