Evet eğer Fenerbahçe bu kupayı almayı da başaramazsa bu sezon onlar için oldukça kötü bir şekilde sonlanacak gibi duruyor. Galatasaray net bir şekilde ligi kazanmaya yakın duruyor.

Fenerbahçe bugün oldukça güzel bir iş çıkardı ve Sivasspor'u 3-0 ile geçmesini bildi. İlk maç da 0-0 bittiği için finale yükselmiş oldular. Batshuayi 1 gol ve 1 asist günün öne çıkan oyuncularındandı. Yarın da rakipleri belli olacak ve bence Başakşehir de Ankaragücü'nü eleyip finale çıkar. Finalde de ben Fenerbahçe'nin kazanan taraf olacağını düşünüyorum. Bildiğim kadarıyla bu kupayı alan hala Avrupa Ligi'ne katılabiliyor. Ligde artık 2. bitiren bile Konferans Ligi'ne gittiği için bu kupa oldukça önemli.

Such a wonderful season for Lens so far! They have made themselves more comfortable at the second position after defeating Lorient away also. I think they absolutely deserve the position they are at now because of Marseille's throwing their chances so many times. It was another time Marseille did this against Lille last week. It is just like the season has finished for them already.

But I find this attitude wrong about Marseille. Because there is a big difference between finishing a season at the 2nd and 3rd positions. The team finishing as the 2nd qualifies for the Champions League groups directly while the 3rd team have to play extra rounds to earn their right to join the groups.

But now only thing I see is that Lens deserve to join the groups more than them. 

There is a rival club for Arsenal about signing Declan Rice in the summer - Bayern Munich. Before anything else I feel like this time West Ham can't keep Rice in the team anymore. Because this season has been horrible for them in the EPL especially. Maybe they have reached the finale in the ECL but even if they win that title and qualify for the Europa League I don't think this would be enough to keep Rice here.

Rice would like to play for a top team joining the Champions League next season rather than that. But I wonder which side he would like to pick. Actually I feel like he won't prefer to leave England after having his whole career so far here. Therefore Arsenal would come one step forward in this race. Besides I think he would play for more time compared to Bayern Munich too in my opinion.

After a long journey Arsenal gave up on the league title earlier than I hoped for. But considering that I had no such expectation from them at the beginning of the season, this is still a great success for Arsenal. They are a very young team now and there isn't a big squad depth also. They still stayed in the title race for a long time which is admirable.

However they will need to start to prepare for next season as soon as possible after the end of this one. Because the current players won't be good enough to do something noteworthy in the Champions League or even maybe to be consistent in the Premier League. They should have a huge budget to use in the coming transfer window and they had beter use it efficiently.

Dortmund artık buradan da işi batırmasın bi zahmet.    2-3 kere daha eline liderlik fırsatı geçmişti ama bu liderliği çok uzun bir süre koruyamadılar. Bu sefer aynı senaryonun yaşanmasını beklemiyorum. Mainz ile içerde oynayacakları maç adeta bir hediye gibi bir şey. Çünkü Mainz'in Avrupa kupaları için şansı da tükendiğinden çok fazla direnç gösterebileceğini sanmıyorum.

Gerçekten kim derdi ki Dortmund bu şekilde şampiyon olsun ama tam da böyle olmak üzere. Bayern Münih'in yaptığı büyük hata onlara pahalıya mal olacak. Terzic de böylece Bayern Münih'in 10 sezon ardarda şampiyon olma rekorunu bitiren teknik direktör olarak anılacak ve bu çok özel hissettirir tahmin ediyorum ki.

Guardiola has been targeting to complete the missing piece of the puzzle for Manchester City for years. It is a Champions League title of course but it looks like they are very likely to make the dream come true this season. After adding this achievement to his collection with this team also I wonder what his future plans would be.

Indeed he still has 2 more years on the existing contract but after achieving the main target maybe he might even want to look for new adventures. I mean he would stay for one more season in my opinion but after that we might see him leaving maybe. I don't have such expectation like he decides to be open for an offer from PSG side this summer after achieving the Champions League title.

I still think Zidane is the best name for the position at PSG now also.

My bet on a double chance on Real Sociedad against Barcelona won and this makes me think about a similar bet on the Valladolid - Barcelona match also. Because why not? Barcelona already have no target to achieve from now on as they have made their title official. I wouldn't even be surprised if Xavi rotates the lineup significantly against Valladolid to keep his important players away from an unwanted injury now.

On the other hand Valladolid have to get some points on the remaining match weeks to get out of the relegation field immediately. This is one of the toughest fixtures for them on paper maybe but they shouldn't be scared of Barcelona at the moment. They are playing against an aimless team right now so they should play fearlessly to get points in this match.

In my opinion the final score will be 1-1 or maybe Valladolid can somehow manage to win by 2-1.

I see that people haven't been talking about the Coppa Italia for a long while on this thread. I just want to refresh the thread a little by sharing my opinion about the final match tomorrow:



Tomorrow night we are going to have the finale in the tournament finally between Fiorentina and Inter.

First of all Inter have been a winner team so far. Because they won the Supercoppa Italiana title by defeating Milan comfortably - 3-0. This must have motivated them to fight harder in other tournaments also. Because right now they are on the verge of doubling the number of titles they have this season. Fiorentina haven't had a much good season but they have reached the finale here. However their opponents haven't been tough ones in general. I mean they were Cremonese, Torino and Sampdoria. Now there is a really big challenge ahead of them.

Truthfully I will be waiting for Inter to win another title in regular time. But I expect a close score like 1-0 or 2-1.

Erling Haaland has the most goals record in a season with 36 goals already and he is likely to improve it more on the remaining 2 match weeks also. I don't know if anyone can answer him by breaking the new record later but for now Haaland is admired the most. He has been continuing to carry his career to a much higher level since the day he joined Manchester City.

However I don't know how many years he would play for Manchester City. Because him and his father has already left the door open for other options after the end of the next season. I remember a statement by his father that he would remain here for 2 or 3 years the most and be ready for new adventures after.

I think that Roma's strategy is going to be play balanced first. I don't expect an all-out-attack strategy from them as it would be a big risk in the finale. It isn't even Mourinho's style either unless they face a much weaker opponent. Sevilla are like the king around here so Roma will need to keep things as balanced as possible. If they give the lead to Sevilla then their job can be much more difficult.

Because Sevilla are also good at keeping their advantage in the Europa League just as Roma. Until Roma get ahead by score I don't expect any defensive game plan from Mourinho. Maybe he parked the bus against Leverkusen in the rematch but it was to keep the score advantage until the end. They would aim the same thing here most probably.

Sevilla are favoured by the odds for now but the margin is a really slight one.

It is indeed very surprising to see both Korea teams to be out this early. They were bulldozed by China teams hard really. Peyz and Gumayusi both weren't able to play in the way they actually wanted against Elk and Ruler during this tournament. Ruler is already the best bottom laner among them in my opinion and Elk also impressed me a lot here also. There are only 15 minutes to go for the final series to start. It has been a big joy to watch China teams until now and hopefully this series will also be delightful.

Maybe the LPL finale ended like that but here I will wait for a more competitive series. But still JDG are the favourite team at a serious rate right now and I also expect them to be the winner.

It is going to be very disappointing for Bayern Munich to lose their title chance this easy. But they totally deserve that after this huge loss against Leipzig home. They just gave up on the title before their supporters in Allianz Arena. There is nothing more humiliating for them I guess. But I believe it would be very unfair to judge Tuchel harshly for this. He hasn't even managed the team for a long time period.

Nagelsmann brought things to this point mostly as you already know. It would be the funniest action to take for Bayern Munich if they sack Tuchel only a short time after he joined. I know that it is very annoying for Bayern Munich fans. But I think that this is totally related to the players rather than Tuchel. They just don't play like they believe in themselves completely sometimes.

These things have been dropping down the team into a worse place. Plus Bayern Munich absolutely need a striker like Lewandowski immediately.

Even though Atletico Madrid have started to make big progress I still don't believe they will just act like nothing happened in this season. This season was nearly a copy of the previous one for them and this is even a bad version of it. Because they were again out of the La Liga title race early but this time they were even worse in the Champions League. They disappointed their fans a lot.

In the same way we didn't see much achievement from them in the Copa del Rey either. I know that they faced Real Madrid in the quarter finals but still they could have done better. They are about to finish another season with zero title. When we consider the general quality of their players this shouldn't be acceptable for Atletico Madrid.

I think the board will think of changing some things seriously. Maybe a change in the coach position after all these years might be a good starting point. I respect Simeone's successes with them in the past but I think this must be it.

After T1's defeat against JDG by 3-2 I thought that we wouldn't have seen a bigger defeat in the remaining time of the MSI tournament. But today Gen.G were literally destroyed by BLG. Chinese teams have been showing spectacular performances until this point. But still I would have liked to see some resistance from Gen.G as they are the LCK winner as you know. I even expected a win from Gen.G after a tough fight.

In this disappointing table I didn't like especially Doran's performance after watching him in one of the games in the series. I don't know why but he seems like he is lost these days. He is quite prone to make simple mistakes.

Apart from Ferrari's being still a problematic team I would like to point out a fact about Leclerc also. It really started to feel like Leclerc will have a huge difficulty in winning a championship even if his car gets faster than Red Bull's. Because the number of simple mistakes he makes continues to increase. The Azerbaijan GP weekend must be one of the greatest examples for that.

He literally made the same mistake twice in free practice and qualifying sessions. He also stated his sorrow about these mistakes. He needs to get over these things as soon as possible. He needs to be a much more concentrated driver than this. Because Formula 1 is a sport that really doesn't forgive this kind of mistakes.

This is like the most clear chance for Dortmund to win the Bundesliga title in the recent years. Maybe I'm too optimistic right now but there is still a chance for making it. I know that Bayern Munich are on a really good run for a couple of weeks and they are also completely focused on the title. It is the only thing they have left in their hands now in the end. Looking at their remaining matches the only tough one seems to be against Leipzig.

Koln wouldn't stand much chance against Bayern Munich I assume because they don't have any target to achieve as of now. Leipzig are Dortmund's only hope but their job is still very difficult as the match is in Allianz Arena. It doesn't feel like Bayern Munich would lose points in this one but we never know. Leipzig are trying to maintain themselves in the top 4 area so they should be doing their best in this.

No matter what I will still congratulate Terzic about his and his players' great effort during the season. Bayern Munich's unbalanced times has also been a serious help but it is still nice to see a title race until the end.

Valencia kalırsa önümüzdeki sezon da bu kadar iyi oynar mı bilemedim ama elinden geleni yapacaktır orası kesin. Çünkü bu sezon adeta kariyerinin en iyi performansını gösteriyor. Süper Lig'in katsayısı doğru düzgün bir seviyede olmuş olsa neredeyse altın ayakkabıya oynayacak.    Ben hangi Avrupa kulüplerinden teklif alır diye merak ediyorum ama daha çok bana Arabistan takımlarından sağlam teklifler gelebilir gibi geliyor.

Şampiyonluk yarışında fark hala 5 puan ve adım adım Galatasaray şampiyonluğa doğru ilerliyor. Sıradaki maçları Sivasspor'a karşı içerde olacak ve bu maçı da kazanacaklarına inanıyorum.

This is just poor game by Roma and I don't want to see them in the finale by eliminating their opponent like this. Mourinho's current strategy really annoys me as I hate fully defensive game plans. They didn't need to be afraid of anything. Of course it would be better to be more careful with their defending but this is too much. They have been just letting Leverkusen come with all they have.

Maybe it is working out for now but it is still very risky. Roma have only 1 goal attempt in the whole match. They can't even pass the ball to each other very much and the number of dangerous attacks has also been pretty low. This isn't football to me it is just the most boring sport in the world right now.

Just because of this I wouldn't like to see Mourinho managing a top team which are much better use for attacking football.

I will go on with a bet on double chance for Real Sociedad in their next match against Barcelona in Camp Nou. Call me crazy but I don't think it is a low probability. Instead especially after Barcelona's declaring the La Liga title it is even more sensible to trust their opponents with goals more. Real Sociedad are trying to secure a place in the Champions League and they shouldn't leave this to chance of course.

Who knows maybe Villarreal will keep a winning streak until the end of the season which would increase their chance of taking the fourth place from Real Sociedad. I know Real Sociedad have really tough opponents on the way but they shouldn't fear any of them. They should make them fear Real Sociedad by their high effort.

I said it like Manchester City would have bigger difficulties against big teams without Haaland's contribution. But they totally proved me wrong by demolishing Real Madrid by a whopping 4-0 score. They definitely deserved to reach the finale after this pure domination. They had some parts that they dominated in Bernabeu also but they weren't this much effective at finishing.

But here Real Madrid defense was also a big mess. I couldn't even understand the Militao choice. What did Rudiger do wrong to not get the shirt again? He was really incredible at defending Haaland well in the first leg. Militao's presence just made things worse. By the way Haaland couldn't do much thing in this leg also but it was still such a great example of team play.

The only thing Manchester City need to do as of now is to not underestimate Inter and that must be enough to win the Champions League title finally.
