In this weekend Bundesliga match will begin after break out of new year almost three weeks, have good news with Dortmund success get back their best player Jadon Sancho from Manchester United with loan until June without have buy permanent when loan period expiry. Has chance with Jadon Sancho will make his debut again in Bundesliga on this weekend when Dortmund have away match against Darmstadt.

Since absent last five months with manchester united after internal conflict with Erik ten Hag, I think Jadon Sancho need time adapt well with Dortmund and return back his top level performance, its not easy for Jadon Sancho have absent for long term and he need few days left before first Dortmund match after break out. But Dortmund manager's Edin Terzic not confirmed yet he will give debut for Jadon Sancho upcoming match or Sancho need time waiting for his first match.

I personally believe that Jadon Sancho will get a place in Dortmund main squad because yes, considering Dortmund position in the Bundesliga standings, of course Dortmund still have to make greater efforts to return to the top four. Because, for example, if Jadon Sancho is benched again then ya, it will be difficult for Jadon Sancho to get his best performance. Therefore, because basically Jadon Sancho previously played at Dortmund then ya, of course Jadon Sancho will get an easy in adapting quickly too. Thus, I think there is no good reason if Jadon Sancho is only placed on the bench, unless, for example, Jadon Sancho is proven to have experienced a serious decline in performance then yes, it is natural that Jadon Sancho is only on the bench. But for this moment, I sure Jadon Sancho will get a place in the starting eleven for the match against Darmstadt later.

When you look at Real Madrid and Atletico, there's no question that they are better. It was truly amazing to watch them overcome a 3–3 draw to score two more goals against Atletico in extra time. They are unique because of their tenacity and aptitude. I agree with you now that Real Madrid appears to be stronger whether they play Barcelona or Osasuna in the final. However, it's important to keep in mind that football can be unpredictable. Underdogs can shock us, and even the strongest teams can have bad games. Real's steady play this season has helped to even the odds, though. Seeing if they can play at this caliber in the championship will be fascinating
Football is unpredictable, but a team that plays consistently like Madrid has many advantages and is very favored to win the trophy. Whoever their opponents are in the final, I think Madrid will win. I bet on Madrid winning in the final. There is no doubt for me. They appeared very consistent and very disciplined in their game. Their gameplay in the semifinals showed that they really deserved to be champions. Unless the goddess Fortune is not with them. Or there are several key players who are injured. If there were no problems in the final it is hard to imagine they would lose. I really can't find a weakness for Real Madrid this season.

Although soccer is not easy to predict but yes, at least there is no harm if we try our luck with money that is ready to lose. But regarding Real Madrid, basically this season Real Madrid is still the best team in Spain so yes, whether Real Madrid playing in La Liga or just playing in the Super Cup and also in the Copa del Rey but ya, at least this season Real Madrid has a good chance of winning. Because yes, I only make a measure of quality from their position in the La Liga standings and therefore, I personally will not doubt the quality of Real Madrid still good if just play in the domestic league.

Haha, if wishes were horses, it would be a walk in the park for Frosinone. not to disappoint you, i can see a JUventus victory ahead with atleast 3 unreplied goals from the Turin boys as they progress to the semfinal of the coppa italia to face Lazio!
Frosinone is an easy opponent for Juventus to defeat, moreover the match takes place at home to Juventus which will not make Juventus experience heavier pressure. Juventus will consider this match as a serious thing because they will target themselves to be the best in Coppa Italia this season and besides that Lazio is also not a barrier for Juventus to reach the final because so far Juventus still look quite impressive in the face of every match.
I agree with you, Sassuolo will be an easy match for Juventus when they meet on Tuesday night. If Inter Milan should drop points against Monza on Saturday it will boost the morale of Juventus players to win Sassuolo and enter the top of Serie table.


it will certainly be an easy match for Juventus, beating Frosinone, even if galvanized by the recent victory against Napoli
I honestly don't like the Italian Cup, unfortunately I don't watch it.
I don't think it's interesting.


Yes indeed, the Coppa Italia does not have high tension so any team that competes still does not have many enthusiasts. But regarding the match between Juventus v Frosinone today, even though Juventus is the favored team but yes, because in the Coppa Italia does not have high tension then I believe there will not be many goals in this match. After all, if for example Juventus win in this match, I still think the final score is thin maybe about like only having a one-goal gap. Because yes, at least Frosinone also cannot be underestimated at all, because in Serie A matches, in fact Frosinone is still able to provide good resistance when playing against Juventus. Therefore, I believe it is still not easy for Juventus to win in this match, because in reality Frosinone is not weak at all.

I don't think it was a big surprise for Liverpool to win, it was quite deserved regardless of how they achieved it and whatever happened in the match because the most important thing is the final result.
The point is that the final result of last night's match was that Liverpool put up less than complete resistance even though their main target was to win the Premier League this season, even though this match was not really expected by Liverpool, at least the two clubs were able to provide an exciting spectacle for all their respective supporters. .

It doesn't matter about Liverpool's target in the Premier League because after all, if there is still a good chance of winning in other matches such as the Carabao Cup match against Fulham then yes, of course Liverpool will still make good efforts too. After all, even though Liverpool is placing high focus on the Premier League, it certainly doesn't make Liverpool weak in other competitions. Because as the team at the top of the Premier League standings, of course Liverpool will also continue to play well and maximize the opportunities they have in every match they play in all competitions.

Real Madrid is still a player to play as a sticker for them and because of not having this player Real Madrid is not in a good situation. It seems Real Marid is still interested in hiring Mbappe or some other player but at the same time, they don't have to lose their prestige for a player and make people think they will wait for an even for hiring this player.
However, I think Real Madrid can also focus on their younger player and ignore Mbappe forever.
well, this is what I hope that Real Madrid will have to do other alternatives to be able to create a strong striker, even though they will ignore Mbappe, but at least they have got another option.
for example, failing to recruit Mbappe and preferring to develop the talents of the young players they have, such as Bellingham, who for me is still young, and several other young players.
I really understand that Real Madrid will not be able to achieve good results without a striker and I think that it should not be too focused on Mbappe but most importantly a pure striker player who can make the best contribution to winning the UCL title.

If you are aware of the current Real Madrid squad, in reality Real Madrid already has a young squad and in fact, only a few players are over 30 years old and among them only Kroos and Modric and also they contracts will expire at the end of this season . Therefore, basically Real Madrid has succeeded in maximizing its young squad for the long term of Real Madrid too, of course. So ya, it doesn't matter if Real Madrid is still targeting Mbappe because after all, having lots of high potential players in the squad is also a good way. Because after all, Real Madrid is used to having many star players in its squad, so it is not surprising that Real Madrid is still rumored to still want Mbappe in its squad.

If you have heard the rumours about Mbappe and Real Madrid to have reached an agreement have strengthened recently. This must be really worrying news for PSG as they can't do anything against it because of Real Madrid's being able to sign a contract with him directly. The only thing here is that it would cost Real Madrid and Mbappe quite much to bring him to the team in January already.

As a result if there is really a development like this between two sides then I'm really happy for Mbappe. Because I believe PSG is just not the right place for him to get bigger achievements such as the Champions League championship.  Sad

Indeed, PSG is not the right team for Mbappe because yes, basically Mbappe deserves to play at Real Madrid because at Real Madrid certainly has a guarantee to get a lot of achievements and trophies . But even though Mbappe is always linked to leaving for Real Madrid, the reality is that nothing is really certain. Because after all, PSG who always try to keep Mbappe also always succeed because yes, at the same time the reality is that Mbappe also does not have a strong choice whether to stay or will really leave. Because yes, at a young age, Mbappe can be satisfied only with the expensive salary he gets at PSG, so the drama about Mbappe leaving will continue to occur.

I actually want to see a new champion in the Bundesliga. The competition has been so one-sided for a very long time that it has actually become boring. But this season Bayer Leverkusen have actually been able to throw some life back into this competition. Next time it seems like a new champion might be possible. But of course, nothing is certain. Anything can still happen and for Leverkusen to be able to win the Bundesliga title, they will have to be consistent throughout the whole season. I would not even mind if they did not do well in the Europa League competition. I want them to win the Bundesliga title.
Everyone does, it is really not something that we could change at any given moment and it should not be all that simple, we are going to face some changes without a doubt.

However, I believe that it is going to be a tough one, and we are going to end up with something that should be a little bit crazy, it should definitely be considered a little bit of miracle to happen for them to lose it and that is why it is going to be a tough one. I get that it is not going to be all that confusing or tough to deal with, we just need to make sure that Bundesliga has some other good team and none of the other teams are that good at the moment, they are not really doing all that crazy. Which is why I expect it to be not that easy to handle.

Yes indeed, I also hope that the Bundesliga will have a new title winner and ya, this season Bayer Leverkusen has the opportunity to win the Bundesliga trophy. Although indeed, anything can still happen and also, in reality, Bayern Munich is still able to create a close points gap with Bayer Leverkusen in the top standings. Therefore, of course Bayern Munich is also ready to take over the top position in the Bundesliga standings at any time. But what will be a regret if Bayern Munich fails to win a trophy is about Kane, because Kane wants to get a trophy but in this season or his first season in Bundesliga, in reality Bayern Munich has a surprise strong rival team and that is Bayer Leverkusen.

The Madrid derby has always been a very tough match and both teams never fail to give us a spectacular performance, but this season I have a feeling that there would be some different because Atletico Madrid is currently not in the form that would make make for an exciting match so is real Madrid, the galaticos are bearing winning this days, they would have to struggle hard before they can win lower side teams.

But the odds available in this match are very interesting for me, because Real Madrid still get odds around @2.xx and also, for the option To Qualify also still get quite good odds around @1.6x and so does the Draw No Bet option. I think, with odds like this, it certainly becomes very interesting to keep choosing Real Madrid, because even though Real Madrid is projected to win but at least Real Madrid still gets good odds in the betting options available now. But in terms of Real Madrid's performance at the moment then yes, I think it's clear that Real Madrid still has a good performance and trend so I don't doubt it.

the Salerno team conceded 6 goals, it was easy for it to happen, the team is really in shape, watch out for Juventus for this championship
Conceding more goals for a weak team like Salernitana is quite normal if the opponent itself is a team that is quite strong and not balanced in terms of strength. Today in the Coppa Italia there are two matches which might be quite good because the teams playing them are not so bad in Serie A, they are AC Milan vs Atalanta and Lazio vs Roma. So today Italian League fans can enjoy these two matches because they are played at different times.

The match between Lazio v AS Roma has entered the last minute and the score is still 1-0 Lazio leading, and I believe this score will also be the final score for this match . Because anyway, it looks like AS Roma is having a deadlock this match because yes, even though AS Roma has ball possession but in fact AS Roma still fails to make a goal . But for the next match between Milan v Atalanta, I expect there to be many goals in this match, at least both teams to score is a good result too. Considering Milan and Atalanta have good aggressiveness, so it is very natural for both teams to score in this match.

Chelsea will not be this kind again, they didn't really consider this as a possibility so they didn't care and yes it's true that they are not great this year but they are not this bad and have what it takes to beat them.

So next game, at home, they will play their best and I bet that they are going to end up with a win, an easy one at that. I am guessing that something like a 3 or even 4 goals is possible for Chelsea, I am not going to just bet on Chelsea to win, I will bet on them to win but also I will bet on 2.5+ over as well, that should be the key to the game, they are not going to just score 2 and stop, they will probably score at least 3 goals. This should be a good day for betting. There is some time left though, we gonna need to wait.

Playing at home against Fulham of course, is a good chance for Chelsea to get three points in this home match. Although indeed, Chelsea and Fulham only have a gap of 4 points in the Premier League standings now, but that does not mean Fulham are able to beat Chelsea . Because after all, in their first meeting this season when Chelsea played away, but in fact Chelsea still managed to beat Fulham with a score of 0-2. But ya, even so, I personally don't want to exaggerate Chelsea, because even though Chelsea can promise win in this match, but I think it's still not easy at all because Fulham is also not completely weak.

You said something right, friend, that UEL is not like CL which is easy to predict because it is occupied by big clubs and popular players which makes it easier for us to predict the final result.
But in the UEL it is very difficult because usually there are many clubs that are a little inconsistent in the domestic league points table but surprisingly can win the title in the UEL as you said and maybe right now the only ones who look strong are Leverkusen and Liverpool but just look and see there will definitely be surprises that will happen and I really believe that one of the strongest popular clubs in UEL will experience problems and the club's performance will decline.
I think having strong clubs like Liverpool and Leverkusen in the UEL will make every match interesting to watch. Liverpool is the current leader of the English league standings as well as Leverkusen who are unbeaten in the Bundesliga. Seeing these two teams compete with several teams that are not favored will make each match very interesting to watch. For me, seeing a team that is not seeded is able to at least provide resistance is something interesting, because they all play in UEL. This is the same as when you see big teams competing against each other in the UCL.

If you think the Champions League is easier to predict, then please bet big money on the team that wins the title this season. Do you dare to do it, because you said that predicting the trophy-winning team in the Champions League is easy. Because after all, for me there is nothing easy at all to predict exact results and it will only be correct if you have a good luck factor. After all, if you believe the Europa League has lots of surprises, then please consider mediocre teams to win the Europa League trophy this season. After all, previous seasons in the Europa League did not have teams that had high consistency as happened at this moment regarding Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, so surprises occurred in previous seasons in the Europa League. But for this season, I think it is not right if we expect a surprise from the dark horse teams.

Mbappe is not a player who typically has a leadership spirit, and he is still very young, I think he is still not worthy to lead Real Madrid's troops in the title race.
In fact, Real Madrid is a top team and they are nicknamed the kings of the Champions League and a team like Real Madrid has a high enough mentality so this is beneficial for them when they are in critical situations or high-tension matches.

And for Mbappe, it seems he is the one who needs the Real Madrid team to win the title and improve his performance and individual achievements.
The Frenchman will not relaxed because there's still presence of enough work to be put together, he's having one of the long run in his football career. The earlier we're able to understand that Kylian Mbappe won't be leaving PSG anytime soon, the better for those that are doubting this move. Mbappe have the leadership spirit in both club and country level football. Real Madrid are interested in the player, but it's a different motives that follows because PSG will not allow their keyman exits the club not when they're depending on him for good results. By the way, elite clubs are interested in Kylian Mbappe because he's promising talented player for his club side.

It seems, because Mbappe is still playing in his home country and also, there is an elite team like PSG that is able to pay Mbappe dearly and ya, with these factors it is very possible for Mbappe to be difficult to leave . Because ya, anyway, if for example Mbappe does not feel comfortable to stay at PSG then ya, eventhough PSG pays dearly but at least Mbappe still dares to leave . But what has happened sofar,the fact is that Mbappe can still be maintained by PSG only by increasing thesalary and also getting other privileges provided by PSG for Mbappe . Therefore,I personally believe Mbappe will still be willing to play at PSG and thus, it will be difficult for Mbappe to improve his individual achievements because he is not playing in the right team.

PSG have sold enough players this season that they only signed Dembele from Barcelona. There were many other star players including Messi Neymar in PSG but in the new season we don't see any star player except Mbappe in this club. Last season PSG released defenders, released strikers but did not buy any players, maybe they will look to enrich their squad in the next transfer window. If the team plans for the next season, they will certainly give the utmost importance to every position from the team's defense to the strike.
The truth is that having that too much players was not doing PSG much good because one of the things I noticed about PSG that time when they have Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos, Mbappe and so many other player, was that it affected the performance of PSG because it was as if there was no much understanding between those players and that was the reason why they were having issues wining matches because of there over squad, if you watch PSG in those days you will observe what I'm saying but since they sold almost all those players that was when PSG were able to come back to there normal performance, so perhaps PSG doesn't need too much players but what they just need is few players that can add to there improvement.

I wonder why PSG can't get good results like Real Madrid. Because after all, Real Madrid also has many star players in its squad but yes, Real Madrid still managed to get good results . In the past, the Real Madrid squad was entirely stars such as Raul, Kaka, Figo, Carlos, Zidane and many more but not only limited to that. Because ya, after all, Real Madrid is at least still a destination for star players until now but ya, Real Madrid still consistently gets good results also in the Champion League. Therefore, it looks like PSG certainly still has to take a long time to build a star squad and get success like Real Madrid . Because after all, basically PSG has good finances and of course PSG is able to bring in star players but unfortunately, so far PSG is still not successful enough, especially in the Champions League.

2021 Jadon Sancho was sold from Dortmund to Manchester United for 85 million euros. Since then, he has not performed as well as he used to at Dortmund. Now both clubs have agreed that Sancho will return to Dortmund for the next 6 months. The medical check still has to be done. Let see if he can regain his old form. He played his last game at Manchester United at the end of August. Dortmund has no option in the contract to buy him after the 6 months.
Jadon Sancho makes u-turn to Borussia Dortmund, he haven't enjoyed any moments in Manchester United, he didn't get his flowers and critical differences with the coach. Borrusia Dortmund generate profits from the sales of their important players, inturn these players are the necessary players that are obligated to help the club and raised them to good levels in football. Big loss on Manchester United end, they're unable to make good use of the English man and we would wait and see him play in Dortmund jersey, he got the fire inside him.

Lol, even this season Jadon Sancho only played in Manchester United first three matches and after that, Jadon Sancho not available in the Manchester United squad. It's very funny to me, because even though the player is an expensive transfer, but in reality Manchester United seems to easily ignore this player. Therefore, with Jadon Sancho returning to Dortmund then yes, I hope it will be a regret for Manchester United because they failed to maximize the great potential that Jadon Sancho has. Moreover, at this moment Dortmund is also in a bad trend because it is still outside the top four in the Bundesliga standings. So yes, I hope Jadon Sancho can really restore Dortmund in the second half of this season and yes, I hope Jadon Sancho succeeds in returning Dortmund to the top four of course.

For now we can only speculate that it is very likely that Real Madrid will still be able to beat Atletico Madrid and I am very sure of that because currently Real Madrid is in a very strong condition even without Vinicius but currently Bellingham can be relied on to help maintain Real's achievements. Madrid.
Actually is a tough match to predict but I have a strong feeling that real Madrid will surely win Atletico Madrid because so long as this season is concerned real Madrid has more edge over Atletico Madrid in times of there performance and even on there table the points difference between real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is too much because it was base on the performance of real Madrid that made them secure the first position they are in right now, so there is no way they cannot win Atletico Madrid, however if you check most of the clubs that won Atletico Madrid this season and how those clubs perform on there match against real Madrid you will see that real Madrid is better than Atletico Madrid.

Madrid and Atletico will meet several times in the near future meetings in La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup, and Copa del Rey. Atletico's performance is not as good as Madrid's this season. but Madrid also sometimes has some problems. when they faced Sevilla they were held to a draw, likewise, when they faced Rayo they got a draw. Even the last result of Atletico's meeting, Madrid lost 3-1.
The situation is confusing, but this is an interesting match for us to bet on.

In the La Liga matches this season, the fact is that Real Madrid suffered one defeat and yes, Real Madrid defeat this season was happen against Atletico. But of course, because in this match they will play in the Super Cup and in the next match they will play at the Copa del Rey then yes, I personally am very confident that Real Madrid will still win in events like this. Not only that, because of course Real Madrid also has a revenge mission because of the big 3-1 defeat in their last meeting. Therefore, although this big match is quite difficult to predict because sometimes Real Madrid also has the opportunity to fail. But yes, because there is a revenge mission and also playing in a Super Cup like this, then I have no doubt to keep going with Real Madrid.

Napoli does have a lot of problems this season, and so far there has not been any assessment for Mazzari because he is still too new to handle the team and also when Mazzari arrived in the middle of an ongoing competition of course Mazzari needed time to adapt, I think there is no need to be careless anymore For the Napoli team to change coaches because that is not a good thing, it is actually a big gamble.

time is running out, while the league is getting tight. Mazzari cannot stay with the team in this condition for any longer. If his current squad does not match his criteria or cannot be integrated with his strategy, then the winter transfer market is the only opportunity for him to improve the team or change everything. If Napoli can't improve on this opportunity, I feel that Napoli will end up not qualifying for the UEL or UCL.

It seems, if Napoli keep Mazzarri until the end of the season then ya, there seems to be no good chance for Napoli to be able to improve its position in the Serie A standings. Although indeed, in the past Mazzarri had a good history in becoming head coach for Napoli. But ya, of course the past and in this era at least have different match tensions and of course different styles of play too. So yes, it doesn't seem right if Napoli expect a lot with Mazzarri to repeat his success like in the past. Because anyway, Mazzarri is also not used to handling other elite teams out there, so basically Napoli still needs the right coach to restore Napoli quality and performance.

This coach has consistently underperformed, showing no desire to win and always comfortable with losses. Pochettino has failed to bring improvement to Chelsea, and the team appears to be getting worse under his management. It's evident that the current project is destined for failure under him. Chelsea needs to change its system to progress, or else they will continue to struggle.
Today they lost to Middlesbrough in the EFL. But this is only leg 1. There is still a chance to qualify in Leg 2. If you look at the statistics Chelsea is very dominant, they made 18 attempts 5 on target. They had the ball dominantly. Middlesbrough only utilized counter attacks. But Middlesbrough were more effective. I think Pochettino is not too bad. Chelsea is currently in transition. It is not done in a short time. But today they made their 6th appearance with Pochettino without being able to score a goal.

Chelsea players dominated this match. But they can't win. Despite many attacks, Chelsea players could not score a single goal. Chelsea players have 72% ball possession. We saw Chelsea players dominate the whole match. Middlesbrough, on the other hand, were completely defensive after conceding a goal in the first half. Chelsea completely failed to break down Middlesbrough's defence. It cannot be said for sure whether Chelsea will win the home match of the second leg. Chelsea's performance is very erratic right now.

The reason is, in the Championship standings the fact is that Middlesbrough is also only in 12th position with 36 points. Comparing with Chelsea position in the Premier League standings is in 10th place even though Chelsea also only has 28 points but ya, at least playing in the Premier League is clearly more difficult. Therefore, Chelsea should still be able to win in this EFL Cup match against Middlesbrough. Although Chelsea still failed to do so, but because Chelsea has very good statistics in this match then ya, of course Chelsea should be able to avoid defeat by ending the match with a draw. So ya, with a defeat in a match like this it is certainly a disappointment and it looks like Chelsea must move to find a new coach.

I don't think that Villarreal will do a similar work to Sevilla in the Europa League while doing bad in the La Liga at the same time. First of all Villarreal's group was too easy for them. We haven't seen them playing against one of the strong teams in the tournament yet. As a result I can't give them much credit until seeing them play more challenging matches.

Let's say they faced one of the teams like Liverpool, Leverkusen or Roma and eliminated it as well then I would start respecting Villarreal's chance for the title more. By the way I respect their great effort in the 2020/2021 season which resulted in their winning the title. But they were managed by Emery then and they were doing good everywhere. Now I'm not so sure.  Sad

I think, Sevilla success last season means that at least Sevilla has a good history in the Europa League and as such, it is at least reasonable that last season Sevilla could still succeed in getting the Europa League trophy. But regarding Villarreal, the reality is that Villarreal doesn't have good results in La Liga from season to season and also, in the Europa League the reality is that Villarreal doesn't have as good a history as Sevilla. Therefore, I think there is no good reason to make Villarreal favorites to win the title this season because ya, I think it is clear that only Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the best teams this season in the Europa League.

One thing I have to say is that I hope Manchester City will be able to find good players to replace the players that they have right now. Because we have seen how important the players are for the club. The performance dropped significantly as soon as they got injured. And as soon as they came back from injury, I would not say that the performance has skyrocketed but currently has improved. With KDB that Manchester City squad looks very frightening again. And I think it is just a matter of time before they are able to perform as well as they were doing again.

Manchester City have stand out to be a very tough team in Europe, all thanks to Guardiola for breeding such a talented team like this. I have to say that the injury of few of their players affected them and their performance reduced drastically. This shows that their back up plans are not as reliable as the first team players, they need to look for other means, like buying new players or start grooming young players that will take over from this ones when they’re leaving of they’ve of age that they can’t perform well again. Manchester City now have their players back, I expect them to be fully back in action for both the premier league and the champions league.

Apart from that, I also worried about Guardiola no longer has the big ambitions he had previously because ya, Guardiola already succeeded in bringing Manchester City to all the trophies available . Therefore, it seems possible that in the future Guardiola will also leave and thus, it looks like Manchester City maybe find it difficult to get the right coach in the future if for example Guardiola really leaves . Indeed, the main priority is also about a good squad to get good results too, but if they don't have the right coach to build the team, at least they will still find it difficult to get the same success later as now.

But now I wonder whether it is guaranteed and had to be signed and promised by both clubs that Ronaldo and Messi are available for the game. I remember that there have been some friendlies in the past and it was promised that Messi is going to play and then he didn't despite contractual obligations. But of course they could just claim he is injured and that's all. So do you guys think that Messi will really play that game? I think it would be nice although it is nothing like the El Clasico used to be of course. But still it will draw a lot of attention to that game as people want to see how the two superstars behave towards each other. Ronaldo made some posts about Messi recently. The last time was when he won the Ballon d'Or.
There is a possibility that it will happen again, the reasons for injuries and other activities sound reasonable, there is no guarantee that this friendly match can bring Ronaldo and Messi together. of course, from the perspective of fans of the two mega stars, they hope to see the two of them compete again with their skills, this friendly match really attracts the attention of fans. In my opinion, the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi has finished after they both left europe, and now they are each enjoying the rest of their careers before deciding to retire.

Yes but I think especially the fans are beating a dead horse in this game, if Ronaldo and Messi play at all. They hope to get the same drama and intensity that the Spanish fans got when they went into the stadium or switched on the TV to see the best Ronaldo compete with the best Messi. The coaches competed with each other, there was always insane drama and goals and envy. There were fouls against the superstars like in no other game (Pepe and Ramos against Messi) and so many other things that made these games special. Those times are over. The fans may have wrong expectations for that game no matter where it takes place.

Even though Ronaldo and Messi at this moment are still actively playing but yes, even though there are sponsors who make friendly matches and bring Ronaldo v Messi together. But for me, the atmosphere is different and it looks like there will no longer be as much tension as when they played in the El Calsico match in the Real Madrid v Barcelona match. After all, if at this moment they meet, at least it's just for entertainment and that way, of course there won't be high tension in the match. Because ya, after all, what makes or makes them more interesting is the competition for their team's position in the standings. But if they only bring them together in a friendly match, then I think it's just purely for entertainment.
