Lille are still not able to have a decent form in the league now and the season is coming to an end at the same time. Today they had a game against Lens home and lost the game by 1-2 also. The second half was under control of Lille but it still didn't help them even score the equalizer. This might cause Lille to be in a worse situation about qualifying for a tournament next season.
Lille isn't that top this season so don't expect much from them. Even the other teams are dropping points easily. Rennes for example did well, took the second place for short then failed yesterday, otherwise they could be 2nd again in case of OM will fail against PSG tonight

Today's games started half hour ago and Leicester were leading with 1 goal before Newcastle scored. In the other game, West Ham received a goal from Burnley. Burnley and Newcastle need points more than the other two teams.

Juventus this evening seriously risked losing a game that on paper was "already won" or that shouldn't have been so difficult (Bologna played in 9). I believe that by now they have definitely abandoned any hope of winning the Scudetto ....
Juventus were lucky to get one point from Bologna which was playing with 9 players by the way, thanks to a goal scored at the extra time... Incredible how they are missing points in these crucial moments. They are relatively safe for now in the 4th spot thanks to the 6 points advantage they collected and the fact that Roma aren't consistent too and will play vs Napoli tomorrow.

the team need a overhaul and I think it is the strong verdict Teg presented to the management this weekend. I already forgot cavani is still in that team, so are many other players that are too old for top competing teams. Nothing is wrong with Harry Maguire in my own opinion but the high purchase defender tag as English player will put pressure on him for a long time.
Do you really think that nothing is wrong with Harry Maguire? I don't know if you are watching Manchester United's game regularly in this season. But I assume that you aren't as you say this. Maguire is just a big disappointment for Manchester United now. He has made so many mistakes in defense so far in the season and it cost Manchester United a lot those times. He can be the biggest waste of money for this club I believe. So they had better go for a good defender this summer. The captain reflects the team and the ship is sinking. Maguire made a lot of mistakes that cost the team too much. Dunno why they would keep him in, he doesn't seem fully concentrated in some games and doing noobie mistakes.. ManU should reassess what they have and fix their team if they want to compete the others.

I wish Dortmund always play like this. Only four weeks left for them and even if they beat Bayern next week they have very slim chance to be champion. If Bayern lose tomorrow then next week's big game would be more interesting but they will probably win and start title celebrations early. Dortmund also guaranteed second place with this win. Only race remaining would be third and fourth place which is a direct ticket to Champions League next year. Three teams fight for two spots. Leverkusen and RB Leipzig have advantage for now.
Dortmund literally destroyed Wolfsburg and they are 6 points behind Bayern temporarily, since I believe Bayern will make it 9 again. I believe Leipzig could end 3rd if they will win tomorrow since their games seem to be easier than Leverkusen and Freiburg.

Inter and Milan had a good day yesterday by winning their matches. Milan are still in the lead by two points ahead of Inter now. I wonder what Napoli will do against Roma two days later. They need to win also not to get away from the first two positions. But Roma are a really difficult opponent to defeat. They are doing really well recently and they might get a point here too.
Napoli odds are 1.89 vs 4.1 for Roma. Bookies and bettors believe that Napoli will win and I tend to agree too. Roma is fluctuating a lot and you can't predict its performance, they might fight good or lose badly.. Today, Salernitana interestingly won their 4th game and Cagliari made it through Sassuolo. Juve still 0-0 vs Bologna in the first half.

Congratulations to Liverpool for qualifying for the FA Cup Final after beating City tonight with a score of 2-3, and it's true that this game is not like it used to be. But it was quite entertaining and I also didn't see Mohamed Salah score on just a few occasions. maybe Manchester City will focus more on UCL and EFL matches, but whatever the reason I am quite happy that Liverpool can beat Mancheater City and will meet in one of them in the final, Chelsea or Crystal Palace.
I would like to add, congratulations to Liverpool for the Cup ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) City main objective in this Cup is to qualify without wasting efforts but Liverpool ended their journey here and I find it better, they should focus more on EPL and CL. Chelsea should win tomorrow and lose vs Liverpool in May.

Spurs and Arsenal dropping points, does this gives Man united hope, maybe Vestige of hope Let's see what united can do with this opportunity. As for Norwich city there relegation is all but confirmed.
ManU won its game vs Norwich with 1 goal difference (3-2, hattrick from CR7), which is a weird result but a good one for them since they got 3 points.. while Spurs and Arsenal failed to get a single point in their matches. Spurs 4th > 3 points from ManU = Arsenal which still lacks 1 more game. The fight for the last CL spot is intense!

Spezia 0 - 2 Inter in the 80th minute and it looks like there will be no surprises. Inter will be back in first place for at least a couple of hours, but Milan will most likely beat Genoa without any problems and we will see a reshuffle. Today's games are rather boring in terms of intrigue, but interesting in terms of bets - for example, 1.33 for a Milan victory looks profitable.
Inter is now the first in the table since a while but as you said most likely for less than 2 hours. Spezia scored a goal at 88th minute but Inter was already leading with 2 goals before adding the 3rd in extra time. Milan @1.36 - Genoa @9.2. In case Milan get a draw, Inter will remain the first regardless of Napoli results with a 1 game advantage.

It was really surprising for me to see that Leipzig didn't have a huge difficulty in defeating Atalanta. I was expecting to see extra time at least but Leipzig won by 2-0 in 90 minutes. Atalanta weren't playing badly actually but they were lacking skills about finishing that's for sure. And it cost them the tournament. As Atalanta also were giving a big importance to the Europa League, I assume that they are really sad and disappointed about the result too.
Atalanta isn't in its best shape this season, neither in CL, nor in EL, nor in Serie A.. They even risk to not play in European competitions next season. Now for the first leg of the semi-final, odds are way better for Leipzig and West Ham. Leipzig are better than Rangers and the odds seems correct for me, but honestly WHU @1.89 vs Frankfurt @4.3, you have the feeling that Frankfurt are a bunch of losers or WHU are very strong! Neither of it is correct obviously but even playing home doesn't guarantee anything.

after today's second legs in the conference league, the semifinals look like this: https://i.imgur.com/pYaBUqY.pnghard to say who will reach the final - but my favorites here would be as roma and olympique marseille I were like how lucky is Marseille playing vs Feyenoord until I saw the odds in Stake : Feyenoord 2.32 vs OM 2.95, I assume because they will play home? For Leicester, they will face Roma. Same thing and literally same odds with Leicester are the favourite team to win. I believe Roma could get a draw there or even win the game.

Farewell Barcelona. That was the most shocking result, as worst as seeing Bayern being kicked from CL! BTW is there some Barca fans / staff that sold their tickets to their rivals? Leipzig won earlier vs Atalanta which I find interesting. West Ham made it too. Meanwhile Rangers and Braga will continue additional time.

Well, Glimt's fairytale's over. And Leicester, safely through, so I guess it really will be down to Roma and Leicester -- all due respect to Marseille and Feyenoord, who've got more internal problems than any team should have to not get distracted.
(Hoping I jinxed myself to see some crazy comeback from Bodoe heh).
I didn't expect to see Leicester winning after being behind with 1 goal or else x9.5 on a bet would be a great deal ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) OM and Roma passed. Feyenoord scored 3 goals and made it through Praha. So far Roma seems to be favorite if they continue like that. I still can't trust 100% Leicester, otherwise OM can compete these both teams. I would say Roma > Leicester > OM > Feyenoord

Leicester - PSV (0-0)
I am very excited to enjoy this match. ~snip yeah, this will a great match, goals are widely expected, and PSV does have a fair share on chance to win Europe Conference league this season, looking at competition.. First game started from an hour and PSV is leading with 1 goal vs Leicester. Leicester odds jumped now to 9.5 and I think PSV could add another goal. Waited more from them..

Mo Salah had previously been reported to be seeking a salary of £500,000 per week. The Reds have agreed to pay Mo Salah £400,000-a-week to keep him at Anfield. MO has played a crucial role in the redemption of Liverpool and he continues to provide a lot of value to the club. His value is even greater. In light of those news, I hope he will be able to improve his performance, leading him to the heights he began with. The news hasn't been confirmed on the Anfield website or app. We hope things turn out to be true.
He is a good player and Liverpool needs him. I don't want to comment on his salary but the wages of players are ridiculously high comparing to the other jobs and even non top players. The problem is that this joke is continue to rise from a year to another...

we've semi-finalist: Man City vs. Real Madrid Liverpool vs. Villarreal
The roles are clearly distributed in those games, the English teams are the favorites by quite some margin. The Spanish teams will need a good game from their side and a portion of luck to survive this round. Unfortunately this means we might see an all English final. (Sure the English teams are the best in their quality, but somehow I would have preferred an English semi-final instead ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ) Liverpool to play the final game is almost sure. In the other hand, City will have hard times vs Real Madrid. In the second leg, both teams aren't convincing compared to the first one. City passed ATM with only one goal, it might be due to Simeone tactics but we all know that Real Madrid is better than ATM. Ancelltti should play with a better tactics or else it will be indeed an English finals

I still can't believe Bayern Munich is already out of the competition this early. Even more unbelievable is that they were kicked out by a smaller team. ...In the other game, ATM 0-0 City... ATM playing 5-4-1 in the first half before making some changes in the the 70th minutes? They are 1 goal behind on aggregate!
They want to make sure they are still within striking distance when they go all out by not conceding another goal early. The changes could be too late but I don't think it's a bad strategy. ..... Liverpool and Benfica tied at 3-3with five minutes left in the game. A little too late but kudos to Benfica for fighting. It is understood that Simeone doesn't want to receive an early goal so City could literally kill the game but he might try to push more forward while keeping a solid defense.. I preferred to see ATM playing more attack earlier honestly, they risk to lose anyway so why not try to score a goal.. When I see Benfica although losing 3-1 then made it to 3-3, I wonder why ATM didn't try to do the same. Benfica players know they will lose for sure regarding the huge aggregate score difference, yet they played and reduced the gap. Respect!

Liverpool 3 - 2 Benfica (6-3 aggregate), 20 minutes left in the game When I compare this to what happened in Real Madrid, the difference is quite obvious. Both teams were leading big in first leg but one team struggled to pass and the other kept pushing since the beginning.. In the other game, ATM 0-0 City... ATM playing 5-4-1 in the first half before making some changes in the the 70th minutes? They are 1 goal behind on aggregate!

I don't think so, Juventus are in good form in the last few games and for sure they will fight until the end of this season to stay in 4th place in the standings and get the UCL ticket.
The opportunity for Juventus to become champions of course no longer exists after they suffered a defeat against Inter Milan a few weeks ago, the distance in points is already quite far and the number of matches remaining this season is a reason to say that it is no longer possible for Juventus to win the Scudetto this season.
Juve lost its chance to compete for the title when they let Inter win vs them. The number of points aren't that distant but the number of games left is indeed limited. If Juve want to try its chance, they have to win every match and expect the other three to throw points. Games vs Fiorentina, Lazio, Sassuolo and even Bologna might end with a surprise.

Bayern Munich is now also out of the Champignos League. This means they can concentrate on the Champignonship in the 1st Bundesliga. Since they were also knocked out of the DFB Cup, this will be their only trophy this year. Nagelsmann is a good coach but this situation will be discussed at Bayern Munich internaly and sooner or later in the media. I think Nagelsmann will have a hard time in the next few weeks.
Bayern will focus more on Bundesliga for sure since that's all what left for them. The problem is their best player and scorer, Lewandowski, might leave soon to Barcelona since AFAIK he has agreement with them. Better for Bayern to let him go and find a good successor since his contract will end in 2023 or find a way to guarantee his staying with the team for a longer period although his age.
