The Champions League is indeed a competition that is more suitable for Paris Saint Germain, because there the opponents they will face have the same strength as them.
Yes, that's because the opponents are balanced on the basis of quality. I really saw PSG prove something this season in the Champions League, the first stage is over and now they need to think about how to beat Bayern Munich in the last 16.

PSG has been doing very well in the Champions League this season. Coach Galtier has managed to stabilize the team's performance by solving the internal problems of the team. And more importantly, Neymar has not suffered any injuries this season. The trio of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe are playing very well. Hence, PSG's chances of winning the Champions League title this season are higher than in any previous season. Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar are in great form. It will be challenging for any team in the Champions League to beat PSG without these three players facing injuries.

I do not have the slightest doubt that Barcelona will not be difficult, the maximum that can happen is a draw in one of the matches, but clearly not a defeat. So the situation in the standings will continue to be difficult.  They do not depend heavily on Lewandowski, so it will not be difficult to rebuild the lineup, it is their main advantage
A draw is clearly not Barcelona's goal when facing Espanyol let alone losing. They are only two points ahead of Real Madrid who are in second place, Xavi will not waste the opportunity for an additional three points even though he cannot play Lewandowski in this match. Xavi still has several reliable strikers, the situation will not make it difficult for Barcelona especially when they are playing at Camp Nou, Barcelona will try to do their best to secure their position in the first place.
It's clear they have to win this match even without Lewandwoski there. because if indeed they fail to reach this point it will obviously make them a little troubled especially Madrid will also be Valladolid which they can actually still beat. On the other hand, many people here already believe that Barcelona can, at least they don't give up on those people's hopes Cheesy Because if they don't get full points, it's very likely that Madrid will immediately reclaim their position.

If you want to be at the top of the points table, you have to keep winning. If you don't perform well consistently, you won't be able to top the points table. Barcelona and Madrid are not strong opponents in the upcoming matches. If they lose points against weaker teams, winning the title will become difficult. I think the performance of the teams will be a little unstable after a long break.

The second day's game of Australia vs South Africa test match have begun. As Warner is nearing the 50 runs, he's making runs very slowly.
Australians are dominating south Africa in this 2nd test match of the series, at first warner score runs too slowly but after set on pitch he almost hit 16 boundaries as well 2 six and score a stunning double century what a gem player, but unfortunately when he jump during celebration of his double century he hit with ground and got injured, after injury he left the ground and replace with other batter.
The way Australia defeat South Africa in First team I am pretty sure that they will easy beat them in second test match, because they has score 386 in 90 over while just 3 batter are dismissed.

Like the first Test, the Australian players continued to dominate the second Test. They are playing very well. They collected 386 runs losing only 3 wickets. South Africa on the other hand continued their poor performance. South Africa's first innings ended with just 189 runs. I think South Africa will lose this match by innings. Australia must score at least 500 runs, after which they declare an innings.

If Liverpool want revenge, I guarantee they will lose. But if Liverpool want to play better and try to win the match without holding grudges, then I think Real Madrid are definitely in trouble. The goal of both is the same, that is, they both want to win. But obviously I would expect Real Madrid to win over Liverpool.

I watched Liverpool's performance yesterday against Aston Villa. Their performance is now much more organized than before. Liverpool played very well against Aston Villa. If they can put up such a performance against Real Madrid, it will be very difficult for Madrid to beat Liverpool. Without Benzema, Madrid's attack is not strong enough. I don't think it's possible to beat Liverpool with a weak attack.

Barcelona is just a few points ahead of their rival; real Madrid .with that their probability of winning the la Liga title is quite narrowed. Considering their proximity to winning the Europa league, u quite can't tell that they will be able to conquer the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, and others. Barcelona is currently having a defensive challenge, which is more like a house with a shaking foundation, and up till now they haven't made any step toward fixing it, instead, they keep adding aging players to the defensive line, which is quite unhealthy to the tax ahead.
Barcelona are trying to improve the foundation step by step, they have almost finished a good job after getting some new workers in the transfer market yesterday. Barcelona's biggest failure this season has been elimination from the Champions League, while in the Europa League they haven't been able to fully pamper their feet due to a big ordeal from Manchester United.
If for example Barcelona is able to beat Manchester United, Barcelona chances are still not fully open. There are still other challenges that will await Xavi's troops in the next round. The strength of the foundation must be increased immediately before the storm comes, Xavi must immediately find a good strategy to fend off one by one the storms that will approach them.
It wasn't such a bad idea to try to build a fresh team to play with good team work without relying on Messi to carry the team. Indeed Barcelona's biggest flop this season was getting eliminated from the champions league, good thing they have another chance in the Europa league to rewrite the wrongs this season. If they can win the Europa league it could erase their failure in the champions league from the minds of the public.

Barcelona management should have found a suitable replacement for Messi and then released Messi. Then they would not have to face such a bad situation. Now Xavi is trying to stabilize the team. We don't know when the Barcelona team will stabilize. Barcelona is out of the Champions League. Now they aim to win the Europa League and La Liga titles. I think if Barcelona can win the next match against Manchester United then they will be able to win the Europa League title.

The whole situation is weird, I don't if you guys follow Twitter but 3-4 days ago SBF was at aiport:


Source

It's weird that he can use a laptop, internet, smartphone, travel in business class...
He is very calm and quiet for a person who could possibly be sentenced to many years in prison.
It seems that he has some cards in his hands that can save him and we don't know yet.





I'm not surprised, many people think that once he's caught, he'll pay for what he's done. Don't forget what he did for politicians and his relationships. I think he is not only holding 1 card to be able to rescue him but he is probably holding dozens of cards. Like Dokwon, so far he hasn't been caught and we seem to have forgotten about him because of other news. SBF too, we will soon forget everything and he will be fine. There are many ways for SBF.

The biggest problem is still the government, if the government accepts it as legal and declares that bitcoin is a currency or a worth asset holding, then I believe all other problems will be solved.  Government is the biggest hurdle that bitcoin is facing, just solve the government, bitcoin will be widely accepted. But that possibility is improbable unless the government sees some interest in accepting bitcoin.
It is also possible that bitcoin will change the financial sector, or it could remain anonymous, and decentralized. While mass adoption has often been seen as the ultimate goal of crypto, we may instead be planning for a future that allows those who value privacy and security to keep their preferred cryptocurrencies. I don't see any problem here for the government but as we all know that our traditional financial sector will come up with something unique to hinder the adoption.

The government still controls everything, the government may not be able to stop bitcoin but they can stop you and us from using bitcoin with strict regulations. Government is the biggest barrier, bitcoin is nothing if the government really wants to stop it. They are still lenient with us by the regulations, if it's a ban I don't think you would go against their ban.

In the 15th Match between Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Stars, Melbourne Stars batted first and scored 150 runs. The runs scored by Melbourne Stars seem to be a very good game between the two teams. Now if Melbourne Stars can perform well in bowling.  If they can then it will be much easier for them to win the match. The runs Melbourne Stars have scored with batting seems like they have a chance to win. Now let's see how well Melbourne Stars can do in bowling.
Melbourne Stars should've scored more runs. Sydney sixers have reach the target in a much comfortable way losing 3 wickets and 5 balls left. 150 is easy reachable on T20 cricket, Sydney Sixers lost the first wicket at 4 runs and then slowly the team gained the momentum. Later losing two more wickets at 61 and 63 Henriques started to perform good and the same helped them win the match.

Melbourne Stars should have done better in the first innings. Larkin should have done a lot better in the first innings. He took 19 balls to score 12 runs. And in the end, I believe that came back to hurt them.

In the end, it was an easy win for the Sydney Sixers. I believe if the Melbourne Stars could have scored a little more, they could have actually won the match. Sydney Sixers won the match with 7 wickets and 5 balls left.

Whenever I give someone investment advice, I always remind them of the risks they take, so when a lot of people become reluctant holders during the bear season. I still do not want to say anything more, but I still emphasize that it is a risk in investment, if you want high profits, you must accept high risks. If they are afraid, they can sell, if they still believe, keep holding. What needs to be said I have said before they invest, not wait until now to say.

Mbappe's dream to play in same team with Ronaldo is almost impossible at this time of his career because Mbappe is currently a PSG player and the probability of Ronaldo playing for PSG or Real Madrid before he retires is very low. I doubt it will even happen at this point. If Ronaldo completes a move to the Arab league it might be his last club to play for until he retires so I doubt it is going to happen. The era of Messi and Ronaldo is close to the end and the beginning of a new era for Haaland and Mbappe.
This era has already arrived. If Mbappe had been promoted as it was with the beginning of Messi's career, then he would already have a 3-4 balloon D'Ors.
As for the results, they are also eloquent: in 2022, Mbappe scored 55 goals in 55 games, and Haaland 43 goals in 41 games. With Mbappe's phenomenal World Cup performance and Haaland's excellent goalscoring schedule for City, it's clear who will compete for the top 1 in the coming years.
I think Kylian Mbappe will never match Messi. Messi's football career has such achievements. If any other player wants to achieve that, he has to become an incomparable player. And Kylian Mbappe plays well but I don't like his personal behavior at all, he is a selfish footballer.

There is no doubt that Mbappe is a great player. But Mbappe can't be compared with Messi yet. Mappe played very well, and was able to score a lot of goals. He won a World Cup at just 23 years old and was runner-up once. But Messi probably won 4 Ballon d'Or at the age of 23. But Mbappe is yet to win the Ballon d'Or. So I would say Mbappe needs more time to match Messi.

Roma should be return to winning track if they want to compete for top 4 position and for upcoming match they will faced mediocre team which is in the positive condition Bologna and apparently this is hard match for Roma considering Bologna can able to bounce back with their new coach Thiago Motta that Bologna under Motta has been changed a lot and gradually can avoiding relegation zone and 4 wins from 5 matches makes Bologna position can lifted up to 11th on standings league and meetings records for both of teams also showed Roma have to hard struggle to beat Bologna so this is big challenge for Mourinho to bringing Roma get the winning results again
If you look at the ranking position in the Italian league, Roma is in 7th place, while Bologna is in 11th place. With Jose Mourinho surviving at As Roma and not being a coach in Portugal, I think As Roma will provide an attacking game against Bologna later so they can win. match, of course Mourinho will make a good strategy to fight Bologna later  Wink

Roma will play home match against Bologna. But the home Roma team is very weak. Roma managed to get only 10 points in 7 home matches. Bologna team cannot be called weak. This team is good enough. They have won 4 of their last 5 matches. But it is very difficult to predict how the teams will perform after a long break of almost 2 months. But in this match I am interested to bet Roma to win.

it seems that the match between Liverpool vs Aston villa is a little difficult to predict. although in the end I would bet on Liverpool. But somehow I felt a little doubt. However, I predict that Emiliano Martinez will most likely not be played by the coach. and that will be the weakness of Aston Villa. and from the many Aston villa vs Liverpool meetings. Liverpool have won more matches. even in the last 4 meetings liverpool always wins.
Liverpool was inconsistent in EPL but last match against machester city proven that if liverpool still has capability to win against aston villa easily. E martinez wanna be terminated by aston villa caused by he was embarassing himself. I meant look at so many criticsm that has come to him. I think that he will be playing but it seems like that aston villa's coach can change the decision anytime.

Was Liverpool's performance against Manchester City too good? I don't think so. However, Liverpool players were able to score two goals. But Manchester City players made 18 shots in this match, and Liverpool made only 7. Although Liverpool's team seems stronger than Aston Villa, victory against Villa will not be easy for Liverpool. I am expecting a competitive match.

Dortmund will be most likely to sell Bellingham next summer. They just don't want to sell him already now as they need him in the middle of the season. But in the summer they will have quite enough time to sell Bellingham and find another young and talented replacement for him. Dortmund bought Bellingham for 25 million euros but his selling price will be over 100 million euros. It is an enormous profit.  Grin

Dortmund and Ajax are like siblings in terms of the business model they adopt. Ajax is just Dortmund's champion version at the same time.  Cheesy
Borussia Dortmund is highly rich in business, I so much like them because they are good at discovering young stars at an early age. A lot of them like Ousmane Dembele, Mario Gotze, Christian pulisic Julian Weigi, Hummels, and a lot more were all stars discovered by BVB. But it only marvels to me that they sell out most of those players immediately after they start shooting their stars.  Dortmund prefers buying more average players while they sell out the good ones which they trained. Don't be surprised that Dortmund will sell out Bellingham because currently, they haven't renewed his contract.

The Dortmund management knows very well which players can become stars in the future. They do not make mistakes in the selection of players. They recruit the right players, develop them into veterans and then sell them at high prices. They managed to sell Haaland for a huge price. Their next target is Haller. I think they will be able to develop Haller into a star player within the next two seasons. And will make a lot of money through sales.

Manchester United vs Fc Barcelona match has been discussed much more than every other Europa league match. Maybe that is because the two clubs are anticipated by many, to be the champions of the Europa league title. But let me put it to u that neither Manchester United nor FC Barcelona may end up pushing through the final stage of this competition. Let us not forget that the likes of Juventus, Arsenal, Ajax, union Berlin and PSV are salso hunting vigorously for this same title. Most of these clubs with little or no up of being champions in their lower league.The table is not revolving around Man united and Barcelona only.
This season the Europa League is difficult to predict because there are many great teams in it. Some of the teams you mentioned are teams that are not weak in their respective local leagues, so there are many possibilities that could happen in the Europa League this season even though the ones that are most often discussed are Manchester United and Fc Barcelona. But they both could have been knocked out by some of the teams you name in the Europa League this season.
Yes, it is not something that is impossible, in fact many teams have lost against teams that are not more favored than them in the Europa League this season. Let's say Barcelona lost to Frabkfurt last season. Even though they were recently no better than this season, it provides an opportunity that a team that is considered weak can shock the match by beating the team that is more favored.

The performance of the big teams in the Europa League is erratic. They basically take Europa League matches lightly, which is why they don't perform well. Also the performance of the Barcelona team in the last season was very erratic. The condition of the whole party was unstable. But this season they have been able to solve most of the problems within the team. They have been performing quite consistently this season. I am quite optimistic about Barcelona's performance in the Europa League this season.

India won today's match depends on their batsmen. But after watching the game I thought India won't win this match.  I was really worried the way all the batsmen started getting out. Later when I saw India 3 wickets in the match.  I am really happy to see this win.  Bangladeshi players could not perform very well at the end of the game.
India played very well on the first day of the Test match and were ahead of Bangladesh by a huge of runs due to which they did not need too many runs to win the second day match.  Because of this India beat Bangladesh by 3 wickets I said in my last post that India was more likely to win this test match Bangladesh was not a very likely team to draw with India

My prediction was that India will win the match but the match will be very competitive. Because this is Mirpur's pitch. Bangladesh bowlers always perform well on Mirpur pitch. And they played very well against India too, this morning I thought Bangladesh was going to win. India won because of Iyer and Ashwin's responsible batting. India needed to win the Test series after the humiliating defeat in the ODI series.

Fofana to CFC.
What a fun league the Premier League, they will buy everyone  Roll Eyes
Another ammunition will be going to the Chelsea. It seems like that chelsea was only doing the same thing like newcastle by massively signing the new players as the current players in the club have no capability to compete in the EPL. that reminds me with newcastle which has bought 9 players in the last transfer season and it keeps adding more new player since the club being acquired by the arabian consortium and that's how football works. lol
Nkuku, Fofana, Moukoko and chelsea is still targeting some new players.

This is a good deal for Chelsea. They needed to bring in some players because they are obviously not performing well at all. Fofana will be a very important asset for Chelsea. He is only 20 years old and he is showing great potential as a forward player. I think Chelsea will be able to use a player like him right now. He is still quite young but I think with proper care he can be a prolific striker for Chelsea.

I will sell bitcoin when I need money for health or any urgent work and at any price. Simply because if we have no other choice, don't hesitate to sell our bitcoins or assets. And it's easy to buy back bitcoins, it's not so scarce that you can't repurchase it later. Bitcoin's supply is limited that doesn't mean it's difficult to own, as long as you are determined, you can do anything.

Yes, it would be more interesting if OP told about his first bitcoin investment to make the story more interesting.

Anyhow this Christmas is going to be a special one for the Hotel owner as she's gonna learn something new. In specific knowing and learning about bitcoin is really important for the fast moving world that is much connected to the technology. It is good that more advertisements were giving visibility to the existence of bitcoin even in the rural areas of the country.

Yes, if we look on the positive side, OP is spreading bitcoins to everyone, and this time a restaurant owner. And if after she's been taught about bitcoin and really loves it, it's inevitable that her restaurant will accept bitcoin. They don't accept bitcoin yet because they don't know about it yet not they ban and that should be easier to change.
