Roma’s performance this season is no match for Napoli, the defending champions of the Serie A. It is a shame that there’ll not even make it to the champions league next season. Roma is the favourite for this match and will win the match against Napoli without much stress. Napoli already lost their stance this season and facing a tough club like Roma this season should be a big encounter to them because their defeat is imminent than a draw or a win for them. In the match of Milan against Juventus, Juventus will continue to fight for that top four position because they’ve not also escaped from being replaced by another team there due to their close difference in points to them.
Next week will present an interesting match, even though currently Inter have confirmed themselves as champions and won the Scudetto this season. The match between Juventus and Milan is an interesting one, where if the big match is won by Pioli fleet it will have an impact on changing the position in the standings. Juventus position will be threatened by Bologna who will play a match against Udinese.

On paper, Milan has a slightly higher chance of securing full points, because Juventus performance is experiencing a decline. Likewise with Bologna, Udinese needs a miracle to make Bologna stumble. I think these two matches involve the three top four teams in the standings, which are quite interesting to watch. While the other match, between Napoli and Roma, is actually no less interesting, I think De Rossi fleet is the favorite in that match.

Roma efforts to finish in the Champions League zone are increasingly difficult, because they lost to Bologna as direct competitors the previous week. Apart from that, I think the match against Napoli will still be troublesome for Roma, even though we know Napoli is in a slump. On the other hand, Napoli hopes of playing in European competition will be slimmer if they lose again, we don't expect the defending champions to lose their balance so quickly.

But the fact that he failed and that means he cannot bring Bayern to what it should be where the 11-season trophy that has been defended is just lost because of Tuchel's inability to give the best at Bayern is an undeniable fact.

When talking about the coach whether he is great or not indeed in the previous club he was a coach whose quality was above average but for Bayern it was still bad and a mistake.
Regardless of whether it is because the leadership style does not fit the philosophy that Bayern has or indeed because it is purely from Leverkusen who are extraordinary this season, it still cannot be used as an excuse for Tuchel now because he is a failure for Bayern.

In terms of Bayern failure to maintain their dominance this season, I'm more inclined to think that it's purely due to Leverkusen impressive performance, we can't blame Tuchel entirely. I think if Tuchel can bring Bayern to collect more than 71 points at the end of the season, it means that statistically Tuchel is still better than the previous coach. Last season Bayern won the trophy with 71 points, currently with 66 points and 4 matches remaining, Tuchel has the opportunity to take Bayern beyond last season points tally.

So with these facts, I think it is reasonable to assume that their failure this season was purely because Leverkusen appeared unbeatable. The luck of a team like Leverkusen will be very difficult to control, not only in the Bundesliga, we also know that Leverkusen is also very consistent in the Europa League and DFB Pokal. Luck is on the side of Xabi fleet, where no team has been able to beat them.

The ups and downs in performance that have befallen Bayern this season are not entirely acceptable, especially when they lose to mediocre clubs, it makes us surprised because they are not performing as usual. But on the other hand, Tuchel has been able to bring his fleet to the semifinals of the current Champions League, which is also a success, where last season they only reached the quarter finals.

Basically, about Xavi being willing to stay as Barcelona's head coach is not about being good for fans, but good for Barcelona's own finances . Because of course, if Xavi leaves then Barcelona will also spend a lot of money again to recruit a new coach. Because after all, at the same time Barcelona still needs to buy some players which of course Barcelona will still spend money in the transfer window later . Therefore, Xavi's stay clearly makes Barcelona's finances may remain a little good, but the news that Xavi chose to stay I am sure has nothing to do with fans, because fans also cannot do anything to make Xavi stay or leave.
Negotiations only involved club management and Xavi, fans were not involved in it at all. The agreement between both parties means that Xavi will extend his tenure as Barcelona coach next season. This agreement will certainly be very beneficial for Barcelona. This season's failure can be evaluated next season, Xavi certainly has several plans to face the heat of competition in different competitions next season.

Reshuffling the team is Xavi main focus, perhaps there will be several players who will be released to other clubs and there will also be quality players brought in. Xavi will try to provide something new for Barcelona next season that can entertain his fans. Winning the La Liga trophy and also the Champions League is still Xavi target with Barcelona.
Barcelona had another lucky break, even though it could be said that they would end the season without any title, management managed to convince Xavi to stay next season. With the club unstable financial condition, Xavi's decision to abandon his intention to leave will certainly benefit the team, we can imagine if Xavi left, Barcelona would have difficulty finding a new successor.

Renewing the squad will certainly be Xavi priority in the future, even though he can't bring in star players, I'm sure Barcelona will still be a team challenging for the title. Several young players have developed well, and Xavi will certainly rely on them to navigate the competition for the La Liga and Champions League trophies. Apart from that, it is very likely that Barcelona management will make the status of their loan players permanent first.

Barcelona fans certainly understand and understand the club abilities, where they will always support their favorite team even if they don't win any trophies. It is also not easy to compete with Madrid, which is financially stable. If the financial crisis improves, of course we will again see competitive and entertaining competition in the race for trophies in La Liga.

Even though the chances are quite small because there are only four teams left in this competition, this will also make it easier for everyone to guess which team will win the Europa League this season. I still have hope for Bayer Leverkusen to win this competition because of their performance which cannot be beaten by any team to date. But in this semifinal there will definitely be a more exciting match because the teams that have not been eliminated are the best teams with quite good performance so far.
After Liverpool were eliminated from this competition, the favorites to win the Europa League this season turned to Bayer Leverkusen who are having an extraordinary season with Xabi Alonso. Leverkusen can focus more on the Europa League after successfully locking in the Bundesliga title. Leverkusen very consistent level of play means that other teams have not been able to beat it this season.
An exciting match will certainly be presented at the Olimpico, Roma as the home team will try to give Leverkusen their first defeat while making their job easier in the second leg. On the other hand, Leverkusen, who is in high euphoria after winning the Bundesliga title, is certainly very motivated to beat Roma. Leverkusen, who is trying to win the Treble this season, will make Roma suffer another defeat like when they were humiliated by Bologna.

Unexpectedly, Liverpool were eliminated in the quarter finals, even though previously many were favorites for Klopp fleet to reach the final with Leverkusen. So Leverkusen is now automatically the most favorite club out of the three other contestants. Leverkusen chances of winning the European League are quite high. Until now, Xabi fleet has consistently maintained an unbeaten record, where it seems that Roma will not be able to beat them.

This season Leverkusen is one level above Roma, in many ways the Bundesliga champions are superior to Roma, one of the most striking is mentality. It's true, De Rossi has indeed taken Roma in a better direction, but the latest defeat to Bologna shows that they are not fully ready to face the pressure. In terms of preparation, Leverkusen looks more relaxed, while Roma must try to stabilize their performance in the Europa League and Serie A.

The match between Roma and Leverkusen will rely on home and away matches, it seems that both teams will appear more dominant when acting as hosts. However, Leverkusen actually deserved and deserved to advance to the final, Xabi succeeded in instilling a winning mentality into each of his players. We don't mean to underestimate Roma, we know they were finalists last season, where they also had the same chance of making Leverkusen taste its first defeat.

It probably does not mean anything to PSG to actually be able to win the Ligue 1 title. I honestly think that they do not even care about it at this point. The only thing they care about is winning the Champions League title and probably also keeping Mbappé in the team. The second option is not happening. Probably will try to win the Champions League with Mbappé. But I have a lot of doubts about that.

I understand that they are taking the most optimal decisions to actually win the Champions League competition. But I do not think they will actually be able to win the Champions League title. They are going to face Real Madrid in the Champions League. And a final between PSG and Real Madrid is obviously going to be a win for Real Madrid if I have to predict.
PSG next matches against Le Havre and Lorient will most likely be handled easily by Enrique, where PSG will be able to secure full points even though they played with a second line. The best result that the two teams could possibly achieve is holding PSG to a draw, but that still won't make PSG lose the Ligue 1 trophy this season. PSG priority scale is the Champions League, beating Dortmund and advancing to the final.

PSG chances of winning the Champions League trophy are quite difficult, where Madrid and Bayern are currently the favorites. However, to reach the final, I think PSG will be able to make it happen. It took great luck for PSG to win the most prestigious trophy in Europe, and it wasn't enough to rely on Mbappe alone. But what is clear is that Enrique must be able to maximize Mbappe potential before the player leaves next season.

Personally I think the decision by Sir Jim Ratcliffe who's happens to be the highest share holder at Manchester United to replace Erik ten Hag with current Bayern Munich boss at the end of the current season is a very good one. Erik ten Hag isn't the kind of manager that Manchester United need at the moment because of his poor tactical experience and decisions that's hugely cost the club a whole lot in the past.
Thomas Tuchel on the other hand haven't been a great manager at Bayern Munich since he signed for them and have made the club lose the league title for the first time in over 13 years but I there's no doubt to the fact that he's a better manager when compared to Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag because their records are there for everyone to see. Thomas Tuchel won the UEFA Champions League title with Chelsea in 2020/21 season after guiding Paris Saint Germaine to the final in the previous season. He'll definitely make a good manager for United if you ask me
Even though this season Tuchel failed to maintain Bayern dominance in the Bundesliga, I also think he is still better than Ten Hag. His success with Chelsea has at least made United fans believe in what Tuchel can offer in the future, Ten Hag deserved to be kicked out of Old Trafford. In essence, Ten Hag must be fired first, it's up to you who will be the manager of The Red Devils in the future.

Even though they managed to get United through to the FA Cup final, The Red Devils performance against mediocre club in the semifinals was very disappointing, and they almost got knocked out. It is very difficult to explain United decline this season, but in that case they are not alone, because there is another elite Premier League club who has had a worse fate than them, namely Chelsea.

However, rumors of Ten Hag dismissal still seem uncertain, with the club and Ten Hag himself not saying anything regarding his future. It seems United want to confirm Tuchel signature first, before kicking Ten Hag out of Old Trafford. Sir Jim Ratcliffe must take a firm stance to save the club, because if not Ten Hag could make United fall even worse.

There still 4 matchdays left and it should be possible for them maybe to get the 4th place back.
But for sure there main focus will be the upcoming Champions League game against Paris.
If they win the next game against Leipzig in Leipzig they have the 4th spot back , it will be hard but if they keep playing as they have don lately they have good chances.

I will be a big blow for Dortmund if they failed to finish in Champions League zone. It will hit hard their mentality, because this could be a continuity of their last season failure. Dortmund would have had a difficult situation to recover from. The fact that they still have focus on the Champions League semi-final makes things more complicated for them to go on.

It's impossible for them to focus only on one competition to save their fate for next season. Having a slight chance to Champions League and another chance to finish top four is a dilemma that doesn't have a right solution to solve, because they are not favorite in both situation. If they failed in one of those, things can get worse for the future.
Dortmund are faced with an unpleasant situation, where they are required to be able to perform stably in the Champions League and Bundesliga. The draw against Leverkusen was certainly very painful, because it happened in the last minute, if we had secured full points yesterday, perhaps the situation would have been a little different. We know that Leverkusen this season has been outstanding throughout the season, and that is a fair result for both teams.

Meanwhile, regarding Dortmund chances in the Champions League, I think their chances of beating PSG are low. Previously they had faced each other in the group stage, and Dortmund did not have the strength to beat PSG. Regarding Dortmund competition with Leipzig in the Bundesliga, the opportunity for Edin Terzic team to finish in the top four of the standings is still open, and next week they will face each other.

If Dortmund are eliminated in the Champions League by PSG, then fail to finish in the top four at the end of the season, then this is a very embarrassing season for them, as painful as Bayern losing their dominance to Leverkusen.

The problem is that when a change of coach occurs the attacking scheme and the chemistry between coach and players become less controlled, which makes Napoli conditions not go according to his wishes this season.
But its not unusual because despite Spalletti's presence in the end I doubt they can go back to back, only that they can improve their performance a little so that its not worse than today .  Now Napoli must be prepared with a wave of several players leaving because I'm pretty sure with the current conditions there will definitely be several players who will eventually leave Napoli to find a new club including Osimhen and Napoli must be prepared with this because for now in addition to the coach, the players must also be thought of so that next season's performance is not worse than the season.
Napoli management is faced with a difficult situation, where they have to find the right coach to navigate next season while keeping their players from going to other clubs. However, it seems that the departure of players like Osimhen cannot be stopped, considering that several elite European clubs are quite brave to redeem their release clauses, club officials will certainly find it difficult to refuse offers with large sums of money.

I think Napoli situation this season has been very chaotic, adaptation and chemistry don't seem to work for them, that's in line with the performance they've shown. Napoli target to finish in the European zone is still open, but with the unstable situation this seems difficult to achieve. Expectations to Napoli this season seem in vain, and it is possible that they will continue to experience setbacks.

Napoli opponents in the next five remaining matches are Roma, Udinese, Bologna, Fiorentina and Lecce. Roma and Bologna have the potential to make Napoli cry again, where Fiorentina can also do the same. The other two matches are relatively easy, it is difficult to guess how Napoli will end this season, and next season Napoli also seems to have difficulty rising to become a team challenging for the Scudetto title.

Previously, these two teams met in the Europa League semifinal match last season. Leverkusen failed and Roma advanced to the final round, but the difference is that AS Roma is now being handled by another coach, not Jose Mourinho. yeah, as I said in the previous post.

It was a really close matchup yeah. Leverkusen weren't this strong in the previous season and not much time passed since Xabi Alonso came as well. Roma still managed to eliminate them by only a score like 1-0 though. That was definitely Mourinho affect.  Tongue  He likes to focus on securing a score advantage to the end even if it is 1-0.

This time Roma and Leverkusen both are stronger but we must admit that Leverkusen are at just another level.  Smiley  I don't think De Rossi will be able to stop this powerful Leverkusen. But the first leg is in Rome so maybe a draw would be seen. Or even a win by one goal?  Grin  I'm curious about whether Roma will be the first team to make Leverkusen feel the emotions of getting a loss.
I inclined that the first leg match will end in a draw, and in the second round Leverkusen will beat Roma. As we know, Xabi fleet this season is one level above the other contestants including Roma, and I don't think Roma will be able to break Leverkusen unbeaten record. It's true that Roma have improved since De Rossi appointment, but Leverkusen is not a balanced opponent for them this season.

De Rossi success in improving the team performance is indeed worthy of appreciation, he managed to prove himself worthy of being Mourinho successor, especially after De Rossi succeeded in bringing their fleet to get rid of Milan and advance to the semifinals. It must be admitted that Roma cannot be underestimated, because after all they were finalists last season, but unfortunately the chances of Roma beating Leverkusen are quite low.

Leverkusen luck looks like it will continue until they win the Europa League trophy, no team has been able to beat them so far, their last match against Dortmund being a very clear example. Xabi fleet is now a frightening team for anyone, that is not an exaggeration at all because Leverkusen have gone through 45 matches without losing.

This season’s title chase is quite interesting and more complex than last season’s title race where it was only Arsenal and Manchester City; this season, Liverpool joined the race to make it interesting and as we can see now it has become complex and difficult to predict.

As it stands now, Arsenal lead the Premier League table with hip difference because Manchester City have an outstanding match; if Manchester lose any match, they might not win the league because I don’t think Arsenal will lose any match among their remaining matches even though they will ply Chelsea and Tottenham.
The dynamics of the competition for the trophy this season are very complex, involving three teams at once with points that are not much different. It is clearly quite difficult for all fans to guess which of the three teams will finish in first place when the season ends. Arsenal, who currently leads the standings, will be down in ranking again, because City still has one match postponed.

Arsenal defeat to Aston Villa, and Liverpool defeat to Crystal Palace in Week 33 made City very lucky, where the defeats of Arsenal and Liverpool were very surprising. Even though they lead the standings with a narrow points difference, that means a lot at the moment, because we can see how competitive the Premier League is this season. Apart from that, towards the end of the season all teams have the potential to create surprises, and also have the potential to cause title challengers to lose points.

It means nothing if Arsenal or Liverpool are able to secure full points in their remaining matches ahead, if City is also able to do the same. Arsenal ambition to end their title drought seems increasingly difficult, and Klopp ambition to present a trophy before parting ways is also equally difficult. Pep Guardiola is certainly quite happy with their current favorable situation, although on the other hand they have not been able to forget the disappointment of being eliminated in the Champions League.

Barcelona felt like they were robbed out of the game, but they've done the same to Madrid before, so it's karma. Real Madrid emerged victorious in El Clásico once again! Winning El Clásico has become a routine for Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham secured a stoppage-time winner once more. The title race effectively ended last night, with Madrid now leading by 11 points. They can now face Bayern Munich with renewed energy.
The competition for the trophy has finished with Madrid winning El Clasico. I think in the remaining matches in the future Los Blancos will sweep all matches with a win. There are no more opponents to trouble Madrid in the future, and now Ancelotti fleet leads the standings comfortably thanks to an 11-point difference with Barcelona. Xavi was of course very disappointed with their defeat yesterday, when they should have at least forced Madrid to share the points.

Bellingham again stole the attention, thanks to his goal in the added minute of stoppage time which ensured Madrid secured full points. Now Bellingham has collected 17 goals in La Liga, only 1 goal behind Artem Dovbyk who currently has 18 goals, the competition for top scorer will also become more interesting in the future. I think Bellingham is one of Madrid best signings in the last few seasons.

Next, Ancelotti fleet can prepare well to face Bayern, although before that they have to play another match against Sociedad, but Ancelotti can take it easy. Madrid ambition to win the La Liga and Champions League trophies is almost a reality, it is very likely that they will succeed in achieving it.

I also have no doubts and am quite confident that this season's Europa League trophy can be won by Bayer Leverkusen if you look at how solid the players Leverkusen currently has. And because in their own domestic league Leverkusen has already won a trophy this season, of course Xabi Alonso will put greater focus on the Europa League this season so that it is quite possible that Leverkusen can qualify for the Europa League final and win it.

Perhaps, at first Xabi Alonso only thought about improving the performance and quality of Bayer Leverkusen, but in reality Xabi Alonso succeeded in making Bayer Leverkusen win the Bundesliga title, and also succeeded in making Bayer Leverkusen undefeated. With this achievement, in reality Bayer Leverkusen still has a big chance of winning two other trophies this season in the DFB Pokal and in the Europa League. So yes, with an extraordinary opportunity like this, of course Xabi Alonso will continue to maximize it until he achieves greater success this season. In essence, because Bayer Leverkusen is still consistent without defeat until now, then of course Bayer Leverkusen really has a very high chance of getting the treble winner, and they really deserve it.
That was very appropriate, Xabi was appointed to lift the team performance from its downturn and of course management did not demand many things at the start of Xabi recruitment. Along the way, Xabi was able to manage the team very well, where he was able to bring Leverkusen from 17th place to finish in 6th place in the standings last season. It all started from there, and was added to by their movements in the transfer window last summer which were quite successful, one of which was the signing of Xhaka.

Xabi has succeeded in instilling a winning mentality in his players, this is the key to his entire strategy, which is why until now Leverkusen has not been touched by a single defeat. Their last match against Dortmund in the Bundesliga was proof of how good their mentality is, where they managed to equalize in the final minutes of the match, which was quite dramatic.

Thus, it is only natural that Leverkusen is predicted to be able to achieve a treble winner this season, where they no longer have tough opponents like Liverpool, now they are more favorite than Roma, Atalanta and Marseille in terms of winning the Europa League trophy this season. However, we are still aware that anything can happen in the future, but I am sure many people place Leverkusen as a strong candidate to win the trophy.

I'm sure both of them will score goals. Basically there is nothing AC Milan hopes for apart from maintaining its position as runner up and finishing in the top four, but apart from that Inter Milan also wants to win because of course to maintain the point difference as well as celebrate the victory faster and get the Italian league title. this season, they don't need to win with a high score, just a narrow win for Inter Milan is more than enough, this derby match is always eagerly awaited by every supporter because this is a prestigious match.

I'm sure this match will have high tension but I won't be able to predict who will win but I agree with you that both will definitely score goals so bet on the goals scored by both of them, but it's not important who will win in this match because Ac Milan just want to maintain their position as runners up and don't want Juventus to overtake them because the point difference is very close even though there is still a chance for Ac Milan to maintain the gap because there are still games remaining at the end of this season so they still have that chance at least to get a UCL ticket by finishing in the top four.
I don't think Milan will be able to postpone Inter Scudetto celebration party tomorrow, although we understand the purpose of the derby match between the two teams, but we can clearly see the strength and consistency of the two teams this season, in my opinion Inter is slightly better. The best result that Milan could possibly achieve is holding Inter to a draw, but in my opinion the Inzaghi fleet doesn't want to share the points and postpone their party.

Currently Milan is experiencing a decline in performance, especially after being beaten by Roma in the Europa League in two legs, so I think Inter are favorites in this match. Indeed, there are no guarantees, and it is possible that Milan will be able to create a turning point in performance and avenge their defeat in the first half of the season.

In essence, the Milan derby match will not have a big impact, because Inter just wants to lock in the Scudetto more quickly and Milan wants to solidify its position in second place in the standings. On the other hand, there is another quite interesting match tomorrow where Bologna will face Roma, we know that this is a competition to win a place in the Champions League zone.

Ancelotti experimented with his lineup again today, which was the riskiest decision I've seen so far. Tchouameni was plotted as a center back, then Camavinga was plotted as a left back, and what surprised me most was playing Kroos and Modric at the same time, in the many matches that Ancelotti has played, he has rarely fielded a starting XI like today El Clasico match.

In the Barcelona camp, Xavi also fielded his best starting XI, but De Jong had to be withdrawn due to injury. The score is still 1-1, both teams are playing openly and attacking each other, at first glance Barcelona is better organized. Lots of opportunities were created, but in trying to build an attack both teams quickly lost the ball, so they failed to convert it into a goal.

The match has been going on for more than 60 minutes, Xavi has rotated three of his players, while Ancelotti has not done so. There is still plenty of time to beat each other, Madrid seems a little tired after their energy was drained in the tough match against Man City yesterday. Barcelona ambition to reopen the competition for the trophy seems to have failed, because it is very likely that this match will end in a draw.

I am not entirely sure, I do see Bayern as a threat for Real Madrid, because Bayern at least has a striker with Kane, and maybe they would defend him as well as they did with Haaland, but to be fair we have never seen Haaland score a lot against bigger teams, he is usually a ghost on big games, Kane is not a striker that refrains from these type of games and could play very well, and this time Rudiger may not be enough.

We all remember how Haaland scored over Rudiger last season as well, just because they did alright this season doesn't mean they are going to be good against Bayern too. Don't get me wrong I am not saying Bayern will win, I am just saying it is not that guaranteed for Real Madrid to win, it is too close to call for me.
Yes, I understand what you are saying, and to be honest I also agree with you regarding the chances of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in this match. On the one hand, Real Madrid is more favored, but on the other hand, it is not a guarantee for them to win the match against Bayern Munich, which is one of the big teams in Europe, despite their slightly declining performance.
You are also right about their players up front, Kane. He will be a threat to Real Madrid's defense and Real Madrid must anticipate this player's movements. Kane has scored 7 goals in the Champions League this season, he is only 1 goal behind Mbappe and Luuk de Jong who have scored 8 goals in the Champions League. With the 7 goals he has scored, he has proven that he is a dangerous striker when he is in the opponent's defense. Real Madrid must be wary of him and also players who can provide him with a good supply of the ball.
However, judging from another point of view, Madrid was able to get rid of City, it feels like Ancelotti fleet will be able to beat Bayern. Of course there are no guarantees, we can only assume based on existing facts, and we know that both teams basically have the attributes needed to beat each other. It's just that this season Bayern appeared unstable in the Bundesliga, but in the Champions League they were able to show a different performance.

Meanwhile, both Madrid and Bayern have sharp attacking lines, but overall Madrid squad depth has more experience playing in the Champions League. This is of course very beneficial for Madrid, because the atmosphere of the Champions League is always full of pressure, and I think Madrid is slightly more favored to advance to the final.

In the first leg at the Allianz Arena I predict the match will end in a draw, and Madrid will win in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. On the other hand, I think a strong candidate to win the Champions League trophy this season is one of the teams that managed to qualify in the match between Bayern and Madrid, because I think this semifinal round is more difficult than the final round. Once again, this is all just a personal assumption, not intended to underestimate Bayern.

What makes it worse is that they were winning 0-3 in the first half and they managed to concede 3 goals in the last 20 minutes of the second half which shows just how bad Manchester United is during this season.I was just gambling and in the chat of the casino where I play people posted a lot of bets with one thing in common,Manchester United ruining all their bets and I felt bad for quite some of them as some of those bets were with odds from 80-790 and being ruined by such a team that were leading with 3 goals is simply really depressing to the gamblers to say the least.Based on such I wish Manchester United to be eliminated from the FA cup and wish Coventry to be the team that goes into the final,Manchester really screwed up really bad during this game,only penalties can save them.
How are you even sure that they will qualify through penalty shootout, because that is a game of luck. What if Coventry becomes lucky and win the penalty, it means that nothing good can come out from Manchester united this season, since they cannot defend three goals for 45mins.

What do baffle me is the game strategy in Ten Hag's head. If it is a game that Manchester is winning 1-0, the coach will tell them to play a defensive game, until the goal woukd be equalized. Now that they are already leading with 3-0, why did they not defend such goals, but instead they made it easy for the equalizer.
The course of today FA Cup semifinal match between Coventry and United is indeed very difficult for common sense to digest, where the Ten Hag fleet failed to maintain their lead until Coventry managed to equalize again in the second half. If only Coventry goal in extra time was confirmed, then United suffering this season would be complete. The ideal final that we hope will happen, pitting City against United, but in terms of strength the two teams are very different.

Starting from Ten Hag strategy and the enthusiasm of the United players in this match, it is questionable, they looked sluggish without enthusiasm even though the team they were facing was a mediocre club. I think many bettors experienced losses in this match, United performance this season has been very chaotic. Ten Hag should have been kicked out of Old Trafford, nearly every week he makes his fans hearts race.

Even though they have qualified for the final round, I think United are not the favorites, because there they have to face City. It could be said that this season United will end their campaign without any title, and without a ticket to the Champions League. Looking a little further ahead, club officials must think wisely, before the remnants of the glory that Ferguson achieved are all disappeared at the hands of Ten Hag.

No matter how many lashes from Bayern Munich against Union Berlin at Berlin's home ground, it won't have any effect other than just winning because Union Berlin is really weak this season. And as for Bayer Leverkusen itself, I don't think it needs to be said any more because the team has already celebrated its championship this season in the Bundesliga. Even though Leverkusen will continue to play to win until the end of the season because they themselves also really want to finish this season with nothing at all.

Bayern Munich big win against Union Berlin still had a good impact on the team, even though it didn't have any impact on the Bundesliga standings. Because after all, basically Bayern Munich still have to maintain or shape their morals and mentality to be better, of course to prepare for their Champions League semi-final match which they will still play against Real Madrid. Therefore, Bayern Munich's big win yesterday remains a good result and/or basis, because then Bayern Munich's morale and mentality will remain intact until they play in the Champions League semifinals later. So yes, basically it will always have a good impact, because there is still a chance for Bayern Munich to get good results in other competitions such as the Champions League.
A big victory that means nothing in the race for the trophy, where Leverkusen have confirmed themselves as Bundesliga champions this season. Sure enough, Bayern latest victory can help increase the players confidence, and that will have a big impact on their performance in the Champions League later. Even though Tuchel will definitely be kicked out next season, he must ensure that the remaining matches in the future do not seriously damage Bayern reputation.

On the other hand, regarding Union Berlin performance this season, they have experienced quite a serious decline, where last season they managed to finish in the top four of the standings but are currently two levels above the degradation zone. Union Berlin also has the potential to be trapped in the red zone because they are only 2 points adrift of 16th place, with 4 matches remaining in the future where they must immediately recover.

Towards the end of the season and overall the Bundesliga only has 4 matches remaining, I think in the Bundesliga all competition has finished. Now Bayern can completely shift their focus to the Champions League, even though their chances of reaching the final round are lower, Tuchel is still required to work optimally to maintain the remaining hopes. Everything will be improved next season, and this season Kane has not been lucky enough to taste his first domestic trophy.

Man United really can't be helped anymore. They played like a bunch of fools who didn't know what to do when they got the ball and I think Ten Hag is not capable of being Man United coach. As usual, he changed his strategy when his team was ahead and I think it is a foolish change of strategy. It's clear they are leading 3-0, and they have pretty good game control but all that changed when he played Antony and Eriksen. The moment they lose their composure, that's when they also lose their rhythm.
Sharp criticism of United this season is very justified, we have lost words and confidence in their performance this season. I no longer understand the way of thinking and strategy implemented by Ten Hag, he was already leading by 3 goals but failed to maintain it. Coventry managed to make a comeback in the second half, and chased down a 3 goal deficit, the current score still stands at 3-3.

Even though United were able to win the match and qualify for the final, their carelessness cannot be tolerated, we can imagine how they will be defeated when they play against City in the final. However, it would be a big surprise if the opposite happened, where Coventry ended up qualifying for the final, Ten Hag would have to be fired immediately if that happened today.

The extra time is almost over, it looks like the match will continue to a penalty shootout, United fate this season is truly unfortunate. Their last chance to win their only trophy this season is hanging in the balance, Onana doesn't seem to be able to be relied on in the penalty shootout. This has been a tumultuous season for United, they deserve sharp criticism from the fans.

Napoli is losing against Empoli.

their season is terrible, the winners of the last scudetto are almost out of the running for the European cups for next year. It was something unthinkable until a few months ago. And to think that the president of Napoli wanted to sell Osimhen for 200 million euros. It makes me laugh.
Is this a strategy not to allow Osimhen leave Napoli because that amount is too expensive to buy him. Napoli keeps on facing difficult moment in their matches and if care is not taken, Napoli will not participate in any European competition next season, which will not help the club's prestige and that will make more players ready to leave the club. Napoli could not equalize the early goal that was scored against them, and that was the only goal in the match that gave Empoli three points. Napoli is a big disappointment as defending champions.
The latest defeat suffered by Napoli has made things even worse, where the defending Serie A champions are now finding it increasingly difficult to finish in the European zone. Losing to Empoli is difficult to take for granted, because Napoli should have been able to secure full points easily. Empoli have a much worse performance than Napoli, and they are not far from the degradation zone.

Napoli fate towards the end of the season is getting worse, their next match against Roma looks like they will lose points again. Changing coaches several times did not make Napoli develop for the better, of course there was something wrong at the club. In fact, a number of players in their main squad are legacy players from Spalletti, who last season both won the Scudetto.

With the current conditions, it makes sense why there are many rumors circulating about one of Napoli best players, Osimhen, where the Nigerian player is said to be leaving next season. The price set by Napoli management for the player is very high, but I don't think clubs like PSG or Chelsea mind spending large amounts of money.

Arsenal did fail in the Champions League but anyway, Arsenal are still very good in the Premier League. Therefore, even though in this match against Wolves that Arsenal are playing away but still, Arsenal still have a very good chance of being able to beat Wolves. Also, based on the head to head too, the fact is that Arsenal have a good dominance of victory against Wolves and also, lately Wolves have also gotten bad results. But yes, if I consider overall throughout this season, that Wolves have really experienced a decline in performance. With such considerations, it is the right result for Arsenal to win the match in this away match against Wolves.
Arsenal managed to secure full points at home to Wolves, the match ended with a score of 2-0. Thanks to the additional 3 points, Arsenal are temporarily back at the top of the standings, this is a good result to maintain their hopes of winning the Premier League this season. The match ended as predicted, where Arteta fleet deserved it.

Arsenal elimination from the Champions League means they can focus fully on the Premier League, but their journey to win the trophy this season is more difficult than their two closest competitors, namely City and Liverpool. In fact, the fate of the three teams challenging for the Premier League title is now exactly the same, all three were eliminated in European competition and the most surprising thing was the way Liverpool were eliminated.

Meanwhile, there are now five matches remaining, and Arsenal will have to face Chelsea, Tottenham, Bournemouth, United and Everton. Concerns about a repeat of last season bad story certainly remain, Arteta must be able to wipe out these five matches if he has the ambition to win a trophy this season, but that can only be realized if City lose points in one match.
