If we talk about luck, it seems to me that Barcelona were helped only by luck that they were able to take the first place in the group, although they did not have strong opponents. If we look at Inter's game, we can say that luck is only a small part of it.

Steven Gerard is really bad as a coach even though they at Al-Ettifaq have classy players, there are Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum players and they have both been at Liverpool, plus Higg, Dembele and Gray. but Steven Gerard could not lift al-Ettifaq to be able to compete for the SPL championship, instead now they have to settle for being in eighth place in the SPL.

What's worse is that al-Ettifaq has never won in the last eight matches, of course this is a failure for Steven Gerard as a coach. I don't know why Al-Ettifaq still keeps him as coach. Do they still have hope in Steven Gerard? Or maybe Steven Gerard's failure was due to language problems, because every time he gave directions he always used a translator?

Tottenham were basically the favorites in this match, but things didn't go according to initial plan. Ange Postecoglou has to think of several strategies that can make Tottemham win this match, but as far as the first half goes, I don't think Ange Postecoglou can do much. Brighton closed the first half with a win, which was good for them.

Ange Postecoglou and his team have struggled to penetrate Brighton's defense so far, so that was one issue he had to think about in the second half. Meanwhile, in another match, Arsenal trailed West Ham 0-1 through Tomáš Souček's goal. The referee finally approved Tomáš Souček's goal after reviewing VAR.

It could be a serious battle for Osimhen. There are many teams in need of a striker during the transfer period. I guess every team in Europe would want Osimhen in their team, except Bayern, which has a great striker like Harry Kane. If Arsenal manages to transfer him, I'm sure they will get great contributions from him.

I don't understand what can be said when saying Nottingham Forrest will be scarier than Aston Villa?
Even though in this case the performance of Manchester United is still not too predictable but comparing Nottingham Forrest's performance with Aston Villa and can be much more frightening i think it's too much.

Indeed maybe in terms of this match it will be different because surely when Manchester United meet Nottingham Forrest tactically  
 Nottingham will definitely do a defensive scheme so that they don't concede the ball but in terms of performance they are still very weak and cannot be compared with Aston Villa.
Currently Manchester United  momentum is still very much there especially with the success of Hojlund to score their first goal in the EPL it is hoped that it will be able to bring  Manchester United back to a better direction  although sometimes their performance is unpredictable because it could also be a momentum that fails to return after they won this week with a dramatic comeback.

Seeing this post, I am interested to see the temporary odds for the two teams who will meet in the 16th round of the Champions League. well, after I saw what the bookmaker provided. it seems that currently the two teams are still predicted to have equal strength, even though Barcelona is said to have more experience. in fact, Barcelona currently has problems, whether it's on the front lines with its goal-scoring players. also, in their defense sector. this season there are factors that are hampering Barcelona, ​​in the front line which is having difficulty completing every opportunity they have, as well as their defense line. Barcelona concedes a lot in its domestic league. just imagine, if Barcelona met a team that was more consistent in performance. maybe, Barcelona is easy for the opposing team to beat. likewise, when Xavi Hernandez's squad visited Napoli, it was not an easy match considering their performance and the odds provided by the bookies.

I want to say that experience alone is not enough. in essence, Xavi must improve his squad. well, since this match still has a time lag, I think Xavi has the opportunity to improve the quality and performance of his team to be much better. apart from that, Napoli cannot be underestimated, even though they experienced a decline in performance in their 2 matches in 2 different competitions. to be honest, I don't really follow Serie A, but because the first leg was held at Napoli headquarters. which means, playing in front of their own supporters will give them the motivation to achieve victory. apart from all that, actually the match between these two teams still has a sufficient time gap for both teams. let's see, every development of these two teams when playing matches in their Domestic League.

Yes, good point. Surprisingly they have been performing quite well. The win against Newcastle with 3-0 scoreline was really something that boosted them and they continued to win few more until their game against Spurs. Still City are far ahead in level terms if we compare them to Everton and City needs points right now and they want to make themselves on track and certainly will try their best out to win the match. I think City has got this in today's match against Everton.

The most important thing is hojlund has been finally scoring for manches united after very long time and glad to see that manchester united was having very impressive game against aston villa which was also making manchester united to climbing up.
I must admit that aston villa was really strong but garnacho has become the main solution for manchester united. I meant that if he is very useful for united this time. This si amazing performance from him and im not expecting him to score two goals. Glad to see that ten hag is always putting him as starting line up instead of rashford. Glad to see that manchester united got three points and this is very helpful for the club. Onana does nothing again in this match. He shall be thankful caused by onana was not being blamed caused by hojlund and garnacho has been helping him a lot.
This shall become the main concern for this time. I meant that if onana is always showing horrific performance in any matches. No doubt that mu needs to find a new goal keeper to replace and compete with him.
MU shall need to get a new goal keeper asap.

Of course PSG must evaluate well so that they can advance to the next round because the match will be more difficult than we imagined in the round of 16. Real Sociedad cannot be underestimated, they are one of the teams with strong ambitions to become champions this season, even these two teams have never met before, so it will be quite difficult to predict the final result. Even though PSG has quality players in their team, if they can't make the most of the first leg then they will have difficulties in the second leg.

Even in the Champions League this season, several teams that have qualified that cannot be underestimated are those who can surprise the big teams. The teams from Laliga performed better in the Champions League this season so PSG must think carefully about being able to beat Real Sociedad in the first leg. Maybe I see this is a bigger obstacle for psg when they meet a team they have rarely played against before.

It is not impossible of course as they are very close to the top 4, but I am hesitant to believe they will make it eventually. The top 4 are set in stone almost I would say although maybe AC Milan will get into deeper trouble over time. But then there is some unexpected competition from Bologna and Fiorentina and Napoli is still not out of the game for the top 4. It is a single point separating them from Roma. If I had to pick my top 4 right now, I would not choose Roma.

Why do you doubt Leverkusen to win the trophy? I think Leverkusen is the team that has the highest chance to win Europa League and Bundesliga trophy. Sure, there are some clubs from UCL but I don't think they are strong enough to beat Leverkusen or Liverpool. The teams from UCL are Galatasaray, Lens, Braga, Benfica, Feyenoord, AC Milan, Young Boys, and Shakhtar Donetsk. I think AC Milan is the only team that may have the chance to beat Leverkusen and Liverpool. But considering the performance of AC Milan this season, I'm not sure AC Milan will defeat Leverkusen and Liverpool.

For now, I will admit that West Ham is stronger than MU from the last 5 matches. We can distinguish that West Ham has bagged 3 wins while MU has only been able to get 1 win and if we compare the depth of performance of these two clubs, West Ham much stronger because MU several. players suffered injuries so it was natural that West Ham won the match at that time.
On the one hand, the strong encouragement from the home match gave West Ham a lot of confidence and it was very visible that this club was more relaxed and comfortable when playing against MU, even though they were under pressure from MU several times but were unable to break down West Ham defense.
If we talk about Arsenal match against West ham, I am sure that this is arsenal opportunity to maintain their points and continue to stay  first place on the points table and one side of the home match always provides big opportunity for top clubs and the bookies also know that Arsenal is worthy to. be a favorite.
Arteta's club will continue to try to get rid of the clubs that will be its opponents, even though they are not very consistent, but in fact they have reached first place and are leading the Premier League.

The PSG squad over the years have suffered lack of cooperation and that alone has increased the Ego on most of the players. Luis Enrique is quite a quality coach and should be able to bring out the best from this team but what’s needed is cooperating together no matter your class and achievements without that this team will not go pass what they achieve yearly which is the Ligue 1.

 They have the financial power and squad depth to challenge for the UCL but yet they don’t go past he Round of 16 or Last 8 and that’s very bad. Well let’s keep our fingers crossed that Luis Enrique will get the job done at PSG and make  the fans smile  again, cause they're desperately in need of seeing their team win a major trophy.

It is very surprising to see that Real Sociedad, who is currently leading in first place on the CL points table, was even able to hold Inter Milan to a draw in the last match yesterday and this makes everyone hesitate to predict who will win when playing against PSG.
But according to my predictions, this round of 16 match will have 2 rounds and for the 1st leg PSG will be the host and this is an opportunity for PSG if they want to qualify for the next round Enrique must be able to fight to get the right strategy to win with a bigger score so that In the 2nd leg match when playing away, PSG already had bigger aggregate points, but the problem is that Real Sociedad has a very strong defense and I doubt whether PSG, who will rely on Mbappe, will be able to break into Real Sociedad's goal.
It's very difficult to predict but I can only speculate, but if I look at these two clubs, both clubs will score equally and I still hope that PSG will win the 1st leg match with a higher score.

I personally don't bet on Chelsea winning that match. But I hope for a draw in this match. But I was quite disappointed because Chelsea were still bad when Nkunku was back with them. But at least after Nkunku returns we can see Chelsea starting to have a deadly attack. But that alone is not enough if the Chelsea squad still does not have confidence in every match. Because I always see Chelsea players playing with complete uncertainty. Which makes them unable to perform optimally.

And it's really sad to see Chelsea have to continue to struggle to stay in the top 10. They should be fighting for a higher ranking. But what I see now is that Chelsea is just trying not to get worse so as not to be thrown down to the bottom of the rankings. Man United might also experience the same thing. But they are not as bad as Chelsea.

After osimhen got a red card I think that was the genesis of Napoli's fall in the match against Roma, Napoli already had a very poor form and had a poor performance along side so the red card made things even worse for them because they were already struggling with complete players, a man down made it even worse.

Roma was beaten by bologna few day back and bologna nis a team that when compared to Napoli in strength and dept so it was more like a team below Napoli was able to win bologna so definitely or most likely Napoli should have been able to win Roma with little stress but then it turned out roma became a hectic game for Napoli to play, the next two games which osimhen will be missing is definitely going to have some effect on Napoli performance and their results will be affected aswell.

Atletico Madrid is one of the top teams in La Liga. I can understand if many people admire Atletico Madrid due to its popularity. They ever won the La Liga title, Atletico Madrid quite succeed in La Liga. For this season, Atletico Madrid has no very competitive squad, so it is difficult to compete with Real Madrid. But I think they still have the chance to win the La Liga title. The point gap is 7 points, it is not impossible to overtake the point differences. If Real Madrid and Girona get difficulty to maintain their good performances, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona may have the chance to overtake them. However, Real Madrid and Girona still play quite consistent, it is unlikely for them to catch their points in the near future.

After the match between WestHam and Mancshter United in which Manchester United lost the game with a 2-0 result, the fans of Manchester United are mostly waiting to see Ten Hag getting fired from this team because of the bad results he had during this season and the game against WestHam was only one example for this coach,
I see on the news they talk about Ten Hag and they say the bobble exploded, they think Ten Hag will not even see the Christmas in Manchester United.

I didn't pay attention to Brest at all during this season and to be honest this team was totally unknown to me because I didn't see good performance from this team during the last season.
But after the game between Brest and Lorient in which Brest won the game with a 4-0 result, I think we can even see a miracle from Brest during this season if they continue the good performance.

Before this game between Roma and Napoli I would have thought that Napoli is the team that has the chance to get better and finish in the top four, but now I have to revoke my idea and say no. This game could be pivotal for what is to come next for Napoli. They lost both strikers Osimhen and Politano due to both receiving red cards. This doesn't make their situation any better and I guess Politano will be missing a couple of games whereas for Osimhen it is perhaps only one game. But Osimhen is also going to the Africa Cup, which means that Napoli is out of strikers when the season restarts. All these conditions make me believe that Napoli lost more than just one game against Roma.
