Brighton played a lot better then Manchester United in my opinion and if they gave wins based on public opinions, then Brighton would have won the game. They definitely were more organized with their accurate passes as well as having more of the ball in their possession. Unfortunately for them, they couldn’t utilize all that to score a goal so it wouldn’t have gone into penalties.
I’m happy for Manchester United as they’ve qualified yet again to play in the finals of the FA cup. Having won by penalties, some would say they were lucky. I think a win is a win.
Now, they’ve got to seriously prepare themselves to face an elite team in the finals. It would be an interesting game to watch.
Brighton really played well, I was glad seeing how they were able to dominate and possess the ball during the match, despite their lost, it wasn't a bad result because I think they play a better team that has many experience in a situation like that. Holding Manchester United draw till 120 minutes is a good result for the team. Penalty is a game of luck and the luck for that moment was with Manchester United and they have to win. It will be interesting to watch the two Manchester club in the final , lets see who it will go . |

If I'm not mistaken, there is only one game in the Premier League today. Arsenal will play Southampton today. Arsenal made a lot of mistakes in the last games. And they've lost incredible points in the last 2 weeks. But I don't think they will make a mistake in this match against Southampton. Because they don't have the luxury of making mistakes anymore and Southampton will be an easy opponent for them. Moreover, they will play this match at their home ground. I think they will win this match easily and will wait for the results of the other matches. Today, they can manage to make them forget their bad games of the last weeks in this match.
Yes, all eyes are on them and all the bettors today are placing on the side of Arsenal because they are playing on their home ground which is a huge advantage and they are playing a side that is also struggling in the bottom of the table. They will take the match serious because if they drop point again today, it will certainly decrease their chances of winning the league. Their next match next week will be against a difficult opponent which is Manchester City and anything can happen in that game. |

maybe in yesterday's match if the Lens player didn't get a red card maybe the score would have been different. because we know that it is impossible for Lens to play well when only 10 players are very difficult to beat PSG.
while the red card for the Lens player made PSG players have a gap to get more goals and get more points and gave a point distance that was a bit far from the team under PSG.
I think it's difficult for Lens and Marseille to catch PSG's points. because PSG still has mainstay players like Messi and Mbappe who can make this PSG team a winner in league 1.
Lens were unlucky in that match against Parish Saint German, it is true that PSG had 55 percent chances of winning the match but In football anything can happen, and from the performance of lens this recent time, no one can beat his chest and predict PSG winner of that match untill lens were reduced to 10 men due to red card to S. Abdul Samed as early as 19 minutes of the match. Had it been that lens won in that match, they would have been 3 point below PSG giving them more hope in the title race, but revice was the case, PSG is now leading with 8 points clear. That's much hope for PSG. |

And the more important problem is that you need to find an outstanding coach who is willing to manage a team that does not play Champions League. That is a huge issue for Chelsea. I read that Nagelsmann was already there, but in Nagelsmann's case it makes more sense to wait and see if another Champions League club wants him. It could be Real Madrid, it could be Barcelona, the incentive to sign a contract with Chelsea right now is not that high unless the salary is unprecedented.
Chelsea Job needs a Manager who does not believe or depends on their past history, or be treathened by their current poor situation, or reject it because they didn't qualify for next season's Uefa champions / Europa League. All they need is a Manager who will focus on the club goals, that will try his possible best to bring back the club to its position, although it looks difficult on this time because many managers will be scared of their club and fans high expectations. Looking at the club current situation, it need both players and other technical coaches to sit up and put in their best in the coming season to enable the team meet their goals. |

Chelsea really performed well in the first half to blocked Real Madrid not to score a single goal in the first half, because Chelsea defenders didn't give Real Madrid strikers any chance to have access to their goalpost than to made the first half ended up draw 0-0. Real Madrid goalkeeper really help their team to avoid disgrace from Chelsea, because Chelsea gain many opportunities that would have given Chelsea three goals to weak the power of Real Madrid but Real Madrid goalkeeper saved all the balls not to allow Chelsea to achieve a single goal through out the match. Indeed Real Madrid deserved that victory, because they really prepared to eliminate Chelsea from the tournament which they did by defeated Chelsea 2-0.
From the team line up and formation of Chelsea at the beginning of the match, I can say they didn't plan to win the Match, playing 5 natural defenders in a match that you want more than three (3) goals seems impossible, I thought Chelsea would have come out to play more attacking football formation that playing defensive game in that match. Playing such formation with 5 defenders would have been when you have won a match with at least two goals different or in a match that you want a draw, because more defenders in a match will make it to lack creativity and chances to goals. |

There is no question that Haaland will not break this record in the Premier League this season. There are still a few matches left for the club to play, and Haaland scores in around 90% of their matches, thus breaking this record will be a dream come true for him shortly. He is a goal scoring machine, therefore breaking a goal scoring record will be no problem for him. This is one of the best signings in Manchester City and Guaordiola's career.
Erling Halland signing from Brusia Dortmund is one of the most perfect signing seen in recent time, Manchester city already have good midfielders who always creat chances in every five 5 minutes of the game. With the like of Kelvin Debruye,. Benerdo Silva, Mahrez etc. All they needed was a sticker who will score from every corner of the attack and Halland was suitable and have proven himself, He has 32 goals and 8 games left, that's means he will be able to score more 3 goals to break all records and set a new record that will probably take many years to break because I'm predicting he will score up to 5 goes more making it 37 goals in one season. |

I think Man city has every chance to win. Because they already scored two goals in a row early in the game, 5" and 13". Man City are playing restlessly and their performance looks like they will win today's match 5-0 in the end and move closer to Arsenal on points. but Arsenal team also has a match today so if they also play the match well then Arsenal will be ahead by some points. but if Arsenal play badly in the match. then Man City will overtake Arsenal very soon
Manchester city have truly dominated the match, it will be a comfortable win for city against Leicester, that means the gap on the league table has been closed with three points, Gardiola used the same starting line up he used in the UEFA champions League against Bayern Munich, Which is extremely difficult for Leicester at their current level to bear. All hails Manchester city for this comfortable winning all they will now look for in the game is maintaine the clean sheet. |

Manchester City defeated Bayern Munich not because Bayern Munich is a weak team. The reason it was so possible for Manchester city might be because of change of coach in Bayern Munich but it still doesn't change anything for Manchester City in their game against Leicester City, Manchester City will beat Leicester City.
One can be right to insist that Manchester City have better chances of winning the match this evening against Leicester looking at their form, and performance currently in all league, But I want to also believe that the team needs more focus on the match and not to underestimate Leicester, considering the position of Leicester in the league table at the moment they will want to play all matches with their last strengths to see if they can achieve some points that will help them to fight relegation. Man city need to play with seriousness to maintain their position. |

Ligue 1 is not a low caste league. Messi is playing professionally so far. he's playing well with what he can bring to the team. I don't think other clubs are willing to pay dearly for Messi at his age.
how bad is Messi's relationship with PSG and its fans? I think Messi will still play professionally for the rest of the season, if indeed in the summer Messi will leave PSG.
hopefully, Messi gets the best place in European clubs. even if he has to return to his former club.
The most important thing is not the type of league Messi is playing, weather it is a low level league and we shouldn't see it as a wrong decision joining ligue 1 amidst interest from other Leagues, All we have to look into is his level of performance as an individual, I think Messi is giving his best at 35 years as much as he can and even to a better level to the team. He has contributed positively in many ways and with the current contract extension means he aims to achieve more success with the club in the coming season mostly in Uefa champions League which is more important to the team generally. |

In my opinion, the notion of having a specific reason to like or marry someone seems unnecessary. Relying solely on factors like beauty or character as a passkey in choosing a wife can be problematic. When we prioritize beauty, for instance, we may find ourselves in a predicament if we no longer see the same physical attractiveness in our partner. This can lead to feelings of resentment or even hatred towards the person. Similarly, relying solely on character can also have its downsides. A woman may initially pretend to have a good character in order to secure a marriage, only to reveal her true personality after tying the knot.
Instead, I believe that understanding should be the foundation of a successful marriage. When we truly understand and accept our partner, we are better equipped to handle their flaws, including potential character flaws, with grace and patience. We can also appreciate their beauty beyond superficial looks, recognizing the deeper beauty that comes from within. Understanding fosters tolerance and empathy, allowing us to navigate the complexities of marriage with maturity and wisdom.
In marriage, character is most important and should be considered more relevant to beauty, due to beauty will fade away while a good character will last forever. The problem you may have in this process is that Character needs time to assess, it can't be determined at first sight, where as Beauty will be there staring at you for immediate assessment. Beauty can be an entry point but when decision needs to be taken, Character should be taken more important. |

According to some speculations Harry Kane still would rather staying in the Premier League even if he leaves Tottenham. If that is true than really Manchester United can be ahead in the competition to sign him. Because Bayern Munich are also a team interested in him to sign him this summer. It wouldn't be easy for Manchester United to sign him as long as he doesn't have such priority.
Kane can complete Bayern Munich very good as well by the way. The team can go back to their times with Lewandowski. But as long as he doesn't want to play in the Bundesliga it wouldn't happen.
One of the transfer I want so much to happen this summer is Harry Kane to leave Tottenham Hotspur, Harry Kane has been an awesome player for Tottenham and has contributed positively to the club since his arrival, I have cherish his outstanding performance in all ramifications and think that there is something missing in his career as a top legandary player, and that is Many trophies and Medals to his personal profile and individual cabinet, many clubs like Manchester city , Chelsea, Bayern, Real Madrid will like to sign him if he accept to leave the club and the above mentioned teams can help him with his level and form to achieve more trophies to his name and to the club. I advice he leave for more glories. |

Honestly, Gündoğan does not feel like a really good replacement for Frenkie de Jong. After all Frenkie de Jong is a great player who is still very young. But on the other hand, Gündoğan is a very cold player.
So I don’t think that is the best replacement for Frenkie de Jong. The only reason Barcelona is actually actively monitoring this situation is because they do not have the amount of money to get a player like Frenkie de Jong if he leaves. And that is probably the only thing that makes the replacement valid.
Barcelona are increasingly interested in midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, with manager Xavi Hernandez making a special request to the club's hierarchy in order to sign him. The Germany international sees his contract expire at the end of the season and looks unlikely to extend his stay despite Manchester city as a team and Pep Guardiola's desire to keep him. The decision to leave or to stay at the club after the season lies in his hand for now, due to Man city wants him to stay and Barcelona wants him too. Before the end of the season he will make his decision clear before we conclude if he will be a better replacement to Frankie De Jong. |

In any other season, in any other situation, I might have said that Chelsea is going to win the match against Brighton. But I cannot say that in this situation. Because currently, Chelsea is not playing well at all. Just for a quick comparison, Chelsea is in the 11th position of the table with only one win and two losses in the last five matches. And Brighton is in the seventh position of the table with two wins, and one loss in the last five matches.
So in terms of form, I would say Brighton is going to be the better team going into this match. But does it mean Chelsea doesn’t have any chance? Chelsea certainly has a chance to win. But under current circumstances, it is hard to predict anything in favor of Chelsea.
Definitely it is too hard to predict any match in favour of Chelsea due to their current form, they are not doing absolutely well, but I believe that there must be time for correction and a time for positive record. One can not confidently predict that Brighton will win Chelsea at Stanford Bridge with regard that Brighton is above them in premier league table. I believe that Frank lampard is doing his possible best to achieve a positive results and all teams will sit-up and come together to avoid another defeat especially at their home ground on Saturday |

Juventus will try to play more aggressively in the quarter-finals, this is the only last chance for the Old Lady to chase a trophy this season and the match will take place at the Allianz Stadium, so that will be an additional motivation for them to win. Juventus' chances of winning the game will be much bigger compared to Sporting, because there is a lot of support that will make them superior in this match.
Manchester United also have the same ambition, where Old Trafford will be the venue for the opening game for the quarter-finals. I don't think these two games will end in a draw and I predict Juventus and Manchester United will win.
You are right, to me Juventus and Manchester United are the two most favourite teams to win the UEFA Europa League this season for their fantastic performance on their previous games, I'm predicting Juventus to win their matches against Sporting CP at their home today with a good margin and Manchester United to win also win Sevilla, which will enables the both teams to book a place in the semi finals. Both teams are doing well, they are in good form, playing with a good spirits and are determined to be in final and they will make it. |

Why do you think Real Madrid isn't in their best performance?
I think winning the match with 2 goals is good enough, Benzema also scored as usual. You may expect Real Madrid to win with more than 2 goals, right? Chelsea surely performed badly, but it doesn't mean Real Madrid automatically will defeat them with big scores. Today, I think Chelsea played more defensively, which makes Real Madrid a bit hard to score more than 2 goals.
For the 2nd leg, we don't know what will happen. Chelsea may use a different tactic and Real Madrid may be surprised by the changes. However, I don't think Chelsea is in the best form to beat Real Madrid.
Chelsea problem in the just played match against Real Madrid started from their coach's team selection and starting lineup, starting a game with 5 natural defenders in 3:5:2 formation made their game lacks creativity, they were not able to create more chances nor make more clinical attempts that should have been resulted to a goal. They were waiting for a counter attack for them to score, which was not possible because real Madrid took over the game from from first half. So if they really want to Turn this match around in their home, they need to change this type of formation and pattern of game automatically to attacking game. |

The Champions League really has a different atmosphere. AC has once again shown its European DNA and is also a team with a long history. The victory obtained tonight was the result of hard work and a sense of optimism from the Milan players. Previously, Milan was not so favored in this match, because considering their performance in Serie A, which was still inconsistent. A 1-0 advantage is also not completely safe for the Rossoneri, but if Pioli is able to maintain the fitness of his players, Milan will be able to maintain this victory in the second leg later.
Napoli have indeed appeared superior in Serie A, but they have to admit that Milan has an extraordinary mentality. The Partenopei have lost twice to Milan. Some people claim that Napoli's defeat was due to Osimhen's absence. Spalletti should have learned a valuable lesson from the 4-0 defeat and immediately looked for alternatives when he appeared in the Champions League tonight. But again Napoli had to give up on Milan. Dependence on one figure in a team is very dangerous and causes the whole team to shake.
Napoli played an impressive game against AC Milan at Milan home. They possessed the game more than AC Milan, they created more chances than AC Milan, they played more ball on target more than AC Milan but were not able to covert a goal due to absence of their top Stricker Victor Osimhen. If they play with this same spirit in their returning leg at their home, I am predicting that Napoli will qualify for semi finals because they will be able to convert more opportunities and score more goal with Osimhen in their home in the second leg |

All arsenal need is avoid a loss to man city and win all their remaining matches and it's feasible... Up gunners
It will not be easy for arsenal to hold a draw or even win Manchester city with their current form and performance in their previous game. I think there are things to put into consideration on Arsenal title race. We have to understand that the match will be played at Etihad stadium, the Man city home on 26th April, they will play Chelsea and Newcastle on 29th April and 7th May respectively. All this matches should be considered big games for the gunners, which I think Arsenal can not come out of them victoriously. That's where I'm drawing conclusions that they won't be successful in winning the premier League because they won't be able to win their remaining matches . |

your opinion is right, tuchel came to bayern munich at the wrong time because bayern munich under nagelsmann was quite impressive in the ucl by successfully beating psg and barcelona. but with the current situation, Bayern Munich had to swallow a defeat with a score of 3-0 in the first leg. I think Bayern Munich will find it difficult to turn things around in the second leg later.
for Manchester City they seem to have booked a place for the semifinals if you look at the score they recorded in this first leg. I am quite impressed with the game from Manchester City and hope they become UCL champions this season.
I am much impressed with that wonderful performance by Manchester city in yesterday win against Bayern Munich at their home, Hopefully Manchester city will sieze the opportunity to ensure they qualify for semi finals, because they will play the retuning leg at Ariana with much confidence, and without any pressure, they will play more defensive game making it difficult for Bayern to score in the game. Manchester city were much more clinical in their attack than Bayern Munich in that match. |
