It was the same thing I was telling a friend, that Dortmund play differently on their home ground, if you watch the way they played against PSG, you will notice how fierce they are with their attack and midfield, they don't have your regular players with much publication but are a group of average players with a different approach to the game of football, to large extent I feel PSG are even Lucky not to conceive more than one goal on Dortmund's ground. If PSG will get a draw, that might be at their home soil in Paris, which I still believe to a large extent that it might be difficult for them even.
Today we get the fact that Dortmund is playing very well at home. Not only in building attacks, but Dortmund really succeeded in thwarting many of PSG's efforts in building attacks. Good defense, great attacking patterns and a lot of breaking up the opponent's ball flow with high pressing are advantages that can be seen from Dortmund's game scheme today, but this will not definitely be repeated and maintained in the second leg.

PSG is at home for the second leg and they will do everything to come back. PSG have quality players even though their performance today was not completely good, but I give them a little confidence to do their best at home later. I don't expect PSG to fail to qualify for the final, but this could happen as long as they don't really play well in the second leg. Home advantage will certainly be valuable capital for PSG, they must take advantage of it.

It can be confirmed that this season's UCL league champions, if not Real Madrid, means Bayern Munich.
I dare not say it. Lol

Experienced investors who know Bitcoin's future potential will buy every bit of it, while others will just put their fears first and not buy it. Accumulating when dipping will clearly be very profitable, but don't force it if you still need money for other needs.

There is no need to panic when you see a decline and correction in prices after the halving, this is a normal situation that investors have actually anticipated. The market has not yet moved in a more positive direction, but I am sure the market will grow and gain high interest in the next few months. Buy the dip and hold, of course that is good advice without being greedy.

In the French League, they may no longer have any challenges with other clubs. PSG will definitely be champions of the French League again this season. However, what is really interesting is at UCL. Yes, that's right, UCL. "Because PSG actually lost to Dortmund in the first leg of the UCL... PSG failed to optimize the chances they had to beat Dortmund, because I think PSG can do it. but sometimes that's not enough.

So here, it is a very big homework for Enrique to map out how PSG will be in the next second leg. Because that is the only chance they have, there is no other word, other than having to win and be ahead by more than 2 goals to win on aggregate.
Of course, Luis Enrique has the most challenging job this season, especially after successfully bringing PSG through to the semi-finals. PSG lost 1-0 to Dortmund in the first leg, but this defeat did not rule out PSG's possibility of qualifying for the final.

In my opinion, PSG also played well in that match, but they failed to take advantage of their goal opportunities perfectly. Dembele doesn't have good finishing when he has chances, and neither do other players. I also noticed that Kylian Mbappe didn't have much influence on the match, that's because Dortmund really managed to keep his movements tight until the end of the match. There is still a second leg, but PSG has to improve a lot.

There's a big game tomorrow between Chelsea and Tottenham. Both teams have played badly in their last two matches and they have both dropped points, but Chelsea can be slightly favored because they will play at home. Chelsea lost 5 points from their last 2 matches, while Tottenham lost 6 points. The players' morale was not good, of course because they were equally bad in both matches.

Chelsea's win rate in home matches is relatively high compared to Tottenham, but Tottenham, which plans to reach the Champions League zone, will certainly try its best to get 3 points in that match. I want to watch the match until the end, but I know there is a high risk in choosing one of them to win the match.

I am not surprised by PSG's defeat today playing at Signal Iduna Park. Dortmund really impressed throughout the match and they proved themselves to be a team that can never be underestimated. Winning home games is a good asset for Dortmund, but they must be aware that PSG can do better at home and force Dortmund to give up.

PSG's game today was not very impressive even though they actually dominated the match. Several players failed to take advantage of many opportunities, the rest failed to penetrate the tight defense of Edin Terzić's men. Dortmund in terms of quality has never lost to PSG, I can say that after seeing their action today.

I disagree. Xavi is not the best coach ever. He is a pretty weak guy who got lucky that Barcelona is more or less part of his name. As a player, he was an amazing midfielder, but I never saw him as someone who is a good coach. I see how a lot of people are celebrating him, but please compare him to Gurdiola. No way would he ever be able to be mentioned in one breath with Guardiola. Xavi is the worst case, but sadly they need him.
I also agree with some of what you said about Xavi, he is not comparable to Pep Guardiola. But Xavi is a coach who is likely to be better than many La Liga coaches for other teams this season and last season. Not all coaches are able to improve a team's game when the team is down due to poor financial conditions, but Xavi proved it and I respect him.

This season Xavi was only able to complete his mission in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, this has also improved compared to last season. Barcelona lost the opportunity to win the title this season, of course it is a setback, but it is also natural because Real Madrid is a team that has everything to hope to win the title this season compared to Barcelona.

I can't find a definite answer to your question, especially because I didn't find any data or survey results about the age of gamblers in my country. The majority of gamblers I know are aged 18 to 55 years, but among the working age group, there are more of them than those aged 45 years and over.

Older gamblers tend not to gamble openly like those aged 18 to 30 years, I mean gamblers over 40 years old tend to gamble secretly because they feel embarrassed if their family and friends find out. There are religious norms that they pay attention to, while gambling is also a problem that can get them punished or arrested if caught red-handed.

Man City deserves to be the favorite in every remaining match this season. Because the opponents that Man City will face are not that difficult for Man City. Examples are Wolves, Fullham and West Ham. Meanwhile, Tottenham will probably be quite strong. But in the end they are still not as strong as Man City. So I am also sure that Man City will continue to win the remaining games this season. But if this season Man City wins the title again then it will be a beautiful victory for Man City and the worst for Arsenal who continue to fail.
You are wrong about Wolves, I mean Manchester City suffered a defeat to Wolves at the start of the season when Wolves won the home game 2-1. Wolves are certainly not favorites to win the away game against Manchester City, but Wolves could prevent Manchester City from taking full points if City make a mistake.

Throughout April, Wolves were only able to achieve 1 win from the 6 matches played. They won the match against Luton Town 2-1 at home, it might be a valuable asset to improve the morale of the players ahead of the away match against Manchester City. Wolves are likely to lose the away game, that's because Manchester City will be aiming to win to defend their title. But nothing is certain, everything is possible.

If we look at the statistics, this is true. Real Madrid has beaten the strongest and favorite club to win the UCL this season, yes, they held the UCL prize last season, Man City. If you think about it, then Real Madrid should also be able to overcome other clubs very well and become champions of the Champions League this time.

However, we also need to emphasize that when talking about football, there is no such thing as safe or underestimating the strength of the opposing team, any team. Because all conditions may change when the performance is underway in the field. So, with this, Ancelotti must be aware and able to control himself and his squad to remain focused on doing the best and most optimally.

Because after all, Bayern is also a strong and tough club. Indeed, if you look at the statistics, Real Madrid should be able to control Bayern. but there will still be very tough opponents. so this definitely won't be easy either. The fear is that in this match, Real Madrid's motivation or strong desire will not be as high as when on fire beat Man City previously.
Even though Real Madrid managed to beat the main favorites in this season's Champions League in the quarter-finals, I wouldn't think Real Madrid could easily beat Bayern Munich in the semi-finals. Bayern Munich is a strong opponent in the Champions League, even Real Madrid could be in danger of failing if they underestimate them.

The match is expected to be as difficult as the quarter-final match against Manchester City, but Real Madrid's record is certainly better. I am optimistic that Real Madrid will win the title if they reach the final, but before that their big challenge is to beat Bayern Munich. I'm not too worried, but still Bayern Munich is a team that has the same chance of qualifying for the final.

Competition to break into Madrid main squad will be easier in the future, every season there will definitely be overhaul in the squad, and Arda Guler will get that opportunity one day. It is also not wrong if you want to hone your skills by going to another club as a loan player, because currently Ancelotti has more confidence in the abilities of players who are more senior than Arda Guler.

Arda Guler potential has already been noticed, that's the reason Los Blancos management brought him from Fenerbahce, but an injury suffered at the start of his career has prevented Arda Guler from making his debut. Even though he hasn't had many opportunities to play, the 2 goals he scored are valid proof of the quality he currently has. Now as a rotation option, Ancelotti will surely look towards him first.

If he doesn't suffer an injury, Arda Guler will definitely develop rapidly under Ancolotti leadership, I think it's just a matter of time. Arda Guler is under contract until 2029, during which time he will certainly have many opportunities to prove his quality and gain the coach trust.
Maybe you are right, but I think the competition for top places will be even more difficult when Real Madrid has many quality players in their squad. There are 3 attacking midfielders in the Real Madrid squad so far, Bellingham is the main choice to fill this position. Arda Guler will certainly get his turn, but he has to work hard and be more patient until the time comes.

Apart from playing as an attacking midfielder, Arda Guler can basically play in different positions. Arda can be placed as a right or left winger, he can also play as a central midfielder although Arda tends to be better as an attacking midfielder. The player who matches that is Brahim Diaz, he is a tough competitor for Arda Guler this season and next season.

This is very normal if there is a traffic jam, if we get weekly income from the campaign, if we don't have an urgent need, I don't think there's any point in selling it, if we have income in the real world. If urgent needs cannot be avoided, you can seek a temporary solution from your friends or relatives by borrowing money. When conditions return to normal, you can sell it. If we accumulate it every month, in my opinion, with fairly high transaction conditions, there's no harm in temporarily storing it on the stock exchange, when conditions are stable you can withdraw it back to your wallet.
There are many options that have been mentioned and I basically agree that they can help. Expensive transaction fees are a problem in the bitcoin network currently, but over time transaction fees will decrease even though it is difficult to expect 1 sat/vB like before.

I agree that, if you have a steady income at a real job and the amount can cover your daily to monthly needs, then there is no reason to sell bitcoin now. You can accumulate your typical campaign earnings each week as a long-term investment, while still being able to sell a percentage of it when you need more budget in the lean months.

Addiction and greed are like two sides of a coin in the world of gambling, only a small number of people are able to save the profits they get from gambling. In essence, it is quite difficult to get out of gambling activities if someone is addicted, because their mindset has been formed for a long time. No matter what principles and rules are applied, we cannot always control them well, that is what happens and we see a lot. But as you said, to be honest, a gambler must be prepared for all risks if he wants to continue gambling.

The pleasure one gets when gambling makes a person do it again the next day and the next, and repeated habits will become a cycle that ultimately leads to addiction. There is a lot of fun to be had in other activities, but fun that involves risk such as gambling offers the most interesting side. That is why so many people continue to gamble to this day, regardless of the principles they adhere to and the risks that arise thereafter, they only think about finding fun in gambling.
Continuous gambling will only increase the addiction from a trial level to a serious level. It is difficult to avoid addiction regardless of the purpose of gambling, this is the same as non-gambling game addiction which is also difficult to stop. Gambling has been considered a field of money for some gamblers, of course because they gamble to make money rather than to have fun.

Almost all casinos offer third-party services to each of their customers to overcome addiction. That is the best thing any casino can provide despite the fact that gambling addiction can increase their income in the industry. Becoming a responsible gambler is important advice for every gambler, but it is difficult to achieve this when the mindset about gambling is money.

I also doubt that in the remaining matches Arsenal can consistently get all the wins, but I still believe Manchester City can finish this season with the Premier League title.
Many users including me also believe the same thing. I know that Arsenal have very tough games remaining in the season and it is predicted that they will really have difficulty maintaining their winning consistency. Meanwhile, Manchester City, which currently has 1 match in hand, has a greater chance of leading the standings, even if Manchester City also has a tough match against Tottenham.

I agree that Arsenal have been great this season, but they made some mistakes at the end of the season which in turn has lowered their chances of the title. Manchester City has a higher probability, which is very natural considering its match schedule and performance so far.

All that was important in that game was just a goal to secure three points. It was very interesting to see Arda Güler scoring the only goal for Real Madrid to top more points.  I think the player made good of opportunity given to to him in the game. Real Madrid could not score more goals in the match against Real Sociedad because maybe they are reserving some energy for the Champions League coming games . The number of points Real Madrid have achieved so far for the season,  they don't need stress themselves much in laliga games, ut us very clear that the laliga title this season is for Real Madrid.
I like how Arda Gular proved his quality when Ancelotti gave him the opportunity to play from the first half. Arda Gular has scored 2 goals in 6 appearances in La Liga this season, he is a talent that I expect to shine in the seasons to come. He is ambitious and brave, he seems happy to continue contributing to the team even though he currently has to sit on the bench for most of the time.

So far, Real Madrid continues to extend its unbeaten record to 18 matches in all competitions. Then from that, Real Madrid has also confirmed that they are the title winners this season with a gap of 13 and 14 points from Girona and Barcelona. Of course Barcelona can still close the points gap to 11 points if they win against Valencia, but that will in no way be a threat to Real Madrid's title which is in sight.

What a hilarious goal keeper for sure. Onana did it again by giving a giveaway penalty to the burnley after he was contesting the loose ball in the air. Onana slapped burnley player's face. No doubt that penalty given by the referee to the burnley. Antony's goal could bring united to get three points but onana was fuckin doin it again.
What an awful goal keeper. Im sure he will be punching his opponents in another moment. This goal keeper sometimes play good but i'd liked to call him as another meguire. Even meguire was not performing as bad as him.

I was rarely seeing meguire doing blunder. It seems he has learned some things to make sure he will stay in united for another season.
I'm not saying Onana's performance was bad in that match, but he did his job well. Casemiro deserved to be blamed for the moment that led to the penalty, Onana only came to clear the ball away from the risk of an opposing player's header. Onana's hand accidentally slapped the player who was dueling in the air, but that is something that is difficult to avoid when you are in the air.

If Onana performs poorly, then Burnley should be able to score several goals through Lyle Foster. Onana managed to keep his goal without error, he saved Manchester United from several big Burnley chances before Casemiro required Onana to make an unintentional foul.

But did you know, Manchester United basically deserved a pinati prize too, but the referee was reluctant to give it. From a clear perspective, one of the Burnley players touched the ball with his hand and that was worthy of a penalty in my opinion. But what happened, Manchester United failed to win again at home today.

We know about the good teamwork in PSG since Enrique joined this team. Also, the playing style of Mbappe and Dembele was great so far and these two players can even get better time after time. Maybe they had to buy Dembele in the last season.
But there is not enough chance for these two players anymore because in a few months, we will see Mbappe leaving PSG, and this means Dembele won't have a player like Mbappe to have this good performance. The best thing Enriuqe can do is to maybe start looking for a new player as soon as possible.
Since PSG hired Luis Enrique as coach, PSG has improved drastically, including in its match statistics. PSG have so far played 30 matches in Ligue 1, while they only received 1 defeat compared to 7 defeats the previous season in 38 matches. Luis Enrique is classified as one of the coaches who has had a good impact on the team's playing record, including in the Champions League, which is clearly great.

The high points gap that PSG has compared to its closest rivals has basically made it very comfortable for PSG to play more focused on the Champions League. They managed to beat Barcelona in the second leg, and that was not just a coincidence, but it was the result of hard work and the team's good level of play this season. PSG will win the Ligue 1 title more quickly, they also have the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League final if they beat Dortmund, then PSG also has another French Cup final against Lyon which will probably make this their greatest season.

In 4 days they will play an important match against Bayern Munich. They will play the first match of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich. Ancelotti wanted to rest some players for this match. Therefore Arda Güler had the opportunity to start the game in the first 11. This season, he had shown good performances in the games he entered the game later. Ancelotti had spoken very highly of him. But he didn't give Arda Güler a chance in the starting 11. The Champions League semi-final created an important chance for Arda Güler. He had previously impressed in the games he entered the game as a substitute. If he extends what he did before to 90 minutes today, he will win everyone's praise. He will get an important chance today.
Ancelotti has a distinct advantage in La Liga after creating a gap of 11 points over Barcelona, ​​meaning he can rotate several main players without problems even though he has to bear the consequences such as losing maximum points due to a draw or loss.

After all, there are many players who hope to have playing minutes for the rest of the season, especially those who have been marginalized so far this season. Fran Garcia, Dani Ceballos, Brahim Díaz and Arda Guler are some of the players I mean, so Ancelotti can give them a chance in any match in La Liga as long as the points gap with Barcelona is still safe. Today I think Ancelotti will put some of the above players in the main line up against Real Sociedad, so we'll see what the results are.

For now and in the future, there is even a possibility for Bitcoin to continue to improve again without having to link it to the history that occurred in 2020. Because this year Bitcoin has made new history by achieving its ATH and by accepting an ETF on Bitcoin so that it can increase the price in the market becomes faster. However, recently after the halving I saw that the market was a little slow to increase and tended to stagnate with small corrections, although this is not something to worry about because everyone can take advantage of conditions like that to continue buying before Bitcoin moves upwards again next month.
Bitcoin has hit its new ATH before the halving, which is unexpected in this halving cycle. Prices don't increase significantly immediately after the halving, that's a normal thing that you don't need to worry about. Over time the market will grow by itself which in turn will make Bitcoin's market capitalization rise, but this will of course take months.

I agree that we are on the road to a $100k price for bitcoin, but $100k is not being reached as easily as one might hope. Volatility cannot be separated, even a small correction is still very likely due to panic selling by some holders.

Indeed. The price won't suddenly skyrocket, it takes time for a significant increase. It is not a new altcoins that may skyrocket just in few days because of a hype. Bitcoin is an established coin that grows gradually. Let's give it the time for growing day after day. Even if it looks a bit slower, but it looks like to grow as we expect.
Yes, I agree. Having high expectations about the price of bitcoin rising quickly after the halving is not wrong, but there must be great support which in turn can make demand for bitcoin higher. Large flows of funds in the market from large investors or whales will have a quick positive impact on prices, but I don't see that as a big possibility because I think currently large investors and whales tend to wait for the right moment to influence the market.

I have no problem holding bitcoin for longer especially if the price I expect hasn't arrived yet. I expect a much higher ATH in the next 12 to 15 months, so as a consequence I have to be patient until that target is achieved. I don't know, it could be less than a year or maybe more, patience is the key to success.

-snip-
If we look at the history of the previous bullrun seasons, it may need some months or even a year to increase significantly. It probably will be at the end of this year or in the early of 2025 to see the big move in Bitcoin price. Bitcoin has just reached its new ATH few weeks ago ($73k), it should take time to have another new ATH. So, it is true that we must be patient to wait for the next big pump of Bitcoin price.
Once again, I agree with your statement. It takes time to see the price of bitcoin rise significantly, so it's true that we just need to be patient and go through each stage without hesitation.

Judging from this side, Barcelona is more fortunate, of course Xavi also does not want to give the last bad impression if it is true that he will be replaced, against Valencia even though we know that there are weaknesses in Barcelona and advantages in Valencia, I think with the strength of the current Barcelona front line it is still possible to pierce the Valencia defense even though it is very difficult.

Of course Barcelona need to be careful at the end of this season which is very crucial and becomes the final positioning time to continue to the next league in the championship because 6 matches remain to end this season and the real opportunity is wide open for those who have a very good change and consistency of victory, I feel that Atletico Madrid and Girona are still wide open to enter the UCL space next season, so Bilbao still has a chance.
I don't think it matters much for Barcelona whether they lose, draw or win against Valencia in their next match. The main problem that Barcelona needs to think about is how to restore the best form of their squad towards the end of the season and maintain themselves in the Champions League zone. It doesn't matter if Barcelona will end the season in 3rd place, it doesn't really matter.

But of course there is prestige that Barcelona is fighting for. Xavi will improve the team's performance and get back on the right path after losing against Real Madrid in El Clasico, but Valencia is not a weak team even though this season they have had 11 defeats and 8 draws in 32 matches. I think Barcelona have a great chance of winning at home, but also don't ignored their chances of dropping points.
