Comparing Pep Guaridola with Xavi alone is a mistake because they are not suitable to be compared to each other. The careers of the two are so different that it would be inappropriate to compare them. It's not that Barcelona doesn't want to look for a new coach, but we know that their finances alone are unable to provide the best facilities for their players to date. Instead of wasting money, it's better to use what is already available. Xavi may not be a good coach, but is there another coach who is willing to manage a club with minimal finances?

There is no choice for Barcelona, if they want to improve the squad then improve their finances first.
So far we often compare players with other players, as well as one coach with another coach without looking at the factors causing their success so far, Xavi and Guardiola are certainly not worthy of our comparison because indeed they have different abilities and intelligence in coaching a team, so far we know Guardiola is a coach who is quite experienced and able to bring the team he coaches to become champions,  The number of trophies he managed to get when coaching Barcelona and Manchester City certainly makes us consider Guardiola a great coach so far.

As for Xavi, it is precisely the novice coach who coached Barcelona so far has only been able to provide one La Liga trophy, but have we all thought if Xavi coached Barcelona during his heyday like Guardiola did?
Of course Xavi might be able to surpass all the achievements of Guardiola at that time, Xavi managed to bring Barcelona La Liga champions in his first season coaching Barcelona which is in poor financial condition as it is today, let's imagine if their financial condition was stable as in the past?
So far, Xavi has coached Barcelona with poor finances but is still able to make Barcelona compete, while Guardiola has Isn't only coached teams that have very strong finances?

Indeed Bernando Silva have dreaming for playing with Barcelona but need waiting until his contract expiry based on last market values release reach above 80 million become very large amount for Barcelona. I doubt how possibility will pay most expensive fees transfer and Manchester City won't get the same clause transfer before with Ferran Torres by credit payment not fully.

Barcelona's financial not stable yet and still face difficulty for debt payment every season, I think better waiting until Bernando Silva's contract expiry with Manchester City until 2026 and has chance to sign him as free agent. But I doubt will Manchester City keep him until his contract expiry because he has top performed and has chance for The Citizen will sell him to the other teams want to pay more higher fees transfer before becoming free agent player or his contract over.
Bernardo Silva has been Manchester City's main player all along, so I think Guardiola will try to keep Silva if there are other clubs who want to buy him, in recent weeks Silva has said he wants to find a new challenge in other leagues especially La Liga, but strangely somehow he prefers to play in Barcelona compared to other teams in La Liga,  Silva's performance so far in my opinion is quite good at Manchester City so it is not difficult for Manchester City to sell him if indeed Silva no longer wants to stay at the Etihad Stadium, so far he has a market value of 85 million euros, but reportedly Silva has a very cheap release clause of only 50 million euros, Barcelona is currently in poor financial condition but getting players from Manchester City is not a difficult thing for Barcelona without Have to wait for the player to be free transfer.

So far we know that Barcelona and Guardiola have a good relationship, while Manchester City have full confidence in Guardiola, so I think only with a little pressure from Guardiola that Manchester City will release Silva to Barcelona next season, off course you remember when Barcelona signed Fernando Torres from Manchester City, at that time Barcelona finances were deteriorating but they managed to bring Ferran Torres for 55 million euros and even Manchester City at that time rejected the offer of another club and chose to release Ferran Torres to Barcelona who only chose to pay in installments every season.

After Man City was knocked out, Real Madrid may be the favorites in the Champions League this season. But if they have to play at home to Bayern Munich, I think this will be a tough match for Real Madrid. Bayern Munich has not really had an impressive performance this season but when they played in the Champions League they seemed to have a fairly consistent performance. I hope this will be an interesting spectacle and that both teams will tend to play open and offensive games. I also feel that this will be a match that will probably end in a draw.
The two teams met too soon in the quarter-finals so we seem to have seen the Champions League final this season too soon, with Madrid still holding on of course they are favourites to win this season on the condition that they must beat Bayern Munich today, maybe PSG we can say one of the teams that has a greater chance of reaching the final than Dortmund,  Although actually PSG may be difficult to beat Dortmund, but if later PSG can reach the final of course there will be no doubt if PSG will not be able to beat Madrid later, although PSG is indeed a team full of stars but for now their mentality to play in the Champions League is still very doubtful in my opinion in winning the Champions League trophy.

Talking about the semi-final between Bayern Munich and Madrid, of course it will be an interesting spectacle, especially since both teams have a very good mentality and experience in the Champions League, for now indeed both teams have inversely proportional performance in the domestic league but for the Champions League, of course both will have the same performance and mentality to be able to win the game later in order to reach the final round.

PSG was the most expensive club and nothing surprise when team was totally owning the league like this time. It means that if PSG is consistently using all of its resources. It will be so dumb if PSG will not able to dominate this competition since it's owning everything.
PSG is the only club that has more than 1 billion valuation. The domination from PSG for league one is just getting started. We will see more domination in the upcoming season.
PSG has now won Ligue 1 even though the season is not over, PSG with its financial strength is certainly not surprising if they can dominate the league so easily because there is no other strong team that can block PSG, but indeed the league championship is too easy for them as if unable to lift PSG's performance playing in European competitions, especially the Champions League,  Sometimes their play in European competitions does not show as a team with a winning mentality in the league, unlike what we see with Madrid and Manchester City today who also have strong financial strength.

The valuation owned by PSG is of course several times that of other teams in the league but strangely in some matches PSG was not able to achieve positive results in the league, if we say dominance of course we cannot deny if PSG dominance has begun since they were owned by Nasser Al-Khelafi and we can see their frequent winning of consecutive French domestic league trophies is clear evidence of PSG dominance.

The semi-finals in the Saudi Arabian King's Cup will probably be quite easy to predict, namely Al-Nassr will probably be the favorite. Because Al-nassr is lucky to only face Al-khaleej in the semi-finals. In contrast to Al-ittihad who seem unlucky because they will face Al-hilal in the semi-finals. And maybe Al-hilal will beat AL-ittihad again. So it looks like we can predict the final match, namely that it will probably be between Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr. I hope Talisca can also play again. But until now I have not read the news that Talisca has recovered. But hopefully when the time comes this player can return to the field and play with Cristiano Ronaldo and Mane on the front lines.

Against al khaleej is certainly not an easy match actually for Al Nassr, although indeed in that match al nassr are favourites to win, previously al nassr had faced al khaleej in the league and al nassr who were previously predicted to win easily had to struggle against al khaleej and they only narrowly won 0-1 in that the match even then they had to wait 68 minutes to score,  the league match of course is no longer meaningful for Al Khaleej because indeed their position in the table is no longer possible to reach the top 5 with only 5 games left, so I think they may no longer play fully against Al Nassr in the league, but in the semi-finals, I think it is difficult to say if Al Nassr can win because after all Al Khaleej will play all out to be able to reach the final round.

The Al Hillal match against Al Ittihad will of course be very fierce, because indeed both teams have a pretty good performance at the moment, but I think in the next match Al Hillal will be able to beat Al Ittihad because so far the mentality possessed by Al Hillal is very extraordinary, especially maybe the defeat to Al Ain in the AFC champions league will trigger them to be able to take revenge for get the Saudi Arabian King trophy this season.

The only team that might be able to stop City right now, enough to give Arsenal a chance is Tottenham. Arsenal won today against Tottenham so I'm definitely sure that Tottenham might have the biggest upset lining up for City and I'd be there if it happens no matter what.

For the Golden boot, until the last game, I'm going to say that its still in the wild. Players like Watkins and Palmer can easily get a hattrick one of these days and surpass him.
Manchester City have an easy game left this season to win the Premier League trophy, maybe many of us here think Tottenham is the most difficult opponent and may be able to stop Manchester City journey this season in winning the title, but instead I think Tottenham will be the easiest opponent for Manchester City compared to other teams, maybe it's a little strange when I say it because Tottenham are currently one of the strongest teams in the Premier League, but I think the Tottenham factor is Arsenal eternal rival is a strong reason if Manchester City will easily beat Tottenham.

It's simple, of course no team in any league really wants to see their eternal rivals to be champhionship, as well as Tottenham, of course they don't want to see Arsenal can end the season with a championship trophy because it will be a wound for Tottenham fans later, so in my opinion Tottenham will indeed play all out in the game but to win of course it is difficult for us to see because indeed I am quite sure if Tottenham will let Manchester City won to thwart Arsenal chances of champhioship.
247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 29, 2024, 10:21:34 AM
Real Madrid has to win at least 2 more matches to lock in the La Liga title this season. I think they will be able to do very well, because if they fail to become champions it will be something that will make them very disappointed with the superiority they currently hold. There is no reason for Real Madrid not to be champions this season, because they are better and have a greater distance in points from their competitors.

They will also focus on the Champions League, in the Champions League themselves they will face Bayern Munich in the semifinals, it is not something easy for them. However, they are the team with the highest chance of becoming champions this season. Bayern Munich is also in a bad situation, so they have to be able to take advantage of it all to be in the final. If they are in the final then we know what they are like, yes they are a team with a very high winning percentage when playing the final.

Madrid only need to win 1 more game to be able to ensure the La Liga trophy is theirs this season, against Cadiz in week 34 can actually be a champion stage for Madrid because with the achievement of 3 points will make Madrid leave Girona with a difference of 13 points even though Girona wins, because the season will only leave 4 (4x3=12) remaining matches so it is impossible for Girona to catch up Madrid,  Madrid this season has an outstanding performance even though in fact at the beginning of the season they went very slowly, initially I thought the La Liga title competition would be determined until the last game of the season but unfortunately the performance of Girona and Barcelona which suffered a drastic decline in the middle of the season made Madrid managed to run alone without pressure from the two teams.

In addition to getting closer to winning the La Liga trophy this season, of course the Champions League is another main target of Ancelotti this season for them to get, a difficult journey has been passed by Madrid to eliminating the defending champions League champion last season, so I think they are only one step away from being able to reach the final round and of course Bayern  can be an opponent that will be difficult later,  Bayern current performance is certainly worth watching out for Madrid, because currently Tuchel squad has great motivation to end the season with a Champions League trophy after they failed in the domestic league.
248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 29, 2024, 09:59:16 AM
The dream season is still going on for Leverkusen. 46 games unbeaten... This is insane! I was really excited while watching that last minute free-kick and they really did it again. Maybe with a little help of their luck on that goal too but still.  Wink  Xabi Alonso is not just making do with breaking a record. He is still improving it with a huge streak.



It says 44 because of being shared like 10 days ago. Anyways from now on I'm concentrated on what they will do in the Europa League. I'm not even saying DFB Pokal because it seems like an easy win for Leverkusen considering the strength of the opponent, Kaiserslautern. In the Europa League too I believe they will be able to make it to the title.  Smiley

Quite spectacular indeed Leverkusen's performance this season, even though they have secured the Bundesliga championship trophy this season but still Xabi Alonso refused to lose their matches, like in yesterday's match where when Leverkusen no longer had hope of winning until the 90+5th minute instead they made another extraordinary comeback to make the score a 2-2 draw with Stuttgart while keeping 46 games without defeat this season,  I don't know what makes Leverkusen's mentality so strong that until now they are very difficult to beat and of course we don't find that happening in other teams in the top 5 European leagues at the moment.

At this time, of course, Leverkusen has a great chance to get a treble winner after they still stay in the Europa League and also DFB Pokal, even if they face a Bundesliga 2nd division team, but I think Alonso will still not underestimate Kaiserslautern at this time, because after all, Kaiserslautern's ability to reach the final, of course, it is possible for Kaiserslautern to make a surprise in the final match later,  In addition, the difficult match against Roma will certainly also test Leverkusen mentality and Consistency later, because so far Roma have been strong enough and they have the ability to be able to thwart Leverkusen plans to win the trophy later.
249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: April 29, 2024, 09:37:05 AM
Without us realizing that our focus is now on Leverkusen, they have become a hot topic of conversation and are always the main topic. This is normal because they are truly extraordinary and deserve to be appreciated. They are a very strong team this season, not a single team has managed to beat them, that is a very extraordinary record for Xabi Alonso's men.
However, they have to prove themselves in the European League by becoming champions, for example, because now they are the team that is the main favorite to become champion compared to the other 3 teams in the semifinals. Their first step must be to beat AS Roma to enable them to place themselves in the final round and meet either Marseille or Atalanta. I will not discuss them in the final, because they must be able to complete their task in the 2 legs they will play against AS Roma.
Leverkusen have shown quite good consistency this season so it is very natural that they can go so far now, their ability to beat every opponent they face is certainly one of the reasons we are  favourites Leverkusen to win the Europa League this season, now we are in the semi-finals of the Europa League which is full of surprises, since the beginning Leverkusen have been favourites to reach the semi-finals this season so I think not too Surprising us though Leverkusen are still able to maintain an unbeaten record to this day in Europe and the Bundesliga.

The surprise I think came from the other three who reached the semi-finals at the moment, Atlanta, Roma and also Marseille of course no one expected them to reach the semi-finals, because previously it was Liverpool, Atlanta and Benfica who were predicted to be able to be in the semi-finals, for now of course Leverkusen is the only strongest team predicted to be able to win the Europa League title, But I think it will still not be easy because after all Roma will definitely make it difficult for them later.

Just like you rightly stated, the situation of the top two teams in the English Premier League is same as it were coming into the last  the weekend as league leaders Arsenal were able to hold to secure a win against Tottenham Hotspur while Manchester City on the other side were also able to win against Nottingham Forest. Arsenal wants to break their 20-year jinx of not winning the English Premier League title while the reigning champions of England Manchester City wants to win the league title for the fourth consecutive time so I expect Mikel Arteta's men to be more determined to win the title ahead of others.
The interesting end to the English Premier League campaign would've been more dramatic and nervous if Liverpool were still very much in the race but even in their poor end to the season, English Premier League fans I think will still be thrilled with what Manchester City and Arsenal will give them

When all the top European leagues have a team that is confirmed to win this season, but in the Premier League we will still see how all possibilities can happen until the last game of the season, currently Manchester City and Arsenal are still competing fiercely to be championship the Premier League, both teams of course have different visions this season as you said but still their mission is the same which is to win the Premier League,  The competition might have been much more exciting had Liverpool not been out of the winning path sooner this season, but indeed in conditions and also the pressure that is getting heavier towards the end of the season will certainly test the mentality and consistency of each team.

For now Arsenal is 1 point ahead of Manchester City, but Manchester City actually has a greater advantage with 1 postponed match that they have not played, so I think Arteta is required to continue to be able to maintain consistency and also the performance of their players in order to keep winning the remaining games and certainly hope Manchester City will drop points at least in one their remaining games this season.
251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 29, 2024, 08:18:14 AM
Atalanta are still very consistent with the good results they have achieved and this time they are still continuing their positive trend after beating Monza with a score of 2 goals without reply. It seems that Atalanta has never given up at all in the competition for a place in European competition and even though they experienced setbacks some time ago, now they are much better.

Meanwhile, Monza continues to experience a negative trend and still hasn't won a single win in its last 5 matches. I thought at first they could be relied on enough to fill a place in European competitions but it seems I was wrong and again they remain a weak team that sometimes lacks stability in competition. But if this defeat continues, the most worrying thing is that they could fall into the relegation zone. Even though this opportunity is very small, it is still very worrying for Monza.
Slowly but surely now Atlanta is starting to try to compete for a better position in the league, the victory over Monza certainly gives hope for Atlanta to be able to compete again for a place in the Champions League zone next season, a 2-0 victory over Monza and a draw obtained by Roma and also Bologna in other matches certainly still provide opportunities for Atlanta even though this season only has 4 games left,  To finish the season in the Champions League of course Atlanta have to win every game they have because after all they have easier games left than Roma and Bologna at the moment, I think this season Atlanta is a little late to be consistent because they have wasted a lot of points in the middle of the season.

Atlanta currently has a more busy schedule than Rome and Bologna, so I think Atlanta should still be able to focus on getting Champions League tickets next season, Coppa Italia and also Europa League this season, two competitions for trophies are still going on and Atlanta should be able to maintain the performance and stamina of their players well to be able to get both trophies,  I think this season has been the best season for Atlanta because surprise by reaching the Coppa Italia final and also the semi-finals of the Europa League.

I do not think that Barcelona did "badly" though. They are second behind only Real Madrid and Barcelona has been second behind Barcelona a million times before, not like this is a new thing. Secondly they went as far as quarter finals and nearly reached semi finals at UCL as well, which is a great thing and I believe definitely something that we could see happening as well.

So all in all I believe that we are not getting that much of a trouble, Xavi has done well, plus last year he won the league title with a team he made from scraps of what was left from previous manager and a few tiny additions that are long gone and nowhere to be found. So all in all I think he is a good manager and he will do much better if given some more time, he builds the future of Barcelona.
I think Xavi has done an amazingly good job at Barcelona and that's why the management keeps asking Xavi to stay at Barcelona after Xavi decided to leave at the end of the season, I think it would be difficult for any coach to keep a club competing at the top with all the financial problems, but Xavi has shown us how he did at Barcelona with the current deteriorating financial situation, of course, runner up in La Liga and a Champions League quarter-final is an incredible achievement and would even be difficult by other coaches for achieve if they coaching Barcelona at this time.

Xavi since the beginning of his arrival to Barcelona is of course very underestimated because he does not have as much experience as Koeman, but in fact he is able to answer all the challenges that exist currently at Barcelona, so I really agree with you if indeed Xavi wants to stay longer at Barcelona of course he can restore the glory of Barcelona in the future, at this time of course Xavi needs full support from the management and also Barcelona fans to be able to restore the glory of Barcelona Although only with the little budget they currently have

Real Madrid is nicknamed the king of the Champions League, they are the team that has won the most Champions League titles and are also the only team that has won the title 3 times in a row, that is an extraordinary achievement that could possibly happen. quite difficult for other teams to follow.
In terms of mentality, Real Madrid were very strong when competing in the Champions League and for the semifinal match against Bayern, I think it's natural that they are favorites because the quality/performance of the team this season is quite impressive and they have also managed to beat the defending champions and favorites this season, namely Manchester City and because of that of course Real Madrid's percentage of being able to win the title has now greatly increased.
But does that make Madrid guaranteed to beat Munich easily and win the Champions League this season?
Of course not, at the moment all teams that have reached the semi-finals are of course favourites to win the Champions League, indeed Madrid is the ruler of Europe but I think 90x2 minutes in any match can happen, at the moment Madrid come with high confidence as the favorite team as you say, but we all know that Munich also come with high motivation after they failed in the Bundesliga,  So I think both teams will of course play all out in the match to get the victory.

Both teams have the same mentality and experience in playing in the Champions League, so for sure both teams will be able to see what they will do in the game, especially so far the two teams have met several times and as a result they played quite a draw so it will be difficult for us to say Madrid will be able to win easily against Bayern Munich,  Munich, who have never been favourites this season, certainly have the potential to surprise Madrid and I think Ancelotti should beware of that.

Don't be too surprised by the results of the PSG vs Le Havre match, because a team that is weaker than Le Havre even held PSG to a draw twice this season namely Clermont and another weak team that managed to hold PSG to a draw is Lorient, and you can see how PSG this season achieved 10x the results draw, maybe PSG underestimated their opponents because they were just a team that was in the relegation zone, but this draw did not prevent PSG from confirming the Ligue 1 title before the match against Dortmund because Lyon managed to beat Monaco so that PSG's points could no longer be chased by their competitors.

Will a draw from Le Havre make PSG a doubtful team in the match against Dortmund? I think not because you can see that even though PSG will be away team in the first match, they have odds that are not much different from Dortmund and their opponents have just lost badly to their rivals in the Bundesliga, so overall PSG can be said to be better than Dortmund, but that's true it's not a guarantee that PSG will win.
The draw obtained by PSG against Le Havre was really embarrassing, PSG's reserve players should have been able to take advantage of the game to win and win Ligue 1 this season, I thought that by fielding reserve players, PSG would be able to win easily against Le Havre who were in the relegation zone, but it turned out that I was wrong because Le Havre played better than PSG,  PSG almost had to postpone their championship celebrations this season if Monaco won from Lyon, but now PSG had to thank Lyon because  Lyon victory allowed PSG to celebrate today's championship after Lyon beat Monaco with a score of 3-2.
 
In 3 days we will see the first leg of the semi-final between Dortmund and PSG played, although both teams had poor results in the league this week, but I think it will not have too much effect on their performance in the Champions League later, PSG and Dortmund will of course field the their best squad in the match will be because indeed both for now are only focused on Champions League matches while the league of course they will only play half-heartedly, because of the different situations of the two teams in the league at the moment.

Ronaldo and Messi will always have special places for us. I have grown up by watching them from their first shining times to this moment. It has really been a great privilege to watch these great world stars.  Smiley  These players are already legends for me. People like to make comparison between them but I don't find it right. They don't even play in the same roles.

And I agree, there are always going to be great talents to be watched. The past generations were also watching such talents like Maradona, Pele and many more to be said.

I hope one day players like Yamal would also be remembered as legends.  Smiley
The golden era of Maradona and Pele has long ended and we finally see how two GOAT continue to compete to continue to break records to continue to be the best, the fiercest European football they have shown about how hard work, skill, and talent continue to be a controversy that makes the rivalry even hotter so far, we should indeed not compare them both because indeed they have the capacity and character of the game that It's different, so it's not for us to compare who is the best of the best between the two of them, in my opinion Ronaldo and Messi are on the same level, the same great and the same the best at the moment.

Lamine Yamal has transformed into a player who continues to be predicted to replace Messi in the future has shown his extraordinary talent and ability at this time, I think of course maybe Arda Guler who may also have quite good skills and talents will of course be able to become a competitor for Lamine Yamal in the future, seeing these two players certainly reminds us of the rivalry of two GOAT when he was still playing for Madrid and Barcelona,  So I think maybe the two of them (Arda Guler and Lamine Yamal) will continue the tradition of rivalry that has been going on between Barcelona and Madrid.

Everton managed to win against Brentford and increased their chances of staying in the league.I don't think they will have any more problems after this time.I think it is time for Everton, who managed to hold on to the league, to start planning for the next season.It is obvious that they need to change something after such a bad season.Everton, who scored a goal with one shot against Brentford, will not have a season close to the relegation zone if they make a good squad structure next season.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, drew 2-2 with Chelsea at home.Aston Villa, who closed the first half 2-0 ahead, will be in Totthenham's favor to lose such points at home.Totthenham now has 3 games less and the point difference with its rival is 7. Totthenham can get the chance to overtake Aston Villa if it wins all 3 of the 3 matches it will play.Chelsea, which managed to increase its pressure in the second half, managed to leave the match with 1 point.
After being slaughtered by Chelsea finally Everton was able to rise and currently they have won three games in a row including against Liverpool, Everton hope to survive this season is of course still there after they continue to get points deducted this season, with 3 more games of course it is impossible for the relegated team to catch up with Everton who are now 10 points away from Nottingham Forest which is in the safe zone,  I think Everton could have reached the top 10 this season if not get the points deducted , this season staying in the Premier League is certainly Everton's main target because that's all they can do, and of course we will see improvements happen next season to make Everton a strong team again.

The 2-2 draw became a result that Chelsea fans should be grateful for in the match, because they almost lost until the first half ended, getting 1 point in the match with the remaining 5 games is certainly not a positive result, because indeed Chelsea chances of ending the season in the Conference League zone next season are of course getting more difficult, I think it's the second worst season after last season also chelsea ended the season in 12th place in the Premier League table.

The French laugh has turned out to be the worse farmers league ever, so predictable, only PSG topping the league every season with no challenge at all from other teams, and worse of all is when PSG  faves off against other top teams form other league you find out that they are not close to been the best out there.

Just imagine what the future of PSG would be without mbapee, a mess cause I hardly see what they woudl play when all the stars are off from the club, although they are rich enough to buy new players for themselves.
Since the arrival of investors to take over PSG's shares a few years ago, PSG has turned drastically into a giant that is able to dominate Ligue 1 so far without any competition from other teams that are able to collapse PSG at this time, the financial strength possessed by PSG at this time certainly makes other teams only able to compete for second place because the trophy is only a dream for rival teams in Ligue 1,  even if there is another team that surprises by being able to win Ligue 1 of course we must to wait even almost 10 seasons like what happened by Lille last 2021 season, for now I think there will be no other team that might be the strongest opponent in Ligue if there is no team that can match PSG finances at this time.

After PSG dominated Ligue 1, of course, made Ligue 1 a farmers' league because Ligue 1 was only dominated by one top team without any competition from other teams, so indeed among the top 5 European leagues at this time it was Ligue that did not have prestige compared to other leagues, for now the fierce competition in the league certainly tested the team's mentality and we will never see this at PSG,  Because their mentality has never been tested in the league so when PSG play outside Ligue 1 (champions league) of course PSG have a bad mentality.

For the past two years they have been poor,as they almost bottled the Bundesliga League Competition last season, thanks to Borrussia Dortmund who couldn't make good use of what opportunity they had.

Thomas Tuchel just fumbled it again this season. Injuries and his strategies caused all of it though, I won't put all of the blame on him but he had a hand in this matters.
Carlo Ancellotti has a good record in the Champions League Competition against Bayern Munich and we'll see what can be done. Can remember Thomas Tuchel winning Real Madrid with Chelsea.

Mine, is not just about Bayern Munich, they all have won stuff's in a way, it's all about Harry Kane. Lad deserves silverwares to beautify his career profile.
Their poor performance this season of course made them never again seeded in the Champions League, last season's change of coach made many changes to the Bayern Munich squad on the negative side, but after many slumps I think we cannot relate this to the injuries that befell Bayern Munich because indeed at that time only two Bayern players were injured namely Coman and Gnabri and even then they had managed to anticipate with The arrival of Bryan Zaragoza, but from the slump that befell Bayern Munich in domestic competitions, of course fans should be grateful because currently Bayern Munich can still compete in the Champions League.

Against Madrid in the semi-finals of course makes Bayern Munich's journey will be quite difficult, because at the moment Madrid are the strongest team competing in the Champions League, but I think Tuchel still has a great chance to win the Champions League this season regardless of their status as underdogs this season, I think in this match will be a match that relies on intelligence in the application of the game strategy of both coaches,  Facing Madrid, of course, Bayern Munich need all their players in top condition and of course Kane will be the hope and differentiator for Munich later in breaking down Madrid's defense.

According to Italian broadcaster RAI, Conte has already agreed terms with Napoli which include a lucrative three-year contract valued at €6.5 million (£5.56m/$7m) per season. Additionally, Conte is said to have inserted a clause whereby Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis will refrain from sharing his opinion in football-related matters, granting the manager complete autonomy in team affair

It really surprises me if this news will be real. We must also wait for the further development regarding the rumor about conte accepts napoli's offer after he has rejected it a few times. It seems like that the salary has become the main problem why conte was rejecting it. he is now agree with the new offer coming from napoli.
I never expect that if conte is doing U turn after he was rejecting it last weeks. Im sure that if this is also surprising a lot of people.
Reportedly at this time Napoli has reached an agreement with Conte to coach Napoli for the next 3 seasons, if the news is true of course next season Napoli will be in the right hands to be able to compete in the Scudetto race, currently Napoli's performance is very bad and even they have no chance at all to be able to end the season in the Champions League zone next season,  After winning the Scudetto last season Napoli's form has slowly continued to decline and even after Spalletti stepped down as Napoli coach after get the Scudetto, Napoli have continued to change coaches this season but none of these coaches have been able to lift Napoli's performance to be better.


So far Conte is aware of the nature of Aurelio De Laurentiis who continues to interfere in Napoli's coaching affairs as the cause of Spalletti's withdrawal at that time, so I think it is very natural that Conte continues to reject Napoli offer before there is a black and white agreement that there should be no interference Aurelio De Laurentiis in every decision taken by Conte on the team,  Next season I think Conte will be able to make changes to the Napoli squad if indeed he gets a lot of budget to fix his squad next season, which is the question now, will Osimhen still leave Napoli next season or not ,becuase indeed Napoli are now in the right hands?

But we can't underestimate AS Roma and they have experience in this competition, maybe AS Roma played badly in Serie A but we have to remember that they reached this stage with struggle meaning they also have power, Leverkusen does look stronger from all sides but sometimes we don't know when good and bad days will come. For now I don't recommend betting on 1x2 because there are clear risks who knows, AS Roma might try to draw and rely on penalties so when they are under penalty then the chances of both teams are 50:50.

The match against Roma will of course test Leverkusen's mentality and also performance in maintaining their unbeaten record this season, so far I think Roma will be their toughest opponent during the Europa League competition, so far we can see how Leverkusen is able to maintain the consistency of its game when it comes to facing 3 tight competitions that do demand consistency in the game,  At the moment I think Roma will be Leverkusen's toughest opponent to win the championship trophy this season as well as to open their chances of winning the treble.

What you said is true, so far Roma should no longer be in doubt since de Rossi coached, Roma this season certainly has high motivation to be able to win the championship trophy after they failed to compete in Serie A in the scudetto race, besides that Roma's failure in the Europa League final last season is certainly a reference and motivation for them to beat Leverkusen in the semifinal match later,  I personally favour Leverkusen this season but still dare not underestimate Roma who are full of surprises this season.
