A last over thriller in Lucknow! With 7 wickets in hand, all eyes were on captain KL Rahul to lead from the front and secure a victory for his team. But, unfortunately losing matches from a winning position is always a possibility. Titans bowlers Mohit Sharma performed exceptionally well when it matte most. His last two overs were simply excellent, in his crucial 18th over just given away 6 runs. And his exceptional final over led to the opposition losing their winning momentum. This actually looked like a fixed match. GT weren't even bowling well since LSG still had 9 wickets in hand. Screw IPL betting!
It's ok you've raised concerns about the match being fixed. When we've experienced match like this it's hard to deny that the scriptwriter for this year's IPL results deserves some serious recognition. |

I am surprised to see the game of two teams Arsenal vs Southampton today in Premier League. Arsenal is now in the first position in the points table. But no one thought that Arsenal will share the points of the match with such a weak team so easily. But Southampton played very well in this match. Southampton is at the bottom of the points table. Southampton might never have imagined that the match would draw with Arsenal. Arsenal performed so poorly that the two teams had to share the points in the match.
I just could not believe my eyes how Arsenal came from behind and managed a valuable point against Southampton. Arsenal's title race could fade away, but made an impressive comeback. However, it felt like a total defeat for Arsenal. With three draws in a row, they have now failed to win back-to-back games in the Premier league, which is a worrying sign for their title hunting. |

PSG weren't going to have a tough game already and they met the expectations by winning the game. But I would still have expected them to win this one by a bigger goal gap of course. Because Angers are literally the last team in the standings right now. How can't PSG win this more comfortably? I know that they are comfortable in the lead from now on but still people expect these things.
Mbappe was the most impressive player with 2 goals and Messi made a contribution with an assist. Messi has been a complete team player so far with 15 goals and assists each in the league by the way.
To be honest, I don't see they'll met the expectations of goal making. It's becoming more and more normal for them to struggle with keeping clean sheets or winning by big margins. That doesn't mean three points they've earned are invalid just because they haven't kept a clean sheet. Of course, what matters most is getting the win, but I think there are higher expectations from their fans when they're playing against a team at the bottom of the standings. Kylian Mbappé scored two goals in just 26 minutes against Angers, while Lionel Messi made a contribution with 1 goal making. |

Chelsea have held talks with former Tottenham Hotspur coach Pochettino but there has been no decision from Chelsea because it seems that the former Bayern Munich coach Nagelsmann remains the favorite for Chelsea at the moment, but hopefully it will not be a wrong decision that will be taken by Chelsea because if they choose the wrong one again who will be Chelsea manager then all the money that has been spent will be in vain https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1649056866876489730Nagelsmann withdrawn himself. Julian Nagelsmann has made a wise decision in leaving the race for the Chelsea job. With their ongoing struggles on both the field and the transfer market, it's understandable that top coaches might not be eager to take on such a challenging position. Now, Chelsea are considering Pochettino as a potential candidate for the job. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1649422319712911360?cxt=HHwWgIC2sYu39uMtAAAA |

I'm happy for Juventus, this season has been turbulent for them and the news of the deduction of 15 points from their standing affected them so much. This, I believe did not let them concentrate and win matches with determination. If they did, they will be standing at the second spot today though they do not have the chance of changing the first position of Napoli this season. The club has been so brilliant in performance.
The cancellation of the 15 point deduction sanction made Juventus automatically ranked 3rd at the moment. Of course it will generate higher motivation for Juventus players and the coach to be able to play better and even end the season in 2nd place. And with this Juventus will have a big chance of securing Champions League tickets next season. And right now Lazio will definitely feel a bit of pressure. because their position will also be threatened at this time by Juventus. I think Juventus really restored their lost fortune. In my opinion, I don't believe that anything will change at this point. The team has already been affected psychologically. So, even when playing against underdogs, leading to unsatisfactory results. However, I truly hope that my belief will turn out to be wrong and Juventus will generate higher motivation for the rest of their matches. If they are able to do so, they'll be confident this time around. |

Delhi Capitals got two points and were the only team left with no points. A look at the points table now shows the points of all the teams. A win in one match after facing six matches will further boost the morale of the Delhi Capitals players. However, Kolkata Knight Riders could not score too many runs in this match against Delhi due to heavy wicket pressure, which led to victory for Delhi Capitals. warner 57 runs helped the team win and the few runs scored by the rest of the players would have made it difficult for Delhi Capitals to win.
Delhi Capitals team bowled very well by Ishant. He took 2 wickets with 19 runs in 4 overs. Kuldeep Yadav took 2 wickets with 15 runs in 3 overs. Axar took 2 wickets with 13 runs in 3 overs. Delhi The players of Capitals team played very well in this match and won the match. We have seen in the previous matches that Delhi Capitals did not win any match. They got 2 points for winning this match. I did not think that Kolkata Knight Riders team will perform so badly. You can praise the bowlers of Delhi Capitals but here I will blame the failure of Kolkata Knight Riders. Apart from Jason Roy and Russell, nobody batted there. But there were many good batsmen. Here Kolkata Knight Riders batting disaster is considered as the main reason to defeat the match. Moreover, what would have happened to Delhi Capitals if they had not won this small target what will happen? After all, every day the game is not equal. So whatever happens is normal. If Delhi Capitals take this win as a inspiration to do well in the upcoming matches then it can definitely be a good comeback for them. Despite low target DC's batting lineup has been struggling, except David Warner, Axar Patel, and Manish Pandey. DC's bowling unit was the real star of yesterday's match and deserves praises. Yesterday's match, both teams seemed to have difficulty, but ultimately KKR was unable to come out on top. Despite some tough competition from KKR's spinners, Delhi Capitals managed to break their five-game losing streak and got the win. DC should bounce back from here. |

Congratulations to Sevilla for the beautiful victory they got from Manchester united to eliminated them from UEFA Europa league competition to qualified for semi-finals. Many people predicted for the favour of Manchester united based on the first leg that made them to draw the match 2-2 in their home with Sevilla, but Sevilla used all their tools to played Manchester united in the second leg to defeated them 3-0 without allow them to scored a single goal from the match. I think, Manchester united coach need to do something fast to work on their defenders because their performance in this second leg was very poor so that it will not affect them in the premier league competition.
Sevilla always come alive in the Europa League, despite not having the best season in LaLiga. The victory over Manchester United is certainly a reason to celebrate! But, it's really disappointing to see that Manchester United are out of the Europa League. Their fans must hold some patience. Ten Hag is going through a rebuilding period. Several players such as Maguire, McTominay, Fred, and the injury-prone Martial and Varane are in need of leave from the team! Perhaps there's an issue with their mentality? Nevertheless, what Manchester United really need right now are players with character who can help take them to the next level. |

Messi's future is uncertain, but he has no shortage of good proposals as Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, offered 400 million euros a year for the Argentine player. In fact, it is a grandiose appeal to try to seduce the Argentine player who is at the end of his contract with PSG. If I'm not mistaken, this offer is practically double the salary of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr, or am I wrong?
But, I don't think Messi is going to decide yet, I think his preference is to stay in Europe and certainly other proposals will come, and even if they are smaller, maybe they will be more advantageous for Lionel Messi.
PSG itself wants to keep the Argentine player, but the financial crisis makes it impossible to pay Messi what he deserves.
Messi future is uncertain, he's still mute on the moves to make, we don't know if the PSG can still keep hold on Messi and also we don't know If the bluagrana can win him back. I'm waiting for his speech on his future, Leo Messi is not after the hugh contract offered to him if he makes a move to Saudi Arabia league. He's just famous for what he does best on the pitch, he's demigod in Argentina and also a key player in PSG. Barcá keen on getting him back will probably depend on their order from Laliga. There's been a lot of possibilities, but Messi's future yet uncertain. Fact that money isn't his top priority. If it were, he'd already accepted Saudi's proposal. Instead, he seems committed to stay in a competitive league. I've read of his return to Barcelona, but I wonder how they manage to pay him! The club already in financial difficulties in recent times. I've heard, Messi would get 4 times pay cut if he agree to join Barcelona again. However, it's still up to Laliga authorities to decide whether or not they'll allow the transfer. |

Match 28, DC vs KKR
The game delayed by almost an hour due to rain. However, there's some good news as the match will be played for the full 40 overs. Delhi Capitals won the toss and choose to bowl first against Kolkata Knight Riders. Liton Das and Jason Roy makes debut, but again their opening partnership failed. Liton Das got out early for just 4 runs then others followed. Delhi bowlers picked up regular wickets that put KKR in a difficult position. Delhi Capitals turns out to be in a positive frame of mind and are looking to break their losing streak.

Real and Man City were supposed to be the final match, but it just so happens that they will meet in the semi-finals... The second semi-final is also interesting because there will be a Milan derby, which is very hard to guess who can win... But I have no doubts that Real Madrid will play in the final...
Real Madrid vs Ac milan is considered a dream final based solely on historical traces. But if you look at it from a game perspective, I agree with your opinion, actually the dream final will happen in the semifinals (Real Madrid vs Man City). And I really believe whoever wins in this match will be the UCL Champion this season. The highly anticipated semi-final match between Real Madrid and Man City. The winner of this match will definitely be considered the Champion by a large percentage. Real Madrid has been fortunate enough to make it this so far, having faced off against Liverpool in the last 16 who have not in form, and having a bad season. If City manages to claim victory over Real Madrid, then AC Milan/Inter will have no chance of taking home the trophy. I believe that it's finally time for Manchester City to lift up UCL trophy. |

The opposite thing happened with chelsea right now. The club keeps getting more and more bad results in all of the competitions. It's started from EFL, UCL and EPL. Chelsea was also rarely making goal against its opponent which has been showing how bad this team is right now. Todd as owner of chelsea can only do pressure on its players but this guy never tries to bring a good coach to the chelsea. Lampard is having a very bad history with chelsea but i wonder why todd is still picking him as caretaker until the end of season.
Luis enrique will not be included in the short list of a new coaches. Naglesmann has become the only one who has the biggest potential to be a new coach for chelsea next season. It has been reported if naglesmann was giving very good impression on his interview with chelsea's director.
It will be so good to see him being able to be a new coach for chelsea. Chelsea needs a good coach as soon as possible who will able to fix the problem in the club.
Lampard was just adding more problems. Im agree with thiago silve if chelsea needs to sell a lot of players.
The process of selecting a new coach for Chelsea has been quite disappointing, and this could be one of the reasons behind their recent downfall. Todd may not be interested in bringing on a competent coach to manage Chelsea, as he prefer a coach who can be easily controlled. However, the best coaches usually control over the team, which is why Luis Enrique has been excluded. So, their fans have suffered by their poor decisions. I have also heard that Chelsea players will face significant pay cuts if they fail to qualify for next season's Champions League, as a form of punishment. Will this strategy turn off/on the team's performance? |

It looks like Manchester City will claim the Premier League title this season as they are currently the top favorites. This is because of their experience and having exceptional squad quality, their impressive head-to-head record against their closest rivals. From the start of the season Arsenal has maintained it's top position at the Premier League. But, their upcoming match against City will be their most challenging one. And the outcome of this match may ultimately determine who lift up the league title. So far this Premier League season has been a thrilling one, and everything hanging until the very end.

Let Real Madrid forget about the Laliga, and let Real Madrid face their performance in champions league, because even though Real Madrid win all their remaining match, it's will not easy for Real Madrid to be the top to take the trophy, the gap of numbers of points that Real Madrid has to chase is really too much. It's will not still near impossible for Real Madrid to catch up with Barcelona, even though Bacelona are currently experiencing a decline in form but they are still quite comfortable at the top of the standings with an 11-point leading.
Real Madrid just managed to win over Chelsea which means they have secured a place in the semifinal. After trailing a very large point behind Barcelona, Real Madrid focus is only on the Champions League and the Copa Del Rey final against Osasuna. Even though Barcelona lost points against Atletico Madrid, it will not threaten their position. This condition makes it very difficult for Real Madrid to catch up with Barcelona points because La Liga only has a few matches left. Barcelona, which is only focused on La Liga, will try to secure its position from Real Madrid's threats. There is no reason for Real Madrid to compete with Barcelona because this season the La Liga trophy is far from them. Real Madrid's only hope of reducing the gap with Barcelona by getting convincing wins in all their remaining Laliga matches. At this stage Madrid only can manage to reduce the gap, because La Liga trophy is far from them. I think that Barcelona will still end up winning the title, even if they lose more points. However, Real Madrid can achieve success in other areas. They're performing exceptionally well in the Champions League, and seem to be very confident to lift both the Champions League and Copa Del Rey trophies. |

Chelsea, again we're outclassed. Chelsea needed to win with at least two goals something they only managed twice in their last couple of games frank lampard instead of packing his team with firepower the caretaker boss pick an extra midfielder at the expense of an attacker duo Chelsea continues to threaten the home fans showing them an appreciation for their intensity of their t Madrid soon gained a foothold in the game this was another crushing defect in a season of many and one which has effectively ended their campaign it was not a night for Chelsea
You can't play with too many attackers against Real Madrid. They will punish every mistake in the middle and in defense(and they did). Chelsea had enough goal opportunities to take the game into additional time(and maybe penalties), but they missed all of them. Congrats to AC Milan for getting into the semi-finals after 2007. I was supporting Napoli, but the player from Georgia with a hard to pronounce name missed the penalty.  An Italian team will play to win the Champions League, after Juventus failed two times in 2015 and 2017. I will support AC Milan against Inter. There's definitely something serious going on with Chelsea. It's hard to believe that the same Chelsea players who used to score, now having a tough time on score. What has changed? They still have the drive and passion to win anything at all! Congratulations for Madrid on their impressive win. It would be interesting if Madrid facing Man City. They're becoming almost unstoppable these days. As for AC Milan, they're through to the next round, which was a real surprise to many. Napoli lost due to a combination of losing key players and missed penalty from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. I can't believe to see an underdog come out on top, but AC Milan certainly earned their spot in the semi-finals. |

Ronaldo needs an organized teammates if he hopes to achieve his goals. This defeat has dealt a big blow to Cristiano Ronaldo's dreams of lifting up his first Saudi Pro League title. This defeat stands they'll likely continue to struggle to score against the top 3 teams in Saudi. Against Al Hilal, Ronaldo was unable to score, he also ended up receiving a yellow card in this match. The league table shows that Al Nassr are 3 points behind the league leaders Al Ittihad, who still have a game in hand.

I didn't understand that Inter will lose the match in today's Inter vs Monza match of the Italian League. I thought that Inter is ahead in the points table, so maybe Inter will win the match. But the players of Inter team could not score any goals in the match. Monza showed an amazing performance. Both teams played very well in the early part of the game but Monza took the lead with 1 goal in the 78th minute. After that neither team managed to score another goal. In the end Monza won by 1 goal.
The reason why Monza can beat Inter Milan is not just because Monza had a good performance against this team but the main reason for this result was the poor performance of Inter Milan they had a good time for just a few weeks when they were in the second place of the table but recently they have an unstable situation and even in the games they won they have poor performance. Inter Milan have had problems in their line of attack since this season has just started. they are good at making chances but they are terrible at finishing. Inter Milan's defeat by Monza was very unexpected. because I didn't think that Monza would be the winner in that match. and This is a pretty embarrassing result for Inter Milan. Inter Milan suffered a disappointing 0-1 loss at their home ground against Monza. They struggled and failed to score a single goal. This result marks their third consecutive home defeat without managing to score. The worst attack, always struggles in front of goal. Inter Milan will have to work hard to turn things around against Benfica following their Champions League return leg. It seems that the road ahead may be challenging, if they want to remain in contention. |

The five-day Test match between Sri Lanka and Ireland ended three days ago. Ireland could not score as many runs as Sri Lanka scored in the first innings in the second innings. By batting 2 innings, Ireland have been defeated by Sri Lanka by 280 runs.
Ireland fell f/o to Sri Lanka in the second innings. Sri Lanka scored 591 runs in one innings and declared the match. Later, when Ireland came down to bat in the first innings, they lost all their wickets and collected only 143 runs.Later, when Sri Lanka again invited them to bat, Ireland came down to bat in the second innings and were all out for 168 runs.
Prabath Jayasuriya excellent bowling Ireland's batsmen were disoriented. He took a total of ten wickets in 2 innings while his wicket count was seven in the first innings itself.
Prabath Jayasuriya was adjudged Man of the Match for his outstanding bowling performance.
31 years old Prabath Jayasuriya takes 10 wickets for his team which allow them for destroying minor Irish in just three days in first test at Galle and won this match by big margin even this was expected before start this match but Ireland gone down badly in batting at this surface which was helpful for the spinners and Sri Lankan batsmen take good advantage of winning toss and have big targeted. Now we will have same result in second test as well because we can't expect improvement in just few days from Irish batsmen on this surface under these conditions but still good experience for them which will help them for improving quality. There's nothing particularly exciting because this was expected. But I respect their impressive efforts as Sri Lanka won by an innings and 280 runs - congratulations to them! Their bowling and batting display was truly superb. Thanks to standout performances from Karunaratne, Kusal, Chandimal, Sadeera and Prabath Jayasuriya. Ireland has yet to improve their game and they have a long ways to go. It will take time for the Irish team to improve. |

I expect Real to do what’s required tonight to advance to the semi final. The other tie is where it gets interesting though, Milan lead 1-0 on aggregate but Napoli at home are something else. I have a real feeling that they will turn the tie on its head and get to the semi final. Victor Osimhen will have a big say I think, he’s ready to explode on the biggest stage as an elite, world class striker.
Real Madrid are having good advantage over Chelsea at the moment. Their qualifying for the semi-finals is already very visible. The concern now should be if Chelsea can avoid conceding more goals at home today. It is really sad the blues had to end the season trophyless. Milan on the other hand have been lucky in their last two meetings with Napoli both in the Champions League and Domestic League. I don't know if Victor Oshimen is back to the team to improve Napoli's attack. If he is still absent Milan might have advantage over Napoli 2nd leg approaches, many are wondering if Chelsea can turn their poor form around. They will need to be in top form and even need a miracle to get a win. I doubt they won't be able to get a shot on target in today's match. Nevertheless, Real Madrid looks set to come out victorious. While Napoli has the potential to advance, the question remains whether they can do it without Victor Osimhen. I doubt progress may have been further hampered by the absence of their form striker, Victor Osimhen. As for AC Milan, they are hoping to find some home comforts and advance to the next stage. |

227 to win! Damn. RCB need to bat like monsters if they wish to win this one. Conway, Dube and Rahane were freaking awesome. 200+ games are the new normal in the IPL based on what I observed.
Chennai Super Kings put up a massive total on the board, and the last over was quite dramatic. Just when I thought we're going to watch another high-scoring thriller, RCB lost both of their openers as CSK's baller's strike first. It seems like there may be more trouble waiting for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. After poor bowling, their batters lost quick wickets and it looks like they'll be bowled out in no time. Faf du Plessis and Maxwell both established and charge on... |

Sri Lanka vs Ireland
We expected that Ireland will perform poorly in this match but in this match Ireland tried hard to play well but it didn't work. Ireland came to bat today and scored 117 runs in 45 overs. But Ireland lost 7 wickets. Looks like batting line. Ireland has shown a very poor performance. However, in the match, Sri Lanka played very well in both bowling and batting.
On day two of the match, Sri Lanka once again continued their dominant display. Prabath Jayasuriya taking the lead with the ball by getting 5 wickets. At the end of the day's 2, Ireland found themselves at a disappointing stage 117/7. This outcome was expected, and Sri Lankan team proved it by delivering a well-played performance. I expect Irish batters show some resistance with bat for as long as they can. |
