Wednesday 002 Champions League: Leipzig vs Lisbon Leipzig Red Bull's performance this season has shown a certain degree of ups and downs. Currently, they have achieved 9 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses in the Bundesliga, accumulating 31 points and ranking fifth. Although their overall performance is not stable, the team performs strongly at home, with a record of 5 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, showing a strong ability to play at home. However, the team's performance in the Champions League is disappointing, having lost all six matches so far, scoring only 6 goals but conceding 13, becoming the only team in the top five leagues to lose all their Champions League matches. Recently, Leipzig Red Bull's state has also faced challenges. In the past two rounds, they first lost 1-2 away to Stuttgart, and then were held to a 3-3 draw by Bochum after leading by three goals, exposing problems in defense and match concentration. In addition, the team is currently plagued by injuries, with key central defenders Lukas Klostermann and Nordi Mukiele missing, which has had a significant impact on the defensive line. Sporting Lisbon's performance this season has been outstanding, currently topping the Portuguese league table with a record of 14 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, demonstrating strong dominance. When playing away, their performance is equally impeccable, achieving 7 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, with the highest away points in the Portuguese league. In the Champions League, Sporting Lisbon's performance is also remarkable, achieving 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. Although they failed…

The 2024/25 UEFA Champions League has undergone a format change, with top European clubs battling for qualification. At 4 AM Beijing time on January 23rd, Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain will host Premier League champions Manchester City in a crucial Group G match. This clash between two Qatari and Abu Dhabi-backed giants is pivotal for both teams' hopes of advancing to the knockout stages, as the loser risks elimination. Due to broadcasting rights, CCTV's sports channel, CCTV5, will not air this highly anticipated match. Paris Saint-Germain, managed by Enrique, boasts an €874 million squad featuring stars such as Asensio, Dembele, Muani, Lee Kang-in, Balko, Vitiña, Marquinhos, Emery, and Hakimi. Meanwhile, Guardiola's Manchester City has a staggering €1.26 billion lineup, including Haaland, De Bruyne, Foden, Doku, Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Gundogan, Savic, Dias, Ake, and Ederson. The combined value of both teams amounts to an astonishing 16.2 billion RMB. Despite being last season's domestic league champions, both teams face different challenges in their respective leagues this term. PSG has remained unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions, sitting atop Ligue 1 with 46 points from 14 wins and four draws, comfortably ahead of second-placed Marseille by nine points. Conversely, City's Premier League campaign has been underwhelming; they currently languish in fifth place after a prolonged slump, effectively out of the title race. In the Champions League, both teams have struggled. PSG started well with a win over Girona but then went four games without victory until their recent triumph at Red Bull Salzburg, which kept their qualification hopes alive. They…

This season, what can Manchester City still compete for? With 11 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses in 22 matches, accumulating 38 points, they are ranked fifth in the Premier League table, 2 points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, and 12 points less than the league leaders Liverpool, who have played one game less. The hope of a miraculous title win is slim, and even securing a Champions League spot is uncertain. However, there is still something for Manchester City to strive for, such as the Champions League title. Winning the Premier League five times in a row or four times in a row makes no difference; it's just about breaking their own record for the longest consecutive championship titles in the Premier League. What Guardiola values most is the Champions League trophy, which is not enough for both Manchester City and Guardiola! The reason for choosing to renew the contract despite the worst performance is based on this point. Haaland has renewed his contract with Manchester City until 2034, and the Norwegian forward shares the same ambition with Guardiola! If they can win the Champions League title, this year is not a major tournament year, and there is no Messi to compete against. Therefore, Haaland can completely defeat the three from Real Madrid and win the 2025 Ballon d'Or, leaving Mbappe and Vinicius staring blankly. What can PSG still compete for? After losing Mbappe, PSG can still dominate Ligue 1, but their performance in the Champions League is too poor. Last season, they could still overturn Barcelona away from home and…

Manchester United left-back Tyrell Malacia will be allowed to leave the club during the January transfer window, with manager Ruben Amorim approving the deal. The 25-year-old Dutch international can be loaned out, but whether he can find a new club will depend on continued efforts from the club and his agent, a situation similar to that of his friend Marcus Rashford. Malacia joined United in 2022 for a fee of £13 million from Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, becoming the first signing under former manager Erik ten Hag. The player initially performed well in his first season, even displacing Luke Shaw as the starting left-back at one point. However, he soon found himself sidelined alongside his English rival due to long-term injuries in the treatment room. Due to a serious knee injury, Malacia underwent two surgeries, missing 18 months, including the entire previous season. He finally returned to action last November, making five appearances since then, but often performing mediocrely and being substituted at halftime. According to the Dutch media outlet "Voetbal International," Manchester United and Amorim informed Malacia on Friday that he could seek a new club, with expectations that he might leave on loan in the second half of the season. It seems that Amorim has determined that Malacia is not good enough to play for his Manchester United team, preferring to use Diogo Dalot and Mazraoui as makeshift left-backs rather than selecting Malacia. The 39-year-old Portuguese coach also revealed that 29-year-old Luke Shaw is expected to recover from his injury this month. There have been inquiries from several…

On January 18th, Beijing time, the official news from the winter transfer market announced that Napoli player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has joined Paris Saint-Germain. The two parties have signed a contract until the summer of 2029, and Kvaratskhelia will wear the number 7 jersey for PSG, previously worn by Kylian Mbappé. Like Mbappé, Kvaratskhelia also specializes in attacking from the left flank. With a transfer fee of 70 million euros, PSG has officially announced their new number 7, while the Serie A leader loses its core player, making Inter Milan's prospects for winning the title more promising. Kvaratskhelia, currently 23 years old, has scored 30 goals and provided 29 assists in 107 appearances for Napoli. He helped Napoli win the Serie A championship in the 22-23 season, during which the team also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, achieving their best performance in the competition. In the Georgian national team, Kvaratskhelia has played 40 games, scoring 17 goals and providing 9 assists, helping the Georgian team qualify for the European Championship for the first time and defeat Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal to reach the knockout stages. Kvaratskhelia plays as a left winger on the field, capable not only of shooting and passing but also excelling in dribbling and strong breakthroughs, having once surpassed Leão to become the top dribbler in a single Serie A season. PSG is currently ranked 25th in the Champions League, outside the playoff qualifying zone. Kvaratskhelia's arrival is crucial. In the final two rounds of matches, PSG will face Manchester City at home and Stuttgart away, fighting…

According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Moussa Diaby will join Juventus on a pure loan deal, with the Turin club taking on the player's full salary. With Diaby's move to Juventus, PSG's significant investment in the French forward is considered to have been wasted. In the summer of 2023, PSG spent a transfer fee of 95 million euros to bring Diaby from Eintracht Frankfurt to the Parc des Princes. Prior to joining PSG, Diaby had an impressive record, contributing 26 goals and 14 assists in a single season for Frankfurt. He also nearly helped the French national team retain the World Cup title in Qatar in 2022. However, despite his promising form, Diaby struggled to adapt at PSG. In his 19 months at the club, he became somewhat of a spectator. This season, he has only played 14 Ligue 1 games, scoring 2 goals with no assists. His performance in the UEFA Champions League has been equally disappointing. Under coach Christophe Galtier, the 95-million-euro forward seems expendable. Due to his underwhelming performances at PSG, Diaby's market value has plummeted. As the player with the biggest drop in value in world football in 2024, the French forward's value has decreased by a staggering 40 million euros. Currently, Diaby's value has fallen from 95 million euros upon joining PSG to just 30 million euros. For Juventus, however, securing a player like Diaby is a stroke of luck. Even though his value has diminished, as a key striker for the French national team, the 26-year-old still possesses considerable…

Juventus, as a traditional powerhouse in Serie A, has indeed not been in ideal form over the past two years, making it quite challenging for the team to compete for the championship in Serie A. However, it seems that the Juventus management also hopes to strengthen the team during the winter transfer window to make them a top-level team. This time, Juventus made a decisive move and successfully secured the services of top forward Mouani from Paris Saint-Germain. This player, who was once acquired by PSG for 100 million euros, has always been considered a pity by fans. Before joining PSG, Mouani had an impressive record of 28 goals and 15 assists in the Bundesliga, which is quite remarkable. However, after joining PSG, the presence of Mbappe meant that Mouani could not secure an absolute starting position. Additionally, there were significant conflicts between Mouani and coach Enrique, which prevented him from obtaining a stable role within the team. At this point, choosing to leave could very well allow Mouani to regain his form and perform at a high level in upcoming matches. Juventus' decision to loan Mouani is primarily to verify whether the player still possesses the ability to compete at the highest level. The loan period is half a year and does not include a buyout clause, so if it doesn't work out, they can simply let him go. Juventus' performance this season has been relatively stable, maintaining an undefeated record in the current Serie A league. However, they do lack a reliable forward who can consistently provide goal-scoring…

In fact, fans who follow Messi know that he has always maintained his love for Barcelona, and he has always hoped to have the opportunity to return to Barcelona to play. So when Messi left Paris Saint-Germain, it was reported that Messi might return to Barcelona to play. But then we also knew the story, Messi because of the problem of not reaching an agreement with Barcelona about salary treatment. In the end, he had no choice but to join the Miami International of the MLS. But Messi's return to Barcelona also revealed another opportunity, which is reported by the Spanish media El Nacional: "If Messi reaches a renewal with Miami International, Messi will choose to return to Barcelona on loan during the 2025 MLS off-season. Messi will extend his contract and consider continuing to play in Barcelona during the off-season. This will allow him to maintain his physical condition and prepare for the upcoming 2026 World Cup." This time, the Spanish media confirmed this news, which also surprised everyone. The relationship between Messi and Laporta has also been eased, because previously both sides were played by each other during the renewal. This led to Messi being unable to get a renewal contract. However, after the celebration of Barcelona's 125th anniversary, Messi also communicated with Laporta, and their relationship has been eased. They can cooperate at that time. Messi's loan return for half a year is also to prepare for the World Cup in terms of physical training. After all, training and preparation in Europe is much more intense than…
