What is your opinion about the PSG - Dortmund matchup? Honestly I believe PSG are here big thanks to their luck as well. That unbelievable red card Araujo got finished off Barcelona. This makes me question PSG's chance for even reaching the finale. Because their opponent in the semi finals is doing really good recently too.  Dortmund eliminated Atletico Madrid which isn't really an easy job to do for even the biggest favourites of the title here. They did it in a really impressive way at the same time. I remember PSG - Dortmund games in the group stage but I still believe it might be different this time. Even if PSG advance I think it won't be easy. |

Union Berlin 0:5 Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich may have lost the title this season to the better team Bayer Leverkusen but watching them still play brilliantly today after their game against Arsenal in the champions league shows how dedicated they are in finishing the league well even though they have lost the title already. Today, they proved superiority once again by trashing Union Berlin from away after struggling in their previous matches to score goals, I believe they will finish the season as runners up in the league if they maintain the good performance by winning their remaining matches and scoring more goals like they did in this match against Union Berlin.
Edit: 1:5 full-time score.
I wish Kane was able to score more goals than only one in this game. The reason why I wanted such thing is that he would have been much closer to breaking a new goal record in the Bundesliga. The existing record belongs to Lewandowski with 41 goals you know. Right now Kane has 33 goals and only 4 league games left to play. It looks like this won't happen this season.  But considering the way Kane started his first season here I have big hopes from him to break this goal record. Maybe it would even happen in next season who knows. Next time Bayern Munich are playing against Frankfurt home but I wouldn't recommend anyone to take a risk by betting on Bayern Munich. Because I assume we would see a big rotation as they have the first leg of the Champions League only three days after this game. |

Ancelotti talks about Modric like he doesn't want to be on the bench. This is no surprise because Modric is still a really hardworking player in Real Madrid squad. He still has a lot of energy at this age as well. You would remember his being able to play for even 120 minutes at his national team in a match. He just loves to play football as much as possible.  This makes me think about whether he will decide to extend his contract for another year this summer. Because the current one is about to end by this summer. He is 38 years old now and I'm curious about whether he sees making more money in Saudi Arabia as an option as well. |

Bayern Munich aren't having one of their best seasons as I said before. However this doesn't mean that Real Madrid would be too comfortable to beat them. There is nothing guaranteed in football especially if you underestimate your opponent. I don't expect Ancelotti to do such thing though. He is a very smart manager which can be understood from the way he played against Manchester City. It was the only way to eliminate Manchester City and he preferred that by closing his ears to people who were criticizing him like he was a coward. Now I haven't any doubt that Ancelotti will choose the right way to play against Bayern Munich as well. I believe in Real Madrid to win the matchup. |

Zinedine Zidane is reported to be keeping one eye on the manager job at Manchester United as he weighs up a return to work this summer. https://www.90min.com/zinedine-zidane-monitoring-erik-ten-hag-future-man-utd-bayern-munich-linksIt surprises me, and I'm hoping this will come true. We didn't need ten hag, which is correct and management must consider zidane as the primary option to be recruited as manchester united's coach. We need Zidane to join Manchester United as a new appointment caused by that's enough for united to have garbage coach like ten hag. Zidane can also rebuild the club as he wanted and im hoping it will have better result. It's very disappointing to see that ten hag gave us nothing despite spending a lot of money and im sure majority of people are also feeling the same like us. I'm hoping Zidane will be United's coach soon. It will be very interesting to see so many great coaches move to the Premier League in the coming season. I need Zidane, and United must remove Ten Hag from the club as soon as possible. I'd be overjoyed if Zidane came to the United. No more ten hag. He will be out next season. United never performed well under him. Ten Hag was only wasting so many of United's resources. I was just going to talk about it after seeing the rumour. Zidane has always been rumoured with various teams to manage them. I'm not sure about whether there is some truth in this news.  It is even said that he would prefer Manchester United over Bayern Munich. This made me believe less in the rumour. Because it is more difficult to save Manchester United with this squad. He will literally need to revolutionize the team to be competitive for titles. But when it comes to Bayern Munich he can be much more successful even with the current squad. As of Kane addition the squad is in really great condition in the end. |

 Good news has come to the serie a. The league will get 5 UCL spots starting from the upcoming season. Lazio has a chance to qualify for the europa league this season since it needs to finish at the 6th place in order to secure a spot participate in the europa league. Lazio was winning the game by acquiring one goal through luis alberto. It's a very good move for lazio caused by the chance to participate in europa leagueis getting bigger after it was winning the last game. Glad to see lazio thrashed genoa even with narrow score. Shit happens when kamada was giving a beautiful assist to the his teammates. It has become a key for lazio in scoring against genoa. I was wondering whether the website I was checking was wrong about showing 5 teams to qualify for the Champions League first. However it really happened and the Serie A has one more quota for that.  This is wonderful news for Serie A teams (especially for Roma). Roma have been trying to get past Bologna for the last Champions League spot before this change. Now they are able to make it there even if they finish at their current position in the standings. Lazio are right behind by 3 points though but Roma have 2 less games played compared to them as well. I assume Roma wouldn't mess up that much to lose even the current position. It would be a big disappointment otherwise. |

Verstappen's dominance level in the sprint race was just something else. Despite starting at the fourth position he took the lead after many laps and had a huge time gap with Hamilton like thirteen seconds. He captured pole position in qualifying session later on without surprising anyone as well. However the challenge among the other drivers in close range was worth watching. McLaren had a really great day and I can say the same thing for Alonso as well. Ferrari weren't good enough on one hand. However I think Leclerc and Sainz will be faster tomorrow. I feel like this race will be way more enjoyable compared to the Japanese GP. |

I don't blame the coach, maybe Bayern Munich is just unlucky at the moment.
Honestly I blame the manager the most. Because having the right manager really makes difference for Bayern Munich. Tuchel isn't a bad manager of course. He is a Champions League winner manager.  However he couldn't build a good chemistry with Bayern Munich players. This is why there have been significant inconsistencies. I wouldn't like to see Nagelsmann back as well in the same way. He also wasn't good enough. I mean if you are the manager of the strongest team of a league you are responsible for failure. We will see who their next manager will be. They had better find a solid one who can compete with Xabi Alonso's team next season. |

Lyon are still doing an amazing work! They continue to win and they are getting really lucky about their direct opponents in the standings at the same time. Reims, Marseille and Rennes all have started to get really bad results for a few weeks. Now Lyon are only two points behind the sixth position. They really have a chance to qualify for the Conference League at least. Considering how this season started for Lyon this is a huge progress. However tomorrow they have a very difficult game against PSG away. I don't know if they can get any points but even one point would be useful in this toughest game of the season. |

It wasn't going to be surprising to see Athletic Bilbao staying out of top four at the end of the season. Now they have really thrown away their chance completely by thinking that Atletico Madrid would win. Aside from that Simeone and his students must be really devastated after that Dortmund loss. They really looked determined for qualifying for even the finale. Now Simeone will at least make sure that they qualify for the Champions League. By the way it hasn't been much time since the board extended Simeone's contract. They must still be contented with his work. Maybe not in the La Liga but in the Champions League they have been really good this season. |

If De Bruyne or Bernardo Silva leaves the club, it is possible that Man City signs Musiala. But if those players still stay at Man City, I'm not sure they want to spend much money to sign Musiala. I also a bit doubt that Musiala wants to move to Man City because he may have a lower chance to play there. It won't be easy to compete with 2 top attacking midfielders to get a regular position. Musiala mustn't expect to sit on the bench.
Bernardo Silva newly extended his contract therefore I don't feel like he is leaving anytime soon. He has a contract running until 2026 now. But for De Bruyne, we never know. There have been quite many rumours linking him with Saudi Arabia teams. Honestly I would rather see him staying at Manchester City for one more year at least. It is really delightful to watch him play here. If both of them stays then I don't see it very sensible to sign Musiala. Because there are going to be so many good alternatives in the squad and Guardiola would have more problems on making a choice among them. Besides we don't even know whether Bayern Munich would be keen on selling him. |

Time feels so fast and we are already in week 33 of Serie A and as today's opening match Lazio will play an away match against Genoa. It looks like this will be a winning streak for Lazio and at the same time they will be able to shift Atalanta's position in the standings. The previous landslide victory against Cagliari was a very important asset to maintain his performance and maybe we will see another landslide result in this match.
On the other hand, Genoa, who feel they are still quite safe in 12th place in the standings with 39 points, will certainly not panic even if they lose to Lazio, but if they can beat Lazio or hold a draw then that would be even better. I think Genoa will play it safe and besides, none of the teams below them can unseat them by a significant difference in points.
Every single game left is important for Lazio from now on. Because they aren't only fighting for a better placement to qualify for an as good tournament as possible. They are also fighting for not losing their current position in the standings. Because Napoli have the same points with them and they are waiting for Lazio to make a mistake. Genoa don't have any goal left in the league now. They will play freely as a result. Lazio lost against them home before by the way. This made me question betting on them here first. However 2.48 odds are given to Lazio win which is very tempting.  Immobile might not play but it isn't a problem. He is playing horrible already.  |

All these conditions did not happen and Liverpool lost against Atalanta in a deserved way.
Yeah the result didn't surprise me either as I was expecting to see it. But if Liverpool were able to maintain their scoring performance after Salah's goal maybe it might have been a more interesting game. Atalanta seem like a really determined team in this tournament. At first I thought this would be the end of the road for them but after seeing the way they beat Liverpool my vision about them has changed. Now they are going to face Marseille in the semi finals. Despite knowing how good the work Marseille did was against Benfica I still see Atalanta one step ahead. If Atalanta get a decent result away first then I don't feel like they would let Marseille win this matchup. |

Sprint qualifying results were of an unexpected kind indeed. However if there is no rain at the weekend then I don't think we will continue to see similar results anymore. Verstappen would make the other drivers accept his dominance once again as usual I assume. We might at least watch a nice competition among the remaining drivers. Because this track is likely to be more fun compared to the previous one in Japan. This track allows the drivers to go for overtakes more comfortably. I'm especially curious about what Mercedes will do here. Because the season is going on like a nightmare for them and they need to start getting good results immediately. |

I agree that blaming Kane for Bayern Munich's fail this season would be the stupidest thing ever. He must be seen as the best player in the team right now without doubt. Bayern Munich's position in top four is safe now. The gap with Dortmund is 7 points you know. Therefore they can take more risks for the Champions League like saving their best players for the Champions League games ahead. It is a really tough matchup against Real Madrid and I expect Real Madrid to eliminate them as well. But still Bayern Munich have no other choice than going all in for it. They have nothing to lose after losing the Bundesliga title chance. |

Musiala seems to be on the radar of some Premier League teams these days. Manchester City is the most rumoured team recently and Chelsea is also said to have joined the race for him. I wouldn't be surprised to see Chelsea in the race. Todd Boehly likes to spend a lot of money obviously. However spending for players such as Musiala would be a logical action honestly. He is a great talent. Yeah I know about their current financial condition. But I said that because of considering the revenues they will get by the end of the season maybe they might be able to make some good transfers this summer. I hope so at least otherwise I don't expect much change in Juventus success rate next season either. |

PSG beat Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League yesterday, so can we say if their mentality has improved and become favourites to win the UCL this season?
I don't think we can say if PSG will be favourites to win the UCL, because I think PSG's victory in the second leg is inseparable from the red card obtained by Barcelona in that match, so it benefits PSG to beat Barcelona and I think if Barcelona still play with 11 players it is certainly not impossible for us now to see Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals.
The championship competition has long ended for other teams in Ligue 1, so now other teams in Ligue 1 are only to competing for a tickets Champions League next season, while the Ligue 1 trophy competition has long been only a dream for other teams besides PSG.
I agree. We can't say PSG are favoured to win the Champions League title from now on. If Barcelona didn't get that red card I was expecting them to eliminate PSG. I believe Dortmund also have a chance to eliminate this PSG. I always defended Atletico Madrid against Dortmund for example but they proved me really wrong. The work Dortmund did was really impressive. PSG had a good history against Dortmund in the group stage maybe but in this stage we never know what happens. Even if PSG reach the finale I think their opponent will be Real Madrid most probably and Real Madrid will add another trophy to their museum. |

Munich has completed its job and many people were mocking arsenal on X. The reaction was predictable since i believe that many fans from its competitors in EPL were also hoping arsenal to fail on UCL. It may be also failed in the EPL as well.
Arsenal's performance is getting even worsening start from the first leg. It reached its climax at the second half. it was also pressuring the performance from arsenal too. Things are just getting even difficult for arsenal to get at least one trophy this season.
Im surely arteta will be blamed once again by so many people when arsenal ended with trophyless at the end of season.
Arteta shouldn't be blamed for anything actually. What can he do? He is doing his best to get as big performance as possible from his players every season. He is really good at doing that as well. Arsenal just can't do a good finishing touch in a season. It won't make me surprised if they miss the Premier League title chance once again as well. They have very young players in their squad but they can still be one of big competitors. This is still a positive thing in my opinion. Of course I would like to see them finally winning a title as well but let's see. Arsenal shouldn't decide to part ways with Arteta later on. This would be a big mistake I think as he is a really good manager. |

Would you bet on this match? I think it will be difficult to determine the winner of this match considering that both teams are at the same level and the possibility of losing to each other will not happen here. When they were still in Mourinho's hands, Roma was not a dangerous team, not only against Bologna but against other teams they also had difficulty winning.
But not now that De Rossi is the coach and I think luck will be on Roma's side considering they are the hosts. Apart from that, the odds given are also quite reasonable and this also makes bettors confused about betting to win on one of the teams. I probably won't take the 1x2 betting option and prefer the result of both teams scoring goals, which I think is more realistic in a match like this.
Honestly it makes sense to me to give Roma a chance. If Mourinho was still managing the team then I would never even think about doing so. But what De Rossi is doing there is really worth giving a chance in my opinion. He is doing his best to carry this team to the Champions League after many years of not being a part of the tournament. Bologna are also doing a huge work this season of course. I don't expect them to give up at anytime during the game. Both teams to score might be another sensible option @2.03 even though "both teams to score: no" has lower odds than that. I expect a quite delightful game. |

I don't need to say too much about Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen today, I see them as going through next round, and for the other two matches the round is in the balance.
If Marseille win by 1 at home, the match can go to extra time and penalties, if they win by 2 they will advance. I don't think Benfica will pull back themselves too much in defense, it would be a mistake if they do. This is a draw where both sides can advance and it's very difficult to make a choice.
Milan, on the other hand, have to beat Roma away. If Roma can keep the scoring advantage from the first leg at home, they will be the Italians to reach the semi finals. This match is also very difficult to decide. It seems to me that Milan will score the goal. But we'll see if it's enough for them to pass the round.
While Liverpool have made things more difficult in the Premier League I wouldn't be surprised to see them struggling against Atalanta in the rematch. Klopp would of course want to win as many titles as possible but the priority is the Premier League one. Seeing some rotation would be also normal. We never see something guaranteed in football maybe but I also don't think Liverpool will be able to come back from 0-3. Leverkusen must be comfortable to advance. I expect another solid effort from them. Marseille - Benfica is hard to predict despite Benfica's score advantage. It isn't too difficult for Marseille to come back from 1-2. For Roma, I expect them to advance. The 1-0 win away is really valuable. I also think we would see a close game. |
