Quoting my yesterday post.

Congratulations Chelsea for the another lose, this has been expected by many people because Chelsea is a weak club. Today we will see an another overrated weak club like Chelsea aka Manchester United will lose too against Manchester City.

Congratulations for Manchester United able to follow Chelsea's path.

People who say Haaland is nothing without De Bruyne need to watch this match, Haaland almost scored 4 goals if Onana didn't block his shot and header. This is what Manchester City, full pressure from the first minute until the end.

It seems McTominay is better to play in attacking midfielder since he currently the top scorer in Manchester United.

Congratulations to Erik Ten Hag, he'll continue getting more poor results with the use of Marcus Rashford, Even Pep Guardiola drop his best players just to show them, they are drop-able if they don't perform well.

Though Erling Haaland performs better with Kevin De Brunye on the pitch alongside him. He did well yesterday evening, shoulda resulted to four goals but two of those efforts saved by Andrea Onana reduced it. How can someone say he is a small game player? I read that shit and burst out laughing. They know nothing bout soccer.

How many chances have been created by Scott Mc Tominay? Manchester United have a very good attacking midfielder, you see those so called attackers are flops ( Rashford ).

Manchester United were just horrible in this derby game. I thought of betting on Manchester City to win but somehow I couldn't trust them completely. Because Manchester United can be unpredictable in home games against big teams in the league. Sometimes they lose hard but the other times they show a great performance.

But I must have done the opposite considering how poor they have been since the beginning of the season. There isn't the same Manchester United from the previous season now. They were desperate in this game and the final score could have been bigger than 3-0. Haaland was the man of the match with 2 goals and 1 assist in my opinion.

Manchester City showed class tonight innit? They should have scored more than just three goals, thanks to Andrea Onana for saving the efforts from Erling Haaland twice.
Manchester City are better even with the absence of key players, they would run down Manchester United anyday with this kind of display. They really deserves the win but it feels like the penalty awarded was too light. Though, Hojlund should have done better by contesting for the ball rather than dragging Rodri slightly.

Home and away they have been poor. I even placed em to score a goal and they couldn't. Erling Haaland deserves it, I read somewhere in the UEFA Champions League someone saying Erling Haaland is a small game player. ( Joker Innit? )

I saw this image below on one of my friend's WhatsApp statuses earlier today. I don't know if the game was played by him or if it was an image saved from somewhere, but the image got me thinking, and we got into a debate because of that.
 
I was telling someone that if I'm the one to have such a slip and the game is already showing me to cash out such an amount of money, which is equal to $865 based on our local exchange rate, seeing such an amount as cash out available and leaving it will make me appear like someone who is too greedy, but the guy was telling me it's not being greedy but it's all about taking risks. The debate didn't end well, so I decided to bring this up here to see the responses from experienced gamblers.
 
Lucky for anyone who ever has that bet slip, it seems like the game played in his favour.


Whoever played the game knew the risk's involved and must have strong believe in Real Madrid. I also saw the post on Twitter from a punter.
Some years back when Real Madrid played against Juventus during that final, I saw similar high stake. I won't consider this greed no, whoever did was either expecting a win or loss and know what? He had he's profit Yeah?

Why rush for small penny? Lol! Good, though, personally if I did stake such a game, I won't cash out. The money used to stake the game even if lost won't affect me because it'll be easier to replace. I know the risk before jumping in. Congratulations to the punter, most of them showcase this to attract engagement.

Maybe many of us have heard about the news that Sandro Tonali is banned from playing for the next 10 months and currently Newcastle also feels like they have lost an important midfielder in their team. Now the names of new midfielders have emerged who are ready to fill the position left by Sandro Tonali and there are Phillips, McTominay, Onana and Palhinha. In my opinion, currently the right midfielder to fill Sandro Tonali's place is Phillips from Manchester City, apart from his cost which is quite cheap compared to the others, his performance is still good even though he is rarely played by Manchester City. I think that can at least fill the hole left by Sandro Tonali and it remains to be seen how they can offer him to Manchester City in January. In your opinion, who is the right person to replace Sandro Tonali at Newcastle?

Bayern Munich would be back for Fulhams Palhinha he won't be part of the list of the players Newcastle would chase. If I'm guessing right, the player is also waiting for Bayern Munich to bud for him during January Transfer Window.
Manchester United won't let go of Mc Tominay from Manchester United until the end of the season. Onana? I don't even consider him.
Just like you said Philips would fit in well, with Leeds United he was also a great player he would get more minutes too against Newcastle United.

I've already seen news saying options to leave would be considered during the January Transfer Window... Right time to see him leave innit?!

Real Madrid is currently sharing the firet place in standings with Girona, unexpectedly and at the beginning of the LaLiga season. Girona has performed impressively consistently winning against strong teams. Previous seasons, Girona has struggled to secure middle table positions or even avoid relegation to the second league it'stheir first season in historythey performedthis good. Is it possible that Girona will maintain this level of performance and potentially secure one of the top three positions by the end of LaLiga season?

On the other hand, Real Madrid has won with a significant victory and a Rimontada over Barcelona in the Classico thanks to the great Bellingham scoring both goals, and winning 2-1 in a comeback victory at Barcelona's home stadium. I believe this will have a positive impact on Real Madrid coming matches, while it may have the opposite effect on Barcelona.
I'm suprised at Girona's performance this season, i didn't expect them to get the far at a point i felt they'll drop point but they've been very consistent and has refused to drop points however about finishing top 3 im not very sure about that, though it's very possible but im pretty sure they won't finish above Barcelona even though they're above them currently,  when they start getting much injuries or being affected by fatigue we might see them drop points.

 Realmadrid's victory against Barcelona came as a surprise to everyone because in the 1st half Barcelona was dominating the game but i was suprise when jude Bellingham scored a volley to get an equalizer, and even scored another to seal the winning, currently Realmadrid are like the strongest team in the Laliga currently and i feel they're like the most likely to win the Laliga title this season.

I must say this is a true definition of consistency, nobody expected that from Girona. They could go ahead to even win the next four La Liga games they will play before facing Barcelona. Impressive way they have acquired points around their fellow smaller clubs while waiting for the big boys. In the last five games, one lose is such a good result, the coach has done well.

I love Real Madrid heaven knows but I have that feeling Barcelona will retain the La Liga at the end of this season still.
Shout out the Jude Bellingham, Kepa, Camavinga and Luka Modric. They're my MVPs in that game. They helped Real Madrid win the first El Classico of the season.

Manchester united have so much problem and I don't know how soon they will resolve it and get back on track fully, soonest fans and everyone will loose confidence in ten hag and he may likely loose his job soon if he doesn't improve his tactics and get the team back on track. Especially when they meet with Manchester city they always seem to be too scared to play well with them let alone win them.


Soon it will happen that Manchester united will be struggling amongst the small teams in the premier league if they continually perform in this manner. Manchester city is looking so promising to be the champions of the premier league this season although they are yet to be at the top but I think they are currently on the race which is currently between Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester city as they are currently occupying the top four position on the table.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester United, I can say he is the best manager, tactically and he understands the fans better. This is not the time to see another manager being sacked, it's time to support and back the manager. He needs that very Importantly.
I don't think he'll be sacked and if they get him sacked they'll be making a very big mistake, it time to work to meet his demands.

They will bounce back stronger, might not happen so fast but they'll. Erik Ten Hag would have to drop Marcus Rashford a little bit, if he had score that goal he missed, it was supposed to change it all.
He's kinda one of the worst Manchester United players now including Bruno Fernandez, still yet to understand his problem really.

They are bad in La Liga? Are you not wrong to say that?
They're in 3rd place now and is that a bad thing? Sure, they may have lost a big game yesterday, but they can't say it was because they played badly, especially since it was a very draining game and they didn't have a ful squad.
I think they are much better now, although not as good as in their heyday, but if we compare with the previous season then we will see they are much better.
There is still hope for them in the Champions League, at least they can provide competition and not fall in the group stages.

For the last five weeks in the La Liga I can say that Barcelona have lost some pace. Because they lost 7 points in these games. The last one hit them even harder as they lost in the El Clasico. Everything is fine for Barcelona in the Champions League for now. They are in a very comfortable group to finish as the leader.

However I think Xavi should focus on bringing better results in the La Liga by their upcoming games. The point gap with the leader there isn't big but they need to keep a consistent form not to experience the same thing Real Madrid did last season.

Real Madrid can easily pull away from them after some point otherwise.

Too much has been said, I think Barcelona lost the first El Classico game last season and went on winning the Spanish League last season, they are not so far from Real Madrid and Girona.
Immediately injured players returns, Barcelona will definitely go back to winning ways.
They can still.go ahead to defend the league ( La Liga ) but not the Champions League, they can be seen as a threat with lots of potentials.

I agree with you man, The La Liga would be easier to retrieve, there's no difference from the squad that won last season and this season, maybe they was more determined last season.

Cadiz and Sevilla only share 1 point after the two only drew 2-2. I think Sevilla missed the opportunity here to steal 3 points at home to Cadiz and they even looked really struggling and had to fall behind with two goals scored by Cadiz players. Even though in the end Sevilla was able to catch up with 1 goal in the first half, it was still less than their desired target. In fact, Sevilla really dominated this match even until the second half, but Sevilla only managed to score 1 additional goal and failed to make a comeback. This result makes Cadiz and Sevilla both collect 10 and close to each other on the standings.
Yes, it is unfortunate that with the many chances they can create only 1 can be lodged into a goal. I think they were unlucky in this match, because with the opportunities they created, they should be able to score more than 2 goals, but that didn't happen.
Cadiz did not want to be humiliated in front of their own suporters, and this result is indeed a good result for them. On the other hand, they also actually played well, despite being under pressure by Sevilla, but they were still able to steal a goal, and even they could take the lead first.

Indeed, Sevilla are unlucky and maybe they should be able to take advantage of the opportunities that exist and not waste opportunities too often. Maybe it's quite difficult but they are an experienced team in La Liga and they should also be more stable when facing opponents they should be able to beat. I think here Cadiz lost control too and in the second half they forgot that a thin lead doesn't mean they can secure full points at home and as a result Sevilla managed to equalize. If Cadiz were able to widen their lead, of course they would get 3 points, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

Cadiz could have won the game yesterday if they had gone back to sit down and park the bus with Man man defense. They lost control of the defense since they wanted to show strength by attacking.

Sevilla snoozed during the first few minutes of the game. And the way they defend I don't understand, is this the new aim of the new coach. I haven't seen much improvement since he was signed. The best game so far was against Real Madrid where they got to seal a point from La Liga league leaders.

I would like to blame chelsea if this club will continue to betting on the young players. This club shall have stopped its bad habit of buying young players instead of experienced players. Look at how some young players like jackson was only contributing so small.
It's so useless to buy another young player again while there has been many proofs if young players are not ready to competing in the premier league. The club needs to have experienced striker, not kids that being forced to play in a serious competition like EPL.

EPL was not the same like la liga which was only a few clubs that were dominating the league. EPL has so many clubs that can compete each other. Look at how felix was struggling playing in the chelsea. We can also take ansu fati too.
These guys feel EPL was far difficult compared with la liga. No guarantee buying young players will be giving good output.
This guy has been spending so much money only to gambling with the age of players.
  In my opinion i don't think getting a team filled with young talents is the problem but getting the ones that doesn't suit the club is the problem, why on earth would they sign Jackson as their striker a player who wasn't a 1st starter from Villareal  to come top 9 for Chelsea he's not even strong or physically fit to be Chelsea's top 9, left for me they shouldn't had loaned Lukaku to Roma they would've allowed him stay for this season and sell or loan him out next transfer window when they get a proper striker.

 Chelsea need to change their idea of recruiting younger players with little experience when they've not got a very experienced coach with a winning mentality that could train those players to be very tough and difficult to play against they don't even communicate well amongst themselves on the pitch.

And they have guts to call that flop the new Didier Drogba for Chelsea? They're all joking. I have said it a million times now, they should make sure Victor Oshime is signed for Chelsea. He fits right in.
When the likes of Nkuku and Mudryk are fir, do you think they'll want to link up with a flop? Nicholas Jackson would be best seen from.the wing. I don't think he a good number nine for Chelsea.

They need to change the way they buy under aged players for Chelsea, this has not being the way they did all these years. Todd Boehly has got things to change. Else, there will be trouble.

In April 21, 2001 Alf-Inge Haaland, the father of Erling Haaland, who was playing for Manchest City,  received one of the worst injuries of all time from Roy Keane of Manchester United.  As a matter of fact,  many people are of the opinion that this injury ended his football career.

Fast forward to today, his son Erling Haaland is now a superstar in Manchester City, the club from where his father retired. From recent matches between Manchester United and Manchester City,  it is looking like Erling Haaland have come to revenge his father's injury. We can see it in today's match where he has scored the two goals of the cities and still showing willingness to score more.

Do you think it is possible that Haaland is on a revenge mission against Manchester United?

Finally got to smile  Smiley today. Revenge? This is a joke. Erling Haaland is busy enjoying himself, he has nothing to do with revenge how do y'all see football?
Jack Grealish should have been carded for interfering into the issue between Amrabat and Foden. Is Amrabat even a typical Manchester United player? Man has been nodd for games now. Same goes with Hojlund, and Marcus Rashford they're not useful to Manchester United.

Congratulations to Manchester City Pep Guardiola's team, they really deserve the win tonight. They played better. Short of words. Manchester United are no fit to match Manchester City. Bye!

PSG will play vs Brest today which suffered negative results in the latest matches. Mbappe, Ramos and Hakimi are included in the starting eleven, I expect them to win.
Mbappe brought victory to PSG in the last minute scoring a goal so that the score was 2 - 3 for PSG's victory, playing at home Brest performed very well and they played as hard as possible not to lose points but unfortunately PSG played better than them, PSG also had difficulties to score in the second half but Mbappe managed to score a goal in the last minute and got the full three points today occupying second place in the current standings.

Brest has to admit the greatness of PSG even though at the beginning I was still a little doubtful about betting on PSG but I was sure that betting on PSG would risk losing money but the fact is that PSG managed to get a win against Brest, a match that was quite tough made me a little frustrated but at least they managed to win it .

Thank Goodness Kylian Mbappe was around to save them for trouble. I was beginning to question their consistency. Though that win was from the penalty, good he was able to score after missing the penalty.
Kylian Mbappe lead still as the highest goal scoring player in League One with ten goals, he would end up winning this one too.

I'd love to see Gennaro Gattuso winning the derby today against Lyon, they are the better side and should win after doing same at home during the mid week game. I'm backing him to get a successful coaching career here with Marseille.

Championship Round 14 is starting today with two early interesting matches Leeds vs Huddersfield and Southampton vs Birmingham.
Odds are silly low on both Leeds and Southampton, and I dont think they will win so easily as odds suggest.
All teams are missing couple of players but they all need points today.

Best bet today for me without a doubt is Ipswich vs Plymouth, but I am adding a little spice with first half win for better odds.
Second bet I am taking is Leicester against QPR that is in terrible form right now.

[b]My Bets: Ipswich & Leicester win[/b]
https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/england/championship/matches

The both of em cam through. The foxes are focused, it strikes me that they would be back in the Premier League next season only if they keep up this consistent performance. Thunderbolt from Harry Winks secured them the win to maintain them position at the top of the Championships Standing.

Not that I want to mock Wayne Rooney, but has been a terrible manager, is he any different from Frank Lampard?
They have a terrible defense too, first two goals Southampton scored are due to to defense errors. It seems like they're sleeping on the pitch.
Three lose since his appointment as head coach of Blue Birmingham City. They should face Ipswich next fixture, another win for them I guess and four loses for Wazza?!#

Pochettino admitted that Chelsea had problems scoring goals after the loss to Brentford at home. Now I'm tired of seeing Chelsea. Currently, Pochettino is still in a deadlock with Chelsea. He couldn't get the job done. Besides talking, Pochettino cannot do anything.
Difficulties surround this team when, in the next two rounds, they will face top teams Tottenham and Man City. After that, they continued to face Newcastle United, Brighton and Man Utd. If they play with their current erratic performance, the home team at Stamford Bridge could completely sink to the bottom of the Premier League table.
I don't really know who to blame in the last game Chelsea played against Brent.  Chelsea stated the game well which they dominated the game in the beginning of the first half, they were able to create opportunities that didn't work out for them but they couldn't continue with the way they started. I won't put blame on Pochettino,  if the players had continued the way they started I don't think the game would have ended with such result. I put the blame on the players because their performance was terrible in the second half. Chelsea will be facing strong teams in the coming games it won't be easy with them.

The success and failure of a team would go to the manager. Take for example, Tottenham Hotspur head coach, the squad have achieved success since his appointment, fans and opposition fans have all given credits to him for that, and if he was failing same would be done. ( Erik Ten Hag should be partly blamed for Manchester United woes )

So if I'm correct, Pochetino Mauricio should be blamed for that, Brentford came up with a good plan to win the game, but immediately after the draw to Arsenal, we all thought Chelsea could wrap this one up easily.
I'm keen on the meeting between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea in the next Premier League fixture, if they happen to go on with this charade against League recent leaders, they'll be fvcked hard in the axx!
2554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 29, 2023, 03:02:28 PM
I think Juventus achieved this victory with great difficulty because they scored goals several times but VAR always disallowed them. I was pessimistic whether this time Juventus would draw considering that almost all of their chances failed and not a single goal was scored. Moreover, Verona also performed quite well which made Juventus unable to even do their job well.

Even though Verona was under pressure, at least they didn't concede many goals in this match and that at least made them more confident when facing a much stronger team. This victory took Juventus to the top of the standings but this is only temporary because Inter and Milan will start their match today.
Juventus on first place in the league, that hasnt happened for many months, and if Napoli and Roma win today, they will stay there until the next matchday. Very nice after all the problems last season and the beginning of this season. Of course, the goal in minute 96 was very much luck, but with 30 shots on goal, this has not been a good performance, they should have made many more goals. Andrea Cambiaso scores his second goal in his 67th Serie A game and then such a valuable one.

Emotional game you know, that goal from Andrea Cambiaso should be worth a billion dollars. Lol. I already gave on the game thinking it was all over but I agree it was kinda of a miracle and luck in between.
It's good to see how they've projected themselves, it's never been easy for Juventus since last season.
Keans three or two goals cancelled! Man would be pissed you know , that first goal was beautiful, but with the help of VAR canceled.

The sit at the top now, they should hope and pray for Jose Mourinho side As Roma to win Inter Milan. I would love that though.  Matchday round 10 has been a good one for the Old Ladies!

No offense, but Barcelona, I believe could have done better of those out Injured had early fitness. They did score that goal early and should have doubled it. The absence of these players forced them to make use of yougins, they do so bad, though I expected a draw.

Barcelona handed the game to Real Madrid. They of all people should know that when you're playing Real Madrid, you have to bury your chances. They had a chance to score at least 3 goals in the first half but they couldn't make use of it.
I don't think the young talent they used was the problem because they actually played really well in the first half. They outplayed Madrid. The problem was them not burying their chances.

I also saw that in the second half there was a significant change in the Real Madrid team's game after Luka Modric and Camavinga came on, and overall I dare say that the performance of these two teams was quite disappointing, I watched this match very disappointed, I thought El Clasico would present a fierce match but I was wrong.

How do you want the match to be? That was a very tense and end-to-end game. Barcelona was better in the first half while Madrid was better in the second.
Modric and Camavinga changed the game, unfortunately for Barcelona, they had no one to bring in to change the game due to injuries.
It's still a very long season and it's still very well open for any team to win the league. Remember, the goal is to win the league and not just the classico. Madrid won't want to lose the league to Barcelona for two matches in a row.
The first classico of last season Madrid won 3-1 but guess who won the league?

I've always known they would successfully defend the La Liga very well. I do not count them out at all not even in the slightest way, they have all it takes to win the league once again.
Modric might be aged now but he's got experience no youngin in Real Madrid has, they should learn watch and learn from Luka Modric during big games.


Cadiz and Sevilla only share 1 point after the two only drew 2-2. I think Sevilla missed the opportunity here to steal 3 points at home to Cadiz and they even looked really struggling and had to fall behind with two goals scored by Cadiz players. Even though in the end Sevilla was able to catch up with 1 goal in the first half, it was still less than their desired target. In fact, Sevilla really dominated this match even until the second half, but Sevilla only managed to score 1 additional goal and failed to make a comeback. This result makes Cadiz and Sevilla both collect 10 and close to each other on the standings.

That goal from Sergio Ramos should have stand. How was that a foul, the impact was just too soft to be awarded I wasn't happy with the official. Though Sevila messed up losing possession twice which lead to the two goals Cadiz scored during the first half.
Ivan Rakitic goal was incredible, it should be voted goal of the week. Ocampus and Rakitic efforts weren't enough to get them three points.

Incredible game between Cagliari and Frosinone.

Frosinone was winning by 3-0 and Cagliari managed to win by 4-3 at the end.

They scored 4 goals in 30 minutes, missed a penalty, and hit 2 posts.

The two last goals are the main shockers, how did they score two goals in two minutes? It should be the mentality, I saw them losing I was pissed, I saw the comeback getting close I became hopeful of seeing my game and prediction aligning.
It was both sides to draw the match, they shoulda done that but since it's got to be them first ever win in Seria A this season, then , I celebrate with em on this one!

I'm rooting for Romelu Lukaku to silence Inter Milan fans with a goal or two today, he deserves that for stability of his mental health. They have been so cruel to him

I think it's still too early to predict anything about Barcelona. , they have to improve a lot of their shortcomings to be able to perform even better.
Barcelona fans and their hierarchy have to be very patient with Xavi, they cannot win the CL this season, and i don't think it is going to happen anytime soon, last season Xavi managed to win the LaLiga, but they were eliminated from the CL in the group stage. There is progress this season, because they have won 3 out of 3 in their group and they are almost certain to qualify, but how far can they go? I don't think it is possible for Barcelona to go past the QF stage of the CL this season, they were used to being contenders of the CL every season, but not anymore and their fans have to live with it.

You've said your own opinion on how the season will be for Barcelona. The board members and management are not applying pressure on Xavi Hernandez. Yes, he is a Barcelona legend and they give time to them legends just like they did with Koeman.
Barcelona has whatever it takes to win the Champions League, they have experienced players that have won the Champions League final.

They could go on winning the next three fixtures in the group, that I double doubt because of Porto who are right behind them.  Players like, IIkay Gundogan, Robert Lewandoski, Marcos Alonso and lastly, Christensen has experience. They have the players and depth to win too.

Kroos retired from the German team in 2021 to focus on Real Madrid. Although he is used in matches, this veteran midfielder is still not satisfied with his new role. Kroos wants to leave Real Madrid. He currently only has a contract with Los Blancos after this season ends, and most importantly, he is no longer trusted by Carlo Ancelotti. Before Barca in the El Clasico match, Kroos was assigned the starting role by coach Ancelotti but could have played more effectively. He couldn't help Real Madrid hold the ball and was completely overwhelmed. As a result, Kroos was replaced from the field in the 63rd minute, and that was when Real Madrid gradually turned the game around.
With significant contributions, Kroos is considered one of Real Madrid's legends. If there are no talks with the La Liga giants by Christmas, he could leave as early as January.

Toni Kroos has won it all, he needs that retirement. He was amongst the set of players that won the FIFA World Cup Competition 2014 against Argentina. Mario Gotze made sure his nation did win.
He's done everything that needs to be done for Real Madrid, don't expect too much of/ from Toni. Last season against Manchester City during semi finals, I watched him closely and saw him slack down. He is no longer the Kroos we know. Age has come and I do think, it's okay if he gets reduced game time for Real Madrid.

I doubt he is upset, he has been linked to Manchester City, and if that's correct, it'll be a good reunion with Pep Guardiola. Pep Guardiola knows how to work with his strength. It's time he leaves Real Madrid, he's won it all.

In fact, the influence of several injured Manchester City players on Manchester City's performance is quite big. It seems that there has been a slight decline in Manchester City's performance in the last few matches, but when compared to Manchester United, which is also very down, it is clear that the possibility of Manchester City winning this match is very large.
By looking at the odds, it's clear that City will come away with three points. The Manchester derby is today; on which team are you betting? Because they are the favorite, I am betting on the away team to win in a stimulating scenario. On second thinking, Pep Guardiola is after the EPL crown and is not going to give up in permitting Spurs to sit comfortably above the league table. Manchester United hosts Manchester City at Old Trafford; the game will be resilient, and I'm confident the Red Devils' manager, Erik Ten Hag, is only capable of employing a defensive approach against the City.

Manchester United over time even from time of Sir Alex Ferguson had always used a certain strategy which is to sit back and wait for errors them they launch counter attacks on the opposing club.
I'm not sure I'll see the game and any reason I'd want to see the game is to learn and watch from Manchester City. Manchester United are not playing so well even if derby games can be unpredictable and tough.

Manchester United should get to score a goal but winning the game is the angle I'm not so certain about. Manchester City have been better they should win this game if things go well for them.

Bellingham has already scored 13 goals in 13 games(!) and he's also made 3 assists, so that's 16 points in 13 games. I guess after Messi this is the first candidate for the golden ball, the main thing is not to get injured.
The echoes of Madridstas praising and chanting victory songs against the Bluagrana rocked Camp Nou. An astounding comeback prevailing for them; they are not slacking and are giving everything they've got in matches. Do you know who is the driving force behind Los Blancos' success? Of course, he is none other than Bellingham. Jude Bellingham is the current reigning Real Madrid and La Liga starlet. The Englishman keeps impressing everyone with his outstanding abilities and stats in matches; I hope he maintains this brilliant consistent form because he will be honored when the time approaches.

13 goals in 13 games with 3 assist, Yeah? He is worth every penny placed on him by Real Madrid. He is such a big asset. I say he gets Injured and there'll be a big of scare in the squad.
The brace from Jude Bellingham was enough to put an end to the reigning Champions home record this season.
Not just Jude Bellingham was key figure to see the match won by Real Madrid, Carlo Ancellotti is a good tactician and with the introduction of Luka Modric and Camavinga we saw changes In the game.

No offense, but Barcelona, I believe could have done better of those out Injured had early fitness. They did score that goal early and should have doubled it. The absence of these players forced them to make use of yougins, they do so bad, though I expected a draw.
