TIME: 9pm

The French giants and defending champions of the UCL host Chelsea at the Parc De Princes and it’s a game that comes with so much anticipation on the side of fans and somehow this feels like the repeat of the CWC finals where the blues had a memorable 3 nil win over Luis Enrique men, so interestingly we all expect PSG to come into this game with revenge in their minds and it promises to be an interesting encounter.

Looking at both sides on current form I think they’ve struggled in their last few games domestically and so it’s a bit difficult tipping a favorite going into the game, but that notwithstanding Chelsea would likely come into the tie feeling a bit more confident because of what they did the last time this two sides met but in football no two games are the same.

PSG on the other hand had an impressive record against English sides last season when they went all the way to win the trophy that eluded them for so many years, hence I expect Luis Enrique and his boys to reflect on that going into the game and more so playing in front of their home crowd gives the French champions a slight edge over the English side.

Overall I think it’s gonna be a 50/50 tie and this game I expect a lot of chances to be created at both ends of the pitch and either of the sides that convert it’s chances will definitely carry the day. Hopefully is gonna be a mouth watering encounter as we all anticipate.

Prediction: 
PSG 2-2 Chelsea

This exciting tournament brings together talented kids aged 5-10 from various football academies in Bayelsa State, including host Yenagoa City Football Academy, Dominion City FA, Kingdom Stars FA, Stardom Life FA, and Okiki Musampa Football Academy. The Easter Kids Cup is more than just a tournament - it's a platform for young dreams to take flight. We've seen it happen before: kids who started small, worked hard, and rose to stardom.

These young players had their big breaks, and who knows - maybe tomorrow's stars are among us! "Early learning will help the kids grow with confidence," says Coach Ada Gwegwe, Coordina...
