sc freiburg leads 1-0 against rb leipzig at half-time of the dfb-cup final through a goal by M. Eggestein, which could also not be given by a handball, nevertheless it remains exciting and it can still happen so much in the second half. the game is very balanced.
here i have a nice visual representation and a comparison between these two clubs
Now it might be different. Marcel Halstenberg's red card will definitely turn this into an even more boon for Freiburg now. Leipzig had a hard time finding goals when they were down to 11 men and they are now playing with 10 which makes it even more difficult for them now. On the other hand this is an advantage for Freiburg as they only need to secure their net at the moment considering they are already ahead and they are just waiting for time to end this is already an absolute win for them |

And if you look at the players Klopp played in at Soton last week most of them were substitutes but even then they are very good at playing and still strong enough for a lower team.
I feel that in the match against Everton the result will be the same regardless of whatever strategy Lampard will use
In the upcoming match Liverpool against Wolves will be interesting to see because the match is quite important for Liverpool to win to maintain the chances of winning the EPL. According to statistics, Liverpool players are constrained to miss Mohamed Salah and Van Dijk because they both suffered injuries during the match against Chelsea. Well, from the absence of two important bombers for Liverpool, Jurge Kloop will play Matip and Diaz. I think in this case even if they want to keep the possibility but it's quite difficult if you expect City to not play well there. As for the attacking line, Salah's loss in this match I still feel it would be safe to say they don't have to worry about that. Currently Liverpool's front line is really complex because indeed there are also Jota and Diaz who are ready in any case |

Hamburg indeed has a good chance to win the relegation duel against Hertha. But they should be cautious, we had a similar situation last year, where Cologne lost the first game against Kiel 0-1 and cam back in the 2nd leg with a 5-1. Hertha didn't have a good day yesterday, but I think the 2nd leg will be a completely different game. I am rooting for Hamburg though, it is the bigger name  Yes, I agree. One more goal does not mean anything. Hertha has its back to the wall and will give everything in the second leg. They have nothing to lose and have to score goals. That is why it will not be an easy game for Hamburger SV. I also think we will see a lot of fouls. Last year many also thought that Kiel would win the second leg. If I remember correctly they were much better than Köln in the first leg. So everything is still open at Monday. I still feel it will be a win for Hamburg now. Hertha's performance is slumping and getting worse in every match they play and this will certainly make their players mentally shake now considering that when the team continues to lose there will be various jeers even from the fans themselves. I'm still pretty sure for Hamburg now regardless of how the game will be Hamburg will win again in this second leg even though it's difficult |

I personally think Mbappe's departure is not a problem as long as PSG have the right coach, if PSG still keep Mauricio Pochettino then even if they keep Mbappe it will be the same as before. PSG basically have to move on and let Mbappe go but PSG have to recruit the right coach, that way I'm sure PSG will be fine. We can see in many cases when the golden players in the team want to leave but are detained or not allowed and then there are those who let them go, but in the end the teams that were left behind by the golden players they succeeded in the Champions League.
Bigger problem if Mbappe departure and getting new club on next transfer window, this season Mbappe as top scorer for PSG and success created 25 goals and I think if PSG losing him who will scoring many goals next season. Not see with Lionel Messi can replace position leave by Mbappe but have good credit with Lionel Messi success made 13 assist in this season. Maybe if really left by Mbappe, PSG need finding the same level quality player and really bad decision not only with Mbappe but also Angel Di Maria have confirmed leave PSG in this season after his contract over. In this case maybe I look at messi to increase their popularity because if you expect sharpness at this time it might be too late. Apart from his age, he also doesn't seem to be playing loose and is very different when he played at Barcelona before. But in terms of popularity, PSG is much more improved, especially when Messi comes in. popularity and sponsors who come are very many for them and it is still quite profitable in terms of financial. |

We can't say that the performance of both clubs has been a similar one and seeing real Madrid defeating Manchester City to qualify for the finals, and Liverpool facing a lesser clubs to qualify.
But this also can not guarantee the performance or winning ability of both clubs and in my opinion Liverpool has the upper hand in this finals.
True, their opponent in the previous round which could be said to be a pretty big team was only Inter there but even though that was the case, Liverpool's performance was really good in every way. I hate their good performance for now because indeed I am a fan of Madrid but indeed I will also not close my eyes considering their performance is really good and every line in the squad is very cohesive. |

Because in this case they seem to be given a second chance to improve themselves in the current premier league, it's no wonder they are so happy when they escape the relegation zone because the first caste is certainly more prestigious than the second caste.
In this case it might be a bit difficult especially in this last match City will also face a club that can be said to be a less good club now but as you said hopefully there will be a miracle even though this tends to be impossible
At the end of the season like this, clubs becomes the more fierce than we usually see, especially for teams at the top and the closely relegated once. You can tell that, the game becomes more interesting, especially when there isn't much points difference between teams. You can imagine the sort of game Southampton did put up with Liverpool just before, with Redmond scoring an unbelievable goal before the replies came and Matip gave them the advantage they needed to collect all 3 points in that game. Everton's come back wasn't much of a shock but them actually getting to win the game was some good team effort on there part. A hard win indeed and just like that, they've got the chance they need to remain in the premier league. And if you look at the players Klopp played in at Soton last week most of them were substitutes but even then they are very good at playing and still strong enough for a lower team. I feel that in the match against Everton the result will be the same regardless of whatever strategy Lampard will use |

It's true that the lowly club at the bottom of the table doesn't have much discussion on this forum, but what I can see from the video footage on tiktok is how happy it is for Everton to stay that's why they came on to the pitch after the final whistle.
Here I am a Liverpool fan we will fight each other with Mancity on 22 May, this is our hope so hope there is a miracle that comes so Liverpool can win the trophy.

Now it seems like a dream for Arsenal to join the Champions League group stage. They failed really hard against Newcastle which was one of the most crucial games for them. And this will definitely cost them the Champions League now. Because I think there is no way Tottenham are losing to Norwich while there is no reason for it. I know that there was no reason for Arsenal to lose to Newcastle as well. But I just don't expect the same thing from Tottenham. And Norwich are a team that have already relegated from the Premier League. So congrats to Conte's Tottenham for making it!
Now apart from they have to expect Tottenham to lose in the last game they also have to improve themselves with a foam win against Everton in the last game. Everton's condition this time is not as bad as before but there are still many gaps there that make Arsenal should be able to win in this match. but I don't want to have high expectations because in the previous match they were also the favorite but lost in shame |

Since the finals are around the corner I advise Liverpool to play fewer of their main players in the premier league remaining leg and try to focus more on the champion league finals
It's getting more difficult for Liverpool, they will face two important match in the near future. I don't think Liverpool will field a main player before the UEFA Champions League final. In the EPL they are uncertain because they are in position 2, while in the UCL it is certain because Liverpool are already in the final and there are no positions 1 and 2 before the match starts. Because in EPL it's only profitable if City loses and it's quite difficult to happen, so their focus is definitely UCL for now considering their opportunity here is still there. but even in this case I actually still have doubts about Klopp's decision later because if you see from the start he prefers to bet for all possibilities so maybe he will still play with quite a bit of chance in the EPL |

There are discussions about Messi finally deciding the iniesta route. It is talked that he may leave next season to Inter Miami and leave PSG and just own 35% of the Inter Miami club. That way he would not be paid just a salary, but more like a profit from the clubs coffers as well.
I do not know if it is true, this is just an ews right now regarding one season later, but if it is true, then Psg is crumbling a lot. They may lose mbappe, they are losing di maria, and that would mean they have only one more season of Messi left. By this logic they have only Neymar as famous player and that is not enough for anything at all, they need to use that big oil money they boost all the time.
Without Mbappe, PSG will be in trouble. Neymar is good ok but he won't be able to be Benzema after CR7 departure. Di Maria leaving will be another disappointment for the club. Messi and Neymar together won't be efficient without the help of another attacker. Such news is good for their rivals but it isn't good for Ligue 1 since the teams, PSG mainly, won't be competitive in Champions League.. They have to be prepared in this regard considering that when these two players leave, it will indeed be difficult to make other players as patches. right now Mbappe is the most prolific in Ligue 1 and of course at PSG too and when he leaves then as you said Neymar will not be able to be like Benzema when Ronaldo left Madrid. On the other hand, for Di Maria, this position is also quite risky because he is a cog and a good diverter of the ball in midfield. maybe Verrati and Herera are still there but still when Di Maria isn't there automatically the ball supply will decrease a little |

Well, all we can do is speculate in the meantime, I have compared their previous match-ups, but to no extent, because there are players that comes and goes, so the Hertha team and the Hamburger SV team right now is pretty much a different team from their previous ones, but I guess the level of competitiveness between the 1st division and the 2nd division is noticeable, but maybe Hamburger SV has a shot to be on the 1st division of the Bundesliga let's wait and see I will definitely give my picks and what I think could win the match and that will be on Friday, May 20,
With Hamburg's winning streak in the Bundesliga 2 I think they still have the motivation to overtake Schalke and Bremen to a higher caste and they still have a chance to do that considering that Hertha haven't been very good at defending their defense this season. I think this will be fun because it will determine whether Hertha still wants to stay or if they will only give their position voluntarily. |

Robert Lewandowski was alone at the top of the top scorers standings by 35 goals. And I assume that he is the player who scored the most goals in this season among all European leagues. He definitely deserves the award for that. Maybe he is getting older now but it still doesn't affect his performance badly. This must be enough to show how qualified player he is really. He is one of the most important players in football history already I believe.
Lewandowski ended up been the highest goal scorer in Bundesliga this season with 35 goals in 34 Bundesliga matches which he played. He performance are incredible, and despite he age, is quite surprising seeing him probably scoring sharp and smart goals. Although, I was expecting his team to win the Champions League title this season. However, he has so far won nine Bundesliga title in Bayern Munich, the club should be super proud of having a player like Lewandowski. I think he is one of the legends in the history of football. This is not too surprising for Lewa because in fact almost every season he always does this and is the top scorer. on the other hand, I am still very much waiting for his decision in the next season because this is still a big question mark for now considering his contract is not long and there is still no clarity about his future. I hope he is still here considering that if there is no Lewa now then it will be a pity because Haaland will also not be in the Bundesliga next season |

Monaco has consistently performed well. They have won the last 9 matches. They even won against PSG, the best team in Ligue 1. If Monaco had been able to put in such a performance from the start of the season, they would have been able to join the title race with PSG in this season. However, Monaco still has some weaknesses. If they want to fight for the title next season, their forwards need to be stronger.
Monaco are in their best form after recording a long 9 games unbeaten, and they aiming to make it 10 games unbeaten. The team really operate on a Concord teamwork and they even won one of the best team in Ligue 1, PSG. Monaco would have started the league with this their current form, they would be in great competitions with PSG. Monaco have successfully sealed their place in the Champions League for next season. Monaco are on fired, they deserve to challenge for a trophy next season, only it they maintain this best form.; Finally AS Monaco lock 2nd position on Ligue 1 and have lock champion league ticket for next season, I think consistent performance make AS Monaco success back to 2nd position and drop Marseille to 3rd place standing. Still have one match left and I think easy with AS Monaco to win because against with Lens and actually will give chance for AS Monaco finish on top position after several years always failed reach on champion league spot standing. AS Monaco actually on early season not really good but back keep consistent when league almost ended and can finish on 2nd place. in this case it still hasn't happened because considering now they are on the same points and they have to win in the last game if they want to lock up the Champions League next season. right now of course Marseile still have a chance if they win at least 6 or 7 goals although it was difficult for them in their last match to make their goal difference more. but it will be very difficult indeed for Marseille at this time because they are required to win and hope Monaco play badly |

Messi scored 2 goals for PSG's 0-4 win from Montpellier. This is Messi's 6th goal of the season for PSG, especially in the league, while Messi has also provided 13 assists throughout the season. The golden boot may go to Mbappe with his 26 goals so far, he is 2 goals ahead of Ben Yedder who has scored 24 goals but maybe that could still change as there is one match left for the league this season.
~
Interestingly enough, while Mbappe has had a phenomenal season (at least compared to the rest of the PSG players), his goalscoring record is not all that great. The Golden Boot will go to Lewandowski, which is quite unusual since in most cases in recent years this trophy has gone to Spain. And Germany is perhaps one of the rarest winners of this prize. It's quite agreeable to say that Lewa's Golden Boot this season even though Mbappe is quite impressive but in terms of performance it seems Lewa is more worthy for now. In terms of productivity, Lewa is far superior at the moment but it is interesting to see now whether Mbappe or Lewa can become the Golden Boot winner because regardless of anything there are certain other assessments. |

Finally, the game is revived! Looking forward to a goal from Atalanta... Now they will attack more often... They too have great motivation, just like Milan... With half an hour to go, I think we'll see more goals... Atalanta probably have nothing to lose now, so they will play more aggressively!
81 minutes have already been played in the match and Milan is leading by two goals. The score is 2-0 in favor of Milan right now and it seems like they are going to win this match. I think Milan is going to secure Their league title by winning this match today. Because if they do win this match, Inter will have no way to surpass them even though they have two more matches to play. Unless of course, Atalanta makes a really great comeback in this match with only 9 minutes to go. with this result they are just one step away from being champions and will really be champions if Inter lose or draw in a match they will play in a few moments. This will obviously be a burden for Inter if they still want to target them and stick to Milan because they are required to win. although indeed the opponent they will face is quite easy now |

In the Volkswagen arena, Wolfsburg got a 2-2 draw against their visitors, Bayern Munich. Wolfsburg did their very best in holding down Bayern Munich in the second and they levelled the game to a 2-2 draw. The home team didn't have have chances to create a goal scoring opportunities for their side, although they really tried to utilize the ones they got, which was the only two shots on targets that neiled the visitors goal post. The German gaints didn't show interest in the game because they are already crowned champions of Germany, so the Coach, Julian Nagelsmann is looking forward to prepare for the new season, new challenges.
Bayern Munich didn't take the match very serious. Although, they were leading in the first half with a goal. But, Wolfsburg bounced back in the second half, and equalized the score. This season wasn't productive to Wolfsburg as they failed to secure a place at the top five. However, Munich as usual ended the season at the first place and have so far won the title 10 consecutive times. While, Lewandowski also ended up scoring the highest goals In Bundesliga. in this game but I appreciate what Wolfsburg did. in this case only 2 shots were on target for them and both were goals. Of course this is very good for them. on the other hand because Bayern don't have to do anything because regardless of winning or not it doesn't affect them for now. Wolfsburg are doing something good even though they are constantly urged by Bayern |

I read in the media that m.salah got injury, correct?
This is a nightmare for Liverpool, we know the salah role is very influential in front of Liverpool. I'm waiting for the truth and hope it's not too serious, because I want to see him appear in the final of the champions league this season.
Even though Salah is injured, I believe Liverpool will be able to face Real Madrid. because now Liverpool already have some extraordinary players like Luiz Diaz, the key to Liverpool's game is evenly distributed, so if Salah is injured it will not affect Liverpool's game. But I hope that Salah can play in the final later but in this case still not sure he will be injured until the game against Madrid. Klopp has said that it is most likely that the EPL match will be without Salah and Van Dijk but on the other hand he has not mentioned the Champions League. They both had a Hamstring Injury and Van Dijk had a muscle cramp. I think this will be over soon and hopefully Salah can play in the Champions League final |

Benzema is a central of Real Madrid attacking system and he gets support from other players. In return, he has contributed a lot for Real Madrid in this season. They can not either win La Liga or go far like this in Champions League if Benzema did not score too many goals to help them come back after were lead by opponents, from PSG to Chelsea and Manchester City.
If Real Madrid win Champions League, only one match, the final in Paris, Benzema will very likely to win Ballon d'Or.
This season, Benzema has played really well and now it has been confirmed that he is the La Liga Top Scorer and Champions League Top Scorer, which directly proves that his goal productivity is now very good. on the other hand it wouldn't have gone up too much if it all went to Benzema but they have no other choice now. It seems that if no big injuries happen, two teams will almost have their best players for the final according to
Hopefully there are no injured players before this match starts because indeed they have to be with full strength to make this match even more exciting |

In this case, I don't think it's appropriate to compare something that doesn't need to be compared.
but for Pep I still feel he deserves to be at City because regardless of what he can't force his will when the team he coaches loses mentally in the Champions League then there is no need to blame.
His performances at City have been outstanding and he still deserves to be, besides if he does end up leaving at least for now it's quite difficult to find a new coach to suit the players.
Pep has done very well as Manchester City manager he has made them stronger, brought them to two semi finals and one final unfortunately he has not won it but he has done well in the competition domestically he is the best,with the way they play and style of entrainment he should be given respect, he has won lot of titles back to back at England and he has not done this with a striker, I think the club board appreciate his work, that's why they did not waste time to give him a world class striker (haaland) this time around to break the champions League curse. Because there's no reason for them to fire now. As for still not being able to win the Champions League, they are still losing in experience and this is proof. on the other hand they have also fought well there and there is no need to blame anyone because on the other hand their opponent is also very tough. Talking about the curse of the Champions League, hopefully Haaland can contribute well next season |

It's true, even though there is only one game left, but the competition between Freiburg and Leipzig against Bielefeld looks like it will be a difficult match for Leipzig because Bielefeld who has been relegated this season will play without a burden and that could be an obstacle for Leipzig to secure their place in the champions league next season, I think even though they are facing a weak team, leipzig still need to be vigilant because anything can happen in the last second of the game.
You have to include Union Berlin in this as well because regardless of what if Freiburg were caught off guard and lost they could have been overtaken in this last match by Union considering that Union's opponent in this last match is Bochum who even though they have performed quite well in the last few matches but they could be said to have lost strategically to Union Berlin. |
