Well, the dude is 35 years old, it would be unfair to expect him to keep on being a great goal scorer for a team that is going for both la liga and ucl. Not a lot of players in the world has won something at 35 years old, Benzema did it recently but he was at a great team, even Benzema with this current Madrid probably wouldn't be able to, and he didn't last year.

I think being 35 and expected of scoring at the highest ever level is not that easy. I am not saying he won't though, he might still turn it around and score 20+ goals for the rest of the season, not like that would be impossible to see, but I think it's not going to be all that common, we are going to probably see him finish the season with another 10 or so goals, and that would be his last year there. I think Barcelona needs to get someone else, they will probably have some more money after this year, and getting a great scorer would be lovely for them, a pure striker like Lewandowski but younger.

There was only one thing that caught my attention when looking at the odds on all of today's UCL matches, and that was the odds that Manchester United received on the 1X2 bet.

They get @ 1.8 odds to win, I think this is a good chance considering their position in group A. Bayern Munich will face Galatasaray, and most likely they (Galatasaray) will lose to Bayern Munich, therefore Manchester United should take advantage of this golden opportunity to move to 2nd place in the standings.

How about you guys? do you have the same thoughts as me?

I wasn't expecting AC Milan to beat PSG, but I never gave up hope that it may happen. AC Milan have been very good in Serie A, therefore I am not giving up hope on them beating PSG. This was the most challenging group since they did the draws, thus the outcome in this group so far is not surprising to me, as it is becoming more difficult to determine which two teams will advance to the knockout stages of the competition after the group stage matches have been played out.

Milan's adrenaline gets pushed due to the last chance owned by milan. Getting three points are just giving milan another chance and this is what is really needed by the club at this moment. No doubt that if the supporters are in very big hype during the match.
Milan will be also in another disadvantage caused by the next game will be happening away. This is not a good condition for milan but the last chance that must be taken by milan.
Pioli needs to think even harder to prepare his club even better than before. PSG is still in safe position and there are two matches remaining at this moment. Any clubs in the group F have the same chances to qualify but i waiting acmilan to give us a surprise.
This club is always performing so poorly but there is a chance for milan to play better by taking full points from all of remaining matches.

It seems so, but not with me. we both believe, it seems there are many people who bet on Newcastle in last night's match. however, I don't see that at all from my betting perspective.  why, firstly, because for me Newcastle has not shown its consistency in this competition. Second, let's refer to Eddie Howe's tactics, patterns and game and this is very different from what Terzic did for his squad. That's why, from the start of the match in the first leg, I said that Dortmund actually had a higher probability of winning the match against Newcastle, both away and at home.

We can compare, if Terzic always uses tactics when his team is about to play a match, especially crucial matches. I mean, it won't always apply the same pattern. plus, so do the tactics he employs. Well, Newcastle should have been able to win the match by taking advantage of the momentum when Dortmund's pure stickers did not contribute much to scoring goals. However, Terzic was smarter and at the same time his squad performed quite well. especially, in the first half.

For PSG, I didn't watch this match in full. but IMO, Luis Enrique's squad was carried away by AC Milan's style of play. In the end, Milan was able to comeback and win the match.

Staking a bet on Newcastle to win was a risky move because we can see how they were busy playing matches during the weekend and some of their players got injured and fatigue will also affect their performance; and Dortmund on the other hand suffer defeat against Bayern Munich in Bundesliga, so they will do their best to recover their performance as well as gain more hope of moving to the round of 16 because they know Milan can perform very well and shock them as well.

At the end of the group stage matches if this group F, they might some surprises because Milan might qualify ahead of either PSG or Dortmund, but I am very sure Newcastle United might not qualify because they lack Champions League experience compared to the other teams.

The door to the opportunity to qualify for Manchester United will be closed if Galatasaray can surprise the Allianz Arena public by beating Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich faced Galatasaray with favorable conditions because FC Hollywood earned 9 points in 3 matches. One more win means they are guaranteed to qualify from the group stage.

For Galatasaray, if they lose against Bayern Munich, they still have a chance to qualify because they still have to win in the next match against Manchester United at their proud Stadium in Turkiye.

They ensure themselves to be in the round of 16, not only them Leipzig is also certain to accompany Manchester City from group G, because with the remaining 2 matches it will not be possible for Young Boys and Red Star to catch up with points from Leipzig who have collected 9 points.
This is an advantage for these two clubs, because they can now be calmer and even they can rotate players in the last 2 matches to maintain the physical condition of their main players from a busy schedule.

Dortmund certainly delivered a shocker last night as they defeated Newcastle United by two goals to nil. Many would have staked their bets on Newcastle United after they defeated Arsenal in the weekend but the opposite was the case. Milan also surprisingly defeated PSG I must confess I didn’t see that one coming, I really don’t know what to say about PSG right now.

right now, even without Kevin de Bruyne, Mancity are still toughest team in champions league this season. their players quality and their tactics flexibility make them an unstoppable team. I'm not sure Madrid and Bayern are able to stop them, because they still have their own issue to solve.

Madrid have lack of clinical Central Forward (striker) that makes them struggle to score both in La Liga and Champions League. in some games, they need late goals from midfielder to win. that situation is not enough to stop Manchester City.

Bayern have issue with Tuchel struggles to executes his tactics and plan. it's rumored that seniors players dont really like about how Tuchel wants the team to play. but so far, the presence of Harry Kane really helps them massively. but I dont think they are able to stop Mancity remembering Guardiola know very well about Bayern.

It is really very unfortunate that Union Berlin is having very bad results at this moment with consecutive defeats, obviously such results make the team get pressure and it is difficult to get out of trouble quickly. Considering also, in this match against Napoli, the fact is that Union Berlin will also play away, and the fact is that in the previous match when Union Berlin played at home also the fact is that Union Berlin still lost. So yes, I personally don't believe Union Berlin will be able to hold Napoli in this match because of course, Napoli will also still try to make their position safe in the top two in this group phase.

If we see the recent performance from both teams PSV was slightly better especially PSV still unbeated in the last 8 matches in all competitions and i can see PSV was very strong at Eredivisie because according to their statistics PSV has 11 winning streak at Eredivisie but at Champion league PSV was very different because in the last 3 matches PSV only able to collect 2 points from 2 draw and 1 lose and their opponent Lens finally can able to bounce back after starting this season with poor performance and in this competition too Lens performance was quite better compared to PSV

Lens key players will be available today because there was no injured players or suspension players from Lens and for PSV they will losing Ismael Saibari because of injured but PSV main striker Luuk de Jong probably will be played since the beginning of match and Lens have to be careful to this player because Luuk de Jong was onfire and he always be scores in the last 2 matches however i have been notice Lens recent matches results because Lens only conceded 1 goal from 4 matches so this proven Lens defensive lines was quite strong lately and my prediction for this match is Lens will aiming 1 point so draw result probably good pick for this match and the odds for draw @3.55

Is not it the game between arsenal vs sevilla was also a decided match? Getting another win will save arsenal to be qualified for another round. I think that if the match between arsenal was not so hard to predict. Sevilla will be playing away at emirates stadium. You did know that how superior arsenal once it played at home. Sevilla has become unfavored team in this match and so, this match is easy to decide which team that is going to win the game unlike PSV vs lens.


I feel so bad for donaruma during the match between PSG vs acmilan.
The group F was the toughest group compared with remaining group in UCL. No doubt that any matches in group F will always give us various drama.

Man City is a complete team. Man City is showing its strength by winning all matches without losing a single game since the beginning of the season. They have reached the knock-out round. Currently, their strength has remained the same compared to last season. Pep Guardiola and the whole team can firmly defend the championship this season. But are Real Madrid and Bayern Munich the only teams that can stop Man City.
Real Madrid seems to be transforming successfully when young players are the mainstay. Bayern Munich's attack can cause difficulties for any team in the tournament, especially when Harry Kane is scoring as effectively as he is now. Can these two teams stop Man City?

If you want to bet, you should avoid the matches of the teams in Group F, these four teams are very difficult to predict because they beat each other. The current situation on the standings also does not show the top team that will advance to the round of 16, where as we know, the four clubs still have the same chance. There are two more matches left, the battle will be even fiercer, and the host will be at a great advantage, because they will definitely get full support from the fans.

I didn't expect Milan to beat PSG at the San Siro, Enrique must have been very disappointed with this result. Likewise, Dortmund managed to beat Newcastle in two legs, they managed to restore their confidence from this victory after being beaten by Bayern previously. Sometimes what we predict beforehand doesn't go as it should, that's how luck works.

We are looking forward to the same match, but I am more focused on the Arsenal versus Sevilla match. as a fan of The Genners, this match is very interesting for me, considering that the match will be played at Sevilla headquarters. Plus, sometimes Sevilla is able to provide resistance when visiting strong teams. like against Real Madrid, against Barcelona with a narrow defeat. but in this match, the problem is, the match will be played at Emrates Stadium, the Gunners' headquarters. However, it seems that Sevilla will play with nothing to lose. because after all, Arsenal is a strong opponent, Sevilla's chances of qualifying for the next phase will make it even more difficult for them as a whole. so, they will play carefree.

On the contrary, this is again a crucial match for Arsenal to win. Even though they are in first place, the difference in points from Lens is very small. 3 points is something they must get at Emirates Stadium. referring to the predicted line-up of players, it looks like Arteta will still play Nketiah as the main starter. And, we'll see how well he can perform optimally.
Well, when it comes to betting options it's a little confusing. So, I think Over at 2.75 goals @1.82 is the ideal choice.

In the same match in the group B phase, PSV vs Lens. I don't have much to review about these two teams, however, this match will be quite tough. straight away, my estimation, PSV will win this match and the odds they have are @1.73.

Arsenal against Sevilla today is one interesting match for me that I'm anticipating watching tonight, Arsenal so far has lost one out of the three game they have played in the UCL and they are currently looking like they have dropped form in the premier league.

Most recently they have aswell lost a few premiere league games making me to doubt their present form if it's really still good enough to steal complete three points from Sevilla even with their home advantage. Sevilla is yet to secure a win at the champions league, so fare it's been two draw and a loss, I doubt if their winning chance will be with the gunners because the gunners want to continually maintain their position at the top of the group.

Barcelona losing this UCL game is one which not most persons imagined. Yes, Shakhtar came into the game confident of stealing points and causing an upset and they did which helped to get themselves back on track in the UCL, well Barcelona are still ahead in the group  However they need to perform better in their next UCL match to maintain their position on the standings.

Arsenal playing Sevilla at home is really going to be a big match one the Gunners Fans are hoping to see the team win confidently and bang much goals but this Sevilla team would also be coming into this match to steal points too. Mikel Arteta and his players would try to come out top of this encounter, Manchester United has to get all 3 points to get their UCL Round of 16 hope alive. Is Ten Hag still in charge or is he losing the dressing room already? The encounter with Copenhagen today will have a lot to say on this.

Barcelona made few signings this summer which they're yet to see improved results from the team's performance. Xavi Hernandez is the man incharge and he will certainly keep some players on the bench, probably players that have failed to meet up to the require expectations of the team. Details of their defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk last night, it's poor defendlines and also no focused attacks have made them dropped in stats. Talking about getting rid of  Robert Lewandowski, I won't concord to that particular idea. Lewandoski recently made recovery from injuries and that portrayed a questionable result regarding his performance. So he needs time to bounce back to incredible shape.
