For now everything remains unchanged and if anything new comes into effect it will not be earlier than next year. So the upcoming season stays as it was the format remains the same and I think there is no point in discussing it yet. Even if you look at how the new format affected the Champions League in my opinion it got worse. Because the weaker teams have completely lost any chance of getting out of the group. They almost always stay at the bottom of the table and I assume they will just start losing interest in this tournament.
Even though it is quite true that we are not going to see this changing, we should realize that we are not going to get that much change on the UCL part. Premier league would be terrible because less teams would mean there would be less chances of smaller teams doing better, more teams means even smaller teams could beat other smaller teams, and have a go at the midtable teams, and if they do alright, they turn out to be like Nottingham forrest did this season. That would be gone. But UCL is different, you make nearly 30 million euro from just being in the group there, and most teams in Europe that are low level, do not make that much money from their ticket sales, tv rights or even jersey sales. So being in the group, is still a lot of money, even if they end up losing all the games. Consistently being there means more to them than win a single game.

I share the same thoughts as you. I feel that Juventus did the best thing to fire Motta because the club is losing its momentum and before you know it, they might go down the table. However, hiring Igor Tudor is not a guarantee that he can maintain the fourth position till the end of the season.
What do you expect the management of a club that is as big as Juventus not being sure if they can make it to the Champions League after two consecutive humiliations by clubs that they're stronger than in previous seasons. A change of coach will be the only option, because it seems Motta is not getting it right in Juventus.
I agree that firing Motta was the right decision, I just don't know about the timing. This is too close to end of the season and they are at a sensitive part of the season, if we can do this then we could have a great period with Juventus finally doing awesome and then finishing higher. But this is too late into the season and Tudor do not have that much time left, so I do not think it would be easy, he will have hard time fixing what the team is doing right now. Firing Motta was a late move, and maybe they shouldn't have done it for now, sure sack him right away as soon as the season ends, but doing it right now seems like a mistake to me, a risky move that may not give much fruit in the end neither.

According to the bookies, Atletico Madrid is the favorite to win their next game against Espanyol, but I do not believe they will have an easy win. According to H2H, Espanyol has a winning record against Atletico Madrid, this season, as well, Atletico Madrid failed to win the first leg at home despite having the advantage of scoring a lot of goals. Atletico Madrid has won two and drew three of their previous five meetings. It was very surprising because they should be able to beat Espanyol with lots of goals in the first meeting.
Atletico Madrid must give their best to defeat Espanyol in an away game next week or their opportunities of winning the league would be lost. However, I don't think I can bet on Atletico Madrid to win Espanyol in an away game after they failed to score a single goal in the first meeting at home. It's best to avoid the game because Atletico's recent form has been unpredictable.
H2H never tells the whole story. When you look at H2H, you will see last year, and if you look even more games, you can see the year before that, in 2023 and all that. So that doesn't talk about how the teams are today, and doesn't make sense. Atletico Madrid is by far the better team and they should be getting the win easily, anything other than an easy win, is a mistake and they shouldn't be really doing anything that prevents this. I get that betting exists because there is always a chance that they can't always win their games, and we have seen them lose before recently so that means the possibility is definitely out there. But we do not bet on the off-chance, or maybe some people do but I don't do that normally.

The derby will be waiting for us on the return of the national matches.Beşiktaş will host Galatasaray at home.We can say that the importance of this match will be important for not 2 but exactly 3 teams.If Beşiktaş wins this match, it will still be able to continue the race for 3rd place.If Galatasaray wins, we can probably say that they are now champions.If Galatasaray loses points here, we can say that there will be a chance for Fenerbahçe again.The importance of this match is of great importance in terms of determining the fate and course of the league.
i see galatasaray as the clear champion now. first of all, fenerbahçe is not a team that has the spirit to come from behind and become champion. if we had beşiktaş behind us, i would think differently. besides, even if galatasaray loses the derby, there is still a point difference. i don't think 4 points is something that fenerbahce can close. in the same situation if fenerbahce was ahead and galatasaray was behind, many people would say that galatasaray could be the champion. Most places on oddmakers do. Galatasaray managed to not fail and keep winning and that allowed them to keep the point gap going. For that one game, when they got a draw, there were some questions like if they can continue to be good or will they have trouble. But seeing how Fenerbahce also got a tie, and the point gap is back up again, this close to end of the season, it would be very silly to expect Fenerbahce to have many chances like this, they should have used it and they failed, so I do not expect them to have something big here, it feels like they lost their chance already. Galatasaray could still lose points, but not only I do not expect them to lose that much, but I also do not expect Fenerbahce to win all games.

No FA Cup, No EFL Cup and a 13th place in the PL. So yes, this is really the worst year recently for Manchester United.  Amorim is feeling all the pressure over himself. Now there is only the Europa League left in hand. Do you think they will get to the trophy there? The last time they did it was 2016 with Mourinho. In the same year they finished the PL in 6th place. It looks like Amorim doesn't have much of a choice now. If no trophy there too then his future will be at a bigger risk. Tottenham and them are both teams we should be seeing in much better places in the league certainly. Really stressful days are waiting for Ange and Amorim... Both aim the Europa League trophy now. While I do agree on how United sucks so far and Amorim couldn't figure out a way to fix the team, it would be unfair to suggest David Moyes is a better manager. Switch places and put Amorim at Everton and put Moyes at United, and the results wouldn't be too far off, it would still be similar, because Everton doesn't have something fundamentally wrong with them, they are just a smaller club and this is what they can do, not like they are a team that normally spend enough to win the title but playing bad now. United IS a team like that, we are talking about a team that spends as much as almost any team, and yet still suck. There is something wrong there, which no manager fixed, and until whatever that is broken is fixed, no manager will be helpful.

Bayern Munic beating of Bayern Leverkusen in the Champions League is a confirmation that there is no club left to stop them from winning the Bundesliga this season. Bayern Leverkusen was the team we felt could be a threat to them but seeing how they humiliated then in the UCL, it is almost certain that no team will be playing with the optimism that they will win Bayern Munic. Although most of Bayern Munic resources will be channeled towards the Champions League, they will still want to maintain their great records in the Bundesliga by winning it and suffering minimal setbacks.
It is smart to conclude that Bayern Munich is the best team in the league at the moment, we can definitely see that as a possibility. However, they are not that much better, sure they are better but by a hair, and that means they need to be careful. The league is still not over, and even one loss would bring the whole league and title chase to a single game. Which, nobody can guarantee won't happen, Bayern will 99.99% win the league, but they are not winning it by a large margin. Considering the economic gap between them, I would say the gap of points should be providing some proof of that, but it is not showing any sign of big difference like the finances suggests. This is why we need to grow and get a lot better.

It's very necessary to say that your ability to explore the best part of these chat bots is how best you can arrange your questions and prompts, if you know how to generate good prompts, you will get good responses. I have tried DeepSeek too like I tried ChatGPT, and ChatGPT still offers a better interface design and smooth response. DeepSeek may probably be more smarter in giving response at the barest minimal of question twisting and intelligence, but it is still important for DeepSeek to work on their interface to enable easygoing activities particularly in terms of formatting of texts and responses.
ChatGPT platform is generally stable and its interface is simple and stylish, in my opinion it is a few steps ahead of Deepseek. In terms of Privacy and Data Usage, I can put both of them in the same bag, there is no difference in this regard. People have formed certain habits in Chatgpt usage and I think that the majority of users are satisfied with this situation with the data they have collected so far. I do not think that users who are satisfied with ChatGPT will prefer DeepSeek. It is miles better than deepseek, not just a bit. What people who are not in AI doesn't realize is that deepseek took the opensource part of chatgpt back when it was opensource, had the code, and worked on top of it, so they have managed to cut the costs by a large amount thanks to chatgpt itself. But what you can see from results, by simply asking the same question to both of them, you will see how it is different. Chatgpt has 4.5 as their latest ow, and comparing to what deepseek has, the difference is huge, and that is not what chatgpt even has as latest within the company, they have 5, just not to public yet. Deepseek can't keep spending this little amount, and ever imagine catching the level of Chatgpt ever, they need to increase their funding.

Como is one of the promoted teams that has performed much better than the other two teams and perhaps what is interesting about Como is how Fabregas can provide much better results by relying on existing strengths. This is almost difficult to achieve by other promoted teams because they usually find it much more difficult to survive in the Serie-A after successfully getting a promotion ticket.
This season what they need to do is survive in Serie-A and Fabregas must make every effort to maintain that opportunity. So that in the next season they can try to bring in some players needed to make the competition more interesting. i don't follow Como football club and i cant give an opinion on this team. It's certainly not in the lower part of the table and therefore it will most likely save itself without any particular problem. Then if i am not mistaken the ownership has really spent a lot of money for this team The short story; the new ownership that took over the team, paid a good sum of money to make them promote to Serie A, and spent even more to keep them at Serie A, but they are looking for a way to just keep spending a certain amount and not much more. Which means, they can't spend enough to win a title, that is not going to happen, they are not some 100+ million a year rich oil whatever that we have seen with PSG or City, so this is a limited amount. Fabregas managed to make some transfers to spend that money for players that could look decent. It's looking like COMO will be a decent part of Serie A for the upcoming period, and while they will continue to lose games, they will win enough to stay and that is all they care, as long as they are far away from relegation, they are happy.

Amorim was brought in for longterm and he will have 2-3 seasons at least. He got the position in the worst possible time and with this kind of players he is doing the maximum. If he is able to win the europa league this season will be a good season for them. This is the only thing that can save their season so far. Even if he dosent win it i dont think he will be sacked.
The Europa League this year for United is something that can turn the season around and turn it from unsuccessful to successful, since getting the title + a ticket to the Champions League while being in the bottom half of the standings is the maximum possible. Thanks to the new format and low competition, this is quite possible - United's chances are currently estimated at around 18%. That is true, if they could somehow manage to win the Europa league title then Amorim will have a lot more time and he will be considered great. However, Mourinho won this and yet he still was fired because more than anything else, the league title matters, and how it is going at the moment matters. Look at ETH, he was a terrible manager, but he has a third place, an EFL cup and a fa cup under his belt, even though he won all of those, he is still considered a terrible manager. Because the time he got sacked, United wasn't even in top 10. Which means, even if you win something, in this case Amorim with Europa league, if next season they are still not even in top ten, he will be fired too. He has to do better next season.

Just to be clear, i didn’t invest in it based on hype. I got the hint that Binance would list it which was what prompted me. Who buy tokens based on hype these days ?
Of course! Otherwise, it just means you didn’t study the project before investing. But hype is crucial for attracting investors. And the fact that you have a hint it might be listed on Binance, that's already part of the hype. These days, when a project gets listed on Binance, it almost always experiences an automatic pump in the early days of trading. So, the best move is to buy early into a hyped project with real potential.. instant profit that way. The hype that is required to make a token early is not something that is guaranteed. There are plenty of stuff that got some hype and then ended up just losing the hype and losing everything. I have seen many results where people invested early and then lost bunch of money. If you do not want to lose money that way, then early investment requires a ton of research and a lot of courage and risk taking. If you are right, then you are going to end up making a lot of profit and you will think this is a great idea. But, if you are wrong then you are going to lose money with the same exact strategy, in which case you will think you made a mistake and do not want to do it again. This is quite important part of the strategy, being right.

 They are still claiming that Messi is re-signing for Barcelona in the summer of 2026. What do you think about the reliability of this? I liked the plan of coinciding his signing with the time of their returning to Camp Nou though.  The fans would love the idea as well but I still can't trust these sources completely... Normally I was also hoping to see his jubilee at Barcelona instead of his childhood team Newell's Old Boys or somewhere else. Watching him side by side with Yamal for some games sounds quite interesting. But probably this will stay as a rumour only. I feel like he will end his career in the USA. He already owns the MLS.  I doubt that would be real, Barcelona period of Messi is already done and he is not coming back, for no amount of money. It is not about money, it is not about paying him a lot or paying him very little, it is about how he doesn't have any trust left in the management, that is why he left and that is why he won't comeback ever again. It is like saying Ronaldo could go back to United, we all know that won't happen ever again. New stadium or not, Messi is happy at MLS at the moment, he isn't even doing much, he is way over talented for that league, and just having fun, making bunch of money, and relaxing. He is basically actively retired, sure he still goes out and plays, but it is more like just Sunday football with friends for him at this point compared to some competition.

Como is like other small clubs with many difficulties from finance to player resources. With those clubs, each summer transfer season is a very big challenge for them, as they have to let many players go like in loan expirations, sales to bigger clubs, and rebalance their club finance. These things make many wild changes in their player resources and success in the past season is not a foundation for their success next season when some clubs have 80% new players in a next season for example.
Como has been playing well in this season but they will face with uncertain and chaotic summer that can help them to improve their squad or witness its quality decline. We only can know how it goes after a next season passes several months and Como perform with their new squad.
Como is doing fine at the moment, better than expected at least, but that doesn't mean we are seeing Cesc Fabregas at a "bigger" club that quickly. Just because he had one semi-decent team doesn't mean that he is going to be at a big level already. He had one season at this level, so he needs a bit more experience before he leaves for a better team. What happened to Vincent Kompany changed everyone's perspective, everyone saw him manage one bad English team to relegation and move to Bayern Munich, so now whenever a new manager does decent with a bad team, they assume a big club will get that manager. What happened to Vincent Kompany was not normal, in normal cases we do not end up with these kind of moves.

LOL It's a bit strange when you don't put Manchester United into the Europa League competition this season even though the team has never lost in the Europa League this season until entering the quarter-finals. And if you can't see that, maybe you need to wash your face so you can see clearly what I said because when talking about ability and strength, Tottenham is even worse than Manchester United in their own domestic league. While Atheletic Club, Lazio, Lyon and Frankfurt are also not really strong teams this season if we look at them in their respective domestic leagues. So it's a bit odd that you started ignoring Manchester United in the Europa League title race this season and I thought you were someone who didn't like Manchester United.  So you mean Manchester United is a team that must be considered to win the Europa League title? Now Manchester United is in the quarter-finals and they are undefeated but I don't think Manchester United will be overly favored because their overall performance is not that strong and also consistent so Manchester United is still the same as other teams in terms of percentage and overall also some teams have the same strength so they have the same chance to win the Europa League title this season. Some people will consider them good, and they always look at historical results, h2h and other stuff. But in reality, we have seen them be terrible at premier league and everyone is just waiting to see when their terrible premier league results will show itself at Europa league as well. While some of the teams they faced are simpler teams than premier league teams, and I agree that premier league is one of the most competitive leagues in the world, that doesn't mean they will keep on facing easier teams. They will face some big teams, and considering United sucked at the league for the whole year, if they face some good team, they may end up losing points and that is very important for everyone to remember how they are terrible.

It's not the interest rating of the US$ which makes the US Currency so popular. It's the falling currencies of the nations not living under Euro or Dollar domains.
Do you think that this is one of the reasons why countries wish to be independent from the US dollar? We don't live under Euro and Dollar domains and our currency is getting weaker but despite everything, people want to be near to US and EU as much as possible. It's a little bit strange but my country tries to become more dependent on US and Euro instead of getting rid of it. The reason why we want this is that US and EU countries are rich. After the fall of the soviet union, lots of people migrated to the EU and the US. They managed to build a better life in these countries and they also managed to send money to our country to help their mothers, fathers and relatives. Because of this, our country sticks with the US dollar and I feel sometimes shocked when other countries try to get rid of the dollar or Euro and join BRICS. It is not just about Soviet Russia, all the poor people in the world who have something to provide, ended up in bigger and better nations. Plus, resources do matter, and military do matter as well, political stability also matters a lot. Even when presidents were assassinated, law still got uphold in USA or most of Europe, whereas in Africa, or Asia, and specially in Latin America, there were chaos ever few decades, that made them even poorer. No matter what you do, no matter what a politician can do, some poor African town with barely one source of clean water, can't get the improvement, even a thousand years ago Europe was better, it is just geolocation that makes it so hard, it is not just personal improvement alone. People say white people in south Africa build a great life for themselves whereas blacks didn't, so it must be race or culture, but they forget, white could take the resources and send it to Europe and get rich, blacks can't, those type of differences caused USD and EU to end up being valuable, because the nations are powerful.

I think the purpose of these possible transfers is so that Arteta has funds for further transfers this summer in the off-season. Arteta can't win the Premier League, they are constantly missing something, Arteta apparently thinks that the problem is with some players, that some positions require strengthening, but he spent a lot of money in previous seasons, apparently further funding will be impossible without selling some players that Arteta does not count on.
Seriously i am not against the idea of selling players to raise fund because basically most of those players i mentioned are supposed to leave the club by next summers. My issue is on the fact that the club should also support Arteta with extra funds. Money Arteta might get from the players sold will not be enough to get all the players he wants in this team. The player's Arsenal is interested as of now will cost them up to 60m to 80m euros, imagine signing like 4 players i doubt the money will be enough for Arteta. In fact, i don't see any point of singing players if they can't afford to sign the players, they want then they end up signing players with equal strength with the players they sold. Nobody in the world is against selling players to raise funds for more transfers. They would be against selling certain players, because you may sell 10 and nobody would care but you sell one important player and suddenly it's a big deal. For example, if they decide to sell Saka like people assume, then people would be mad, because Saka is a great player and if they can make 100+ million on him, which would be insane amount to say no to, it would still piss fans off, and they may not be able to recover form that unless they spend their money on better players. I have no clue who they are going to sell to raise funds, and I have no clue who will replace, but we have to wait and see the results before we judge. If they win the title next year, then it was a good decision, if they are second again, it was unimportant decision (not bad not good), if they are worse than second place, it was a bad decision.

I consider Liverpool champions already because with 12 points gap and only nine games to play I don’t see a possibility of Liverpool slipping away not like Arsenal are going to win all their remaining matches even so for me the title race has ended already just give Liverpool the trophy. Can I call Arne Slot successful? Yes why not. He got to the league cup finals, got to Champions League knockout and if he achieved the league title ofcourse he has a successful season.
You are free to call Liverpool champions but it has not been official or certain yet because they are still 9 matches to play and anything can be possible. I doubt if there's any team that can try to challenge Liverpool again in the premier league because it almost over, the moment Arsenal loses 2-3 or draw and Liverpool wins then it will be official and Liverpool will be handed over the premier league trophy but for the main time it is not yet over untill it is over. And yes it has been a great season for Liverpool even though they fucked up in the EFL cup. We can't really say anything shocking would happen though? Can we? Look at the league situation, plus Liverpool is out of everything else, so they only have the league games which means they are going to rest, Arsenal still has some games left outside of the league. There is no way that a very well rested Liverpool would lose that many points whereas Arsenal would end up with all wins, so we can easily say that Liverpool will win the league. Sure it looks like we are not going to see that becoming a mathematical reality for a while longer, we need it to become mathematically possible first. However, just because math doesn't say it is done, doesn't make it any more competitive, we could see how the league is already done.

Although, PSG once beat the incredible Manchester City side of 2021 in the group stage 2 - 0, yeah at that time Mbappe, Messi and Neymar were all playing for PSG then, I think Messi even scored in that game, I really can't totally remember though. Although, City beat them 2 - 1 in the return leg. But like you said, PSG didn't dominate the match, it was Manchester that dominated even though they lost 2 - 0 in that very game. In my opinion, PSG has the tendency of going far in this season, if I'm not mistaken they might actually eliminate Real Madrid that's if both of them gets to meet in the SF.
Even with the squad quality PSG had at that time they were not playing as good as this current PSG team under Luis Enrique are playing. I also believe that if this current team are to play Real Madrid in the semi finals of the Champions League there is a huge possibility that they can win the round though Real Madrid are also very good in the Champions League so it will be a good and entertaining game to watch. The whole messi, neymar, mbappe period of PSG was actually a good and decent one. But the funny thing is, they lost all three of them and now they are looking a lot stronger, beating the leader of group stages to come here against Villa, and most likely expectation that they will also beat Villa as well. We are saying they are going to face Real Madrid in semi finals, but we still do not know if Real Madrid will manage to beat Arsenal. Of course whenever Real Madrid plays someone, we always assume that they have a chance to win, and this could be like we assume and Madrid could beat Arsenal, but there is no guarantees in football. The matchup could very well be Arsenal vs Villa too, who knows? But most likely it would be Madrid vs PSG.

I won't support the idea of Osimhen going to Chelsea, at least not after the insult and disappointment Chelsea made him go through last summer. If that young man wants to have a good and exciting career in the premier league, he should sign for Arsenal if they come calling for his services. The move will benefit him and the club very well. Arsenal at present are more Ambitious than Chelsea and Manchester United , and I'm sure Osimhen coming to the premier league is not to come here and be chasing top 4 finish as top priorities, as Chelsea and Manchester United have been reduced to that in recent years. Osimhen need to be in a team that are hungry for silverwares but they are lacking that finishing touches to get the job done. Arsenal will still pay him well. Liverpool is also a good place to consider, should they want to discard Núñez.
It is not surprising that Osimhen is attracting so much attention now, he is currently leading the scorers race in the Turkish League and this is to his advantage, in the off-season he can choose a more suitable club for himself than Galatasaray, if you believe the rumors, he is interested in moving to Juventus, I think this is understandable because he is well acquainted with Serie A, and as for the Premier League, it is not yet clear how his game will go there, but this season has shown that he is able to adapt to different championships. There was a period where he didn't do amazingly, which made people question him for maybe one month at most. Afterwards, he just started scoring like candy, every single game. Most recently he had a hattrick, and didn't even used the penalty, if he did, he would have four goals in the same game. So, all the big teams are seeing how great he is playing at the moment and just imagine him at their striker position at their club and willing to pay 75 million to make that a reality. We should also realize how inflation impacted football world too, 75 million would have been an insane number back in the day, but these days we see multiple 75+ million deals every summer. This should not be impossible for some big club to get him, very cheap for them.

The issue would have affected his performance if not that he is a player that has the determination to find his strength even at his weakest, we even thought his best will be only on Napoli but what he has proven in Galatasaray is more amazing than in Napoli, though he won some high awards in Napoli but his appearance in Turkish league was more than his Italian serie A, so just like the golden Boot he won on the Italian he would also win the same on this league with Galatasaray because he is the highest scorers of the league currently, so is a very rare award for a newcomer to win in the league he has just arrived for a year, perhaps he could have still win the next golden Boot if not for his leaving this year.
It is true that a newcomer is rarely seen as golden boot, normally not many players have their rookie season in a league and end up being the top scorer. But this is Osimhen we are talking about, dude is valued at 75 million, that is his release clause and he will be sold for 75 million eventually, this summer. The general "a player won't be top scorer on their first year at this league" thing is not for players who worth more than most teams in the league, he is worth more than 50%+ of the clubs, and I mean entire clubs. So it wasn't really a shock to anyone who watched him play before, if he failed to score this much, it would have been problem for other players in Galatasaray to not be able to feed him well, but they did and he scored a bunch.
