Real Madrid could very well have focused on the Champions League as well as La Liga from the start. I think they would have qualified to secure the La Liga title even if they missed out on the Champions League. Now it remains to be seen what Real Madrid can achieve this season.
But they did focus on both the La Liga and Champions league from the beginning. A club as big as Real Madrid does not prioritize one competition over the other. They fought for the league from the very beginning the same way they fought for the champions league. You think they're happy that their ache rivals won the league? Along the line they lost form in the league and had no choice but to focus on the champions league. Even when Barcelona were were eight points ahead, Madrid still believed, they still hoped. It was when it got to twelve points difference that the hope for the league began to fade. Barcelona too we're focused on both competitions, but when they got knocked out of the champions league to the Europa, they fixed all their focus on the league, they didn't focus on the Europa.. Next season, Madrid would still focus on all competitions as they always have, if they don't win it, it doesn't mean they didn't focus on it. |

Juventus still has a chance to qualify for the Champions league, but they have a bit chance to qualify for the Europa league. With Roma's loss to Fiorentina, Juventus are now within range of overtaking Roma and Atalanta.
If Juventus wins AC Milan (which is a very likely possibility) they will be two points behind Milan on 5th position. And if Atalanta and Milan lose their next matches after this game week and Juventus wins, they Juventus would end the season on 4th position.
Milan's last game of the season is Verona, so i doubt they are going to lose.

I don’t know if such Bayern deserve to be a champion, but the thing is that everything depended on Dortmund, if they couldn’t beat an unmotivated opponent in the last, decisive match, then probably everything ended logically, the champion should win in
decisive match.
Exactly! Dortmund had every chance to win this league and they blew it. This was the perfect fairy tail ending. The perfect way to make their fans happy. Leipzig handed the league to Dortmund on a platter when they won Bayern Munich. All Dortmund needed to do was win the final match in front of thousands of their fans. Dortmund probably has the best fanbase in Europe, they had no reason not to win this match because their fans were solidly behind them. In that kind of atmosphere when everything is on the line, thy had no excuse whatsoever. |

Real Sociedad just need to win one more match and they will qualify for the champions league next season. They play Atletico Madrid next and then Sevilla on the final day of the season. Both are going to be very difficult games.
Atletico would still want to finish ahead of Madrid and they won't take it easy on Sociedad. Sevilla will be the the less tougher fixture they have but knowing how stubborn Sevilla can be it's also going to be a difficult match.
Villareal who are the competition are five points behind and also have Atletico Madrid to play on the final day of the league season. So its looking like Real Sociedad will not be dropping out of the top because they will at least win one of their two remaining matches.

Chelsea defense was in a horrible condition as always. Manchester United were so comfortable about creating dangerous attacks and there was a goal show there. They could have even scored a couple of more goals if Garnacho didn't waste important chances due to targeting the post etc.. I believe Erik ten Hag has met the expectations for this season.
However I'm expecting their fans to be expectant about a title race next time. This is dependent on their building a solid lineup by making a couple of transfers for necessary areas.
Just the defense? The whole Chelsea team has been horrible, in fact the whole club is horrible at this point. From the owners of the club down. The coach too have been horrible. Chelsea's midfield doesn't work, the attack doesn't work, nothing works in Chelsea right now. Their problem is not players but a good coach. They need a coach that can manage the players they have. If they don't get a good coach they will still suffer next season. Pochettino is not a good coach, they will suffer with him. Maybe they wont be as bad as they are under Lampard, but Poch is not the man Chelsea needs right now. |

Yes, this is a very important match for Valencia. In the first half of this match Valencia was better than Mallorca, but in the second half Mallorca was better, they success to get a score and currently they are leading with a score of 1-0. But there's still a time for Valencia, they should be able to get a scored too to at least draw, because if they lose this game will be a very sad. Previously Valencia won successfully against Real Madrid, and was a little stay away from the relegation zone, but if they lose this match their position maybe it will be threatened again because the gap with other teams is really very close.
Despite losing the game Valencia have a lot of hope of remaining in La Liga for next season. Their win against Real Madrid really helped their cause. They were not able to win Mallorca which is disappointing but they still have Espanol to play. Espanol managed to get a draw from Atletico Madrid after being 3-0 down which is an impressive stuff but I don't think they'll win against Valencia. If Valencia wins that game then they're safe, especially if Vallidolid fails to win Almeria. The top of the La Liga may be already won and the clubs that will play in the champions league may have already be known, but the bottom of the league is where the uncertainty is. If Espanol and Valladolid win their two remaining games of the season then they are safe. |

Mourinho has good experience when it comes to winning of games but this is not enough reason Roma must win the game. Sevilla players are used to the Europa game, so they know the best way they end up winning the game to become the champion. Roma still have the chance of winning but based in the Europa experience Sevilla is more experienced in winning europa league games. The game won't be easy for the two teams though, because Sevilla and Roma is a strong team.
I'm going to bet on Sevilla to win that game. Mourinho, being Mourinho would just want to win that game no matter what, so he will allow Sevilla have most of the possession and try to counter them when he can. Given Sevilla that kind of comfort on the ball will always hurt. In fact, giving most Spanish teams that kind of comfort on the ball will always hurt. The problem Sevilla might have is the fact that they waste too many goal scoring opportunities. They can't afford to do that against Mourinho. If Sevilla would be able to score the opportunities they create them they'll win the match, but if they don't then they'll be in trouble. Sevilla is also good defensively, so Roma's counter attacking strategy might not work. The way I see it, the only reason Roma has got a chance to win that game is because they have Mourinho as manager. |

Manchester United got a really big win by 4-1 and secured the last ticket to the Champions League groups. I was waiting for seeing a victory for them but this was a bigger score than my expectation. This is just the Manchester United I would like to see next season. They need to be more consistent than this season to be a part of the title race as well.
But to be able to do that I think they definitely need a striker transfer. With the help of the right man in the position they can win more consistently to fight for the league title. But let's see if they can sign one of their targets this summer. Kane has seemed to be the number one target so far.
Manchester United's performance was really good but how could they not have a good performance at home against this Chelsea side? I think the worst Chelsea has ever finished on the table since the Abramovic era is 8th position. Chelsea is so bad that I don't even get surprised when they're beaten 4-1. Man United should even be disappointed they allowed Chelsea score one back. The difference between Chelsea and the other teams beneath them on the table is the quality of players. The quality of players in Chelsea is what has help them not to be struggling for relegation right now. Lampard is adding nothing to that team. I feel sorry for him actually. |

Ten Tag, should not bother about Neymar jnr bid, he can't perform very well in this current Manchester city squad. With his injury problem, he's not fit for the premier league, he can only play well in a team like Manchester city, that has complete team. Neymar is a good player and can add more to a team, but he is not fit to play in a struggling Manchester United team. They're other good players Ten Tag should consider rather than Neymar.
Neymar is one the best players in that position. He is injury prone but he can play in the premier league. Neymar wont be the only player Manchester United will sign in the summer. They are trying to build their squad. They will reinforce their squad so it won't be a struggling squad. Rebuilding a squad is not only done with young players, you need a lot of experience too and Neymar has a lot of experience. Neymar is very creative player and he can score goals. He would be a good addition to Manchester United. No attacker in that Man united Squad is better than Neymar. |

To an extent his wife is overreacting but your friend messed up. Probably what she saw made her feel its becoming an addiction, or its a shock for her to find out that he gambles. He shouldn't have hidden it from her in the first place. She should know he gambles, maybe she wouldn't know the full details (like how much he makes and loses from gambling), but she should know he gambles. he might have deeper reasons why he didn't tell her about his big winnings but I just feel he couldn't tell her since its a secret. To me he made the right choice quitting gambling for now to save his marriage  If he would be able to convince her then good luck to him |

I have a lot of faith in Manchester City, and I don't think they'll be beaten by Inter Milan in the Champions League final. Look at their performance from the group stage to now; they've been doing incredibly well and have defeated many major teams to get here. Do you still doubt them winning the match against Inter Milan after passing through Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to get to this point? We should congratulate them in advance because the final is already decided for them.
Who Manchester City defeated to get to the final doesn't really matter in the final. The final is a single match that the winner takes all. Few years ago Ajax eliminated an in form Juventus with Ronaldo, defending champion Real Madrid, only to be knocked out by Tottenham. I believe Manchester City will win Inter Milan, but they are not invincible. They can be beaten. We know how these finals can be, Inter can score one goal and start defending while Man City throw bodies forward to try and get a goal then Inter can exploit that and score a second. Finals can be funny. Remember the last world cup final? Argentina owned the whole game. France couldn't do anything, but immediately they got a penalty the whole game changed. Finals have that effect. |

It was a match that was dominated by Fenerbahce during 90 minutes. Maybe they couldn't break the deadlock in the first half but after doing so in the second half the rest came much easier. The only thing Sivasspor could have done is to play fully defensive and force the match to end by penalty shoot-outs. But Fenerbahce were having a really good day which shattered the dreams of their opponent. Now we are going to find out which team will be Fenerbahce's opponent in the finale. Is it going to be Basaksehir or Ankaragucu?
Sivasspor did better than I expected. The managed to draw the first leg and came into the second leg even. But the odds were always against them coming into the second leg. Fenerbahche completely dominated the whole game. And kudos again to Sivasspor for making it through the first half without conceding a goal despite how dominate Fenerbahche was. There were chances where Sivasspor could have taken the lead too. When Fenerbahche scored the first goal, it made Sivasspor to come out and search for an equalizer and that made them vulnerable at the back and they got hurt for it. It was a good match and congrats to Fenerbahche for making it to the final. |

Comparing both real madrid and Manchester City matches this night it will be a clear sign that Real Madrid is more positioned in winning the championship than man city and if that becomes the reality, a lot of gamblers' predictions will become faithless because most gamblers gave predicted manchester city winning the matches both the premier league title and the champion trophy but at this point, Brighton vs Manchester city is going down to a draw while real Madrid is busy flogging the opposition with multiple goals scored.
I don't understand what you're trying to say. Are you trying to say because Manchester City couldn't win Brighton and Madrid won Rayo Vallecano so Madrid are well positioned to win the champions league that Man City? C'mon! How can you judge football like that? Manchester City have already won the league, but even if they haven't, losing a match doesn't mean they can't win the champions league final. Madrid lost in the weekend while Man City won, why didn't you judge with that? Besides, what Real Madrid match did you watch? "Flogging the opposition with multiple goals scored"? The final score of the match is 2-1 to Real Madrid, that is in no way a flogging. In fact the score was 1-1 till very late in the game when Rodrygo scored the winner. So I don't know the match you're talking about when you say "multiple goals scored". |

Bochum has to win to make sure that they are going to stay in the league for sure. It is also the same situation for Leverkusen, well, almost. They have to get a win to make sure that they will play in the European League competition. I don't know if Leverkusen will win, I also do not know if Bochum is going to win.
But I really am starting to think that a draw can be a very expected result in this match between these two teams. And if we take into consideration that it is going to be a home match for Bochum, I think it makes a great recipe for a very competitive and equal extent match.
I doubt that Bochum will will that match. They might most likely not get a draw too. That is a match Bayern Leverkusen has to win. Wolfsburg that is a point behind Leverkusen is playing Hertha Berlin and that looks like a guaranteed win for Wolfsburg because Hertha Berlin have already been relegated and they have nothing to fight for, but even if they've not been relegated, their recent form is not a form that can beat Wolfsburg. Hertha Berlin have been the worst team of the season and Wolfsburg will definitely get a win against them. So if Leverkusen wants to play in the conference league, they have to win Bochum. A draw wont be enough. |

Vinicius jnr is a key player for Ancelloti and Real Madrid will not consider any advances for their key players like Vinicius and Rodrygo. The past two seasons has been terrible with several cases of racism abuse on the player which seem to be reoccurring frequently. I think the Spanish FA should look into this and find ways to put an end to these acts or reduce it to the minimum.
Aside the issues of racism which a pretty big issue, Vini is happy at Real Madrid and I did not even pay attention to the rumors that he may be leaving Real Madrid. Vinicius is the kind of player that Madrid can build their team around. Right now most of the attack goes through him. He's happy there, he's developing well so I don't see any reason why he would leave. Madrid should seize this opportunity that he's happy at the club to offer him a long term deal. He is among the best in his position right now and some people can even argue he's the best. Reports at the moment are that Arsenal interested in Declan Rice very much. Apart from him, Gundogan is also another name that is for sure discussed but City are also planning to provide an year contract extension. There were also reports of Arsenal interested in Mount who is right now unsettled at Chelsea. We definitely need signings, especially when we qualified for CL for next season. It is important for us right now to strengthen the squad before the CL commences.
Arsenal is going to find it very hard to sign Declan Rice. The fee is one thing but the competition they are going to face is another thing. Rice is overpriced and I don't think Arsenal will pay that much for him. Even Bayern won't pay that much for him. But I don't Declan Rice would be leaving England this summer. Arsenal and Barcelona are going to battle it out for Gundogan's signature if he refuses to sign a new deal with Man City. Barcelona seemed to be at the forfront of the race before but now things are a little shakky. |

Barcelona lost again in the match this time, even against Valladolid which is a small club. I really understand that whatever the result Barcelona will be the winner of this La Liga. However, does it have to be like this? Wouldn't it be better if they could at least put on a good performance at the end of the season, and present an interesting spectacle for their fans? because, losing to a small team that even almost entered the relegation zone might be quite embarrassing. At least, winning with a small score is also okay. But then again, maybe they don't care about that anymore because they are still the winners in the end.
I won't say they don't care any more, but they just don't care as much as they used to. They've been on their nerves all season long, working day in, day out to win the league, now they have, they just want to blow some steam. It's obvious from the way they line up. They even want Pedri not to take part in any match again till the end of the season. Barcelona should be winning these kind of matches with any line up, but they obviously lack the drive to win. Players like Roberto, Garcia, Kessie, Ferran should be sold this summer and better replacement should be added if they are willing to compete next season. |

Sothampton, I think it's definitely going into the Championship. Despite winning the last match, they will not leave the last place. Everton are not really safe, if they lose to Bornemouth there is certainly a sense of worry if Leeds and Liecester win, but it seems that it is difficult because Leeds and Liecester will play Tottenham at the end of the season. So I agree with you Everton have the best chance of staying in the EPL next season.
I believe Everton will not relegate. They will win Bournemouth to remain in the premier league. The season will end with the three guys at the bottom of them table as the relegating teams. Southampton have already relegated so it's just Leeds and Leicester city to join them soon. Leeds will play Tottenham on the final match day so I don't think Leeds will be able to win that match to give themselves any kind of hope. Leicester will be playing West Ham. West Ham have not been doing well in the league but I don't think they will lose against Leicester City. |

Damn what you said is true Rome can't play well because it failed to have more goals to excel and be a winner.
This match with a draw proved that Salernitana is a team that cannot be underestimated because they managed to make Roma fail to win at home.
I couldn't believe the match would end in a draw, but Roma themselves in the last 7 matches only got 1 win and 1 defeat, the rest were draws.
From this it can be seen that Rome has experienced a decline in the quality of the game.
Roma is not an impressive team. They struggle too much in games that they should be winning. Since they got the the quarter final of the Europa league they've been shitty in the league. I respect Mourinho but this is too bad even from him. You cant just put all your eggs in one basket like this. So what if he loses the Europa final? So that means there will be no champions league football for Roma next season. Roma has what it takes to focus on qualifying for the top four and also winning the Europa league. How can a team like Roma have no win in their six last Serie A games. 2 loses and 4 draws. That's a very poor form. It is not even a certainty that they will win Sevilla in the Europa final. |

I'm asking out of curiosity, are you guys experiencing a surge of gambling ads on youtube videos lately? this past week I've experienced an increased encounter of gambling ads on videos I watch on youtube. it's not that it bothers me, I am just surprised because I don't remember getting this many gambling ads on youtube videos in the past, but this past week, I usually get a gambling ad from 2-3 out of 5 videos I watch(it's just an estimation because of how often I get the ads). I don't know if it is because I recently watched several videos of streamers gambling or it's just a coincidence, I've watched streamers gambling videos in the past but I have never gotten this many gambling ads.
Its how YouTube works I think. They show you ads based on your recent activity. All google products are like that. When you accept cookies, ads related to the site you accepted the cookies on are what you will see. So probably you've been visiting a lot of gambling sites, watching gambling related videos on YouTube, or just visiting sports sites. There is also the fact that there is an increased level of marketing from gambling sites. They spend a lot of resources in marketing because the competition just keeps increasing and they need to reach more audience. |

I understand the angle you are coming from but lemme be frank with you, I did bet on that match and it was a W1 straight win for Manchester City. I hate them for humiliating Real Madrid in Semi Final but I wouldn't allow emotion to over crowd my judgement that Inter will win Manchester City, they have come a long way to lose this match to Inter Milan. If they do lose this match which I believe 90% they wouldn't, Pep would be sack and if they do sack him, nobody wil have any sympathy about that beccause if they have the strategy to elimiante Real Madrid, Inter should be there list worry not taking this Cup.
If Pep fails to win the champions league he would not be sacked. It is very unlikely that Man City will lose to Inter Milan. Yea, I know its a final and any thing can happen, but in this case the obvious will happen. But even if somehow Man City loses the final, Pep will not be sacked. Pep has build a very fearsome Manchester City squad. If they sack Pep, they wont find another manager like him. They might be lucky to have a manager that will win them the champions league but they wont get a manger that will make Man City as consistent as Pep. If they lose, they will regroup and try again, with Pep. |
