Sporting beat Leiria in the Portuguese Cup game, and as expected from Sporting they scored many goals again. This is a sequence of games in which Sporting has managed to score many goals, at least more than 2 goals they can score easily, with this victory Sporting just needs to wait to see how Benfica and Porto will do to plan the next steps, I say this because I only see Porto and Benfica as the only teams that can beat Sporting in this competition and speaking of Porto, Porto's game against Santa Clara was postponed because the field was not good due to the water there on the field, do not allow the ball to circulate normally. These are things that happen.

But even so, I see Porto winning this game when it resumes, today there is Benfica's game against Vizela, I see Benfica coming out victorious in this game. Vizela is a team that in the last 5 games has conceded a lot of goals and has not beaten any team in the last 4 games, I highly doubt that they will be able to beat Benfica, who in the last 2 games has been a team with a strong attack and has managed to score a lot of goals. , I don't know if Benfica's coach will choose to rotate players since they are in a situation that is not comfortable in the league and need to have all their good players available and there are European league games coming up soon

Yes, in that match the only goal scored was Alex Berenguer's penalty kick in the 25th minute against Atletico Madrid. So when the referee blew the long whistle for the second half, Atletico Madrid had not been able to equalize and had to accept defeat in the first leg against Bilbao.

However, in my opinion, in this match the Atletico Madrid players played quite well. The reason is, Atletico Madrid players created many opportunities in the first half and also in the second half. But unfortunately, none of these opportunities resulted in a goal. Maybe in this first leg Atletico Madrid could be said to be unlucky even though they were playing at home. Because if you look at the performance of the two teams, in my opinion Atletico Madrid is superior to Bilbao. However, one mistake resulted in Bilbao being awarded a penalty kick, which turned out to be Bilbao's patented goal.

However, in the second leg, I am very optimistic that Atletico Madrid will definitely be able to beat Bilbao. The reason is that in the second leg, Atletico Madrid will definitely correct the mistakes made in the first leg and will definitely maximize the opportunities that exist. Even though in the second leg Bilbao will play at home, and will be calmer because they are already 1 goal ahead, this is not a big guarantee that Bilbao can win the match. So in my personal opinion, Atletico Madrid can definitely beat Bilbao in the second leg and in essence can reach the Copa Del Rey final.

And regarding the competition between Sociedad and Mallorca, I also agree that Sociedad is a strong candidate who can advance to the Copa Del Rey final.

The victory achieved by Al Ittihad was an extraordinary victory, why not? because Al Taee was defeated at home by the Al Ittihad Team with a landslide victory of 3-0 without any reply. In my opinion, Al Ittihad played very well and neatly because in the first half alone they were able to score 2 goals without reply and with this victory of course the Al Ittihad players took advantage of their more aggressive attitude and put pressure on the Al Taee squad. defense. However, unlike the Al Taee players, Al Ittihad scored 2 goals in the first half, making the Al Taee players' performance decline and they lacked confidence so they were unable to score a goal back for Al Ittihad in the first half.

Yes, I also thought about why Karim Banzema was not used or was on the bench, whether he was training specifically to support Al Ittihad in the next match. It could be that this is coach Gallardo's plan or strategy not to play Karim Benzema.

because it seems to me that they haven't thought about having a strong team capable of winning the European champions league. Barcelona management should learn lessons from real madrid who have always made good signings but had some bad luck in signing good players but when they arrived at real madrid they were unable to do their best, but real madrid didn't stand still , they rushed to sign other good young players, and today, real madrid is a very strong team in the league and has a greater chance of becoming la liga champions, yet real madrid is looking at good players on the market, especially mbappe, This is because Real Madrid is a team of visionary managers

They know how to look to the future, they know that having Mbappe in the team would be a big step towards winning the European Champions League, while Barcelona seem to be a disorganized team who don't know what direction they should take yet. Since Messi and so many good players from Messi's time left the team, Barcelona has become a directionless team. In any case, we will see how far Barcelona has managed to reach, in June Xavi is leaving the team, we will see which coach will take the risk of accepting to be Barcelona's coach, because it will be a very tiring type of work.

This week looks very exciting because apart from the Roma vs Inter match, there is also a big match that we should not miss and this time Milan will face Napoli at the San Siro. In general, it is clear that Milan will win, especially since they are still one of the teams that has been consistent so far and have not lost in the last 5 matches. Meanwhile, Napoli, which we know is very bad this season, has only won 2 wins in the last 5 matches.

It's really sad to see that Napoli's performance has dropped drastically from expectations and they are currently in 7th position in the standings. Apart from that, if we look at the H2H for both teams the results are very varied from wins to defeats and it is possible that the results will still be quite difficult to predict. What is clear is that the last meeting between the two ended in a draw and it is possible that with the current situation the result would still be the same. Milan is still in a safe position and no team is bothering them, but Napoli really need full points if they want to overtake Bologna. Maybe betting over 2.5 goals is still a safe option for a fierce match like this.

for me, Leverkusen does not have a safe position because it continues to be chased by Bayern Munich, which has never shifted its position, but this should be a big question, why hasn't Bayern Munich shifted Leverkusen? meanwhile, Bayern Munich could have replaced Leverkusen since that time because Munich performance was very strong, but it seemed as if Munich was giving Leverkusen a chance and would eventually be shifted towards the end of the season.
what I learned from the journey of these two teams is that Leverkusen is always consistent without being defeated but Munich is always chasing points Leverkusen, but when they had the opportunity to overtake Leverkusen, Munich actually lost against a weak team and after that, when Leverkusen gave them a big point difference, Munich was surprisingly able to continue chasing him with an always narrow point difference.

I'm afraid this is a strategy used Bayern Munich to embarrass a popular team like that time when Dortmund was knocked out in the last match of last season and this could happen if Leverkusen and Bayern Munich don't have a big difference in points. I'm sure Dortmund bad luck will be repeated Leverkusen in the season.
on the one hand, being at the top of the standings but always under pressure makes players have to work hard which results in fatigue towards the end of the season and performance will decline.

Yes, De Rossi has indeed proven to everyone that he is not a bad coach, that's why Roma appointed him as coach because Roma saw that this coach had better potential than Jose Mourinho and currently De Rossi has given positive results since his debut. and now Roma has moved up to a better ranking thanks to its winning streak.

However, this is still an initial challenge for De Rossi because he will face quite difficult matches in the next 2 matches, namely against Inter Milan, who is currently at the top of the standings, and against Feyenoord, a club that has been relegated from the Champions League. Talking about the domestic league, it looks like Inter Milan is still superior in this match and will probably beat Roma.

So, if we talk about the European league, it seems that Roma still has a chance because in the last few matches between these two clubs, Roma dominated the victory, but yes, that was when they were still coached by Jose Mourinho, but this time Roma has a different coach. Let's see if De Rossi can overcome this challenge in the next 2 matches

RB Leipzig and Copenhagen will find it hard to beat their opponents in their game, but it will be an achievement for them since they have tried and struggled to make it to the round of 16 in the championship league. Just as you mentioned, any team that made it so far to the round of 16 deserves to be appreciated, even though they end up losing and not qualifying for the quarterfinals, but they struggled to be in the round of 16. Which is also not an easy task.

It would even be a big disgrace for Manchester City if they tried to make a mistake to even go on a draw with Copenhagen, because it has happened before in the Europa League when their game ended at a score of 2-2. and also in the Champions League when the score ended in 0-0, but for Real Madrid and RB Leipzig, they just met in two games so far, and Real Madrid won one while RB Leipzig got the luck to win the other one, so I have more faith in Real Madrid winning their game against RB Leipzig than that of Manchester City against Copenhagen.

You are right, they have a very strong team and many players from the Nigerian squad are star players from strong European teams so they have the advantage to actually win in the final and also considering that they played against Ivory Coast in the group stage and won them 1-0 it will give them more confidence to play better against them in the final.

We can say all this in our mind but it wouldn’t mean Nigeria will win that day, it will depend on their performance and how highly spirited they play on Sunday. Ivory Coast would not want what happened in the group stage should happen again they will not want to lose to Nigeria again and also they would not want to disappoint their fans by losing in the final on their home soil after making their way to the final.

So far Nigeria have been unbeaten in the tournament and i hope they can end the tournament unbeaten to lift the trophy. As a Nigerian i hope they win in the final and bring home the trophy.

In addition, even there was also a news reported that if chelsea players were regretting their mistakes to join in the club with long term contract.

It's not only fans were also feeling upset but the players too. Even enzo's agent has been also starting to talk about the potential of his client to leave from the club. Im feeling so damn bad with this club. Chelsea is always consistently making a lot of blunders any game. This club is always performing so poorly like there was no bounding on it.
The players were playing individually even some were so stubborn and it's also destroying the gameplay from the club. Pochettino keep make more excuses and this is also affecting the performance from chelsea too.

Chelsea has been trying so hard to make a better set up but it was always failed caused by it has the most stupidest coach who was always rotating the players in any game. He was also putting some players not in their actual positions too.
It was very bad for chelsea caused by a lot of players may be leaving from there if there will be lucrative offer from different team. The won against aston villa can at least show us a little be improvement happened to the club but this club is still having pathethic performance in EPL.

Todd doesn't understand that at all. I have been saying this since he took over at Chelsea. He thinks getting players is all it takes. He's just spending money, buying every available players and youngster, but it's obvious that strategy is not working.

What he should have done is get board members that know what they're doing. Get the right sporting directors and let them put their heads together and hire a good coach. A coach that can handle a rebuilding project. That coach should be able to pick the players he wants the club to sign and the clubs do whatever they can to sign the coach's choice. The coach will choose players who can work with him, and players who understand his style. This should have been the first step for Chelsea. Instead, they just went ahead and bought a player for a coach that hoat has not proved himself at the top level.

To make everything worse they hired Lampard after sacking Potter and they hired Pochettino. These are decisions that show they don't know what they're doing up there.
What Chelsea needs now is a proper rebuild. They should forget about trophies, they should go back to the drawing board and start from the beginning. Right every wrong that they have made and that starts with getting the right people for each job.

I am hopeful for the Ajax to have third spot into league table until end of this season because now every week they are improving their performance and their results are also allowing them to have better chance for this with in last five matches AZ Alkmaar having 3 points and Ajax 11 which cut the deficit and now both are on level Twente having 6 points difference which is surely interesting but if Ajax are able to give their 100% then surely things could be favourable for them, and they will be achieved but how Twente will perform this is also important.

Ajax vs PSV were interesting and both give their best but in second half I believe Ajax were better even they fail to take any advantage, but things are going good for them and their future until end because they are not back in business.

Since news emerged that Benzema would leave Al Ittihad, at that time I thought the news was definitely not true. Then in the end my assessment turned out to be correct. The reason is that in one of the news media, Benzema once said that all this news was just lies. So after I read the news, I became even more convinced that Benzema would definitely stay at Al Ittihad. Although from the start of the season until now Benzema's performance at Al Ittihad has not been optimal. But that doesn't mean Benzema will just give up and move to another club. Therefore, Benzema will definitely fight hard to be able to show his best performance at Al Ittihad for the remainder of this season.

So when saw that Benzema had returned to training with his teammates at Al Ittihad, all the fake news had been clearly proven to be lies. Therefore, now Al Ittihad fans and also Benzema fans are definitely more relieved by this. Even though in the Al Ittihad versus Al Tae match, Benzema has not yet played. But I'm sure that in the next match, Benzema will definitely play again. Because in the next match Al Ittihad will compete in the Asian Champions League (ACL) against Navbahor. So in this match Benzema's abilities will definitely be needed, therefore it is very likely that Benzema will return as the main starter for Al Ittihad.

Injury is the best thing that can ruin a player's career; we have seen a lot of players fail to reach their potential due to injuries, and Dembele is one of them. Before his injury, he was one of Dortmund's greatest players, and opponents used to be afraid of him during games. However, because of his injury, his performance changed, even though he could still perform well and even dribble quickly enough to score a goal when he moved to Barcelona. Barcelona also liked Dembele and wanted him to be one of their future players, but he chose to leave Barcelona in order to join PSG.

I didn't see Dembele's fault because he is a player with big dreams and wants to win as many trophies as possible, but this season his own in PSG is not that good in my opinion because since he joined PSG he has not scored more than three goals. I believe that Dembele left Barcelona because Barcelona could not give him what he wanted. You will see that Barcelona fans don't like him again as a result of Dembele's departure.

we'll see how Mbappe determines his future because Mbappe is still a mystery that is difficult to predict and if Mbappe is thinking about his career, he will definitely leave PSG and join a team that can provide more guarantees for winning the UCL title in the future, but if in the future Mbappe If he has to stay at PSG, I'm very sure that he doesn't think about his career but only thinks about a big salary.
but for a player who has high quality talent, he should not only think about a big salary when he is young, he should choose to get a career and be able to get a prestigious title to increase his market value in the future, except when he is a little older, Mbappe can think about a big salary, but for now I prefer if he goes to Real Madrid or an EPL team.

what I am currently thinking is whether there will be new problems or drama like last season when Real Madrid tried to get Mbappe and I think PSG has great wealth and could keep Mbappe with a bigger salary offer but as long as his contract is up Mbappe has the power to deciding where he will go and staying at PSG is the same as throwing away his youth career without any development and will not have more experience in the future.

The only advantage owned by roma to play at home. I don't see that a valid reason other than it to become advantage compared to the intermilan. In my opinion if this is a serious problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible. Rossi needs to think which the most suitable strategy to be implemented against intermilan.
Doing a small mistake will be costing the win streak of roma and three points. Rossi needs to take a wise decision to make sure his club will not be losing against roma but i personally going all in on intermilan right now. It's caused by intermilan looked like a perfect club in all of aspects.
There shall not be a problem to be made between any players in the team. Doing a small blunder will be making roma to lose a chance to get three points from intermilan. Intermilan was very strong even when it must be playing away. I will not be surprised if roma will be losing against intermilan.
it will be a common thing caused by intermilan is still staying at the first place and we do know that how strong intermilan is right now. The club is just even more solid compared to the previous season. Intermilan may be dominating serie a till last game.

The way Leverkusen are performing this season is amazing. None of us expected Leverkusen to perform so well this season. And will be able to hold the top spot in the points table for a long time. With the help of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen have been able to maintain their consistent performance and hold the top spot in the points table for such a long time. Leverkusen is still unbeaten in Europa League and Bundesliga.

We all are eagerly waiting to watch the match between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen. Bayern Munich could not beat Leverkusen in their home match. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. The next match is Leverkusen's home match. Leverkusen will certainly not want to lose at home. It will be very difficult for Bayern Munich to get 3 points in this match.

Leverkusen's main striker Boniface will miss this match due to injury. However, several important players from Bayern Munich's squad such as Manuel Neuer, Konrad Laimer, Coman and Kim Min jae will not be in the squad. So I think the match will be very competitive.

 Wow! What a thrilling and suspenseful game! Nigeria have finally gone through to the finals and I must say they deserve this spot. Believe me, on a normal day South Africa are not match to the Super eagles, but they really proved hard to beat and after they equalized later on in the game, I noticed their confidence returned and would have proved deadly if they had capitalized on their chances.
This display by Nigeria shows that they can achieve anything if they set their minds to it and even the great penalty stopper in Ronwen Williams, the South Africa keeper could not stop them.
 Although this is not what they would have wanted, at least South Africa don't get to be kicked out of the tournament, they should be happy to be consoled with third place match as the Super eagles are just too big and out of their league to defeat.

IMO onana was only being helped by his luck since his career in the professional football. How can someone who has slow reflect like him become a professional goal keeper? it doesn't even make sense to see that. MU has been conceded more than 50 goals and i expect it to be very close to the 90 goals till the end of season.
Manchester is just manchester united. It's a team which has been managed by an amateur coach. I personally consider ten hag as an ameteur coach rather than a professional coach. It's caused by it can be seen from how poor he was managing the set up in manchester united.

Ten hag was also very bad in the scouting the players too. More than 150 millions wasted for onana, mount and hojlund but the result is really dissatisfied me. The only good thing if the attacking line was able helping the club to win the game even though manchester united was always conceded a lot of goals.
It's not acceptable to see that the poor performance from manchester united. Im hoping that united to sort out it all by sacking onana and buy new defenders and goal keeper. This is the only best solution to fix all of issues in the club.
Onana was a flop and he deserves to be benched.

For a transition period like Chelsea, Mourinho is the right person for instant results. His coaching character which can bring a club to success in a short period is a consideration, if Chelsea management is no longer confident in Pochettino's performance. The change in club ownership changed Chelsea overall direction, including the way they invested in potential young players, which proved to be a complete failure. It is very likely that Chelsea management will give Pochettino a guarantee until he completes the Carabao Cup final. Rumors of Pochettino dismissal are getting louder after the defeat to Wolves. If he fails in the final, it is certain that his coaching chair will be lost.

His experience with Chelsea is very good, Mourinho is the first person who can open the gates of success for Chelsea in the last two decades. Indeed, he was considered mediocre when he was with Roma, but with Chelsea budget, Mourinho can work optimally to bring the club to success. Pochettino is not the right person for Chelsea, he cannot deliver trophies and cannot make Chelsea appear in the Champions League next season.
