All team in group F looks like they all still have potentials to qualify for the next stage of sixteen if only they will be able to win their next two games. I have really wondered as my curiosity is now peaked about how the results for the next match will turn out

Especially with teams like Dortmund and PSG I have really wondered what will be of them, it seems group F had a pack of informed teams and so they all had to struggle their way in a situation that looks like the "the survivor of the fittest" but then I'm still very much optimistic about Dortmund and pSG winning their next match and qualifying to the next round of the competition but then they will both have to further improve because beyond the group stage is a tougher stage ahead.

Man United recruited Rasmus Hojlund for a transfer fee of 72 million pounds. However, the Danish player's performance is extremely unstable. He started struggling in the Premier League and still needs goals for MU in this arena. I wonder why Hojlund hasn't been able to score in the Premier League yet. I liked Hojlund's performance. He is a speedy striker, ready to outrun the opponent's 4 or 3 defenders. However, it will take some time before he stabilizes. Rasmus is new to the club and is slowly getting used to the rhythm of the other players. Hopefully, he will become a good striker in the future.

We are too busy talking about group F and forget that group H is also an interesting group. As we know, Barcelona lost against Shakhtar and that also dashed Barcelona's hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 early. Now Barcelona and Porto have the same 9 points and this will be an exciting competition considering that anyone can win the group with two matches remaining.

However, that's actually not the main point, but Shakhtar, who currently has 6 points, could shift one of the places at the top of Group H because they will play Antwerp (who obviously didn't qualify) and they will definitely get 3 additional points. After that Shakstar will play Porto in the last match and if they do well then Shakstar will collect 12 points. Barcelona and Porto must be careful if they don't want to lose their current place.

The fact that the other big teams in the Spanish La Liga aren't doing so well as they were expected I think is the main reason Girona should capitalize on their current performances and extend their lead at the top of the table. The beauty of a league is when there's a possibility that it can be won by the unexpected team which has hasn't happened in the La Liga for a very long time. It's been won by either of Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid for almost the last 20 years.

Considering their impressive performance in the league  this season, Girona looks like the team that's finally gonna break deadlock and become the first other than the three mentioned clubs to win the Spanish La Liga title even when I think it'll be a very difficult task to achieve. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona currently has major injury concerns which I think will definitely affect the performance of the teams. Girona has shown that they're capable of winning the league but what I don't know is if they can continue with their current form and performance

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia the player of Napoli is the most important thing they have and I think Napoli knows Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had a huge effect on this team. Napoli is obviously trying to keep Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for a longer time but the contract of this player is going to end in 2027.
Recently the agent of this player said Aurelio De Laurentiis is a good man and he is man of his word and it seems they are waiting for an offer from Aurelio De Laurentiis.
 

There might be a good opportunity for Arsenal this week to take advantage of. I mean while Manchester City and Liverpool are facing each other in Etihad a possible advantageous result would be helpful for Arsenal to take the lead directly. But on one hand Arsenal had better stay strong against Brentford in that away game of theirs.

This is technically a game that they should be able to win decently. But when it comes to the Premier League it is really difficult to be sure of even favourite teams. Liverpool ended their winning streak by hitting them hard like 3-0. Maybe Arsenal can take advantage of their weaknesses.

I think Mbappe is the best player Manchester United has ever signed. Nobody is sure that he'll bite, no matter how much money they throw at him. While United has a lot of history and reputation, they dont seem to be playing their best right now, do they? The French player Mbappe wants more than just a paycheck. He wants wins and Champions League glory, and United isnt quite there yet.

Then there's Real Madrid. They are more than just a club; when it comes to the Champions League, they are a tradition. I think Mbappe should go to Madrid if he wants to be one of the best, really push himself, and win the biggest titles. You dont just play for the money or the league; you play to leave a reputation and win the big games. United might offer a big cheque, but Madrid has the chance to make history.

But other rumors say that Manchester United wants to sign Thomas Muller in January, saying Erik Ten Hag wants a more experienced squad, is this action really stupid? Trying to sign an old player who has run out of stamina and skills.

I don't know if they realize their mistake or if the management wants older but experienced players, but it's hard to understand because we know other clubs try to recruit young talented players and then they will hone their skills for the future of the club later, but Manchester United don't seem to do that.

You don't have to wait long for Girona to slip up, just wait when they are completely beaten by Bilbao or Barcelona and Real Madrid will reap the benefits. Girona cannot always escape the huge pressure that exists, it comes from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid so the top position is never safe for Girona.

Girona's defeat is more likely to be expected than a win. Not sure if there are any Girona fans among the posters in this thread, but there always seems to be support for them against weak teams. This week, Girona received a big challenge from Bilbao. I'm sure they will slip up, but let's see what happens.

I'm not sure about that, but I'll wait for the results.

You sound with great confidence on Juventis winning Inter and also winning the league. I am not sure with this conclusion of yours because you shoudn't forget that Inter is strong and they can be a big challenge to Juventus as they have already become a threat. The match between both teams can still be used to predict who will win this year trophy between these two teams.

No matter that Inter in playing in more than one competition doesn't mean that they will lose focus on winning the trophy this season. Presently, they have a better chance than Juventus. This is because Inter is two points ahead and Inter will win Juve in their next match. We can see that from how Inter still keep to their superb performance as the are first on the group in UCL.

Manchester United's situation regarding coach and player relations is heating up again. Currently it is rumoured that after Jadon Sancho was involved in a problem with Ten Hag that has not ended until now there is now the name Varane who is rumoured to be dissatisfied with the way Ten Hag's leadership at Manchester United has made the relationship between the two tenuous now.
This situation gave rise to a rumour that Varane will leave to avoid further conflict with Ten Hag and indeed this is the fastest way for him to get out of the trap of his problems (just like Ronaldo) where it is now rumoured that Varane will leave in January. This will be exploited by several clubs because there are already offers from SPL clubs to bring Varane to the oil fields and there are also offers from Bayern that have been prepared for Varane if he decides to leave.
But clearly this will be a disaster again for Manchester United especially for their defence because if in the end Varane leaves then indeed the defence has many gaps where the current situation is some of their players are also injured.

Are we now trying to put our whole trust on his last season’s performance?? Then I think the saying Pas Glory comes alive. If you say his key player’s aren’t active, I can point at least 2 matches where ETH had his complete squad yet still lost the match this season, we should mot try to paint black white because we want to help him keep his job, ETH is losing his dressing room and that’s one of the first signs of many that shows you’re a poor coach.

 Any team currently is a threat to this Manchester United side no matter how poor you play because this Manchester United is in shambles, last season I think they were saved by majorly individual performances and that is what we aren’t seeing this season, ETH could be slowly losing his job, i feel If he gets knocked out of the UCL, I think he’ll be given few matches before being showed the EXIT door at (The Theatre of Dreams).

Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) President Ednaldo Rodrigues declared that Carlo Ancelotti will be moving to Brazil but we have heard nothing from the Real Madrid coach concerning his transfer. Real Madrid has also never issued any statement regarding the future of the Italian coach. Maybe he wants to avoid any form of distraction and focus solely on his job in Los Blancos. There is also a report from a Spanish news outlet Relevo that the Real Board led by Florentino Perez is planning to offer Ancelotti a two-year contract to enable him to lead the club to 2026.

Roberto De Zebri who is also an Italian would be a good coach to replace his countryman. His last season's exploits in Brighton and his coaching period in Shakhtar Donetsk is a testimony of his uncommon coaching prowess. But his problem will be his ability to manage some of the big names in Real Madrid. I don't know how he will be able to control top players like Thibaut Courtois, Rodrygo, Antonio Rudiger, Vinicius Jr, and Jude Bellingham. I hope it will not be like the case of André Villas-Boas who failed in Chelsea because he lost the support of some key players.

Still, there's a high risk in betting on Man United... I prefer waiting until their performance hits its peak in the 2024 transfer season. Sir James Ratcliffe seems poised to make a significant impact on Man United's football in the upcoming transfer window. There's a lot of workhome to be done, and the most glaring issue is the imperfect main team squad.

Ten Hag should be able to show positive progress in the upcoming games, and when facing Everton, the chances of either team winning seem 50:50 to me. Both teams appear equal based on the history of their early season matches untill this week.

I'm still optimistic about betting on Everton. At this moment, I haven't seen a significant improvement in Man United's strategy, while Chelsea has already demonstrated progress in evaluating their performance from last season to this one.

Ronaldo and Messi are known currently to be world football stars and they have this effect on every team they're in, the fans and football in general, they're two comparisons that just can't be exhausted, their style of football varies but are top notch, Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr had impact on the club in terms of fan building and gameplay, Al Nassr came to the spotlight and they had more recognition and views in their games than before.
For Messi, he has thesame effect in Inter Miami as Ronaldo did in Al Nassr, the both players are appreciated in their respective teams and they're the reason why our of the blue the two clubs are watched closely by fans.

 For the game between Al Nassr and Inter Miami, there's a reason why it's fixed and other than normal European contests, that game is one that'd be the center of attraction in the world. Everyone wants to see the world best players against themselves one more time. I anticipate the game also, although I percieve that Al Nassr would have an upper hand against Inter Miami but let me not predict, the game is one that'll surely bring back the most heated argument of who's the best player amongst the two men and I really can't wait for the result.

It's very natural that they started this season less than optimally because their star players have been sold, and of course they need to adapt again. This is what makes me confused about a team like Dortmund, they don't seem serious about competing for the Bundesliga trophy, just look at all their star players every year being sold. How can we compete with Byaen Munich if it continues like this?

Luckily, we now have another team that is capable of being a tough competitor for Bayern Munich to win the trophy this season, namely Leverkusen, making the Bundesliga even more interesting and competitive. I don't think Dortmund will be a big competitor this season, they are only chasing the UCL league slot. But in the Dortmund match against Mönchengladbach I will bet on Dortmund winning.

Although Monaco is not a weak team but still, I personally still believe in betting on PSG to win in this match. Because anyway, so far PSG has managed to get a winning streak, until now PSG has managed to be at the top of the Ligue 1 standings and has a 3-point gap with Monaco who is in third place. So yes, with results like that then of course, I'm sure PSG will maintain its top position by beating Monaco in this match. Because if PSG manages to win, then of course PSG will slowly manage to create a good points gap with the competing teams behind them.

I don't know why everyone is surprised by this decision. Actually, the FIFA reserves a maximum of up to €7.5 million for one play up to 365 days, which equates to €20,548 per day for an injured player if they get injured during the World Cup qualification games during the 2023-2026 period.

All of this can be read here. 

This has nothing to do with giving an advantage to Barcelona exclusively. This is an agreed upon program established by the FIFA after reaching consensus among all participants. The program is called the "Club Protection Program".

Clubs keeps fighting to transform to a better form. We know how vulnerable Manchester United can be this season, losing against elite teams and firmly holding their ground against average clubs. Manchester united might not be in their best form but they're actually having good scores from league games but the only place they've failed is the UEFA Champions League. Erik Ten Hag have tried to lift the club to the specialised top positions. Manchester United faces Galatasaray next in UEFA CL, can the Red Devils be able to recover lost points against their rivals this season.

I have learned about Rudi Garcia's departure from Napoli newly. I got really surprised as well because it seems like everything happened so quickly. Now Walter Mazzarri has taken over and I'm quite curious about how good Napoli will be from now on. He has a history with managing this team many years ago at the same time.

Those times weren't too bad as far as I remember so this is why I'm curious about him now too. If he manages the team at a level between Rudi Garcia and Spalletti then I think the board would be okay with him to move on to another season.
