Tonight's match between Crystal Palace and Brighton is a bit tricky to predict. You see, Brighton has been playing really well lately, and they seem to be in better form than Crystal Palace right now. If we look at their past games against each other, it suggests that the match might end in a draw. However, there's a chance that Crystal Palace could come out looking strong, especially since they're playing on their home turf. It's been a while since they've had a victory, so they might be extra motivated to win tonight.Still, based on what I've seen, I can't confidently say that Crystal Palace will beat Brighton. The game could go either way, and it's going to be interesting to see how it all unfolds on the field.
Crystal Palace has already taken the lead few minutes before half time despite the fact that Brighton was dominating because they have more ball possession than Palace even though Palace is creating more attempts than them which has given them a goal before the first half. Although I also expect a draw in this match considering how their statistics is showing, and for the fact that Palace was able to do a comeback against Manchester City last week, and Brighton lose to Arsenal, so almost all of them are in need of points. But at the moment Crystal Palace is still more dangerous in Brighton's box. For Brighton this game is important to get back on track after they couldn't win two games in a row. The game against Arsenal was expected to be a loss, but before that they tied a game against Burnley, which was bad already and now they are again behind against a team from the lower part of the table. That would seriously damage their plans to qualify for the Europa League, which I think could be a realistic goal for them if they play their best. They are not good enough for the top four though. |

This should be an easy victory for Real against Alaves , especially when h2h record is 9-1 for Real Madrid and I also expect them to win with at least 2 goals difference. There is also a possibility for a draw here but that should make Girona very happy and build more confidence inside that team.
An easy victory, I don't know. It should be a victory yes, but these games sometimes require patience more than anything else when one team is parking the bus. But under normal circumstances time should solve the problem when Alaves becomes tired slowly. Real Madrid has the chance to finish the season before this winter break at the top of the table. They can get an equal number of points as Girona, but they have the better goal difference. I am not sure if it's the goals or the h2h duel between Girona and Real Madrid, but they got that covered as well. |

I understand if Osimhen would like to leave Napoli and go to Arsenal as that opens the door for him to the best league in the world and to play in the Champions League next season. I doubt that Chelsea will qualify for the Champions League. It could still be a great adventure for him and I guess he would earn more than he currently does at Napoli, but it would not be real progress for him. Chelsea is not one of those clubs that dominate European football anymore. But it would make sense if he misses the CL with Napoli and has to leave anyway if he wants to go to the Premier League, but would Arsenal really be interested in him?
Indeed Victor Osimhen want to leave Napoli next season I don't heard with transfer update from Arsenal have official bid offer for signing him, there are not any teams give official bid offer for Napoli to sign Osimhen. I don't sure with many top teams are interested for signing Victor Osimhen but they can't give official bid offer with high transfer fees and make Napoli will priority which on team are seriously for signing their player. For Napoli not really important about teams interested with Osimhen participants in Champion League or not but depend on which one teams give higher fees transfer. For winter transfer window seems bit difficult for Osimhen leaves Napoli, I think next season will see which one team have bigger chance for signing Osimhen will Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United or Real Madrid. I think there is no point in making a bid yet as both sides are waiting to see how Osimhen develops over the coming months. Napoli is of course hoping that he will soon continue to score all the time and that would give them a better position for any negotiations. But who knows, maybe some clubs have their eyes on him and wouldn't be sad if he doesn't do too well until they can come up with a smaller offer than what was initially asked as a transfer fee. But the question is whether Osimhen is good enough to strengthen a top team. I don't know. He is a good striker, but is he world class? |

I think Damac's performance this season has improved a lot. Last season, Damac also finished in 8th place, which indicates that Damac's squad is one of the best in the SPL. And now Damac also has a number of points close to Al-ittihad. Because Damac is currently ranked 6th and is 1 point different from Al-ittihad which is ranked 5th. Meanwhile, Al-ta'ee is far below Damac. Namely, Al-Ta'ee is currently ranked 13th. Added to this is the position of Damac who will be the host of today's match. So I think there is no reason to hesitate in favoring Damac in this match.
I believe that its both a bit Damac playing well but also a bit Ittihad not playing that well too. We are talking about Ittihad who spent so much money getting all the great players and then playing this badly. Ittihad should be like within 5 points of the title, and if possible should have been top of the standings as well, not where they are. So if Damac is close to Ittihad, that is because Damac played well that's true but also because Ittihad has played terribly this season so far as well. It's not even just about getting stars, its about building a whole team, Damac did that, and even without Neymar look at his team? That's the thing about football, no matter how many stars you have, if there isn't a team that plays together, you will lose. Al Ittihad is only the fourth most valuable club in the Saudi Professional League, they are behind Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli. It's funny how some of the clubs pay more salary to a single player than their whole squad is worth  That doesn't sound to me as if it was making a lot of sense. Al-Nassr is worth around 165 million euros and Ronaldo alone earns 200 million I think? The same is going on with Al-Ittihad and Benzema. It's ridiculous in my opinion and shows how far off they are with their salaries. |

Passing week 17, Paris Saint Germain can be at the top of the standings comfortably, being 5 points above Nice, the club closest to them. with a 5-point advantage in Ligue 1 it will be very difficult to catch up, especially those who have that advantage are Paris Saint Germain who are the strongest club in Ligue 1.
I think they will be able to continue to be comfortable there. Their focus is on the Champions League, because in the last few seasons the Champions League has been their main goal. But in Ligue 1 itself for them it is easy, because there is no club that can really rival them at this time. Nice, who were good at the start of the season, have in fact declined and are now below them.
Nice is a contender for the Ligue One title but that doesn't portrayed any threat, they're just enlisted as any othe random mediocre club in Ligue One this season. It's almost the end of the year and there's strong probability of these clubs keeping to stellar performance. There's no club that can stand in the same ring to challenge Paris Saint Germain for the league title this season. It's really tough for these clubs to stand out to face energy with PSG who's on fire this season. Luis Enrique always makes sure he's team doesn't hold back when they face average clubs and they always make good use of their chance. Maybe at the start of last season Nice could be said to be a strong contender because it looked very stable but after playing matches until half of this season it seems that Nice has started to show inconsistency and this has often happened since the last few seasons but we all don't know what future holds for Nice even though This is just an ordinary club but at least it has proven to compete competitively with PSG and for me only more worthy challengers are Marseille and Monaco but unfortunately Marseille has lost its strength since the start of the season while Monaco has actually tried its best but in fact it is still unable to compete with Nice. The journey to this match is still very long and there are still many obstacles that will be faced while mbappe is still at PSG the future of this club looks very bright. I am wonderign why some here believe that Nice was a strong contender only because they had some good results for a while, but how likely was it that they would keep winning their games 1-0 for a whole season? I was pretty sure that they would get into some trouble rather sooner than later. This minimalistic style barely wins anyone the title. It is way more often that games start to not end well some time during the season, and now the time has come for them to lose some games, too. |

Real Madrid hasn't even made a big centre-forward transfer for this season. They are making do with Rodrygo and Joselu but still their condition is very good. Because they get a good level of score contribution from their attacking players. I mean especially Bellingham as he is top scorer in the La Liga as well now. Rodrygo has also been in form in the recent times.  Ancelotti's system is working really well. I think they even have nearly the same chance with Manchester City for the Champions League title. Because Manchester City look a little problematic recently. While Real Madrid are playing more dedicatedly we never know what happens in case of a matchup between these 2 teams. But they could never know that someone like Bellingham would out of a sudden turn into this mysterious super striker midfielder defensive extreme action phenomenon. I am still blown away by his performance for the team. I counted down the games and thought that his score statistics must decrease. But they didn't. That's really giving goose bumps for a soccer fan. I think he can become the best in the world if this doesn't stop. Yes whenever I also thought like he would start to score less often he just continued to score goals like a real striker. He is really like a centre-forward rather than a midfielder recently. Back at Dortmund he was even a central midfielder and he wasn't scoring this many goals in a season. But here Ancelotti started to use him as an attacking midfielder and even rarely as a centre-forward. Now he is making the biggest score contribution to Real Madrid. He is in his first season maybe but he is already one of the most critical players of the team. Real Madrid would never like to let him go to another team. Was ist that Ancelotti used him intentionally as some kind of center forward or did Bellingham begin to interpret his role on the field differently and then it turned out how dangerous he is at scoring? I can't recall whether Ancelotti wanted him to play that way or whether he decided to go for it and then it went so well for him that Ancelotti gave him maximum freedom. But whatever the case was, every team can only wish for a player like Bellingham who is so strong in literally any position and movement on the pitch. |

Well Betis droping from Europa League when they ahve the ticket in their pocket and lose it in the last part of the game against Rangers, and now they have a very fiercer rival in Conference League, the Dinamo Zagreb is not a joke, they are not in his best level but is a team who knows how to play at high level.
If that was Dinamo from a year ago, then I would agree with you that Betis will have a hard job, but unortunately that's not the case anymore. This summer Dinamo sold 3 out of 4 best players and the replacements were mostly bad (the only expection being Kaneko) so unfortunately I expect this to be an easy job for Betis (if they actually show up with their best team). On the other hand, Real Betis vs Dinamo Zagreb is a tense match because in my opinion Dinamo Zagreb is still better than Real Betis and yes I want to see them go further through this round of 16.
How to tell me that you haven't watched any Dinamo games this season without telling me that you haven't watched any Dinamo games this season. Yeah i know the performance of Dinamo Zagreb is down the pipe, i was following them since the start of the european qualifiers, and i see them losing the Champions qualy and the europa league one also, so since that time i know they are not in the same shape as always, but anyways they can wake up and become again a hard team to beat, like the surprises they gave when they destroy spurs in Zagreb a few years back. I count myself into the category of people who don't think too positively about the Conference League because it feels like a competition that is organized just because there is more money to be made. Now opinions can differ whether money is the best argument for everyone involved. I don't know how much the clubs get from the cake. But I must say that there are a few interesting games to be played here. I think Union Saint-Gilloise vs. Frankfurt is the game with the strongest teams. Hopefully we have some great teams to make it to the final here. |

French League is certainly different from the Champions League and that's what we are so sure about it.
In the Champions League, there are many teams that invested money like PSG in their teams, and in the Champions League, it's much harder for any team including PSG to race with the other teams.
While in the French League, PSG got much better players than all other teams and this team is definitely the first hope for winning the title there.
PSG is only strong in Ligue 1 but their Champions League is still weak when facing other team. The quality of PSG player is no longer in doubt every season because many big star players have joined PSG but they have not been able to win the UCL trophy. In Ligue 1 PSG is quite strong, even this season they didn't start very well but now they have managed to lead the standings with a distance of 5 point from the second ranked team. Luis Enrique may need a lot of time to bring PSG to the UCL trophy because he needs to find more effective tactics when dealing with big teams like Manchester City. PSG has an opponent that may not be too strong for them, namely Real sociedad, but they should not underestimate the team from Laliga because this season the Laliga team was able to win the group in each group. The first leg will be played at PSG home ground so that PSG can use the first leg to bring down their opponent's mentality if they manage to beat them. I am afraid you are right, but I think Real Sociedad is still a team they can beat. But in Ligue 1 it is the same story as in some of the other leagues, if the best teams fail and only achieve a draw in their game, all others fail at the same time and can't put the favorites under pressure. PSG loses points, but in the end they won a point compared to Nice and Monaco. That is what makes the league boring. |

Lewandowski needs to move to Saudi or whatever place faster than he imagine, Barcelona doesnt suit good for him this season and he is becoming old. I think is a win-win transfer for everybody, for the player for Barcelona and for the Saudi league to count a new high value striker.
And how would it benefit Lewandowski if he moved to Saudi Arabia? You said he needs to do that, but what is the benefit for him? He isn't playing well in Barcelona, I agree. But he would not gain anything if he moved to Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo did, because money is everything to him. But there are people with a heart in their chest, listening to it. Money is not everything and after what happened to Ronaldo at Manchester United during his second spell at the club despite giving everything for Manchester United they were still not satisfied and treated him badly so all Ronaldo wanted was peace of mind and i am glad he found it in Saundi. Peace of win + More money is his reward and i am also glad someone United criticized is doing well for himself and his new club, he is the current highest goal scorer in the league. Lewandowski is old and soon his career will come to an end and we all know when a player is old they begin to criticize them and so leagues like saudi league, China league and other less competitive leagues is where they go to end their careers because they can’t keep up in European leagues anymore. Lewandowski will be valued more in Saudi or any of the above mentioned leagues he will even earn more money but since you said money is not everything he can choose to join other leagues or teams that will pay him less doesn’t necessarily need to join Saudi league if you think money is not everything. Most footballers opt for Saudi league so they can earn higher wages because they know they can’t play long anymore so they want to accumulate more money before retirement. There will be no work for them anymore after retirement so they just have to earn more for their families not for themselves. But why do you say that money isn't everything when in the end you admit that they go to Saudi Arabia because they can make more money? I don't care if someone is open about it and says he wants to make a lot of money and that is one reason why he is going to Saudi Arabia, but do you know these moments when something feels awkward when a player gives an interview telling the world that he loves the country and everyone knows it is about the money only? Ronaldo would have declined any offer paying him less than 100 million. I am pretty sure about that. I think he himself has never imagined to sign a contract with that salary. Of course he loves the country. If any sheikh decides to pay me 200 million a year, I am in love with Saudi Arabia as well. |

I agree if Osimhen may be interested to join Arsenal. This team already becomes a strong team that always compete for the title in each season. With some new players, Arsenal is very close with the title this season. As long as they can maintain good performance, their chance to win the EPL title is very opened. Arteta may try to negotiate for signing Osimhen, he needs more productive striker for their front line player. I saw Jesus can't perform very well this season, he isn't as productive as previous season. So it is not impossible that Arteta wants to sign a new striker.
Indeed. Arsenal meets the criteria of the dream team of Osimhen. Arsenal is competing for the EPL title, they are also playing in UCL knock-out phase. Arsenal has the chance to win the title of 2 popular competitions, specifically for EPL title. If Osimhen wants to join Arsenal, I believe Arsenal to be a more stronger team in the future.
Osimhen is linked with two big Premier League teams, these two teams are Chelsea and Arsenal. Arsenal want to improve their front line by bringing in new players in the winter transfer window and it is reported that Arteta has already bagged several striker names for them to recruit in the January transfer window. However, I think that Osimhen has a better chance of staying with Napoli for a long time because he just accepted the offer of a new contract extension that Napoli proposed last week. If Chelsea and Arsenal recruit Osimhen, they will definitely have to pay a lot to Napoli in the transfer market. Chelsea also needs an attacker who is aggressive in scoring lots of goals and Osimhen is their target. We'll see whether Osimhen will stay with Napoli for a long time after accepting a new contract offer or whether he still chooses to leave. He is quite a valuable asset for Napoli and he will be a big star if his intention is to stay with Napoli. I understand if Osimhen would like to leave Napoli and go to Arsenal as that opens the door for him to the best league in the world and to play in the Champions League next season. I doubt that Chelsea will qualify for the Champions League. It could still be a great adventure for him and I guess he would earn more than he currently does at Napoli, but it would not be real progress for him. Chelsea is not one of those clubs that dominate European football anymore. But it would make sense if he misses the CL with Napoli and has to leave anyway if he wants to go to the Premier League, but would Arsenal really be interested in him? |

Atl. Madrid is playing against Getafe today. How easy do you think this game will be for Atl. Madrid. Although Atl. Madrid has won in all it's 6 recent home matches while Getafe is found of playing draw in most of is recent away matches. How do you think the match will go?
It exactly what I was thinking that later happened in this game. I just posted it here to see people's opinion on this game. I know Atl. Madrid may not be able to defeat Getafe. Although the red card received by Savic S was part of the reason why Atl. Madrid may find it difficult to successfully win this match. Of course a red card can always greatly contribute to a defeat, but we are still talking about Atletico Madrid vs. Getafe and this is not to disrespect Getafe, but this game wasn't lost due to the red card. This game was lost because Atletico Madrid surprisingly messed up to play with the time during the final phase of the game. Everyone knows that this is one of the things that Atletico Madrid loves the most. Waste time, pretend to be injured, bring on new players, receive yellow cards for other shenanigans and now it was them who wasted a two goal advantage. Kind of hilarious. |

https://www.90min.com/posts/casemiro-ready-leave-manchester-united-januaryCasemiro has accepted to leave from manchester united in january. It seems like that there was no a problem between him and ten hag but casemiro sees moving to the SPL club is going to be the right choice for the future of his career since manchester united needs money to bring the nwe players to come in. Glad casemiro can make easy deal with united regarding it as he has also accepted an offer from saudi pro league club. He is waiting for the finalization of his transfer in january after the transfer window will be opened. Something most South Americans love to do is going back home to play their last games before retirement, and if this is true that Casemiro is leaving then his could be an early sign that days of hanging his boots are nearby but going to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 is definitely a money move to prepare for retirement off field!!! Btw him leaving gives an opportunity for the manager to mould this team how he likes but for christ sake let him make use of the scouts and not using emotions or past work experience to pick his players which has cost that club its reputation and dropping of points. I think those times are over ever since the Saudi Arabian clubs entered the stage and pay so much money, In the past you were right, there was some romance to going home where somebody came from, but those times are over. It is money, money, money, and then after a long time there is romance. I also liked the times when a player with an impressive career went back home, but today it is different. They know there is the potential money grab. And they go for it. |

Snip.
This draw is indeed worthy of Lille, because in terms of the game they can provide a fierce resistance to Paris Siant Germain, even though they have to wait until extra time to create a goal. Maybe we will think that this is a luck that Lile got, I can't say it's wrong because they might get luck at the last minute. But we also have to see how their efforts during the match resulted in a goal that might be related to luck. Actualy, this is an opportunity for Nice to get closer to Paris Sant Germain. But before that Nice also had to experience defeat when they traveled to Le Havre headquarters this week. Maybe lucky for Lille but not for PSG. One goal that Lille managed to get before the end of the match saved them from defeat, but PSG had to lose the victory they almost achieved due to a small mistake before the end of the match. This kind of luck is very rare because the opponent Lille faced was the top of the Ligue 1 standings, due to their tireless struggle, they managed to avoid defeat and managed to secure one point. This draw did not affect PSG's position at the top of the standings, but losing 2 points at Lille headquarters meant that PSG failed to increase the gap with Nice who were in second place. It is again one of those games that I think should not end this way if PSG played to the best of their abilities. If they want to manifest themselves as the awesome French team, this draw is not helping them. They should finally increase their performance and not leave it at 0:1 until the very last minute. Mbappe should decide the game way earlier and make sure that they are not just leading by one goal, which can be equalized any time with a lucky strike. |

yeah that's true but im sure that real madrid will not only win la liga. It will be winning UCL too. it's just the matter of time till real madrid will humiliate its opponents in UCL.
To achieve all that, I think Real Madrid still needs additional players. A minimum of 3 players are needed to fill the team's weaknesses, especially the striker and center back positions for the target of winning the UCL and La Liga. True but Ancellotti he will not be opting for this, we all know will continue to stick to this squad except there arise another injury woes but I guess they will be going for striker which is more likely Mbappe and Defenders next season Madrid trash Villarreal 4 goals to 1, now Girona will be hoping to win against Alaves today which is more likely for them in order to be sitting at the top of the league table again Real Madrid displayed a great performance yesterday to beat Villarreal heavily at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. For now, with Real Madrid's consistency, they are the favorite club to win the La Liga title this season, but Girona will want to win against Alaves to reclaim their no 1 position in the La Liga table. It is what I mentioned before. A team like Real Madrid knows that they just need to continue and at some time a team like Girona will make mistakes. The question is whether a team like Girona can strike back and start a new series of wins again. Otherwise I think the experience that Real Madrid has will also win them the title. |

There's no amount to loosing one of your best favorite life. LnBarcelona will not dare to sell one of their best player this summer, we know how cruel and confident Robert Lewandowski can do on pitch and the fans have hope in him to deliver in any game, he's the only player capable of winning and boosting goal scoring of Barcelona. Robert Lewandowski is old and he can't meet up the the high demands from the coach, the fans and also the club. He have to adjust, besides he's a top striker but his position comes with enough responsibilities to take care of. I think what speaks against this rumor is that Lewandowski already declined a huge offer from one club from the Saudi Professional League and he said that it is unlikely he will play there because Barcelona was one of his dreams and he wants to feel comfortable together with his family. I know that money can change peoples' minds, but I remember that he said something that sounded very definitive. Playing for Barcelona even when they are not in the best condition at the moment is probably connected to better life quality than playing in Saudi Arabia and he also has kids. Making the right choice for them as well is also important. |

The temporary break at UCL should give Real Madrid time to focus on finishing the competition in La Liga with Girona. So I also have hope that Madrid can catch up to Girona position more quickly. All that remains is to ensure the players because if some suffer injuries it will certainly be very ineffective in supporting Madrid aggression.
Meanwhile, other teams such as Atletico Madrid look very enthusiastic about tomorrow's match against Atletico Bilbao at San Mames. For Diego Simeone troops, this match is very important to create a gap with Barcelona, who had to accept defeat in yesterday's match by Girona. However, the enthusiasm of the Atletico Madrid players is not much different from that of the Bilbao players because their target is the same, namely wanting to bring down Barcelona and take over their position.
Well I think that Real Madrid is completely calm and they are ok with the situation because why should they not. There is one team now that is doing exceptionally well, but ask the question what is more likely? That Real Madrid maintains their level or that Girona maintains their level? And I think that is where the key for Real Madrid is to win the La Liga title at the end of the season. In my opinion it is more likely that Real Madrid will be very stable at this level throughout the season whereas Girona might experience some weaker games and lose points. What Girona has done is unbelievable and yet they only managed to win 2 more points than Real Madrid. That demonstrates how tough it is to stay ahead. Real Madrid are the contenders to win the La Liga title this season. Real Madrid have improved themselves a lot in this season. I believe that in 23/24 season, Real Madrid's talented players will be able to build their fortunes through hard work. As a Real Madrid fan, I expect every player to step forward with enthusiasm. Although Real Madrid are not at the top of the La Liga points table, Real Madrid want to change their points very soon. I never imagined that Girona, who are at the top of the points table with 41 points, can leave the big teams behind like this. Real Madrid started early enough to integrate very young, high potential players like Vinicius Junior, Camavinga and a few others while keeping players like Modric and Kroos to have the right balance in the team. I think they have done a better job in restructuring the squad and rejuvenating it. The Bellingham transfer is hard to describe and to be honest, I think this guy is really a present from the god of soccer. Really, how often does a player develop like that at such a young age and then also score like Bellingham? This has been a big surprise to me as I thought he would be a great transfer even if he only scored 25% of the goals he scored. But this was like a big jackpot for Ancelotti and Real Madrid. |

Lyon was able to collect 3 points today by beating Monaco ans so far this is their third winning this season and playing at Monaco home ground Lyon was playing under pressure but Lyon defensive lines were very discipline and they can managed their defense until the match ended and after several week always in the bottom of league standings finally Lyon can lifted up their position on 16th place and indeed as a caretaker Pierre Sage has been done well and now Lyon seems very optimistic they can able to avoiding relegation zone
Monaco has just gets their 4th loses this season and they were failed to overtake second place from Nice and i have to say probably Monaco will be out from the race with Nice and PSG this because Monaco performance was decline and from 7 latest matches Monaco only can able to gets 3 wins and although Monaco has change their manager but Adi Hütter was unable to bringing Monaco to playing consistent and they seems still make the same mistakes just like last season that Monaco was unable to managed their consistency
I saw some sequences of this game and wow, this was so important for Olympique Lyon as they could now have their first small winning streak this season. But Monaco should have won the game without a doubt. This was one of those notorious lucky punches. Lyon managed to get into the game better and better over time, but Monaco was the team with the chances although Lyon did do one thing very well, which was keeping Monaco at a distance from the Lyon goal. Monaco had a lot of attempts, but not really a lot of shots on target. Those three points are like gold for Lyon. |

PSG has a squad that is used to winning trophies at least in the domestic league and also, basically PSG is an elite French team and yes, of course they have a good winning mentality too . But unfortunately, PSG always gets less than optimal results in the Champions League so yes, even though on paper PSG's quality is better than Dortmund, but PSG still failed to beat Dortmund.
Therefore, of course PSG must be able to accept the result they got of only being runners up, at least this result is still good for them compared to just finishing in the lower position . So yes, taking into account the results PSG got in this group phase then yes, at least I'm still not sure PSG can progress further. Because yes, it looks like PSG still really needs more time, of course to build a better team to get a performance that promises trophies in the future in the Champions League.
But even if I was optimistic about PSG's potential in the Champions League, I can't see a single scenario where they end up playing in the Champions League final and perhaps win it. I would always bet against them. Now it is not impossible for them to survive a few rounds in the knockout stages as they can get some draws they can handle, like Real Sociedad or Barcelona or maybe Atletico Madrid. But Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Real Madrid or Manchester City is too much for them. The chance is not like 0 because they can score goals and Mbappe can be the man of the match and score 3 goals, but if those games don't take exceptional turns, I think PSG would be out against the strong teams. |
