But the question is, will Manchester United be able to win against Munich?

It depends if Bayern decide to rest some of their stars as they are already group winners. Maybe they might want to give some players a rest. If that happens and Man Utd play the perfect game they could win.

Unfortunately for Man Utd it might not be enough, even if they were to win. If the other game has a winner then Man Utd are out. If Man Utd lose to Bayern they won’t even drop into the Europa League.
Even though Bayern Munich decided to play with their second-eleven, Manchester United will still not be able to win the match because Bayern Munich's second eleven can just be as strong as Galatasaray and Copenhagen's first eleven, which Manchester United failed to win. But if Manchester United pulls out a shock win against Bayern Munich, Manchester United will qualify for the European Cup if there is a win between Copenhagen and Galatasaray.

Mate don't say that to Manchester united even though they have not gotten the best results in the champions league so far they can still manage to surprise the world by beating Bayern Munich because Bayern Munich may decide not to take the match seriously. Regardless of what happened between Manchester united and Galatasaray, therw could be a change since we understand that football is full of uncertainty Manchester United can make out something against Bayern Munich while Galatasaray plays a draw with Copenhagen.

But that wouldn't create a surprise-the-world-effect at all when Manchester United wins that game. They are a mediocre Premier League team and Bayern Munich is qualified for the next round already. Would it be that surprising when Manchester United wins the game? If they manage to qualify for the next round, that would be a surprise because they would also need Copenhagen and Galatasaray to tie their game. But from what they have shown so far in the Champions League and in the Premier League, I think barely anyone hopes that they make it.

Galatasaray will return to the league with high morale. They played good football against Manchester United in the Champions League. Also, they will play Pendikspor this week (one of the weakest teams in the league).

Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş will undoubtedly return to the league in shame. But we can guess that they will want to win their league games and forget the defeats they suffered in the European cups.

In fact, I think Fenerbahçe should forget about the UEFA European conference league and focus on the Turkish Super League, because the UEFA European conference league is not as important as the Turkish Super League. I think even the possibility of being out of the championship race in the Turkish Super League would upset the fans more.

The final game in the Champions League against Copenhagen will be a true highlight for them. I think both teams Copenhagen and Galatasaray have a goal in front of their eyes that they did not think would now be so close. Qualifying for the next round would be huge for both of them. But It is not a coincidence as their rank in the league shows. But it is not only the rank, it is also how they are equal points with Fenerbahce. This could become one of their best seasons in a very long time if they can carry on being so strong on the pitch.

Indeed. There are many factors affecting the outcome of a play. For instance, in sportsbetting, it's mostly reliant to skills and knowledge. It's essential that you are updated with the current happenings about the player and the team itself in general. Having a background knowledge about the team record will be beneficial as well to know which has the higher odds of winning based on their track records. Although yes, luck still does play a part in sportsbetting because at the last minute, tables can turn. So it's important to at least consider shocking turns happening the last part or when you least expect it. But of course, still base most of your assessment on your knowledge and information at hand. 

I guess it will just know depends on the perspective whether it's a lucky or bad day. After all, it varies. If you want to make profit, losing is really terrible. But you can always do better next time around. Just remember to not be too greedy.

We definitely agree that there are many different factors that come into play depending on the type of game preferred. No matter which game type is chosen, the only thing they all have in common is "luck" in the truest sense of the word. For example, as you mentioned analyzing various information is a very important factor for sports betting but the luck factor always has an effect in sports betting. A possible last minute changes, a surprise situation and many other factors are triggered by the luck factor. In other words, a bet that is thought to be perfect may be affected by this luck factor even if it is low and may result in a result opposite to expectations.

In summary, regardless of the preferred gambling method luck is a common factor for all but each method also has different factors within itself.

One example that proves how important luck is is when people decide to bet on the huge favorites only, but we all know how often it happens that just one favorite will mess it up. You could take some games from the last Champions League round or also in the leagues when everyone thinks that betting on the favorites in a parlay bet will get you some safe winnings, but no one team or player is going to wreck the bet. It could be a multitude of reasons, but in most cases the odds are well calculated and in favor of the casino, not the player.

For Girona a win in this game would be important to keep their momentum going. The draw against Bilbao isn't the end of the world and Bilbao is in quite good form. But against Valencia, I think Girona should come out on top unless a bad day is waiting for them.

Atletico and Barcelona will be taking points from each other and Atletico is still one game behind. If Barcelona loses this and Atletico plays that game they have in reserve and wins it, Barcelona could fall behind a little bit. It is still nothing too bad, but whatever their goal for the season is, the La Liga title will be going to be tough for them.
Valencia performance not quit well such as Athletic Bilbao and not difficult opponent team for Girona next match after losing points last match from Bilbao, Girona dropped to 2nd position although have the same points and lead goals productivities from Real Madrid but have conceded many goals and loss first meeting make them have been under Real Madrid position on current La Liga standings awhile. Both top teams between Madrid and Girona will face weakness opponent team with Real Madrid vs Granada and sure not problem for winning three points. Looks the same with Girona regarding the opponent team upcoming match have inconsistent performance and Valencia dropped on 9th place will be easy for Girona defend the second position.

I think interested match in this week Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid, draw result will be more advantage for Madrid and Girona because both teams have four points left from Madrid and Girona points.

Girona must stay down to earth and wait for their chance when the others have their issues. If they don't lose contact to the top, the chance could come when Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico play in the final rounds of the Champions League. Maybe they will try to give some of their players a rest from time to time and take some risks in La Liga. But before I get into speculation about player rotation, Girona has to make sure that they are still around when the time has come.

Who do you think will win, or do you agree with what the bookies offer? the following is a screenshot to place a bet.


To predict a winner in this game can be difficult and confusing because both teams are very strong but i still agree with the odds for 1x2 bookie, for those who prefers to make use of 1x2 bookie i think it was well drafted because Al Hilal seem to be more stronger and consistent in performance and considering they are playing at home it is only right to give them a lower odd because they have every advantage to win the match but Al Nassr is a side that can not be underrated because they have quality attackers as well even though their defense is a bit shaky. Selecting a winner will be difficult because the match will be very tough and interesting so I would rather opt for a different option when staking a bet on this match.

But the reality is that we are talking about an impressive talent no matter how hard he trained. Because reading some of the posts of how he was not born like Messi and had to work for everything, it implies that everyone working as hard could become like Ronaldo (which I highly doubt) and second of all it also implies that Messi didn't work as hard. But to be honest how do even know how hard Messi worked? He is just not the kind of guy who posts his training routines all over Instagram. I couldn't tell for sure whether Messi worked less hard than Ronaldo. Maybe they worked on different things.
Having a mindset like that of Ronaldo is not easy and for anyone to train as hard as he does will be difficult and it’s like his own kind of talent and only a few will have this kind of mentality and be consistent with it. Ronaldo is also talented but not as much as Messi so the hard work elevated him to the same heights as Messi and it doesn’t mean Messi doesn’t work hard too. Ronaldo’s work is all round while Messi might be working to improve on particular skills.

Again, let me ask you, what proof do you have that Ronaldo works harder than others? I don't have any proof and please don't use social media as your most reliable source here or otherwise I will start posting one picture more per day showing my body of steal and claim I am working harder than Ronaldo. Some people have a better physique than Ronaldo, love soccer and could never come close to him. All this talk about his mindset and how he works harder than anyone else has always been a major part of his marketing strategy. I am not arguing against the fact that he is working hard, but repeating all the time that he works harder than others is nothing but unproven claims. I can't say whether it is true and I want to know how so many people seem to be able to verify it is true.

You are right, Arsenal has 1 point less after 13 games and 1 goal better difference than last season after 13 games. Does that really mean anything? In my opinion it doesn't. They also have the strongest defense so far, which they did not last season although it was still great.

I also don't think it means anything especially considering 25 more rounds to play before the end of the season. A lot can change in those 25 rounds and it is right now important for the team plan things properly in order to maintain their consistency. Race has just completed 1/3rd of the distance and there is more to go but with proper planning everything can be achieved.


Quote
I think we are going to see a close race between Arsenal, City and Liverpool. I don't think Aston Villa can go at this level for a long time.

That's the main challenge for them. Aston Villa are an average team and so far they have been spectacular or say out of ordinary. So the main questions arises for how long they can stay consistent. They had a good start but can they continue it for long time. Depth and quality of squad determines how far they will go and till now they have shown their quality. If things go like this Aston Villa are gonna make a surprise finish at the table by the end.

Out of ordinary measured by their own standards describes it quite well I think and Tottenham also had their first crash this season losing three consecutive games. Aston Villa would have to keep playing out of the ordinary and it is more likely that they lose track of the others as soon as they lose a game they should have normally won. But we will soon have the answer how far Aston Villa could go this season as they are playing against Manchester City in one week and against Arsenal just three days later. After those two games I think we will have a better idea of what they are up to.

At this point sacking Ten Hag would be a very good decision from Manchester United. Ten Hag is not going to improve this team in anyway. He seems clueless and the players don't look like people that want to work for him.
The hierarchy at Manchester United are hesitant to make any managerial changes, and i think it boils down to the fact that they have hired and fired quite a lot of managers in recent years, and they prolly are tired of the trend, they would have hoped things turned out differently with Erik Ten Hag, but it is what it is and they might have to fire him sooner rather than later.

Having said that, who is going to be the replacement, and how sure are we that he is going to be successful, it is hard to place what exactly is the problem with the club, if it is the manager, the players or the hierarchy, i reckon it is all three of them, but in a football club, it is always the manager that gets the sack letter anyway.

I understand that they have hired and fired a lot of managers. But they have not brought in a really good one who can actually do the job. They need to bring in someone who is very well respected. Zinedine Zidane might be the better option. I think that is the only way they are actually going to get a good performance out of Manchester United right now. The current coach is not doing a good job for sure. Keeping him around for longer is not going to change that fact. The chances that Ten Hag got, he should have brought in far better results, compared to what he actually has done so far.

Ok but this also has to do with the fact that the best managers are under contract most of the time. I haven't been following any other potential negotiations they might have had, but the great coaches that come to one's mind are not available in most cases and if they are, I guess Manchester United is not the place anymore that it used to be when Sir Alex Ferguson was there. When clubs lose prestige, it also has some impact on their former freedom of choice when it came to hiring a new coach.
528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 01, 2023, 02:19:42 PM
To the points you said above, I agree. In fact, Ten Hag had plans for Ronaldo at that time. not much different from one of the United players who was dropped, namely, Sancho. In this case, there are several similarities between Ronaldo and Sancho. In fact, these two players have been given several opportunities but in fact they are not playing as they should.
Well, if you, or we as United coaches, what steps would we take? Moreover, if a player is clearly still being paid his salary by the club, it is inappropriate to say something that brings down the club and his own team. After all, he still received his salary and meals from the club. let's be realistic, that they get paid for it.

At this point, I am not looking for justification for Ten Hag, even I am not a fan of Manchester United. It's just that we can't close one eye to the situation that is happening in the United camp, Ten Hag was able to bring United to a 3rd place finish without Ronaldo. I do not intend to compare, or belittle. However, let's see what Ten Hag is building for The Red Devil. he is a coach from the Netherlands, who is famous for his rigor and discipline. Now let's ask ourselves, why is Ten Hag still trusted so far even though several rumors have reported about Ten Hag's dismissal. and until now, he is still managing United. We also need to remember that Ten Hag actually asked the club management to bring in the players he wanted. but in fact, because of FFP sanctions, he is limited by the player's spending budget. Apart from that, another wave of problems hit United. I'm curious, who should be blamed and responsible, whether Glazer or Ten Hag. You are free to choose one of them.

I would agree that not all actions ten Hag is taking are wrong, but the way how he reaches his goals is not very convincing and also not very considerate in terms of team building.

The reason he is still around are some small successes, like the qualification for the Champions League. But frankly speaking I am also not a fan of Pochettino. i never really liked him and he had some good times with Tottenham. I think there are different levels for coaches and ten Hag does not belong to the top category like Klopp or Guardiola or Ancelotti. I mention these three because they have quite different qualities. Klopp is all about emotion, Guardiola is all about tactics, and Ancelotti is all about empathy. And all of them combine a little bit of the quality of the others. Ten Hag, I don't even know how to describe him. He is not about empathy, he is not about emotions, and I feel he is also not a tactical genius.

I still believe Brazil have got a good chance at qualifying regardless of their loss against Argentina, after all Argentina is a small team either, Brazil still gat some good players and their team strength is still such that can be seen to be reckoned with but then their chance is now smaller.

Argentina is definitely qualify for the world cup, so far their performance has is really good and shows their readiness for the world cup, it will be out of place if they fail to qualify for the world cup as the defending champions of the title but I doubt if they will be able to keep the cup, it's most likely by the end of the world cup a new champion may emerge as other countries are really bracing up to winning the world especially the major host (the united states).

The damage still isn't too big for Brazil to get it repaired in the next couple of games, but I am sure that the team now understood that this is not like a holiday trip for them to travel across South America and win the full three points every game. I thought that their standing in the table would be much better than it is after six games, but I think it is more the trend that is concerning than the trust that they are strong enough to qualify. The trend really looks ugly for them. It should not be forgotten that last time they qualified with zero losses!
532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 30, 2023, 06:49:18 PM
Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham are other teams that can compete with Manchester City for the first place in the English league, but Manchester City is so solid and such a favorite that these teams need to do better every week without making mistakes if they want to compete with Manchester City. Arteta wants something that did not happen last year this season.

Arsenal, which has not been a champion for a long time, is fighting head to head with City again this season. Currently, Arsenal is first in the league with a one point difference.
Well they were building the squad and actually last season their target wasn't to win but to be in top 4 but still they did very good if you ask me in last season. I am glad that they managed to qualify for CL and I am happy with the results from last season. I think this season is a new challenge dealing with CL and PL games simultaneously. So far they are doing good job in CL and in PL also they are going strong but I feel that they have the calibre to go more strong. If they perform with more consistency I think they will be able to grow their difference on the table and this will be a huge advantage near the season end.

Arsenal can be said to be still the same as last season, especially in the Premier League. I don't think Arsenal's performance has dropped in the Premier League even though they are actually not as good as last season, but it can be said that they are stable even though they need improvement.

This season's Premier League is more interesting than last season because Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City look like they will be desperate to win the title. This is a season that will be very challenging for Pep Guardiola because it looks like he has plans to defend his 4th Premier League title in 4 consecutive seasons. Arsenal and Liverpool can be obstacles, but I think Manchester City is a team that can handle the pressure.

You are right, Arsenal has 1 point less after 13 games and 1 goal better difference than last season after 13 games. Does that really mean anything? In my opinion it doesn't. They also have the strongest defense so far, which they did not last season although it was still great.

But your post is a great example for some slight exaggerations because saying that they are "not as good as last season" is actually meaningless when you do the cross check with the data from last season. I think we are going to see a close race between Arsenal, City and Liverpool. I don't think Aston Villa can go at this level for a long time.

DO you expected with Sevilla come back to Europe League after failure with Champion League? I want to see Sevilla appearance become the winner two consecutives time with Europe League trophies, but need magician if can take three points away against Lens automatically will get one spot trough playoff round ticket.

Sevilla is a team that is currently dominated by old players. The intensity of the matches in UCL is fast tempo. The average player is over 30 years old, of course some of their physiques may no longer be able to face young opposing players. I think, This is the cause of Sevilla decline in performance. If Sevilla loses in the last match, then there will no longer be a chance for Sevilla to play in UEL. This reminds of Milan's tragedy when they were too comfortable with old players in the past and struggling in domestic and even absence for UCL for a long time.

I guess this season Sevilla is facing the truth because to be honest, how likely is it that a season when they are so bad in La Liga ends with the Europa League title and the Champions League participation?

Just look how long they haven't won any title in La Liga and now they are going to feel the consequences. I think there is no backdoor for them this time and Lens tied the game against them in Spain. They now need to tie it again and will instead go to the Europa League. It would be a surprise if Sevilla makes it, and it would also be fun but I don't believe they will do it this year.
534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 30, 2023, 06:02:40 PM
Yes, Juventus really benefits from only having a schedule for domestic competitions. The player's fitness level is greater when compared to other teams competing in Europe. Massimo Allegri certainly has to maximize his squad to continue to maintain its position at the top so that the target of winning the Scudetto is also more open. I believe the Old Lady's chances are greater if you look at their schedule, other competitors like Inter might find a busy period where they will lose control in Serie A.
If you look at the match schedule between Juventus and Inter Milan, Juventus has the advantage of having a smaller schedule compared to Inter Milan who have to share their concentration in the Champions League and Serie A. But make no mistake, Inter Milan can handle a busy schedule and for them this is not a problem. problem because coach Simone Inzaghi has many ways to avoid problems with player injuries and player fitness by carrying out various kinds of rotations.

For Juventus itself, so far its development has progressed, but it could be said that it is not yet completely stable, its goal productivity has not specifically increased. Even though we know they have focused on Serie A from the start, they should be able to do more than that.
Juventus absence in European football this season is without doubt an added advantage for them to overtake Inter Milan in the Italian Serie A standings but at the moment, it doesn't look like Inter Milan's involvement in the European scene is gonna stop them from having a great domestic season.

Judging by their general performance this season abd their current form, Simone Inzaghi's men have proven that they have all it takes takes to repeat the club's achievement during the 2009/10 season where they won a treble. Juventus who hasn't won the league in any of the last three seasons initially winning it for nine consecutive seasons are strong contenders to win the scudetto again but they'll have to stop outperform Inter Milan to do that. A difficult task I think

I am trying to understand why you think that it is an advantage for Juventus Turin to not play in the European tournaments. I said this before and some people think like you, but I think that a top team like Manchester City would suffer more from not playing the Champions League. These competitions raise the awareness and the focus within any team. The only thing you can be referring to is injuries, but other than that I believe the level of play is almost always higher for teams that also play in the Champions League. See the comeback Inter Milan now had in the Champions League against Benfica, do you think it will help them or hurt them?

It's not right to say that the generality of United's backsliding is to be blamed on Hag, it's not fair to do so as even if the man tries his best to set up the team and the players do not want to play right, they'd still blame him. Currently, the issue they face is as a result of general team's negligence to performance, they've gone below standard in all areas and admittingly, Hag too is a part of it. He's the head of the team and he has the responsibility to manage the team rightly.

 He should be in the best position to make proper decisions for the team. Check for the errors, brainstorm and profer variety of processes to getting the errors solved, be should task the players in confidence building too as they keep lacking it weekly.They failed woefully yesterday at their game against Galatasaray and it was believed they'd have the day but sadly they couldn't keep up with being ahead and they had to let out goals to their opponents, that's how poor they've become and they need to work on that act of winning and relaxing to be won afterwards.
Till this time Ten Hag doesn't make a significant impact on the team, it suggests that his performance isn't up to good for MU. Exactly, it's not solely Ten Hag's responsibility, as there are 11 players on the field and a significant support staff behind the club that also influence the team. However, it seems like Ten Hag's strategies is the main reason here and might not be the best fit for a club as prominent as MU. The current playing style of Man United is notably very very poor, and its progress is sloooow.

MU is eyeing Carlo Ancelotti to replace Ten Hag, but it appears Carlo has turned down the offer for several reasons, even though his contract with Real Madrid is set to end this season. With only a few top coaches available, Man United's options for a replacement are narrowing. This situation seems likely to extend Man United's period of bad performance into the next season unless there are significant changes in the near future.

Manchester United made a big mistake when they gave the coach so much power. But honestly, I probably cannot talk trash about the Manchester United authority as well because they had tried with a few other coaches before. But that did not turn out to be very good. he kicked out the greatest player that they had and probably the greatest player in the world. Even at such old age, Cristiano Ronaldo was carrying the team. And he came and kicked him out. After that, Manchester United did some remodeling of the squad and did find a few successful matches, but we all know what they are going through right now. The tactics that he was trying to implement were never going to work long-term.

Correct me if I am wrong, I really mean that, but Ronaldo did not put ten Hag under pressure with great performances. Actually his goal count declined over time and whenever ten Hag gave him the chance, Ronaldo did not carry the team on those days. But I still agree that this was not only an issue Ronaldo had, but the whole collective didn't function very well and there was too much trouble offside the pitch. I don't know how much power ten Hag really had, but I think when Ronaldo went on air with his interview where he destroyed the club and the coach, they probably were not left with many options but to let Ronaldo go and keep ten Hag.

But now that time is passing by, I wonder for how long Manchester United will keep trying it with ten Hag. What saved him was definitely finishing third last season with four games won in a row. He could still get lucky and make it into the next round this year in the Champions League, but it would really not be satisfying.
536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 30, 2023, 04:50:08 PM
So Manchester itself deserved what is happening to it now and apart from the failed transfers the management should not have let De Hea be sacked like that, considering how much De Hea has done for the club. It was quite possible to leave him second to replace Onana, but apparently Ten Hag decided to show that he is a tough coach and De Hea's contract was not renewed and now Manchester will be good if they get into the europa league, because for that we need to gain points with Bayern Munich.
I am not at all surprised by Manchester United's results. I expected a draw from this match. But I will say that Manchester United players have performed better in this match compared to every previous match. Although they have won their last three Premier League matches, their performances have been very poor. But Manchester United played well enough against Galatasaray. They led 3-1 at the start of the second half. If the match strategy and defense were good then Manchester United had a chance to win this match. After going 3-1 up, United's players should have just kept their defense tight. I would definitely blame Ten Hag's poor match strategy as the reason for not winning this match.
People are now focusing on how to blame onana for his mistake. Ziyech was really an underrated player during the game.  Ziyech was scoring through free kick and that's amazing how onana was unable blocking one of these shoots by ziyech.
No doubt that if galatasaray deserves to draw against manchester united. His goals were simply unbelievable. Manchester united really needs to get a new goal keeper to help the club. Having onana is not solving the problem faced by manchester united.
I kinda feel united will be struggle against bayern. Even it will face stronger opponent compared with galatasaray. Ten hag shall do gamble for that match or he will be missing the only chance.
The fans need also to hope there will be no winner between galatasaray vs copen hagen.

Getting draw is the only solution to help united.

I don't like Manchester United's overall performance. So I don't blame Onana for Manchester United not winning. In the home match, Onana did not make any big mistakes, but Manchester United was defeated in the match. We have seen Manchester United's poor defense in every Champions League match. In 5 matches they scored 12 goals and conceded 14 goals. Celtic and Antwerp conceded 14 and 15 goals respectively in the Champions League. Manchester United has one of the worst defenses in the Champions League.

Both Galatasaray and Copenhagen have almost the same situation. It is not possible to predict which team will win this match. Both teams have chances to win. However, Galatasaray shared the points against Copenhagen in the home match. It will be very difficult to beat the Copenhagen team in away matches.

I think there are a lot of effects between players and also events that happen on the field. Often times a goalkeeper can also benefit from the team not doing too well because there are a lot of opportunities to show high potential saves. But then as you said, when the whole team has issues, how fair would it be to blame one player when everyone sees how Manchester United is doing in any of the competitions they are playing. Some of the mistakes he made should have been avoided, but how of the mistakes should have been avoided before the opponent got into the position to score that goal. I think the draw was ok and I thought that Galatasaray would win the game.

Age can't be denied to a player, although his goal-scoring ability is still very good, then we can see his decline in other ways, so I agree that in terms of speed he has declined a lot.
It's been over a decade since we've talked about Ronaldo, and we're not just talking about one club. Sporting where he was first discovered, Manchester United, then on to Real Madrid, on to Juventus and then back to the club that made his name, and now he's in the SPL.
It's not easy for a player to stand out at so many clubs and even in so many leagues, but he's made his presence felt.

At the age not young anymore, it's natural that in terms of speed, it has decreased, but at his age, he is no longer as young as before he still has good performance and quality that exceeds today's young players for example like ordinary football players but he is still young and he is also always scores great goals and I really like when he dribbles the ball he is always good and when he gives a pass he is always accurate so I wouldn't be surprised if he is currently the top scorer in this Arab league which I remember he has scored 15 goals, in second place is Aleksandar Mitrovic scored 11 goals and third was Malcom who scored 9 goals. and what I like most is that he looks youthful and from his appearance he is very good and of course he is very influential and because he plays in the Saudi Arabian league the name of the Saudi Arabian league has now become famous I think it will be difficult to find a player like him.
I believe it's the fruit of his hard work that has allowed him to survive until now. I've even read in some news sources that he always spends time training when his teammates have finished or in other words he adds to his own training portion, something we rarely find.
I've even seen on social media, that Ronaldo is a player who was born not because of talent like Messi for example, but he managed to make himself at a very high level as a soccer player.
Indeed, effort does not betray results.

But the reality is that we are talking about an impressive talent no matter how hard he trained. Because reading some of the posts of how he was not born like Messi and had to work for everything, it implies that everyone working as hard could become like Ronaldo (which I highly doubt) and second of all it also implies that Messi didn't work as hard. But to be honest how do even know how hard Messi worked? He is just not the kind of guy who posts his training routines all over Instagram. I couldn't tell for sure whether Messi worked less hard than Ronaldo. Maybe they worked on different things.

That Ronaldo stands out in the SPL after he played for all those clubs is really no surprise. I doubt that anyone thought the opposite could happen and he would be sitting on the bench because he becomes so bad.

Yes Valencia is tough but is more when they play home, and now they are gonna be in away condition, so i think Girona have a very good opportunity to win, obviusly the next match after that against Barcelona can be a very difficult one, and more thinking in Barcelona trying to cut the gap or even surprase them in the positions.

For Girona a win in this game would be important to keep their momentum going. The draw against Bilbao isn't the end of the world and Bilbao is in quite good form. But against Valencia, I think Girona should come out on top unless a bad day is waiting for them.

Atletico and Barcelona will be taking points from each other and Atletico is still one game behind. If Barcelona loses this and Atletico plays that game they have in reserve and wins it, Barcelona could fall behind a little bit. It is still nothing too bad, but whatever their goal for the season is, the La Liga title will be going to be tough for them.

The players absent got me scared I also removed tue game entirely from my ticket as I was avoiding whatever that would cause damage to my tickets. I was happy to see Rodrygo stepping up to make things right. He has done well for Real Madrid in the past three games.
Real Madrid should be happy if Girona happens to drop points tonight.

Anyways, Girona is a team I'm rooting for since they lost to Real Madrid. They have been tje shocker for weeks with how they've also progressed to the top two clubs in La Liga.
Eyes should also b focused on Atletico Madrid, they have a game to play and they are in the right direction and position on the league table chasing gently and steadily.
Its natural that you might be worried when you see Vinicius absent from the match even though he is one of Real Madrid mainstay players, but your worries should be quelled the presence of Joselu who is always ready to replace Vinicius and on the one hand, Rodrygo and Bellingham performance is beyond doubt because these two players are one of Ancelotti good goal scorers and the presence of Luka Modric should make you confident in betting on yesterday match because Modric performance was quite good, getting 1 assist in yesterday match.

I am a little hopeful that at least Girona will lose tonight against Bilbao, that does not mean I underestimate Girona, but I just want to see the long term competition between Real Madrid and Girona, which is fighting for the top of the standings, and on the one hand, Bilbao is actually not a team that has high stability, but what you need to pay attention to is Bilbao defense line is very strong even though the attackers are not very consistent but holding a draw is possible.

This is the big question the whole time because if Girona wins this game, we finally have some exciting games to look forward to. This is boring, Barcelona vs Real Madrid all the time, bu now we have Girona in the group. I like it a lot and I think all the fans who don't should think about the competition that is taking place here.
