popular team fires its coach even though the coach has made a good contribution usually has a reasonable reason or has a goal for the common good, but in the case of Xavi dismissal, this seems a little unreasonable to me because previously Xavi was very much retained after successfully managing Barcelona well even though with financial shortages.
after that, rumors spread that Barcelona wanted to keep Xavi for the next season, but I was surprised after reading posts by several people who said that Xavi had been fired and would be replaced by a new coach.
Isn't this something that makes us wonder what the purpose of all this is when firing Xavi who has helped change so much at Barcelona?

I thought that after Xavi was fired, it actually opened up an opportunity for Bayern Munich to try to bring in this coach rather than having to bring in Vincent Kompany, who has currently failed to bring Burnley to achieve good results in the EPL.
this should be the best choice for Bayern Munich and I am sure that if Munich makes an offer to Xavi, he will definitely accept the offer because it is better to coach a team that has quality players than to coach a team that cannot appreciate his contribution.

everyone has a different opinion but this time I support your opinion that is more realistic and looks more convincing.
anyone knows the comparison of Terzic with Ancelotti and everyone is even very sure that the results of the upcoming match are still Madrid who will win and there will be no surprise except the draw ended with the penalty round.
from the squad of the two teams, Madrid has a player who is truly more quality in terms of experience and also a mentality that is very ready to destroy the defense of the Terzic troops.
maybe Terzic has a few ways to try to provide resistance to try to get closer with luck but still the results are in vain when Madrid will dominate the match.

we can see from the odds provided by the bookmakers that Madrid is very favored while from other options such as Asian total or Handicap it is seen that the chances of Madrid victory are very large to be able to defeat Dortmund even if only with a very thin assistion.

I admit that 1 score that Xhaka managed to get was a very beautiful kick from a distance that could be right on target, I was even amazed to see the kick but I was just a little disappointed if the good opportunity when Xhaka got the ball in front of the goal failed to score even though it was very easy to score and for me 1 score is a very unsafe score.
but fortunately after Odilon received a red card and had to leave the field, Leverkusen performance did not decline and actually got stronger.
just imagine what if Odilon didn't get a red card, Leverkusen would definitely score in large numbers.
but it seems like Leverkusen doesn't want to score a big amount in this match, as seen from Xhaka who seemed to waste this good opportunity and also Frimpong wasted an opportunity when he was in front of the Kaiserslautern goalkeeper.

IMO, failure in the European League will not provide motivation for Xabi to get the DFB title, but this mistake will be corrected for the next appearance in the UCL and regarding this victory, this is not the motivation for this defeat because this DFB competition is very easy for Leverkusen to get when it comes to performance Kaiserslautern is not on par with Leverkusen.
I congratulate Leverkusen and Xabi who have succeeded in getting a good history this season and it looks like next season Leverkusen will have to bring in at least one experienced star player to be able to continue the positive trend of trying to get the title in the UCL.

TBH, actually many fans want to see Man United get a new coach to try to find a big surprise from another coach, but if that is Man United decision, the fans can only accept that decision and just try to believe that Ten Hag can provide something best in the coming season despite having a few doubts.
however, regarding Man United winning against Man City, do you believe that it was a pure victory from Man United performance?
sorry about this, it doesn't mean I doubt Man United but logically Man City should be able to win the title but we also have to be realistic that Man United and Man City are like brothers and on the one hand MU currently finishes in 8th position and doesn't get a ticket to compete in prestigious competition, but after winning the FA Cup title, at least MU won a ticket to appear in the European League competition next season.

that doesn't mean I think Man City is just giving in to Man United, but in reality that's what happened because before the match started I had an inkling that it would be possible for Man City to give his brother the FA Cup title so he could get a European League ticket for the following season.
and it turns out what I said came true and I had time to test my hunch, betting on the most comfortable option, even though the odds weren't too big, but at least my hunch was right.

yesterday's match was just like drama. I mean Madrid doesn't need to be too serious in yesterday's match and just needs a little warm up for the upcoming UCL match and everyone will understand the draw and I don't even need to bother betting on that match because I already have a feeling if there is a surprise in store. yesterday's match.
but regarding Madrid having to look for Dortmund weaknesses, there seems to be no need to doubt it and everyone knows what will happen.
you can see the results of the H2H meetings and the worst result Madrid ever got was a draw against Dortmund.

H2H cannot guarantee victory, but H2H is one way to convince ourselves to bet on Madrid, which is currently in very good condition without having injury problems for the main players and on the one hand, the last performance against Bayern Munich was one proof that it is easy for Madrid to get rid of teams from the Bundesliga whose weaknesses are already known.
I can't wait for the match and have prepared a large amount of money to bet on Madrid's victory.

this was all caused by the president of Napoli wanting a higher title (UCL) instantly and this ambition emerged after Spalletti succeeded in bringing Napoli to the top of the standings and the mistake of the Napoli president was simply being too indulgent in his own ego without thinking about the long term.
previously I said last season when Napoli fired Spalletti and was replaced Garcia, I was sure that Napoli would get bad karma after firing a coach who had really given Napoli a new history but was fired for a very ridiculous reason.
Napoli will never be successful even though they have so many star players as long as the Napoli president and management are too concerned about getting the title instantly, Napoli future will definitely only continue to end badly.

this season is proof that Napoli is getting bad results due to the ambition of the Napoli owner who continues to want to get something big but doesn't understand how to win this prestigious title.
while getting this prestigious title, all the teams that have won the UCL title always have a very long journey and always give opportunities to coaches who have provided little evidence of previous results.
we can see this evidence from the number of times in one season that Napoli replace coaches and it seems as if the management is very confused and worried about how to improve the team's performance.

there was something strange about Xav dismissal, whereas if Barcelona were all honest, they definitely wanted Xavi to stay, but who knows what Laporta purpose was in firing Xavi for unreasonable reasons.
If it was just to hide something that the public doesn't know about, it could actually be a bad threat to Barcelona reputation because initially it was very clear that Barcelona wanted Xavi to stay but surprisingly the latest news came that Xavi had been fired from Barcelona.
I also heard the news that Barcelona actually already has a candidate to replace Xavi but I'm not sure whether the news is true and in my opinion this is also one of the pros and cons when Xavi was fired but chose to bring in a new coach who is not known whether he can manage Barcelona well.

meanwhile, Xavi is very clear that there is no doubt that he can manage Barcelona players well even with only the existing players, but being able to get the runner up position is a success for Barcelona compared to finishing below the top 5.
let's see what Laporta will provide and whether he will give a big surprise from the new coach he chose or maybe disappointment after sacking Xavi.

I prefer to predict realistically and that means for me in terms of the depth of performance of the two teams, Man City is far above Man United, but I also don't doubt Man United because of course Man United is trying to get the title in the hope of getting a ticket to the European league next season.
so even though Man City will be able to beat Man United, Ten Hag troops will definitely try to make it difficult for City to get lucky and score a bigger score, even though it's impossible.
even though Man United looks weak, they have high hopes of getting lucky in today's match.

from the speculation I think this match will likely end 3-2 and Man City will look superior in the first half but Man United will try to provide resistance in the second half.
Ten Hag must try to improve his performance in this match after failing to get Man United a ticket to the prestigious competition in the coming season.

let's stop talking about Leverkusen and Real Madrid, which are too far apart.
as you said, it is very rare for Madrid to lose in the final round and I even thought that if Madrid succeeded in reaching the final round, it would be like a guarantee for Madrid to get the UCL title this season.
I am confident in saying this because Madrid playing style is very clear that all Madrid players have greater self confidence and can always attack the opponent's defense even though they are also attacked by the opponent but in fact they can progress to the final round.
I have often said this but I might have to say it again if we can compare the quality of Dortmund performance with Bayern Munich which both have almost the same performance but Bayern Munich has a stronger attack line.
meanwhile, Dortmund only has a strong defense but does not have a strong attack line, which means that Madrid will not worry too much about its attack line and Ancelotti only needs a little strategy to strengthen the attack line.

TBH, I actually wanted Ancelotti to use the same formation as when facing Bayern Munich at that time because for me this formation was very appropriate to make it difficult for Dortmund to score.
Madrid defense just needed focus not to give Füllkrug, Sancho and Julian Brandt a chance.
these three Dortmund players must really be paid attention to because these players have a good talent for stealing opportunities from opponents and I hope Ancelotti understands which players should be prioritized to block.

It's a little surprising why Barcelona didn't have a strong stance at that time when Xavi wanted to leave Barcelona, but Barcelona kept him in the hope that Xavi would stay for at least one season, but after Xavi tried to be sure and accept the offer, Barcelona itself fired him and chose Hansi Flick as Barcelona coach in the coming season.
honestly, I'm just saying my thoughts, but is this news really official from Barcelona?
I don't doubt Hansi Flick but I just think Barcelona best period was with Xavi when they were short of players, Xavi was still able to rotate players well even though he didn't get any titles this season but at least last season he still had a good achievement in getting the La Liga title.

Hansi Flick may be an experienced coach but I still have a little doubt that he will become Barcelona coach because managing a team with poor financial conditions is not an easy task for a coach to be really, really careful when implementing any policy because it will have a big impact on Barcelona future.
If that is Barcelona management's decision, we can only accept it and see what will happen later.

Guardiola success was not only in getting the EPL title and chasing the FA Cup title but also breaking new history of dominating the EPL title 4 times in a row.
this has been the biggest part of Guardiola success since winning the UCL title last season and getting the treble winner and now getting new success to replace the disappointment of Man City fans.
FA Cup would certainly be easy for Man City if they really had the goal of replacing the UCL title, even though it is not very prestigious, the FA Cup could at least provide better achievements in the long term to give the players confidence to continue to be enthusiastic in the coming season and dominate the EPL title again.

BTW, I heard news from several people regarding rumors that KDB will leave Man City to pursue his dream of appearing with Ronaldo, is this news true or not?

not sure whether Rashford will accept the offer from PSG because even though his performance is not very good, it seems like Man United still needs players like him who can always provide opportunities for other players to score.
and for me Rashford performance this season doesn't look that good but this isn't the first time because this has happened frequently since the last few seasons and is not a big problem for Man United.
Rashford productivity is still very good in every match, he can make quite an impressive contribution, but it's just that this season Rashford is a little less enthusiastic than the previous season and this is an opportunity for PSG who know that Rashford seems to have a little problem regarding his comfort in appearing with Man United.

I don't know if this is just my opinion or is it true, but what is certain is that next season, Rashford will likely stay with Man United even though he needs new experience with another coach, but he can't do anything as long as the team still keeps him.

even the bookmakers didn't think that Atalanta would win yesterday's final because as far as I remember Leverkusen odds were around @1.8 and Atalanta @4
It is very clear that the bookmakers really favor Leverkusen because of their very strong performance and look very convincing when they have the dream of realizing the treble winner title and also getting a new history without being defeated.
It seems like we have all been lied to by Leverkusen performance which initially looked very strong but it turns out we trusted Leverkusen too much and ignored H2H.
while H2H, although it doesn't have much influence, there are still a few good predictions if we consider the match results from H2H and we won't easily believe Leverkusen performance.

a very bad dream, a surprise occurred in the European League final, which at first was really believed by most people to say Leverkusen would win, but it turned out that Atalanta smiled even wider when they heard someone say that Leverkusen would win.
Atalanta managed to give a very big surprise to its fans who were very happy after their favorite team scored 3 scores without a fight.

rather it is better to bet on teams that have very clear goals such as Atalanta, Roma and Lazio.
these three teams both have very strong goals when Atalanta must get at least 3 scores in the remaining matches to stay in 5th position because under Atalanta there is Roma who want to catch up on the difference in points and hope to get a ticket to the UCL.
on the one hand, below Roma there is Lazio which only has a difference of 3 points and this means that Lazio also hopes to get a ticket to the European league.

It may seem impossible but for me these three matches would be more comfortable to include on the parlay betting slip because these three teams will most likely be chasing wins in the remaining matches this season.
and for top teams such as Inter, Milan, Juventus and Bologna it seems that one of these matches will provide a few surprises, especially Bologna and Juventus.
or perhaps having other options besides betting on 1x2 such as betting on the total score of both teams would be much more convenient.

If we talk about Barcelona weaknesses and deficiencies, of course the entire line looks very weak which is only occupied by free players from the transfer market and on the one hand, fixing all this takes a very long time and of course requires very high costs.
Barcelona future depends on Barcelona financial management which must continue to take wise actions to bring about change slowly.
maybe in the future we will only see Barcelona appearance which is not very attractive, but believe me, the management is trying to improve finances to be able to solve every problem and be able to bring in quality players.

bringing in quality players is really wanted by Xavi, who currently as a great coach is able to get the best ranking in the standings even with only existing players without being able to bring in more talented players.
just imagine what if Xavi was able to bring in quality players according to his wishes, Barcelona would definitely have a great chance of dominating La Liga again and would even be ready to compete in a prestigious league like the UCL.
Barcelona is currently planning the best thing and it looks like they will sell several players who are no longer productive and will bring in younger players as free agents.

regarding PSG future without Mbappe, it doesn't seem like it will be a big problem as long as there are still substitute players to fill the empty spot left by Mbappe, of course PSG performance is still very strong, capable of dominating the League 1 title in the next few seasons as long as no other team is there can bring in more quality players than PSG.
Mbappe departure is the biggest blow at the moment when PSG has to learn not to just rely on star players and has to learn to build new talents from young players to be able to get big contributions from young players whose talents have been developed previously and PSG is very popular now so they don't need star players only to increase the popularity of PSG big name.

well, as I said, I will never doubt the League 1 title because PSG is the richest team that can bring in more quality players and dominate League 1, but regarding winning the UCL title, it seems very difficult to get.

next season will be a very ridiculous season when Vincent Kompany must feel confident that he can manage Bayern Munich well while he has led Burnley to relegation. Lol
I have to agree with @Oluwa-btc that it would be better to keep Tuchel than bring in an inexperienced coach like Vincent Kompany just because he wants to get results like Xabi.
this is truly a very ridiculous thing that Bayern Munich did without thinking about the long term regarding the future of Munich which should get a better coach than Vincent Kompany.
even though there are still many better coaches, as mentioned by @Oluwa-btc, there is still Pochettino, who is currently being fired by Chelsea when he has made very good improvements and that is proof that Pochettino has better experience than Vicent Kompany.

what I'm thinking at the moment is why Bayern Munich has the thought of wanting to bring in a coach who has clearly failed to bring his team to survive in the EPL while there are still several better coaches and thinking about wanting to get better results, it won't be possible for Munich to get it if the team this brought in Vicent Kompany.
change will never happen and it will even get worse for Bayern Munich.

In conclusion, Man City has long been part of a team that was always well managed by the previous coach and when Guardiola arrived there brought bigger changes with more perfect player management.
as said by @DaNNy001, since Mancini and Pellegrini coaching period, Man City has looked better, it's just that at that time Man City needed an attacking strategy but still defended consistently and when Guardiola arrived, Man City became the team that had the greatest striker in the EPL and even in terms of consistency and the strategy that Guardiola uses, it is very difficult for opponents to predict.
so Guardiola plays an important role in improving the stable performance that Man City has had for a long time and I think Guardiola is likely to get a long contract with Man City.

last season's UCL title is proof that Guardiola is one of the best coaches out of the many coaches who have served as coaches at Man City and now this season failed to get the UCL title but that is not a failure because nothing is easy in the UCL competition.
even the strongest team in the world will not be able to dominate the UCL title because every season there are always changes.
at least Guardiola still has a chance to win the EPL title and one more title to be won in the FA Cup.
Man United is not the right opponent for Man City because it is a guarantee for City to get the title.

failure in the European league is not a failure to break Leverkusen spirit because Xabi has succeeded in helping Leverkusen get the Bundesliga title which has been dominated by Munich for so long and now still has high hopes of winning the DFB title to recover from the disappointment in the European league which they lost against Atalanta.
even though it looks very strong and still has great enthusiasm, it doesn't mean that Leverkusen can give a big surprise in the UCL as long as the mentality of the Leverkusen players is still the same as in the European League match yesterday, while the competition in the UCL is very tight and the mentality of the players is an important role for Leverkusen to prove a surprise in the UCL next season.
unless there are changes to the attack line which will be replaced with players who are more experienced and have a champion's mentality who can help Leverkusen become even stronger.

this defeat was indeed a bit unacceptable for most fans, but for me this failure must be tolerated because Leverkusen so far does not have the readiness or experience in terms of competing for the European League title and on the one hand, the experience of a great coach like Xabi is also not very good. has great experience of winning a prestigious title like this season.

well, from here we should be able to understand that the UCL and the European league are something different, I mean the UCL is a bigger and more prestigious competition while the European league may be one of the big competitions but not bigger than the UCL.
this means that every team that can successfully qualify for the final round of the UCL is the strongest team out of most of the teams that were eliminated and on the one hand experience is also very important in the UCL because this experience makes the players more confident and have a great mentality to beat their opponents and in fact it is the same as Atalanta is much more experienced than Leverkusen in European league competitions.
In yesterday's European League match, I might appreciate what other people said regarding the surprises that would occur, but in this UCL, for me, surprises will not happen and for me, Madrid seems to have guaranteed the UCL title.

the worst thing that Madrid will face is not defeat or in other words the surprise will come only to end in a draw.
we know why I say this and all of that is because Madrid reputation and great desire to win the UCL title is very close and will not be wasted.
one thing we forget is that Madrid has Ancelotti who is very experienced in winning the UCL title.
