We'll have to see how Girona goes through the transfer market this summer, it looks like Atletico are serious about getting Dovbyk and I think this could be decisive for Girona as to how much they can hold on to their squad. If they can keep all the key players and strengthen the team, they can count on repeating the results they achieved this season, if they sell off players in the desire to make a good profit, then the result will be appropriate.

Girona, which has performed quite impressively this season, is of course a factor of their players who have quality and also quite good performance, apart from the strategic support of coaches who do can read the opponent game, Girona performance this season is like Leverkusen and Bologna who are able to rise after a long time they are mediocre teams in their respective leagues,  Girona in particular of course we are quite surprised by everything they have shown this season and no one even thinks if they can compete at the top of the La Liga table this season with Madrid and Barcelona, Girona ability is very noticeable when they are able to beat big teams and also rich even if we look at the team they beat has a more impressive squad than Girona which only contains makeshift players.

Like other teams that are able to show their performance, of course Girona players are also starting to become the target of other teams to recruit, the most prominent Girona player is Artem Dovbyk who is able to score 20 goals this season for Girona in La Liga, bought at a low price but now Girona has received a pretty fantastic offer to buy Artem Dovbyk at this time,  I think with so many offers coming in on Artem Dovbyk at the moment, it is certainly a confusion for Girona at the moment whether to opt for big money or keep Artem Dovbyk next season.

Another on that list of letting loose and retirement is Luka Modric, these guys have played there hearts out for Real Madrid, had the admiration of the fans and a lot in trophies to show for it. They’ve had such a successful career thus far with the team and retiring with such glory would be a way to end it.

Though it’s quite early to talk about what to expect in the champions league final, I think Real Madrid is going to claim their title once again, it’s not the underdogs game, nope, Real Madrid is the one team you don’t hope to see in a champions league finals. They’ve got all they need and it takes to lift the trophy and that I know they will.
Real Madrid is trying to regenerate its squad this season by continuing to bring in young players, the arrival of some young players must of course force Madrid to release some old players, currently Modric is of course one of the old players they let go while Kross looks like he will indeed be projected for another season as a player who might be able to share experience with young players next season,  Ancelotti is starting to try to build a third volume of Los Galaticos so I think they are starting to target and gather a standout young star player to fill every line in their squad next season.

Kross and Modric have been putting all their abilities into Madrid for a long time, so indeed they deserve to be honored as living legends of Madrid today, next season we no longer see Modric in Madrid midfield because indeed Madrid have decided to no longer renew the contract, and reportedly there are currently several clubs that are indeed in talks to sign Modric as a free agent next season so I Think it is very likely that Modric will play in a league that is not as tight as La Liga later.

Chelsea will definitely try to win at home to Nottingham Forest this weekend, because Chelsea is trying to get a better position even though on the other hand, Nottingham Forest is also trying to get points so as not to experience relegation or be overtaken by Luton Town. I think the Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea match will be a little more intense because both teams are chasing full points in order to secure their respective positions in a better place.
Both teams are currently targeting victory in order to improve their position in the league, Chelsea is of course still a strong enough team if they meet Nottingham Forest who are currently fighting away from the relegation zone, Chelsea who in the last two games won certainly have great motivation to  win the every game in order to continue to maintain their chances of playing in European competition next season,  In addition, victory will of course make Chelsea further away from Manchester United who in other matches will face a difficult match against Arsenal, if you look at the performance of both teams, of course I will make Chelsea the favorite in the match later.

Chelsea are currently starting to rise after a series of bad results they received but even so, of course Chelsea also cannot underestimate Nottingham Forest in the game later, because for now Nottingham Forest is also in a difficult condition in the standings, although they are currently in the relegation safe zone, they must get 3 points if they do not want to drop to the relegation zone,  Luton and Nottingham Forest only have a difference of 3 points so we can say that Nottingham Forest is also still likely to be relegated if they cannot take advantage of the remaining 2 matches to win.

Arsenal will play against Manchester United and Everton in the remaining two matches. If this was a different time, I might have said that Manchester United is not an easy opponent. But now I think it is not going to be wrong to actually say that Manchester United is Easy work for Arsenal. And of course, Everton should be easier. Arsenal should be able to win both of those matches without any big problems.

But even though Arsenal is in the first position of the table, Manchester City has played one match less compared to them and is only one point behind them. So there is every chance that either of these teams are actually going to win the English Premier League title. Now I think there is a chance that Manchester City is going to draw against Tottenham. and I don’t know what is going to happen at the end of the season but right now Manchester City does not have a good enough goal difference to be ahead of Arsenal by being on the same points. So this is definitely going to be very interesting last couple of weeks.

Arsenal have managed to go far now by still giving tough competition to Manchester City in the race for the EPL title this season, 36 games have been passed by Arsenal to be at the top of the table and now there are only two crucial games left to be able to ensure Arsenal the title if Manchester City drop points in their remaining matches,  I think Arsenal cannot underestimate Manchester United and Everton even though their current performance is in poor condition, if Arsenal underestimate the two teams it is not impossible Arsenal will experience what happened to Liverpool today, now Arsenal chance to win the EPL is only by winning the rest of the game and of course on the condition that Manchester City will lose their remaining one game later.   

Arsenal in recent seasons have started to be contenders for the championship but still Arteta must be able to lift the morale and also the consistency of his players next season, the remaining two games of course have the potential to surprise Arsenal and that's why I think if Everton and Manchester United might be a stumbling block for Arsenal later.

Frankly, I'm not very hopeful about Rome. After Leverkusen, they will go away to Atalanta. They will probably lose points there. The result of this match will be critical to determine the continuation of the league. If Atalanta wins, even Lazio has a chance to overtake Rome. They made a good breakthrough with De Rossi this year, but it will be very difficult to complete these breakthroughs. It is now the end of the league and every team will play with maximum performance.
Roma burden in the game against Leverkusen is of course very heavy because the game will be a hope for Roma to continue on the path of winning the Europa League this season if they can beat Leverkusen today with a score of 3-0, although they have hope to stay in the Europa League but I think Roma's chances of beating Leverkusen are very small,  In recent weeks Roma have had a difficult and hectic fixture schedule, last week they were matched by Juventus after previously being beaten by Leverkusen in the first leg and after facing Leverkusen today, Roma had to return to a difficult match against Atlanta.

Both teams are still fighting in the Europa League and I think the team that has better squad depth will win the match, yes because after the second leg of the Europa League semi-final, Atlanta and Roma only have 3 days to restore the performance and stamina of their players to be ready to make a very decisive match for both teams, but in my opinion Atlanta has a greater chance of winning the week 36 match later, because Atlanta will play in Italy in the second leg today, while Roma of course have to travel far enough to go to Germany so they have little time to rest, Roma chance of being above Atlanta seems to be difficult especially Atlanta has 1 more game left than Roma at this time.

For this season it seems like it is a bit too late for Lyon to recover even though Lyon still has a chance to take one of the places in the European Cup next season. And Lyon's victory at home to Lille has prevented Lille from getting an immediate UCL spot even though Lille still has a chance to take the top three positions in Ligue1 this season. Because Lille is not far enough behind Brest. But it will always not be easy for a team like Lille and also for Lyon, because Lyon was a bit late in making a comeback this season.
The victory over Lille certainly increases Lyon motivation at the moment to continue to be able to win in their remaining games, to be able to compete in the Champions League zone this season of course it is too late for Lyon because they wasted too many points at the beginning and middle of this season, but I think of course for now Lyon must be able to focus their attention to at least be able to play in the Europa League next season,  Moreover, so far Lyon has an easier remaining match for them to get full points, besides that the difference in points owned by Lyon with Lens and Nice is not too far, Lyon in the remaining two matches will only face Clermont Foot and Strasbourg which are relatively easy opponents for them, while Nice and Lens actually have the remaining difficult opponents and have the potential to lose points.

Mathematically Lyon chances of playing in the Europa League next season are wide open if they can get 6 points from the remaining two games, I think it is more realistic for Lyon this season to try to get a ticket to the Europa League than to their team with targets that may be difficult to achieve, but of course Lyon may also be able to benefit from defeats to Lille and Nice later in the race for Champions League tickets next season.

If Pochettino leaves then Chelsea will be worse, that's in my opinion because we saw last season when Chelsea made several coaching changes but none of them were successful.
Pochettino is a coach who has good qualities and this season we can see that there is slowly increasing quality for Chelsea even though at the moment they are far behind, but the positive thing is that there is development in this team so it is possible that next season they can do even better.
I hope Pochettino is retained by Chelsea, and I am sure now that Pochettino is able to make Chelsea even better, everything requires a process and Pochettino is doing that.
Chelsea are currently considering Pochettino future at Stamford Bridge, I think it is very natural Chelsea do because indeed this season Chelsea performance has been inconsistent, lucky for Pochettino in the last game they can win and make them now able to compete in the Europa League zone after Manchester United also suffered a defeat to Crystal Palace,  If you look at Chelsea's game this season of course you know why the fans are getting fed up with Pochettino, Chelsea game this season is quite bad and we can even see they just make passes backwards and sideways without any meaningful goals and not make the opponent depressed.

But in the last two games we can see they play more attractive by having a fast tempo to dismantle the opponent defense and the players are starting to dare to have possession so that the opponent is a little frustrated in chasing the ball, besides that in the last two games we can see Chelsea game scheme is more arranged so that it can threaten the opponent defense at any time,  We can say that Pochettino has had a bit of time at Chelsea but I think he has wasted that time only on failed experiments at Chelsea so far, so he might be worthy enough to be sacked.

Dortmund played with different tension in the Champions League, they managed to get out of the group phase as the team that collected the most points, which was filled with strong teams such as PSG, Milan and Newcastle. Surprises continued to be shown in the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals before they ensured qualification for the final. This extraordinary performance is not comparable to what they showed in the Bundesliga, Dortmund, who represents the Bundesliga, will try to provide something that was never expected before to win the UCL trophy even though so far they have always had difficulty winning the Bundesliga title race.

Since the group phase, Dortmund actually joined the group which can be said to be a hellish group in the Champions League because it contains a big team, but with their toughness and experience playing in European competitions so far they have been able to make Dortmund come out as group winners, their performance in the Champions League and Bundesliga is indeed very inverse,  although they are able to provide competition in the Bundesliga but it is not able to make them able to Being title contenders who ultimately have to end the season in the current 5th place, while in the Champions League they were underestimated and even against Atletico Madrid no one considered them as favourites to be able to turn things around in the second leg.

But today in fact we can see if Dortmund and Bayern Munich who have poor performance in the Bundesliga are able to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, especially Dortmund is even only one step away from them being able to win the championship trophy after eliminating PSG in two legs, at this time of course it is surprising to see a team that from the group phase is underestimated actually able to reach the final round of the Champions League,  Even I think against Madrid later in the final they still have a bigger chance of winning and for now it's not appropriate for us to underestimate Dortmund again.

Al Akhdoud vs Al Nassr
Al Akhdoud, who are struggling to stay in the league, have taken four points from the last two weeks, but they need to play football with minimum mistakes in the remaining four weeks. Hosts Al Akhdoud host a tough opponent in this match. They will face Al Nassr, who are mathematically still in contention for the title but will finish the season in second place barring a major miracle. The visitors Al Nassr have been winning for seven weeks and will continue this streak. I think they can win this game and finish the job in the first half. Al Akhdoud may not be able to put up much resistance against a tough opponent.
Al Nassr is of course very favorite in the match to win, because indeed the performance and quality possessed by Al Akhdoud is currently far below al nassr, in the last few matches Al Akhdoud performed quite poorly and even throughout the season they only won 8 games and of course it shows the quality of their performance is quite poor,  Although Al Akhdoud is currently in the safe zone of relegation but still they are not safe because indeed Abhaa and Al Taee have a very small difference in points at the moment with them, the match against Al Nassr will certainly be a nightmare for Al Akhdoud because it is difficult for us to say they can win against Al Nassr later.

Al Akhdoud who has the motivation to stay away from the relegation zone may give a fight to al nassr in the match, but I think it will not be able to surprise al nassr who really want to continue to extend their winning record, besides of course Ronaldo will not waste the game later to continue to be able to add to his collection of goals in the Arab League this season,  For some reason, I'm pretty sure that if Ronaldo is played later, he will most likely be able to score Hatrick again and make him further away from his current competitors.

If Roma fails to give Daniele De Rossi an improved new contract, they will lose him to other top clubs. He turned the fortunes of Roma within a few months after the departure of Jose Mourinho. It would be ideal for the club management to give him a new contract and also allocate funds to buy new players to make the team strong enough to compete for the next season. The club is currently concerned about how to overturn the two-goal deficit they have in the Europa League against Bayern Leverkusen.

De Rossi is a Roma legend who has given a lot to Roma as a player and now as a coach, although he does not have much experience in coaching but finally he got a contract with Roma after Mourinho was fired, to be honest, I am personally quite surprised by his appointment as Roma coach at the time and I am pessimistic if he is able to bring Roma to be better than Mourinho after he officially became Roma coach this season,  De Rossi doesn't have a lot of experience coaching big teams so a lot of people including me think, is he capable?

Now he has shown his capacity as a talented rookie coach and is able to lead Roma to competition for the Champions League this season, reportedly Roma will extend De Rossi contract if he is able to lead Roma to play in the Champions League next season, so I think it would be a foolish decision if Roma no longer work with De Rossi if roma fail to play in the Champions League next season,  De Rossi has been able to lift Roma form even though he has little time to do so this season.

I also observed that withdrawing the main player at the end and relying on defensive play is a common decision, but it is a risk taken by the club and last night Tuchel did it in the end Tuchel forgot that what he was facing was Real Madrid, which is a club that does not  giving up and having a reliable coach like Carlo Ancelotti who knows very well how to penetrate Bayern Munich's defense, and it's true that the goal was scored well by Real Madrid players, a decision that was not right in my opinion, even other people's opinions will definitely be the same as ours.
Madrid managed to show their mentality as winners in the match, after almost losing at the end of the game but finally they were able to bounce back with an extraordinary comeback in the match, but we also have to admit that Munich, which was previously underestimated before the game started, turned out to be able to give Madrid a pretty great fight at the Bernabeu throughout the match,  Madrid were able to control the match well but the speed and experience possessed by the Munich players was able to make the Madrid players very frustrated especially when they chased the equaliser after Bayern Munich first goal was created in the match.

Tuchel mistake was to instruct his players to defend even though the game still had plenty of time left, so Madrid had many chances to press Munich and create dangerous chances, but after Madrid turned in the lead it was Munich who started again to press the Madrid defense so I think the game should have ended in a 2-2 draw had Munich last goal been legal, to be honest, I was disappointed to see the linesman leadership that seemed to be skewed favoring Madrid, because it is clear that De Light is not offside and the funny thing is that the referee does not bother to check VAR to ensure this.

We know Aleix García was the favorite player for Xavi and he wanted to hire this player for Barcelona because of the good performance he has. Aleix García is the captain of Girona and during this season he was the key player for his team but this player got good offers from the other team which can make him leave Girona at the end of this season.
Xavi even sent his offer during the winter but he didn't join Barcelona. Now it seems he got a good offer from Leverkusen and there is a much higher chance for him to join this team and pay for Leverkusen in the next season.
36 games, three goals, and six assists for Girona is not bad for García so far.



Girona this season is able to perform quite impressively with their ability to compete with the big La Liga teams at the moment, Girona ability to compete at the top level of La Liga is certainly a factor of the good players they currently have, especially Aleix Garcia who is able to lead the team while rallying the Girona defense line solidly enough so it is not surprising that he is one of the hot assets that many teams are fighting for today,  Leverkusen, Milan, Aston Villa and Barcelona at the moment, reportedly Aleix Garcia has a release clause that reaches 20 million euros, so I think with a small release fee of course it is not difficult for the team to be able to sign him from Girona in the summer.

But the problem now is Barcelona ability to buy him, indeed the release clause owned by Aleix Garcia is not too big, but for Barcelona who have financial problems of course they have to think again to sign him, besides that I think it is difficult for Barcelona to get him because maybe Aleix Garcia will prefer to play outside Spain if later there are other teams who want to buy him,  After all, playing outside Spain is an effective step to honour Girona who have made a big name for themselves.

Yes that's right, I also saw a different mentality shown by Dortmund in France, it was a different aura and a different style of play, not what we usually see in domestic league matches.

I think why Dortmund didn't really get a position in the domestic league because they felt that in the domestic league they were struggling enough with the amount of competition that appeared, or basically Terzic was more eyeing the champions league than the Bundes league, he maximized their chances in the champions league and yes he said he was now waiting in the final, waiting for the results of the Real Madrid and Bayern Munich match tonight.
We can say dortmund has always lost to Munich in dominating the Bundesliga, not only this season and even so far we have always seen if Dortmund always lags behind Munich in the title race, it is very natural to happen because it is Dortmund's habit of always selling their star players for big profits, but strangely they always do not run out of stock of talented young players so far,  I think it's unlucky for Dortmund this season in the domestic league because when Munich experienced a decline in performance they also experienced the same thing making it easier for Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga this season.

It is very natural for a team to shift their championship target to another competition if indeed a competition they can no longer achieve, like now when Dortmund is already impossible to win the Bundesliga and also has get a Champions League ticket next season of course they will focus on the Champions League because it is a target that they might be able to achieve even though it is actually difficult,  Dortmund are only one step away from winning the Champions League after they reached the final, and as I write this post, the other match between Madrid and Munich has almost ended with a provisional aggregate score of 2-3 for Munich win until the 84th minute, so I think if Munich can maintain their victory then the Bundesliga duo will meet in the final like the Der Klassiker match so far.

At least Monaco has also experienced winning the Ligue 1 trophy in the past and thus, Monaco is not a new team in the competition at the top of the table. But besides that,Monaco also did not start this season well so it seems natural,if Monaco has fallen behind PSG who has been at the top of the standings first. But at least, Monaco has really secured its position in the top three andthus, then ofcourse Monaco will get a Champion League ticket this season and will play in the Champion League next season. Of course, it is still a goodresult but indeed, we expect the Ligue 1 competition to become even more competitive and notonly about PSG who always managed to win the Ligue 1 trophy.
Monaco is one of the legendary clubs in Ligue 1 so far and even the Monaco club existed before PSG existed, Monaco even managed to get the Ligue 1 trophy several times during their heyday, but indeed after PSG transformed into a rich and powerful team in Ligue 1, of course other teams in Ligue 1 are currently losing their prestige including Monaco,  For now Monaco have a greater chance to play in the Champions League next season after the last time in the 2018 season qualified automatically, so indeed Monaco has experience in the Champions League so indeed the Champions League is not a new competition for them, so I think they will certainly prepare the team as well as possible before the 2024/2025 season begins.

After PSG dominated Ligue 1, of course, other teams have difficulty competing with them and even if lucky maybe other teams in Ligue 1 can break PSG dominance for a long time, like  Lille in the 2021 season champhionship after more than 10 consecutive PSG championship seasons, for now it is difficult for other teams in Ligue 1 to compete for championship trophies including Monaco, so that in the end it makes the mission of the existing team In Ligue 1 except PSG have only targeted the Champions League zone so far every seasons.

The second leg match between Madrid and Munich has begun, Bayern Munich started the match so far quite convincingly and even they have tried a little surprise early in the game after after gnabry was able to run fast to the front of the penalty area but unfortunately Kane was not able to be in the right position, both teams have so far tried to play in high intensity and even Madrid almost broke Madrid's goal but fortunately Neur was able to thwart Chances are, looking at the current game of the two teams, it seems that it will be difficult to guess which team will win, even though Madrid play at the Bernabeu, but Munich plays like it does not have the burden that many people expect.

Both teams fielded their best squads today and of course we could see the game was tight so even a little mistake made would certainly lead to defeat, both teams have high motivation to reach the final round but I think it looks like today match will probably continue until extra time because indeed both have had a pretty good performance so far.

Chelsea has been on a rampage lately and I don't know why they are scoring so many goals in one match. What is clear is that Pochettino is now able to find a little bit of direction for the Blues squad and they just need to continue this positive trend until the end of the season. Currently Chelsea is also one level above Manchester United and of course they will continue to maintain that place or could even overtake Newcastle and Spurs with the remaining 3 matches.

I think we are still optimistic that the Blues squad wants to get a place in European competition next season considering that they have missed this competition for so long in the last few years. Now they just need to wipe out the remaining matches and also hope that the team above them experiences setbacks so they can overtake their current position.
In the last few games, Chelsea managed to win and make them able to go quite high from their previous position at this time, the victory against Westham certainly made them now able to be ranked 7th and only 6 points away from the Europa League zone and 2 points from the current Conference League zone, in addition to the victory from Westham, of course Manchester United's defeat to Crystal Palace also gave them a very big advantage so that Chelsea Still able to stay in 7th place at this time, although indeed now Chelsea are starting to open the opportunity to play in the Europa League zone next season but I think their journey is not easy because the remaining games they have now only three, besides that of course Manchester United still has a chance to take over Chelsea current position.

I would like to see Chelsea rediscover their current form for us to see the tough competition in the Europa League, but honestly I don't dare to expect much if Chelsea can continue to consistently win the remaining games at the end of the season, considering what happened in the last few weeks, when they won quite convincingly but in the next game they suffered defeat even to the team that weak.

I think there is no longer a fight for second place between Barcelona and Girona, everything is over and Barcelona lost to Girona this season even though in the remaining matches Girona did not perform optimally but in two matches this season Barcelona has been beaten by Girona and that is what must be considered. remember.

This season, Barcelona's performance is no better than last season, in fact they are quite down this season with all the problems they are facing and of course a team as big as Barcelona should be able to recover, but if you look at Barcelona's team management in the last few seasons, I am quite pessimistic that there will be big changes. will happen next season.
The rivalry of course is still there in my opinion, at the moment both teams still have some games left that they have to play, so we cannot say if both teams will be able to win all the games easily, especially girona of course they lost some points in matches such as against Villareal and Valencia, Barcelona lost to Girona making them have to lose second place at this time,  But with a difference of one point, of course, it is not difficult for Barcelona to be able to take again second place again from girona, but for now indeed getting 2nd or 3rd place is no longer important because both have indeed managed to get 1 Champions League ticket next season.

I think when Barcelona can go to the quarter-finals and also be in the runners-up position before being defeated by Girona in La Liga of course their achievements are extraordinary in my opinion, logically it will be difficult for a team to be able to bounce back after their financial problems, but in fact Barcelona can get through it all well even though their performance is not as consistent as before but at least they are still on the right track at this time and can even passing Atletico Madrid who now have better finances than Barcelona.

Al Hilal was about to be stopped in this tie against Al Ahli.
I think the main reason for this close performance was because Al Hilal was sure about the Saudi league and they didn't need to be worried and put too much energy into these games that's why they didn't even try to score many goals opportunities like the other games we saw from them.
I was thinking they were going to finish it with a 1-1 result until the last minute of the game when Malcolm scored the second goal for his team in this match.


Al Hilal were finally able to continue their unbeaten record in the league, despite falling behind first with Al ahli goal in the 30th minute, but Al Hilal who were still unbeaten were able to make a comeback to keep their unbeaten record this season, with a win over al ahli certainly making al Hillal journey very close to the SPL championship trophy this season,  at the moment Al Hillal have dominated the league by continuing to win and they have left their closest rivals Al Nassr with 12 points, I think with 4 games left of course Al Hillal only need one more point to be able to make their position no longer possible to be chased by Al Nassr later.

In addition to securing the SPL trophy at this time, of course Al Ahli still have a great opportunity to add to their trophy collection this season, yes they are still in competition to win the Saudi Arabian king trophy after making it to the final with Al Nassr, Al Hillal journey this season is certainly very extraordinary even though they could not get a treble winner after being eliminated from the Asian champion league,  but still Al Hillal resurgence this season is no different than it was with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga in my opinion.

I wonder how long this financial situation will continue? They are struggling with a long-standing financial problem. Even if they sell some important players, this situation does not improve. Barcelona needs to get out of this crisis urgently. Because we know them with their success stories during Messi's time. Their current position is very disappointing to their fans.
In a bad financial condition like now, of course, fans cannot blame Xavi and also the players just for being able to finish 2nd or 3rd later in the league, because indeed this has been the threshold of the ability of the current Barcelona squad, in conditions like this of course we cannot compare the current era with the glory era when Messi was still a Barcelona player,  Barcelona's past glory was the cause of the financial crisis that happened to Barcelona today because they did not control finances well back then, we know how Barcelona filled its squad with expensive and highly paid players so they forgot that in the end the financial balance of the club would be disrupted and now this is a real effect of the carelessness.

This season Xavi has been able to bring Barcelona to La Liga and Champions League competition, so admittedly or not of course it is that an extraordinary thing considering the club current financial condition, reportedly next season Barcelona will try to improve the performance of its team by bringing in several new players and with finances like now of course it is difficult for them to buy star players who are expensive,  Unless they do what they did last season by targeting free transfer players.

This result may be a surprise for some people, but not for me. I have said before that PSG progressed to semi-final was not a brilliant manner due to they won against 10-men Barcelona at Camp Nou after a loss at their own home. Many people stuck on a bad season Dortmund having in Bundesliga while ignoring the fact that Dortmund have a different form in Champions League.

I think PSG is really spoiled by their dominance in Ligue 1 that makes them not having competitiveness manner when they play in Champions League games. Dortmund is having a complicated season that makes them having to have full focus on making progressions and improvements. This different mindset reflects on the pitch, and the result was in favor for the team with stronger mindset and desire to win.
Again PSG failed to win the Champions League trophy and they again had to run aground at the hands of Dortmund who were never favorites this season, from the beginning many people thought that PSG would easily turn things around in the second leg just because they lost 0-1 in the first leg, but the proof is now precisely the mentality possessed by Dortmund can be a nightmare for PSG,  Although playing continued to attack in the match and created many chances, but luck was not on PSG's side so that an aggregate of 2 goals was enough to stop PSG journey in the Champions League semi-finals this season.

I think hummels really deserved to be the man of the match, not only because of the only goal he scored in the game, but with his age now he was able to keep Mbappe tight and continue to make mbappe fail to finish he job with well, in that game Dortmund seemed to be very aware that destroying mbappe is the same as destroying PSG and that proved effective in that game,  the mentality possessed by PSG we cannot say that we deserve to be champions in the Champions League because it is not tested at all, the ease of Ligue 1 competition so far certainly does not make them very great to play in the Champions League so far.
