Manchester City vs Juventus was a strong attack between the two teams, Manchester City won 5-2. And both teams qualified for the round of 16, I bet on Manchester City between these two teams and I won. Manchester City and Juventus qualified for the next round from Group G.
Group H Real Madrid qualified for the next round by winning against their opponents, and I also bet on Madrid which won. From Group H, Real Madrid and Al Hilal qualified for the round of 16.
You gambled well, the chances of Manchester city winning was really high and it seems their attacking strength has really increased and I have been so impressed with their recent performance. I expected Juventus to at least put up a strong fight but it seems they were not up the task, they were bearly creating chances for themselves. The next stage of the competition is the most crucial one where there would be no room for a mistake and any team not up to the task will simply be eliminated.
Salzburg 0 Vs Real Madrid 3 FT
After the first official game of Xabi Alonso in charge of Real Madrid Vs Al Hilal that saw his team play out a 1 - 1 draw, people were already calling out the coach and saying lot's of things against, some even questioned why he was made manager. They forgot so soon that he's just new to the team and was his first game. I know it's yet to earlier but I see Alonso in the right path and taking Real Madrid to a greater height. I see another Zidane in Alonso, infact he will be a better manager than Zidane for the club. He needs to be allowed to do his job.
Real Madrid looks more lively than ever and they seem to be creating more chances now since they played a draw with Al Hilal. It's a good development for them and also from their play you will be able to notice some difference, in it which shows that Alonso is trying to add something to their game and also Vinicius looks to be lively. Is it the critics that made him to improve or the Alonso's doings. Alonso is definitely in the right direction but till the season kicks off we can't conclude if he will succeed here or not.
