Yes, maybe that could happen because Al Nassr needs defenders to keep their defense stronger next season, for the attack line I don't think there will be any changes because currently Al Nassr has a very good front line and is almost the same as Al Hilal in terms of productivity their goals are even currently one of the Al Nassr players is the top scorer in the Saudi League so there is no doubt that Al Nassr's front line is part of it and they only need to spend money to recruit the players the coach needs, we don't know when Ronaldo's retirement will be for the season. In the future, Ronaldo will be 40 years old and that is the right age to retire, but if his performance is still good, why retire? he can further enrich himself before enjoying his hard work in old age.

I am sure that if Al Nassr has made changes next season they will compete fiercely in the hunt for the Saudi League title. Al Hilal will play competitively like this season but Al Nassr will take revenge this season which has been beaten many times by Al Hilal, to be honest I want to see Ronaldo won the title for the last time and he could only decide to retire with a feeling of pride.
I think this Summer will be seeing Al-Nassr doing some great signings especially as they would want to be chasing the league title. This will be the club’s min target next season as they have in mind that Ronaldo’s performance could decline a little next season. So they will want to get the best from him by at lest winning the league which will be him conquering all clubs he’s played for.

 He’s so crucial and have much to offer to the club, so I think the club having this in mind will do all to at least win the trophy. Age isn’t on his side anymore though he has good fitness and he has a very great lassion for football so there are speculations he could still be available next season. I think majorly what the club needs is to empower their defense and rebuild on it while doing great adjustments to the midfield, I think this wil be pretty enough to make them be able to contest for the league title.

Well I think the club has the finance so they will be able to fight for some great signings. I as a fan of Ronaldo will love to see him lift the league which will be a great addition for him and a great feat attained. He has a lot to offer and I think this should be the club’s driving factor to making some signings to help the club attain victory.

I don’t see any Karma hitting anybody as far as I am concerned. The team having a difficult time getting results which we all is mostly associated to the hierarchy lack of buying quality players and also mostly injuries to frat team players. Ten Hag might be hated for his role in the event that got Ronaldo out of Manchester United but he wasn’t the person that pulled the plug, the club did after he made a retrograding statement about the club, even it was true the media to air his views were not the right one.

His issue with Ten Hag was to me a thing that both had their fair share of the blame to. Ronaldo wanted to dictate everything at the club and Ten Hag wanted the control of the team which is the first for a successful manager. The issue to me started when Jorge Mendez was busy offering Ronaldo out to champions league clubs which was a direct insult to the club and the manager because he could have just handed in a transfer request instead. He missed pre season and blamed it on the death of the his Daughter which could have also been communicated to the manager or the club. Ten Hag build a team during this preseason and didn’t want to go against it and then had to drop Ronaldo to the bench which he didn’t want. No manager will want to lose a dressing to any place even if you’re the greatest player in the world. sir Alex actually aced the likes of Van Nistroy and Beckham when they felt untouchable and there was nothing like Karma to me and same thing is happening to him. So there is no karma like you insinuate buh how faith wanted it
Well in football in as much ss there are different opinions or talks on a situation, there’s still some iota of truth in most situations. The one of Ronaldo and ETH at Man United was one that spoke bad about the style of ETH, yes it further went on to show with his relationship with Sancho. ⁠Ronaldo left Man United to Al-Nassr and you can see him flourishing so great in that club despite everything ETH said about Ronaldo not being up to the task.

 I think the way Ronaldo was treated at Man United in a way affected the club’s performance negatively to an extent because most players in there loved Ronaldo and after such treatment, I think they lost faith already. ⁠of course the team has some great players and they even made some great additions and them not performing up to par is quite worrisome. Yes you might blame it on injury but that’s no excuse for failure at all as you ought to make do with that you have and dish out great performance.

 Just look at how they olayed against Arsenal towards the final match, that showed this team even with injury can give a great display. Well I think there’s still a big room for improvement especially in the new season because this Man United team need to get back that feared character we all know. I think they need to regroup and readdress the situation at the club because they still can offer a lot on the pitch for the joy of the fans.

It suddenly feels like tomorrow is the day to decide where the final match will take place, we will see where the two strongest team in this competition compete to beat each other and bring home the trophy for the 2023/24 European League title.
I sure that Atalanta and Leverkusen have prepared everything carefully and of course they can show truly competitive game in this decisive match, seeing how Leverkusen is playing at the end of this season they are getting stronger.
Leverkusen has big opportunity to win the title this season, they are favorites and they are team with much more significant advantage when compared to Atalanta, they are team that is really very compact and can always overcome every opponent move.

If look at their previous match records in the Europa League, Atalanta was far superior and managed to get rid of Leverkusen, but now everything has changed and Leverkusen is much stronger than the previous season.
Atalanta have been an improving side overtime. They've had some rough edges but their performance in the league is still seen. Even though they may not be top trophy contenders, they're trying to stay in the domestic league instead of relegating. They'll be playing against Leverkusen in the final phase of the UEL and goodnews is they've been able to gather enough confidence and momentum for the game which still puts them in and advantageous spot of finishing with a tangible result regardless.

 For the Leverkusen team generally, both players and the managerial board have done well in implementing quality style of play on the pitch and this makes for the profound confidence they've built in the football world on them being capable of lifting the UEL trophy alongside the already lifted Bundesliga title. The final game of the UEL will be heated up and no team should be underrated as anything can happen. The best of the two teams would definitely win.

 Of both contesting teams, Atalanta has more to fight for based on their most recent cup loss, and Leverkusen are trailing for their 3rd title. Yes both teams have a history record to make and that's another reason why the game would be crucial to them. It'll definitely have goals in coming or maybe hold down to a draw unto the extra time and possibly penalty kick outs too.

Indeed the last result is not really important but Bologna had opportunity in this season finish on higher standings place than Juventus although both teams have been qualified to UEFA Champion League for next season.
Thiago Motta success make more promising performed for Bologna in this season and become the first time for team appearance will participants in Champion League, indeed he was young manager but success make Bologna performed well in this season after success breaking out the top fourth standings place.

Most young head coach currently impressive well with their team, not only Thiago Motta but also Daniele De Rossi success make AS Roma reached the top sixth standings position behind failed qualify to Champion League but for the first season its was success helped Roma from bottom standings to Europe League spot place. Interested to see who will be the most youth head coach become success next season and possibility Bologna under Thiago Motta will playing well in first appearance Champion League and consistency in domestic league?
In the match where both Bologna and Juventus have already secured their places in the UEFA Champions League, the result might not be so necessary  in terms of qualifying for the tournament next season. However, it gives an opportunity to appreciate the progress of teams like Bologna under the guidance of you young coaches like Thiago Motta. Motta's influence after taking over the coaching in 2022 has been evident in the team's performance, as they've managed to compete with and even outshine greater opponents like Juventus.

 The emergence of young coaches such as Motta, Arteta, Xabi Alonso, and Edin Terzic shows a trend in football where new and creative perspectives are valued. Despite their ages, these coaches have demonstrated their tactical and managerial skills, leading their teams to notable successes. Their presence adds fun to European football, producing new energy and competitiveness into the sport.

 Looking ahead, with the growing number of talented young coaches and the potential rise of managers like De Rossi, the world of coaching is set for better growth. Their impacts so far promises to make future seasons of European football even more captivating, as teams continue to excel under the guidance of these skilful managers.

This is bad news for Real Madrid fans most especially the team players, the team will miss Toni Kroos, Kroos will always be remembered as one of the greatest midfielders of all time and also one of the legends in Real Madrid, the reason why many people will feel bad about his retirement is that he’s performing well and people are expecting him to be in Real Madrid to be leading the team the way he and Modric did, Toni Kroos has made a great decision and I think he did that for a reason and also as a player you have to get to a limit where you can think that you have to stop playing football and start another life.

Real Madrid will never forget Kroos and Kroos will never forget Real Madrid because when he was not valued by Bayern Munich Real Madrid took him and paid him the amount he wanted, I don’t know for some people but since I started watching football I always see Kroos as a midfield player that there’s no player like him, in terms of passing, touches. Toni Kroos always has a good season because the kind of his performance is always different, the kind of player like Kroos is the one who becomes a good manager in the end and very soon we will see Kroos as a coach if he retires.
Real Madrid's midfield was and still is very much solid, they've got good hands in charge, the likes of Luka, Bellingham, Kroos and others. Luka and Kroos have been older in the team and they've mastered all the tactics and techniques of Ancelloti. They're more or less the leaders and they're coordinating other bodies well. They're literally a good example too. They've been able to be the support the young players need to push and forge further.

 This makes it sad that Kroos would be exiting the team. He's been an immense support to the team's major successes. Of all times with the team, regardless of the situation, he's always had a way to pull out a string from the toughness to be in a more comfortable form for the squad. He's had beautiful moves made, good encounters, assists and goals with the team. We can't exhaust all his right deeds for the Spanish side even if we wish to list them on and on. He's a special part of the team too.

 The squad has been groomed to adapt to core changes and absences too. Yes, his exit will be felt but definitely there's always a young player ready to take in the mantle. He's passed on to the younger midfields good abilities and techniques and for me that's actually what the team needs to keep going. He also would miss the team due to lots and lots of feat he's attained with them but the journey for exploration still continues to give room for rising stars. Good luck to him too.

This season in the Bundesliga is running fiercely, and Bayer Munchen have not been able to feel like they are champions this season, where as we know Munich almost always wins the Bundesliga, but this time they finished in 3rd place, due to their failure this season Harry Kane who wanted to join With Munich failing to quench its thirst for another trophy, it's a shame that Harry Kane is a player who is good at scoring goals, he is one of the best strikers at the moment, but it's a shame that Harry Kane has not been able to win a championship trophy with the team he plays for.

Currently Munich management is busy looking for a good coach so they can bring Munich back to being Bundesliga champions next season, so many coaches are currently being linked with the big German club, but they are looking for the best one who can win again next season and Harry Kane can feel it. , if you look at the current development of Bayer Munchen's situation, they are not satisfied with some of their players, they want new players next season to be able to strengthen in all areas, with this there is a big chance that Harry Kane will pave the way to the trophy.
Bayern Munich weren't at their best this season amd surprisingly when they signed Harry Kane, so many thought they’ll be really clear off the league but the reverse happens to be the case. Bayern Munich haven’t been impressive in their performance this season and it’s one thing that the new coach needs to worry about on the perfect tactics for this set of players.

 Kane's addition to the German side ought to have been fruitful. He's been a major in their positive game outcomes, even though they strived to get past their competitor on the table. Kane has been impactful though and his contract is still open till 2027 with Munich which gives him ample time to do more with the team. He's been consistent in his job as the striker and he's not stopping at just letting goal chances slip by him. He's quality and his ability speedily increases weekly.

 Munich were not encouraging and it's quite appaling that they remain depreciated week after week. Sadly though, Tuchel's stay in the club is seemingly threatened, his days are actually numbered and it's understandable that the management would want a switch for the coach position as they expected him to be better considering how much effort his put in recent times and even with flaws, they need not to keep overlooking it as it's unending.

PSG is very rich team, they will be very capable of bringing in great players at very expensive prices, in fact there is no player they cannot get as long as the players are willing to accept the offer and play well for PSG.
But basically, looking at what PSG has played in every competition so far, nothing can really be achieved surprisingly, the only thing they have been able to master is Ligue 1 and also the French Cup.
Moreover, several great players were willing to accept PSG offer not to get some important title but only for the large amount of money that PSG gave them.

We see whether PSG will really achieve big achievement in the future or not, but if their condition is still the same as before then everything they do will only be in vain.
PSG is one very big club with huge finances, Kylian Mbappé wanting to leave the club at the end of the season seems to be very challenging but I think that’s not much of a worry for PSG. Kylian was one very key player in the club, at this point you’ll already imagine how PSG will be out to watch for a key player to replace Kylian.

 At this point, I don’t think getting a key player as Kylian will be the way out, rather they should try to get a team player, one who will want to develop with the squad and play with them. Football is a sport that has about 10 players and a goal keeper instead of wanting to rely on just one player. ⁠PSG have won the domestic title, and it wasn’t attributed to one player rather it was attributed to the team which shows that it’s a team success. So I think them getting a team player is very key in the team’s success.

 Even for Kylian he didn’t just come to limelight on his own, he was helped by his teammates, so you can say that team work is what is key for success in every team. The club has the power to attract any player they want and I think they will sure pull up a great deal but what I feel is they should get is a team player rather than a selfish big player. This will help psg still continue competing at the top and it will be one great achievement to see them still be able to win the league.

Do you actually mean every word in this your statement? Since the take over of Chelsea ownership by Boehly, which young players have they sold with a higher price? In fact, after his takeover Chelsea has been spending huge amount of money on average players that have not impacted progress to the team yet and if they decide to sell them, they will definitely worth lesser than what was used to buy them apart from Palmer.

I do agree with you that parting ways with Pottechino at this time is totally wrong. I personally couldn't believe the news at first because their decision to fire the couch despite securing slot in European competition is very shocking to me. To be candid, this move is a great setback to the team and as a matter of fact the club will start from a scratch with a new couch and his pattern of play. To be fair, Pottechino tried his best to bring the team together after they had struggled to be consistent and I also think he deserves more time at Chelsea but it's the management decision and they have reason for their actions.

Wishing them both Goodluck is much better than saying their offer should be rejected by any couch they approached. Let respect their decisions for the sake of our love for the game.
The strategy this mew owners are using is quite worrisome and it’s causing an uproar already in the fanbase of the club. Yes because these strategies can’t get the club anywhere rather it makes the club remain a laughing stock in the league.Why sign young players all in the name of recruiting talents for crazy fee and at the end they’re not producing up to the amount you signed them for. Instead of prioritizing building a balanced squad, they keep on prioritizing getting talents and at the end of the day those talents just run round the field without getting the goals and it’s now worrisome for the club.

 The sack of Pochettino is another big error that this new board has carried out. ⁠He just helped the team secure European football and not just that, he’s finally brought balance to the team, yet you let him go, why?? Will the fans be patient for the new coach to now blend his own philosophy into the team again?? This of course will halt the progress of this squad we’ve seen in the last 5 games.

 ⁠The board would have given him more time at least one more season before putting the axe on his job, now the news of who they want to hire, none of them come close to the standard of the club. I don’t think the fans will be taking any of this especially if the new coach comes and fail again, the board should understand they’re in for a long one with the fans.

What makes him great is because of his experience and being supported by quality players in his team so that he always surprises them when they reach the final.
It's different from Pep Guardiola because he built a team with minimal quality players and both have different levels of greatness. For me, these two coaches have their own strengths and perhaps tactically Pep Guardiola is far superior to Ancelotti.

Real Madrid are very favored in the final match, but they cannot assume that Dortmund is weak, because if they do that, Dortmund could provide an unexpected surprise.
Ancelotti has been one very great coach right from his days back at Chelsea till coming to Madrid, going to Everton and back to Real Madrid, you’re sure that he’s always improving the shape of the team. He’s so sound tactically and I think comparing him to Pep is so tight because they have similar style of play. ⁠Ancelotti at Real Madrid has been real fierce and I think taking them to another final must be applauded because he’s also improved the way they play football there and must be commended.

 He’s sound tactically and that has been one of his greatest strength in his run with Real Madrid. ⁠Also it’s no doubt that he’s able to manage players relationship and as such making them want to give their all him because he’s improved and has shaped them up. For the match against Dortmund, you can be so sure that Real Madrid will be getting the victory because they’re well placed as they have the experience and also you can rely solely on the midfield of Real Madrid which have the likes of Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Bellingham.

 This midfield is one killer one talk more of the attack of two Brazilians, Vini and Rodrygo. Sincerely, I think Ancelotti deserves all the praises and he should still be kept for at least some season more. Dortmund in that final sincerely stands no chance and I just wish them luck against this Real Madrid fierce side.

Yes, that true and having Ronaldo really changes everything, except when Ronaldo is also absent, as happened some time ago when Ronaldo had to serve suspension for receiving red card and on the other hand, Talisca was also absent, this clearly makes Mane overwhelmed when he has to fight without the two of them core players.

Of course Ronaldo and Talisca can have better collaboration than Mane because these two players have really been able to adapt their respective playing skills to work together, this is what is quite difficult, being able to understand what must be done in collaboration between players.
So far the game on the front line of Al Nassr has been very impressive, the only team that is really difficult for them to beat is Al Hilal and so far there have been many defeats when they met Al Hilal.
I want to be able to see Al Nassr able to play well and really optimize the defense line, their front line is very good but in defense it is still very often easy to be penetrated by the opponent play.
When Al-Nassr have been able to build a fierce team especially since the addition of Ronaldo into the squad, of course you would know that their play will be great. When he came in last season, be worked in partnership with Talisca and I think this two had already blended so well with their playing style. ⁠Now at Summer, they added Mane to the squad and of course one will think they will get more fierce but you can’t overlook the fact thAt Ronaldo had some red cards and he had to serve punishment.

 Talisca on the other end was out on most occasions with injury and you wonder who Mane will partner with. This most time made them less of a force in the attack especially with the absence of Ronaldo and Talisca. You can check out when the 2 of them are on the pitch together, how the play together shows how much they have been able to bond together.

 ⁠Meanwhile you can see they have improved greatly in the attack though Al-Hilal still remains one big obstacle for them but I think they can be able to change all of that. They just need to reinforce their defense and reduce the red cards from Ronaldo and they will be one formidable team to watch in the SPL.

Yes Very often it happens that a weak team suddenly plays in the UCL league and when they play in the UCL there is no significant resistance, instead it becomes a source of goals for strong teams and the most fatal thing is that they become less consistent in the league and even their performance decreases. Like the example you gave of the Lens team, this could also happen with Brest if they don't buy players and strengthen the squad for next season because of course with Brest's entry into the UCL league their schedule will become even busier so it will affect the players' fitness which makes them unable to maintain their performance.

I admit that Brest has really improved this season. They are quite big now and in the near future, they will be playing among the big players in Europe. Next season's UCL League will not only mark the start of a new era, as we see 36 teams in the league stage, rather than the group stage with 32 teams. We'll also see the arrival of new arrivals, notably Brest, Girona and Bologna, as well as the return of 1982 champions Aston Villa and Stuttgart, whose last appearance in the Champions League was in 2010.
Of course the smaller teams when they have presence in Europe, it’s most time challenging for them as they ought to go through that and also their domestic league. Going through these might be one hectic one amd as such, you see them fumbling in the group stage of the competition. ⁠Well there’s sure a way to Avoid this kind of situation and I’ll take a run down.

 One of the best way is to build squad depth. Doing this will help the club and coach be able to do needed rotations as such resting the players in most matches and not overworking them beyond their normal stretch. ⁠I think participating in European competition also brings in more finance, so it will be best to be able to balance the budget, so as not to overspend and get caught with FFP or short spend and lose out on all competitions.

 I really want the small teams coming to Europe to make a name and there’s no way than them building a strong squad and maintaining consistency especially in domestic performance. Yes, it’s a great thing to qualify for the UCL but with it’s new format of 36 teams, you don’t know what to expect so as such the smaller teams shouldn’t fail on club and squad building.

Manchester City is indeed a strong club in the Premier League and no one can deny that and we also need to realize that this is true, they have played the game with passion and have not given up even if they are judged in the last 4 seasons Manchester City has played consistent even though they have to divide their focus not only in the Premier League but also in other major competitions and try to win titles in all competitions but the Premier League cannot be separated from Manchester City's priorities. The proof is that last season Manchester City was also able to win the Champions League title and also the title League English.

Arsenal and Liverpool must try hard next season to appear as consistent as Manchester City and not waste opportunities this season. Both clubs failed to break Manchester City's dominance because Manchester City's performance was more consistent than them. So for next season, hopefully Arsenal or other clubs can be better. consistent and breaking Manchester City's record. I believe the Premier League is a competitive league. Every club has quite good finances because the Premier League is a rich league and they can improve their respective performance by buying players.
Well the EPL season has finally come to an end and we have Manchester City crowned champions of the league for the 6th time in 7 years and for the 4th consecutive time. That’s such a massive record that could majorly be credited to how consistent they have been. ⁠This Man City side though were in. A tight contest with Arsenal and Liverpool but were able to come out on top and get the crown which is the title.

 Once again you must commend Pep for his great tactics and also the players for their huge fighting spirit because without that, I think they will be struggling. ⁠For Arsenal and Liverpool, you can point out some similar errors they made that cost them the title. One major one is consistency; in a race with a team as fierce as Man City, one has to be very consistent and make sure you get all 3 points because in the long run, they will be very useful.

 Mentality and Tactical approach to game is one thing that they failed to have and it was one that cost them too. ⁠Well the season has ended and  I wish these teams will look at their season from this angle, at least that will help them to prepare and come back better than they were. I would love to see Arsenal in the chase again, who knows they might get crowned this time.

Just like i said before Pochettino has found good method and good strategies for Chelsea and it proven from Chelsea recent performance that they can got several winning streak and Chelsea even can able to finish at 6th place at the end of this season and playing at the final match of Carabao Cup obviously this achievement is much better if we compared to last season performance even the fans likes what Pochettino done at this team because for next season they have a potention to compete for top 4 place so the fans is fully support for Pochettino and they want Pochettino to continue his works
Indeed at the beginning of season Chelsea was targetting top 4 position to Pochettino and i have to says Pochettino was failed to reach the owner target and i am not a Chelsea fans but i think Chelsea owner should be give him more chances because i am sure Chelsea will be able to performing better again next season under him
In as much as there’s no validation to the say that the Americans majorly use Soccer for business and don’t have any passion for it. You can say that the situation at Chelsea is making that point valid because I see mo sense in wanting to sell the academy players of the club all because of financial gain. ⁠The club’s tradition has always been to groom the academy so that they can help out when the main team lacks players probably due to injury and also so that they can be inducted early into the league.

 I feel they should re think on this move because it’s quite worrisome and I believe the fans aren’t appreciating that move. Meanwhile you can give Poch some accolades from the improvement he’s done in the team like bringing them from below midtable to securing an European spot is one that deserves some accolades.
 
 Yes the board should give him more time as it seems his new system is working and who knoww next seaosn they could be in top 4 or probably win the UEL. ⁠I think the team just needs to get a very good striker because all other positions of the team, I’m confident on the players. They should get a prolific striker and watch this team become a title challenger.
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 21, 2024, 01:45:02 PM
Yes, that's right, at least by looking at these statistics we can analyze the match well and don't be careless if you want to place a bet, Real Madrid always has the best players even though the composition of their players is not always the same every season and there is always something different when Real Madrid loses a player. Real Madrid will recruit new players who of course have good statistics and strong performance, even though Real Madrid no longer have Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo in their squad. At least they still perform well and the players' mentality has also been well honed by Real Madrid coach Carlo Anceloti knows what has to be done and has built the players' motivation and enthusiasm to win.

Real Madrid and Dortmund will definitely try as hard as possible to show their best performance in the final and will fight quite fiercely but Real Madrid's chances of winning are greater so I am more confident that Real Madrid will win the Champions League title later. Dortmund will be second place like Inter Milan last season then because he didn't go through difficult matches to reach the final, the strength of Bundesliga and La Liga clubs is different and La Liga is more competitive than the Bundesliga.
Predicting on a match isn’t always an easy task as you’ll have to check on past matches between the two clubs, you also check on the current form of the team, check on some things like the players in both teams and their performances of recent. After doing this, I think you can be so sure of which team will be having the better chance in the match. ⁠I think going by this analysis for the UCL Final match, then you will be able to understand why Real Madrid have higher chance of winning the league as compared to Dortmund.

 Going by past records, Real Madrid have won the title more times than any other club across Europe and I think that already is a big confidence for the team going into this match.The times real madrid got eliminated in the KNock out stages, you’ll see one thing as the problem, the minute they lost concentration, the game went out of their hand. I think this is what they should take as key while they head into this match as this Dortmund attack seems very composed and can hit when given a clear chance.
 
 The match will be one exciting one with both teams showing a wonderful display of their various football. But when you check the experience, team form and players form, Real Madrid have the better chance not overlooking the way Dortmund went all through to this stage. Real Madrid experience amd Ancelotti tactics will help them win the trophy for the 15th time.

Since the beginning of the game, Bologna has continued to put pressure on Juventus' defense, it didn't even take long for Bologna to grab a 3-0 lead before Juventus rose and could equalize the score to 3-3, at the beginning of this season Juventus performance was actually quite good and consistent as Intermilan's competitor at the top of the standings, but somehow they bis slumped so that to maintain second place became very difficult for Juventus,  But fortunately Juventus are now safe enough to qualify for the Champions League so it at least gives hope to the fans to see Juventus better next season, now the season is almost over and I think a big of hope for the fans to see Juventus get better next season after Allegri sacking.

In the last match, Juventus still use the style of play that has been applied by Allegri so there is indeed no significant difference after Paulo Montero took over the team from Allegri some time ago, but even so I think it is a natural thing because indeed Juventus only have two more games before the season ends and Paulo Montero certainly does not want to complicate his work which is only temporary,  Next season we don't know yet who will replace Allegri, but I think next season we will see the era of Juventus revival will begin after the Allegri era ends this season.
Bologna's early dominance and Juventus' subsequent comeback highlight the unpredictability and excitement of football. Despite Juventus' ability to recover from a three-goal ahead of them, their inconsistent performance throughout the season raises concerns about their overall form. While initially strong, Juventus' decline in performance under Allegri's management states the need for a fresh approach to regain their competitive edge.

 The transition from Allegri to Montero as interim coach hasn't brought about significant changes in Juventus' style of play, which is understandable due to the limited time Montero has had to implement his own tactics. However, this continuity in performance rate may also indicate a lack of innovation, suggesting that Juventus may need more than just a managerial change to fix their challenges. With only two games left in the season, Montero's focus may be on maintaining stability rather than initiating changes.

 Looking ahead, Juventus' fans are hopeful for a revival in the next season following Allegri's departure. The anticipation of a new season brings optimism and expectations for a better team, potentially under new leadership. While there are uncertainties about Allegri's successor and the direction of the club, the end of this season marks a turning point and an opportunity for Juventus to find themselves and their identity and reclaim their stand as title contenders.

I regret watching the Fenerbahçe-Galatasaray match instead of the Real Madrid game. I watched the highlights of the match; it was truly enjoyable. As you pointed out, Alexander Sörloth delivered an outstanding performance by scoring 4 goals. Alexander Sörloth, who was the top scorer in the Turkish Super League 4 years ago, is now the top scorer in La Liga. Additionally, Arda Güler netted 2 goals.
The Fenerbahçe-Galatasaray match really met the expectation of a tense and fierce encounter. Djiku's dismissal undoubtedly changed the whole approach of the game, leaving Fenerbahçe at a disadvantage for a greater part of the match. Despite playing with 10 men for 70 minutes, Fenerbahçe showed resilience and determination, fully securing a crucial victory and keeping their hopes alive until the final weeks of the season. This match showcased the unpredictable nature of football, where even under pressing circumstances, teams can rise to the occasion and deliver good performances.
 
 Meanwhile, the Real Madrid match against Villarreal showed a spectacle of football brilliance, big thanks to Alexander Sörloth's exceptional display. Sörloth's four-goal not only earned Villarreal a point but also showed his abilities as a striker. Having previously played for Trabzonspor in the Turkish Super League, Sörloth's move to La Liga has been nothing but remarkable, as seen by his advancement to the league's top scorer. Additionally, contributions from players like Arda Güler added to the fun of the match, further pointing out the thrilling nature of high-level football.
 
 Reflecting on the choice between the two matches, it's understandable to feel regretful for missing out on Sörloth's unforgettable performance firsthand. Watching the highlights may have shown a little into the excitement and drama of the Real Madrid match, but experiencing it live would have undoubtedly increased the anxiousness felt and associated with such an impactful display of skill. However, both matches serve as reminders of the beauty and unpredictability of football, where every game has the potential to deliver moments of top notch brilliance and excitement for fans around the world.

Things like these are not new in European leagues with we have many teams which were fighting for the top spots and then suddenly ended in relegation zone even many are still trying to survive for the spot in their respective leagues in last 2 decades I personally watch many ups and downs for the many clubs with now we are having Vitesse which is punished rightly as things like these are also impotent if you want to keep play with the rule of Fair Play most chances now they will be not able to have themselves back into league in next few years which could be huge setback for them.

Dutch League is now improving their quality which is good thing, and they need to be at this level with having consistency has never been easy but still important as they could be increase their numbers in UEFA.
Vitesse have not had a very good run of form and you can say so from the way they still remain in the relegation zone as they haven’t been able to get enough points to help them off that zone. Now they have been hit with points deduction and you can only begin to imagine what their hope will now look like in the run to come off relegation. Well as it stands, they’re real hopeless and it’s evidently clear they won’t be remaining in the main leagues next season.

 Now you begin to wonder what all happened in this run that led to this poor form because this wasn’t the team we knew some season back that was challenging for the top half of the league. Well most clubs especially across Europe are in this kind of situation, challenge the big boys for a while and after that you see them folding up and returning to relegation. So this situation of Vitesse is more like familiar in the football space and we aren’t surprised though.

 The punishment yes could have been severe but I feel it better serves as a reminder that it’s safer to stick to FFP rule. ⁠I think with this move we can tell how much the league body wants to improve the face of the league and now I wish the clubs too also improve their style of play. This will help them majorly when they get to UEFA competition to challenge the other clubs across Europe.

We know that Leverkusen are in very good form this season. The Leverkusen team is yet to lose a single match in any competition. Leverkusen qualified for the Europa League final after defeating West Ham and Roma.

However, the Atalanta team cannot be called weak. Qualified for the final by defeating the likes of Liverpool and Marseille. Winning against the likes of Marseille and Liverpool was no easy task. However, the Atalanta team won easily. So I don't think the Leverkusen team will easily win the final and become Europa League champions. Atalanta team is in good form now. Atalanta's players are also confident. So both have a chance to win.
Atalanta have been an improving side overtime. They've had some rough edges but their performance in the league is still seen. Even though they may not be top trophy contenders, they're trying to stay in the domestic league instead of relegating. They'll be playing against Leverkusen in the final phase of the UEL and goodnews is they've been able to gather enough confidence and momentum for the game which still puts them in and advantageous spot of finishing with a tangible result regardless.

 Atalanta sadly lost to Juventus in the Copa Italia finals which then leaves them to struggle solely for just the UEL trophy. Their opponent definitely won't take it lightly either. If yesterday's game had turned out in their favor, then maybe they'd have had a resounding confidence to face up Leverkusen but at this point in time, they're left to dedicate all resources available and necessary to fighting hard to earn the trophy.

 For the Leverkusen team generally, both players and the managerial board have done well in implementing quality style of play on the pitch and this makes for the profound confidence they've built in the football world on them being capable of lifting the UEL trophy alongside the already lifted Bundesliga title. The final game of the UEL will be heated up and no team should be underrated as anything can happen. The best of the two teams would definitely win.

Of course it is true as you said, Carlo Anceloti will not want to take a big risk in fielding his best players just because he is pursuing the ambition of winning because in fact Real Madrid has been declared victorious in La Liga and has already won the trophy so why is Real Madrid trying to win every game when they have was declared the winner and Carlo Anceloti also wouldn't have done that and taken a bigger risk because Real Madrid still had another important match competing in the Champions League final. If Anceloti fielded his best players in the La Liga match he would be afraid of injury because we don't know it's bad luck when it will happen so it's better to prevent it from happening.

Moreover, using Real Madrid's second player also continued to perform well in La Liga, it was proven that these players' attacks looked aggressive and created many opportunities at home to Villareal. Although in the end the Villareal players also counter-attacked which resulted in only achieving a draw, but even so, Real Madrid also quite satisfied with the draw, rather than having to suffer a defeat, at least one point can add to his points collection this season.
Real Madrid boys have always had a good game for the team even though more than much is been  expected from them but for a game in a every competition, they always did really good. This only resonates the sermons of how well built up Real Madrid squad is. The young players are definitely an extra advantage to the team's strength.

 Ancelloti has been able to bring up his boys into more fury and it's exactly what they need to stay strong. There's good coordination and the zeal is always up for them. It's very much good that the team has been able to stay strong up until now and they seem undaunted too. It'll be more beautiful to watch these present Madrid perform at their peak even up till next season, the players are gaining good level of experience and it's working out good on them.

 I believe there's still a whole lot more to expect from the Spanish side next season. It just seems to me like they've got a balanced squad that's fit to bring down any team that may try to feel like giants. The retainment and addition to their squad list ahead of the coming season speaks a whole lot of danger zone ahead. Ancelloti is really moulding up a fearless and dreadful team and it's amazing how he's so much confident in the ability of his boys to deliver no matter the goal line.

At least the victory was an encouraging result as Manchester United's closing match in the Premier League compared to Manchester United having to end the season with a defeat. Indeed the victory did not change anything and Manchester United finished in 8th place and did not take part in the UEFA competition for next season and this is a very result bad for a big club like Manchester United, even though last season they were able to finish in the Champions League zone and get a ticket there but this season he didn't get it again, but Erik Ten Hag is still retained by Manchester United even though if you look at the facts he is not a really suitable coach Manchester United and the club need to make changes not only to players for next season.

Manchester United must make changes to the club. I think keeping Erik Ten Hag is not a good idea. Maybe this coach was quite good in his first season but was unable to continue his good performance in his second season and now Manchester United is experiencing a pretty bad decline and is having difficulty getting Champions League tickets. and this season Manchester United's performance is quite bad in the Champions League so even if Manchester United plays in the Champions League if they are still under Ten Hag, I'm not sure this coach will be able to give their best.
For Manchester United, they finished the season still behind and really it's sad that they didn't have a slot at any continental face off. This season has been their worse, yes at first they seemed better than Chelsea though but currently, they're behind and it's shameful too. The team needs to be worked on. No one can even guess where the fault is though but maybe they just have to try again next season. Hopefully they'll make a difference.

 They've had good records from the beginning of their existence till 2seasons ago when they started experiencing gradual decline. Their coach switches has an effect on the team, they found it hard to secure a good coach that complements and will impact the team positively. And this has been on and on till this season when the situation got critical and United is literally nowhere to be found in the top 4 spot and they keep going behind in their struggle each passing week.

 So far, United haven't proven to be relevant this season. There's been important games that they themselves have thrown away because of how incompetent they're turned out to be at playing at the peak of their performances. Well, it's only sad that they experience this height of team leakage and breakage too. They just have to find a permanent solution to their issue. I must say that the issue is a general team predicament and they need to be set back to default mode.
