ICC Cricket World Cup Warm-up 8th match pits Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan. Afghanistan team is bowling at the beginning of today's match. The Afghanistan bowlers, despite picking up two wickets from the Sri Lankan team, are yet to make any major impact on the Sri Lankan batsmen. Sri Lanka batsman Kushal Mendis is in great form in this match. Kushal Mendis has so far scored 94 runs off 56 balls. Kushal Mendis will get a century if he can collect only 6 runs. Now let's see how much Kushal Mendis can finally score with the bat for the Sri Lankan team. Sri Lanka's team score so far is 116-2(16.5), runs
In today's match, Sri Lanka batted exceptionally well. Afghanistan bowling line is very strong but Afghanistan bowling line is not looking good today. Sri Lanka's opening batting Dimuth Karunaratne and Pathum Nissanka were not very good. Kusal Mendis batted like T20 format in today's match, I was surprised by his batting, scored 158 runs in 87 balls with a strike rate of 180+. Kusal Mendis seemed to score a double century in today's match but the retd hurt. So far, Sri Lanka have collected 245 runs in 31 overs with the loss of 2 wickets. Now there are 19 overs left, if the wickets are not under pressure then they can target 400+ runs. Sri Lanka's chances of winning today's match are very high.
Mendis shows his power against the world's top spin attack. Surprisingly, the spinners aren't getting much advantage on these pitches. Kusal Mendis showcased an incredible performance, scoring 158 runs off 87 balls against Afghanistan in the warm-up game. Sri Lankan batsmen are performing exceptionally well, and it seems they are on heading to get a big total.

Sri Lanka's performance makes me laugh. I did not watch the match live. Because I was enjoying the Australia vs. Pakistan warm-up match. Even then I was checking the scoreboard of this match after some time. I saw Sri Lanka score 230 runs, and then they lost 2 wickets. Probably not even 30 overs are over then. And the interesting thing is that Sri Lanka has lost 10 wickets and set a target of just 295 runs.
.
After the dismissal of Kushal Mendis, no other player could play big innings. The total collection of the last 5 batsmen of the Sri Lankan squad was only 7 runs. The way Sri Lanka started their innings, the team should have given away a target of at least 340. Sri Lanka's lower order batted like fools.
I was quite surprised when I saw the scoreboard. Sri Lanka, starting strong at 257/2, somehow ended at 294/10 against Afghanistan in the warm-up match. This batting collapse is a cause for concern and needs immediate attention. Although they seemed on track for a 400+ score, everything changed after Kushal Mendis got out. The Afghan bowlers, particularly Mohammad Nabi, showed great skills and took four crucial wickets. Afghan batters responded confidently. It was indeed an impressive comeback by the Afghan side.

It seems that Real Madrid will win easily even though they are playing away from home, Napoli doesn't look good so I don't think this match can be a draw, but there will definitely be one who gets full points in this match, because Napoli is not competitive in several matches here.  Serie A, of course Real Madrid will take advantage of this, and the Real Madrid coach knows very well how the Seie A League plays, so in my opinion this match will benefit Real Madrid.
This is the Champions League which is sometimes always difficult to conclude because on the one hand Napoli will play against Real Madrid at home with very good awareness that Napoli will play very well and also carefully. Because Napoli knows that this time's opponent is a very good team so Napoli will try to excel in today's match, as well as Real Madrid who will try to get full points at home to Napoli and today's match will not be taken lightly and easily by Real Even though Madrid is always good when competing in the Champions League.
UCL action resumes tonight, and it promises another exciting battle. Real Madrid, the Champions League KING, are always strong contenders. Napoli, aiming for their first victory, seem underrated considering their historical head-to-head record. In their last two matches, Napoli hasn't secured a win, while Madrid secured win both times. Today's clash between Serie A topper Napoli vs Champions League powerhouse, Real Madrid.

Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first. Due to rain the warm-up match against England reduced to 37 overs. After playing 37 overs Bangladesh set a decent score of 188/9 against England in this ODI World Cup 2023 warm-up. Their batting performance could have been mush better if other batters played apart Tanzid Hasan and Mehidy Hasan. Now, it's up to the bowlers to defend this total against the English batters.

Inter Miami seems very difficult to improve their position in the MSL standings, so far they are still in the bottom two and their target is to reach the top 9 there is still a long way to go
Tomorrow Inter Miami will face New York City, after reportedly being injured and not defending his team in several previous matches, Lionel Messi is rumored to be returning to play in this match, and without his presence it seems that Inter Miami is indeed experiencing serious obstacles to winning, but injuries are difficult for players to avoid, especially when facing tight match and also a tight schedule.
It happened exactly as predicted. Inter Miami is helpless without Messi. The current condition of the team is not in good position until we can see Messi in the Miami team. If we look at the results of the last four matches Inter Miami have drawn two matches and won one and lost the other. Without Messi, their matches are becoming incomprehensible. Even if Messi doesn't score in the team, there is no doubt about the motivation he does. They hold the 13th position in their current standings with 33 points. According to their target, the ninth position team has 37 points. Although the points gap is small, the competition is very competitive. Meanwhile, three teams hold 37 points. So it's going to be tough for them to rich ninth in Miami's target.
Messi-less Inter Miami had a close call, equalizing in the 95th minute against NYC to maintain their play-off hopes. Initially, I believed that Messi brought a winning mindset to Miami, but I was mistaken. Despite having other talented players like Busquets and Jordi Alba, Miami seems more formidable when Messi graces the pitch. His absence is notable, his magic and winning spirit are dearly missed. To stay competitive, the club should diversify their talent pool and not solely rely on Messi.

Many people loss their prediction in this match, because they believe on what Cadiz players can do in any competition but they allowed Atletico Madrid to equalized the goals 2-2 in 46 minutes to reduced the strength of Cadiz in their home. It was another great moved in the second half that made Atletico Madrid coach to make some changes that made their players to turned the match to 3-2 to defeated Cadiz to embrace the three points and also caused a heavy celebration in the stadium. Real Madrid players really listen to their coach in this match to work in unity to achieved their three points, which is the problem Real Madrid strikers are facing in this new season that is making their position not to be stable.

For those who make bets when the match takes place, especially after seeing Cadiz take the lead, they will definitely try to bet on Cadiz but if they have placed bets long before the league starts, they will definitely be on Ateltico. But indeed 2 Cadiz goals are quite surprising especially their opponent is Atletico where they are much better.

Although in the end the victory was still owned by Atletico who had been believed from the beginning and Simeone who was still confident in his current strategy but fell behind 2 goals first I think it was an inevitable surprise.
In the first half I also felt so tense and almost couldn't believe it when I saw the Atletico Madrid defenders being passed so easily by the Cadiz players. I even thought Cadiz's first goal was very classy. And the second goal was a goal that showed how weak Atletico Madrid's defense was. J. Oblak actually made the decision too quickly to move forward. So Roger could trick him very easily because the goal position was unguarded. All of this could happen because perhaps the Atletico Madrid players underestimated Cadiz a little in the first half. Because after that we can see that Atletico Madrid can return to their usual, much better game. The 2 goals scored by Cadiz were truly surprising. And surely everyone who bets on Atletico Madrid must feel the same way. But finally we can breathe a sigh of relief because the match ended with Atletico Madrid winning.
WHat a wonderful game! LaLiga this season is on fire! Morata, Griezmann, Correa, and all the Atletico players are in top form. Atlético de Madrid showed an incredible comeback to defeat Cádiz. Correa's outstanding performance, scoring twice, was key in sealing the comeback.

However, it's a bit of a letdown when these exciting moments happen on days when I haven't placed any bets!

I comprehend the challenge of playing with only nine players and managing to narrow the goal deficit to just one. However, avoiding red cards is also a testament to playing smartly. I trust that Klopp can instill a sense of caution in the players to reduce such incidents. These situations consistently put a team in a precarious position, making it tough to secure a victory or even salvage a draw.

Liverpool finished the match with 9 men due to two red cards, but they fought well against Tottenham. The second red card came in the 69th minute. The match was extended for 6 minutes. So, Liverpool played with 9 men for 27 minutes against a strong team like Tottenham and almost didn't give any clear goal chances. I think they played well and they came very close to getting a point from this game but in some matches big teams can have such misfortunes and I think Liverpool had such a day... On the other hand, Heung Min Son continues to play great football. After Harry Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich, he became Tottenham's most important player. I think he will have better stats this season...
Liverpool truly got the short end of the stick. I can't say anything about the referee, but they'll surely recover from this setback. Liverpool vs Spurs match was an utter mess. It's a bit comforting that it happened against Spurs, who have been performing well this season. Tottenham Hotspur secured the victory, but Liverpool's gameplay left an impression on me.

Luca Modric's age is no longer young, so Ancelotti has to be smart in utilizing the qualities that Luca Modric has and it is very natural that Luca Modric doesn't play regularly anymore. It cannot be denied that Luca Modric's performance has really declined and so far in my opinion Ancelotti have taken the right steps, namely rotating players for central positions so that there can be regeneration when Luca Modric is no longer in the Real Madrid team.
It is indeed possible for Luca Modric to extend his contract again with Real Madrid and this player is still really needed, but now there are many rumors circulating that Luca Modric is not happy to sit on the bench and he is starting to be rumored with several Arab teams and also MLS teams.
Luca Modric felt he is still useful for Real Madrid and he wanted to stay in Europe within top teams in top leagues that's why he extended his contract but he is already aware Real Madrid attitude with old players. Whatever the names, Real Madrid will find other younger players as replacement and so on.
Modric days aren't over yet and he has to evaluate his performance and chances to remain or not as essential player there by the winter or next summer transfer window.
Croatian star, Modric, has already agreed to extend his contract with Madrid until June 2024, showcasing his affection for the club. Madrid values his athletic abilities, but things can shift. As he's aging, the club is eyeing younger replacements. It might be an apt moment for him to move on, and allowing the young talents at Real Madrid a chance to shine. Clubs in Saudi Arabia or MLS could be potential destinations, given their inclination towards European top players.

Míchel Sánchez the coach of Girona said he has the dream of winning Real Madrid.

But the fact is that Girona really couldn't do it. Joselu, Tchouaméni and Bellingham have put Real Madrid 0-3 up at the moment and I don't see any chance for Girona to score 3 goals during injury time. Girona must accept defeat in this match and must allow Real Madrid to claim the top position from them, meaning that Real Madrid really deserves it.

Barcelona, ​​who hosted Sevilla, also managed to win even though they had difficulty scoring goals. But something detrimental happened to Raphinha, I mean he had to get injured before the end of the first half. This will certainly make Lamine Yamal the main choice in Xavi's squad, but he could also be rotated with Ferran Torres.
Real Madrid managed to reclaim the top of the La Liga standings by collecting 21 points, Girona dropped to third place after losing 3-0 and had to admit Madrid dominance. Girona received a natural first defeat, because Madrid had better squad depth than them. Now only Barcelona is unbeaten in 8 matches in La Liga, and is in second place in the standings.

Jude Bellingham leads the temporary top scorer list with 6 goals, he is developing well and his adaptation is progressing quickly. I think Ancelotti is very happy with Bellingham goal productivity which continues to increase, then Los Blancos will visit Napoli headquarters with confidence after beating Girona in a promising manner.

Girona has definitely shown good performance so far. But I have to say that the loss against Real Madrid was kind of expected. People just give them a chance because Real Madrid was not scoring as many goals as they should have. But I think we can safely say that Real Madrid actually kind of destroyed them in this match. But actually I am still going to say that the performance from Real Madrid attacking lineup needs to improve. I have heard that Real Madrid is interested in bringing in Son from Tottenham. Might be a really good decision actually. They should just forget about Mbappé at this point.
Absolutely deserved, although a surprise initially as Girona had two major chances in the opening 5 minutes. But gradually, Real Madrid took control of the game. They handed Girona their first defeat of the season, won by 3-0. This victory lead Madrid back to the top of LaLiga, with a single-point lead over Barcelona and two points over Girona. If Madrid focuses on strategic signings, particularly in the attacking and full-back positions, they could become an unstoppable force. Of-course they can forget about Mbappe.

It was indeed extraordinary to see that Lautaro Martinez was able to score so many goals in this match. And with this goal, Lautaro Martinez is the current top scorer with 9 goals in 7 matches. Followed by Osimhen who scored 5 goals in 7 matches.

In the match against Sassuolo L. Martinez actually also played well. It's just that he didn't have many good opportunities at that time. Or maybe because Sassuolo is tighter in defense. But in the match against Salernitana we could see that Lautaro Martinez was not closely guarded. That right is what allows him to move freely and score lots of goals.
Martinez has been quite productive this season, overall he has scored 10 goals in all competitions. The opportunity to become top scorer is very big this season, Martinez is at the right club so it supports him to score goals in every game. Yes, Osimhen experienced a slight decline after being injured at the start of the season, I think the two of them will compete closely if they don't move in January.

Martinez increase in goal productivity put Inter Milan as the club that scored the most goals, and on the other hand, Inter only conceded 3 goals in 7 matches. Thus, Inter is superior in every aspect to Milan, Juventus and Napoli. I think Inter will win the Scudetto at the end of the season if we refer to its current performance.

Indeed, Lautaro Martinez showcased an extraordinary performance, ensuring Inter's position at the top of Serie A.
But when he was subbed on in the 55th minute with the game tied at 0-0 against Salernitana, he scored four goals in just 35 minutes, leading Inter to a 4-0 victory. As it stands, Lautaro Martinez holds the top scorer title in Serie A so far. Although Osimhen's performance has slightly decline due to an injury. Here's hoping Osimhen slowly regains his form and continues to shine.

AL Hilala Riyad moved to the top of the points table with a 2-0 win over Al Shabab. Although Neymar missed the penalty, Al Hilal's players played brilliantly in the second half. Even after missing the penalty, there is no way to say that Neymar's performance was poor. He played well enough. Al Hilal management have added star players like Mitrovic, Neymar and Koulibaly to the squad by spending a lot of money. They are able to perform quite well. We haven't seen many good performances from AL Hilal in the last season. They were 13 points behind the champion team Ittihad. This season, the difference in points may not be so big. And Al Hilal has the potential to become the champion if they maintain such consistency.
Al Hilal returned to the top of the Saudi Pro League standings in the eighth week, because Al Ittihad drew against Al Feiha. Even though they were almost equal in terms of ball possession, statistically Al Hilal dominated with 23 shots on goal, 8 of which were on target. Yes, even though he failed to execute the penalty, Neymar played quite well and had the highest rating. It is true that if they consistently get points, Al Hilal will be one of the clubs with the greatest chance of winning a trophy at the end of the season.

Absolutely! Even though Neymar missed a penalty, his contribution was crucial with two assists. These assists were instrumental in Al Hilal's victory, therefore they reaches top with 20 points after eight matches. It's important for Al Hilal to maintain this level of consistency throughout the season if they for winning a trophy at the end of the season.

I didn't expect that the first half would end with a score of 3-0, Brighton's back line defense was not what it used to be, it was very vulnerable and really easy for the opponent to penetrate. Aston Villa enjoyed each of their quick goals with full ambition. I never expected a game like this from Brighton but for their performance in the first half they clearly deserved it. Ollie Watkins was the hero in this match, and the third goal is difficult to say.

Second half can Brighton reverse it? At a minimum, they have to reduce their lag.
Nice performance from Aston Villa,  so surprising they will be able to play Brighton with several goals it wasn't never expected from Aston Villa.  Watkins was the man of the game for Aston Villa, he was able to score 2 goals . Brighton had much confidence of winning the game but they couldn't match to the  strength of their opponent.

  Aston Villa dominated the game that was so difficult for Brighton to penetrate to get opportunity to score,  the game was interesting because the result was never expected. I wasn't expecting up to 6 goals from Aston Villa against Brighton.
Absolutely! Aston Villa showed an outstanding performance today. Scoring six goals against Brighton is quite remarkable. In the Premier League, you never know what to expect; it's always full of surprises. Brighton seemed to struggle under the pressure, especially losing two consecutive home matches against Aston Villa is indeed embarrassing.

In the opening match of the week, we saw an important game, Barcelona hosted Sevilla. Since both teams had a Champions League match during the week, I guess they moved this match early. Of course Barcelona was the favorite as they were the hosts, but we can say that Sevilla plays at a more serious level in such matches. The only goal in the match was an own goal by Sergio Ramos. Barcelona won the match with this goal and got an important win. I think Sevilla will get better in the future.

Barcelona actually played decent in this match. But in my opinion, Sevilla was really unlucky to lose this one. They had shown good attacking in this match. It was really unlucky that Sergio Ramos actually ended up scoring an own goal. Otherwise, they definitely could have got one point from this match.
In my opinion, Sevilla was good enough to be able to withstand the aggressive play of Xavi's squad, even though they had to suffer an own goal, but overall without this goal Barcelona couldn't do anything other than share the points. Not being able to score a goal for Barcelona was clearly very negative because of Barcelona's total of 18 shots, only 4 were on target. This victory was considered lucky for Barcelona which brought them back to the top of the standings. Xavi must immediately carry out an evaluation after this match because without a goal is a little less good for a club like Barcelona whose players are more stable than Sevilla.
Lamine Yamal stood out as Xavi's team defeated Sevilla in a LaLiga match, with an own goal by Sergio Ramos that lift up Barcelona to the top of the table. It was an unfortunate moment for Ramos, but these things happen in football. Sevilla is a strong opponent, yet they faced the misfortune of an own goal. Barcelona's victory wasn't a stroke of luck; they played a superior game though. However, there's room for improvement in their performance, particularly in their finishing.

The Sri Lankan team performed very well from the start but the Bangladesh team could not keep the bowling under pressure. Sri Lanka's Pathum Nissanka started the only good try. Mahedi Hasan of Bangladesh team threw the ball towards Sri Lanka and succeeded in getting 3 wickets which is one of the best for Bangladesh team. Mahedi Hasan gave 29 runs in just 8 overs, then the performance was very good for me. If the other bowlers could have performed well then surely the Sri Lankan team would not have scored more runs.
Bangladeshi bowlers are being punished by the Sri Lankan top order bastmen hundred run partnership between 2 openers 103/0. First warm up match between Sirlanka and Bangladesh is playing. Sirlinka bat first and Scoring very well. Shakib is not playing the 1st Warm-up game today due to his Ankle Injury and is doubtful for the 2nd Warm-up and the first WC match against Afghanistan as well. I think its a big concern for Bangladesh. An excellent fightback from the Bangladeshi bowlers 226/6 in 45th Overs. Sirlinka will Go to 270 plus total for Bangladesh.
I thought I would see a big score in this match. Because the Sri Lankan team played very well in the first wicket pair. Perhaps the first wicket they collected in the pair. 104 runs. Their run rate was also very good. But soon they started losing wickets. And their batting slows down. In the end, Sri Lanka managed to collect 263 runs.

Sri Lanka's main problem in this World Cup is their weak batting. The performance of any batsman in the squad is not regular. I don't think this team will win any match if they perform like this. Pathum Nissanka scored 68 and Silva scored 55 runs. Mehdi bowled very well for Bangladesh. He took three wickets.

After seeing Sri Lanka's batting in the first 10 overs, I thought that the team will give more than 300 targets in this match. But Sri Lanka's innings stopped at 263 runs. I would say Silva is the only one in the Sri Lankan squad who is capable of consistently performing well. Besides, every batsman's performance is erratic.

Bangladeshi bowlers have done very well on the Indian pitch. The batsmen also got off to a good start. Tanzid and Liton are opening the Bangladesh team today. At the end of 8 overs, Bangladesh collected 43 runs without losing any wicket. Quite a good collection. The main problem of the Bangladesh team is the poor performance of their opening pair. Big innings we don't usually see from Bangladesh's opening pair. If Bangladesh's two openers can do well in the World Cup, the team may win several matches.
Yes the Sri Lankan cricket team was in possession from the start of the game till 14 overs. But later the Sri Lankan team players slowly lost control of the game. Sri Lankan cricket team players Pathar Nishka and Dhananjaya de silva performed slightly well in batting but rest of the players did not perform well. Pathar Nishka and Dhananjaya de Silver runs set Bangladesh cricket team a target of 264 runs as Sri Lanka cricket team. I think Bangladesh cricket team has a chance to win today's match. Now if, the batsmen of Bangladesh cricket team can perform well in the second innings game, batting. Then Bangladesh can easily win today's match against Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka went from 114/0 to 263/10, a significant fall.

Bangladeshi bowlers demonstrated a great performance today, giving them a good chance to win today's match. Bangladesh needs 264 runs to get victory. The opening partnership of 100+ runs has set a good start. Despite losing Liton's wicket, Tanzid and Mehedy are playing with confidence, and definitely are aiming the target. As it stands, Bangladesh can reach reaching their target in today's match against Sri Lanka.

I believe PSG has carefully prepared for Mbappé to leave. Last season, they were ready to sell him. A big team like them won't depend on him. They are prepared to push him to the bench or sell him quickly. PSG is a financially strong team, and recruiting many stars to replace Mbappé is easy.
Saudi Arabia's "money" would make Mbappé the highest-paid player, but he doesn't need this. 'Success,' as you said, Mbappé requires individual and collective titles. A talent like him gradually fades away with PSG.

I'm sure of this too. It’s hard not to notice that, given the presence of such players as Kolo Muani, Ramouche and Dembele in the team besides Mbappe, there is some “crowding” among the forwards. Apparently PSG hoped until the very end that Real would make an offer that would suit PSG and Mbappe would go to Real this summer, but Real have been strictly rational for many years and they decided to get Mbappe for free, even a year later.
Exactly. You can't force a player who doesn't want to stay at your club. PSG's actions are quite irrational. I have a feeling PSG might resist selling Mbappe to Real Madrid and get angry over the situation. PSG did their part, now it's Madrid's turn to act and they might get Mbappe for FREE. Star players are leaving PSG; it's only a matter of time Mbappe make his exits. They've caused their own problems, and I wouldn't want any good player to come to PSG again.

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first. It is warm up match that will  give confidence to  perform well in ICC World
Cup. Pakistan is more confident  team than New Zealand. Pakistan played well in Asia Cup. Now   , it is time to perform well in ICC World. Which will play well in World, would have more chances to win World Cup. Now, Pakistan is playing. Pakistan score is 26 with fall of 1 wicket. Asad Shafique and Babar Azam are on wicket. They are playing well. Babar Azam score is 11 in 21 balls and Asad Shafique score is  12 in 19 balls. Henry took one wicket. In my opinion, Pakistan will win. Pakistan has stronger side than New Zealand. Pakistani bowling is top class whole the world.

Pakistan bowling used to be top class, but that is not the case now. Some of their bowlers are out of form, and some others are injured. But the latest update is that there is a rain interruption. At this point Pakistan are at 80/2, with Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam at the crease. They have made some sort of a recovery, after Henry and Santner reduced them to 46/2. At this point, two of the matches are held up by rain. The other match at Trivandrum, between Afghanistan and South Africa is yet to start as a result of incessant rain.

But Pakistan had reached 33/1 after 10 overs in the warm-up match against New Zealand. That's quite concerning. There's a need for Pakistan to consider a different approach when batting during the power play. However, rain interrupted the match. Fortunately, the recent update indicates that the rain has eased a bit, and the covers are being slowly removed. Let's hope the game resumes shortly.

Atletico Madrid got a big boost from winning against Real Madrid and i think they will win this match aswell,they are looking really well and this might be a start of a winning streak for them and if they manage to get three points they will certainly come really close to the top.
Today's match was between Osasuna vs Atletico Madrid where the final result was won by Atletico Madrid with a score of 0-2. I didn't watch this match, but I checked the statistical results for these two teams. It seems like the game was quite aggressive because both teams received red cards in this match. It's a shame to see Alvaro Morata getting a red card in this match, it will certainly be quite detrimental to Atletico Madrid in the upcoming match because Alvaro Morata is absent due to suspension.

So, with this result, Diego Simeone men are ranked 5th in the standings, but they have the opportunity to move up to 4th if they are able to win the match against Cadiz in the next match. Atletico Madrid have a tight schedule this week, so they have to be able to plan a strategy to maintain their energy so they can perform optimally in every match they play.
Osasuna performance so far has been very bad so it is not surprising that Atletico Madrid can win the match even though Atletico Madrid did not completely dominate the ball game Atletico Madrid was able to score 2 goal and the 13 shots taken by Osasuna did not produce results and were unable to equalize.
Atletico Madrid's defense so far is quite strong in 5 matches, he was able to win 3 matches 1 draw and 1 loss which is a pretty good result and he has collected 13 points 1 point different from Bilbao. I hope that Atletico Madrid next match will take him to the top 4 of the standings and can enter the preliminary round of the Champions League.
Osasuna is currently the underrated team, so it was expected that Atletico Madrid would win the match.
The game got tough, especially in the second half, where Atletico Madrid faced significant pressure. However, the team performed valiantly, while two goals coming from Antoine Griezmann and Riquelme. It looks like they're on track to secure a top 4 position in the standings, and it's difficult for any team to impede their progress.

Zidane also has the opportunity to continue his career in the EPL if he wants. Currently Chelsea and Manchester United are in bad shape with their coaches, Zidane can accept an offer from one of these clubs if an offer comes to him. PSG has just started a new adventure with Luis Enrique, the results of his work are starting to show after PSG succeeded in getting positive results. If Zidane becomes Marseille's new coach there will be more exciting competition in Ligue 1.
No no no, this guy only want to manage Real Madrid, it doesn't matter if it's senior club, Castilla, U21, U17 etc as long as it's Real Madrid, he will accept it. But he will not move to other club especially the club isn't in good situation e.g. Manchester United because he don't want to risk his reputation and work harder to improve other club.

If Ancelotti leave Real Madrid, then there's a possibility he will back coaching the senior club.

Zinedine Zidane has reportedly agreed to become the General Manager of Marseille if the club is purchased by Saudi Arabia. This move could bring strong competition back to the French football. It's hoped that significant investments in clubs like Marseille, Lille, Lyon, Monaco, and Bordeaux will boost competition in Ligue 1.

Zidane had expressed his desire to manage only three, either France national team, Real Madrid, or Juventus/Marseille where he had connected. While waiting for an opportunity for a big club, he might consider returning to Real Madrid if the chance arises.

Binance, the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange, has officially closed its operations in Russia by selling to a new crypto exchange named CommEX. However, the exact financial details of this deal have not been revealed. Is this move aims to decrease Binance's dominance in the market or any other reason?
Yet we don't have all the details regarding what drove them to take this significant step. This action could potentially lead to Binance dominating only the markets in Asia and Africa if caution is not taken.

Osimhen's performance is still very good to date because looking at what he did for Napoli, Osimhen is good even now he is still the player who contributed the most goals for Napoli even though it is not as good as in the previous season but he is one of the players who contributed the most to Naples.

On the other hand, I don't really like what Napoli are doing at the moment, as if they blamed the previous draw on Osimhen who missed a penalty in the match against Bologna some time ago, which could make their relationship strained and This can be seen now, because Osimhen is seen reacting to this and I think it is a very natural action.
In early six games he already score four goals which mean things are still good even not like last season, but he can contribute more than this in coming days but Napoli's social media team done something bad which is surely going to hurt them in coming days because this is not acceptable right now while team is struggling, and they are trying their best for having their legacy back under new coach this is nothing new if a player lost penalty because it is part of the game, but they use this video wrongly on wrong time as well.

Currently, they are at the fifth spot with next match is against Lecce which is having sixth spot, but their home form is impressive in this season with they never won against Napoli which is also interesting hopefully Napoli will be able to keep thing at high note for the gaining their lost confidence and top rank as well.
I'm not OK of what Napoli's social media team did. It's not right to express frustration and anger whatever towards Osimhen for missing a penalty by creating memes or substituting him early. He's the same person who has contributed to the club's victories in the past and deserves respect and support. I can see the passion with which Osimhen plays for Napoli. Napoli should handle such situations carefully, or he might lose focus. At the same time Osimhen must concentrate himself, not losing his mind so he can regain his goal-scoring form and end the season on a high note, just like he did last season.
