The most obvious thing that causes a team's performance to decline is injuries to its main players. It is undeniable that Barcelona lost many of its main players such as Pedri, De Jong, Araujo, Kounde, Lewandowski and Raphinha some time ago, and that has made them lose a lot of points due to the team's unstable performance. Barcelona don't have many defeats, but 4 draws in 13 games have equaled their record last season, but they won the title.

This season Real Madrid is better in terms of team performance, but I am aware that Barcelona is not far from Real Madrid at the moment. Barcelona is only 4 points behind Real Madrid and this is not too big a gap not to be caught. Real Madrid certainly has to maintain its good form, but Barcelona can be better when we fail to win a match.

On paper, Lazio is clearly better than Celtic. I believe they can win the match to lock one of the tickets to the round of 16 even though there is a deciding match if Feyenoord beats Atletico Madrid. The probability of Lazio winning over Celtic is very convincing, but Atletico Madrid is likely to be doubted to win the match. This group is still hard to guess who can qualify, but I think Lazio and Atletico Madrid have a good chance of qualifying.

The Group F match looks very interesting because all teams still have hopes of qualifying for the round of 16. PSG plays at home against Newcastle, while Milan travels to Dortmund on the back of a win over Fiorentina in Serie A. PSG impressed against Monaco a few days ago, as did Newcastle against Chelsea. So I think this is the most interesting match that is worth waiting for even though I think PSG and Milan have a high chance of winning.

Cadiz is actually not an easy opponent, but as far as the match goes Real Madrid is 0-3 ahead of Cadiz. Rodrygo scored 2 goals, while 1 other goal was scored by Jude Bellingham. This man is very difficult to stop and currently Bellingham continues to set a good record for his goal record this season. 11 goals have been recorded so far for La Liga games, but I think Jude Bellingham will get at least 20 if he can maintain his form.

Now I can expect Girona to lose or draw against Bilbao. Real Madrid led the standings for a while while waiting for Girona to finish their match. Of course Girona are in good form, but I hope they can drop points against Bilbao tomorrow.

That's right, Tottenham has experienced 3 consecutive defeats at this time. It started with defeats against Chelsea, Wolves and today they lost to Aston Villa. Tottenham tried not to lose this match and they did it according to their coach's instructions, but in the end defeat could not always be avoided because the opposing team defended well. This is a bad result for Tottenham because they have lost their position in the top 4 of the standings, but make no mistake that Tottenham still have a chance to recover.

The next match will certainly be even more difficult because Tottenham will face Manchester City. Pep Guardiola and his team have also lost full points in the previous two matches, so both teams will fight to win maximum points even though on paper Manchester City is the favorite. This season Manchester City has had difficulty winning matches against the big four teams, so there is an opportunity for Tottenham to get points.

I'm not someone who is worried about PSG in the group phase, but losing 4-1 to Newcastle is a sign that PSG has not yet found its best performance under Luis Enrique. PSG won against Dortmund and Milan mainly because they played at home, but then PSG lost to Milan away from home. If PSG can play better at home, then there is a possibility for them to win the game against Newcastle and maybe lose again or drop points against Dortmund on the away game.

So far I am only confident that PSG can qualify for the round of 16 with a total of 9 - 10 points, but it is possible for PSG to lead the standings if they manage to win the remaining 2 matches against Newcastle and Dortmund. Newcastle, however, does not have a high probability of winning the next two matches, but they can threaten anyone who underestimates them, including PSG and Milan.

Barcelona could have lost against Rayo Vallecano if the defense was not as good as it was today. Both teams appeared very enthusiastic throughout the match and I have noticed that matches involving these two teams are often intense. Until the last match, Barcelona had not been able to win a single match against Rayo Vallecano in 5 La Liga meetings, clearly that is a bad record that is still being recorded.

Xavi made rotations for his players in this match even though he shouldn't have done so when Rayo Vallecano was the opponent. Ilkay Gundogan, Kounde and Araujo and Raphinha should have been starters in this match if Barcelona wanted to win, but that didn't happen. This is the 4th time Barcelona have drawn in 14 games, and I hope they won't be as good as last season in the title race. It is clear that today the result of the Vallecano vs Barcelona match will benefit Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Girona.

The match was balanced in the first half because both teams maintained their tempo well. The first half ended 1-1, but the second half was a disaster for Chelsea where they had to accept conceding 3 additional goals from Newcastle. Regarding this match, Chelsea once again failed to maintain their consistency in getting points in every match, even if they held Manchester City to a draw and beat Tottenham in the previous match.

There wasn't much Pochettino could do for Chelsea in this match because in the end all his plans failed. Newcastle dominated and played well at home, the 4-1 scoreline is something that will motivate them to face PSG in the Champions League in the next few days.

The match was fierce between Manchester City and Liverpool. Manchester City appeared to attack from the first half and they managed to lead 1-0 until the end of the first half. Liverpool, who played more defensively, did not find many chance because Manchester City defended and dominated the match well. They were unlucky in maintaining their lead while they were also unlucky in scoring additional goals. Obviously this has hurt them because there is a possibility that Arsenal could take first place if they managed to beat Brentford.

Moreover, Arsenal may not necessarily be able to beat Brentford who are playing at home. Of course Brentford is not better than Arsenal in terms of performance, but whatever the probability of Arsenal winning, we cannot be sure. Meanwhile, in another match, Newcastle really looks like they will destroy Chelsea's spirit. The temporary score was 3-1 in favor of Newcastle, two quick goals were created in the second half 1 minute apart.

To be honest I don't expect Girona to win, a draw or loss to Bilbao is what I want. Of course a draw or loss will pave the way for Real Madrid to lead the standings and take over from Girona, but until the Girona vs Bilbao match has not been played then this is just wild speculation and hope.

Currently the Real Madrid squad is plagued by injuries, but I hope this will not have a negative impact on the team's performance and game plan. Real Madrid is lucky not to have tougher opponents in the next 2 or 3 league matches, so I think Real Madrid will still win 3 points this week even though several of their main players are injured. I hope so, but Real Madrid without many of its main players feels unattractive, especially against a weak team.

Both teams are not taking each other lightly, and if there is any assumption about that then I think it is just nonsense. PSG knows very well Monaco's strength this season, as well as Monaco knows exactly PSG's strength. Both teams will both field their best squad to get positive results, but I admit that PSG is superior at home.

This season PSG has had 1 defeat and 1 draw in 6 home matches in Ligue 1, Monaco has 3 draws and 1 loss in 6 matches. Last season Monaco managed to win 4 points against PSG, but I think this season will be reversed where PSG has a good chance to win more points from Monaco. This is an important match for both of them, but if PSG win then they will be in better form for the match against Newcastle in the next few days.

Since PSG is playing at home, then I think they can really be expected to win 3 points today. Luis Enrique has found a way to lift his team's fighting spirit after being doubted at the start of the season. The adaptation process for several new players is very good and according to plan, but this also goes hand in hand with Luis Enrique's adaptation in Ligue 1.

PSG plays Monaco at home, as well as against Newcastle. I think this is an opportunity for PSG and their coach to get a home win despite the opponent's good performance. You are right, if PSG wins the match against Monaco then they will have good morale to win the match against Newcastle in the Champions League.

I agree, the competition will heat up as the league progresses. In the end I just believe that Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two teams that will fight for the title and Girona will be eliminated in the race. Girona is not a team that can always be favored even against weak teams, but one thing I can say about them is that they are currently the leaders of the standings. Lol

Of course, maintaining performance alone is not enough to continue leading the standings.
Improved performance is expected so that Girona doesn't always lose against the top teams that currently dominate La Liga, but I know that is a super difficult thing at the moment. Girona's current squad is still not bothered by injuries other than Toni Villa.

Of course this has been a plus for Girona in their plans to maintain their progress in La Liga, but when two or three of their main players are injured then I think performance will suffer. Right now I am curious about how they will face Bilbao this week, if Girona wins then this will clearly be a danger sign for any team who will meet them in the next match.

Anyone is never considered too late when it comes to investing, but perhaps they don't come at the right time, especially when prices are still low. Until now, the price of bitcoin can still be said to be low compared to the previous ATH. So I think investors should be able to consider this as a good opportunity to earn a lot of bitcoin before the big bullrun starts.

The halving will happen in a few months, and a spot bitcoin ETF is also awaiting approval. Many other ETF products have also been proposed and it seems that the fundamentals are very strong to create a larger market capitalization in 2025 and beyond. Some people think we will get ATH before the halving, but for me it's just a bonus.

I know what you want to hear, Girona will not be able to do the same as Napoli last season in Serie A. Their main problem is the squad depth, but the good thing about them is; they have good confidence and motivation in every game.

I'm happy to say Girona will lose in time and they will only fight to qualify for the Champions League if they maintain their best form. At the moment the first half is not over yet and I am sure they will drop a few more points in some tough games ahead.

Girona can certainly hope for the best this season, but apart from struggling to maintain its form, everything still depends on the performance of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. If these three big teams lose a lot of points, then Girona will take their chance to maintain top position.

Managing players who have a high level of egoism is very difficult, especially if the coach does not have a brilliant career to gain a lot of respect. Ten Hag came to the Premier League with his team's good performance in the Eredivisie, but he has not completely failed in managing the team because in his first season he was able to bring Manchester United qualified to the Champions League.

Ten Hag must win the dressing room because everything starts from there. Some of Manchester United's senior players look selfish in the game and actually this should be resolved rather than bringing in lots of new players. I agree that there are certainly some players who come and go, but improving the performance of existing players must be the focus at this time.

You are right, that is the fact in football. The favorite team is not always able to win matches that are considered easy, while on several occasions they can also lose points due to strategic errors and whatever other reasons. All big teams have experienced defeats or dropped points like that, but it is only rare.

I wouldn't be completely surprised to find Real Madrid losing to a weak team that can play at its best in terms of defending and taking chances, but it's certainly bad for Real Madrid and its record. Likewise with Barcelona, ​​they have even lost several points in easy matches because other teams can really take advantage of the collective abilities of their players in defense and when building attacks.

The fight for top position this season feels strange because of Girona. But I'm sure Real Madrid and Barcelona will gain the upper hand as the league progresses. Girona have a lot of tough games ahead, so of course there is hope that they will slip from top spot on their own. However, Real Madrid must be able to maintain consistent play and performance following the current storm of injuries.

Girona is of course aware that they will not be able to maintain the top of the standings. Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to stick closely to each other from then on and a draw will really affect the team mentally. I naturally expect a lot from Real Madrid and Barcelona because in reality these two teams are the ones who most often get out of pressure and get the best achievements.

Bilbao, Valencia, Barcelona, ​​Alaves and Real Betis are the opponents that Girona will have to face until the end of the year. I can guess that Girona will lose 3 out of 5 games especially against Bilbao, Barcelona and Real Betis, but they are too good for Alaves and Valencia.

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

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

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

There's no one to blame, it's just my own responsibility to love the game. I never blamed anyone who gave me cigarettes for the first time until I became addicted, the same goes for gambling because from the start I knew what the consequences would be. I get lost in games and illusions, but I don't forget that self-control and budget limits must be had so as not to have a bad impact on me and my psychology.

The first article is that they are never wrong and do not deserve to be blamed. The intense curiosity about the feeling of a big win has fueled me to increase my intensity, but in the end I realized that fun should take priority over the pursuit of victory.

I prefer to call it charity, but you certainly don't need to wait for the jackpot if you want to do charity. I don't know if world charities also help mental rehabilitation foundations for problem gamblers, but if there are then I think it's much better than giving them cash compensation.

In a previous post, I stated that Crowdfunding for problem gamblers is not an attractive idea.
I don't agree with the idea for the same reasons, but I support if there is a rehabilitation foundation that can help these problem gamblers get out of their heavy addiction. Of course every gambler must be a responsible gambler, but it is never easy because most gamblers will eventually have an impact on their finances if the level of addiction has become too severe.
