I think Mbappe joining Real Madrid is still uncertain, despite many believe he will sign to the club. The narrative of Real Madrid being a dream for Mbappe to play for keeps being spread. This is no different to the last time Mbappe signed the extended contract with PSG. This makes me doubt about Mbappe's intention to join Real Madrid. At this point, everything is still a rumor to gaslight the transfer news.

Every possible sign shows that Mbappe will join Madrid, I don't hear anything from Mbappe about his own future beside his intension to leave PSG. His ambitions and his possibilities of lifting trophies are always repeated in the rumor discussions. This has become a boring rumor, because everything sounds familiar to everything about Mbappe.

That's what game and competition mean, at any circumstance, the hope of win and the fear of loss will shake the nerve and adrenaline. The uncertainty in football is what bring excitement for fans to watch the game. Manchester United and Manchester City are derby rivals that will always provide intense display that provide unpredictable outcome.

We can analyze their ability and performances to predict who will be the winner. The strength and consistency of Manchester City will always be the favorite to win the cup, No on in rational sense will be confident to say Manchester United going to win the final. Manchester United winning the cup will be a surprise, but that hope will be killing the fans during the game.

I don't think lucky is a right word to say about Real Madrid having those players, because Real Madrid always do assessment when want to sign a player. The players they sign are always the players who have big ambition for their career, and this has a big impact on Real Madrid as a team that has winning culture. That's why it's rare to see a player rejected Real Madrid when the player received an offer from the club.

Bundesliga is not a destination for the players with big ambitions. The league seem more about tactical display and entertainment for their fans. Dortmund is a club that focus on the development of young players with a great academy. Real Madrid and Dortmund seem to oppose each other in this context. The Champions League final will provide a game between ambitious team against talented team. 

Chelsea keeps being ruthless to their manager, their instant success idea hasn't been dropped one bit. Sacking Pochettino may be reasonable, but without a guarantee of hiring a better manager, this decision will backfire them in the future. If they keep giving short time to any manager, remembering their squad is also new and young, their rebuilding process will never reach the expected goals.

Manchester United shouldn't follow this footstep of Chelsea. Ten Hag may have more times than Pochettino, but they were in worse situation that Chelsea when Ten Hag took over. I don't think there will be a coach who is able to improve these two teams. I remember Klopp was also in this kind of situation when he took over Liverpool, but the club gave him time and a proper backup. Liverpool gained the result of their patience with Klopp in the fourth season of him in the charge.

Leverkusen seemed that they have forced their limit to the achieve the unbeaten record. That ambition got them backfired by exhaustion. Leverkusen kept winning or drawing games in the last minutes has really made them drained to their limit. They entered the game with so lack of focus that made Atalanta scored two goals in the first half.

Atalanta seemed to have learned a lesson after a loss in Copa Italia to Juventus. They started the game really well, exploited any space in the Leverkusen's defense, this tactics succeeded to put them on a two-goals lead. This situation made all Leverkusen's plans on the game became meaningless, Everything became out of control for them. This will be a good lesson for Alonso in his managerial career.

My prediction is that Manchester City will comfortably win the league instead. Liverpool is in transition with the new manager who have no experience to manage a big club in top league. It's hard for Liverpool to compete against Manchester City when they have a change in the most influential position; the manager, because it needs an excellent to win over Manchester City.

Arsenal have a great squad with quality players, but after having failures in two consecutive seasons, like you said, they will be having drained spirit and physics. The fatigue will take effect on their third title race, and their inner mind will think that it will waste energy to keep up against Manchester City. I don't think Chelsea will be in title race next season, they still have no character as a team, they can lose to anyone and win anytime. Only having good players is not enough to compete for the title in the current era of Premier League.

The manager who has managed his team to win the league is the best manager, that's just a common measure to give an award. No one doubts his capability as a manager with a bunch of trophies collection throughout his career. However, he has privilege to have the best squad to execute his plans, tactics and strategies, he barely faces struggles to prepare his plan to enter the season.

In my opinion, the award of the best manager should be given to the manager who has the best progression with his team, or achieved more than expected. I think Unai Emery deserves it, he guided Aston Villa to finish at 4th position and secure the ticket to play in Champions League next season. With the squad he has at Aston Villa, Emery can be said as overachieve, while Guardiola with the league title is expected to achieve.     

The stake of the game against Villareal for Real Madrid is meaningless because they have already won the league. The main intension of the players on the pitch is avoiding injuries. So it's not a surprise that Real Madrid played with low determination and then conceding four goals. The fact that they were able to score 4 goals is a positive thing for Real Madrid side.

The Champions League final game will totally be different, this is their main focus and their preparation for. We will see Real Madrid play with their full team and full concentration. Ancelotti knows better how to face this situation, he has been preparing the team just for this game, the remaining league games were never concerns for him. The last opponent this season is just Dortmund, not others.

Leverkusen is having a remarkable season that makes people think that they are way better than Atalanta. However, Looking at the last several games, Atalanta have been having a great consistency where they are have a long winning streak that grant them a ticket to play in Champions League next season. The loss against Juventus is a setback that brings doubt about Atalanta to win against a good team.

The win over Liverpool have made them gaining a confidence booster, and since then, they have a great consistency in the league. Leverkusen is consistent at not losing games, but they were having draws in last some games. Considering all these, I think Leverkusen and Atalanta share a fair chance to win the trophy, but just Leverkusen is a bit more favorite due to their this season records.   

Money is what makes the livelihood goes better and easier. It's an exchangeable tool to use in any circumstance of life. People use it to fulfill the need for their livelihood anytime and anywhere. Having cash money makes it easy to handle any unexpected situation that makes it more important than any other kind of wealth.

Cash money will always be the most important thing to have in daily life, but investment is great way to grow wealth. Investing in assets like gold, stocks, and real estate is a great way to manage the financial security for the future of life. Starting to invest early can make benefits from compounding, where the earnings grow on the earnings over time.   

That's normal odds considering the performances of both teams in the last games. Manchester United have been so disappointing in the last several games. They even experienced big losses against teams when they are expected to win. Injuries have big impact on their performances, but there is no excuse to be that bad, because the squad depth better than the teams that beat them.

It's expected that Manchester City become an absolute favorite to win the FA cup. It feels strange, because that's still a derby game which should be an intense game at any circumstance. The ambition to secure the trophy has made Manchester City become a scary team to play against. There is no reason for Guardiola to lower their determination in the game as this is the last game and the climax of the season.     

Liverpool seem to have tendency bringing a coach who is capable of rebuilding a squad like how Klopp has done. Arne Slot has that criteria, he rebuilt Feyenoord Rotterdam that were at struggling phase to win Eredivisie league title. He also has a good skill at speaking in public, but he is too straight forward or too honest that can be a problem in front of english media.

Supporting any new figure at the club is a standard to be done by the fans. There is no point at being sceptical of any new figure at the club, because it will bring disharmony that can cause continuing problems in the future. Before he does anything, there is no reason to look down at him. A new figure can't do anything right without supports from the people around from the beginning.

Apparently, Serie A will have five teams to play in Champions League next season, this makes Atalanta securing the ticket since two weeks ago. Their performance in the last several games is very good, but it's a shame that they failed to win the Copa Italia after a loss to Juventus in the final game. Atalanta seem to struggle against good teams, they rarely won against top four teams in Serie A, and this brings doubt about their capability to win the Europa League against Leverkusen.

Regardless the results, Atalanta is having a great campaign this season. Europa League final, Copa Italia final and a ticket to Champions league are good achievements for Atalanta's calibre. Knocking Liverpool out of Europa League final has become a famous win that made Atalanta gaining recognition and confidence in the ending phase on this season.  

The 'curse' narrative on Harry Kane is quite shameful. This is what makes many great players didn't get a proper recognition, because their teams didn't won trophies. Harry Kane has played for Tottenham for a long time, and it's not his fault that Tottenham didn't win any trophy since a quite long time. He has played for Bayern for one season, blaming him for Bayern not getting any trophy is so unfair.

People tend to exaggerate a bad side of a player, and this is not a good vibe in a sport world. Harry Kane can be said as the best striker at the moment, is even better than Erling Haaland, because he has all-around ability as a central forward. The team's fate shouldn't be attached on him, because the ability of palyers can't not be measured by the team's achievements.

Having a good performance against Real Madrid always gives an advantageous optic for any player. Alexander Sørloth really utilized the chance against Real Madrid to make his name gaining some recognition in football market. Scoring four goals against Real Madrid will surely gain his bargaining value if he wants to make a move to a bigger club.

The fact that he is the leading top scorer in La Liga will make his name becoming a hot target in transfer market. Villareal will be happy to take advantage from his market value remembering his age has been 28 years old. Big clubs surely won't have so much interest in 28 years old player, but there would be clubs that are in desperate need to sign a striker.

Ligue 1 teams like Lens and Brest have issue in maintaining their performance after having a good season. This happens every season when a team fail to keep up their achievement in the following season. Lens were playing in Champions League this season but now the finish the season at 7th position. This is quite common in Ligue 1 that hinders the development of the team.

Brest will be playing in Champions League next season, but they will be expected to have a struggling campaign. The struggling at developing their squad is a big factor for Ligue 1 teams to repeat their previous season performance. They need to sort out this issue, playing in Champions League would increase their revenue, and this should motivate the club to improve the quality of the squad.   

Manchester City have the best quality of squad depth, injuries don't have a big impact on their performance. They kept winning when Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland were injured that proved they were capable of maintaining their performances when important players were not on the pitch. This is a required consistency that made them able to win the 38 games competition.

Rotational policy in Manchester City have made them able to handle the potential fatigue issue. Guardiola has made the engine in Manchester City team kept working at any circumstance. Next season will be a tough campaign for any other team to compete against this such side. Arsenal need to improve their level of consistency, if they want to stay competing against Guardiola's Manchester City.

Real Madrid is undoubtedly the favorite to win, they have every rational reason to be predicted as the winner. However, prediction is just prediction that can go wrong when the result comes out. Dortmund being an underdog won't stop their chance to win the final, in fact, this status can relieve a bit of the pressure of the game.

Despite one team being most favorite and other team being underdog, the final match is still hard to predict. Dortmund have ability to  make a surprise, they have history to beat Real Madrid with a big goals Margin years ago. Real Madrid is just Real Madrid, a club with a long history and winning culture. Their strong mentality in Champions League is a big factor achieve the trophy.   

Atalanta and Leverkusen have a similar seasonal consistency, they kept in position to fight for top four finish. Xabi Alonso has changed Leverkusen to be a powerhouse in Bundesliga and Europa League. This season, Leverkusen is not only different, but also having a remarkable season that is almost impossible to compete with.

Despite anything can happen in football, I don't think Head to Head history is accurate to to determine the chances of who deserves to be the favorite while Leverkusen is having a freak season. However, the latest performance is more rational to analyze the chance. Atalanta is having their peak form this season with a long winning streak that leads them to have big chance to finish top four, but they fail to win Copa Italia by lost to Juventus. Leverkusen is in a high morale to gain their biggest achievement in the history of the club, this kind of spirit is scary to play against.

Since Guardiola came to Premier League, the champion has become predictable, which makes Guardiola a great manager who is able to change the landscape of a competition. The consistent winning streak was rare before Guardiola came to Premier League. All the three teams had a long winning streak this season, it was just Liverpool having a big drop off after the winning streak, while Arsenal could give a good reaction to the loss.

Among the three teams, Liverpool was the one who had an injury crisis, they even had 7 starters unavailable at the same time. They even succeeded to win the League Cup with some academy players on the pitch. Manchester City and Arsenal had few injuries that were not really impactful for them. While De Bruyne and Haaland were injured, they kept winning games. Arsenal didn't even have an impactful injuries, and they have a good squad depth as the replacements.
