we are all sure and convinced that Napoli will win the scudetto, but will it really be like this? the first round is not finished yet and the whole second round is missing to play, there are many matches and unexpected events too! for me it is hasty to say that 100% Napoli will win the scudetto! I too would love to see Napoli win
Yes, they stand a very good chance of winning the Scudetto this seasons due to the qualities they have in the team. Also, the manager has found a way to be able to bring out a very attractive pattern of football in the Scudetto and in the champions' league which they currently sit at the top in both competition. It is obvious that they are gunning to finish the season in the same form they started considering they have one of the deadliest strikers in the competition and one of the top scorers in the Serie A. Trust in Napoli has increased when they have appeared very consistently, they have not even been beaten until now. Another thing is that they managed to have quite a difference in points from the second place, which is a difference of 8 points. This is the main capital for them to stay on the championship track with the advantages they have. Indeed, it is still very possible for them to make mistakes and give space to other teams to replace them, considering that they still have many matches to play. |

https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/cambio-estrategia-jong-80367335It looks like Frenkie de Jong will be staying at Barcelona. Because the source says that Barcelona are no longer interested in selling him. I was waiting for this to be honest. Because he started to be a regular member of the starting eleven again after Manchester United failed in their attempts to sign him last summer. The player himself wasn't even seeming eager to leave the team to join them either. I think he is happy now as well. Manchester United missed a really big opportunity. However Barcelona must have demanded 20 million euros more or something like that from them. It was a quite big difference to think over for Manchester United. Frenkie de Jong is a player Barcelona really needs right now, so I don't think Barcelona will be willing to sell him. In the last transfer market, it was also rumored that he would leave Barcelona and Manchester United were teams he was very close to, but Barcelona were not interested in letting him go. Especially if Barcelona sell him now, they don't have players who will be ready to replace him. So I think Frenkie de Jong will still be part of Barcelona for the next few seasons. |

Manchester United led by 2 goals from their guest Nottingham Forest. They scored 2 goals in 22 minutes of the match through Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. Judging from the way they play, it looks like Manchester United will win with a big advantage in this match. They continued to press the defense of Nottingham Forest and continued to try to add to their number of goals. It's been more than 33 minutes, I see something has changed in their game.

PSG has been doing very well in the Champions League this season. Coach Galtier has managed to stabilize the team's performance by solving the internal problems of the team. And more importantly, Neymar has not suffered any injuries this season. The trio of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe are playing very well. Hence, PSG's chances of winning the Champions League title this season are higher than in any previous season. Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar are in great form. It will be challenging for any team in the Champions League to beat PSG without these three players facing injuries.
To be honest, I haven't seen anything special from Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League, because in the group phase they didn't get opponents who were really at their level. Juventus? We all know how Juventus have performed this season, so I don't expect much from them. Benfica? Actually I see that Benfica is not better than PSG, but they can win the group. From there I see that Galtier has not been able to give an impressive appearance for Paris Saint Germain. |

Bayern Munich already has 4 key players on serious injuries but Freiburg in the other side is Fit. Knowing that football can produce any outcome at any time, I think Bayern still need much winning consistency to fence in their top flight in Bundesliga.
Even Bayern Munich has this 4 injured key players i have no doubt that the other players they have for this postions will doing a great job. If Freiburg keep playing as they have done it in the first half of the season they are for sure one canditate for the race about the title this year. There are still some other teams that also have the chance for if they have luck , and i guess Bayern Munich dont will win all games. Bayern Munich has quite good squad depth, which in my opinion at the Bundesliga level can still be relied on as second liners. For some reason, when I heard the name Bayern Munich, my trust in them was so high, maybe because they had dominated the Bundesliga for a long time. Their only visible competitor is Borussia Dortmund, unfortunately, Dortmund is currently in a condition that is not quite ready to compete with Bayern Munich. |

so facing Elche, I don't think it will be a barrier for Atletico to get the win.
I feel you are correct, Athletico madrid are having many problems this season, they have been eliminated from the champions league and are in fifth position in the La Liga table, i would not trust them to beat a big team these days, but against Elche that are 20th in the La Liga table and have won no match in the La Liga this season, drawing just 4 and losing 10, they have also conceded 31 goals this season and have only scored 10, surely Athletico Madrid are going to beat them, i cannot doubt that. They should, because on paper they have an advantage over their current opponents. If they lose the match against Elche then it will be a real threat to Diego Simeone, because perhaps the pressure to immediately sack and replace him with a new coach will be heard more and more. Elche is not a strong opponent for them, so I think it will be a win for Atletico Madrid, even if by a narrow score. |

The Barcelona team is now most exposed to La Liga. They are currently at the top of La Liga. Barcelona's unfortunate exit from the Champions League. Their main target now is to win the La Liga title, if they fail to win the La Liga title, it will have some adverse effect on their team.
If Barcelona fail to get a trophy in La Liga, Barcelona can still get another trophy this season in the Europa League. However, Barcelona clearly has to focus more on La Liga because they are already at the top of the standings, although not too far from Real Madrid, who are still Barcelona's rivals. Because Real Madrid will certainly focus more on two competitions at the moment and one of them is La Liga. So Barcelona needs to be aware of this if they want a trophy in La Liga this season. In the Europa League they won't necessarily get a trophy, because even here the competition will be very tight, moreover they have to get rid of Manchester United first to move on to the next round. This is a very difficult thing to do. Maybe it's true, Real Madrid will focus on 2 more prestigious competitions at once, but as we know that Real madrid is a team that can deal with situations like this with their vast experience. |

The initial match at the opening of Serie A Juventus was in the problem of changing coaches and of course Massimiliano Allegri had to really overhaul the previous squad with youth squads, what we currently see is that Juventus players are filled with young players, of course it takes time to adapt to the renovations a very big one, that's why Juventus appeared inconsistent at the start of the season, but when Massimiliano Allegri had found a scheme in implementing the formation that is currently filled in the squad, it was enough for Juventus to face the currently superior team at the top of the standings. .
Allegri was quite successful in getting Juventus back to winning ways, as well as saving him from threats that had been heard when Juventus were down he would be sacked. Now that several important Juventus players have returned one by one, it should be easier for Allegri to implement the desired strategy. The reason is that when they were down, one of the reasons that was heard a lot was that Juventus had lost many players due to injury. |

Liverpool must be able to get 3 points against Aston Villa if they want to open up opportunities to be in the top fourth standing position, actually still not loss yet opportunity in Primer League tittle race for Liverpool in this season although behind 15 points left from Arsenal, consistency performance may help Liverpool back to be compete team for Primer League trophy.
Except the teams in Top Four loose the form they started in this season, I don't see this season as the season for Liverpool to even finish top four. If Liverpool gains consistency in their results and other teams are also consistent, the effort of Liverpool will still mean nothing. I am excited about the boxing day fixtures, good to have the EPL back! Rooting for Arsenal like I have always did, looking to see how we will manage without Gabriel Jesus until we are able to get Mudryk in January to take Martinelli to the forward. I believe that we will still win against West Ham. For the chance to finish in the top 4, Liverpool's chances are still wide open, but back to themselves, if they are able to show something even better then they will widen the opportunities of course while waiting for the team that is now entering. that place to slip up too in some of their matches. Liverpool themselves are now in a difficult situation, because they will most likely play their first match without some of their main players. |

Previously, what problem did Lewandowski have that caused him to be suspended for 3 matches? I haven't heard any news about him today. The away match against Atletico Madrid will certainly be a crucial match considering that Barcelona must win this match if Real Madrid does not want to shift its position at the top of the standings.
Lewandowski has been suspended for 3 matches for insulting or disrespecting the referee. This he got when Barcelona visited Osasuna headquarters in their 14th week. The Spanish football federation considered the actions taken by the Polish national player to be excessive and disrespectful to the referee who led the match, so this suspension was given to him. Lewandowski himself denied that his actions were directed at the referee, but still the appeal that was made did not result in the decision to sanction him being revoked. Lewandowski will have a huge impact on the team as he misses three of Barcelona's matches. Because he is the only Barcelona team's best striker whose finishing is extraordinary. He scored some great goals after joining the Barcelona team and helped Barcelona to victory. It remains to be seen how the coach of the Barcelona team will fill Lewandowski's place in these three matches. Lewandowski's absence will certainly affect the performance of Barcelona's front line. However, there is still hope that the player Xavi Hernandez will play later can actually replace Lewandowski's role. We'll see in the match later, whether the player who will replace Lewandowski can answer the coach's trust or not. Actually, what happened to Lewandowski could have been avoided, but sometimes emotions on the field are very difficult to control. |

I haven't heard the latest news regarding Ronaldo's move is it true that Al nassr canceled their plan to sign him? I read local media published 1 hour ago
It seems that Ronaldo will continue to be a conversation in the upcoming transfer market, usually clubs from the American League always come at the last minute
I don't think Al Nassr will withdraw their bid for him; they're still working hard to sign him to their club. Ronaldo has not issued an official statement on the matter, but his camp has confirmed it. Ronaldo appears to be hoping that big clubs in Europe will still come after him. If Ronaldo does not receive an offer before the January transfer window closes, he will make a last-minute decision to sign Al Nassr. Ronaldo is old enough now. No Premier League club will be interested in signing Ronaldo now. Bayern Munich is likely to sign Ronaldo for 1/2 season. Because Munich needs an experienced finisher. I think Ronaldo is waiting for an offer from Munich. But I think Ronaldo should join Al Nassr now. Al Nassr management is ready to provide good enough wages. The problem is that wages are not Cristiano Ronaldo's only goal, he still has the ambition to play in a popular and competitive league. If Cristiano Ronaldo's main goal is money, then he will accept the offer that Al Nassr put forward a long time ago. Until now he has not responded to the offer made by Al Nassr to him, meaning that there is hope that he will likely join the Arab League team, but he is still waiting for teams that are competing in Europe and will soon make his choice. |

Bayern has a good strategy by buying the most important player from another club. That will make the opponent need to change their formation as one of best player has gone to the competitor's club. Bayern has a very good squad too that was supporting club to perform so well and dominating the league for so many years. Bayern munich can do the best about that. bayern has been aiming some important players from dortmund too. This will make dortmund has no chance to win against bayern.
bayern is always experimenting with the new players that came to the club.
dortmund is a team that always produces players with potential, buys cheap then sells at fantastic prices, that's what dortmund always does so far, while bayern always buys players they think have great potential and makes their team stronger not only in the bundesliga class but in class international. And Borussia Dortmund is a team that has sold a lot of players to Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich benefited slightly because of their rival's habit of selling quality players, so that resulted in Borussia Dortmund being unstable from season to season. They almost never maintain the great players they create and prefer to sell their players. This is of course a distinct advantage for Bayen Munich with the actions taken by its rival. |

Since the round of 16 will take place over two leg, it is difficult to guess which team between them will qualify for the next round considering PSG and Bayern Munich are teams that have equally good strengths. In terms of chances, I have the same view as you that Paris Saint Germain has a greater chance of going to the next round than Bayern Munich.
Of course what I say is not a reference because anything can happen when the match is played for both leg.
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is injured which is a major drawback for the team. PSG is seeing its players like Messi and Mbappe in their best performance this season which should push the chances of PSG a lot. It is quite difficult to guess the winner since Bayern could trash their opponents quite easily whenever they are playing good but I guess PSG will not let them do that the Barca way  I think Bayern Munich's absence in the match should not be a reason why Bayern Munich is not more favored in the match. They still have time to bring in a goalkeeper who will replace Manuel Neuer. What's more, they are currently moving so actively with rumors of several very high-quality goalkeepers. The round of 16 starts in mid-February, so there is still plenty of time for them to find a suitable replacement for Manuel Neuer. |

AC Milan will be the first top 3 team to run the first matchday after the break against Salernitana. Even though this will be their away game, but their current opponent is a team that isn't much stronger than them, so I have a feeling they will have an easy win in this one. Salernitana, who will be their opponent, is in 12th place with 17 points, in my opinion there is no other advantage that stands out from them apart from being the host in this match.

Barcelona vs Manchester United match has now become the main object of Europa League discussion. But I still have little fear for clubs like PSV, Roma, bayern leverkusen, midtjylland and Monaco. This clubs are doing well in their league but their chances of winning their league is much quite narrow compared to their chances of winning the Europa League, for that they might show much more curiosity in winning Europa league matches than clubs like Barcelona and Arsenal. Therefore one should not underrate them in Europa league matches.
I think that just because barcelona and arsenal have big name and then you will be underestimated another club like think barcelona will be winning europa league easily. don't you remember once barcelona has also become favourite team last season but frankfurt was beating it easily? I think that even arsenal didn't have big chance to win this trophy easily. The arsenal was not capable to win caused by there are so many underrated team play in europa league. PSV was doing very well in the domestic league. It is very natural when you see the favorites to win the Europa League from the status of the "big" team they have. I think everyone will do the same when 2 teams meet between a popular team and a not so popular team even though they are playing very well in the domestic league. In the end, they are the ones who decide for themselves whether favorite status can bring them victory or not. |

I noticed things are slightly different at Barcelona to how it was for Lewandowski at Bayern Munich. At Bayern munich he had enough support from his team mates, I must say I am a little bit surprised at his performance level at Barcelona, at the age of 34 I expected a decline in performance but he has managed to keep up and still scoring many goals this season. Barcelona can do much better if Usman Dembele and Raphinha can step up their game and make more contributions.
I agree with you, and still they have managed to be on Top 1 in La Liga. They are playing at the expected level, put they could perform better and settle a difference in points between then and Real Madrid if they coordinated more their game. But this way is also good, as there will be a fierce competition between both teams also. His great interest in playing for Barcelona gives him more enthusiasm in my opinion, so he quickly gives his best for Barcelona. In the last season's transfer market, we saw how determined Lewandowski was to leave for Barcelona. It's something to appreciate what Lewandowski has given to Barcelona, even though it hasn't made any achievements for them, but his appearance gives a lot of hope to give something valuable. |

As reported by Transfermarkt, there are several rumors regarding the future of Adrien Rabbiot in the next season and several clubs from the EPL seem to be interested in signing him. There's Manchester United, Arsenal and Spurs? I think if he comes to Arsenal he will only be on the bench, whereas going to Man united or spurs it could be a good option for the midfield of the team. What do you think?
Rabiot's contract extension dilemma has hit a dead end so far. The mother of Rabiot as well as his agent wants Juventus to pay 10 million euros per year for his contract extension. But on the other hand, Juventus actually want to renew Rabiot's contract with the option of reducing his salary. Meanwhile, Allegri wants Rabiot to be maintained, but instead Juventus are still reluctant to agree to the wishes of Rabiot's mother who asks for 10 million per year. He will most likely leave in the near future if he doesn't get what he wants. I think the best way for him is to leave Juventus, because he also has the right to have what he wants. Because hearing that Juventus want a smaller salary than before is something that I think is hard for a player. No matter how royal the players are, they also get their rights. I think Manchester United are more suitable for Rabbiot now. |

If Mbappe leaves psg the type of glory he has in the club may not be given him by any other club. I will think that he will want to remain where he is the boss and where he will take part in decision making of the club.
But it will be a shame to Mbappe, Neymar and Messi if they fail again this year to reach the Champions league finals.
Psg has invested much and they deserve to win.
But actually that's very good, regardless of any condition Mbappe in Ligue 1 actually has more authority which makes them really hampered. When he is at a club that treats him like a player in general and when the club has high competitive conditions in every game, this is actually a very good thing to take care of mentally and hone his players to be even better. But the problem is I still feel that no one will dare to do that now, especially with the high release clause and the very large salary it is clear that it will be difficult for him to leave. The question is how brave is Mbappe to get out of his comfort zone? Maybe for the matter of redemption from Paris Saint Germain it will be a matter that belongs to Paris Siant Germain and the team that wants it. But for wages, Mbappe could get a deal, provided he wants to get out of his current comfort zone. Like Ronaldo, for example, who doesn't mind salary as long as he plays for a team that plays in Europe. |

With man city win yesterday the cup will be now one of their main objectives, they eliminated two of the contenders in two games which will make it easier for them i doubt the remaining teams will be able to stop them and am saying it after seeing how good they played yesterday despite the small win i think they were much better than liverpool.
Of all the finalists in this round, only Manchester United and Manchester City have a high chance of becoming champions. And in comparison, Manchester City has a bigger chance than Manchester United. this will be a competition between the Manchester duo for who is more deserving of becoming the champion later. Almost of the 2 opponents they faced looked like they would be easy to beat in this round. |

I believe that Benzema has two options i.e. try to find a new club and hope to secure one last big pay, or take a pay cut and stay at Madrid as a striker who’ll play from the bench for the 2023 - 2024 season. Furthermore Real Madrid have shown the door to Casillas, Ronaldo despite their legendary status, hence it’s only a matter of time before Benzema is shown the door too.
I hope instead that he recovers, he seems a little down in tone and also down in morale I don't understand what happened to him, he's very far from the shape of months ago (mental and physical) benzema is very nice to me, with Real Madrid, Benzema won numerous trophies, including 4 Spanish Liga championships and 4 Copa del Rey! is a rock Karim Benzema has been a blessing for Real Madrid. After Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema has led the Real Madrid team forward. Real Madrid has won many titles since Karim Benzema feat. Karim Benzema is really a great player, Karim Benzema is greatly missed by football fans in this World Cup. It's a shame we didn't see him play for France in the World Cup. If he can play then the competition will be even more interesting at that time, especially in the final match against Argentina. Since many players who have brought success to Real Madrid have left, Karim Benzema has become one of the players who can bring success to Real Madrid in La Liga and the Champions League. He also won the Ballon D'oR last season. |
