Ancelotti is one of the best and most successful coaches in the business. Actually, it is sad to know that he will retire soon, too. I wonder if it is in 2026 I think when his contract ends, but if it is possible then I wish he would be a coach for many years to come. Klopp is now gone and Ancelotti would be another huge name in this field. All are of a different kind, yet Ancelotti is special. And he seems to still be super ambitious. He wants that title. Maybe he retires if he wins it!  Nobody can tell for sure, but I guess he is already planning his perfect moment to say goodbye. He seems to be that kind of person.

A potentially costly mistake for Bologna, but as good as this comeback sounds at first glance, this draw could cost Juventus the Champions League qualification. Take into account that Atalanta now has an unbelievable chance to leave Bologna and Juventus behind. What the heck is going on in Serie A. Looking back like 2 or 3 months, Juventus Turin was safe and nobody doubted they would get the qualification. Now it is all on the fence for them.

It would be the biggest nightmare for Juventus if Atalanta wins that game and by the way, Atalanta has two games at home now. It could now end in a catastrophe if Bologna wins the game against Genoa and Atalanta is not giving away any points in those two games. Unbelievable that Juventus would end up in the Europa League after a season without any games on European stages. Worst times for them ever.

I am asking myself whether you are serious or not... You think that Arsenal just needs to change a few things and then they can beat Manchester City? Why didn't they do it yet? If it is so easy as you describe, what is the point in waiting until next season? I assume you realize that this is bullshit. Manchester City is far superior and that is an issue Arteta can't solve. As if he only needed to adjust a few things and then they can win the Premier League title. Utter nonsense.

Manchester City will remain the superior team in the league. They have got all the resources and the players to stay the best team in the league for many years. Arsenal once again can only hope for Manchester City to make mistakes, but they don't make mistakes when it counts. The way they got kicked out of the Champions League was more of an accident than a lack in performance. Next season the question is not whether Manchester City will deliver again, the question is whether Arsenal can again gather close to 90 points and I doubt it.

There was an interesting interview with Xabi Alonso where he answered that finishing a season without a defeat is more valuable than breaking the 91 points record from Bayern Munich. I was thinking about that and I guess I agree. Of course it is just a numbers game then, but finishing a season without a single defeat is an achievement in and of itself. It's amazing that they pulled it off and never stepped back until the very end. The fact that they won the last game again was the perfect finish and in my eyes the perfect preparation for the Europa League final and the DFB Pokal. Knowing that nobody has beaten them will only make them stronger. Amazing performance.

This has not been decided yet if I may be frankly speaking. The interesting part about the story is that nobody knows how this will play out...

But for now the situation is that they want to keep ten Hag as a coach. I assume that most people don't understand why Manchester United is hesitating and what drives them to stick to ten Hag. They got the money to sign a new coach and this is what they should do. Start the whole thing from scratch, invest money into the team and get a big name on board to finally bring ManU back to where they belong.

It is still a brilliant outcome for them. Thea know that without wining this game, they would have gotten relegated. It is amazing how they resisted all these huge expectations and once they were in trouble they fought back.

Bochum gave the chance away and now they got to fight for it.

But the results are now there and Bochum is most likely shocked about their drop to the relegation zone.

i think it is still the same setup. Guariola may lose the Champions League and everyone knows it because the most little details decide whether you win or lose, luck included. But if you take the Championship as an example, I knew that Manchester City would step up and win and win and win. That is what they did. Arsenal knew there is nothing to stop them. Pep won the title with his boys and they deserved it. In my opinion the best team in the world. They should have destroyed Real Madrid.

He somehow gets it done that one the one hand he finished the last season in a pretty good position, namely 3rd, and then he beats Newcastle at home and if he wins against Brighton, it's again a situation where the bosses don't know what to do exactly. I think they should go with a decision and stick to it. Either make a cut now or go with him for another season and give him whatever he wants. But the reality is that the number of critics by far outweighs the number of supporters for ten Hag.

I haven't heard much from the bosses though, but since there was a change in ownership, I think it is complicated to have any of those parties give a statement. Maybe the bosses want to keep quiet because if they can't find another coach, then sticking with ten Hag might be the best option for them from their perspective. Hence weakening him now wouldn't be smart. But if they can sign a coach behind closed doors, I think it's over for ten Hag.

I think there isn't really any serious danger for Leverkusen to lose this last game, but I hope that they can ensure the win and finish the league with 90 points, no defeat and an overwhelming goal difference. It's great to see a great character like Xabi Alonso to take the football world by storm and set a new record that Bayern Munich was never able to set. A whole season without a single defeat and not that any draws either is amazing. The only way to top that record then would be by going without defeat while at the same time get less draws. Damn this record is tough to crack in the future.

The Leverkusen must still be thinking they are asleep and dreaming. Won the Bundesliga probably without defeat and DFB Pokal final and Europa League final waiting. There isn't much more to go for except for the Champions League next season.

It is by no means the season for Juventus. Everyone thought that after the wasted last season when they got that point reduction penalty, all would be set up for a restart to new heights, but the opposite is becoming true. They were now able to fully concentrate on football and didn't have to fear any external disturbances. They did somewhat save the season with the win of the Coppa Italia, but still that's for sure enough for a club of their size and history.

Winning the national cup can be great for underdog teams and often times it is the only opportunity for them to take something home in a season. But Juventus has been declining so much in the last few months that they deserve where they are right now and even worse, they are putting at risk a lot.

They scored 49 goals in 36 games. That's quite a shame and probably the worst offense among the top clubs in European football.

But it isn't up to the coach whether he stays or not. Sometimes it might be, but I am sure that the management of Juventus Turin will do their homework and see what action are necessarily to be taken in order to bring the club back to where they belong.

I know that there was a point deduction, but since Allegri is in charge, Juventus finished 4th in 2021/22, 7th in 2022/23 and this season it remains to be seen whether they can stay in the top 4.

I doubt that the bosses in Turin are happy with what is going on there. Allegri is one important part that could potentially be identified as a problem and be replaced. If they can find a great trainer who would be willing to build the team and is ambitious enough, I think it is not impossible that Allegri's end will be announced. For now all the focus will be on the last two games of the season and if he qualifies for the Champions League, he might get the chance to continue.

There comes an interesting idea to my mind that could now positively affect Leverkusen. In the past many of the young talents from outside of the Bundesliga (or from the Bundesliga for that matter) decided to go to Dortmund instead. Not always, but most of the time the really promising young players, if they went to the Bundesliga, decided for Dortmund. In light of this recent success and this highly charismatic coach Alonso, This could seriously turn in favor of Leverkusen. If I was a young player, sure the Dortmund stadium is probably a dream for everyone, playing in front of the yellow wall. But in terms of ambitions, from now on I can imagine that players think Leverkusen could be as good of a club as Dortmund to take the next step in a career.

I guess there is no reason to believe that Leverkusen would not be able to compete on the same level next season and Alonso seems to have a pretty good eye and feeling for spotting extremely high potential players at a young age. I hope there is going to be some more action in the Bundesliga in the fight for the upper ranks.

But that was known before the game started. Look, ten Hag finished in 3rd position with Manchester United last season and I am quite sure that this didn't lower the overall expectations by any means. When you go to Manchester United as a coach, you know that any position out of the top 4 is a no go. Actually, this is the lower bound of expectations. Now realistically speaking I guess that nobody expects United to beat City over the course of 38 games. But there is no reason for Arsenal to be 29! points ahead... 29!

This must hurt any fan who can remember the good old United times when they were the one to beat if anyone wanted to claim the championship. United now stands at 17 games won vs. 20 games not won. I think this is a statistic that should be taken into consideration when it is decided whether ten Hag should stay or not. If you don't win more games than you win, I think that's clear indication of being the wrong guy for the club. There should be a certain minimum and I am sure the old United never dropped below 65-70 points. They could still reach 60 points, but what's even worse is that Chelsea overtook them! Chelsea was occasionally in the lower third of the table and now they are in front of United. Well done ten Hag!

No clue whether this win was expected. From my perception I think it wasn't really and the majority was leaning towards at least a point for Newcastle United. But it is the up and down that keeps ten Hag from getting sacked. He can lose against some weaker team and then next weak he beats a team that is of similar strength or even better. He probably doesn't even know himself how to solve that riddle and finally get some consistency into the game. It remains weird to this day. But it looks like they don't have a chance to qualify for any of the international competitions unless they beat Manchester City in the FA Cup.

However, it was somehow unbelievable that there is this one goal scored so early on in the game and then you usually know that Atalanta will be pushing very hard until the end, but couldn't score a goal against a recently weakened Juventus Turin. That surprised me as I thought Atalanta is most likely the favorite in this game considering how they have been performing for a very long time. But it is important to note that any team can have one of these days when they have chance after chance but can't score.

Atalanta still has another chance to win a title, but this one was bitter. They weren't worse than Juventus Turin, but the early goal tore Atalanta's game plan apart.

This was a much more balanced game than I thought and what distinguished Manchester City from Tottenham was that City scored the goals at the perfect points in time. Right after halftime and that put them into the position to play their game more than they could in the first half. But it could have been a more successful game for Tottenham if they used one of their chances early on.

Doesn't come around very often that Manchester City has less ball possession, but this was finally a game where Haaland could score twice again. I don't know when I read his name twice on the scoreboard the last time. It must have been a while ago. But these two goals were priceless for them.

It is now only a home game against West Ham and I believe that Arteta's last hope was Tottenham. Of course Arsenal will try to do their job and win the last game, but it doesn't look very promising now.

After everyone and everything on the planet got nuked in a nuclear war, the BTC blockchain will be the only thing to continue to exist and that could be recovered from one of the thousands and thousands of copies redundantly distributed around the world.

Hm 5.5 years is a very long time and if you go back 5.5 years, so many things happened that have been on nobody's radar. The pandemic, the war, many other things.

You ask for an educated opinion, but I wonder how educated an opinion can be when it is about a point in time 5.5 years ahead of us. But I guess you might be asking for more of a general trend that everyone believes BTC will follow and I agree that if we don't get all nuked, BTC probably continues to thrive and expand, and hopefully, hopefully, there will be some technological innovations for BTC that allow for it to be more properly used on a daily basis. In other words, solutions for congestions as far as it makes sense, i.e., doesn't undermine security too much.

It is now already getting started and it seems that Frimpong is very close to making a decision against staying in Leverkusen. It is said he has a release clause of 40 million euros. Frimpong is one of the key players and I believe it is already damn sure that he won't be the last player who either has some release clause or who will receive an offer that maybe even Leverkusen can't reject. But players like him are so essential. If it was only 1 player leaving the club, I guess that would still be ok and not too much of a hassle for the club. But this scenario where maybe 4-5 players leave Leverkusen, I'd kind of be disappointed as I believe the team as it now is was born to be successful. The football they played wasn't just a season full of luck, it was serious stuff. But they need to keep most of the players in order to continue like that.

I think it is never the right way to just put the blame onto one person. That's why saying Allegri is the one and only to take responsibility for messing up the end of the season is not correct. The players have responsibility to and I am confused how they can allow for things to become so critical that they now have to fear for their Champions League qualification. 2 months ago nobody expected them to lose points nonstop and suddenly be under pressure again to make the cut.

But in the end it is normally the coach who is responsible. I have no clue how Juventus could drop so hard in performance. It is very atypical. But that's the business and if they really miss the CL, I think Allegri can pack his bags and go.

This is so Guardiola... Of course he says this and he does that for a number of reasons, but not because it has many meaning for this one particular game at this point in time. Guardiola knows that it is up to his team and only to his team. If they play what they are able to play, the game is going to be theirs. Surely Tottenham is not Brentford and therefore this is still a serious challenge for them as it is a game in Tottenham. In a home game I would say no chance for Tottenham, but maybe they will get some chances and then it depends on whether or not this is one of these days where they have 3 shots on target and 100% of those shots hit the back of the net. Otherwise I don't see much of a chance for them. Manchester City is pumped above and beyond.
