Yes, at least this season Juventus will probably win the Copa Italia trophy. Yes, because currently, Juventus is leading from Atalanta in the final-match of Copa Italia.
Current position:
Atalanta 0 - 1 Juventus
The match is over, Juventus can keep their leading with 1 goal until the end of the match. The quick goal made Vlahovic leads Juventus to win a single trophy this season. It is actually not too bad for Allegri and Juventus, they still can win a trophy at least. Copa Italia trophy is also a prestigious trophy.  Wink

Since Allegri can give a trophy for Juventus, I am curious that Juventus management will keep him. The rumor that Allegri will leave Juventus after the season ends, seems to be answered by the trophy of Coppa Italia. If Juventus management can't hire Conte or another top coach, I am sure they will try to keep Allegri until the end of his contract.

Anyway congratulations for Juventus!!!!


Big congratulations to Juventus. Their Coppa Italia win was huge! Incredible player Dusan Vlahovic scored early, changing the game. Its great to see them win a trophy this season given their Serie A problems.

It was a tough game. Atalanta fought hard, but Juve's defense was fantastic. World-class player Vlahovic kept Atalanta defense on edge. This victory provides them momentum. Regarding Allegri, I agree - some think we need Conte, but Allegri may be safer for now. We need long-term thinking and new ideas to dominate the league and European games, right? The winning is a start.

Salutations, and lets make next season Juventus' best! Winning!


This is one of mistake to avoid in any cup match finals, don't allow your opponent to get an early goal because that may mark the end of that match, cup matches are played with carefulness, what happened in that match was not really that surprising to me, Juventus is not a team to underrate if not that most of their players are absent, Juventus has struggled so much in their league this season i think this they deserve this winning, though Atlanta tried but luck was against them.
Juventus management need to bring more meaningful players in the team to keep the team in forefront next season, the wining has at least console them too after all they didn't end the league trophyless, lets hope for a strong and prepared Juventus next season.

The final match will be played at the Etihad stadium. It would be a great place to celebrate a championship. City are in the best position to win the EPL this season. They will play West Ham and it is not a difficult opponent for them. I don't expect any surprises as City will be very motivated to win. And you're right City won't have any pressure in the final game. The reason is because they are playing at home. With the support of fans, I am sure City will be able to beat West Ham. It looks like we can congratulate City on winning the EPL title this season.
For the final match in EPL, Man City will play against West Ham and Arsenal will face Everton. Both Man City and Arsenal will play at their home stadiums. So, we can assume both Man City and Arsenal will have the same chance to win the match. However, if we consider the stats of their opponents, Everton looks more tough because they have good stats in the last 5 matches. Meanwhile for West Ham, it is very unlikely to see them beating Man City since they performed badly recently. According the stats, it is clear that Man City will have a better chance to win EPL trophy. You're right, Man City will celebrate their dramatic championship for this season. It is very unfortunate for Arsenal that they failed again to win EPL trophy. Arsenal must take a big lesson that they must play more consistently, they don't waste too many points again in the next season.



Westham can not achieve anything in that match, so it very likely to see Manchester city winning that game with ease, it is unfortunate that arsenal has missed this opportunity, everton is never going to succumb easily to arsenal, they opportunity was their earlier for arsenal to win this trophy but they messed up, one will say why am sounding this, the record are straight, I have followed Manchester city up for a while, when the EPL trophy is been determined by the result of the final match, Manchester city don't joke with such encounter, so it means that their destiny is in their own hands and they wont lay it off, arsenal must learn how to maintain the lead when they are in first position in the league table if not this mistake will continue to repeat itself.

Some people are so addicted to gambling such that they don't even have a conscience about something that belongs to another and if you ask me I will say this is a form of stealing by tricks and anyone who mismanaged others people's funds to play gamble should be punished severely. Back in the days when I was steal in the village, a man from my community was arrested for a crime he didn't commit and was charged to court and the family of the man gave the man's cousin some money to give to a lawyer that wanted to perfect the man's bail terms only for this his cousin to divert the money into gambling and he lost all the money in the process, when the family found out that was what he did the beat him up severely ever since then he has never entered a gambling hall again.

Gambling is a game of risks so you have to only risk what belongs to you and not to use other people's money to play gamble because if you lose it the consequences awaits you so if you don't have means of raising money to gamble just forget about it at that time till you have money of your own.

Gambling does not know what conscience more especially when addiction is involved, aside gambling, many people are scared to spend other persons money in their possession, give them money today to hold for you ask them tomorrow they will have a lot of excuses to present to you, mate, you should know that such laws cannot be in existence because even rich people do this too the only difference is that they will pay may be gradually or seek for immediate fund to pay, in the case you narrated, there are individuals you will beat like that, it will trigger them to gamble more, gambling has a way of ruining person if not controlled but all depends on the individual gambler, if we notice that someone is a gambler, giving such person public or personal money to keep is very risky because gamblers believe that sure odd exist and thats why they fall into temptation most times.

There have been many cases like that where people misuse other people's money for their own interests, for example gambling with the money in the hope that they can multiply the money and make themselves rich. Gambling using other people's money is a very stupid act, because gambling is uncertain when you win or lose, and you will most likely lose, so gambling using money you shouldn't gamble with is very risky and should be avoided.

A gambler should becare so that problem will not arise from avoidable things, is just that greed can cause anything to happen, most time they problem  with some gambler is greed, the ability to make sure the win more with the fund that does not belong to them, when you see this kind of thing happening just know that addiction is near, it is not wise to make use of fund that was given to you because of trust of whatsoever to gamble, I called this irresponsible character in the highest level, it doesn't sound nice when some one use money at such to gamble, trust is not easy to earn and it is lost it lead a person into problem can only be solved with more borrowed money, this should be frowned at.  
25  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: May 15, 2024, 02:43:26 PM
There was a friend of mine who visited me a day after and he was saying gambling every day draws you more closer to winning.

I asked him how?

He said when you keep trying luck every day you stand the chance not to miss your luck of winning, he also made reference to few people around our locality who won outrageous Money within 31 Dec to 1 January 2024, asking if I knew how often those people keep trying for them to have the winning they got.

I said No! He then say the more you space the more I missed my chances of winning but what I came to understand is that, the more anyone keeps trying the slimmer such persons turns into gambling addiction becus such person will always want to gamble regularly stirring up some forms of pressure to himself. When there is no money to gamble such person don't mind going extramile to source for funds since he has install this mentality of regularly gambling without giving break.

My question is do you think gambling every day is better? From his reasoning and points of narrations.
Gambling everyday with the belief of winning is also same with losing,the both work together is either you win or you lose.The chance of winning doesn't matter how frequent you play but how best you know how to play the game and if your lucky enough you'll win.Your friend is just looking for all means to entice you with his wins from playing frequently but he won't tell you his losses from his frequent gambling.So if you wanna gamble it shouldn't be everyday so you don't get addicted to it.

It not is how best you play, I will say that it is the ability of your luck to shine that works for you in gambling, although you must know the kind of game you play before you can win in gambling but the truth is that no matter how safe means you apply in choosing your options, losing or wining is not determined by that, if you will win it will happen, your technique does not matter, you can not be smarter than the odd fixers,that's why there are many uncertainties facing gambling and a gambler that understands this fact does not chase shadows by gambling every day, gambling everyday will only enhance your ability to become an addict and nothing else, this is why a gambler should know when to stop so that he/she will be able to control this habit.

Atalanta is a team that is close to achieving incredible success this year and they have progressed well. They will play the final match against Bayern Leverkusen in Europe, we need to talk about this match separately, there is still one week left. Before that, they will play one more final, today with Juventus.

Juventus lost some important players this season and could not replace them with good players. Their last matches always ended in draws. Atalanta is the current favorite in the Italian Cup.

Atlanta performed more than I expected to perform this season, if we should judge from their recent games, we will score them high, both in Europa, the were able to eliminate Liverpool, that alone is an excellent performance from them, I think they team is very hungry to make a difference this season, although it's our mindset that Leverkusen will win in the Europa league finals against Atlanta but the truth is that anything is possible, Italian teams are unpredictable, lets not be surprised if the unexpected happen in that game.
When big teams meet we should expect anything though is is an existing fact that Juventus don't have all it takes to tackle Atlanta at this moment because of their players but we should not forget that this is a cup and Juventus have a good history against Atlanta unless Atlanta we counter them early and score 2goals and play a massive defense, massive attack if not, this game might be surprising with the end result.
27  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 15, 2024, 02:20:00 PM
The premier league has now turn to Pep Guardiolas' league which means they win it whenever they feel like, last night Tottenham made a mistake they can never forget in a hurry. Manchester City wasn't in a rush to get a goal in the first half but once they had that signal that is time to make a change that's when things became rough for the host. Pep has finally turned the league to a farmers league and if care is not taken the league title won't change hands in the next 3 seasons to come, this has shown that no club can be like Manchester City with all they have achieved since they first got their first premier league title. All I know is that the last day is going to be hot for both Manchester City and Arsenal. A quick question, is it over for Arsenal or they still have hope on Sunday?🤔
Obviously because Man City had a delayed match against Tottenham in week 34 which made extra points for Man City because they won against Tottenham yesterday, we have talked about this, Tottenham were expected to stop Man City because some of us thought that Tottenham could be able to play quite well, the fact is not as expected by Arsenal players and supporters, maybe in the last match against West ham United to determine whether Man City will be the Champion this season if Arsenal get a win over Everton.

But this is a difficult hope for Arsenal and it is very forced it looks like they are maintaining themselves in second place again this season and are in the clouds of Man City.
Everyone is talking about Man City. They're likely to secure a fourth consecutive league title by defeating West Ham at the Etihad next Sunday. Meanwhile, Arsenal needs to beat Everton and hope for a Man City loss or draw. However, City is incredibly tough to beat at home. I don't see any way Arsenal can win this title; nothing will stop Man City from clinching the EPL title. I blame Arsenal, but I believe next season might be their turn. It's better to accept their second place position. In football, success comes to those who want it more, not to those who merely hope for it.
Manchester city is just a match away from claiming the Premier League title and they do deserve it, having worked tirelessly both the coach and players. During the match against Tottenham, Pep understood it was either to win the game and win the title or lose and it will be given to Arsenal, that was his greatest fear especially when the game became more intense, now he is left with just to defeat a smaller team who doesn't stand a chance against them and yet playing at home (Etihad). Arsenal deserves it, but I can see the passion to win more in City and truly the trophy fits them well, next season might tend to favor Arsenal since they already came this far they have the highest quality over others to win next season.

I have always said it that manchester city is not a team to joke with at stage of the premiership, though the game of soccer is somehow not predictable but to an extend we can still say something regardless of the unpredictable nature of football, already know that Manchester city will be defeating Tottenham in the yesterday match, the team very feat and ready to counter Tottenham  now, to have lost many games before they manage to secure a win before this manchester city defeat against them, i never expected arsenal to win the league although they performed very well this season know doubt but we should be considering consistency and ability of a team to deliver on crucial matches.
28  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 15, 2024, 02:09:47 PM

Girona's defeat against Vilarreal never occurred to me. The reason is, in this match, since the first half, Girona was able to dominate the game and always launched attacks which were very troublesome for Vilareal's defense. Therefore, I predict that Girona will definitely win with a landslide score in this match. But apparently, until the first half was over, not a single Girona player's attack had resulted in a goal. In fact, in the second half it was Girona who conceded, and until the match was over Girona failed to equalize. In my opinion, Girona was very unlucky in this match. The reason is, there were several golden opportunities that almost became goals, but unfortunately they were always thwarted by Vilareal's defenders.

Even though it's heavy, Girona must be able to accept this defeat, and of course must bear the shame of losing at home. Apart from that, the possibility that Girona can finish as runners-up in La Liga this time is a little doubtful. The reason is that this opportunity could not be utilized properly in the match against Vilareal this time. However, Girona still has 2 more matches left in LaLiga, so the opportunity to compete for second place with Barcelona still continues.

I will say that I didn't understand girona game yesterday because if you look at the possession they but they were unable to utilize their chances, I will say that opportunity came for Villarreal to make a difference and the utilized it and that was it, football, I expected an equalizer from girona but it didn't happen, although I won't blame them much after all thats football where anything is possible unless after the final whistle by the referee, girona was doing very great from the begining of this season but all of sudden everything changed, many gamblers lost their money yesterday because I believe that many of them stake girona to win or either halves, I cant say if girona will finish second in the spanish laliga this season because unless Barcelona will open that gap again for them, girona match with Villarreal was seen as a disappointing moment for both viewers and bettors.

I see that current youth is inspired by celebrities and influencers in big way. Did you also start investing in bitcoin because of some celebrity ? Or you know people who belong to that category ? Is it a wise decision to do so or we should do our own research for better results ?

Though some might trigger an investor to make decision of investing in Bitcoin but the decision of investing in this digital asset should be done personally so that we won't blame anyone if anything happens, I think th best approach or way to go about Bitcoin is for an intending investor to make research even though their has been news and speculation about Bitcoin, an investor is required to do research before investing because in course of this research, you will know the advantages and disadvantages of Bitcoin, Bitcoin has it is own bad times, we shouldn't expect profit always, lets not also forget that bitcoin is unpredictable despite that the advantages of Bitcoin surpass the demerit but then we are expected to investment after we research about Bitcoin so that we will understand what it entails.

If suddenly you went on a binge-gambling out of a lack of self-control or something else. For example, you deposit money in rapid succession after a series of losses and the casino management freezes your account. And when you call their customer support, they tell you that your account has been frozen for 3 weeks and the reason why they carried out that measure was because they suspected that you were gambling irresponsibly and decided to take that measure so that you can call yourself back to order, will you feel furious, cuss out, sign out of your account and register on another casino and continue betting. Does even freezing a customer's account curb irresponsible gambling or betting addiction?


This heps to an extent but then it can not totally solve th problem of addiction because if a particular casino decide to freeze a gambler account, such gambler might decide to open another account with a different name in the same Casino or other casino so how does this solve the problem, personally I feel that persistent advice and evidence of what addiction has done to people can goo a long way to correct a gambler to work inline to minimize their irresponsible gambling habit, we shouldn't forget that no matter the advice we give to excessive gamblers, is only when they see good reasons to our advise they can stop it, if the measures you outline is been put in place, it may trigger them more once the casino unfreeze their account because at that point they were idle if thats the case they would have been eager to continue their gambling, in conclusion advice and mentorship will help to solve this problem.
31  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When did you realize you need to be a responsible gambler so you can continue ? on: May 14, 2024, 03:46:29 PM
Losing a lot of money is the main reason most gamblers quit their gambling habits or minimize the way they gamble. In my case, I minimize the way I gamble when I lose the amount I wasn't expecting to lose within a short time, that experience alone made me learn how to gamble less so that I won't lose hugely in betting in a single day. Nothing more painful than knowing fully well that the money you have with you for an important thing is no more in your custody

Yea, gamblers desist from excessive gambling when they notice that it ain't beneficial to them instead they lose more than the profit but this happens when a gambler is in control of his/her gambling habits, gambling has to be done with caution, gambling ordinarily need carefulness so everyone that wants to be be responsible in gambling have to do it ina safest way which is gambling with what you can afford to lose, most addiction today was as a result of gamblers inability to control there emotion when loses occur, if you lose funds in gambling though it is not an easy thing to bear but your ability to control yourself is what I call responsible gambling.  
32  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 14, 2024, 03:33:00 PM
Yes Tottenham still have hope but that their hope is almost impossible. Tottenham will have to defeat Manchester City if they are to still be consider as contender for the champions league qualification position. Manchester City is looking for a way to reclaim their lead at the top of the league tonight against Tottenham, so telling me that Manchester City will lose so that Tottenham will still have hope of qualification is nearly impossible. City cannot ruin their plans because of Tottenham. Aston Villa team should just be celebrating right now, because Manchester City is going to do the job for them tonight. Tottenham should just settle for Europa league it is the best shot for them.

I doubt that Tottenham will be able to beat Manchester City, although we cannot underestimate any of the teams, but I think Tottenham will have difficulty with Manchester City's game, which is beyond doubt. On the other hand, it is certain that Tottenham will do their best so that they can beat Manchester City, but Tottenha must be able to see that their current opponent is a team that is in good performance which might make things difficult for them.

Also, with Manchester City still chasing the top of the standings, it is impossible for them to relax with their match against Tottenham, of course Manchester City will definitely do their best so that they get points and return to the top of the standings. I think this match will be exciting. I think Manchester City can excel in their match against Tottenham.
Maybe it's not just you, of course there are many who doubt that Tottenham can win against Man City, because the quality of Tottenham and Man City's game looks very different. It is true that this match is very difficult for Tottenham to win against Man City. It can be seen that Tottenham's performance is indeed decreasing and inconsistent in every match, this indicates that Tottenham is not doing well. Man City cannot possibly waste this match in order to win. The reason is, this match is very important for Man City to be able to compete with Arsenal for first place as well as determining who will win the title later.
It's true that the qualities of Tottenham and Manchester City are very different, but I'm sure Tottenham will play very well tonight, especially from a defensive perspective. Tottenham's mission is to get a ticket to the UCL next season, so they must be able to win the remaining two matches against Manchester City and Sheff Utd, and hope that Aston Villa loses to Crystal Palace.
Even though it is unlikely that Tottenham will be able to beat Manchester City, nothing is impossible and anything can still happen.
Apart from that, the two teams have the same results in their five meetings, Tottenham won twice and Manchester City also won twice and 1 if they drew. And this match will also be decisive for Manchester City, whether they can beat Tottenham at home. If so, they are certain to be the defending champions. And this will be a tense match and the final to determine Manchester City.

It is very obvious that Manchester city will win this match, Manchester city has all it takes to win Tottenham, I have been following Tottenham  lately, I find out that the team is not in a good shape, the performance of the team is very poor and with their recent games I don't see any possibility of them winning Manchester City.
Manchester city don't joke when the season have reach this level, so as it stands now the league is more important to Manchester city than anything, so giving Tottenham such chance is very slim, this match determines if Manchester city will lift the trophy, I consider it a work over for them because they will apply every force within their reach to make this come through.
33  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did gambling losses are traps to new game on: May 14, 2024, 03:05:57 PM
Since gambling sites and casinos are out there for business, they will always make sure that the system is programmed in a way that it will be in their favor most of times, amd this is why the say of the house hedge always win , because real gamblers knows this, that no matter how you think that you are smart in gambling, you will always run at loss, and they gamble for fun.

If you chase your old losses thinking that you will recover them, that is where the problem starts from because you will only have more losses and if you continue, addiction will the next.

Gambling loss is normal for people that understand the game but for newbies that are still battling with decisions,this can lead them to making gambling a habit, at this stage I have understand gambling as a mere prediction that works with luck, so for a gambler to adapt in the game of gambling he/she shouldn't rely on gambling or be too sure of the predictions made so far because changes are bound to happen,let not forget that even though history have it that team A won Team B in a particular year, it does not mean that such incident will repeat itself because the players that are present then may not be in the team currently that's why every one should see gambling as an unforseen circumstance that needed carefulness to be involved.

The government does not want the average class and low class citizens to grow from that level to the next level, and this is why they have come up with taxes to eat up their income through various taxes, so that they will remain in that level and live from paycheck to paycheck. The government uses taxes to rob us of our hard earned money legally, and there is nothing one can do because they have put it in the law.

Yea you are making sense, I have watch closely most decision that government make in regards to tax has never favour the citizens, rich people understands this and that's why they default sometimes, the government is our problem, the citizens should grow in that reasoning so that when they work and receive salary for a period of time, they will save and invest in something meaningful if not they will be stagnated financially because of the government tax policy.
The major reason why the government treat its citizen like this, I because they know that if taxes are not that high many individuals will challenge them politically so for this not to happen taxes are used to silence some people.

Every thing must have a future plan, if we forget the future plan just to be good in the present, then our future will not be good at all. The OP makes some pretty good points here, we need to think about the time. I spent enough money because I have enough money, but if there is no money in the future, then there will be no money to spend when needed. From the amount of money we have, we have to spend the amount of money that we need to spend, then we have to try to invest a part of the remaining money and try to save a part of it. If the investment can be planned from now and the plan can be implemented then this investment can change the financial status of a person in the future, on the other hand if the person has savings along with the investment then that savings will stand at the risk of the person. So you should plan with investment and savings to have time.

I totally agree with you on people putting more effort to the future than the present,some person has taken it open themselves to continue to lavish forgetting that our future foundation starts now, finances are not meant for lavishing, is not as if we won't purchase some luxury but before we can do that we should have a strong investment that can sustain us even though we decide to purchase whatever we want, I Believe in investing my money in a good asset because rich people today was able to figure out what they can offer as a service to humanity so that they will be paid in return and many of them has spread their tentacles to the extent that they can't be poor again because of the level of wealth they have acquired so far, if we want to be rich there are sacrifices we have to make, those sacrifice will stand as testimony when we finally reach where we plan to be.

On the road to success you cannot underestimate learning from other people's experiences that have already gone through the business path that you want to take, otherwise you can make costly mistakes that you would've avoided if you've learned from their experiences. But I can agree that after learning from them that you should be the one to decide your own part, what you've learned from other experienced people will serve as a guide to you, so you can have a clearer vision from different perspectives. It's good to learn from your own personal, but we can not discard the experiences of successful people

I agree with you on this, success come with learning and if you must learn, you are meant to meet different people with different thinking and mindset, but as a human you should be able to identify good and bad and all time, experience matters in all we though not only in business setting but all areas of life, as someone who wants to grow financially you need people that has gone through such experience, lets also understand understand that temptation is always available once you want to progress and that's why we should know people that we listen to so that we won't miss it all in the journey to wealth.
But the major path to follow if you really want to be successful in life, you must be strategic in your plans, think before you execute it business plan, check out for profitable and trusted investments and always ask question once you are confused about a situation so that you won't make a regrettable mistake.

Crude is one of the most valuable natural resources in the world but if you look around many oil producing states are facing serious economic challenges.

They are facing economical challenge because they do not know how to utilize the resources that they have. They're either been oppress out of their resources or corruption is making only a few set of people to benefits from the national resource. Other countries are using the excuse of wars to steal their oils without them knowing. If you can utilizes your oil resource well you'll be wealthy. Countries like Qatar that have only crude oil has utilized it to the extent that they're among the richest countries in the world. Crude oil isn't losing any significant because the renewable energy can't sustain the earth like how crude is used for fueling.

Quote
Before now crude used to be valuable and made many countries wealthy but now nothing like that again. Is it that these natural resources are not enough to keep us going?

Crude oil is still valuable, the price is increasing always and making the nations that owns crude oil rich because when crude oil is discovered in any country and they make use of it well they'll be among the top riches countries in the world. Apart from the countries that don't know what they have or have the resources to get the most out of crude oil, the rest that knows the value are all rich so crude oil is still significant in the world.

Oil itself is a treasure and blessing to any country that owns it especially the state that it's located, the problem is not only the utilization because the government of those countries knows how to utilized the money but they misappropriate the funds pretend as if they are doing good to the nation, this is more reason why it is better for countries that practice true federalism, the state manage their resources and pay a particular amount of tax to the federal government, in some country different stories all the time, government don't come clean to tell their citizens how much is been made from oil revenue instead the embezzle the money and do whatever that pleases them.

What you said is true, other countries have use war to reck many countries, sometimes too they sign agreement with them to drill the oil for some years to give them ammunition and manpower to fight too, since the oil is their in abundance, the countries that owns them won't say know but unknowingly to them that they are doomed.

AS Roma took the lead in the match but they were so comfortable after scoring the two goals which they were to be so protective of their defence to secure those goals more but they wastefully misuse that opportunity and Bayern Leverkusen easily came back into the game to level the game once more. They continued their dominance in all competitions and also continue the streak of their unbeaten run. Can any team even stop them now from winning this trophy, I don’t think so as they’ve proven that they’re the best for the this season.
The come back of Leverkusen is very impressive because it is a knock out match and they have to face with a very strong opponent. Moreover, the opponent is from Italy where defense is like their traditional art. Leverkusen are strong but they also have support of luck because without the own goal of Mancini, I doubt that Leverkusen can come back.

I believe without that own goal, Roma can block Leverkusen attacks like they did last season but what happened is a big gift for Leverkusen. This own goal of Mancini opens the match for Leverkusen because after that, Roma have nothing to lose more. If the result remains, they will fail in aggregated result and they have to attack to find a third goal. With big space from Roma, Leverkusen have many opportunities to equalize the match and they wasted some chances before scoring a very late goal to make their come back more dramatic.

The first half of this game was a disaster for both bettors and leverkusen themselves but leverkusen proved to be more superior than Roma, that match has noted a bad record for Roma, defeating a team by 2:0 in such an important match and later allowing them to penetrate to equalize the match, this where I blame the manager not only the players, when they were 2:0 ahead the manager would have used a 4 men defense, 4 midfield and 2 attackers at least this would have helped them to maintain the lead and also look for more goals, we never can tell what would have happened if the match ended in a penalty shootout, the own goal was uncalled for but then that where I believe that god of soccer exist, football should be played with determination and a lot of seriousness, although Leverkusen deserved the winning but Roma allowed it to be that way.

Dortmund cannot be looked down on too much, they’ve exhibited an exemplary display of performance from the beginning of the tournament till them getting to the finals of the competition. They wouldn’t have come this far to just allow Real Madrid to beat them and win the trophy easily.
Both Dortmund and Real Madrid, no one needs to underestimate each other. Because they are both the best and strongest clubs at the moment, even though there may be stronger ones out there, but for now at UCL, they are both the best. Qualifying for the final round is not an easy thing, and it's not just because of luck. So, both of them will definitely give their best performance so that they can achieve the optimal results possible.

It's just that, if you consider the data, Real Madrid definitely has far more experience in UCL finals than Dortmund. And with this experience, with an experienced coach too, Real Madrid should have a greater chance of winning. However, once again, it is not an easy matter, in every match, especially the Champions final, there will always be a lot of things happening on the field throughout the match. Biak Anceloti and Terzic will definitely develop various strategies that are most fixed and appropriate to suit their position and that of their opponent.

Yea both teams should not take each other for granted, as it is, I think Dortmund and Madrid concentration is the champions league, the preparation is more important for both teams than their league, Madrid is already the champions of laliga, German bundeliga liga has been announced already, so for Dortmund that league has finished, they will do everything possible to avoid any injury in their team likewise Madrid, both team making it to the finals was not an easy fight but here they are today, personally I feel that Madrid can never take any team unserious when it comes to the champions league finals, lets not also forget that Dortmund sees this as an opportunity too and will want to make it a dream come through by all means, yea, we have seen that Madrid is more exposed and experienced in the champions league than their opponent but history may refuse to repeat itself this time, that's should be more reason why they have to up their games in that match.
