Liverpool don't have any motivation anymore and whatever the result of the match has no effect on their position and the opposite is true for Aston Villa because they need points to secure their 4th position to get a ticket to the Champions League next season.
In my opinion, this draw is enough for Aston Villa, even though they have shown a pretty good performance and deserve to win the match, but if we look at the points obtained in the current standings, I think Aston Villa is safe enough to finish in the top 4.

On the other hand, we can see Liverpool's continued poor performance, I think the Liverpool team has ended this season early, everything is over for them because there is no longer any possibility for them to achieve anything.
They’re safe already in 3rd place and I think they know win or lose they can’t get anything more than a 3rd place finish in the league and as such there will be a normal drop in the motivation to chase wins by the players. So as such I wasn’t expecting anything more than a draw from them in the match and as usual they played the draw. Well at least they have been able to win a title which is the Carabao Cup and I think they are already tired because their form towards the end of the season has been poor and they know there’s nothing more to chase for hence you can see how relaxed they play.
 
 Aston Villa were the ones who needed the draw more or a win and they fought so hard to get the draw as this gives them a comfortable spot in their chase for UCL football next season. You can see how happy the fans were and how energetic the players were that showed hunger and how much they needed a point in this match.
 
 Now they can be comfortable that whilst Tottenham will be playing Man City later tonight, they expect nothing less that a draw or loss for Tottenham so as to cement their hopes. When you check the fixture, you’ll know that that match is already a loss in waiting for Tottenham because Man City are seriously chasing the EPL title and wouldn’t want to be held back by a draw at the Spurs Stadium.
 
 ⁠I think these fixtures goes on to show how competitive the EPL is as in every match you see surprises and the results turns out to be of effect ot standings and hopes of the team around them both at the top and bottom. The matches are always exciting and the fans always anxious of what happens in the next minute and as such makes this league one of the very best across Europe.

Winning all 3 points at Man Utd's home field was a success for Arsenal. Although it was only a narrow score of 1-0, it was enough for Arsenal to continue to maintain hope of winning the championship from Mancity. Surely Arsenal fans will now cheer for Tottenham, hoping they can hold off Mancity in this midweek match. Aston Villa just had a draw against Liverpool, so this will be an opportunity for Tottenham to win 4th place in the final match if they surpass Mancity in this match.

Although the result of the compensation match between Mancity and Tottenham is very important for Arsenal. But the final round of this season will still be very dramatic as the gap between the two teams is still very tight before the final round despite the result of the Mancity vs Tottenham match. In addition, the battle for the final ticket to the Champion League between Aston Villa and Tottenham will only be decided in the final round if Tottenham can win against Mancity in the midweek match.

Liverpool's poor performance means they have been eliminated from the championship race, and this will be the first season in Premier League history that the championship race in the final round does not have the presence of both Liverpool and ManCity. If Mancity wins, they will become the first team in history to win four consecutive years.
Over the weekend, Arsenal were able to get a 1-0 win over Man United and though the goal wasn’t much as it could probably affect their goal difference margin but you can say the 3 points gotten was very important as it now takes them back to the top of the league. I think now they have been able to mount the pressure on Man City while they go and support their fellow London Club to be able to at least hold Man City to a draw. 

 ⁠Now the race for the title will be going to the last day and this is real fun because I can’t remember the last time I saw something like this, well I think if City gets the win today it puts them in better position. Well you can imagine how the Arsenal fans will be trooping out in their numbers maybe in their red colours or probably the white colour to support their fellow London club. ⁠I can’t wait to see what this match holds because when you even check Tottenham who are the deciding factors here, you begin to imagine their chance of even getting a draw in this game.

 For Me, City will be winning this match with a 2 goal margin and I know that would hurt Arsenal fans but that’s just the sad reality. Liverpool are out of the chase as they haven’t been able to keep up on their form and chase for the league like Arsenal and Man City. As for Arsenal, the fans should get ready for the heartbreak because I don’t think City will be letting this league slip past their fingers.

by being very professional, Enrique can make a difference to PSG and this is one of the hopes that PSG will have more trust and retain this coach so that he will be given the opportunity to contribute to bringing PSG to a higher level.
losing Mbappe is not the end of all this struggle because Enrique certainly knows what has to be done and of course he is already targeting players who will be recruited as Mbappe replacement.
PSG is not short of finances and this opportunity for Enrique to build a squad with young players will be more important than having to look for star players who do not guarantee prestigious titles.

PSG just has to apply consistency like popular teams from other leagues to be able to build a stronger team and Enrique has proven that PSG has great potential in the future and this proof is one of the things that management must understand to believe in and always try to improve their mentality and readiness to try to win the UCL title every season.
and for Mbappe, he has the right to go looking for a challenge in another big team to gain great career experience.
Enrique is one coach that will be cery important to this psg side and they shouldn’t be worried that Mbappe will be leaving if the coach will be able to continue without him. Well as it stands, Enrique is known to already be scouting players that will replace Kylian and from what you’ll see, he’s not checking for the big names rather the young ones who are willing to win trophies. This os what’s important in the building phase of PSG, getting young lads who are willing to win a thing or two and then that will be able to do the magic.

 Though Mbappe will be going for free and the club might not be benefiting from his departure, I think this doesn’t mean the club won’t be able to do much after his departure because they’re financially buoyant to do a whole lot after he’s left. So i think they cue in to Enrique’s philosophy and be able to build up from there as it will be able to help them in their Chase for European title. ⁠Enrique has been able to succeed with a young squad at Barca and with that in mind, you think he won’t be able to do well at PSG.

 I think they should let him get two or three signings to the club and trust me with a good and consistent performance then they should be cruising to European success in no time. ⁠Mbappe decision to leave is understandable and applaudable as he’s a footballer and needs to achieve greater heights and I think his new club will be ready to welcome him. This is a good time for PSG to rebuild again and even better and I think with Enrique in charge they will do great things.

The Saudi Pro League can recruit players from around the world like the European leagues do and not only recruit star players from the European League, but the Saudi League limits foreign players by still having local players so it is quite difficult for the Saudi League to recruit foreign players if it is their own league not as popular as the European leagues and they also continue to use local players so that the league's own players are able to develop well, not just relying on foreign players, currently the Saudi League can only recruit top class players who have a fairly high level of popularity, no matter how old they are. The most important thing for the Saudi league is just to increase the popularity of their league through top players.

And for next season, it looks like the Saudi League will again buy European players who have good performance, of course with high popularity. I think there are several European players who will leave the European League because their age makes it impossible to compete in the European League next season, including Lewandowski, Kevin. De Bruyne and Mohammed Salah, the three of them are always linked with the Saudi League. They also have quite good performance in the European league, although currently their performance is not as strong as before, but the Saudi League is quite ready to accommodate them.
I think the rule by the governing body on the number of European stars the clubs can aquire in each summer market is a big reflection on how badly they want to do well whilst they still play football. Yes because they want to aquire the big European players who in turn helps them attract the media and at same time also develop their local based players and this is a win win for them in the situation of growing their players and boosting league presence.

 This is a win win both for the league and also for the local players because with the high profiled European players joining in, it gives a room for the local players to interact. It doesn’t stop at interacting but also there will be more learning going on and as such improving their field of local players and building a strong National sqaud.

 ⁠Next season you might begin to wonder if they will be able to aquire high profile European players, well I can say there are a lot already on the radar such as the likes of Lewandowski, Mo Salah, KDB. With these players you can already imagine how the media will be present in the league to watch the progress of these players with their clubs. Getting these players will also help to bring the league to limelight and also improve the competitiveness amongst the club in the league and also the local players will be of benefits to these signings so you see why Isay this is a win win for the league and the nation at large.
205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eredivisie 23/24 - discussion thread on: May 14, 2024, 02:16:02 PM

Thanks for the correction, I didn't know there was still a chance for them to go to the European league, I hope they get that spot. Finishing in 5th position is not good, if at least they had finished in 4th position it could have been acceptable, but a team like Ajax being in 5th position and still depending on entering the European League indirectly is shameful. I wonder what changes the Ajax management will make next season to make the team champion, because if they keep things the same way, then next season they won't be able to be champions, the top teams will keep a large part of their squad and coaches, so they will have a good chance of winning the league next season



In my opinion, the most difficult part for the players and coaches of a team is when the end of the league comes and they are faced with situations like this:


Relegation is the hardest part that players, coaches and team management face. because they lose a lot when they are relegated, they lose a lot of money, they lose the attention of the big companies that sponsor the teams. Companies want attention, so they will sponsor big teams and teams that are in the major leagues. players from the main teams have a greater chance of being hired by the big teams, coaches from the main teams also have a chance of being hired by the big teams. but when they are in the second division leagues, they lose all that. In the main league, teams earn more money, when they are relegated they will earn less money and it becomes difficult to return to the main league
Just going through the Eredivise table and I can see they’re left with just a match and you can safely say that Ajax are locked in 5th place. Well that’s a big one for them because that’s an Europa League qualification and I think they tried real hard and fought for this position and they can be commended to an extent.

 ⁠Well we’re not used to see Ajax in this kind of position, rather we’re used to see them participating in the UCL but rather this season they had a big setback. Now you will begin to winder what are the chances for them to do even better next season, because most sponsors will want to see their clubs in the UCL and not the UEL and will they be able to attract players to their club
 
 ⁠Well most players love to participate in clubs in the UCL and as such with Ajax fate of UEL, theN you can say that UEL is  going to be one very big barricade to them getting better signings for themselves. Well the board have to act fast and try to get proper signings and also change the management of the club, I think this club needs to properly rebuild so as to get back on the radar because they’re now a shadow of themselves.
 
 ⁠Just like what a team faces while going for relegation, the same is for a team who is not participating in the UCL, there is always a problem when they want to sign players. The financial impacts of this miss will be great and this is a more reason why the board must be very strategic in their move.
206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 14, 2024, 11:42:31 AM
After the announcement of leaving club at the end of this season things were going impressive and fans and players all were optimistic as they are going to have historic end of this season, and they are going to have three or four trophies but sadly suddenly we have some mess-up which create huge setback, and now we are heading for the another usual end of the season for the Liverpool which is the unluckiest club for me as they are usually having serious injuries during crucial part of the season.

But now all is going to end, and we are going to watch next season at the new level for them but still they could be having place in final this is going to be one of the most entertaining final for the soccer fans and UEFA Europa League history as well because currently Bayer Leverkusen is also having impressive run and their winning streak is also looking for the team like Liverpool which give them challenge of the season which is not possible from the Atlanta which is having good last few weeks but still not quality like Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool.
Liverpool on one hand has experienced a push ahead in their stance since Klopp joined the team. They have been impactful in all areas of contests they find themselves. They've pulled through series of finals and have lifted a number of trophies too. The manager has been a positive addition to them and it's understandable if the club can't let go of him yet. This season, he's aimed for a number of trophies too, first when they took on Chelsea in the EFL finals, definitely the boss was charged to win again.
 
 Inasmuch as they achieved such feat already, they biggest shame for a club is the fact that all their other trophy chase have been put to a stop. It's sad because they were so eager and energized towards the task. The fans themselves already had so many projections for them too. Last night's draw only explains and concluded their poor late season performance too. They've been a team who's hopes were raised but dashed after a while. Sadly they have to wait on next season's chance to give their best.

 We all thought UEL would be fair enough to make an encounter between Leverkusen and Liverpool but we also forgot that football can't always be as it seems as Liverpool, the big team who were projected to stay longer in tbe contest were eliminated by a smaller team who really stands little chance to bring down Leverkusen if peradventure they get to go up against each other in the final game. This weekend, Leverkusen would still definitely maintain their unbeaten track record and 99.9% still uphold this record in the domestic league till the season runs out and for their UEL race, the chances to maintain the records are still feasible. Truthfully, so far this season, Leverkusen have been remarkable and they're a team that the football community is proud of.
207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season on: May 14, 2024, 11:33:25 AM
We have had an extraordinary league this season. Normally we don't have teams that dominate the league by a wide margin. Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe gave us an extraordinary season. Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe have lost only once this season. Fenerbahçe has very little chance of winning the championship. We can say Galatasaray is the champion. However, if Fenerbahçe beats Galatasaray in the derby next week and inflicts Galatasaray's second defeat of the season, Fenerbahçe can gain a significant advantage in the competition. These two teams have been in a rivalry for a hundred years. The league championship is of course important, but derby matches are just as important as the league championship.
The Turkish Super Lig is one league that's been having a wide point margin between their title holder and the other teams but this season both top teams have actually been playing averagely and their end result is more or less thesame with a difference in just the goal margins. It's not so bad though but it'd mean that one team would have to put extra work to their game delivery if they want to secure the trophy.

 Fernabache and Galatasaray are good teams with good quality of players and both are capable of making the contest tough. But we await who'd be the greatest of them all. Galatasaray and Fernabache are making the struggle for the league trophy more difficult because they are giving thesame victory energy and aura, the points gathered, the goal differences, they're seemingly the toughest team in the league and their victory is so certain. Their elimination from the UEFA conference league tournament gave them more time to prepare and focus on the last laps of the Turkish League games for the season.

 In a long while in the Turkish League, deciding the league's winner will take a while because these two teams are good at what they do. They play to win, and their position on the league table would be determined by the outcome of the game of the other. The next  league game for both teams would undoubtedly end up as a victory for them because their opponents are a little bit opposite of them in all aspects. It's hard to watch these top teams perform and get a result that is utterly different but maybe after their next game, the final decider would be when they go up against themselves. There and then, the best thing would be determined or worst case, the points will be shared.
208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 14, 2024, 11:25:27 AM

The match didn't end as I anticipated, I also doubted Barcelona to have victory over Real Sociedad because they're capable of beating Barcelona at Camp Nou. However, I didn't realize that Barcelona is also fighting for the second place in the league, I thought Barcelona would have a hard time winning the game since their opponents would do anything possible with their strength to secure the point and qualify for the next European competitions. With so many challenges in their remaining games, Real Sociedad will find it difficult to compete in other competitions next season. I believe Real Betis also want to maintain their current position since they cannot qualify for the Champions League.

Girona is behind Barcelona by one point, I'm not sure that Barcelona is going to finish the season in second place because the one point difference is not enough to be comfortable in the position. However, both clubs have the strength to beat their opponents in the next three games. Let's see who is going to finish the season in second place.
⁠The league is coming to an end and it’s already crowned it's champions to be Real Madrid especially after such remarkable season. Well Girona and Barcelona were the closest contenders but they weren't able to gather enough points to be able to challenge Real Madrid.

 The La Liga is pretty competitive but I think it revolves majorly around Real Madrid and Barcelona as other clubs tend not to be able to perform better than these 2 clubs. Even though Girona's performance so has granted them an exemption too, being that they've even done well to perform extra to prove their worth and relevance. The game last night put Barcelona a point ahead of Girona.

 It was a much needed win for Barcelona although the gap is little and definitely before the season is wrapped up, anything can happen. Girona seems determined to make a difference this season. Barcelona with their sloppiness should be mindful and careful not to give off their position. Just a little bulge can push them off. We'd see how the final games would turn out for the teams.
209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 14, 2024, 11:14:17 AM
what you say makes perfect sense and it's no wonder why in the remainder of this match Bologna seemed to be really struggling to maintain their position even though Juventus were also chasing the point difference several times, but Bologna managed to overcome every obstacle.
and other evidence that is sometimes ignored, such as Bologna having a consistently high level of maintaining points in every match to try not to always lose points or at least 1 point is more valuable.
Initially, many people ignored Bologna and were too busy talking about other popular teams, but they forgot something important, namely that a team like Bologna set a new record in history and could qualify for the UCL next season.

there are 2 more matches remaining and there is also 1 difficult match remaining that Bologna must face to maintain their position against Juventus and I am sure that if Bologna cannot beat Juventus they will definitely end the match with a draw to still get points.
and this effort will definitely be made because the difference in points with Atalanta is not too far and on the one hand Atalanta is also in a very strong condition and could shift Bologna position if they lose points in the remaining 2 matches.
There's definitely improvement in the Bologna team, although they're not at perfect spots on the league table but they still are a promising team who seem to have a greater advantage over their opponent. Bologna are also improved in their performances and they've done their best to stay put in performing greatly till the last of the season.

 Thankfully the game against Roma favored Bologna as they did their best to stand out.  Bologna did well to secure the 3points to themselves away from home and the outcome therefore proves how set they are to keep good points especially in the last games left for the season. This gave them an extra zeal ahead of their clash against Napoli.
 
 Bologna will be playing away from home and so added to their last two league games victory, the host advantage definitely working for Napoli won't be much threat to Bologna. For the fact that their opponent aren't much of a huge difference in both of their performances level this season. Between both teams, I'd say that there's thesame probability of ability and capacity to be victorious. The team just have to do their best to prove their worth. The fixtures left may seem challenging but they still have the ability to stand out rightly.
210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 14, 2024, 11:07:01 AM

Bayer Leverkusen is very ambitious, they want this season to be unbeaten, it is not an easy thing for other teams to make their team unbeaten in one season, something that should be appreciated for the team and of course coach Xabi Alonso, Xabi really turned this team into the best not only in the league but currently in Europe.

How the stamina and mentality that Xabi creates in his players is not just something, his team has proven it in making it happen, how they always score goals in the last minutes even in a losing position, and when they are confirmed as league champions they still aim for victory, this is the team who was built with a strong mentality, and wants himself to not only be known in his country as a champion, but he is aiming for complete victory this season by never failing.
Leverkusen's qualification to the finals of this season's UEL was also historic as they kept their unbeaten record still in play after drawing to Roma. This season they've been an undaunted team and they really have all it takes to finish the season with the unbeaten record intact and two trophies in their shelf. Their next UEL opponent is competitive but it's not really a big deal for them based on the fact that they have gained enough confidence and have even being in tougher encounters which they've at thesame time comfortably come out from victoriously.

 Atalanta themselves know that they won't be up for a joke game in the semi finals stage. It would be quite disappointing if Leverkusen flops on this opportunity to win the European League as even their manager  Xabi Alonso has been able to ensure they have an upper hand over other opponents. Well it's something that's more than impossible. Alonso has been able to prove himself worthy to take on a higher ranked club.

 His good at what he's done so far even with a less productive squad as Leverkusen, now one would imagine how enormous he'd achieve with a productive squad with higher player capacity and quality. He's another one amongst many players turn coach that did well both in the pitch and in the manager's box too. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities.

Three points are important, but they were correct that having a lot of GD is essential caused by we can't really sure if arsenal will lead the competition by having more points. I. If Manchester City wins convincingly against Tottenham Hotspur and i think that having same points may possible to happen for arsenal and city. Arsenal could still lose the title race because City will have a better GD or GF than Arsenal and it has concerned by the gunners fans. The worst-case scenario is that Arsenal lose the title race because they score fewer goals than Manchester City at the end of last matchday.
They are correct that winning the game by scoring a lot is essential in a highly competitive environment like this one. United did their best to prevent Arsenal from winning but Arteta changed his strategy in the second half in order to keep its win from united.

He puts a lot of players in front of the goalkeeper to maintain his team's lead in the scoring against Manchester United and arsenal was always deflected united's attack. If I were an Arsenal fan, I would hope that the team takes any chances such as winning the game or scoring a lot of goals in order to get a save zone when club is having same points to the city. it's not something wrong by being salty with the result.
This is extremely important for Arsenal because it will be instrumental in determining the club's chances of winning the trophy this season.

I can imagine how disappointed Arsenal fans will be if the club fails to win a trophy this season. Arsenal is not a huge club.

Well Arsenal were able to get their win against Man United yesterday but it wasn’t convincing enough. Yes in this their tight race with Man city they’re to understand that as 3 points is key so also is getting the huge goal difference margin also key in their race to winning the league. Now they have given City the edge here because if City goes on to defeat Tottenham with a 3-0 scoreline then you can understand how that gives Mam City the good edge as against Arsenal in the chase. Chasing 3 points is very important but also building up goal differences isn’t to be overlooked because they could hurt you on the final day.

 ⁠Man United too must be commended for their performance against Arsenal it was real top notch and one I enjoyed every minute of it and I think this goes to show that this United side shouldn’t be underestimated. They still have a shot for Europa League that’s in the FA Cup final and you can expect it will be a great showdown for them against Man city.

 ⁠For Arsenal fans, I think their disappointment started when they lost to Aston Villa, that game thwarted their chances and now you can say the chance of them winning is just 25% and I think they can have a good shot at it next season but it’s all over this season as City will be crowned champions.

this is what makes the English league the most competitive league in Europe compared to other leagues that exist, when all leagues such as the Spanish, German, French, Italian and even Arab leagues have ensured the championship team when the season still has a few match again, but in fact the English League until now we have not been able to determine who will win even though the match only leaves 1 or 2 more at this time,  at the moment Manchester City are strong candidates to win the Premier League but it is also uncertain before the rest of their the game is completely finished, two teams are currently competing for the championship trophy and I think both still have the same chance to win the Premier League.

Arsenal have gone through one of the remaining two games with a win, so they are currently top of the Premier League table, tomorrow we will see the postponement match between Tottenham and Manchester City played, the result of the postponement match is of course very influential on Manchester City and also Arsenal, if Manchester City wins of course they will most likely win the EPL this season,  Likewise, if Manchester City lose or draw then Arsenal chances are very wide open to end the season with a championship trophy, against Tottenham is one of the remaining difficult games for Manchester City but considering the rivalry that occurs between Arsenal and Tottenham, isn't it possible if Tottenham will deliberately lose the game later?
Still on the competitive nature of the EPL, it still remains one of the very consistent league and it’s kept it’s competitive nature over time. Just imagine what’s going on there, all other leagues have rounded up and crowned their champions but in the EPL it’s going to the last day and it’s even the same when it comes to the relegation zone and European spot challenge.

 This league is one cery fierce league and the competition here is really top notch and exciting to see and I’m loving it. Arsenal were able to get the victory over Man United and take the battle for the EPL title to the last day. Now Man City must be able to defeat Spurs tomorrow which is their outstanding. These 2 clubs have shown fierce strength for the title and they’re not relentless in any match as they keep up very high fighting spirit for the EPL title.

Now I think Tottenham will be the ones with the deciding factor and you can imagine Tottenham taking serious their rivalry with Arsenal and letting Man City defeat them. Yes it’s very possible and if that happens, I think it’s safe to say Man City will be champions of this league for 4th consecutive time and that will be one very great history for the league by this club. Well let’s see how the match with Tottenham goes then we know our stand. I still have high hopes on Man City winning this league and I think they are better placed to win it.

Indeed, there is no doubt that Real Madrid, with its excellent performance can make them reach this peak point. Likewise, Borussia Dortmund has tried to reach this peak point. with these two teams of course they have their own best performance. each coach from these two teams will of course prepare and do their best to get the best results. With Dortmund themselves, they certainly won't waste this golden opportunity, and neither will Real Madrid.

Of course, the match between these two teams will be exciting, because there is no doubt that there will be a lot of Real Madrid fans who will watch this important match with Real Madrid. With the Real Madrid coach developing an effective strategy to win this final match, it is possible that Real Madrid will not make it easy for Borussia Dortmund. Also, Borussia Dortmund will definitely do their best because what they are facing is not a team that can be underestimated Even though many people think that Borussia Dortmund's performance is below that of Real Madrid, Real Madrid certainly cannot underestimate Borussia Dortmund.
Of no doubt you’ll ve confident enough to say the display from both Real Madrid and Dortmund is worthy of taking them to the finals as in their run down through the knockout phase both teams showed without no single doubt their strong fighting spirit to get them to this stage of the competition. Both teams used their different strengths and it helped them get to this stage and you can say they both deserve this final spot and you can say the final match between these teams will be one very thrilling and exciting one.

 ⁠I believe the views for this match will be having more of the Real Madrid fans yes because they’re the big boys of Europe and winning a 15th UCL title will be one big achievement for the team. I also think Ancelotti knows what’s is at stake and as such he’s preparing the best of tactics to use against this Young and talented Dortmund squad.

 This match will be one very exciting one as you can say it’s a match between experience and young massive talents and you can expect great fireworks from the pitch of play because the players will be forced to show their massive talents on the pitch. This match will be one great one that will have great audience and one that will be captivating.

 Yes I’m giving my full support to the Real Madrid team because they’re better well placed and they have the experience and the talents to hurt this Dortmund side. Yes you must commend Dortmund side for coming this far but come on it’s Real Madrid’s show already.

As much as I hate to say it, Sometimes I don't think Jim Radcliffe knows what he is doing, because if he does, there's no way on earth he'll be linking Manchester United to Gareth Southgate and Graham Potter. These British players and coaches are not so good the way the English Media project them or hype them.

Most of the squad will sure be wiped out, as for Erik Ten Hag? I have also seen a video of Garry Neville sticking to Erik Ten Hag because there are no good managers out there if you analyse. Otherwise, Bayern Munich wouldn't be chasing Erik Ten Hag when they could go all out for Graham Potter and Southgate.

But Sancho was wrong, these players and fans complain about Ole Gunner Solskjaer soft handling and management, now they have seen some hard touch they still complain. I'm disappointed with most of them fanbase. Erik Ten Hag was also right to take of the Captain Armband off Harry Maguire. Roy Keane will say Bruno Fernandez doesn't grwo people around him, what did Harry Maguire do, did he talk about it?

Harry Maguire has been professional anyways, but he should still be amongst players leaving the club. He lacks too much to be qualified as a Manchester United defender.
Apparently, Erik Ten Hag has proven to be a competent and skillful football manager such that, some of his co-football managers cannot be compared to him, which is why even Bayern Munich are eager to have him on their team. Unlike his co-football managers, the likes of Gareth Southgate and Graham Potter who are obviously not as competent as they've been painted out to be.
 
 Hence our concern as to why Jim Radcliffe is trying to link Manchester United to Gareth and Graham. In the past, both players and fans laid complaints concerning Ole Gunner Solskjaer's gentle handling and management but even now that it seems management is hard on them, they still seem to have complaints to lay which is quite disappointing.

 Also, it was a commendable act of Erik Ten Hag to strip Harry Maguire off the Captain Armband title. No doubt he's tried for the English side in the past, we just have to wait and hope on his improvement out of the team's current state. Let's see his effectiveness again. Currently their phase is as a result of a poor two sided action, and him being on the most profound side has the power to initiate the difference.

Lewandowski has played for Barcelona for two seasons and in the first season he really performed satisfactorily by providing 23 goals with 7 assists for La Liga and 5 goals in the UCL, this season Lewandowski provided 17 goals with 8 assists in La Liga.
From all this, Lewandowski can actually still be said to be quite sharp striker even though he is 35 years old, if Barcelona let him go it would be very detrimental and Lewandowski this season is not too bad.
If I personally give an assessment, Barcelona decline in performance has nothing to do with Lewandowski because he has also played very well, but several other players have experienced decline and made Barcelona appear not like last season.
If the other players can play well and Xavi can work properly then it is possible that Barcelona will not be like this and Lewandowski can definitely have more goals and assists, the decision to throw out Lewandowski should be considered lot.

Moreover, the rumors about Lewandowski sale option are not because he is performing poorly but because of the salary increase that is burdensome for Barcelona, but considering how he plays I think it is worth the big salary.
Lewandowski is a great striker. He's still got the fuel in him to net in more goals. He's agile, skilful and his goal scoring abilities are at the peak. Although age is calling gradually but he's still got a bit of time in him to show his worth in the public and projected games too. Although like Ronaldo, even at the age he is, he still kept the zeal on. I don't think Lewandowski's case would be any different.

 Let him still use the ample of his time left to do exploits. He's got European cups and tournaments to journey through and in him, there's all that it'd take. Age is still favourable to him and he doesn't look like he'd slack in a few years to come, so for the mean time, he's got to enjoy his playing time before thinking of retiring back to the Arab league or quit football generally.

 The striker can still be a useful asset to the Spanish side. Despite the ups and downs, he's managed to stay in form and shape, he still does well to net in goals when he's got the chance to and so far his rate of play isn't really any need for alarm. The club themselves know how advantageous he is and also how difficult it is to get an active striker in the market now. So they've just got to stick to appropriate terms with him and also try to work with him as he strives to do his best in being relevant in the team too.

I'm not surprised at all because Dortmund have already confirmed a place in the Champions League for next season, and it is also predicted to be an advantageous match for Mainz who have currently managed to get out of the relegation playoff zone, but the number of goals scored by Mainz is the big surprising because it was three goals without reply, even though Dortmund controlled possession of the ball, there wasn't much they could do.
Mainz benefited from the conditions faced by Dortmund, and in the last match against Wolfsburg they only needed one point to remain in their current position and make Union Berlin compete in the relegation playoff and if Union Berlin manage to win then they will remain in this division, looking at what happened to Union Berlin is quite pathetic.
Bayern Leverkusen and Dortmund are clearly two clubs with varying strengths, with Bayern Leverkusen on top of the duo. Bayern Leverkusen competed against Roma yesterday in the second leg of the semi finals clash of the UEL and were unbeaten back to a draw but still advanced on aggregates to the final.
 
 On the other hand, Dortmund were fortunate enough to had played, won and qualified against PSG to the final of the UCL and although their level of play is top notch in the Champions League, it is not compared to this Bundesliga season because of the disparaging level of competition. With Dortmund making it to the finals, they have to win against Real Madrid in order to get the trophy.
 
 For me I think their qualification to the final which has earned them a chance to get a free ticket to next season's European contest at thesame time as their position on the league table has placed them comfortably in that spot of featuring in the UCL, that's why they felt they had and have the leisure to give off outright good performance to waste. Well me thinking they'd try to stay in top form like Leverkusen just to at least gain a bit of confidence boost ahead of their clash with Madrid but they're just in their own self. Hopefully the game results well for them.

The victory over Al Hazm in week 31 has ensured Al Hillal came out as champions of the Saudi Arabian League this season by leaving Al Nassr in second place, Al Hillal managed to continue to extend their unbeaten record this season in the league and even now without waiting for the league to end, Al Hillal managed to win the Arab League, with a collection of 89 points from 31 matches of course it is impossible for Al Nassr to chase the points owned by Al Hillal This season with only 3 games left in the season, Al Hillal performance this season is indeed very extraordinary even when their star player Neymar missed the whole season it did not make Al Hillal slumped at all, relying on the majority of local Saudi Arabian players but instead Al Hillal was able to compete and beat a team containing many European star players this season.

Al Nassr who are ranked second are certainly not able to compete with Al Hillal even though they have Mane and Ronaldo in their squad, while Ronaldo must be quite sad after the failure to win the championship trophy this season although indeed the title of top scorer is likely to be his, Al Nassr and Al Hillal still have one competition to win the trophy this season,  In the coming weeks, Al Hillal and Al Nassr will meet each other in the final for the Saudi Arabian King Cup trophy after they were able to beat their opponents in the semi-finals.
Al-Hilal have been crowned champions after their victory over Al-Hazem which keeps them comfortably in a 12 point gap above their closest rival Al-Nassr. This victory is a big testament to how fierce their team has been both domestically and internationally as they still remain unbeated across all competitions. They took every match serious and fought for it and were consistent in showing out top performance in almost all matches which is one major quality that’s brought them this far.

 They signed Neymar at the start of the season but he surprisingly picked up an injury and yet the team wasn’t all bothered but made do with what they had which was a blend of average European stars and their local based players. Yet they were still able to get the victories and maintain this high level of success this goes to show how strong their team bond is and yes credits need to be given particularly to the coach for being able to maintain this top level over the season and get the prize which are the trophies.

 Al-Nassr on the other hand got some big names in their squad and at the start of the season you will see them as one side to be feared but well football happened. Though Ronaldo is still in chase to aquire the league’s highest goal scorer for consistently 2 seasons. For his team they’re in a final against a very in-form Al-Hilal side and I think this is a big one for them to at least clinch on one title. This final will be on exciting one as these are the two major teams of the league and as such you can expect nothing but an exciting enocunter. I think Al-Nassr team needs to be very clinical because for Ronaldo, I’m backing them to be able to get this trophy off the hands of this Al-Hilal side.

The match for week 33 today between Clermont vs Lyon and we have already to talking about this before because Lyon was very impressive and within months with new manager Lyon can avoiding relegation zone and now they have a good chances to finish at Europa Conference League zone and since January until this month Lyon can able to collect 10 wins and these results is make Lyon position at League Table can rapidly increases and today they have a target want to resumes their winning streak by attempt to beat Clermont

For Lyon opponent Clermont last season this team can able to finish at 8th place but unfortunately Clermont performing poorly and they only gets 5 wins from 32 matches and this make Clermont position currently at the bottom of League Table and mathematically Clermont still able to taking over 16th place from Metz which mean play off zone but if we see based on their recent performance i highly doubt they can able to do that and about the outcomes of this match i think it's not necessary more to analysis because Lyon recent performance is much better than Clermont so they have good chances to be the winner of this match and Lyon win has odds @1.54 or other option just like over 2.5 goals also good pick
Lyon vs Clermont foot is up next in Ligue 1 and you can tell how crucial this match is for the both teams as 3 points gotten by any team will the team’s major escape whilst we get the season to an end. Clermont Footbare finding themselves in the relegation zone and if they can get all 3 points, that will be a big boost for them whilst Lyon needs this win to get themselves safe in Conference League Spot.

 ⁠Lyon will be consolidating ok their performance in recent matches and I think they will be the more confident side in this match.  Clermont Foot have been poor this season as their performance have really dropped as comapred to last season and you can only inagine what their fate is in this match against Lyon.

 ⁠Well I think this already smells victory for Lyon because they’re better well placed amongst the two teams but it’s mot over till after 90 minutes you know as anything could go wrong in the match. A nice prediction for this match will be double chancing on Lyon and also an over 2.5 goals in this match. ⁠Yes over 2.5 because Lyon could score at least 2 whilst Clermont Foot can get a goal in the match. Well after this match, I think their fate will be decided  and I can’t wait to see what happens after 90 minutes.

Facing Arsenal who are indeed having high motivation to win the Premier League this season will certainly not be as easy as they did last season, in the last two seasons Arsenal can improve their performance and also their winning statistics when facing Manchester United at Old Trafford,  Today match will be their second meeting of the season after in the first meeting Manchester United lost to Arsenal with a score of 3-1, the game on day can certainly be a place of revenge for Manchester United for the previous defeat, besides that I think if you want to keep competing to be able to play in the Europa League next season, of course Manchester United must win 3 points against Arsenal.

Although Manchester United condition is in poor performance, they still cannot be underestimated, because after all, Manchester United can often surprise the big teams they are opponents this season, such as when they eliminated Liverpool from the FA Cup this season, speaking of the FA Cup, of course, Manchester United still has a chance to play in the Europa League next season through the FA Cup winning route if they fail to get it through the league standings England this season, but the problem now is that winning the FA Cup seems more difficult because they have to face Manchester City in the final later, so I think it is more realistic and easier for them to get via 6th place in the Premier League standings this season than beating Manchester City in the FA final later.

 This match against Man United and Arsenal at Old Trafford is one that holds high stakes for both clubs and I think this is one match that lost fans will use as a bragging right this season. Both teams are in chase for something, while Arsenal is chasing the league so bad, Man United wouldn’t want to miss out on Europe and as such this match is a must win for them. So you can see all what is at stake in this match in England.

 Man United lost the first leg of this encounter earlier this season with a 3-1 margin and I think that loss is what the players wouldn’t want to happen but you can just imagine how possible and hard it will be for Man United. Arsenal attackers are really fierce and you can say the defending vulnerabilities of this Man United side will sure catch up with them when Arsenal fierce and fast attackers come at them. ⁠One major fact you can’t overlook is how this Man United side have been with the top teams this season.  You can see how they thrashed out Liverpool of the FA Cup and I think one of the main spoilers of Liverpool’s title chase.

 As such you can’t expect them to sit quiet against Arsenal in front of their home fans. Well they want to at least participate in the Europa League next season and yes they need to finish 6th at least or win the FA Cup final. Winning the FA CUp final might be more challenging, so they understand how much of importance this match is for them. ⁠This match will be one exciting one that will go down im About 3 hours and with the way this Arsenal side are seriously chasing their title and the injury crisis at Man United which makes them vulnerable I think Arsenal will be winning this with a 0-3 or 0-4 scoreline.

Chelsea still have a chance to qualify for the Europa League if Newcastle and Manchester United lose their games and Chelsea can finish 6th and qualify for the Europa League, besides after last season when Chelsea struggled to stay in the EPL 6th-7th place seems like a very good outcome. I thought that the place above 8th for Chesley will be a local success, because the team needs to give confidence and to do this after last season is not so easy, but Pocchetino in general has succeeded and although we must admit that Chelsea is one of the most unpredictable teams in the EPL, which can beat the favorites and lose to the outsiders of the league, but nevertheless it can be seen that Chelsea finally has character and the team wins games that seemed to lose. For example, the last game with Nottingham, when up to 80 minutes it seemed that Nottingham will bring the game to victory, but a couple of successful substitutions and in a few minutes Chelsea turned the game around and was able to win.

So I think that so far the Chelsea management is quite satisfied with Pocchetino's work and at least for next season he deserves a contract extension.
Chelsea this season have really been great and yes they might mot be in the top 4 but I think when compared to last season they’re looking better placed than they were last season. Right now they’re currently sitted in 7th place and tied on same points with 6th place Newcastle. Well the club still has an Europa League spot in sight and that’s quite possible because if Man United can defeat Newcastle later this week and Chelsea gets a win over Brighton then they’ll be cruising to 6th place whilst they await their last match of the season.⁠ This season they have not had a balanced form well apart from the last few matches where it’s been all rosy for them.

 They have gone from up to down and they win games you think will be  quite difficult for them and the easy ones they’re slipping up by losing or maybe playing out a draw. ⁠At this point especially with the last games you will see the new sense of resilience from the players and with the stat in 2024, you begin to wonder what they have been doing since the start of the season because if they have at least won some games they drew, at least they would have been better placed on the log. Well in all, you can still commed Poch for the good work he’s done with this young team.

 ⁠I think with the way they have performed recently, Poch has been able to please the board of the club and as such they are very confident in him and his style l. So it’s safe to say we’ll still be seeing him around next season and I hope he helps get this team to the top 4 next season because the fans can’t wait to see their team participate in the UCL.
