Ademola Lookman is player who was raised by English football and he has developed very well so that now his performance as striker is also very competitive.
With Nigeria he has provided 3 goals and 1 assist in 5 matches in the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations.
Ademola Lookman also played quite well with Atalanta because as core player Atalanta Lookman also did not disappoint.
So far Lookman has truly been one of Nigeria best players and he has had big influence on the strength of the team during the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations competition.

Nigeria has entered the semifinals and Nigeria is certain to easily win the match to advance to the final.
This will be very good opportunity for Nigeria to become champions and of course the hope is truly on the shoulders of every player in the fight for the title in 2024.

Lookman is one very key player in this Super Eagles team and he’s on his way to becoming the MVP of the tournament as he needs probably a goal and maybe an assist to his name. He’s currently having 3 goals and an assist to his name and he’s looking unstoppable. Well he was raised in England and played in the Engalnd U-21 but yet chose Nigeria senior team and yes his positive impact is being felt in the team. He’s not just being felt at the Super Eagles camp but also his club side, Atalanta as he remains a key part of their attack.

Well we’ll say Lookman is one of those players that believes in hardwork and consistency and it’s really paying off for him. He still has lots of impact to make in this Afcon as his goals have helped Nigeria sail through to the Semis. I’ll love to see the players keep fighting for the badge to bring the trophy home and I know it’s very possible as they’re all determined to do so.

I think that how competitive PSG in the french league will not affect the performance from the club in the UCL. PSG doesn't have messi and neymar. The club was not as strong as when la pulga was there and so i think that PSG will have small chance to win UCL this season. It's caused by real madrid and bayern munich have been coming back with better form right now. I think that PSG's chance will be very small. This is also the last season of mbappe to play in UCL with PSG caused by he will be leaving from the club soon. PSG has been trying many times to get into the final of UCL but it was alwasy failed.
I remind you that how french league was not as competitive as other league like serie a or even premier league. It's meaningless to take french league as a measurement to determine how strong PSG is rght now.
People can hope this team to win UCL but i personally is still feeling doubt about the performance from PSG in UCL. It has not yet faced the strongest club like munich or real madrid. intermilan is also very strong caused by it's very balanced team in serie a.
It's also still leading the competition in italy as well. The chance for PSG to get UCL is very small compared to those clubs who were being favored to be the winner of UCL this season.

Well psg style of play in the French League is duly expected but should not be used when rating them in the UCL. Yes because the French League is still one very local league that they keep and will keep dominating. In the UCL, they’re hungry for success and it’s seeming all blur as they weren’t able to make it happen when they had Messi and Neymar and now Mbappe is leaving and it’s still looking like it won’t be a reality. This still balls down to proper investment on the side of psg and other French League clubs.

Yea the other clubs needs to improve their play so that that will help Psg sit up and won’t fumble when they get to play other big clubs in the UCL. When they remain relaxed and rely on how they play in the French League then they’re not bound to achieve anything at all. Psg should make proper investment so as to get a fit replacement or replacements for Mbappe and build a good squad depth where all players are actively involved then I think they’ll start challenging top European teams.

Im not seeing a chance for rossi to get a new player to strengthen the club. This is the consequences of him to be a new coach for the poor club like roma but i remember that if rossi was also amateur coach as well. This is not a problem for him.
Rossi has not had time but he was not also getting money to strengthen the squad too. It's bad to have big expectations to the as roma. I have learned a lot what happened to the mourinho in the past.

Even mourinho had sent his complaint to the club caused by this club was so stingy in giving the coach fresh funds to strengthen the club. Rossi had so many limitations in the squad. Roma will not able to give him money to build the club.
Believe me or not if roma is poorest club in the serie a.

Well a club will need proper investment so as to be able to succeed and achieve positive results. Well Roma is one club that doesn’t have the funds to get the signings; and that’s one issue Jose has. Well De Rossi will have to try to use available resources and not complain because his complaints might not probably hold any water. He’s got to make use of the current team and try to get UCL spot next season.

This is quite one heavy task especially as there are no funds to make the required signings you want. We’ll let’s see what he’ll do with this current squad but I can bet he’ll do no better than Jose who was in charge. Investment is of key importance to a club’s success and Roma board should understand this and make funds available when called upon to do so by De Rossi. He’ll have to implement his own philosophy and that’ll be possible when he’s got his own players. So i think the board should be willing to help him get his desired players.

Ok so you were not saying that Mbappe could die anytime soon I guess because you were talking about the uncertainty of whether he will survive or not. I am not sure why you are talking about his health or a deadly disease when there are no news on the internet to be found that he is deadly ill. As far as I know he is in great condition and if he was ill and could die I think it would have long been public news. That's why I was surprised why you are talking about his life soon perhaps coming to an end. But maybe you were talking about his contract at PSG and then used the word "survive"? It is pretty weird though.

It's a player's decision if he wants to stay in a club or leave, also it depends on his contract signed with the team as well as the teams decision to either keep him or let him go. In PSG, Mbappe is one key man that they don't want to give off yet. Even though his contract is set to expire by summer, they still know he's advantageous and would want to keep him. For Mbappe, his stay in the team beyond and after the expiration of the contract seems to be dependent on his intentions as well as the teams performance in the long run.

Good thing for him that Madrid may not really be interested in him yet until summer so he's got to be a bit patient till then, then maybe, he'd be willing to join the Spanish side. Even though Liverpool are questing for him as well, ion think they'll be set to afford that amount for him during this January transfer window. Let's just see how the next 30days would be as regards Mbappe and teams surrounding him.

It seems benzema was not trying to reconsidering his decision numerous times. Benzema is now feeling so confuse whether he stay or leave from the club. So many teams linked to him, but there's no answer from him, which is strange.Benzema shall make everything clear rather than always try to make public feel so confused about his choice.
I think that people will be losing their patience caused by the inconsistency from him. People have been expecting a lot for him to join in the EPL club but he seemed refuse it caused by there was no update regarding the deal of him with the agent from EPL club.

The constant waste of time by such a skilled player like him is always a source of great disappointment. There must be some decisions to be made by him. I just sawy him to be as complicated as mbappe transfer. I don't know what his main consideration was that was also making him so slow in taking the decision.,
He was always disappointing the public with his inconsistency. he was saying A then a few days later he changes to the B. Benzema is not the same like when he was playing for real madrid. There are lots of thing have changed a lot from him.

It can be seen from how he could not decide his decision as soon as possible. Im yet seeing the real benzema here. i may find it once he will pick which club that is gonna be his destination.

The switch to any club in some situations is a decision to be made by the player. Benzema has had quite an eventful time with Madrid. He impacted the team in his own special level of performance. Definitely he's got to get for himself widespread experience.

In this case, he's got to consider a number of factors and they are technically a determinant of how effective their new move decision would be for them. An EPL club move won't be a bad option for Benzema to pick even though the league is very much competitive, adding that he's advancing gradually in age and so he's got a few impacts that he can make before retirement. I'm still pretty sure that he still got the experience to assist any team he ends up joining.

Leverkusen have an easy opponent this week because their opponent is Darmstadt, who is the bottom team in the standings. If you look at Leverkusen who really need points, they certainly won't miss the opportunity to get full points in the match against Darmstadt. Indeed, unpredictable results often occur when big teams meet low-ranked teams. But with Leverkusen consistency this season, I don't think there will be any obstacles for them to continue winning.Well Leverkusen is very comfortable this week because their opponents are quite weak. But for Bayern Munich, Bayern will face Borussia Mönchengladbach which might make it difficult for them to achieve maximum results in this match. But looking at the competition that is going on I think either Leverkusen or Bayern Munich they will focus every match on getting 3 points.

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 January transfer window has closed so Osimhen will continue with Napoli this season and it is very likely that he will stay with Napoli for a long time. I see that Napoli have high hopes for osimhen this season, he is expected to perform better in the second half of this season to bring napoli back to the top 4 rankings. Of course, Osimhen has become an attraction for elite European teams because of his good quality with Napoli in the previous season.

Looking at Napoli journey this season, of course they still have a good chance of achieving their target. Because seeing that the point difference is so close to each other will allow them to easily move up to a better ranking if they are able to get 3 points in the match they will play.
Napoli will face Verona in tomorrow's match where napoli will play at home, of course this is a match they have to try to find 3 points. But in this match of course Napoli was not strengthened by Osimhen because Osimhen was still defending the country in the African Cup. For this reason, Napoli front line still has hope for Raspadori performance because he was the spearhead of napoli in the match against Lazio.

Oshimen is a great asset to Napoli. He still has a lot in store for them and it'll be very hard to let him go. Although the decision will be his to make at the termination of his contract with the club and I believe whichever move he decides to make will be in his best interest. Yes Chelsea are aiming for him but will be want to join them? I don't think either that currently Chelsea would be able to contain his capacity and even help him get boosted. Chelsea as a team are lagging behind and they sincerely pose a threat to a better outcome of his efforts with them.

Also considering Real Madrid as an option, they've got more advantage than Chelsea because they're in the toppest form possible and they've got young, vibrant and agile players that can suit and complement Oshimen. He personally would enjoy his time with Madrid. Real Madrid are just one team that are undeniable good and the envy of every other teams, many more young players will be so eager to join Madrid, they've got a perfect manager for them at the moment and even after his exit from the club, the options for them are still at the toppest form, Alonso or Zidane would surely be a better head to the complete Real Madrid team.

In La Liga, Real Madrid already have a reserve of points and therefore there is an opportunity to make a mistake (I think they can easily lose 3 points twice and still end up being first and with a reserve) since their advantage over Barcelona and Atlético is 10 points . As for Girona, now the bookmakers rate it worse - I see that for away games the odds of winning are around 1.8, which means that Girona, according to the bookmakers, will lose points quite often.
Atlético is a difficult opponent and this season the overall score in games so far is in favor of Atlético 2-1, but I don’t think that Real will lose the third game.

Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance. Even though Girona even Girona is playing perfectly, I didn't expect Girona to win when they faced Barcelona because Barcelona is also in good shape, especially since the match took place at Barcelona's home. The most surprising part for me was that Girona actually defeated Barcelona.

But in my opinion it still won't be that easy because to become a leader in La Liga you have to have deeper experience. even competing with popular teams in La Liga is not an easy task because popular teams have more experience with various strategies to be able to regain their position first. but I really hope there is something different this season Girona must become the leader in La Liga to see new history without the boredom of seeing every season led by a team that always dominates La Liga. Madrid for sure won't make it so easy for them and so let's anticipate how the remaining weeks of the season would turn out.

But I don't think Ajax will be able to win that game. I am not underestimating Ajax but currently there is not a single team that can beat PSV in the league this season. I think if Ajax can perform at their best then at least they can get a draw. Ajax is certainly motivated to become the first team to beat PSV in the league but it seems like an impossible mission.

I don't think Feyenoord is thinking about reducing the points gap with PSV. Because after all I think catching up to a 12 point difference will be very difficult. I think Feyenoord is aiming for victory because they want to strengthen their position in second place in the standings.

Ajax have not been at their best performances but they've definitely been winning games and have been consistent to it. Definitely a coach has his own impact in a team, once the head is faulty, there'll always be loopholes. It means a lot for a team to get victorious consecutively in a row and for Ajax, that's caused a gradual improvement regardless not doubting that they still have to put in more work. They've got players no doubt but the squad needs to be better, Ajax is a team better than a narrow win, at the moment though, finding the right player who's top and ready in all areas to give that competitive capacity in both the domestic league and the European leagues will be hard.

Their inconsistency is unhealthy and they just have to find a way to stop the wins from occuring through a narrow means. One would anticipate their forthcoming game against top contenders PSV and it'll definitely be an intense game. But since Ajax will be the host, it's expected that they're able to have a good performance rating.

Agreed but it's saddened me to see that there were also many players are leaving from the league as well. The impact from ronaldo was big but the exodus from the players were coming from european competitions are also very big too. I think that if we must say based on the result from the current standing.
Al nassr was not as strong as al hilal in the saudi pro league. The club is also able performing even better compared to the al nassr and that's a common thing when we are seeing that if al hilal has bigger chance to win the game caused by al hilal deserved it. The consistency from the club is the right answer for that.

Im also concerning about how consistent al hilal in other competition too. Al nassr had ronaldo but remember this is a competitong for eleven players and it's not only ronaldo that is playing in al nassr right now.
Other club like al hilal was also using eleven players to participate in the saudi pro league. This means that if it doesn't even matter how good the performance from ronaldo but the eleven players of al nassr will be determining the result.

People shall not feel jealous caused by al nassr was topping the competition. The standing can change anytime as long as al hilal will be missing the points and this is the hardest to happen. it's caused by im also aware how good al hilal this season is.
There are no a lot of changes in the club too.

Based on the agenda of the Saudi Pro League striving to create visibility and awareness in the European space with the major goal of ensuring an expanded sports market, the clubs find themselves in a situation where there's less utilization of local players. These players have no doubt some certain level of effects to a club but the aims of these clubs won't allow for the players to be used. It'll only make sense that a policy be put in place for the use of local players in every team but I don't think that'll be enough to take them to where they visioned the league to get to.

SPL wants to be broadcasted and be seen worldwide and this makes for the rapid purchase and push for European stars who'd cause focus to gradually be shifted to their league. If the local players are entertained, then there'd definitely be no room for this hot caked stars in Europe and in the long run, it won't give them the focus they want to get. All things in the SPL currently occurs as a planned activity, and they are all working towards a set goal. It's only a gradual process before the impacts are seen.

Yes, as you said, PSG will definitely get 3 more points in this match because it is true that PSG went home by stealing 3 points from Strasbourgh. There is no doubt that in this match PSG will win even though Strasbough was able to create a goal opportunity in the 68th minute. But that goal it didn't mean anything for PSG because PSG continued to maintain a tight defense so that Strasbourgh couldn't equalize even though they took many shots at PSG's goal but only 1 was converted into a goal.

Currently PSG has collected 47 points with a 9 point advantage over Nice but Nice still has 1 match remaining that has not been played, and tomorrow Nice will face Brest who are currently in good condition after managing to hold PSG to a draw but both clubs are in the rankings. 2 and 3 I think this will be a match that is quite difficult to predict. If Nice loses, it is very likely that the standings table will change and the fight for the title with PSG will become increasingly difficult to achieve.

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.

At the end of the day it's the three points that matters but I'm sure fans would have loved to see more than a goal. The funny part is that aside from that two goals against Cameroon, Nigeria has not been able to get past that one goal margin and I feel they'd need to do better when it comes to goal scoring. The Super eagles have been lucky and coupled with a strong defense and good keeper, they've not really found much challenge when they always get those goals. This win has ensured their ticket to the semi's but if I were them, I would employ the mentality of not underestimating any team, but always carrying at the back of their minds to score as much goals when they meet their opponents. I was just hearing so much excitement all over my neighborhood after the end of the game, and honestly I felt somehow. Nigerians rejoicing that we beat a small country like Angola? Then what if Senegal had stayed, maybe we'd have thrown a feast then if we had won them!

I really need to commend the goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali for his unwavering confidence in front of goal, not letting the Angolan side have their way because from their goal attempts it showed they had total of 10, two were on target, imagine Stanley had not saved it, who knows what the scoreline would have been.
Great job though to them, we look forward to the Super eagles coming back home with the trophy.

Well this is a tournament and the Super Eagles don’t need hige scoreline to go through stages of this tournament. What’s needed is the format the coach has been able to employ which is to defend and then get one goal and try to secure it. The coach understands this and luckily for him the players understands too and are playing according to pattern and it’s gotten them to the semis. And yes the victory is worth celebrating because Angola haven’t been a bad side in this AFCON and every feat attained should be celebrated as it helps to boost the confidence of the players that the fans are happy with them and standing right beside them.

Stanley Nwabali has been solid in goal for Nigeria and I think after this AFCON, some European clubs will bid for him. The guy has had 4 clean sheets in 5 matcehs and we must also praise the defense line who have remained a huge fence to break down as wee see how the midfielders fall back to help the defense when they’re being attacked. Kudos to Nigeria, we hope to see them bring the trophy home.

The game will be happening away for atletico madrid. It must be noted that if intermilan is the strongest team in serie a now. It has very balanced team in the defensive nor attacking lines. So, there's no reason for atletico madrid to play openly against interimlan. It will be only destroying themselves if atletico madrid forced to play openly against intermilan. We did know that how intermilan was always kicking out barcelona from UCL many times. La liga team is facing the strongest team to beat the la liga club. Atletico madrid can use option to play defensively against it.

This may not put the team into the risk and getting draw will be enough for this. Atletico madrid needs to be careful caused by losing huge margins against intermilan will be lowering atletico's chance to go to the next round.
Lautaro martinez was the biggest threat in intermilan. Intermilan seems have a lot of old players but they were always performing very consistent. This is the specialization owned by intermilan. The club is always able in maximizing the performance from what people called that as old players.

This is the toughest match for atletico madrid. If atletico will be losing more than 2 goals then it's game over for diego simeone's squad.

In this match between Inter Milan at the San Siro, I think Athletico will need to go to that match with a careful mindset and see themselves as the underdog. Inter Milan are very balanced and can take on this Athletico side if they see the opportunity and that’s where it’ll be a mistake. They’re both balanced team but I think Inter has the upper hands no matter the strategy Athletico might feel safe to use. This will be one keenly contested match in the Round of 16 and it’ll be one hard game to bet on .

I think Athletico coming to defend in the first leg will be a boost for them into the second as it’ll boost their confidence and morale to go all out and fight for it at their home in the return leg. If Athletico comes out to play offensively then I think they might get hurt as they’ll conced crazy amount of goals and will already lose the hope of qualifying before the second leg.

The club was not allowing to make adjustments. Look at what happened to the mourinho in the past. He had been also requesting club to bought some important players but the club prevented him to did it due to the financial issue. De rossi must also use the available resource in the club.
he will not able to complain regarding the composition of players in the club. It's caused by roma had been known as a poor club and this is the main reason of him will not able to strengthen the club. The winter season has already closed as well.

Im not seeing a chance for rossi to get a new player to strengthen the club. This is the consequences of him to be a new coach for the poor club like roma but i remember that if rossi was also amateur coach as well. This is not a problem for him.
Rossi has not had time but he was not also getting money to strengthen the squad too. It's bad to have big expectations to the as roma. I have learned a lot what happened to the mourinho in the past.

Even mourinho had sent his complaint to the club caused by this club was so stingy in giving the coach fresh funds to strengthen the club. Rossi had so many limitations in the squad. Roma will not able to give him money to build the club.
Believe me or not if roma is poorest club in the serie a.

Mourinho managed Roma to an European title in his first season and in the next tootk them to a final where he still protest he was cheated by the officiating. Well I think the fault wasn’t from Jose, as we should now turn our eyes on the club management and the funds. Well this is one hard task especially when you’ve high goals, you’ll need money to achieve those goals and when things are not working well because of the less funds then the coach is always blamed. De Rossi has signed up for a huge task and it’s seeming like he won’t be able to stay so long in this job already.

You can see Mourinho tried to strengthen this squad but he club weren’t willing to release funds for him to get his desired players and achieve fantastic results and then they put the blame on him because he’s not able to meet their high expectations. De Rossi is in charge and have no option than to make do with the players he’s got available as the club is low on funds and might not be ready to get any player.

Yet the money spent by chelsea meant nothing. Even some players have become flop. It can be seen from how bad the performance from chelsea is. The club has made no progress compared to the last season. To be fair, it's not as bad as like last season but it was only making a very small progress. Chelsea goes from 11 to the 9.
I would not even call this as a achievement by chelsea. Bringing pochettino to the club has proven to be another blunder from chelsea caused by he is also doing the same thing like what potter did in the past.
It was a shame for todd boehly to fail build chelsea back to the golden times a few years ago. I think that pochettino needs to be fired from the club. He has been showing that how he was totally useless. I meant that if pochettino never able to use correct line up in the important match.
Look at the match when chelsea was facing liverpool. This stupid coach was even putting palmer as a striker which was so crazy. I never thought that if pochettino would be that stupid af.
He doesn't know how to manage the team properly and he keeps try to do more and more experiment to the club. This is so crazy to see that. Pochettino OUTTT

Well Chelsea went to down times when Abrahamovic was forced to sell the London club due to ongoing Russian And Ukraine crisis. And now the decision by the UK board is now haunting the football club. As since Todd’s takeover the team haven’t had a good record of success, rather it’s been from one worry to another and we the fans wonder when things will get better. Great and Huge signings were made during the summer but yet nothing to show for it rather we’ve got those fine players now turning to flop in the Chelsea colour.

Pochettino too was another bad decision of the board and he’s proving that match after match by his poor decision making. Palmer isn’t a striker, he’s tried this out and didn’t work so why still trying it and against a tea like Liverpool. I think Poch needs to be fired and a more experienced coach who’ll be able to build these young players be hired then we might see Chelsea back in their glory days.

Will putting Onana on the bench make Manchester United's goal better? because in my opinion it would be a gamble and although there is a chance of getting better, getting worse is also quite possible.
André Onana did not live up to expectations, but maybe that happened because Manchester United rated Onana too highly, they didn't take into account that there is a difference in competition between the English Premier League and Serie A, where we know the EPL has tighter competition or indeed Onana still needs time to adapt, although it does not rule out the possibility that his performance was not impressive because Manchester United's defenders did not perform well so their goal was easily penetrated by opponents in many matches, and we also often see players who can be said to have failed in their first season but slowly start to improve in the following season.

There's no 100% assurance about that, but if you don't experiment how then are you going to get solutions? Manchester United's defense is not in a very good shape no doubt, we saw it in the match against Newport County when their 2nd choice Bayindir was featured, he was pretty good and the both goals the opposition scored were due to defensive errors. However Onana has caused United a lot, in some matches he looks less focus and fail to block easy shots, currently Onana have concedes 50+ goals which is a very bad record for a goalie.

I think the deed have been already done by getting him, bit there's no more time to keep being patient till he gets better, the more they keep giving him more playing time, could do a lot to kill Bayindir's form. I think ETH needs a rotation in the GK wing, I see Bayindir as a player with lots of potential and it can't be discovered if he gets less playing time.

In this last round, the surprise was Braga's draw with Chaves. This makes it difficult for Braga to be a real candidate for the title.

Below are the results of round 19:

MATCH DAY 19 - RESULTS:

Braga 1-1

Chaves

Rio Ave 1-1

Estoril
Sporting 8-0

Casa Pia

Estrela Amadora 1-4 Benfica
Arouca 5-0

Vizela
Gil Vicente 1-0

Vit. Guimarães

Farense 1-3 Porto

Boavista 1-4 Portimonense
Moreirense 1-0

Famalicão

The Portuguese league have teams with higher impacts in the league games and European contests too. Benfica, Sporting, Porto are most impactful in this regard. Porto are doing well in the league and also have good performance records in the UCL too even though they weren't able to keep up with their good performance in their last league game which wasn't so acceptable. Same scenerio applies for Benfica and Sporting who's got their own record in the European cups too. Benfica have been doing well at securing the three points in most of their games with good goal margins. It only shows how set they are for the task put before them. Although a lesser performance isn't expected from them.

The league seems less competitive though as there are still weeks left and just these 3teams are trying to make good wave in the league. Over the years it's still these three that have been the most talked about because of the feats they've attained. One would be so sure to bet on these teams and their ability to keep progressing in points in their league games.

By the looks of it Galatasaray ended up getting Serge Aurier, he used to be an amazing player, very talented physically, he was very fast and quick, and as we all know an agile back is always a good thing to have.

However, he is now 30+ years old, and he hasn't been all that great for a while, he didn't get minutes even at Notthingham Forrest, for a team that is trying to play at Europa, and also trying to win the league, a bench player from Notthingham Forrest doesn't really sound like a smart move, certainly not smart if you consider his age as well because they can't make much out of him for the future. This type of "big name" transfers never really helped any team, you should always look for someone who deserves it, not someone who had a good career.

At the end of the January transfer window, the Turkish side was able to earn for themselves a player with a very good skill set. It was very much expected that the transfer window was going to effect either positive or negative changes in a team and for Galatasaray, it's safe to say that the change was a positive one. Serge Aurier is an experienced EPL player, he's gained a lot of experience from Tottenham before moving to Nottingham Forest and would make a good addition to Galatasaray.

The next few months and years for him with the team will be watched closely to weigh how much he'd perform. They've got greater chance of lifting the trophy too. The team is good, they've got the management and player quality too. Aurier an added advantage would put more fuel to the burning zeal to excel. Let's hope that he's able to blend into the team and league techniques with time as that's kinda what is of essence.

All of the top teams in the league play excellent matches, with the exception of Barcelona, who I felt did not play well. Barcelona struggled mightily to defeat Osasuna, but Victor Roque's goal late in the game gave Barcelona the advantage. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid proved to be a formidable opponent, defeating Rayo Vallecano. Although Atletico made mistakes early in the league, I don't think they will play poorly this time around. Instead, I think they will find a way to guarantee themselves a spot in the champion league the following season.

Real Madrid's performance against Getafe yesterday demonstrated their ability to win the Liga. Although I had anticipated Getafe to score at least one goal back, Real Madrid's defence players denied them a chance, and their custodian is even more formidable than any of them. From the looks of things, Real Madrid will not allow Lunin to leave; instead, they will allow Kepa to return to Chelsea, as Lunin is currently outperforming Kepa. Additionally, Joselu is playing like a striker now that he is healthy. His performance yesterday was excellent, and if it keeps up, he will be a huge asset to Real Madrid.

In a few recent games, Bilbao have been able to show strength and charisma to winning games. They've safely been tagged underrated and not really focused on but looking deep, they're making waves. Even their betting odds would speak for them. They are a team practically growing into a La Liga threat club.

They've had competitive games and ensured they kept up their pace making the result of the game be either to their favour or a fair draw. Girona and Vallecano are a testament of the fact. It's good how Spanish teams are starting to face the uprising of the beat and live through letting just 3 teams be the talk about of the league. Currently the likes of Girona, Real Sociedad too and definitely Bilbao are outshining in their deeds and it's amazing to watch how football has become even more interesting this season in the Spanish league.

Well, it's not that strange because even though Barcelona is a big club, there are other priorities to think about when it comes to the future of a young player's career because after all, apart from money, there is a condition where young players also need guarantees in this regard.

Barcelona's financial problems are still very complex and will be very difficult to solve so in this case it will definitely be a problem especially for young players if they do not have certain conditions at the club.
In addition, the competition at Tottenham will be a little easier when compared to Barcelona because after all we can know that until now Barcelona is a big club to be in the senior dquad rather than having to let themselves be in limbo in the academy.
He's still young enough that even if Tottenham's club performance isn't the best, the decision to be at Totte ham rather than Barcelona could be the right one.

Barcelona's performance are not even encouraging, they're behind their usual style of play. This definitely isn't the usual Barcelona of past seasons. Their performance hasn't really been encouraging and even though they're a better side technically to other teams, it's just a number of uncertainties that are present. The players and management teams aren't really at their best and it has to be corrected.

In the round of 16, they are up against a tough opponent, they've got enough weeks to prepare hard and build strong confidence ahead. They really can't afford to take a bow out of the contest at this stage. Although it's unpredictable but they're definitely boasted of to scale through and they have the right player quality too. Just a bit of increase in performance is needed. Although, their games in the coming weeks are definitely awaited.
