Nasser Al-Khelaifi is the president and have been incharge for a longer time than expected, he's doing good and nailing projects for the club. Paris Saint-Germain becomes elite when no other oppositions is able to nailed them. They've been having crucial moments settling their winnings, its important for them to continue dominating France Ligue One because any season they failed to win, that's more illustrative to giving other elite and mediocre clubs hopes to challenge for the title. Winning is evidence of an elite team doing incredible better and magnificent in performance.

I also think Manchester City will make the most of their home advantage, but we all know how they play. As long as Arsenal don't concede a goal, Manchester City can have as much possession as they want. It wouldn't be a surprise if Arsenal score a late goal and win the game. There will be a tactical battle between the managers. Pep and Arteta better see this game as life and death, because it really is. Whoever wins this game will have a very important advantage for the title. I think both sides will play with a lot of control but won't want to settle for a draw either.

The match is indeed and unpredictable match, any team can win at any point. If you wanted to use the quality of the squad to make conclusions, you will realize that they both have similar qualities likewise the two coaches too. Real Madrid can only be ahead of Manchester City because of Real Madrid has won more Champions League than Man City and with the nature experience players they both have, that alone cannot count Man City out.
In fact, all the quarterfinal matches will unpredictable and will contain good offset.

Barcelona will fall even more because the fans seem to believe that only them are entitled to good performance. How many coaches can perform the magic Xavi did with that poor squad ?

Young players, injury laden squad and little to 0 squad depth, yet the fans have ousted the coach with so many pressures on and off the pitch.

Success is not built in a year, if Barcelona don’t retrace their steps; they are going to be on the Manchester United Dilemma in couple of years to come

Roma’s good form cannot be overemphasised as they’ve become one of the best team in Serie A since they had a new manager that took over the affairs of the club after Jose Mourinho’s departure. This has helped them in the Serie A to maintain a good position in the standings and also stand a chance to finish in the top four of the league this season. Their good form has also gave them an opportunity to still remain in the Europa League and standing there as a strong contender for the Europa League title this season. Let’s see what De Rossi can accomplish in the club this first season. Finishing in the top four position of the Serie A or winning the Europa League trophy this season will be a big accomplishment for the club and the coach.

Well, I have seen that Brazil has not been playing very well in the last few games, they have been losing against teams that I did not believe could win, in fact, they have the best players they have in Europe, they have young promises, and it is presumed that there are one who is told that he is Pelé's successor, but the truth is I don't see him with those eyes, I don't see him doing things as such to deserve that, however now the Brazilian team is in crisis, I think it's also because he has many of his players who have not had much action, among them Neymar, because in the last game that was with Colombia they lost, sometimes this is something that does not look very good.

In fact, it is presumed, it is not certain that Pep Guardiola can lead this team on the way to the World Cup, he is between San Marino and a couple of other teams that are interested in Pee's services, honestly this would change the face of the Brazilian team.

Losing money is no fun.  While gambling can be entertaining, the term "fun" shouldn't mask the inherent risk of financial loss.  Imagine the emotional turmoil of watching your money dwindle instead of enjoying the game.

The cycle of chasing losses is a fascinating point.  The hope of "winning back" what you've lost fuels further gambling, often leading to even greater financial depletion.  This highlights the psychological aspect of gambling and why it can be addictive for some.

The distinction between knowing when to stop and actually doing it is crucial.  Understanding your limits and sticking to them is essential for responsible gambling. The danger of using borrowed money to gamble is a valid concern.  Gambling should only be done with money you can comfortably afford to lose.  The potential for financial ruin makes using borrowed funds a recipe for disaster.

The friendly match between Nigeria and Ghana ended in 2-1 in favor of Super Eagles. It was just a beautiful start that Finidi George had his ways of coaching the Super Eagles to be victorious in their first friendly match since the resignation of Jose Peseiro as head coach and Finidi George taking over as assistant coach to lead Super Eagles against Ghana and Mali in friendly matches.

One more match(Mali) to go to test Finidi George's proficiency as an assistant coach, as he has won a match for Super Eagles against Ghana, remaining Mali.

Alright, but would you had felt same way with so much of excitement if you had lost that last cash of yours using it to bet? Of course the answer would be a No. Maybe we should try losing at times with some gambling decisions we  make without recourse so that the consequence could ring a bell in our head that it wasn't worth it. It al starts with little things we regard as nothing for gambling to bigger things and that's when the addiction tension has grown big within us and that's how we see people ready to stake their house, cars and even land in gambling, it all starting from little things.

No way, do you expect an addict to quit fronting on his addictive behavior, he'll definitely lie and bottle it up. The healing work is on others to help the addict, as he, indeed needs it. Don't mind his strange action, it looks like he doesn't want to help hands. Neglecting them won't be the right choice, working on ways to help change the addict is better than watching him misbehave. While they listen to themselves alone, sooner they'll want to talk to somebody. Deep down, they'll try to save themselves from the attitude, since they personally got into addiction, their self-consciousness will make them believe it's possible to come out with nobody's help. I think that's the main purpose behind why they avoid helpers.

Due to their psychology being affected, they wouldn't make it out alone. That's why sometimes a gambler will decide to open up and reach out for help. Which remains the best time to help an addict. When he's in need of it because he wants it and is tired of the lifestyle. In your context is fine to give them a space. But, to some extent, it's risky, as their attitude can get worse when left unattended. Staying in touch with the gambler helps revive his brain towards changing. Addiction isn't interesting for anyone, seeing his acquittances talk to him, will make him think of being like his unaddicted friends. Sooner, he'd confide with them and seek for help. When neglected he may not try talking to anyone. Thereby stressing his brain, on saving himself.

Can gambling taxes be a source of revenue for development, or are they simply another tool for corrupt officials to enrich themselves? Imagine a scenario where a significant portion of this tax revenue gets diverted away from public services and into the pockets of a few.  Such a scenario would undermine the very purpose of taxation.

The concern about corruption in developing countries plagued by embezzlement is well-founded.  Without strong institutions and transparent governance, tax revenue can become a target for exploitation. However, dismissing taxation entirely throws away a potential source of income for public services.  This revenue could be used to improve education, healthcare, and infrastructure, benefiting everyone.

One thing that is certain is that Xabi Alonso will leave Leverkusen sooner or later, it is difficult to refuse an offer from a club as big as Bayern Munich or Liverpool. However, for now, Xabi Alonso target at Laverkusen has not been achieved, namely winning the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and Europa League trophies, so it makes sense why until now we have not heard any official news about his future. When the season ends and the transfer window opens, everything will look real, however, not a few people hope that Xabi Alonso will stay at Leverkusen until his contract ends.

Apart from that, I assume that Xabi Alonso future decisions really depend on how Leverkusen management sets the vision and mission for next season. One of the most influential is retaining their players and recruiting new players to compete in higher competition, namely the Champions League. If the club officials cannot grant this, in my opinion Xabi Alonso has the potential to leave Leverkusen. Before all that happens, we will of course first enjoy how many trophies Leverkusen can win this season.

Some Manchester United fans will say that, don't predict the result while the match is in progress but look at the result after the match ends. I think they have a point, especially because throughout this season Manchester United have managed to come back in the last minutes and they won the game in the end.

Regarding the match against Liverpool, I also said it was a great match for them. Manchester United played better at the end of the match and they really broke down Liverpool's mentality, who were also hoping to qualify for the semifinals. It was truly a performance we have rarely seen from Manchester United in a long time, so it was a performance that will be remembered by all fans. Jurgen Klopp and his players will certainly regret the result, but there is something more important to fight for and that is the Premier League and Europa League titles.

I can't believe how amazing La Masia actually is. I mean they had Pedri and Gavi before this so it was actually not a bad young squad, they had a few more and things looked to be great for them. But now? Now things are going pretty crazy actually. They have now Yamal as we all know and he is quite famous at this moment, but they have Balde as well who has been pretty decent but got injured unfortunately, Fermin Lopez seems to be doing alright as well and could be considered a future star if he is used a lot, and don't get me even started on Cubarsi, that kid played only a few games and the passes he is making from defense is elite level already.

I am so afraid that when Xavi leaves (and I think he shouldn't) then these kids may not get the attention they deserve. That's what happened to Barcelona last time, after Pep left, they didn't use La Masia much, and just bought players around Messi. This is why they are in debt, they should not do that, they should use these kids.

However, if they play in the final then it feels like normal moment because yes, it is normal moment for example if Real Madrid and Manchester City meet in the final. But yes, right now, what is really interesting is because they playing in the quarterfinals and of course, their meeting in the quarterfinals was very unexpected but they had to do it anyway. So, there will be one less title candidate team at this season because yes, Real Madrid or Manchester City this season can only reach the quarter-finals, of course Real Madrid and Manchester City will do their best effort because they both have the above qualities average, making it difficult to predict which of them will advance to the semifinals.

If the employee is not in charge of finances then I can leave him since gambling is a private thing and also it will becomes a problems if he gamble at work I will fire him, but if he only gamble at his free time, he can be free to gamble but I will make sure that I put him far from the company finances since I already know how gambling addicts behave with money.

But also I will not blame anyone for taking the action to fire a worker who seems to be uncontrolly addicted to gambling if it against their working ethics.

There is no other possibility than to finish in the top 4 for Juventus this season and that is quite realistic considering what they are currently experiencing.
The significant decline in performance that occurred in the second half of this season was a bit surprising, initially when they were unable to compete with Inter Milan and were increasingly behind in points from Inter Milan who were at the top of the standings, it made Juventus seem to have lost motivation to win the match, but if this continues So it will be very confusing for them now because Roma and Bologna are quite consistent so it could be dangerous for Juventus to finish in the top 4.

Gambling should be done during free times as it's a leisure activity that we do for fun and entrainment. If we take gambling to be a serious activity that we do for money we have gotten it wrong and that can lead to many problems as constantly losing of money and being addicted to gambling. As a gambler you should find time that you can use for gambling and not to mix it up with other activities that you're doing in life as your work or quality family time.

I always prefer gambling during the weekend as that's when I'll have time to gamble without being concerned of I'm using the time I was supposed to use for something else for gambling. Weekends are the days of the week that I'm free from office work and mostly have fun with my friends through watching of sport games and also gambling with playing other non gambling games to keep ourselves occupied.

I also don't think anyone will underestimate West Ham. I would like to remind that they were the winner of the Conference League title in the previous season. 

They take these tournaments really seriously. After especially seeing how Leverkusen struggled against Qarabag the last time this matchup seems likely to be quite competitive as well. Xabi Alonso has an incredible record this season. They are still unbeaten.    I'm really curious about whether West Ham will be able to put an end to this huge record if Leverkusen don't lose until then. West Ham have much more capable players than Qarabag so technically they are more likely on paper.

When it comes to my opinion on which one to advance I would still favour Leverkusen because of their much more convincing look. 

Let you look back at my post, I said if Aston Villa was a mediocre team when it was not coached by Unai Emery, even before Unai Emery coached Aston Villa in 2022, isn't Aston Villa just a team that ended the season at rank 17?

And at that time even they were only able to pick up 9 points from 11 games and were even lucky enough for them to stay in the premier because only a few more strips they would fall in the championship league at that time.

That's why I say if Unai Emey has brought wonders to the Aston Villa squad and even before Unai Emery came have you seen if Aston Villa at least entered the top 4 so far?
Yes, the changes that have occurred in Aston Villa cannot be separated from the modern football era, but it is not that easy for us to say they are a big team just because they are able to compete in the Conference League today, and if you say Aston Villa is a big team because they are in the third tier of European competition, then how can you call Westham who are now playing in the second tier of European competition?
I personally wouldn't underestimate Aston Villa because of Unay Emery's experience and even they are my favourites to win the Conference League this season guys.
