I think Luis Suarez may well find strength and motivation in the Champions League matches, especially since there are not so many of them compared to the domestic championship games. As for the extension of the contract with Atletico Madrid, I heard that a lot depends on whether Uruguay will be able to get to the World Cup in Qatar, because if his national team gets there, Suarez is ready to make big compromises in wages for the sake of playing practice at a fairly strong top championship club. In any case, we will not be talking about a long-term contract, because top clubs, and Atletico Madrid can still be attributed to this category, do not want to bind themselves with long-term contracts with age-old players.

Everything is still possible, but in light of the fact that Borussia Dortmund is the main pursuer of Bayern Munich and cannot keep the pace set by the leader, then for now we can really say so. The most important thing about Borussia Dortmund, I would like to say that the team seems to have hit the ceiling of its capabilities in recent years and cannot take that single step to be higher than Bayern, although of course there are reasons for this and the financial component occupies the most important place in this. Therefore, now the main hope for Borussia Dortmund is to find the same charismatic coach as Jurgen Klopp who could somehow compensate for the financial handicap of Bayern Munich with his coaching qualities.

Real Madrid need to pray for Benzema to get back into action as soon as possible, because the attacking line of Real Madrid with Benzema and the attacking line without Benzema is a big difference. It sounds ironic enough that a club claiming two top-level strikers from the younger generation strongly depends on the presence on the field of a striker who is well over 30. On the one hand, it is wonderful that the team still finds opportunities even in such conditions to win matches and continue to stay at the top, but on the other hand it is dangerous and can play against the club at another most inopportune moment, as happened in the recent cup match with Athletic.

Inter should make every effort in all tournaments in which it takes part, and then how the situation will develop, because such reasoning in the style of this is important to us, and this is not so important will not lead to anything good. Also, do not forget that continuing to participate in the Champions League promises a good income for the club, and for Inter, with its not the simplest financial condition, this is very important at the moment. In any case, we must proceed from the fact that the situation in the championship can eventually be corrected because there are still a sufficient number of matches ahead, but it will not be possible to correct the relegation from cup competitions.

I do not think that the match with Burnley for Manchester United is exactly the match in case of failure in which some organizational conclusions regarding Rangnick may follow. I think the same about the positive outcome of the match for Manchester United. I think that in any case, the Manchester United management did not expect any special miracles from the team's performance under the leadership of Rangnick, and that is why the temporary status of the German specialist was specially emphasized and the most important task now is to somehow get to the end of the season and try to win a place in the next Champions League draw.

Well, Guardiola may just want to have an elementary rest and just take some break from his coaching career, just like Zidane did now As for who can make Guardiola similar conditions financially, Newcastle immediately comes to mind, who can make an offer even better. Another question is that it is not at this moment in time and there is still a lot of uncertainty. Therefore, I also do not rule out that Guardiola is taking a break from work for one season and is already returning to Newcastle, where the necessary infrastructure will already be built to solve the high tasks that Pep is used to. Therefore, I would advise you to keep this option in mind when it comes to Guardiola's future.

It's hard to think of a better debut than scoring a goal in his first match for a new club for a striker. Many thanks to Milan for showing character, which allowed to turn the course of the match and win over their sworn friends from Inter. It is also remarkable that Napoli supported this impulse and defeated Venice, and thanks to this, the intrigue in the fight for the Scudetto spun with renewed vigor. Also, thanks to this, the conversations of those who have already begun to hang gold medals on the necks of Inter football players should subside. Napoli seems to have overcome its black streak and continues to fight for the title, also Juventus is not so far away from Atalanta. What is confusing about Atalanta is that as soon as the team has a chance to get closer to the leaders, it immediately misses it.

I still hope that the players are professionals and it will not come to real hostility. Also, the post-match story gives hope for this, when after the end of the final, Mane approached Salah and tried to console him. I perfectly understand Salah's feelings when he didn't even manage to shoot in the penalty shootout, but I still don't think that this will greatly affect the interaction on and off the football field. Although, of course, it is clear that Salah's mood level will be clearly lower than Mane's. On the other hand, it may even have a positive effect on Salah's game for Liverpool, when the football player, thanks to his game for the club, will try to remove the negative that remained after the lost final.

I would still not be in a hurry to bury the intrigue in the fight for victory in the Bundesliga, but still 5-2 from Leverkusen is a strong blow both to the championship prospects of Borussia Dortmund and to the pride of the team itself. Because losing with such a score at the home stadium to your closest pursuer is not the best option, because at this rate you can remain without a second place in the standings. The absence of Haaland cannot explain the fact of five goals conceded in any way, because this indicates problems with the defensive line and Haaland's specialization is still scoring goals to the opponent. As for the championship intrigue, of course, it is clear that now everything depends on the game of Bavaria itself, its downturns.

I also think that only the absence of the title of the winner of the Champions League can make Guardiola think about continuing cooperation with Manchester City. As for whether the club's management will offer him a new contract, it seems that winning the Premier League this season will completely satisfy the club's management. Another question is how long Guardiola agrees to continue his work at the club. I don't think Pep will leave the club after this season, but really winning the Champions League trophy can negatively affect the prospects of continuing his career at the club. However, I do not rule out the possibility that Guardiola, on the contrary, will want to repeat the success with the team he has already built.

Yes, Barcelona's victory over Atletico Madrid can have a big impact on the future of both Barcelona and Atletico. Atletico Madrid continues to disappoint its fans and ordinary viewers this season. Never has one of the strongest defensive lines in La Liga constantly malfunctions and if earlier a good defensive game allowed to achieve results in the form of minimal victories, now two goals scored did not even allow to achieve a draw. No wonder Diego Simeone said after the match that they defended well in the last ten years, but this year... Sevilla failed to win this round, offensively not scoring a penalty in the time compensated by the referee and missed Real Madrid by two more points, but still the gap is not catastrophic.

I would also like to say that for me personally, this win is notable not just for the fact of winning with such a large score, but in the light of the upcoming Champions League matches with Real Madrid. If everyone has been criticizing Paris Saint-Germain lately and there was every reason for this. Let's recall the recent relegation from the French Cup. Messi's not exactly impressive statistics in games for Paris Saint-Germain, coupled with a lot of missed matches, also added optimism. And even more recently, information flashed that Messi admitted at a meeting with Xavi that he could not adapt to the club. Therefore, a goal and an assist should add optimism to the player from Argentina.

It's not that Barcelona personally suddenly took and refused the title in La Liga, but that it will be very, very difficult to do it physically. In any case, Barcelona still has the task of being as high as possible in La Liga and winning a place in the Champions League next season, because if it fails, it can hit the club hard financially. Therefore, you can say as much as you like that the Europa League is Barcelona's only chance for the title this season and Barcelona will throw its strength at winning this prize, but you have to be realistic and say that La Liga also remains very important for the club, despite the meager chances of the championship.

No one denies that Benfica or Ajax are strong enough and able to go through one or two stages of the Champions League, but I have very big doubts that these clubs are able to win the Champions League in the end. Anything can happen in football, of course, and we love it for that, but with all due respect to these teams, it's hard for me to imagine that they have enough reserve strength and strength to successfully overcome all the remaining stages of the tournament. The only thing is that during the draw of the subsequent stages, the clear favorites of the entire tournament will face, such as the current pair of Paris Saint Germain against Real Madrid, and Benfica or Ajax, on the contrary, will be lucky with the tournament grid.

Antonio Conte may leave the club himself at the end of the season, if he is not satisfied with the transfer campaign that is being conducted by the club, fortunately there are precedents and have not yet had time to be erased from memory I think it's worth waiting for the end of the season and what dynamics Tottenham will show under Conte's leadership. Still, a conditional second or third place in the Premier League in the future is not so important for Kane, because the player already wants to finally start winning titles, and not be constantly on the approaches to these titles, as it has constantly happened with Kane throughout his career in the team. Therefore, yes, I would rather agree that if there is no dramatic improvement in Tottenham's results, then Kane should think about changing the team, especially if Manchester City has not changed his mind.

Oh, it's just not leaking out and the team's results seem to be getting better lately. Mourinho is a great motivator and has achieved a lot in football thanks to this, but at the same time he is quite toxic when the team does not succeed and this has been manifested more often lately. This is the reverse side of the coin of the phenomenon of such coaches as Mourinho or Conte, when specialists shake up the team in the shortest possible time and force them to show much better results, but this lasts for a maximum of several seasons and then the specialist is forced to leave, heating up relations with the team and its management to the point of impossibility.

Given the number of remaining clubs in the Champions League draw, I don't think Paris Saint-Germain's 10% chance of winning the title is that small I assure you that if Paris Saint Germain passes Real Madrid in the 1/8 finals and shows a confident game at the same time, then the bets of the club from Paris will rise sharply. By the way, the upcoming probable departure of Pochettino and Mbappe may, on the contrary, liberate the team and the club may begin to show a higher-class game. The main problem of a club like Paris Saint-Germain is a higher level than the rest of the French championship clubs. This hinders the mood in certain matches, when the team cannot gather psychologically and show the desired result in one particular match, which happened recently in the cup match with Nice. And it also interferes with matches on the international stage, because it is difficult to switch to another level when the level of competition is much higher.

In the end, everything will depend on the financial needs of Lewandowski himself, because the title of the best FIFA player for two years in a row, in theory, allows you to ask for more money under an extended contract. On the one hand, Bayern Munich may not agree to this given the age of the player, on the other hand, I don't think Lewandowski will have any problems finding the club that will agree to pay more. The problem with age is purely physiologically not a problem at all and should not be an insurmountable obstacle at the current level of medicine and the training process. Especially considering the playing role of Lewandowski on the field, who, thanks to his experience, can find the right point to make a striking shot at the goal or create a moment for himself.

The mentality of the team, of course, plays an important thing, but still not decisive, and thanks to the peculiarities of the cup system, everything can be decided in one single match. Paris Saint-Germain has all the ingredients to finally win the Champions League, like a good selection of performers, a qualified coach, a solid material base. Another question is that this is not the advantage that would make Paris Saint-Germain the undisputed favorite in the upcoming confrontation with Real Madrid, so I would not be very surprised if a club from Paris goes on following the results of the matches, but I would also not be surprised if this lucky club turns out to be from Madrid.

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised at all that the situation with the failed transfer to Real Madrid sometimes haunts him in nightmares. Nevertheless, the title of the winner of the Europa League is not the maximum level that this undoubtedly talented goalkeeper deserves at the club level. Moreover, his style of play perfectly suited the conditions of the Spanish championship and he could make an invaluable contribution to the success of Real Madrid, and accordingly his personal successes would be supplemented by team successes of the international top level. But unfortunately, the beautiful fairy tale did not work out and de Gea is forced to accept recognition as the best goalkeeper of the Premier League, but at the same time remain without team titles for the last five years.
