Well both teams were using makeshift defensive players so am not surprised the score was that ways. Most of the goals were as a result of avoidable defensive errors. I don't know If I am just delusional, but I think Manchester City just gave Real Madrid a chance to go through onto the Final.
We will see what happens 8 days from now.
Yeah, the same mistake Chelsea and PSG made, both teams gave Real Madrid a ticket to the next round. Real Madrid were not the better team in each of those games, but individual defensive errors were the reason they are in the semifinals. Manchester City made the same mistake yesterday, with Benzima's second goal and the Pk both coming from defensive errors. I wouldn't be surprised if Manchester City squandered their chances in the second leg. I cannot shake the feeling that Chelsea and PSG both somehow underestimated Real Madrid in the Champions League, otherwise they would have won against Madrid. A lot of people expected Real Madrid to not reach this stage of the competition, But Real Madrid proves them wrong. It's true that Real Madrid was helped by some mistakes made by their opponents but they truly deserved it. and now Real Madrid is one goal behind after the first leg against Manchester City so it will be interesting to see if they can overcome the deficit in the second leg. |

Pochettino has been officially sacked from the coaching chair by PSG, but the problem is that until now there has been no definite decision on who will replace Pochettino at PSG, a number of big names have been pocketed by PSG to manage PSG next season, their main target is the league champion, Zidane's name is indeed at the top to fill the vacancy of coaches, because Zidane has not coached any club now after leaving Real Madrid, there is also the name Ancelotti, but I don't think Ancelotti will ever want to coach PSG, because Ancelotti is enjoying the beauty of being with Real Madrid. Madrid, Antonio Conte could coach PSG next season, because Conte is also not happy with Tottenham, because the club doesn't want to bring in players like Conte wants, reports circulated that Conte has contacted the PSG club to say he is interested in coaching PSG next season, he also said he was very happy to be able to coach PSG next season.
I actually think it is a good decision to get Pochettino sacked, he clearly can't get the job done. It is quite unfortunate that players can’t be sacked easily cause Marquinhos and Kimpembe should have followed him for bottling the UEFA Champion's League this season and some home games in the ligue1 this season. I think the right fit for the job will be the likes of Ancelotti and Guardiola not Conte, Conte won't be able to handle the egos in that team for long. I think it is good for PSG but the problem is they need to find a substitute for him really quick otherwise there will be bigger problems for them. I really think PSG needs a manager who can be really dominating otherwise things are not going to work out well for them. I expect someone who can manage the team with authority, who generally knows what he is doing, and has good experience in managing a squad with great players. |

After Bayern was confirmed to be the winner of the Bundesliga trophy this season, now with 3 games remaining in the Bundesliga, everyone started
to focus on the fight for tickets to the Champions League. Which is still very exciting to follow, at least only Bayern and Dortmund are certain
to get Champions League tickets for next season. Meanwhile, Leverkusen and Leipzig, who are in the top 4, are still not safe, because they
can still be replaced by Freiburg or Union Berlin. Even Koln is actually still possible to enter the top 4, but the chances are very small seeing
that Koln's performance is not as good as the team in the top 6. So Leverkusen and Leipzig who are already in the top 4 must win the remaining
3 matches to be in the top 4. Actually Union Berlin caught my attention, after they managed to beat Leipzig, it looks like they are quite motivated
to enter the top 4.
I think Freiburg and Union Berlin have the chance of making something happen because they have been in good form. RB Leipzig has lost their last match and that has certainly paved the way for the teams below to have some chances of making something happen. But it is certain about Bayern Munich and Dortmund. they are obviously playing in the Champions League. Union Berlin was able to beat Leipzig and it was a great outing for them and that has certainly raised some hope for them to compete for the top four spot. |

Gujrat Titans VS Sunrisers Hyderabad
After winning the last 5 matches, Hyderabad is now in their best form. And they will want to maintain this continuity against Gujarat today. If Hyderabad can win today's match, they will be able to go to the top of the points table. Hyderabad is now quite stable in both batting and bowling. Almost all the players of the team are in good form now.
On the other hand, the Gujarat team is also quite stable. So today's match will be very competitive. The team that wins this match will want to occupy the top spot in the table. But I will bet for Hyderabad in this match. Which is your choice?
This one is going to be a really hard one to predict because both the teams are playing really well and one team is in the best form because they did not lose even one match in their last five, and the other one is ahead in the points table but they have four wins in their last 5. I am thinking that the toss is going to have an important effect on the outcome of the match because I think the team chasing will have a little advantage. but if I have to guess, I think Gujrat Titans is going to be the winners. |

Manchester United vs Chelsea, it will be an interesting match even though Manchester United are not in good form, but I see the match will still be interesting. Manchester United are more problematic, from the 5 matches they played, they only managed to collect 4 points, lastly they had to lose 2 in a row. Chelsea actually don't have a good record either, so the game for 3 points will happen here.
I think it will be a boring game, a game between 2 teams who have terrible form at the moment; While chelsea has to fight to keep the 3rd position; Manchester United is hopeless and unsure if they want 5th or 9th. Ralf has failed in his role to get results with these Manchester UNited team and it shocking how he still has a job. I think it will be a draw. with MUFC Galvanizing a useless 1 point for their selves. The problem is that there is no continuity of Manchester United's performance. However, if we compare the performance, then Chelsea is undoubtedly the favorite in this match and an easy victory is waiting for them. There is no chance for Manchester United to feel weak. They have a lot of talented players in their squad. But the understanding between their players is not good so they are not getting the expected results. But Manchester United has the ability to win against a team like Chelsea. |

There are a number of evaluations that probably everyone has seen where Manchester City short cross at the defender can always be broken and it's not the only time that this mistake is almost made into a goal. Indeed, while Manchester City is ahead, seeing the opportunities that Mahrez gets is always wasted. After the second half I think Madrid will make some changes which Benzema will use very well. Goals will still be there in the second half. The potential for a draw can now be confirmed that Madrid can take it.
Still, both teams have a chance to win the match. The weakness of Real Madrid is that they rely heavily on Benzema. Benzema is playing well, but it is very difficult to beat Manchester City by relying only on Benzema. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo will have to perform well with Benzema to win. Otherwise, Real Madrid will lose to Guardiola's match strategy today. |

Juventus will visit Sassuolo headquarters, this is an opportunity for Juventus to close to Napoli's position. They are now just four points away as Napoli failed to win in their last match against Empoli. Juventus is also actually in a bad condition. Indeed in this match they are favorites to win the match, but they also have to play well if they want to make that happen.
Napoli have lost points in the last 3 matches. The best time yet for Juventus is to reduce the gap with Napoli. And if Juventus can win against Sassuolo today, then Juventus will be only 1 point behind Napoli. However, winning against Sassuolo will not be easy. This team is good enough. And in home matches they are even stronger. However, Sassuolo's defense is very weak. Juventus strikers can only win if they can play well. If Juventus wins this match instead of drawing they will have a great chance of surpassing Napoli in the points table. Juventus has made a good comeback this season. and if they can end in the top three it will be really great result for them. Their next match is against a weaker opponent so, I believe they will be able to win this match. Like Juventus, Napoli might not drop points in the next matches though because they will also play against Sassuolo next Saturday. |

Can't wait for the semi-final match in the Champions League, both the Manchester City vs Real Madrid match, and the Liverpool vs Villareal match. I want to see how far Villarreal can put up a tight fight for Liverpool. Even though they are not seeded but I still want to see what this representative from Spain will do. But in the end I would still bet on Liverpool to be in the final.
Exactly, Liverpool has demonstrated a good record that show that they will definitely get to final in this tournament. Villarreal cannot stop Liverpool not to enter Final because Liverpool team, has what it takes to defeat Villarreal 3-0 to prove to their fans that this UEFA champion league title belong to them in this season. Real Madrid has proven to their fans that they are more stronger than any other teams, for the victory they got from Chelsea for semi final. Manchester city will use all their power and tactics to defeat Real Madrid to stand for final. In the games against Bayern, Villareal showed that they have a very good defense and very dangerous counterattacks. I think Liverpool will have two very difficult games with them. On the other hand, in the matches with PSG and Chelsea, Real was in a losing situation every time, but each time they somehow got away with it and won and showed how dangerous they are and that they are ready to fight to the end. Manchester City will probably have a small advantage, but they must not relax for a moment because otherwise Real will punish it. Liverpool has what it takes to beat Villareal. But the problem is a lot of people are doubting them because their opponent beat Bayern Munich in their last match. But, I think people need to realize that Liverpool has shown great performance in the English Premier League, and in the English Premier League, they face a lot of order opponents than Bayern Munich does in Bundesliga. And I also think that Villarreal exhausted all their tactics and there is nothing to surprise Liverpool now. |

PSG boss, Mauricio Pochettino will do his best next season in the champions league because he has all the players it takes to win champions league next season. As for the Ligue 1 title, it's a normal cup for Paris Saint German.
Do you think Mauricio Pochettino is experienced enough for a platform like the Champions League? Sorry, I don't think so. Mauricio Pochettino had some of the best players in the world this season. There was an extraordinary squad. He has enough funds to build a strong team. Yet PSG's performance has disappointed us all. Their performance in the Champions League was very poor. So I don't think Mauricio Pochettino will be able to play well in the Champions League if he stays as PSG coach next season. Mauricio Pochettino contract is not going to be renew according to some online news report revealed that he might be sacked thus there is no chance of being in charge of PSG in the next season UCL, the news also stated that Antonio Conte is their preferred candidate for the job infact the name of the purported rumored manager Zidane was not even mentioned. Thought PSG had won this season ligue-1 trophy however the club management is not happy about their exist from UCL despite the arrays of stars in the team, the need to win UCL trophy next prompted them to seek for a more experienced manager. I also heard rumors that PSG management is no longer interested in extending the contract with Mauricio Pochettino. But I heard they would try to bring Zidane to the team as a coach. However, in some news, I have heard that the management of PSG is interested in taking Konte into the team. However, I want PSG's coach to change. Because, I'm not satisfied with Pocchettino. His strategy is not good at all. |

Punjub Kings : Chennai Super KingsPunjab will play against Chennai today. The performance of both these teams is quite poor this season. Punjab has won 3 out of 7 matches and Chennai has won 2 matches. Punjab's batsmen have played very badly in the last two matches. They lost all their wickets for just 115 runs against Delhi and Punjab managed 151 runs against Hyderabad. On the other hand, Chennai's performance in the last few matches was quite good. If Chennai can maintain their streak, they will be able to win against Punjab today.

I actually think after Manchester United is been able to show Harry Maguire the door, Marcus Rashford should follow suit; honestly that should be the best order because I don't see Rashford improving especially in United shirts. He probably would do better in other clubs. For the sake of getting your players I feel Marcus Rashford should at least be given one more season at United. Just maybe he will be better under Erik Ten Hag.
Sorry to disappoint your logic but neither Marcus Rashford nor Harry Maguire will be leaving Old Trafford, and they won't even sit on the bench either. Football fans need to understand that as a footballer there is nothing wrong with having a purple patch (a situation where nothing works in your favor). It is normal; it should not breed hate or abuse from supporters. Ten Hag football style needs Maguire at cb (ball playing prowess), and needs Rashford on the wings (pace and physicality) so they would not be sold. Harry Maguire simply needs to get his confident back; while Marcus needs a break from football to help him recover from 2 major surgeries (back and shoulder). Next season will be a better year for both players Well, I guess we have to wait and see if both these players are going to improve their game. If they can improve their game then it is all ok and I am really not so sure about them being able to up their game again. About them, I really don't think that it is just because of their confidence. I really think they are not at their level when they are playing in Manchester United and the competition is way higher than their level. I think Manchester United can get better players than them. |

In the next few hours, Milan will have to beat Lazio if they want to keep the chance of winning Serie-A.
A lose will make their chance getting lower, a win will make a little pressure to Inter.
Looking at the odds, Milan is not that favorite as the odds for them is more than 2.35 now.
It seems that the match will end in a draw, but betting on BTTS is a better option than betting on moneyline.
It's crucial for Milan, however, that this must be won so that there is hope for later with a win if it happens but Lazio can't be underestimated with a draw that is said to be possible but I think Milan are trying to be optimistic as away. After Napoli failed to win today points further above, Napoli's chances at the end are quite difficult, only Milan and Inter can chase Serie A chances but Milan have a tough challenge tonight with Lazio, but Inter have managed to beat Romo as the tough challenge. Milan will surely have to beat Lazio in this match otherwise they will lose the chance of ending the season as the champions of the league. the problem is Lazio will also surely go for the win because it will put them into the fifth spot and they will be able to play in the Europa League if that happens. Milan versus Lazio is ened up a little while The result is Milan 2 - 1 Lazio |

Will Manchester United ever make it up to the champion leagues as the no longer on the top 5 on the EPL table, the lose to asernal today in the premier league have shown the club weakness.
It is not impossible, there is still a possibility, but I think it will not be easy. Manchester United were one of the teams that sadly performed poorly. After the match they lost yesterday, we can say that they don't have much chance anymore. It is difficult to predict what they will do next season, but their chances of finishing with a good ranking have decreased this year  I no longer see the possibility of Manchester United qualifying for the Champions League. They have played one match more than Arsenal, but are still 6 points behind. Most likely Manchester United will be sixth in the table at the end of the season. There is no shortage of talented and star players in the United squad. Their main weakness is their match strategy, and lack of bonding among the players. If the coaches do not change, their performance will not improve next season. The possibility of Manchester United to enter the Champions League next season is very small even I say it is impossible after they have gone through many bad weeks, now the competition for 4th place in the standings is only fighting over 2 teams between Arsenal and Tottenham. You are right. Manchester United is not playing well against strong teams. They are losing against every renowned team. They will face Chelsea and Liverpool in the next matches. And the idea is that they will lose these two matches as usual. Arsenal and Tottenham, on the other hand, are already far ahead of Manchester United. So the chances of United qualifying for the Champions League are almost nil. |

In the last three seasons we see Mumbai Indians have been a very strong team. They have already proved several times that they are a strong team. But in this event we can see that Mumbai Indians are not able to take such an advantage. If we look at the statistics so far, we can see that they have not won any match so far. Since Mumbai Indians are a very strong team in the book and they have a lot of players to change the match, I can say that Mumbai Indians will be back in the IPL very soon.
I think I am going to disagree with this because obviously they have not played like one of the best teams in the IPL this season and they do have some great players who can perform at any given time. But, I think that is not going to change the fact that they are already behind a lot of points in this year's IPL and it will be really hard for them to climb back up the points table. they could have made the team better by taking young and better players but they chose to go ahead with the team that they had for a long time and that is going to be the main problem for them. |

Anyhow it is a good decision to fine Pant, coach Amre and Thakur for the problem making during the match against Rajasthan Royals. Pant and Amre have been fined 100 per cent of match-fees for the game while Thakur was fined 50 per cent of his match-fees for the game. They shouldn't have done that, and some has mentioned of Ponting not in that place. If he was available, this couldn't have happened. Same time there were more memes getting circulated making those incidents funny.
We have seen this type of thing happen in the past when Shakib Al Hasan tried to call the players off the field. But that was on an international stage and also directly the umpires’ fault. This is not an international stage and looking at things I certainly think that there was some influence behind this. Otherwise, I really think that it should have been called a no-ball because it was clearly one. But, as per rules and what the umpires decided should be like this, after all, the on-field umpire has the higher authority with these types of calls, and once these types of calls are made a third umpire cannot make any changes if the on-field umpires do not ask for it. |

They will play against Barcelona today and they won't have much of a chance, I think they will be beaten Barcelona, a team that has been quite bright lately, only Cadiz has surprised Barcelona's performance in the last few weeks, when they are win 1 goal over Barcelona. But, this probably won't happen to Rayo. Indeed, Rayo cannot also be underestimated, considering that they had held draws against Sevilla and Valencia in the last few weeks match, but facing Barcelona is unlikely to happen. barcelona too strong for them, except Barcelona players make a mistake again, maybe they can be hold barcelona for draw. Maybe unfortunately Barcelona lost to Cadiz. But Barcelona won't make the same mistake again. Barcelona's performance in the last match against Real Sociedad was also quite good. And Barcelona got a beautiful 1-0 win. However, the main goal of Rayo Vallecano in today's match will be to share the points. They will want to score 1 point and stay away from the relegation zone. So Barcelona has to play very carefully today. The defense must be kept strong. |

Although both got the same points but Barcelona still have one game left pending, Sevilla are doing well this season but we still have Atletico Madrid who are currently with a narrow point difference. This competition is tough for Sevilla if they make one or two mistakes and end in defeat, Atletico Madrid will shift their position.
Feel a bit sorry for Sevilla given how they were commanding in the lat game against the LaLiga leaders and eventually fall before them in the end with 3-2 scoreline. Honestly they should have defended well but Madrid really did a heck of a job to find opening under less time and under so much pressure. Now Sevilla have some tough fixtures upcoming and really have to do well in those. Sevilla has certainly done well in this season and in my opinion, they could have done better. I really think that they never thought Barcelona was going to make that type of comeback. In their last match, they also had a win against Levante but it was not really convincing enough in my opinion. In that match against Real Madrid, once again Benzema came to the rescue otherwise they would have walked out with 1 point each. |

Yeah, latest news report that Pogba will not sign an extension with United. Economically this will be a blow for them because Pogba still holds a lot of value but he underperformed for years and him leaving might actually be beneficial for United.
Rudiger is another player that has decided to leave on a free transfer - he waited a while to receive some reassurances from Chelsea but the club is not in a position where they can give any definitive answers. He will probably leave for Spain, although Conte wants him as well.
I think that these players have taken the right decision and I always think that if a player does not find a club suited for him in the future we should not extend his contract. Now it will be interesting to see where these two players will move next. these two players are still really valuable and their market value is also so pretty good. even though they have left their team as free agents. |
