By next week,we will be seeing teams in action again in the UEFA champions league and one of the games I will looking forward to watching is Mancity vs Real Madrid.This game is really going to be a tough games that will continue till extra time .At this point in time,all the teams are very careful of what they are doing,and try not to make any costly mistakes that will cause the teams to loose.But if I am to make my predictions on this game,I think Real Madrid will edge it to the Semi final of the tournament,leaving Pep Guardiola's side devastated,and the moment that happens, Guardiola would want to move to another team.
We don't know that, and you don't know the plans of Pep Guardiola, same way you day he would lose its the same way you'd watch him win, so far he stands and remains the best coach in all of European footbal competition and also in the world. It's a tough test if Manchester City fails to get results while on the road, they'd have enough time for themselves to plan strategize and also anticipate the return of Real Madrid. Real Madrid as far as I'm concerned are shot one with our a natural striker, Manchester City though would be without Kevin De Bruyne, what dies that mean for them? Pep Guardiola has said earlier this season that all he wants is to win the treble again. Don't forget, he already won the Super League Competition against Sevilla at the start of the season. |

Even though they appear as favorites, Liverpool cannot underestimate their opponent, Atalanta. Because Atalanta themselves can do something that can surprise them, so they have to be alert in this match. Atalanta themselves definitely won't want to be beaten so easily by Liverpool, they will try to win, especially when they play as hosts. Atalanta will definitely prepare their best to give Liverpool a fight in this match.
Liverpool themselves will definitely make the best use of this match, with favorite status in their hands, it will make them more confident when playing the match. However, I once reminded them not to try to underestimate their opponent, whoever their opponent will be in the future. Jurgen Klopp himself must be able to divide his focus because Liverpool is also in a very tight competition in the English League, so they must be able to finish their matches one by one, both in the European League and in the English League, because if they lose focus in a match, then that would knock them out.
Good attacking side I must say about Atalanta, bit are they consistent? No! Games they're to take three points back home or win they'd end up drawing which has dragged them downstairs. They should have been amongst the top four clubs in Seria A Competition but they let inconsistency pull them down. Since they're two good attacking sides, they would definitely score plenty goals or one of them clubs would exploit the other club. Most importantly, the best defending club would come out victorious and most likely move to the next round. Jurgen Klopp leaving and he would want to add a second trophy while he leaves. The management of Liverpool should also be careful of who's brought in to handle the club so they don crumble like Manchester United. |

Both of Manchester teams, Arsenal and Liverpool are said to be interested in Rodrygo now. All of these teams have enough money to afford him of course. However when it comes to which one of them Rodrygo would prefer I would say Manchester City.  It can really be the best place for him to maintain his development strongly. He can play as a winger and centre-forward both. As there is Haaland in the middle Rodrygo would be preferred on the wing. Let's say Manchester City didn't want to sign him then the second best option would be Liverpool to be successful. I wouldn't prefer Manchester United or Arsenal if I were him. These are just speculations all for the clicks, they're not as concrete as you think it should be. Manchester United and Manchester City has enough winger's and for for Arsenal? I would say they need a player who can compete with Bukayo Saka also come in whenever he is Injured. The Manchester neighbors are not entertaining such new at the moment. And why would Rodrygo leave Real Madrid when he is having enough game time? On the left wing for Manchester City when they have Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku and lastly Bobb? Knock it off! For Manchester United they have Marcus Rashford and Garnacho and Amad Diallo and Antony. I have said this a dozen times, Alexander Arnold is a lazy player bit a good passer of the ball, Is he the perfect man for Real Madrid to sign up? He is not good defensively. Why end the case of signing Hakimi from Paris Saint Germany? |

Arsenal currently owns a very strong squad and is hungry to win. They have many quality young players, interspersed with experienced players. However, Arsenal still needs to make a lot of effort because it will not be easy to overcome Liverpool and Man City. Arsenal has a great opportunity. They need to focus on their team and try to get the points.
Arsenal will have a great chance to win the Premier League this season if they defeat Man City at Etihad Stadium. It was an important match for both teams. For Arsenal, if they win, they will continue to lead. The 3 points they get will also give them great confidence. That will be a huge psychological boost, helping players feel confident in winning big titles. However, Arteta's teachers and students will be pushed into a worse position if they lose in a confrontation with Man City.
They must have learnt the lessons from them failures last season, I see they also made signatures that are present in the Premier League Competition so they will not struggle to adapt. Mikel Arteta has done well so far, I mist give him his credit. Recently he has also been playing without a number nine, I see this is the strategy used by Pep Guardiola to also win the Premier League Competition during these past years. Gunner's are my favorites and I have backed them up to win the Premier League Competition even from the first day they kicked off the Premier League Competition. Winning against Manchester City would be a green they'd win the Premier League Competition, hopefully it happens that way for them. |

Although Manchester City knocked Madrid out of the Champions League last season, they will certainly try hard enough this season to get their revenge. But I think Real Madrid is strong enough this season to beat Manchester City and I think they will survive in the Champions League. Real Madrid must perform well and play brilliantly if they want to take revenge on Manchester City otherwise it will never be possible. Maybe the team that wins this season between Manchester City and Real Madrid will try hard enough to win the Champions League and win the trophy.
I don’t think there is room for revenge in this confrontation, the strongest wins here. Last season, City was stronger, this could be said before the match, but this time Real approached the quarter-finals in very good shape, however, City is also not behind Real in this. Before the start of their matches, I can say that now they are equal teams, but perhaps later I will change my opinion. There will still be room for revenge because there is no way that Real Madrid would allow Manchester City to win them again. They will like to play with their whole strength to make sure they have a first-leg home win against the Manchester City team that denied them the Champions League trophy last season. Real Madrid meeting Manchester City next month will make it the 13th time both teams will meet against each other in the Champions League matches. Real Madrid has won 4 times out of the meetings while Manchester City has won 5 couple with 3 draws There'll be no time for revenge and all that stuffs, for me personally, let the best side win the game. Too difficult for me to decide but Carlo Ancellotti and his side have no striker and they have been more of a defensive side to a attacking side lately. They have won games but the way they're structured looked awkward. Manchester City and Pep Guardiola seems like the best option to win this game though. I just don't know how for Manchester City players would be of they come back Injured from the international duties. Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Arsenal are also damaging sides who can undo and do. But we shall see how it unfolds. |

We might still see a Liverpool - Ac Milan finals. I'd never be sensible to write them off in European Competitions like this so I'm to shut up my mouth and learn.
This is not about De Rossi and shit, AC Milan would definitely be tue club to knock him out of this Competition. I could say yes they'd have a chance if it was Jose Mourinho but, hell No!
Marseille are also up against Benfica, let's see what they can achieve in between.
We will need to see endings of quarter finals to see will Liverpool and AC Milan still exist in semi finals. If they will participate in semi finals, we can predict a final match between Liverpool and AC Milan that will be another meeting after they met each other in Champions League final many years ago in Istanbul. AC Milan will need to beat Roma first and possibly Leverkusen in semi final. Both opponents are very strong and AC Milan actually have bigger challenge than Liverpool. I believe Liverpool will join the final match but I am not sure about AC Milan as they can beat Roma but how about Leverkusen. AC Milan even have risk to lose against AS Roma in quarter finals. Do you also think they Ac Milan has got what it takes to win the game against As Roma? If it was Jose Mourinho at this point I wouldn't want to argue because he is good when it gets to European Competitions and Football. I feel like they will get the qualifications to the next round only of you monitor how they have improved, they stand a good chance of defeating As Roma regardless of the fact that they're also doing good with Daniel De Rossi. Marseille also has a good play and Per Emerick Aubameyang has been scoring as well assisting bit he can't do all alone. I'm not sure how far they will go either. Bayern Leverkusen are also hot as hell. We shall see what they have to show us this round. |

i am getting mad  i try a big bet * Genoa - Frosinone => Genoa* Torino - Monza => Torino* Bologna - Salernitana => Bologna* Lecce - AS Roma => AS Roma* Inter Milan - Empoli => Inter Milan8.84x I'm glad I've got a touch of madness too LoL. Torino - Monza game would be tough and I won't bank on Torino, I'd say that tjere might be a draw case scenario and they're most likely to share points when thru play this game. Genoa held Juventus down to a full-time draw, I'm afraid this would be another game with a win but a lesser margin of goals against the other. Not certain who would win though. Salernitana would be no match for Bologna to be very honest, this is a game Thiago Motta and his side would come out victorious. They're fighting hard to qualify for the Champions League Competition. Might Lecce -- As Roma game be the next game to draw? Inter Milan already won too much, this game might also be another shocker this very week. |

It's not about the head coaches at all in my opinion. It’s just that United at some point stopped progressing (not only as a team of players, but in general) and was simply overtaken by many competitors. In short, United are behind the times. To stay at the top you need to “run” faster than everyone else, but United were not ready for this, Ronaldo described this in sufficient detail in his interview with Morgan. But this does not change the fact that Ten Hag does not correspond to the level of top clubs and should be sent back to Ajax (along with his "miracle" acquisitions)  If Erik Ten Hag gets to qualify Manchester United fir the Champions League Competition and wins the FA Cup Competition, then all of these flaggings would definitely come to an end. Lol, I believe you must be amongst those who thinks Gareth Southgate would also be a good idea of replacement for Erik Ten Hag. I won't be fazed. At least we all know he'll do well if he goes back to Ajax. But Gareth Southgate to Manchester United when he is not even a good coach for England National Team. Manchester United should rather bring back Michael Carrick to manage the club rather than Southgate. In conclusion, the so called Jim Radcliffe and his team are completely horse shit. I wonder who Sir Alex Ferguson would recommend for the club.  |

looking back at Man United performance last season and comparing it with this season doesn't seem fair.
I mean, last season Man United looked fine because they didn't have any problems which allowed the team to still perform in great style but this season there are several problems that affect Man United performing badly and the first problem is related to bringing in the wrong players and then the number of player injuries at the start and middle of the season.
and on the one hand, another problem is Sancho who has problems with Ten Hag, whereas this player actually has great potential to help Man United improve the quality of performance but management chose to stop Sancho and loan him to another team.
well, from the difference in conditions it is quite clear that currently Man United will not be able to be like last season and even competing with Liverpool is impossible because in terms of depth the quality of Liverpool players is better than Man United and regarding Mbappe I never thought that he would join a team that is experiencing some problems that will not be able to provide any prestigious achievements.
Wrong players? I can say that no wrong player came in. Sofyan Amrabat would be the name to be mentioned but he came into Manchester United only to be found Injured and when he returned he had a good game against West Ham United during the cup game and after that game he flopped. He flopped because the environment was already bad and it affected his game play. Second was playing him as a left back which must have distabilzied him mentally. Take a look at Newcastle United and Eddie Howe, they're not faulting him the way they're currently faulting Erik Ten Hag why? But meanwhile, Erik Ten Hag is having a better season than him. Club legends like Gary Neville and those who linked with the move for Southgate are all daft. They will learn the hard way when Manchester United gets relegated. Erik Ten Hag is not the problem, he should be backed up for next season. But will that be possible? |

I think Xabi Alonso will leave Bayer Leverkusen for a better club that is for sure. But I don’t think he is ready for a big premier league club like Liverpool. The expectations are high, the media and the fans are ruthless. If you don’t manage to perform, you will be sacked immediately. Even the biggest of the coaches like Jose Mourinho, Mauricio Pochettino have struggled there. So it is not an easy job. Xabi is still a young coach. His experiences are not that much. But the way he has managed Bayer Leverkusen, we can say that he has the capability.
That is why I think he should join Bayern Munich first because it is a relatively easier club to manage than Bayern Munich, then if he becomes successful after gathering experience, he can move for premier league clubs or other big clubs like Real Madrid.
Remove Mauricio Pochetino from the list of good coaches, he is not amongst the tested, approved and trusted managers in the Premier League Competition. He has to show working before he came be leveled up to that position. He would be a great manager for Liverpool, but the will need to have a continuous process from whatever Jurgen Klopp has done for Liverpool within the last nine years. Rejecting Bayern Munich wouldn't be wise decision, at least they'd back him and he'd also improve the squad for another five years or six. Talks of Bayern Leverkusen saying they'd block his movement to that club don't fazed me in the slightest way. Most importantly, I cannot wait for Bayern Leverkusen to be crowned winners of this years Bundesliga League Competition. They have fought a good fight and has also come a long way. |

Milan have done a really good job by taking advantage of Juventus' bad form recently. They are at the second position now after this. I find their productivity quite decent this season compared to their nearest opponents like Juventus and Bologna. The main problem is more related to Milan's defending. They have conceded 33 goals in 29 games.  They can actually solve this problem by transferring better defenders this summer. They spent 100 million+ euros in total for transfers last summer if I'm not wrong. They should focus on their defense line more next time they make transfers. If they conceded much less goals than this now they could have been in the title race. During the weeks they played the Champions League Competition, they was totally lost as if they have never played football during the group stage of the UEFA Champion's League Competition. Amongst them, I've seen players from Chelsea who moved down that ends improving. Both Oliver Giroud, Christan Pulisic and lastly Loftus Cheek all have improved from the way they do play when they was with Chelsea. Made the pressure too much was highly on Pioli and he needed to fail to get some valuable lessons. They shouldn't look at just the defenders. The defensive midfielder role is also important as they would be able to shield up the defenders all through the gane and more. Juventus will definitely come to mutual agreement with Max Allegri so they could terminate his contact. |

I think Arsenal and Bayern Munich are in the same situation right now despite the position of Arsenal in the EPL, Arsenal is fighting to stay ahead of Manchester City and Liverpool so they can win the league while they are also hoping to get ahead of Bayern Munich to be in the semi while Bayern Munich on the other hand is fighting to see if they can close the gap between them and league leaders Bayer Leverkusen which is currently ahead of them with 10 points, it may appear that all hope is lost for Bayern Munich in the league but they can't give up now until the season is over who knows if Leverkusen will lose 4 matches in the last remaining games and Bayern Munich will catch up with them so they are in similar situations with Arsenal.
They're not in no same situation, Gunner's are bottlers and even at the top of the Premier League, one would still have some levels of doubt about them possibilities of winning the Premier League Competition. As for Bayern Munich, it'll be hell difficult for them to catch-up on Bayern Leverkusen. They're currently on another level and should not lose form even if they lose the next two games. Rest assured it's gonna be the first trophy to be won by Xabi Alonso. Arsenal though are still my favorites to win the Premier League Competition. I've also read how they want to sign Alexander Isaak from Newcastle United and I do think it's a great idea and better option than Victor Oshime for now |

 Would José Mourinho be in the category of 'crazy ideas' for Bayern?
Director Max Eberl: "Of course we're also looking into coaches who are currently available.
Jose learning German? I don't know!”, told BILD. Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1770368178608030100This looks really interesting. Where I thought they were going to target Xabi Alonso to be the new coach of Bayern Munich, now it suddenly seems like there is a chance for Jose Mourinho to be the new coach. But of course, this is just a teaser or something like that. I do not think anything has been decided yet. However, I have to say I like the idea. Many times we have seen him do well with good squads, right? So if somehow Alonso is unavailable or they are unable to get Alonso I think Jose Mourinho is going to be a great option for them. No doubts about the interesting part of it, Jose Mourinho is a big name when you come to European Competitions and Football. But, will he be offered the job to be the next manager of Bayern Munich? I don't think so. If I was the management I won't because Jose Mourinho is too much of a defensive structured manager and his plans wouldn't align with that of the management and the club. Most likely to mount that job would be both Xabi Alonso and Antonio Conte. I've read opinions of how Antonio Conte would be the most ideal replacement for Thomas Tuchel ahead of the next season. I would love that honestly. Maybe a chance to work back with Harry Kane. Harry Kane should be his underground agent itching to see him join Bayern Munich. Most likely they'd also lose core members of the squad over the years ( Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies ) |

Alphonso Davies will most likely choose Real Madrid. Bayern is putting pressure on the Canadian to renew his contract, but the full-back seems determined to change the scene and hopes for an agreement between the clubs for next summer.
He finally decides to join Real Madrid and would wait for the both sides to come to full conclusion and agreement but he has no issues with whatever Real Madrid has offered to him. It will be a game of pace for Real Madrid, La Liga Competition defenders should be ready to foul players like Alphonso Davies and also Kylian Mbappe who are both speed stars. He will not renew his contract. For me, he has won it all, it is a good time to rest life elsewhere and not in Bayern Munich forever. He will go on to even win the La Liga Competition and also the Champions League Competition. Both Thomas Tuchel and Joshua Kimmich are names most likely to leave. Kimmich so stubborn he has refused to accept contract terms with Munich. |

I am particularly unhappy with the way Juventus and Napoli are playing in Serie A. These are two clubs that I had high hopes for. Regarding Napoli, I am even more disappointed because they haven't even managed to secure the fourth, fifth, or even sixth position, they are below my expectations.
As for Juventus, they currently hold the third position. While one wouldn't criticize them too harshly since they have tried to compensate for some of their shortcomings with some wins, scoring six goals in a match still demonstrates some level of control in their victories.
So, for that reason alone, I would credit them for their performance. However, Napoli has failed miserably. With their current position, they won't even qualify for the Champions League next season, which is quite poor in terms of competition.
Clubs go through hard times and this has to be the current status of them both clubs. Most disappointing for me is Napoli, because they have been so stubborn. They have brought in the third manager this season and yet they're still staggering, it'll definitely lead to some of them best players been sold out completely. They have got to be the worst defending Champions as they are far away from even catching up with Inter Milan who's currently on another level. The Old Ladies have not been consistent and that's all I need from them. Imagine after all the hardwork and discipline, they have just lost themselves or place to Ac Milan who would definitely get stucked there until the season comes to an end. I'm also sure of Max Allegri being sacked. |

You are right, Real Madrid and Manchester City are the two favorites in the Champions League this season, but unfortunately they had to meet too soon in the quarter-finals. I was basically expecting Manchester City to play Real Madrid in the semi-finals, but that never really came true.
Real Madrid has home advantage in the first leg, while Manchester City will have it in the second leg. Manchester City already have experience beating Real Madrid, but they will never be able to do the same thing every season if Ancelotti has learned enough from his mistakes last season. I would certainly expect the opposite, I mean Manchester City must can beat Real Madrid in the quarter-finals this season.
Likewise, but it's time to see one of them show strength so they could advance to the next level of the tournament in the Champions League Competition. Come rain come sun, I'd go for Real Madrid to go through and if they fail me? Fine then. But for this fixture? Manchester City should return and play the Premier League Competition. Had anyone also noticed Pep Guardiola and Kevin De Bruyne quarreling? I mean right on the pitch. What could that mean and be? Most worried about Real Madrid and them plays because these days, they're being too much of a defensive structure. Can they use that to defeat Manchester City? Let's also see if Antonio Rudiger will hold down Erling Haaland in that game yet again. |

With Aston performance declining, many predict that they will most likely be knocked out of the top 4 by Tottenham.
But if we compare the match schedule between Aston and Tottenham until the end of this season, Aston chances are actually slightly better to stay in the top 4 than Tottenham.
Most likely Aston will fail to get 3 points in the following matches:
Mancity vs Aston
Arsenal vs Aston
Aston vs Chelsea
Aston vs Liverpool
And for Tottenham:
Chelsea vs Tottenham
Tottenham vs Mancity
Newcastle vs Tottenham
Tottenham vs Arsenal
Liverpool vs Tottenham
This looks like a good chance for Manchester United to go ahead of them both at most Aston Villa. Not so sure about the games against Chelsea and Arsenal but Arsenal would thrive as they're hoping and fighting to win the Premier League Competition. I love the signatures done but Arsenal, players who has the experience of the Premier League and knows every team very, these are the reason why they have come this far on the Premier League Competition. Players like Declan Rice, Trosadd and David Raya. Tottenham Hotspur also might also get three points against Newcastle, they're the only weak club for them. No matter how Chelsea is poor in form, immediately they see Tottenham Hotspur, they'd have no other option but to play like they've been drugged. Manchester United better makes good use of this very chance to win something huge. |

Absolutely 100% true!
United were a graveyard of talent and when undertaker Ten Hag arrived it only got worse. Only Casemiro or a similar player who has already won everything he could (5 Champions Leagues like Casemiro) and is now looking only for a fat contract can go to United in a clear mind.
Everyone has already seen that United is a swamp, so it will be extremely difficult to lure any promising player there (not to mention top players).
But did Manchester United do well last season? You're absolutely wrong about Erik Ten Hag. So far as I could tell, he is a much better coach tactically than Ole Gunner Solskjaer, David Moyes, but Maybe not Jose Mourinho and Louis Van Gaal. But Manchester United has sacked too many coaches already from the past, isn't it time for them to give a good coach a chance with better experience players? Nothing swampy about Manchester United. The team and squad started with lots of Injury and it affected the plans of Erik Ten Hag. But then even if Erik Ten Hag is to be sacked, is Gareth Southgate a good option for replacement? These new owners must be raving mad one way or the other. I blame the glazers otherwise, we won't be seeing talks like this. How can Gareth Southgate manage Manchester United?? Lol |

Liverpool were knocked out of the FA CUP two days ago, and were eliminated by Manchester United, who are only 6th in the Premier League and are distant from their good times
This makes me think that Liverpool are not as unbeatable as we thought
We've already commented here that the final would be Liverpool vs Leverkusen, and the English team's defeat could be a warning sign that the team could struggle in an important game. Perhaps Atalanta will be able to see what worked for Manchester and try to get a good result in a few days
In any case, I think I see Leverkusen as more likely to win the title than Liverpool right now, and you guys? Am I right or Liverpool didn't care so much about FA Cup?
It gets worse before it gets better, all they need do is work on the club and sell of lads not worthy of the badge and club ( Manchester United ) Liverpool did well though but Klopps decisions backfired him as they couldn't keep up with Manchester United. Poor defense from Liverpool was also seen. We might still see a Liverpool - Ac Milan finals. I'd never be sensible to write them off in European Competitions like this so I'm to shut up my mouth and learn. This is not about De Rossi and shit, AC Milan would definitely be tue club to knock him out of this Competition. I could say yes they'd have a chance if it was Jose Mourinho but, hell No! Marseille are also up against Benfica, let's see what they can achieve in between. |

You really watched the match with an unbiased mentality. I an a Chelsea fan, but after the match I applauded the Manchester united team for their resilience. Who would've ever Imagined that they could tame the beasts in the Liverpool squad in120 mins. I couldn't believe my eyes. Mainoo was extremely extraordinary in that match.
Next discuss are really entertaining with Manchester city meeting with Chelsea for the semi finals. That match will really be a though one considering the fact that Chelsea plays really well against Manchester city. I would really want the finals to be man u vs Chelsea.
Correctly Said. People have them own opinion, I no longer have that energy to correct this and that, I don't know how on earth they sit down to watch and analyse football. No matter my love for a player or club, I always state facts at all times and if I'm to be biased in the slightest way, I'd also say this and that too. Manchester United players earned it and even Marcus Rashford who hasn't been running this season did a great job. He should have won the game for Manchester United anyway he had his chances and blew it away. Kobbie is a generational talent, that game has also seen him gaining bis first England call up to the national team. Congratulations to him, he has worked really hard, Manchester United should ensure a proper defensive midfielder is signed up to play bedside him. For Chelsea Manchester City game, we all shouldn't forget that Chelsea this season has been bloody. Manchester City has always found it difficult to win as they've come from behind during the both fixtures to salvage themselves a point from the game. Would be nice though but let's see how it goes. |
