Yeah, we are looking forward to more drama in this game as Atletico Madrid doesn't want to take chances is this game because they're actually playing with determination and Real Madrid doesn't also look like they gonna accept defeat in this game but however, kudos to Atletico Madrid for taking the lead first because it might give them an advantage and confidence to defeat Real Madrid so let's stay glued till the rest of the match as they're in the 74th minute of play as at the time of giving this information.

Three gbusa for Ekong as he has scored a beautiful goal with a pelnaty kick to put Nigeria on the lead. Osimhen was the player that won the penalty, as he was hit by ivory coast defender, when he was about to control the ball inside the 18 yard box.

 Ekong broke the deadlock on the 57th minutes of the game in the second half. I just hope that Nigeria will use this opportunity to take advantage of winning the match since they are on the lead.

Ivory Coast 0-1 Nigeria.

Both teams had a scoring opportunity but could not capitalize.
On paper, Ivory Coast is the better team and has better quality football players.
When African Football is mentioned (in the past, Cameroon came first)
Ivory Coast and Morocco are coming.
They had a very good start after Drogba.
Nigeria used to be a very good team, especially in the 1994 World Cup held in America.
Coming to the match, I believe that the match will end in a draw.
Only 45 minutes left for this.

Nobody in the league will catch up to PSG, the league is already over, to be fair it was over even before the season started but there were some discussions about Mbappe not playing and having trouble and all that. When that was over and he started to play ,the locker room dangers and troubles  of the club was over and they became great again. This league will continue to be dominated by them, thank god that Lille won once in the middle, or we would have probably something longer than what Bayern has done.

I believe that they are going to end up with PSG just getting titles and titles for many years, ligue one needs some other rich person to buy some club, otherwise it is not going to really work out well for them, it will not be a good result.

Physical fitness is important for him if he wants to play in next world cup with as he is currently doing most chances he will be available for the next world cup because right now he is 36 and when we will have next world cup he could be 39 which mean still he will be able to perform but again if he has no injury or any issue which prevent him from playing soccer.

Now their next target is Copa América which is coming and as we read now tension with coach Scaloni is ended which is also good news for the team and Argentinian fans because this will bring good booster for them and presence of Messi will also give them good confidence hopefully all will be good for them in coming years, and they will be able to play their best in next world cup which is going to play with new format in three countries.

City were just as dangerous without De Bruyne, and I'm not sure it would have helped Real much, much less Bayern, who clearly have defensive problems. But it is impossible to evaluate teams a month ago, or several months before the match, because a lot can happen, one of the players can get injured, someone can return to the game, this will also affect the team. And which of these teams will be stronger is difficult to answer, I think it will be either Real or City.

It is going to be a sad thing if Bayern Munich actually gets Xabi as the new coach. I think Xabi should look to go to Real Madrid. But the problem is we all know that the Real Madrid coach is staying for another year. So Xabi is not going to Real Madrid in my opinion. And I think that is the chance which Bayern Munich is trying to take with him. Now I am pretty sure that if Bayern Munich actually gets him, it is going to be a disaster for other clubs in the Bundesliga. Because he is already doing really well with his club which is not very powerful in terms of squad. And imagine what he will do if he goes to Bayern Munich as the coach.

Arsenal still have a chance but it may only be a maximum of finishing in the top 3, a slight decrease from last season. Because being a competitor to Liverpool and Man City is quite difficult, in fact I think Arteta feels quite frustrated with the results in the last few matches. I really hope Arsenal can lift the EPL trophy but the fact is that English  giants like Man City and Liverpool will not let that happen. Like it or not Arsenal always have to experience a painful end to the season, and it doesn't happen just once or twice. I don't know what factors are the big obstacles for Arsenal in achieving it but for Arteta if he continues to gain confidence in 1 or 2 more seasons it could be possible.

The Saudis visionized the benefit of Ronaldo in their league and ever since his arrival he's helped the league to be a focus for fans too. He was the first international signing for the league and other players have been seeing reasons why SPL should be considered in their next transfers.The league itself are eager to expand more as they have eyes on quality stars all around Europe.

 Ronaldo made wave at his first game in the league and he's been doing exceedingly well. Al Nassr recorded a huge increase in the normal of views they have on their social media handles at the instant his signing was complete. No doubt, there's what they call "the Ronaldo effect".Ronaldo a world star helped SPL grow in recognition and SPL are playing their part in ensuring that they keep that track of recognition and focus.

Whoa, I'm excited to watch today's tough match! To be honest, I love watching Atletico Madrid play real Madrid or Barcelona play real Madrid; those matches are always intense. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are playing today in the Copa del Ray round 16 and both teams are extremely strong in the La Liga league. Atletico Madrid will not allow what happened during their previous meeting to occur again, but as long as Real Madrid's performance is superior to Atletico Madrid's, Real Madrid will still defeat Atletico Madrid. The last time Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid met was in the Spanish Supercup semifinal. Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid and also took the trophy from Barcelona at the final zone.

While Atletico Madrid can play very well against Real Madrid because they are also aware of how Real Madrid plays, I believe Real Madrid has changed how they play. Ancelotti will not allow Real Madrid to lose this match; in fact, he will want them to win a lot of trophies this season, which is why he never gives up by giving his players tips on how to play well. Additionally, Real Madrid's players are in such good form right now that they can defeat any team. If Atletico Madrid wins, I believe it will be a fortunate game for Atletico Madrid.

Comparing Juventus' current performance with the early season performance, it is easy to guess that the team's performance is much more organized and strong than before. At the start of the season we saw that Juventus players had a lot of trouble scoring. They could not win by a large margin. But now Juventus' attacking players are playing very well. The performances of Vlahovic, Chiesa and Rabiot are very good. We are seeing more improvement in their performance day by day. Juventus now seem fully capable of challenging Inter Milan for the title.

Yes I agree with what you said. That penalty changed everything. Moreover, it was a penalty 10 minutes into the first half. If it becomes a goal then Lens' confidence will increase. The game may be a little different because the Lens players can play without pressure because they have led the goal. It was really the penalty that decided everything. It's not like a penalty in the final minutes of a match or when you're already leading the score. It was truly a penalty that decided the course of the match. Actually, I hope it becomes a goal because it looks like it would be very interesting to watch. 

Looking forward to seeing whether the Saudi League signs Lewandowski and Salah. It'll affect everything if they do. Imagine matches full with European superstars! However, I doubt Lewandowski's move. Given the speculations of a Brazilian successor, Barcelona may not keep him. On the other hand, Salah may stay with Liverpool. Salah fits Klopp's system, which maximizes performance.

The Saudi League's approach is smart. These famous players are meant to boost the league's profile. Football quality and worldwide attention are both important. I want to watch how this approach plays out and who makes the big move.

Liverpool are very good, Klopp has been coaching them for a long time and under his leadership they have achieved a lot, but if we compare them with City, I would give preference to Guardiola’s team. Guardiola knows how to maintain a high level of play for many seasons, without major failures, and I like such teams better.

Two points is a very insignificant advantage, there are still many games ahead and everything can change. Perhaps we are already accustomed to the fact that City are the leaders of the Premier League, and it is difficult for us to imagine that anyone can break their dominance. It seems Arteta tried to do this, but Arsenal is missing something every time.

Roma was consistently losing the game and roma fans were aware of this. This is also the main reason the management was sacking him out from club. I have no faith in roma anymore. I would remove this club as my favorite club to win europa league this season.
I never heard the history of de rossi in the football. He was a new coach in the professional football and it will be a very dumb decision to sack mourinho.

Liverpool and leverkusen are still remaint he strongest club to win the title this season. Liverpool and leverkusen are the strongest among all the clubs participated in the europa league. Roma was also on my favorite caused by it was going to the final last season.
My hope has gone after mourinho sacked by roma. It's a very hars reality for him caused by mourinho has been helping roma a lot since he was coming to the club.

I can't deny mourinho was also being linked with so many problems, but yeah, it was his unique characteristic. Roma is just losing a good coach who has been forced to manage the club without even get good amounts of money.

It was all thanks to Juventus' patience which made Juventus consistent again after beating Sassuolo with a convincing victory. This victory provides a strong signal for Inter Milan, who are at the top of the standings and are currently only two points behind. Now Juventus' new foundation has been formed, starting from the back, middle and front. You could say that Juventus and its squad are very good, their goal composition does not only rely on one player, and that is very dangerous for their opponents.

Apart from that, Allegri has found the right formation and I don't think there is a need to buy any more players, because he forgives young players. Since Yildiz was on fire in scoring goals, the other strikers didn't want to miss out on scoring goals, in the previous match Arkadiusz Milik managed to score a hat trick. Yildiz is truly a motivation for his seniors. Initially I wanted Allegri to be fired from Juventus, but after seeing Juventus' current development, he deserves to stay at Juventus because he is good at getting along with young players.

The second half of the season begins at Friday with matchday 18 and Mainz and Union Berlin will play against each other. Both teams did not win their last match. Now both have the opportunity to gain important points in the relegation battle. A 6-point game. Union Berlin have the opportunity to keep a direct opponent at distance with a win.

The defence from Mainz has improved since the new coach joined Mainz. They have noc lost a game since then, but have only won one.

Robin Gosens will be able to play again for Union Berlin. This will allow Bjelica to play his 4-2-3-1 system.

I expect a draw. 1:1

Nothing to doubt Xavi here. First you need to understand what is the main problem of Barcelona club. Some people keep blaming Xavi without trying to understand the real problem, I think it's kind of stupid. If all those people tried to understand the challenges Xavi is going through this season, they would be thanking Xavi instead of blaming him. Barcelona is currently a financially strapped club, unable to sign top quality players due to the financial crisis. However, I think Xavi is capable of managing Barcelona very efficiently. Xavi can still give Barcelona his best and develop performances.
