City is now coming back again with the best performance while liverpool must have lost some players due to the injury. I think that this is making everything goes much easier for manchester city to get back to back EPL trophy again this season. Im thinking that if things are moving so fast and i could not even believe how manchester city was performing even better.
Arsenal may become the only worthy opponent for manchester city this time. I do believe that if liverpool will be having poor performance without nunez and salah. Im really sure that if we will be seeing city to perform better compared to the last season.

It's only matter of time till EPL trophy will be awarded to the manchester city again. The situation is just getting better after manchester city was getting some best players to go back in the squad again. Im thinking that if it's the time for manchester city to show if it's still the king of EPL this time.
People are feeling very confidence to pick city as the winner for EPL this season. They were not feeling doubt about that caused by city was leading the competition.

Arsenal will be bottling it again soon.

City are one of the most likely to win the EPL, since the return of their star players, Haaland and Debruyne, they've been in a very good shape and wonderful performance and the chances of them winning the EPL is getting more likely as the week goes, we all saw how they destroyed Copenhagen in the UCL finals they showed their class and that's same thing we should expect from them in the EPL. But like Liverpool, City could also experience injury crisis since 3 players got injured in the game against Copenhagen.

This is the right time for Arsenal to take advantage of Liverpool and City's set back, they've got to keep bagging the 3 points for a long while so as to claim the trophy else they'll end up bottling the 3 points like the did last season. Well let's see how the season goes cause Liverpool ain't looking like they're giving up soon and Pep also would still look for a solution concerning the recent injuries.

In the last few days I read in local news that Barcelona is currently very interested in bringing in Martinelli from Arsenal, reportedly Barcelona is starting to try to negotiate for the Brazilian player to fill their squad next season, currently Barcelona is in a financial crisis and to be able to smooth out their plans to recruit Martinelli then Barcelona are starting to start offering Frenkie de Jong and Ronaldo Araujo to other clubs, it is even reported that Barcelona has offered De Jong to Manchester United and Chelsea to be able to get money as a transfer fee for Martinelli, so far Barcelona really needs a lot of changes to be able to compete next season but in order to do of course this is a difficult challenge for Barcelona considering their financial situation.
Coming back to Martinelli, I don't think Arsenal will sell him so easily, especially since Martinelli is one of Arsenal most important attack motors at the moment, Martinelli still has a contract until 2027 with Arsenal and even if Barcelona offers a high price, of course Arsenal will reject the offer considering the importance of Martinelli role in the team and also that Arsenal is currently a team that has stable and strong finances so they are not in urgent need of money.

Barcelona are currently in a precarious situation and this is owning to the big financial mistakes they made during their glory days. Now they are in their worst days where no one sees them as much a threat. In a bid to get their glory days back, they’re eyein Arsenal’s Martineli and also ready to offload most of her players. Yes they’ll need to offload most ayers in order to make this deal possible and the players on the offload radar though still have a great role to play in the club but those are part of the sacrifices the club has to make.

Well the ball is in Arsenal’s court as I think they still have great need for Martineli but might only let him go for a hige price so as to let the get good replacement for him on the flank. This is such a trying time for Barcelona and I wish them luck because they’ll be having a crazy market time at summer.

At the end of season many teams has lack winning mentality such as Arsenal, their performance last season very well and success lead more longer time for the first standings position. Get inconsistency performance in the end or fewest matches left before competition ended made Arsenal losses the great opportunity become the Premier League winner season 2022/23.

I don't think large difference for this season with teams lack winning mentality difficult keep in the Premier League tittle race, I want to see with Arsenal potential for this season will keep in the high level performance or the premier league tittle race dominance only by Manchester City and Liverpool who still get consistent performance. Next match, Premier League will entry on matchday 25 seems still not really crucial yet and potential above matchday 29 is very crucial for the big four team get their consistent performance or not.

Well consistency in any phase of life has always been key to success. And also in the world of football, you’ll need to be very consistent to be able to still remain top of the league. This was what decided Arsenal’s fate last season as they were not able to keep up the very last. Manchester Coty maintained a long winning streak and that saw them succeed to getting their 3rd consecutive EPL title.

Now we’ve a tight race of Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal and these 3 clubs must try to be consistent at least up to Match week 33 as any falter could result in loss in the title chase. Their point and goal differences aren’t much between each other so the fight is on and consistency is key. However I think the Manchester City might begin to face difficult times based on the recent injury crisis they've faced from their previous UCL match against Copenhagen.

IMO, currently PSG's performance is starting to find its rhythm. I mean, Enrique already has several options that are standard for his squad. however, if I refer to Paris Saint-Germain's statistics, enrique is currently implementing the 4-3-3 pattern which has always been his mainstay. but not infrequently, Enrique also applies other system patterns such as 4-1-4-1. in fact, we can refer to PSG's performance in its Domestic League. So far, PSG has appeared consistent and with a positive trend. which means, the giant French League team is experiencing development based on its playing performance.

In the match against Real Sociedad, there is clearly a significant difference. PSG is undergoing progress and change, while Real Sociedad is in a decline phase. Likewise, in this second squad, PSG is much more competitive. so, it's only natural that Real Sociedad lost this competition. so, to ensure how PSG will perform in the next match. that is very important, because the second leg will be held at Real Sociedad's home ground. We'll see later, but what is certain is that PSG's chances are quite big to win the match at home to Real Sociedad.

Well judging from the recent performances of the club, we can attest to the fact that there’s been improvement in the team. Luis Enrique is a good coach and you can see that from the way he’s reshaped this PSG team within a short period of time. Now they play a good formation and can switch up whenever they want to defend their lead or win. This changes is what’s needed for this team and you can see the positive results they’ve gotten from these changes.

The win against Real Sociedad is another big testament of the changes Enrique has brought to this team though Real aren’t a match to the current psg team as they have an A performance of late. Well there’s still a return leg but I don’t think Real will be able to come back except PSG decides to be sluggish with the match then Real could hurt them.

Yes, Manuel Nuer is quite old, but does 37-38 years of age really matter for a goalkeeper? the reason is that he doesn't use much stamina like the players because his job is only to focused on guarding the goal and making saves so there is no harm in Bayern Munich retaining Manuel Nuer at least until his contract end so that Bayern Munich can think about recruiting a new goalkeeper to replace legendary goalkeepers like Manuel Nuer and It is not an easy thing for Bayern Munich to recruit a goalkeeper who has good potential like their flagship goalkeeper.

In my opinion, the decline in Bayern Munich performance is not entirely Manuel Nuer fault because he has guarded Bayern Munich goal for many years and his experiences playing in the big league is not a surprise for Manuel Nuer. I think this is due to the tactics that Thomas Tuchel gave him in the back line, which result in Bayern Munich conceding a goal due to lack of tight goalkeeping.

Age is beckoning on a lot of players and they've just got to do what is left before retirement. Now every man has his own decision to make based on how it pleases him. Manuel Neuer has been a great player, his tremendous effort every team building he's been a partaker of. He's quality in himself. There's just going to be a void to be filled in his absence. Even though he's not a loud star, he's had impact in Munich as a team overtime.

Now Tuchel has to make effective use of the goalie and should be able to understand that he's executing his role to the best of his ability. There are a number of players that can really be as impactful as him even though it just would take a while to settle in but he's still an impactful legend in himself. The same scenario apply to other long stayed players at a team, their presence just has to be felt consistently again. Most of these players also have built in skills set and they're good at their position and performance on the field of play. It's even pretty much advisable that they play the captain role as it's believed that their understand certainly all nooks and crannies of the team they're in.

difference of 7 points from the remaining 15 matches is very difficult to catch up with these points and it will not be possible Inter Milan will make a successive mistake while Inter very strong in maintaining his position because Inzaghi is able to rotate players so perfectly so they can get good results in series A and too at UCL.
so I will not hesitate to say if Inter Milan will remain at the top of the standings until the end of the season even though Juventus try to continue to put pressure but believe if Juventus have lost consistent and will certainly experience the same mistakes again in several matches that will come.

related to Lukaku past, which was at Inter Milan, it seems that Inzaghi will no longer think about because Inter Milan players are far more consistent than before and try to get 2 more titles at UCL and the Scudetto degree.
maybe I should tell Juventus that the team will only get a runner up title.

Between Roma and Juventus, one would have to be submissive to the other or better still they keep ending it fairly and share points to themselves. Both teams have what they're fighting for, they've got interests to protect too. They don't want to be seen taking chances. It's going to be a tough game. Their managers and the players are good, they've got very much impressing strategy which they have to fight over to win their games. The quality of players in the team are very much effective for the task ahead.

Hopefully for Roma, Lukaku would do exceedingly well. He's been having a good time so far with the team and I believe in the tussle alongside Juventus, there won't be an exception. Juventus won't on their part overlook their games, they want to keep the UCL ticket and so they know they've got to work with the advantage as the host to win. If I'm to predict the game outcomes, then Juventus will have the higher possibility to win or to create a fair balance, they'd stay on top.

Well, we will soon find out how these two teams will meet in today's match. more precisely, early morning in my country. Talking about this fight, I think the fight is quite difficult for us to predict. which means, it looks like this match will be quite tough. plus, Feyenoord as the home team will not allow De Rossi and his team to win easily in Rotterdam. moreover, this playoff round match is a crucial match for De Rossi in the international arena with his AS Roma squad. we will find out how AS Roma played their match, and show their performance.

On the other hand, Feyenoord as the home team seems ready to host the match against AS Roma. Referring to the matches played by Arne Slot's squad, in 7 matches in various competitions, Feyenoord performed quite well without losing. thus, as the home team, Feyenoord seems to be quite confident when they host their opponents in the meeting tonight. moreover, not a few doubt De Rossi's performance in managing AS Roma. but we'll see which team will win this match.

Referring to the betting market, Feyenoord with odds @2.16 and AS Roma with odds @3.30. my estimation, this match has the potential to end in a draw. so, the draw option can be considered with odds @3.20. or the Over 2.5 goals @1.90 option, another option is to choose AS Roma with a handicap option with a margin of 0:0. the point is, I favor Roma in this match.

Well this match is one big test of a match owing to the fact that Roma were finalist last season and also the major focus will be on how De Rossi has effected this team positively. Yes he’s had a good start but he fell to Inter Milan’s sting. This match will be used to access if he trued to work on his squad after the loss to Inter Milan. Feynoord are a very good side and on a very good form and this match will be so important to them also.

Playing at the ground of Feynoord won’t be easy for Roma and for this fact, I’m tipping Feynoord to get the win but if Roma still want a chance to qualify then they’ll have to try not to concede huge amount of goals or even drawing at Feynoord else it’ll smell disaster before the second leg. If they allow Feyenoord to score 2 or more goals then it might really hinder their chances of moving to the next round.

Well, this is the unique thing about football, we didn't even think that Bayern would lose in the match against Lazio. as we know, Di Rotten lost, conceding a penalty goal from Ciro Immobile in the 69th minute. referring to statistics, it shows that Bayern Munich was only able to take 17 kicks throughout the match without a single shot on target. in fact, Harry Kane admitted that Bayern Munich appeared disappointing in the second half. with this result, my predictions failed miserably regarding Bayern Munich. I didn't think the result would be like this. To be honest, I didn't watch this match. however, referring to match statistics, Bayern controlled more than 61% of ball possession.

On the other hand, Lazio was lucky to get a penalty kick. Ciro's only goal was from the penalty spot, bringing Lazio to win last night's battle. even in terms of opportunities, Lazio is much better than Bayern Munich in this match. I'm quite sure, there are many of us who experienced defeat in the Lazio vs Bayern Munich match. in the second leg, like it or not, Thucel will have to defeat Lazio at the Alian Arena with a landslide score. thus, Bayern has the right to qualify for the next phase. otherwise, Tuchel's position with the Bavarians will be threatened.

Well the UCL always has it’s big surprises in every stage of the knockout round and the result yesterday was probably the beginning. No one would have thought of Bayern losing that match as the worst they could have gotten was a draw. It turned out that Bayern lost and truly That Thomas isn’t really what the Bayern team needs as his tactics isn’t doing the any good. A team like Bayern having zero shot on target is very disappointing and I know it would have caused a lot to some persons who would have placed a bet on them.

Well Lazio were Lucky as luck is stil very much part of football but their luck will mean more work from Thomas in order to get Bayern to the last 8 else I don’t see him remaining at the club if they fail to qualify pass this round of the competition. Tuchel wil need to emply a more better option if he truly wants to see his team go through to the next stage else his job is at stake.

You cannot stop people from expressing how they feel about a particular player or issue. People will always make some painful comments that might make the player feel very bad. Even Osimhen who singlehandedly helped Napoli win the Seria A was subjected to some careless social media attack. Fans should control their anger because it is hurting the feelings of these players who have sacrificed to represent the country. I don't support cyberbullying because it could lead to many problems.

In life, if you dwell on the negative side of your attacks, you might not recover easily. We all know that Iwobi was not at his best in some of the games but there is room for improvement. Iwobi shouldn't see this attack as the end of his national team career, rather he can prove these critics wrong by improving his performance in subsequent games. We all saw the attack on Harry Maguire of Manchester United. Rather than having banters with his critics the Englishman took time to upgrade his game and today he is still in the first team. Sometimes one can convert challenges into opportunities and the best way to silence your mockers is to do those things they never thought you could do.

Well when a player doesn’t does his work well, well I think he will sure get criticized and that’s why we’ve got the fans. Majorly these criticisms are not to demoralize the player but they’re aimed to spur him to challenge for better and try to be at his best. We’ve so many cases of players who performed excellently but when they underperformed, they were criticized and their return got applauded. Case of Osimhen at Napoli evn after carrying the team on his shoulder last season, when the season started and the team wasn’t leaving up to expectation, he was backlashed and he uped his game.

Maguire too had same fate and came back better winning Player of the month award. These are sweet rewards for criticisms and as such I believe Iwobi is talented and should take cue from these cases and come back with stellar performances then he’ll receive the accolades and applauds he deserves.

Slowly, Andre Onana performance very well with Manchester United and success made his team keep unbeaten in this years from 6 matches all competition, but have little improving performance for Andre Onana how to make his team keep make clean sheet on every match due last clean sheet made when Manchester United won over 3-0 against West Ham United.

I losses faith with Chelsea performance in this season, unpredictable and still inconsistency with their performance and difficult ho to break on the top standings position. Next match Manchester City are waiting for and seems not easy for Chelsea will success get three points and City will make success make seven consecutives winning in Premier League?

Well let’s deal with the sweet case of Onana improvement before going to talk about Chelsea who’re a mid table team. Onana has improved greatly for Manchester United since the start of the year as he’s not conceded quite crazy amount of goal. I think the backlash from the fans is having its full effect as he’s performance on the pitch has now improved greatly. He still needs to try so that he’ll be able to keep some clean sheets as those could help him get the golden gloves in his first season in the league.

For Chelsea they seem to be on fire but that fire can’t be trusted as it can be put off at anytime especially because they’re not able to maintain consistency. Them not maintaining consistency is what sees them to be around mid table and over the weekend they have a match against City which I don’t see them being able to have anything off that match. Moreover they shouldn’t be written off as they could put up one great performance like they did in the first leg and Poch could make great selections to make this match real fun.

Currently, Manchester City is displaying exceptional performance, igniting my confidence in the team's ability to overcome any opponent they encounter. I firmly believe that both the forthcoming matches against Chelsea and Brentford will result in victories for Manchester City. The rationale behind my conviction lies in the lackluster form exhibited by Chelsea and Brentford at present. Given their subpar performances, it appears highly likely that Manchester City will secure easy triumphs in these encounters.

Shifting focus to the Liverpool versus Brentford fixture, it's evident that Liverpool emerges as the favored contender. With Liverpool's commendable form in recent matches, it seems improbable that Brentford will pose a significant challenge, particularly considering their inconsistent showings. Moreover, Liverpool cannot afford to falter in any fixture, as such setbacks would undoubtedly diminish their prospects of clinching the Premier League title this season.

However, given that Brentford will be playing at home, cautious optimism is warranted given the unpredictable nature of football. Even if Liverpool might be the stronger team going into the game, anything can happen because the underdog frequently takes advantage of unanticipated opportunities to upend the status quo. Therefore, even with Liverpool's superiority, the game versus Brentford is expected to be a captivating show with unexpected turns and turns.

Manchester City who are the defending champions of the league for the 3rd consecutive time are having a sweet run in the defense of their title. They had injury crisis which to an extent affected the team’s performance and many people started seeing them off the title race. Well trust them to alway present us with a shocker as they’re now back in the race with a point below Liverpool and an outstanding match against Brentford. This weekend they play host to Chelsea in a match I feel City will have all 3 points especially judging from the way Chelsea has been inconsistent lately.

Against Brentford later this week, I’ll still tip city to get all 3 points and lead the table as they squad is now back and the whole team now playing with very high determination. For Liverpool they’ll have a match against Brentford this weekend and Liverpool is supposed to win but I feel the injury woes might affect them. Especially as they’ve added new players to their injury list, this will be one big scare for the team and I believe they’ll have to be careful so as not to lose against Brentford but still I’ll tip on Liverpool to either win or get a draw to at least still maintain the fact they’re in a title chase.

PSG achieved another winning streak after an unsatisfactory result occurred in the match against Brest in Ligue 1 because it ended in draw, but the French Cup competition brought these two team together again and PSG avenged the previous draw with big win 3 - 1.
Now it looks like PSG will get more wins and make it possible to become the strongest candidate to become champion in every competition they participate in, PSG will also be able to truly become successful team this season.
For Ligue 1 alone, PSG now has 50 points saved and in second place Nice only has 39 points and it is clear that PSG is team with complete dominance in the Ligue 1 competition, PSG will still be the ruler who cannot be overthrown.
However, this will be different if Mbappe really leaves and I am sure that in that condition PSG will become weak team because they lose the strength they have, PSG will suffer difficult pressure.

PSG are doing well in the French Ligue 1 race, even though it's not as balanced as it ought to. They're a team expected to perform better than they're doing now judging from the performances of previous seasons. They're just a few points ahead and it's very much not buoyant for them as the increase in the league's intensity may unintentionally lead to their drop in position which they as a team shouldn't let to happen.

They've also been able to advance to the round of 16 of the UCL and their Spanish opponent, who's not really a tough side as them but maybe stands a chance to advancing to the next stage. They'll have to be extra prepared for the game ahead. They also have to be careful about their league race. They've got to stay in shape and capacity too. They've got to use the games during the early second half of the season to cover up their tracks and also strive to be far better than Sociedad and even advance to the quarter finals.

Neymar has now returned to the Saudi league to continue his treatment because after all Al Hilal is still responsible for the players it recruits, even though Neymar has not made a convincing contribution to Al Hilal. But at least since Neymar joined Al Hilal it has made the Al Hilal club a popular even though Neymar is suffering from a very long injury and it is very likely that for the remainder of this season Neymar will not be able to join the club because he is still recovering from his injury for quite a long time so Al Hilal will have to be a little patient.

Yes, we all hope that after Neymar recovers he will no longer make Al Hilal feel at a disadvantage because Al Hilal has not felt Neymar's contribution at Al Hilal, whether he can perform as good as when he was at PSG and I also hope that Neymar's performance is still the same and Al Hilal feels at an advantage because His recruitment was not in vain, while Neymar himself must be able to give a good performance to the club that bought him at a very expensive price and show the club that he is a good player.

Al-Hilal wanted Neymar for themselves. Even when he was down with injury issues, still he definitely came back to work for the team. The team has a focus and a target and they're ready to give it their best shot. Not just Neymar in the team, Al-Hilal is likely to recruit European beats to herself. This is team building, they're about to make a name for themselves. All is for the purpose of expansion and growth.

No matter how long it took, Neymar was 99% likely to have a shot at Al-Hilal. They didn't go into talks with him and his agent without a plan for him. We hope to see him bounce back and do beautifully well for the team. Well Neymar might not be able to perform as good as his youthful period but he still got a lot of experience he could impact to the team on and off the field, we all know he's an influential player and that's one thing Al-Hilal would also benefit from his presence in their team.

It's actually quite sad to see a big club like Barcelona experiencing difficulties like this from a financial perspective, which is the main reason why Barcelona is increasingly experiencing setbacks, apart from financial difficulties, management and fans have too high expectations of Barcelona for Xavi Hernandez until finally Xavi gives up because he feels unable to handle the pressure which is too big and if Barcelona continues to lose then everyone will blame Xavi so Xavi decided to leave, after all at Barcelona the salary was not that big so going to another club maybe Xavi would get a salary that was in line with his abilities.

With Xavi's departure, other players like De Jong also want to follow Xavi because he also seems to be unable to stand the current condition of Bacelona. And I think the reason he left was because at Barcelona he didn't get a salary commensurate with his abilities and he wanted to go to a club that didn't there are financial problems, whether Manchester United or Chelsea, both clubs are quite good financially, but I recommend Manchester United more than Chelsea.

The financial situation of Barcelona at the moment doesn't require an irrational spending. It requires careful consideration and study too. Barcelona needs to get out of the situation fast and so they wouldn't dare trade their chances. They've got eyes on some players who are or will also be willing to join them but they just can't squeeze out that funds because it'll lead to another jeopardy.

It's so sad that for the mean time, they'll be left with just free transfer options or low budgeted players. Adding a high rated player in the team would also mean a careful study of his salary incentives and finding a plan that would befit this player and I don't think any player of that stance, would want his salary structure reviewed. The best thing for Barcelona is just endurance whilst finding quick means out of this situation so they'd be back to acquiring the best guys in the game.

I think that xabi will leave from leverkusen in the upcoming season. Im not seeing any chance for him to be coached by ancellotti I think that it doesn't even matter a lot on which club that he will be loaned as long as he will able to get the regular time to play in the main squad and that's good enough.
Madrid has so many midfielders my friend. He can't compete with the senior player in the squad and i think that the best choice for real madrid to send him out from the club as loan. it's caused by this is the best decision for his future. I hope that everything is going to be alright for him in the future.
Arda is still young and he can spend several years to focus on how to get the good experience in other club. Ther'es nothing wrong in sending him out as loan to the another club. Real madrid has too many midfielders this time. i think that this is the main reason to send him as loan to other club.
Arda can try to think by himself to develop his performance and add more experiences to be a great player. Leverkusen is the best choice for him.

Comparing Xabi and Xavi based on their performances with their respective teams won't be fair because these teams weren't on the same level. Leverkusen when Xabi took over had to start from scratch to build up to where they are now but Barcelona has more advantages and quality squad but Xavi failed to capitalize on his assets.

So far Xabi has been a good boss and his methods have worked perfectly for Leverkusen. One would wonder how he managed to put up such feat for the team considering the spot he picked them from. It's one quality that can definitely be found in a good manager. Leverkusen have been impressive in all rounds and it's surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams. It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too.

Previously, Juventus had a very good performance and even became quite great competitor for Inter Milan in the race for the Serie A title this season, Juventus has won lot since the start of the season and has had full points in almost every match.
But it is true that in the last few matches Juventus has had less than optimal results and in the last 3 matches Juventus has only been able to save one point, this is clearly problem for Juventus because they are getting further and further behind in points from Inter Milan who are at the top of the standings.
Firstly, Juventus played against Empoli and had to suffer draw with their mainstay striker who was given red card, namely Arkadiusz Milik, in the second match Juventus lost to Inter Milan with score of 0 - 1 and in the last match it was against the lower team Udinese with defeat score of 0 - 1 and this was bad three games for Juventus.
If in the future Juventus does not change the game for the better and fix each of these problems for the better, then it is possible that Juventus could go down and no longer occupy second place in the standings.
If stating that Allegri was at fault for this failure was actually appropriate because he as coach was unable to give his best and enable his players to produce winning results, he should have been able to overcome the problems that occurred even though it was about the main players who had to be absent from the match due to suspension.

The season hasn't been quite adventurous for Juventus as they've been indicted to not taking part in the Europa League. They've been focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they've been doing excellently well in it. They've even got a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too. Although inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form.

The team are using this season to put in more work to ensure a spot in next season's European cup tournament and they definitely would earn it. Their encounter in the passing weeks were very much intense and the results were well deserving but it only pushes them ahead to prepare better for other games which they can take to their advantage too. Juventus are good to go to some extent only if extra energy wants to be pumped into the squad to increase their efficiency too.

Winning two titles in this competition is not easy for Bayern Munich at the moment.
For the Bundesliga with five points behind the most consistent team this season is not an easy thing to pursue because their competitors have successfully answered many doubts by successfully maintaining an unbeaten record this season and beating Bayern with a landslide score is the clearest answer that Bayer is not a team that will allow Bayern to dominate the Bundesliga especially this season.
As for the Champions League, although their appearance is very disappointing but to qualify for the quarterfinals is still wide open, and should be 1 goal behind Lazio is not a problem for Bayern Munich to overcome it in the second match.
Will Thomas Tuchel leave Bayern Munich, either because he was fired or his own decision? I think it is wide open because it is impossible for management to be silent when their dominance, especially in the Bundesliga, is broken this season because this is not a pleasant thing.

Over the years, every season, we've seen certain teams leading the top chart of the Bundesliga and there's been some levels of consistency especially for Munich who's most of the time finished at the first position. Before now, Leverkusen and Stuttgart weren't even seen near the top four, it was always a Munich, Dortmund show but there's been much of a difference this season.

Now there's a kinda rub shoulders between these teams, Leverkusen and Stuttgart who's been on the sidelines for seasons have now come up to be competitive for the trophy. Since the season began, they've been able to be threats to the trophy race, Munich now have to be extra cautious in their games too. They've had a tough weekend game against Monchengladbach though but still they stood out. For Leverkusen, against Darmstadt away from home was very much impactful and advantageous to their advancement on the league standings too.

Also for Stuttgart who's been doing their best to keep their spot in the top 4 space. It's very much impression that this season took a different turn in the Bundesliga. Leipzig and Dortmund still have to strive to regain back their usual space on the table because currently, they're seemingly below the top 3, although with not much points difference which they still have a chance to meet up with.

The cyberbullying of Iwobi is just because Nigeria lost the competition. Nobody would have talked about his performance if Nigeria had won the trophy. Iwobi played the role he was assigned to by the coach and that was why he was featured always. Jose Peseiro forced the Nigerian side to play mainly defensive football and used just counter-attacks and this style made Iwobi less productive. He was practically relegated to play as a defender which led to less connectivity with the attack.

Cyberbullying is not strange in football, especially in very passionate countries like Nigeria. He should see this attack as a challenge to improve his game and contribute more to the Super Eagles. I was happy that he was among the players that visited the president, some players would have departed to their clubs in anger.

It's very much expected that cyber bullying should occur at some instances but it is agreed upon that the act has its detrimental effect on the victim which can at thesame time be long term. Over time, we've seen cases of it happening especially in the football world and you wont blame the players and still not blame the bullies.

Even though yes as fans, we've got every reason to get good performances from our players and then in the end of their tussle we don't get the desired result, let's know that it isn't enough reason to castigate the players totally as some or most times it isn't always their fault. We can criticize but bullying should not be an option, cause it could kill a players confidence level or lead them to depression. We all should know where to draw the curtain too. I just hope that the AFCOn bully on Alex Iwobi will be ended and he'll get the chance to regain back his mental health and strength too.

The red card was hurting the club abd bayern's performance was so bad. It's very pathetic to see that how bayern was missing the chance to lead the match against lazio. Lazio is now having 1 goal aggregate against bayern which was not able scoring even a goal to help the club in equalize the result to the lazio.
I hope that bayern will able to change the situation during the second half. Bayern was taking the wrong strategy to face lazio. I have seen that how bayern was facing difficulty many times to win the club. That sucks and many bayern fans are feeling very disappointed with it and me as a bettor and i can't even say something regarding this.
Losing my bet due to the garbage performance from bayern munich. This club sucks and i must say that if tuchel is not able improving the club from bottom to the top. The opposite thing was just happening when bayern keeps to get another lose and it's very disappointing many people.
The second leg can be passed by lazio easily as long as the club will be playing fully defensive against bayern munich. that being said that if bayern will be fully offensive to score as many goals as possible. As long as lazio will able to create the big wall strategy then it may be winning in the second leg.
The main weakness from the fully offensive club to face a club that was using parking buss strategy. this is the key to beat bayern in UCL. I won't bet for this match coz the result is quite hard to predic.t

Despite the red card,I think Bayern Munich's performance was really awful, they were the least expected to lose that game but then the reverse was the case, i think their fans would really be disappointed at them losing to Lazio even though they're away from home. However it a good thing that they managed to defend properly after conceding a goal, which means there's hope for them in the returning leg. Thomas Tuchel should do everything possible to win that game else if they get kicked out in this stage then it means his managerial days at Bayern Munich would come to an end after this season.

However the club that suprised me yesterday is PSG, they won 2-0 against Real Sociedad and their performance in the game was brilliant, does it mean that PSG are back in the UCL, could this be their season, well let's see how it goes. But I amazed that the were victorious without much help from their star player Mbappé in finding the back of the net.

Tottenham has been showing good progress recently because their last loses in Premier League was happened on December last year and since that match Tottenham was never suffering to lost again and their records is 3 wins and 2 draw even last week Tottenham has successfully to beat Brighton at their home ground so this result makes them can taking over 4th place from Aston Villa and this weekend Tottenham will gets tough opponent Wolves and i know from squad quality Tottenham is more good than Wolves but sometimes Wolves can able to performing well and they were very often to makes some of big teams get in trouble even Chelsea this season have to lost twice against them

Wolves sometimes hard to beated and the latest is Manchester United have to hard struggling to beat them even if we see based on head to head statistics between Tottenham and Wolves i can see Tottenham has poor records from Wolves even Tottenham has got 2 losing streak from Wolves so this is big challenge for Tottenham whether they can able to improved their records from Wolves or not and the competition for top 4 position is very tight especially Tottenham only have 1 difference point above to Aston Villa so if they lost from this match then Aston Villa has good chances to taking over their position and according to the odds i can see Tottenham has small odds for this match which mean they are the favourite

The hotspurs are one of the teams that started very brilliantly this season and it helped them to still maintain the top 4 currently, they've managed to get a good coach with lots of ambition and zeal to get them to the peak, he's tried to make his squad one to be scared of and his style of play is very unique, if only the board would support him with lots of funds to strengthen his team very well, I think they’ll be one of the top challenger of the league in recent times.

Well they had a good game last week against Brighton, defeating them 2-1 in their home ground and putting a smiles on the faces of their supporters, it's a good thing the AFCON and Asian Cup tournaments are over and now their key players are back to help them fight for a top 4 spot on the standings. I think in their next match against Wolverhampton they might encounter a little difficult challenge but I believe they'll scale through in that match.
