The number 9 jersey has not yet been filled in the squad and maybe Real Madrid is still keeping this jersey number for an attack that really has the same abilities as the previous wearer. Joselu is not projected for the long term because he was bought only to replace the striker who was vacant in the previous season's transfer window. Joselu's ability has not been able to adapt to the schemes and strategies implemented by Ancelotti because several opportunities he was given failed to be executed as the coach hoped.

Endrick Felipe is indeed the youngest player bought by Real Madrid and he will only be able to play next season. If Mbappe is successfully brought to Real Madrid, Los Blancos' front line duo will be even more terrifying. Let's just wait and see what steps Real Madrid will take in the future and hopefully Mbappe will be a priority purchase.

Next tomorrow January transfer window will open until one month later, still not late for PSG selling Kylian Mbappe on this transfer window but depend how to find teams will pay higher bid offer exactly many teams won't pay above 200 million due his contract expiry six months later. One month left before transfer window close is not easy raising agreement deal with team who interest for signing Mbappe include most expensive fee transfer. Real Madrid with their manager Carlo Ancelotti have confirmed not make any transfer or buy player on January window transfer and likely they will wait until Mbappe contract expiry.

Beside Real Madrid have Liverpool who interested for signing Mbappe, but one day left before transfer window opening not official bid offer yet from The Kop for negotiation to sign Mbappe.

I don't think there is any team that can compete with inter this year.

Juventus can be close to them but in the long term they have a better team with more players.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand third series match if Bangladesh batsmen could have batted responsibly and if they could have given New Zealand a target of 150 runs then maybe Bangladesh could have won the third T20 match. Like the Test match, the T20 series was tied 1-1 with New Zealand. The only reason Bangladesh lost the third T20 match was weak batting. If the batting of Bangladesh had been organized, if the batsmen could have performed well, then maybe Bangladesh would have won the second T20 match very easily. Bangladesh's bowlers bowled brilliantly against New Zealand despite being set a target of just 111 runs, so poor batting was the only reason they lost the third T20 series.

I also feel, but I have one more thing if PSG Management gives some time to Luis Enrique and also players which heeded then I have feeling he still can win this Champions League because just having big players never been guaranteed to win trophies you can achieve this without many big stars on just behalf of quality and performance of the players and Luis Enrique is having ability to bring things like these as he is well reputed coach and have good experience with quality as well.

From here now time for them to keep faith and give good time which help him for creating good strategy and other fundamentals which helps the players for better mutual understanding and chemistry which is important for the win like we have in current Real Madrid which is doing impressive job.

If we predict according to the last 5 matches, Arsenal will be ahead. However, on 10 December, Fulham won a match against West Ham 5–0, while on 28 December, Arsenal lost the match 2–0 to West Ham. We cannot consider Fulham weak in this condition. But Arsenal will surely not want to miss their chance especially in this position. They lost the last match and missed the chance to go top and if they lose today they will be far behind. I think Arsenal will win today's match 3-1.

New Zealand's performance keeps going down the drain these days. They actually struggled so much for such a small score. On the other hand, Bangladesh is over-dependent on Miraz and Shoriful Islam.

The rest of their bowlers are pretty much useless. Am expecting Bangladesh to win the decider primarily thanks to these two.

But that does not eliminate the fact that they are still very weak in defense and in domestic competitions when 15 matches this season are passed and only get 4 win 1 draw and 10 defeat  make us know how weak they are now because the consistency is not going well.

Union fast-paced attacking scheme  has not changed, but the difference is that they are not able to finish well and the defense is still very poor because their focus is only on attacking makes it a little difficult for Union Berlin.

Now the match is still quite long because there is at least about 1 week more for them to prepare this well so that their performance against Freiburg which can be said to be a little better for them at this time runs smoothly especially Union focus is now only one, namely the Bundesliga so there is no reason to All out and get out of the zone that is not too comfortable in the standings.

I don't think Real Madrid would want him to stay, they already extended his contract with one year and it'll definitely come to an end in the next six months. This is time to see the youngins developing to get enough game time on the first team, he's still a high quality player but he honestly should leave. He's won it all even winning the Champions League and Ballon d'or in general.

He's already been linked with a club like Al Nassr twice this very season. I won't be boggled seeing the Crotian Captain, linking up with his country man ( Brozovic ) and former teammate and five times Ballon d'or award winner ( Cristiano Ronaldo )

I don't know about Toni Kroos too well but I can remember he also signed a one year contract extension with Real Madrid.

Found something hilarious from the recently concluded Australia vs Pakistan test which you don't get to see everyday.

The camerman seriously ruined their fun by zooming in on them instead of focusing on the match itself. They probably aren't even a couple anymore. Crazy stuff!

India women's player Deepti Sharma performed very well as she picked up five wickets alone. He single-handedly put Australia Women under a lot of pressure from the bowling side as they managed just 233 runs in 48 overs. Deepti Sharma took 5 wickets with 38 runs in 10 overs which was the biggest performance for the Indian team. Although the Australia women's team is under wicket pressure but the run rate has collected enough. Of course today will be a competitive battle between the two teams.

This match is a big opportunity for Juventus to win against Roma, this is in order to get 3 points and close the gap with Inter. In this match, Juventus is very favored because it is playing at home, of course this will get a lot of support from its supporters and will be an encouragement for Juventus to achieve victory. In my opinion, Roma's back line still looks very weak and its performance is not optimal so it will be very easy for Juventus to score goals. However, Juventus also has to remain wary of Roma's attacks, because Lukaku and Dybala's attacks could be a bomberang for Juventus if they don't pay attention to the back line and take Roma's attacks lightly. It looks like this match will be a very exciting match to watch.

Australia Women team is still looking strong. As you have mentioned that Australia Women team performance was great in the last match. But I want to make some correction that the Australian women team won by 6 wickets not 5 wickets.
India gave the target of 283 runs and Australia chased the target with in 46.3 overs and lost only 4 wickets.
So I hope if Australia will play first turn and makes 250+ runs so this will be little bit difficult to chase by Indian women team. And if India will play first turn so they need to set a target of 300+ runs to probably win. My best wishes with Australian women team.

Juventus have more motivation for winning match against AS Roma tomorrow after Inter Milan losses three points and give chance to gap 2 points left if Juventus get three points. Opportunity for Juventus keep close their points with top standings team and make Scudetto tittle race more interested again behind 2 points left. Not get pressure yet for Juventus exactly playing after Inter Milan have losses points will make Juventus more confidence get three points against AS Roma and important thing their target how to make close points and keep in tittle race for this season. AS Roma difficult get three points when facing top teams and likely this match will be three points for Juventus and keep interested with Scudetto tittle race in this season between Inter Milan and Juventus.

I hope that one day Ligue 1 will be able to create a competitive match with other teams that are able to compete with PSG. PSG is very strong in the league and it can make them almost never depressed against other teams in the league. Although he had experienced one defeat, but it could not be used as a reference that said there was a strong team in Ligue 1 that was able to defeat PSG. So the PSG match with Real Sociedad will be interesting to watch.

Real Madrid is 100% focusing on Mbappe and this has nothing to do with how they cummincate the case in public. There is no reason for them to inform the public every few weeks whether they are still interested in signing Mbappe. Frankly, what is the chance that Real Madrid would not be after the best player in the world anymore? He is definitely one of Real Madrid's target, but they know that it is probably the most complicated transfer of them all.

I can say that this is Atletico Madrid's last chance to close the 7-point gap and take the top four places in the league. Atlético Madrid must definitely defeat Girona in this match. I don't think they will have any problems with their self-confidence after doing this so much in the past. If they have luck, they can easily beat Girona.

Possession statistics show us that Arsenal have a clear advantage. I expected this from Arsenal, too, but I didn't expect them to concede a goal. They could not prevent Soucek's goal and fell behind 1-0 in the match. There is nothing impossible for Arsenal, they have to play better. I guess they don't want to give away the leadership to other teams like last year.

Sad to see India going downhill these days in literally every format. The new gen players aren't really exciting and lack a lot when compared to legends like Virat, Rohit, Bumrah etc in my opinion.

Also, Shami should have been a part of the bowling lineup instead of Krishna or Shardul since we all know how devastating he can be in literally every format.

See who laughs last now, some people were mocking Guardiola for incompetence and not winning games like before but I guess he said what he said and keep to th promised, I doff my hat for him for keeping to what he promised earlier. If they didn't win that match, the rate at which they will receive mockery will be high but now they are now among the top 4, more wins should get them there but I don't want them near Arsenal as I want them to win the season league but I'm not selfish, I want to see Manchester City in the next Champions League.

Everton pressurized Manchester City, the first half was all about Everton even I don't expect much from them as they turned up but it was great to see some tackles and improve in their style. It was even the equalized goal that change the game of Manchester City else they would have lost that yesterday. It was Foden that catapults their ginger that accelerate them but it's all good. If Everton play their next match the way they played Manchester, they will not only be free from relegation, they might come close to 6th or 7th place for Europa or conference.
