Looking fwd for the official announcement
Messi did not visit Saudi without purpose. He had something on his mind and he took his family along. which obviously shows there is something going on on his mind.

You know, in the remaining 3 games, anything can happen. For sure, in football anything can happen. because, we are not only talking about data and statistics. therefore, football is very difficult for us to predict. each result, will be determined when the two teams play their match on the field. one mistake, can have an impact on the team's overall performance.
well, now we are talking about the opportunities of Al Ittihad and Al Nassr. these two teams, you could say, are still fighting for the pro saudi league trophy. only 3 points adrift of Al Ittihad, did not rule out the possibility for Al Nassr to shift the ranking of the top standings.

Well, now we are talking based on data and statistics. both Al Ittihad and Al Nassr still have 3 matches remaining, if Al Ittihad misses just one game. automatically opened up opportunities for Al Nassr to shift the top of the standings. although in the end the points were the same, Al Nassr had more goals than Al Ittihad. Now, we're referring to the teams they'll be playing against in the rest of the match. for Al Ittihad, their toughest opponent in terms of ranking is Al Ta'ee. because the other two opponents, such as Al Batin and Al Fayha were not difficult opponents for them to overthrow. now, we refer to Al Nassr's opponents. The 3 teams against Al Nassr seem quite tough for them, even though on paper Al Nassr is still superior. This week Al Nassr will host Al Shabab, which is certain to be a tough match. if, Al Nassr fell against Al Shabab. that means, the Saudi Pro League trophy is getting closer to Al Ittihad. well, roughly, that's from my point of view.

We can't be sure of the match outcomes. These days it is common to see more matches turn against the favourites. The matches left seems to be highly competing for Al-Nassr. Particularly the team Al-Shabab stands next to Al-Nassr in points table, so the match outcome can't be cent percent confirmed. Rest of the matches also tough, but Al-Nassr have got upper hands. Same as the efforts from Al-Nassr there'll be added efforts from Al-Ittihad to keep its position. Lets see what the outcome of the Saudi Arabia Pro League.

Even though we have no official statement or official comment from any party about Messi and his future with mostly things will be clear at the end of June or early July because right now mostly players are preparing for the better end of this season and after this we will have where is Messi going for his future with most chances he will not play in UEFA because he already announces not extended contract and his recent visit of Saudi Arab is also creating rumors about his possible contract.

But, this all is not clear as Inter Miami is also strong candidate for him mean now we have good competition between Saudi and Americans so where he will go it's not clear but most chances he will leave this all and settled in the USA because this is going to be good for him and his career last years instead of going into Saudi league.

I didn't say that he would go to Saudi league if he didn't apologize, I said he would be staying at PSG since he did. He could have still left and played at Barcelona, or mls, or anything else, doesn't have to be Saudi league, it just means he might have left, and even with no apology video he could have stayed at psg, who knows? But with it? I believe that he is going to stay and that is just my opinion. Maybe I am wrong, maybe he won't, and maybe he will leave.

After all, I am not his friend or family member, I might very well be wrong, I have been wrong before, I am just a human. All I am saying is that this is my opinion and this is what I base my opinion on, and I feel like I will be right, but I can't guarantee anything, maybe he will do just the opposite.

3 more matches left in the SPL before it really ends for the season, Al-Ittihad leads the SPL standings with 63 points, followed by Al-Nassr who is in second place with 60 points. The distance of 3 points is not a long distance, it is only equivalent to 1 match. But, do you think Cristiano Ronaldo & Al-Nassr are capable of winning the SPL title this season? Al-Nassr's remaining 3 matches are against Al-Shabab, Ettifaq and Al-Fateh.

It comes down to what Messi feels like. If he wants to play real competitive soccer, he can't go to the Saudi Professional League. He knows that he still has two years of high level soccer left at least. If he plays an offensive midfielder role who is more focused on providing assists than scoring himself, I think he can go for a couple of years still. At PSG when you have one player with the speed of Mbappe, you don't necessarily need another Mbappe, but one who knows how put Mbappe into action and that is what Messi is the perfect player for.

The SPL is about money only. If Messi feels the time has come to add another billion to his wallet, he will go to the SPL. Barcelona I agree, I doubt that that will happen. Now that he is so old , my dream to see him play for Manchester City together with De Bruyne won't become true

Even though Messi doesn't care about Cristiano, each fan of the two still really cares about the competition between these two great players. imagine how big the world's attention will be on the saudi league if they succeed in bringing in messi, that's right instead of choosing to play in MLS, playing in the arab league is far more profitable (at messi's age now, talking about money is a natural thing)

Messi apologize for a mistake he made. It can also be called a part of politeness. However, many questions have been raised around the apology. Since several issues are covered in this regrad.

Messi is playing almost at the end of his career. So his attitude will change a bit. His participation in the Saudi League would be a more appropriate decision than any other league in Europe. Although Barca tried to bring him back, it was nothing more than a show-off appeal. Barcelona can't afford to keep him because he left the club for lack of money he expected, so how will he return there again?. Moreover, they can't pay him more because they can't ignore UEFA's financial policy.

On the other hand, the deal with Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal worth more than $650 million has been called a rumor by many.
David Beckham and Inter Miami are still holding their hope. They think they will be able to take Messi to the southern tip of America.

Messi doesn't care about Ronaldo. The time is over when they fought each other in La Liga and you also seem to confuse something here. Messi apologized to PSG, but that has nothing to do whether he can go to the Saudi Professional League earlier or not. His contracts will expire either way. The apology was his approach to calm things down in general, but not because he thought that there is any advantage to him regarding a potential transfer to another league.

It is also not about "trying competitions outside of Europe". Not at all. Do you think he would go to the SPL for the competition? The biggest dream of Ronaldo and Messi is to win the SPL now, sure... Instead of going to sunny Miami and play in the MLS, they prefer to go to Saudi Arabia because they want to try something new. You can't be thinking that. It is money only, and nothing else.

Yes, maybe that opinion is a bit exaggerated, but it must be admitted that this problem will open up opportunities for Messi to join this league more quickly
Currently, Messi is an old player and his abilities are starting to decline not a bad idea if he wants to try competitions outside Europe moreover Ronaldo is already in this league so they can do it together.

You are saying that if Messi didn't apologize, you would be sure that he is going to sign a contract in the Saudi Professional League? Are you basing your conclusion only on an apology? I think that is a bit thin isn't it? If it was that easy maybe we should only see whether someone made an apology in a certain situation and then we can decide whether that player is going to sign a new contract or not!

I think Messi accepting Saudi Arabia's offer is not going to happen. The only reason I said this is because he apologized to PSG after visiting SA and that means if he wanted to leave, then he wouldn't care but he cared and wore a suit which is rare for Messi and made that video.

I talked about this before somewhere and I think that he is going to stay with PSG, I don't care what his father said or wife said or anything like that, dude will stay, that's what I will believe until he confirms officially that he leaves. If that happens then I will say that I was wrong, but until that happens I will consider him part of the PSG team and that's how the team should see him as well and try to keep him instead of punishing him and just get him to play.

Damac vs Al Hilal.

Tomorrow, Al Hilal will have his match which visits Al Majma'ah Sport City, Damac's headquarters. referring to these two teams, Al Hilal is far superior to the home team. very reasonable, because the two teams have a gap based on the quality of players and standings rankings. before three days ago, Al Ittihad had a home match against Al Ittihad and the match ended with a score of 2-2. now, Al Hilal will play his match against Damac. on paper, Al Hilal will win this fight easily. plus, referring to the H2H meeting of these two teams, Al Hilal always dominates the victory. unfortunately, in the first meeting this season the match ended in a draw with a score of 2-2. well, can Al Hilal win this fight, or will they have a little problem with fitness.

On the other hand, Damac is not the favorite team even though they are playing as the home team. Currently, Damac is ranked 11th. In last week's game, Damac lost with a landslide against Al read. and even if they lose, their position remains secure. well, the question is whether Al Hilal will play with his best performance, I'm quite doubtful. although based on the odds Al Hilal is far the favorite. well, the odds that Al Hilal has are @ 1.56. quite ideal, with opponents that are not too tough. my estimation, Al Hilal will overthrow Dacam easily.

The title dream was almost over for Al-Nassr with just one win in all last five matches. Al-Nassr had no choice but to win this match against Al-Tai. Cristiano Ronaldo's team entered the field against Al-Tai with the goal of winning. 

The first chance for Al-Nassr came in the 22nd minute when Ronaldo headed a ball that went straight into the hands of the opponent's goalkeeper and five minutes later Cristiano Ronaldo shot another shot at the goal post but the shot was deflected by Al-Tai's goalkeeper. Thus the first half ended in a goalless draw. But in the 47th minute of the second half, when a player of Al-Nassr was fouled, Cristiano Ronaldo and other players of the team appealed for a penalty. Later, with the help of VAR, that illegal tagel in the D box was considered as a foul and Al-Nassr got the first penalty. The Portuguese star scored his team's first and his 13th goal from the spot kick. At the end of the game, the Brazilian forward scored another goal to secure the team's victory.

PSG contract for Messi is already ended because his father it already announces he will leave this club after completing this contract and now about future things are not clear because Barcelona situation is not clear due to their huge debit and mostly peoples he will also follow Cristiano Ronaldo and join Al-Hilal which is standing with their one of the most luxury offer in soccer history but still final decision have to come from Messi and company.

Right now, as things are going around UEFA most chances no club will go ahead with Messi and his salary with just Barcelona were having some interest, but their finances are not allowing them which is also problem and with this all now Messi have to decide about his future in next few weeks with most chances he will choose Al-Hilal because this offer is too good to reject for any player even he is GOAT in soccer.

Al-Ta'ee vs Al-Nassr in Saudi Professional League Al-Nassr gave us a very nice match between the two teams. I was a little worried after seeing the game at first. The players of Al-Nassr team could not score any goals. C. Ronaldo in 50 minutes.  scored a goal. and Talisca scored the 2nd goal in 80 minutes. I was a supporter of Al-Nassr team in this match. I am very happy today for my favorite team to win. I didn't enjoy the whole game. I enjoyed the last part of the game.

In theory, Al Ittihad did not have difficult opponents in their last three matches. especially next week, Al Ittihad will face the relegated team, namely Al Batin who is in last place. but usually, teams that are in the relegation zone sometimes give surprises. because they usually play with nothing to lose, even Al Batin's chances of escaping the relegation zone are very unlikely. maybe, this fight will give a surprise. the other two opponents are, Al Fayha and Al Ta'ee. it could be if Al Ittihad slipped in these two matches, because in football anything can happen. at least, the difference of 3 points from Al Nassr put a little pressure on them especially since this competition only leaves 3 matches. this is very interesting, for us to wait and see.

Conversely, Nassr still has the opportunity to shift Al Ittihad's ranking. but on condition, Al Ittihad must lose one match. that way Al Nassr's chances of shifting the top of the standings are wide open. interestingly, the matches of the two teams will be broadcast simultaneously. unfortunately, Al Nassr will face an equally strong team. but at least, they are playing at home. so, 3 points is the result they must get over Al Shabab in the match this week.

Al-Ittihad was lucky as they have just one goal in second half because as home team were playing things were not in their favour but still they have one point and now just three matches left in this season and their lead is still 3 points which mean if they are able to won one more match then surely this could be going to secure title for them in next round Al-Nassr will host Al-Shahab and Al-Ittihad will host Al-Batin which is at the bottom of the league table so most chances they will steal all three points from this match.

Round 29 could be also having easy game for the league leaders and Al-Nassr will be host Dammam for their match against Al-Ettifaq which is in middle of the league table and surely not easy game for them.

I do agree that we are talking about just mere 3 points but Al-Nassr ends up dropping points too, that's a risky thing, maybe Ittihad had a draw this week while Nasr won, but last week Ittihad won and Nasr had a draw, if not for that they would had 2 more points and only be 1 point behind, which means even if Ittihad had 2 wins and 1 draw, with Nasr getting three wins they would have been champions.

This is why their job is very hard, even though they got Ronaldo, they are not playing amazingly at all and they need to do a lot better. If they are willing to spend this much on a single player, maybe they could just spend a bit more and get better players around him. He needs at least a bit more decent players that can pass to him so he can score.
