It doesn't matter if there will be more Real Madrid or Dortmund supporters in the stands because it is clear, basically Real Madrid has a very good winning mentality. Therefore, even though for example there will be more Dortmund supporters in the stands but still, Real Madrid will still be able to play well. However, that doesn't mean I underestimate Dortmund,  but in reality Real Madrid has better quality. Therefore, of course it is not surprising that in reality Real Madrid is also the favorite team to win, but of course Dortmund will also do their best, and so any team it will still not be easy to win in a final match like this.
Head-to-head statistics between Dortmund vs Real Madrid are as follows, especially in the Champions League.

  • In the last 14 meetings between Dortmund and Real Madrid, Dortmund was only able to win 3 matches. Real Madrid won 6 matches, the rest were draws in 5 match.

Based on these H2H statistics, I dare to say that Real Madrid is the team that will win the final match this season. But the match is certainly expected to be very tight because Dortmund's performance this season has been very good. Dortmund are definitely desperate to win the Champions League title this season, but their low odds don't make many people put much faith in them.

When I checked the final result of Villarreal vs Real Madrid, I was surprised that the match ended in a 4-4 draw because Real Madrid was leading Villarreal by 1-4 at halftime. I will say this happened because Real Madrid has already won the La Liga title this season, and they are just playing for fun. Secondly, the reason why Sørloth was able to score four goals against Real Madrid is because most of Real Madrid's first eleven didn't feature in this match.
Villarreal made an extraordinary comeback at home after trailing 1-4 in the first half. The most impressive thing about this match is, Sørloth scored 3 goals in a very short time between minutes 48 to 56, another goal was scored in the first half.

I don't think Real Madrid didn't take this game seriously, but their defense was very poor especially in the second half. Real Madrid really looked good in the first half, but Villarreal changed everything in the second half and managed to prevent defeat. But fortunately, Real Madrid did not suffer a defeat because otherwise it would have been their second defeat this season in La Liga.

Honestly Manchester City managed to win the league,  if Arsenal had not lose one of their games to Aston Villa they would have won the title this season.  Manchester City winning the league was not easy compare to last season. In last season I think Manchester City won the league with several points more than arsenal but in this season Manchester City was just trying to get some point to be ahead of Arsenal.  If Manchester City had made any slight mistake in their games would have been opportunity for arsenal but I think Manchester are very lucky this season again.

Arsenal have done well in their performance this season, with what they have achieved this season they have good chances of winning the league soon. I think with all this games Arteta is having mich experience on how to be able to win titles. Next season is another opportunity for arsenal to go for the title again.  I really appreciate the effort,  performance of Arsenal,  even if they were not able to win the title, I'm okay with their performance. If Arsenal can still maintain a performance like this winning titles won't be a problem for them. Arsenal will continue the race for the title next season and they will surely get it.
Last season Arsenal and Manchester City were 5 points apart in the title race, but this season the points gap between Arsenal and Manchester City is only 2 points. The number of points collected by Arsenal and Manchester City this season is slightly more, which means that both teams have both improved in performance. Arsenal failed to win in important matches towards the end of the season, meanwhile Manchester City appeared very consistent with a total of 8 consecutive wins towards the end of the season.

Arsenal's defeat to Aston Villa really affected Arsenal this season. Manchester City realized that well and took advantage of their opportunities perfectly. Manchester City has a better winning mentality as defending champion than Arsenal, but there will come a time when Manchester City will not be able to maintain it in the coming seasons.

would already be that hard. How much more into those upcoming years to come? There's so much thing that could happen along the way on which it would really be that so hard
to tell on what would happen. This is why actions would really be that differentiating to each other.
You can use several indicators to carry out analysis and determine where the price of bitcoin is heading for different TFs. It's true, it's difficult to predict prices especially since bitcoin is completely uncontrolled. Prices can move in any direction and can even reverse direction quickly for one reason or another.

If you are a holder, then keep holding. Bitcoin has never promised big returns to its investors, but growing investor interest and adoption over time will create higher demand which in turn makes the price more expensive. Set higher targets and keep your psychology in check with market dynamics, I think there will be a right time to get those returns in the long term.

Girona is one of the most exciting team in this season while now peoples are looking good change with their arrival, and we are having different sides from the usual four which are fighting for the top spots, but now it's time for them to give their best as well which will increase competition the top of the La Liga which is much needed.

In the first half of this season, things were completely different while Girona were fighting hard for the top spot and having good challenge for the Real Madrid but in second half they were not able to handle pressure and ended to fight for the second spot against Barcelona which is now ended at the second spot and things are completely under their control for this spot but now in next season we will have challenge for them while they will be fought into Champions League and then keeping their momentum into La Liga could be not easy for them.
I can't argue about what Girona have achieved so far, I mean they have been very successful in La Liga this season. It was difficult to achieve the same in the past, but Girona proved this season that they can. Girona is a surprising La Liga team, of course because of the team's performance and its mainstay players throughout the season. Artem Dovbyk, who plays as a center forward, so far leads the top scorers with 20 goals scored, this is the player's best achievement in La Liga.

Next season, Girona may not be as strong as this season, especially if some of their best players move and are interested in playing for other teams. Girona must bring in several new players to strengthen their defense, provide balance and also make the team more productive. It wasn't easy, of course, but they must have planned for it.

Yes they've had quite a good season so far no doubts, However it's not about Arsenal having a good performance this season, that's not the expectation by most people, fans and supporters, Because it is high time Arsenal should lift the premier league trophy and that's the end goal , They had the same opportunity to lead to the end just as Manchester City has but they still spare that opportunity just like what they did in the very past season ,and repeating such thing this season is where it's really getting someone annoying,  I'm not commending them in any way except if they lift this trophy tomorrow, else all the efforts this season to me will be a waste of energy.
Arsenal still hasn't changed, I don't mean about the team's performance, but about the winning mentality. Every time many people expect Arsenal to lead the standings and win the title at the end of the season, they fail to live up to those expectations. All fans are very disappointed with Arsenal's final achievements, but they still have hopes of improving it in each future season.

Manchester City has a better mentality than Arsenal in fighting for the title every season, even this season Manchester City, which seems doubtful about securing the 4th title, is impressive and has a great chance of securing it. Arsenal, which is left with a 2 point gap behind Manchester City, can only hope that Manchester City loses in the final match, while Arsenal also has to win against Everton. It's a tough scenario for Arsenal, but it's still possible to hold out hope before the final game ends.

Leverkusen are still crushing every obstacle that gets ahead of them.  Smiley Bochum was the last victim and Augsburg is about to be the next one. The winning streak has reached 50 matches.

They are coming for the Europa League trophy as well for sure.  Wink  On the other hand, Atalanta have just lost the opportunity to achieve a Coppa Italia trophy by losing to Juventus. They might be a little down in morale due to that result. They have been performing really differently in the Europa League though. However I don't believe they can finish Leverkusen's streak. Is there anyone who has a counter argument to this?
When you come to the final match, you should already know what you have to do. Including Atalanta, they could hurt Leverkusen and thwart their efforts to win the Europa League title even though Leverkusen has been named the unbeatable team in the Bundesliga and Europa League so far.

Both teams have 11 players on the field, they have 45x2 to complete the mission. Of course you can't completely underestimate Atalanta even though Leverkusen's chances are higher, Atalanta's win wouldn't be too surprising even if it was considered luck. Nothing is impossible in a match, even in the final minutes everything can change as Leverkusen maintains its unbeaten record in several difficult matches.

It is indeed a smart move to invest on people who rely on you. A man who is wise should always understand this that everyone that comes around you or benefits from you should one way or the other contributing something important into your life. It shouldn't be a criteria but you can make them be useful to you without them noticing. If we do not want to invest in them we can possibly give them a task to do which might have take more time from us if we do them. Time is money and the more time we have the more money we can make.

One simple step to do this is to teach them how to make some money or set up a business that they would be managing for you so that they are not only dependent on you but they are working for you and your paying them which is fair enough.
Becoming a financier for other people's businesses with a profit sharing system is basically quite popular with people. I've considered this before, but definitely have to be very careful when making a decision. I once wanted to invest my money in a jewelry shop with profit sharing at the end of the year, but that never happened after I analyzed the possibilities and risks involved.

Instead of being an investor with profit sharing, I tend to maximize my money by investing in businesses and assets in my own name. I focus on investing in bitcoin and several other crypto assets, this gives me more returns than being an investor in other people's businesses. But of course it's good if we have both at the same time, that means you will have more sources of income.

Unbelievable with Barcelona management a lot of drama, recently Xavi Hernandez will leave his position at the end this season but its withdrew after reach agreement and management give him good project for the future but another surprised updated when Barcelona president announced sacked Xavi from manager position. I think big mistake and too much drama made by Barcelona in this season, first sacked Xavi Hernandez and then withdrew it but finally left two matches Xavi Hernandez must out as manager position for next season.

Still not any official confirmation reason why management sack Xavi Hernandez from his position after reaching agreement deal last several week ago keep extend with Barcelona, I think too much internal problem make him not comfortable extended for staying with Barcelona until next season, now difficult to find who replacement for filling Barcelona manager?
It is completely inconceivable that Barcelona would fire Xavi after he decided to stay, but perhaps this is still just a rumor that cannot be completely confirmed. Of course it would not be a surprise if Barcelona were looking for a replacement coach for Xavi if they no longer wanted to keep him. The rift in the relationship between coach and management may be the cause of all the drama, but there must be another reason why this rumor is being talked about intensively.

Personally I don't expect Xavi to leave Barcelona after he has succeeded in helping Barcelona grow. Barcelona has shown changes and improvements during Xavi's time in charge, but expecting him to perform perfectly is impossible. Barcelona has financial problems, which means the management can't really hope that Xavi can win the title every season.

That is just my belief because even if Atalanta win Liverpool and are able to knock them out of the league, I know Bayer leverkusen will not be easy for them because, even in performance, Liverpool and Bayer leverkusen are not on the same page this season, which is why I don’t think Atalanta will make it.
 
So all I will think for them will be that they should try their possible best to play in the final, but there are still some things that I do put into consideration because the game might end in a draw, and if that happens, I will still give my win to Bayer Leverkusen because I think their goalkeeper is better than that of Atalanta. That is why I still don’t think they will be able to go with the trophy, that is why I have more hope in Bayer Leverkusen.
In reality, everyone would probably pick Leverkusen to win the Europa League title over Atalanta. Leverkusen is increasingly frightening in Europe considering their consistency in maintaining their unbeaten record, so Atalanta will already be under pressure before the match even starts.

The atmosphere of the final match which will be held at the Aviva Stadium will be very tight. I expect a great final for both teams, but it is possible that the winner will be determined via penalty shootout. Atalanta is considered a strong team in defense, but overall Atalanta's statistics are no better than Leverkusen. Had there been a vote, I would have had Leverkusen to win.

I was once a gambling addict who almost every day never missed playing slots. I lost a lot of money but I think it is a consequence that I have to accept responsibly. There were times when I blamed myself for my gambling addiction which made me fail to save more money every month, but in the end my gambling intensity decreased as time went by although sometimes I could still entertain myself with some games.

I don't really gamble for money, but money is one of the goals of most gamblers. Responsibly I am aware of what the risks of addiction are and how I can overcome them, but so far my efforts have been successful, at least.

It looks like Leeds United will be back in the Premier League in the new season. Today they beat Norwich City 4-0 in the semi-final second leg to reach the final. Now their opponents will be Southampton or West Bromwich. They are all well-established Premier League teams. I think Leeds United will be back. They deserved it after collecting 90 points in the regular season. Leicester City and Ipswich Town are the teams that are certain to make it to the PL. They will add color to the league in the new season.
Leicester were truly able to prove themselves that they still deserved to be in the Premier League after being relegated to the Championship League last season. They are returning to the Premier League after a season away, which is great for them.

Ipswich Town are not a team that I know very well, I think they will only last for a season in the Premier League next season. This season Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield will be relegated, obviously that is very unpleasant for them and their coach.

Regarding the title race, I think Manchester City will complete their plans this season by defending the title. Manchester City only needs one win to secure the title, or only needs a draw if Arsenal draws or loses against Everton.

That's why it's called gambling in the first place, nothing is certain so don't be surprised if actually Dortmund do the unreasonable and came out on top of Real Madrid come that final day of play, so I would just tell you some advice which is to gamble on the odd with little funds that won't affect you even if Dortmund doesn't win because the whole world of football expect Real Madrid to win even the bookmakers but sometimes things do change so goodluck.
Even though Dortmund are not favorites in the final match, it doesn't feel like they really deserve to be underestimated. Dortmund have proven themselves to reach the final by beating many strong teams since the group stage, so I have no reason why they should be underestimated by some fans.

It's reasonable to expect Real Madrid to win the Champions League title given their experience and finals record, but it's not at all a good idea to say Dortmund don't have a chance. Even the bookies cannot completely write off the odds for Dortmund to win the match, which means there are odds being considered for their victory.

I'm not thinking about selling it anytime soon, especially in May. But that doesn't mean selling in May is bad for some short-term investors. I see May as a positive month for bitcoin rather than a negative one, so I'm not saying selling in May is bad (if one wants to do so). There are still many opportunities to buy in the following month, especially below the selling price in May, but investment decisions and plans should not change just because of another user's point of view even though they can see the price history in the table above.

There is fear and there is also greed, they must really be able to maintain their long-term investment plans well. Personally, I tend to hold on and hold longer for this year until the middle of next year, meaning I don't want to sell.

The most appropriate time to invest in Bitcoin is when you already have cold money that is not used for other needs and are mentally, emotionally and patiently prepared when the market experiences a correction. For beginner traders or investors, they need to study guidelines for investing in Bitcoin to avoid mistakes that result in financial risks for assets, but for investors who already know Bitcoin closely, what they need is their own readiness and financial support to carry out their plans. Bitcoin is digital gold, the more you save, the greater your potential for making large profits.
Every day is the best time to invest in bitcoin, but you still have to do analysis to find out when is the best time to buy. Investing at any price can still be done if you want to be a long-term holder, but there is no harm in maximizing your investment strategy with DCA so that your average purchase price is lower.

Investment strategies can vary, but the bottom line is that you can buy at any price every day. The problem that most investors have is a limited budget which makes their steps a little hampered when one day they experience a decline due to price volatility.
36  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is going to happen with Bitcoin now? on: May 13, 2024, 08:09:55 PM
There is no logical reason to worry too much about recent Bitcoin price changes. Because if the Bitcoin price increases slightly, there may be a slight correction. Even if it goes below $60k, it is not a big problem. Moreover, it is not possible to predict that the price of Bitcoin will increase after the halving. But if you look at the events after the previous halving, it will be seen that the price of Bitcoin has increased after a long time. For the time being, the price of Bitcoin will remain between $60k to $70k for a long time and we may see its price rise from the last quarter of this year. Since Bitcoin is the most volatile currency, the price of Bitcoin can rise up or down more than expected level from time to time. In this case, the decision should be taken after careful observation before investment.
I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, but a mindset like yours is only very suitable for long-term investors. Of course, they are long-term holders who have essentially ignored short-term price volatility. Meanwhile, if you are a trader, price volatility will have an influence on the trading plan itself.

Short-term price volatility should not have a significant impact on the holder's long-term plans. In fact, I believe that holders are very likely to accumulate when the price drop a few percent at a time, which will clearly give them the opportunity to own more bitcoin before the price rises high. Halving can certainly help increase demand for bitcoin indirectly, but this takes a lot of time.

What we expected from Manchester United from the start is no longer there and with the existing player options they will definitely lose against Arsenal. But this defeat was not an embarrassing one like the one that happened last week when Crystal Palace beat the Red Devils by 4 goals.

At least this narrow defeat to Arsenal is still better, but on the other hand, Manchester United will sink further if they continue not to produce points. This season has not been good for Manchester United and I don't know what they are planning for next season and if they are still with the same squad then it is possible that the results will not be much different. I think everything must change and improve this proud Manchester team which is full of history.
There are many main players on Manchester United's injury list, especially in the last few matches. This has made their performance very unstable, it is even very difficult to expect Manchester United to win the match. Manchester United's defeat in 2 of the last 3 matches makes sense, but however this team could actually do better even without some of its main players.

I saw Alejandro Garnacho today trying hard to score, but his great ambition to do so resulted in several missed opportunities. There are times when Alejandro Garnacho looks very selfish when he has the ball at his feet, he should be able to pass to his partner who is in a more advantageous position. I like Alejandro Garnacho's style of play, but anyone who looks selfish isn't very good because seems to only care about himself rather than the interests of the team.

I think if Dortmund can score first of course it will make their motivation even higher, but it looks like it will be difficult for Dortmund to do it because usually Madrid plays quite well at the start of the match, but I think maybe Dortmund will be able to do it even though it might be difficult, this season Dortmund is playing quite badly in the Bundesliga but it looks like they will continue to try to win the only trophy they can currently achieve in champions league, when Madrid conceded we could see how Madrid mentality rose to catch up with them, but in the semifinal match yesterday munich made a mistake, which survived after winning 1 goal and make was the beginning of Munich destruction at that time.

 I personally hope that if Dortmund in the final will be able to score first, it is very important for Dortmund not to make mistakes like Munich did by choosing to play defensively, because winning 1 goal against Madrid of course it will be very dangerous if they defend because as you said if Madrid If they concede, their anger will peak, so it is better for Dortmund to continue to attack and apply pressure which could disrupt Madrid concentration in the match, even though it is unlikely to happen, I personally hope that Dortmund will be able to win the Champions League this season.
Dortmund's victory over PSG in the semifinals meant that their strategy worked perfectly in both away and home matches. Dortmund tends to defend and take advantage of counter attacks, I think the same scenario will be played by Edin Terzić in the final match against Real Madrid. Edin Terzić cannot change his style of play and strategy in the final because so far this strategy has made Dortmund successful. He may need to increase the team's motivation and also maximize his players' finishing when there are opportunities to score goals.

I admit that Real Madrid is a team that can put pressure on you and your defense well from all angles, that is the skill of players who have individual skills like Vinicius and Rodrygo. Vini and Rodrygo are two very dangerous Brazilian strikers, while Real Madrid's attacking midfielders are just as dangerous as the center forward. Real Madrid can win the match easily if they score 2 goals in the first half, while if Dortmund scores first then Real Madrid will try to make a comeback like when they beat Bayern Munich.

Arsenal was lucky today, Manchester United was the better side in the match but disappointingly they lost. If United had a managed to score the first goal, the result would have been different. It’s not easy to fight to the end, I have to give Arsenal that but Manchester City are going to win the league.
Manchester City can win the title only if they win two consecutive games in the remaining season. The match against Tottenham is very tough and difficult for them, but Manchester City can be the favorite to win considering they really don't want to let Arsenal win the title this season.

The best thing this season is that Arsenal can compete until the end of the season with Manchester City. Arsenal increased its chances of winning the title after beating Manchester United 0-1 today at Old Trafford, but Arsenal's chances of winning the title depend heavily on Manchester City in the next two games. I know it is difficult for Arsenal to hope to win the title, but they can hope that Tottenham thwarts Manchester City's consistency in the next match.

Arsenal must win against Manchester United if they want to have a chance of winning the title. If they play draw and City win, then City are Champions and it doesnt matter what happens on the last matchday because they have 4 points ahead. So the next game is tomorrow, arsenal must risk everything. The odds for Manchester United to win is x7.5, which is very high. If United want to play international next season, they need 2 more wins and with luck they will finish 6th in the league. I think a lot of fans in England will want to watch Manchester United vs Arsenal tomorrow, it is the only game on the day, a highlight.
Arsenal will of course try as hard as possible to maintain their chances of winning the title by winning the match against Manchester United. But most likely, the expected victory is not as easy as we say. Manchester United could be the biggest obstacle for Arsenal to suppress Manchester City, that means Manchester United could destroy Arsenal's plans by drawing or beating them.

Manchester City will be very happy if Arsenal loses or draws, that means Manchester City's steps to securing the Premier League title this season will be easier. But I think Arsenal will win this match with all the abilities they have, this will be the most awaited match this week.

~Snip
I don't think Manchester United could stand against gunners and the best they can do is to get a point from them so they will allow Manchester City to play more comfortably.
Meanwhile, Manchester City are advancing good and scoring many goals. Today, Manchester City knocked Fulham with 4 goals to nothing which is excellent and promising. If they could continue like that they will win the title this season too.
I don't doubt Manchester City, while I doubt Arsenal. The deciding match will be very tense and it will be worth looking forward to. Draws and losses will clearly be detrimental to Arsenal, in fact it will destroy Arsenal's hopes of winning the title this season.
