If De Bruyne or Bernardo Silva leaves the club, it is possible that Man City signs Musiala. But if those players still stay at Man City, I'm not sure they want to spend much money to sign Musiala. I also a bit doubt that Musiala wants to move to Man City because he may have a lower chance to play there. It won't be easy to compete with 2 top attacking midfielders to get a regular position. Musiala mustn't expect to sit on the bench.

Bernardo Silva newly extended his contract therefore I don't feel like he is leaving anytime soon. He has a contract running until 2026 now. But for De Bruyne, we never know. There have been quite many rumours linking him with Saudi Arabia teams. Honestly I would rather see him staying at Manchester City for one more year at least. It is really delightful to watch him play here.  Smiley

If both of them stays then I don't see it very sensible to sign Musiala. Because there are going to be so many good alternatives in the squad and Guardiola would have more problems on making a choice among them. Besides we don't even know whether Bayern Munich would be keen on selling him.  Sad
It could be that because De Bruyne will leave next season, City is now trying to recruit Musiala from Bayern. Pep is certainly not just looking for additional rotation options in his squad, he won't do that if Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne stay longer at the Etihad. I also hope De Bruyne stays for another season or two, because his performance is still quite good and it is quite difficult to find a replacement of his caliber in the transfer window.

The latest news states that Bayern will not accept any offers, they do not want to negotiate with any club regarding Musiala future. Bayern management will retain one of its best assets for next season, where they will try again to repair their dominance which has been broken by Leverkusen this season.

On the other hand, I think Pep is slowly starting to make a transition to rejuvenate his main squad, where last season several important names who helped him win the Champions League trophy were also released. Their failure against Madrid yesterday in the quarter-finals indicates that City should add depth to their squad next season, if they have the ambition to continue to be a title challenging team every season.

It wasn't going to be surprising to see Athletic Bilbao staying out of top four at the end of the season. Now they have really thrown away their chance completely by thinking that Atletico Madrid would win. Aside from that Simeone and his students must be really devastated after that Dortmund loss. They really looked determined for qualifying for even the finale.  Sad

Now Simeone will at least make sure that they qualify for the Champions League. By the way it hasn't been much time since the board extended Simeone's contract. They must still be contented with his work. Maybe not in the La Liga but in the Champions League they have been really good this season.
The draw against Granada made it even more difficult for Bilbao to penetrate the top four of the standings and finish in the Champions League zone at the end of the season. On paper, Bilbao should be able to secure full points because they have advantages in many aspects, we know that Granada is only a club in the degradation zone. However, the draw was fair for both of them, because Granada really needed additional points to get out of the red zone.

From Bilbao point of view, they certainly interpreted the draw as loss and made them very disappointed, where they failed to take advantage of a good opportunity to continue pressing ATM. Now Bilbao is 3 points adrift of ATM, where if Simeone fleet manages to beat Alaves tomorrow, then Bilbao hopes of playing in the Champions League are getting slimmer. I think the ATM match against Alaves is quite easy to predict, because we know the differences between the two teams are very different.

Meanwhile, I think the competition for Champions League slots will continue until the end of the season, where I believe that ATM will succeed in finishing in that zone. Apart from that, with their elimination from the Champions League, ATM will now focus completely on La Liga and try as hard as possible to sweep all the remaining matches in the future. The contract renewal given to Simeone indicates that the management and club officials still have full confidence in the man from Argentina.

Temporary result 2-2 time 90+ I think this result will end in a draw adding a bad record for Juventus who will be closer to being shifted by Bologna, it's possible because Bologna is currently much better than the Bianconeri.
The rest of the season is 5 more matches for Juventus while the Bianconeri will still face Milan, Bologna and Roma, isn't that a pretty tough team for Juventus because at the moment this team is unable to win against Cagliari.
If that really happens then the Bianconeri will decline with something we never expected but there is still hope to survive with the grip of the champions league ticket.
It finally ended in a draw as Juventus was able to equalize the two first half goal through a wonderful goal by Dusan Vlahovic and an own goal from Alberto Dossena. This match seems to have proved that Cagliari is now a team to take seriously. They drew with the league leader Inter Milan and now Juventus, so any team playing them next will be extremely careful. They just have to do more with their defense which is not that solid compared to their attacking. Juventus will still end the season among the top four despite this draw, that may be the reason they have been so relaxed lately, winning only one match for their last five league matches.
Juventus should be able to compete with Milan again to win the runnerup position, but with the number of draws they have had recently, it seems Allegri fleet will finish in fourth place in the standings. With their current unstable performance, I think their next match against Milan will also end in a draw, giving Bologna an opportunity to move up the rankings.

Meanwhile, Juventus still has hope of winning a ticket to the Champions League, and they still have hope of winning the Coppa Italia. But all this can only be achieved by getting up and winning in the remaining matches in the future. Allegri, who is currently under pressure, must be able to find the right solution to appear consistent in the future.

Cagliari is currently trying to stay away from the degradation zone, that's why they acted beyond predictions by being able to hold Inter and Juventus to a draw. There are 5 remaining matches, 3 of which have the potential to make Juventus lose more points because they have to face Milan, Roma and Bologna. Allegri should be fully alert, because Bologna and Roma are currently competing to finish in the top four of the standings.

But atleast, AS Roma and Bayer Leverkusen are truly teams full of surprises this season andtherefore, watching the match between AS Roma v Bayer Leverkusen in the semifinals will be a very interesting match. But apart from Bayer Leverkusen's good chances in the European League, thefact is that Bayer Leverkusen will still get one more trophy in the domestic league and that trophy is the DFB Pokal trophy. With Bayer Leverkusen's great achievements this season, it is certainly a veryworthy result for Bayer Leverkusen to get a treble . Therefore,I personally am still very confident that Bayer Leverkusen is able to do it, of course to get the treble winners and also end this season without defeat. Shocked
Yes, I think so too. Roma had fallen very badly this season, then de Rossi came along who was finally able to revive Roma again, to its current position which is quite tense. Because Rome is not easy to beat and sometimes makes it quite difficult for opponents. The tactics used by Rossi are sometimes quite surprising, but they work.

But on the other hand, Leverkusen is really the favorite. Because if you look at the performance of the two clubs, Leverkusen is much more solid and consistent. They are also still unbeaten. There is no doubt about Xabi's ability to manage a team. So, this will be very beneficial for Leverkusen so that they can really win.
Roma have developed much better since being coached by De Rossi, they managed to reach the semifinals by beating Milan, where many believed that Milan would be able to turn things around in the second leg, but this never happened. Leverkusen will be a worthy opponent for Roma in the semifinals, and as you said, Xabi fleet appears more solid and more consistent than Roma.

The match between Leverkusen and Roma is honestly difficult to predict, but Leverkusen reputation this season has never been touched by a single defeat, making everyone confident in betting on their victory. Leverkusen ambition to win the treble is getting closer to becoming a reality, and now they can focus fully on the Europa League.

If Leverkusen manages to qualify for the final, then the semifinal against Roma will be said to be more difficult than the final match, because I think the strength of Marseille or Atalanta is below Roma at the moment. However, anything could happen, however, Leverkusen with its impressive performance this season really deserves to be the favorite to win the Europa League trophy.

After I saw the good performance from Real Madrid against Manchester City in the previous game they had in the Champions League, I think Real Madrid had an epic performance and Ancelotti knows how to beat even stronger teams because beating Gadudiola was not easy at all.
I think if Real Madrid has the good performance we saw from them against Manchester Cityagaginst other teams like Bayern Munich, they can easily beat Bayern Munich because compared to Manchester City, Bayern Munich is not a strong team, especially after losing the Bundesliga title to Leverkusen.

Real Madrid is the king in the Champions League, of course every team that faces Real Madrid certainly feels nervous about beating Real Madrid. The impressive performance displayed by Real Madrid in the second leg against Manchester City has shown that Real Madrid really has the ambition to become champions this season.

I estimate that Bayern Munich game this season will be very difficult to predict because in the Bundesliga they can be beaten by low ranked teams so the match against Real Madrid will be difficult to predict their game.

It's just that after Real Madrid beat Manchester City, Real Madrid was already a strong candidate to win the UCL trophy. Real Madrid has Bellingham who is very productive in helping Real Madrid beat their opponents so Bellingham performance this season is very big for Real Madrid progress.
Madrid match against Bayern in the semifinals is actually just as difficult to predict, because Bayern is a team that is also very experienced in the Champions League. Tuchel fleet qualified for the simifinals by beating Arsenal who were in their best form, so Ancelotti really understands and certainly won't underestimate Bayern.

It must be admitted that beating City is much more difficult than beating Bayern this season, which is why I think Madrid has a big chance of reaching the final. Los Blancos ambition to win the Champions League trophy is no longer in doubt, that is their goal in building a squad containing star players. The match between Madrid versus Bayern also deserves to be called a mini final, like their previous match against City.

Madrid chances of winning the Champions League trophy have indeed increased after successfully eliminating City, and their next journey feels easier because there is no longer a team that has the strength like City. I think this season final will pit Madrid against PSG, but that's just an assumption and it's possible that the scenario can be that plays out in the future will be very different.

Is this Atalanta's first ever European league final? But whatever the result, my assumption is that Leverkusen will be in the final. Tongue

Yes, it will be Atalanta's first final, if they make it to the final  Cheesy
There's more, it's the team's first semi-final in the Europa League, so it's the team's best run in the competition

In a brief analysis, Atalanta eliminated two strong teams, first Sporting, who are first in the Portuguese league, and then Liverpool, who are now third in the Premier League, but were in fight for first place until last week
It's a team that has grown during the competition and gained strength, it's very much a candidate to reach the final and maybe a possible title, not impossible
It turns out that the European League also presented surprises that were no less interesting, Liverpool and Milan were eliminated even though previously I assumed these two clubs could talk a lot this season. Atalanta managed to show a different performance between Serie A and the Europa League, since the group stage they have shown these signs, where they managed to lead the Group D standings without losing.

Sure enough, in the round of 16 Atalanta also managed to get rid of Sporting, and the peak of their surprise was defeating Liverpool in the quarter-finals. It's no wonder Atalanta is the favorite to reach the final by beating Marseille, and I think Atalanta will face Leverkusen in the final round.

Regarding Atalanta chances of winning the trophy, in my opinion it is quite difficult, because Leverkusen is still performing with a performance above them. Xabi fleet has performed impressively this season by being unbeaten in all competitions, so it will take a lot of luck for any team to be able to beat the Bundesliga representatives this season.
167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 19, 2024, 09:38:45 PM
knowing that Manchester City will try their best to see them with even if it's a single trophy this season and they have already lost their hope in the Champions League
Manchester city already lost champions league, but they are still having FA cup and premier league, so let’s see if Manchester City will be able to win the two. Manchester city is currently in first position in premier league table, i don’t think Manchester City will be dropping from the first position, Manchester City might end up winning the premier league again this season. Manchester City next match will be against Chelsea in FA cup, if Manchester City can win Chelsea, then I will say Manchester City will be winning the FA cup also.
These two opportunities will be City priority in the future, they will no longer be busy with tiring Champions League matches. The competition for the Premier League Trophy and FA Cup is certainly easier than the Champions League, so it makes sense if we place them as the favorite team to win, even though they have just lost to Madrid.

Meanwhile, it is quite easy for City to create a turning point in their performance, but they should be wary of Chelsea. On paper, Pep fleet chances are higher, and they will also act as hosts. Chelsea, who have rarely been consistent this season, cannot be underestimated, they will definitely try hard to win the FA Cup, because that is their only trophy of hope this season.

There is a possibility that the FA Cup Final will be City vs United and it is a very interesting Manchester derby, I think it is the ideal final of the season. Apart from that, regarding City chances of continuing to lead the Premier League standings and winning it, perhaps it is still difficult to predict at this time, because there are still 6 matches remaining.

Currently Bayern Leverkusen without any pressure yet for upcoming match against Dortmund in Bundesliga after winning the domestic league tittle last week, seems Xabi Alonso will make many rotation players give them more minutes playing and giving rest with few days left after facing West Ham United tonight in Europe League. Dortmund on confidence performance after success qualifying to champion league semifinal, although their position in domestic league outside from champion league spot standings but get goals difference only with Leipzig after both teams have the same points.
Its important match for winning by Dortmund because next week will face RB Leipzig and become most important match to get top fourth place or Leipzig will secure the last ticket for participating in champion, its seems little funny Dortmund performance this season qualifying to semifinal round but can't participants for next season if finish outside from top fourth standings.
Dortmund seems to have a different fate this season, where they managed to appear consistent in the Champions League but inconsistent in the Bundesliga, so that if they don't fix it immediately they will fail to finish in the top four of the standings. However, Dortmund efforts are quite tough, because next week they have to face Leverkusen, we know who Leverkusen is this season and I think Edin Terzic fleet will lose points.

Leipzig certainly hopes that Leverkusen will succeed in humiliating Dortmund, so that their position is secure in fourth place in the standings, which in turn gives Leipzig a greater opportunity to secure a ticket to the Champions League at the end of the season. One week later, Leipzig had to face Dortmund directly to determine their own fate.

Even though Xabi has confirmed himself as the new champion in the Bundesliga, I think the match between Dortmund and Leverkusen will be very interesting to wait for, because they both carry different missions. Leverkusen has the ambition to continue maintaining their unbeaten record, while Dortmund is trying hard to secure full points to penetrate the Champions League zone.

I am not believing yet with Liverpool opportunity has second chance to make come back and winning over 4 goals tonight on second leg match of Europe League against Atalanta. Liverpool had downtrend performance after defeating by Atalanta on the first leg match and got loss against Crystal Palace last week, its difficult how to defeat Atalanta who plays on their home and Liverpool need to win aggregate 4 goals above if want get lead to semifinal round.
Liverpool get huge pressure after losing on the first leg match and dropping their position in domestic league make Liverpool need to prefer focus on domestic league, indeed has chance for Liverpool winning the second leg match but seems not easy scoring 4 goals above with Atalanta play more defensive tonight.
Liverpool chances of turning things around in the second leg are very slim because they have to overcome a 3 goal deficit, but for Klopp team it is still possible to achieve a narrow victory even though it does not allow them to qualify for the semifinals. Atalanta, who act as hosts, is certainly at a great advantage, it looks like they will play relaxed by focusing more on defense and relying on counter attacks.

On the Liverpool side, Salah and his colleagues will play aggressively and attack, because they are required to catch up, which will make this second leg match interesting to wait for. But it would be very surprising if in the end Atalanta failed to maintain their lead, and had to give up Liverpool who were heading to the semifinals.

Overall statistically we have to admit that Liverpool are much better than Atalanta, but the surprise in the Europa League makes the story very different. Previously, Atalanta was not at all favored and could create a surprise, where many believed that Liverpool would be able to beat Atalanta easily, but luck was not on Klopp and his fleet's side.

I didn't expect that Leverkusen still had a chance to win two more trophies. Europa League Cup and DFB-Pokal. This means that the chance of winning the treble winner is not impossible for Xabi this season. Their Europa League will play West Ham leg 2 and are already 2 goals ahead in the quarter-finals. Their DFB-Pokal final will be on May 26 against Kaiserslautern. If they want to win 3 championship titles, it is Xavi's perfect record. After that, maybe many Leverkusen players will get offers from big clubs.
Leverkusen did actually surprised everyone because they came from no were, and they are doing great at the table, and  maintaining  79 point on the table is not easy and from the look of things he as more chances to winning it, i was surprised at both bayerns and dortmunds position but it looks like that of Dortmund is worst, there chances of winning the Europa is not going to be the same with Bundesliga, but if you look at that of DFB-Pokal they have a better chance there also because there score records are good, and any of the leagues it is actually possible to win but it all depends on the club.
Everything related to Leverkusen this season looks extraordinary and many say their story is like a fairy tale, where Xabi fleet still has the opportunity to win two other trophies after yesterday confirming themselves to be Bundesliga champions. It's no wonder that Leverkusen has succeeded in raising the Bundesliga to a more competitive level.

Bayern dominance has been successfully broken and they will soon be crowned as the new champions of the Bundesliga, there are only 5 matches left before the season ends and they have a big chance of sweeping all future matches. One of them is the match against Dortmund next week. If Leverkusen manages to secure full points then it will not only be Bayern dominance that they will break, but Leverkusen will also break Dortmund hopes of breaking into the Champions League next season.

Of course, Xabi will try his best to maintain their unbeaten record until the end of the season, and with their reputation so far it is very appropriate to place them as the favorite team to secure full points. If the scenario goes as we predict, then Dortmund efforts to return to the top four in the standings will be hampered again, and as a result Leipzig will benefit indirectly.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid was eliminated yesterday and Real Madrid remained the only La Liga club in the UEFA Champions League and facing a top side, Manchester City. They maintain their balance and never back down from pushing for excellent performance. Carlo Ancelotti knew exactly the outcome of this tough game and he have to focused on winning treble this season. Real Madrid is a top team and they don't give up their chances for nothing, always fighting till the very end because they're one of the best team in the European world of football.
Ancelotti succeeded in bringing his fleet to the semifinals, where they are now the only remaining La Liga representatives after Barcelona and ATM were eliminated yesterday. Madrid managed to escape through a penalty shootout where the match ended with an aggregate of 4-4 (Penalty 3-4 for Madrid win), thanks to this victory they will face Bayern in the semifinals.

Next, Los Blancos will again shift their focus to a tough match in La Liga, they will play the EL Clasico match. Of course now Ancelotti fleet has better confidence than Barcelona, but I think the Madrid players are quite tired today because they have to play up to 120 minutes.

Madrid has a big chance of winning the treble this season, what is clear is that their chances of winning the La Liga trophy are already very big, because they have an 8 point difference with Barcelona. If they manage to beat Barcelona in the EL Clasico match, then the two will be separated by 11 points. Meanwhile, Madrid chances in the Champions League are also quite big, because for Madrid they only need to beat Bayern in the semifinals, regardless of whoever passes to the final round between PSG and Dortmund is that relatively easy for them.

A person who is addicted to gambling and participates in gambling must suffer most of the losses. Because the addict is less likely to win because he doesn't know how to strategize. When a person gambles if he uses strategies then he is likely to win eventually, although gambling is not always about strategy but about luck. However, there are many ways to win gambling games, so if you adopt strategies, you will have a higher chance of winning.
Most gambling addicts do not use reason to implement their strategies when playing so that their minds are completely controlled by emotions and make them lose in this case. Apart from that, we can also see gambling players who have fun with every game even though they also hope to win, but when they lose they just act normal and will try again another time with the same feeling. This is why being addicted to something is sometimes not good for ourselves, so everyone must be smart in enjoying it even though they have to lose many times before tasting victory.
Addiction is the dark side of gamblers, where almost all gamblers have been faced with this situation. It is difficult to stop gambling, especially if we have free time and some money that we can use for fun, there will always be an urge within us to gamble again. Currently, stopping gambling is very difficult to do, because almost all games are available at smartphone, we no longer need to specifically go to the casino.

It's true, the emotional turmoil that occurs when gambling makes us all addicted, and we want to do it again another time. Of course, not everyone is able to resist the desire to gamble regularly, and it is very important to set limits on the amount of money we want to spend, if the money is lost then we will be fine.

Gambling is always about losing and winning, but don't let your gambling addiction make you look bad. Many people who are addicted to gambling have unreasonable attitudes, such as seeking loans from friends to gamble regularly. This can make us even more depressed, and eliminate our goal of seeking pleasure in gambling.
173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: April 15, 2024, 12:36:11 PM
~snip~
I have a profitable friend who told me that when you are in a loss, don't look at that as a money taken from you. Instead think of it like a loan you give to the casino. There's no need for you to take it back right away. As much as possible take your time, it may have a interest later on. This shift my perspective a lot. In gambling there's no need to rush and take your money that you've loss. Casino will always be there. So it's not aonly discipline or self control. It's also more of perspective and beliefs around one's behavior.

Yeah, but the math in this case shows that the longer you play, the more money you will lose. That's the most probable outcome.

You might think that in the long term you might win, and yeah, that might happen, but in most cases you will just lose more money.
That's why gambling is said to be full of risk, where the chance of winning is relatively small. Almost all gamblers admit that they experience losses more often than wins, even if we regulate gambling principles well, but this is not to increase the chances of winning, but to reduce the risk of bigger losses.

Even if we gamble regularly, luck will not necessarily be on our side and come our way all the time. The purpose of gambling is to have fun, forget about making a profit in gambling, and forget about the money you have lost. If you feel that you are no longer getting what you want in gambling, then that is a sign that it is time to leave gambling.

On the other hand, gambling advice always revolves around limits, such as controlling our attitude, the amount of money we can spend, and the amount of time we want to spend at the casino. Also about when to stop and when is the right time to start gambling again, as well as how to prevent us from becoming too addicted to gambling.

Even though in the previous World Cup he didn't contribute much to his country, we also can't get rid of the fact that previously he also helped Portugal a lot. In this case we cannot blame the players, because they play as a team, and even whether a team declines or not is a very natural thing. Maybe we can see the journey of national teams that didn't even qualify for the World Cup finals, like Italy for example.
There are many things that influence their play, and it's not based on just one player. Will we also see Portuga's standout players at the Qatar World Cup? I do not think so.
Ronaldo is old, and his speed is no longer the same as when he was young, and it should also be remembered that Portugal was not that strong a country at first, after they lost many of their valuable players due to retirement. However, they have also won the UEFA EURO title before.
There is no need to deny Ronaldo contribution to the Portuguese national team, he has given the best he has. But everything must come to an end, and he was nearing retirement time. Portugal must look far ahead, they will not always hope for Ronaldo, and they will definitely find other talents like Ronaldo in young players.

Ups and downs in a team performance will definitely occur, there are many factors behind this, the mentality of a player like Ronaldo will always be needed by every team. Portugal strength is still taken into account even though Ronaldo will no longer be strengthening it in the future, and now we are still curious about Ronaldo decision in the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

On the other hand, Portugal best achievement with Ronaldo is winning EURO, if he decides to retire from the national team then that will be his best achievement. I see that in every edition of the World Cup, new talents are always born that stand out. Ronaldo era is considered over, even though he is still playing well at the moment with Al Nassr.

If I were a coach of Man United, I don't want to sell Rashford for buying Leao. For me Rashford has been proven as a useful player for Man United. Meanwhile Leao has no guarantee to adapt well with Man United game. Honestly, I'm not really sure that Leao will easily adapt with EPL and Man United. It is a big challenge to play with Man United, many players already failed in Man United.

useful? How many total goals has Rashford contributed for Manchester United this season in the EPL? But it depends if I become Man United coach, maybe leaving him on the bench for longer is the best option to develop the team. These statistics seem reasonable, but based on his contribution in each match, Rashford is completely useless, running here and there, and Ten Hag still uses him as a striker or is it really a bad coach's strategy? I don't enjoy Manchester United poor performance and it could be that if it continues like this it will be far behind other teams that are developing and have the courage to make the decision to go through the process. Keeping Rashford and Erik Ten Hag would both be ridiculous.
You are right that Rashford is not having a productive year this year. Rashford has only scored 7 goals so far in Manchester United. We have to admit that it is inefficient. There are some other players like him and I think Manchester United should get rid of them. Ten Hag should not be in charge of the team next season.
That should be the case, as it would be better for club officials to decide on their collaboration with Ten Hag, he has failed to manage the Red Devils this season. The depth of the squad he built, which used up a lot of budget, turned out to be going backwards, there was no significant development shown by the new recruits.

United management would be better off streamlining the squad in the next transfer window, where players who have minimal contribution are better off being let go and looking for suitable replacements. But if Ten Hag is still the head coach, I think United goal of becoming a title challenging team next season will again fail.

This season, almost all United players failed to show their best talents. We no longer know where the Red Devils shortcomings lie this season not to mention if we talk about internal conflicts involving players and coaches, all of this makes United go backwards. There is nothing we can be proud of about United this season, they have received more sharp criticism from fans than praise.

Bayern Munich's 11-year Bundesliga reign is now being broken by new coach Xabi Alonso, who is making history that fans will never forget and a treble winner will soon follow.

Leverkusen still has the potential to win two more trophies given the team's performance which has never lost... Something that is impossible for other teams.

I want to say the same about Harry Kane, is it possible that the curse continues at Bayer Munich? It did happen because Kane moved to Bayern Munich wanting to hold the trophy but ran aground.
Kane can be said to be prolific in the number of goals he has but not with the team that won the title.
Leverkusen has succeeded in answering all the doubts and concerns of football observers by winning the Bundesliga trophy, that all teams have the opportunity to win the Bundesliga trophy and break Bayern dominance. We have seen how Bayern glorious era was destroyed by Leverkusen in the perfect way, namely by appearing unbeatable.

Regarding Leverkusen chances of winning another trophy, I think the chances of Xabi fleet are quite high, where the DFB Pokal and Europa League trophies seem to be coming soon. The competition in the European League will feel easier if Liverpool are completely eliminated by Atalanta, and in the DFB Pokal final Leverkusen chances are quite high because their opponents there are relatively easy.

Kane still has several seasons left to lift the trophy, and Bayern failure this season is not the result of his curse. I predict Kane will taste the trophy before retiring, Bayern will certainly try to recover next season and they will try with Kane again.

There is no longer any influence on the draw result that Inter Milan received because they were quite far ahead in points from their competitors and also got less than satisfactory results so there was nothing threatening for Inter Milan even though they played a draw.
I am not surprised by the draw that Inter Milan got against a bottom team at home, they do not have much greater motivation because it is almost certain that Inter Milan will win the Scudetto this season without any significant pressure and the Inter Milan coach in This match involved a lot of player rotation so their performance was not optimal and they could only play a draw at home.
That's right, Inter are no longer in a serious mode of securing points in every match, they are just taking care not to lose. Apart from that, betting on their victory requires a lot of consideration, because their interest in winning the Scudetto has been achieved thanks to the point difference they currently have.

Inzaghi will experiment with a number of second tier players, giving them more playing time, while preparing them to become main players next season. A draw against Cagliari is not a big problem, they are currently just waiting for the time to lift the Scudetto.

Inter only need one more win to ensure themselves as Serie A champions this season, and that will happen next week when Inzaghi's fleet will face eternal rivals Milan. On paper, Inter are the favorites to get full points, and it is likely that Milan will not be able to postpone Inter party.

I think you're absolutely right with your opinion about Paris Saint Germaine's poor outing in the UEFA Champions League being caused by their dominance in the French league. The French league without doubt is the less most competitive among the top five leagues in Europe and for a team that's always dominating it, Paris Saint Germaine are always more relaxed when they play crucial games in the UEFA Champions League because to them, they think it'll be as easy as it used to be in their domestic league.
I think the presence of Kylian Mbappe in the team should've given them all the needed support they need to win the UEFA Champions League title this season but if they fail to at least reach the final with the France international, qualifying for the final when he's left the club I think will be very difficult for them.
PSG once built the best lineup to win the Champions League trophy, but they failed to realize this dream, financial strength cannot buy an instant mentality. PSG needs to build a foundation with a winning mentality, which is one of the main indicators for competing in the Champions League. It's no use having a star-studded squad if their egos can't be united to achieve one goal.

We can see that the Bundesliga is also not that competitive, they are slightly better than Ligue 1, but Bayern has won the Champions League trophy. Maybe that's a very relevant example that we can still convey, PSG needs to build a squad like Bayern method. Financial strength makes things easier, but sometimes this backfires.

The news of Mbappe leaving is still widely rumored, PSG management does not need to force him to stay longer, because the player is no longer interested in defending PSG. Why keep wooing him to stay, it's better for PSG to focus on finding new players next season, who knows, Mbappe departure will make it easier for PSG to win the Champions League trophy.

In the Europa League, their only rival seemed to be liverpool, which is also almost eliminated. There they are also the favourites for the cup. And in the Europa League it's much easier for them. They'll focus there with their minds at ease after Bundesliga title. Even if they don't win the Europa League, they have a perfect championship. They made such a good squad... to rest and change the offence and midfield, to stay at the same tempo and be undefeated champions is a very high level thing. There are no bad footballers, only uncooked footballers in the hands of a good manager. Xhaka was criticised and wanted to be sent off because his performance was very bad at Arsenal. Here he contributed a lot to bundesliga title and he will probably be very effective winning the Europa League title.
If Liverpool are eliminated by Atalanta then Leverkusen will be the favorite team to win the Europa League this season, no one has been able to stop Xabi fleet so far. The competition for the trophy in the Bundesliga has been completed perfectly, now Xabi will be a little more relaxed and just needs to keep his unbeaten record safe.

Xabi next focus is the Europa League, West Ham needs a miracle to turn things around, Leverkusen has a 2 goal advantage at the moment. Xabi has the freedom to rest his key players for domestic competitions, and he will field his best squad in Europa League matches. Meanwhile, for other competitions such as the DFB Pokal, Leverkusen will not be too worried because they will face relatively easy opponents.

Regarding Xhaka, he is the brains of Leverkusen game this season, all of Xabi words and instructions are converted well by him on the pitch. His vital role in midfield made Leverkusen game more effective, Xabi succeeded in providing the best role to unleash Xhaka potential. Arsenal failed to see the maturity possessed by Xhaka, a very impressive first season at Leverkusen.

The mentality and self-confidence of Arsenal players is quite low now because of the poor results they got in the Champions League first leg against Bayern who were only able to draw at home and the surprising defeat in the Premier League match at home against Aston Villa.
I see this as what happened in the previous season, their mentality was really bad and when they were under pressure they couldn't show their best performance.

Now I am increasingly convinced that Arsenal will not be able to win the second leg when they visit Bayern Munich's headquarters. In terms of quality, Arsenal is quite good, but I look at what happened last season and I think this will also happen again this season for Arsenal.
Arsenal need a miracle to be able to beat Bayern in the second leg, where their chances of beating Tuchel fleet are considered very low, the Allianz Arena will be the place where Arsenal dreams are buried. Failing to take advantage of the home match in the first leg certainly raises a lot of question marks, plus they also lost to Aston Villa at the Emirates.

These two bad results are enough for us to conclude that Arteta squad seems to be returning to last season settings, where they lost consistency towards the end of the season. Arteta has put in all the hard work to achieve success this season, but mentality plays an important role in their journey to withstand every pressure.

It is not wrong when we currently assume that Arsenal will repeat last season mistakes, it is like they are under a curse to be consistent in an important period like now. Of course I don't believe in this curse, Arsenal weakness this season lies in their front line, Arteta doesn't have a goal hungry striker who can make a difference in every match.
