For the time being, AS Roma is still in 5th place in the standings and Atalanta is just below it with difference of 2 points, but Atalanta has match against Salernitana which is the bottom team in this season standings.
Salernitana is not strong team and can give big surprise so I sure that Atalanta will definitely win the match and if the points can really be obtained in full then AS Roma will be moved to 6th position.
However, we don't need to worry because there are still several matches that will give AS Roma the opportunity to maintain or reclaim the top 5 position.
Moreover, it is certain that AS Roma will again get Europa League tickets next season and of course they will try to be much better than this season and they will study and prepare everything thoroughly.

Regarding De Rossi, I don't know whether at the end of the season he will actually be retained or replaced because his status as coach is only temporary, but he has shown quite good performance.
The fight for the UEFA contests eligibility is on in the Serie A with Atalanta at the moment being at the top of their game tempo and ensuring that by every means necessary, they finish the league on an appropriate ground. They've got an outstanding which seems like a walkover for them based on the rate of both teams' performances so far. They've also grown to be fans' favorite too.
 
 Although currently, AS Roma are doing their best to stay grounded in the 5th place standing but Atalanta seems to be a threat regardless of the little point gap and chances they've got to stay ahead still. Rossi came and his ensured a solid team is emanated and maybe he can hold up his end of the baton and not let go of his spot. They've still got games left to the end of the season and so anything can happen.
 
 Atalanta last games are seeming like walkovers and a very reserved victory ahead of them which would give them points to outshine Roma and be on top. The fixtures really would be the only setback Roma have because easy at it may be for Atalanta, it'll be likely tough for them because they've got something extra to fight for and their opponents would only have to prevent themselves from going down in points too.

I agree with you that this season and even last season Fenerbahce played well at the beginning of the season, in the middle of the season, but at the end of the season they played very badly, that I even thought that maybe Fenerbahce had sold the title to Galatasaray, because honestly it's not normal for a team to play very well at the beginning and middle of the season, but when they reach the end of the season they start to lose points in games against weak teams that they were supposed to win. In this season's case, the title is already lost, I don't see any chance of Fenerhance becoming champions this season. For me Galatasaray is already champion again



Adana 0 - 3 Galatasaray

As expected from Galatasaray, they won this game very easily and are very close to becoming champions again, just win the next 3 games, Galatasaray's most complicated game will be when they play against Fenerbahce, but I highly doubt that Galatasaray will lose in the game against Fenebahce and even if they lost, they would still have a chance to become champions if they just won the last game of the league, that's why in my opinion Galatasaray will become champions again

fenerbahce 2 - 1 besiktas

In my opinion, Fenerbahce won that game because Besiktas was left with just 10 players after 25 minutes, this made the team weak and even so, Besiktas didn't concede many goals in that game and managed to score 1 goal. If the game didn't have a red card, then we would probably see a draw
The Turkish Super Lig is one league that's been having a wide point margin between their title holder and the other teams but this season both top teams have actually been playing averagely and their end result is more or less thesame with a difference in just the goal margins. It's not so bad though but it'd mean that one team would have to put extra work to their game delivery if they want to secure the trophy.

 Fernabache and Galatasaray are good teams with good quality of players and both are capable of making the contest tough. But we await who'd be the greatest of them all. Galatasaray and Fernabache are making the struggle for the league trophy more difficult because they are giving thesame victory energy and aura, the points gathered, the goal differences, they're seemingly the toughest team in the league and their victory is so certain. Their elimination from the UEFA conference league tournament has even given them more time to prepare and focus on the last laps of the Turkish League games for the season.

 In a long while in the Turkish League, deciding the league's winner will take a while because these two teams are good at what they do. They play to win, and their next league game would undoubtedly end up as a victory for them both because their opponents are the opposite of them in all aspects. Galatasaray confidently winning their host with a 3goal margin added the points and increased their goal differences and this speaks good ability to stay in form.

The match between Leverkusen vs Roma will definitely be more interesting because these two teams are both favorites in the European league this season. Regardless of who makes it through to the final, of course we have to see their game in the two legs later. For me, seeing the good journey of both of them in the European League this season cannot be separated from the role of their coach who is able to encourage his players to perform better. It's just that Leverkusen has just managed to secure a title in the domestic league so they are motivated to perform better in order to aim for a second title.

Well, if Roma were runners up last season, even though they were considered weak in the group phase, their performance appeared to improve in the round of 16 and the quarter-finals. Roma is slowly being able to show its best strength under the direction of De Rossi, they are now quite focused on the European league and it seems that Roma wants to aim for a Champions League ticket by successfully becoming champion.
At the moment, the UEL this season is left with 4 teams set to battle it all out at the semi finals. The strongest team said to be Leverkusen will be facing the second toughest Roma and I must say it all seems like the UEFA board wants Leverkusen to go home with the trophy. Comparing the probability of the game outcome taking into consideration both teams performances so far, Leverkusen is the better side and they have the greater advantage over Roma. Yes Roma can be competitive and can make the game tough but Leverkusen's record won't let them stay down to be defeated. Really it'll be a game to look out for as in the first and second legs, both teams would put up their best to seeing if they can secure the 3points.

 The last two teams aren't much of big strengths as they've had minor records so far in their European cup quests. If either of them wins, it'll be a walkover game for their final opponent because either Roma or Leverkusen would be a better side to them considering experiences gained and domestic league performances this season. Atalanta or Marseille aren't tough teams and if I'm to predict the qualified team to be, I'd go for Atalanta based on they are a little above the average performance of their normal performance. The semi finals won't be an easy battle as anything really can happen on the field of play.

 Leverkusen's qualification to the semi finals of this season's UEL was also historic as they kept their unbeaten record still in play after drawing to West ham. This season they've been an undaunted team and they really have all it takes to finish the season with the unbeaten record intact and two trophies in their shelf. Their next UEL opponent is competitive but it's not really a big deal for them based on the fact that they have gained enough confidence and have even being in tougher encounters which they've at thesame time comfortably come out from victoriously. Roma themselves know that they won't be up for a joke game in the semi finals stage.

If PSG actually wins against Dortmund and somehow they also win the Champions League competition, Mbappé will have to carry the whole team on his back. Otherwise, I do not think they will actually win the Champions League. I don't think he will be able to do it by himself. Because football is definitely not a one-man show. all the players have to perfectly play their role. Without doing so, it is hard for them to actually win.

Maybe they will be able to win against Dortmund. That is probably expected from them. But after reaching the finals, they will most probably face Real Madrid and I am pretty sure they are not going to win that match if they are depending on a single player. we also have seen how good players can miss at crucial times. I am talking about how Haaland missed easy chances against Real Madrid in the Champions League match. But I also agree that all the teams are actually really good and the performance which is expected from them is also going to be competitive.
Well it’s long past the days when a club’s victory or success is vested on the shoulders of an individual. Now we now have to see a top notch performance from at least all the team members and including the fans for the club to be able to succeed especially in Elite competition like the UCL.

 ⁠A team’s success needs all 11 players to be very proactive whilst on the pitch of play meanwhile an individual can stand out, this doesn’t mean because he standsout, the team gets the success. Football is a team game and not a one man show , hence the need for high team spirit for success to be attained.

 ⁠Mbappe since his time at psg has majorly been the main man in the show for the club and yes a lot think he’s capable of helping them win the UCL this season. Well the chances are slim because of course they’ll meet a team as formidable like Real Madrid in the final, the team work from Real Madrid team is scary.

 ⁠PSG will need to work as a team and not leave everything for Kylian and probably Dembele because Real Madrid are a strong force that work together and to defeat them you’ve got to be stronger. Football success is now crested on team work and I wish clubs understands now whilst going forward.

unfortunately Ajax will have to accept the fact that they are left out of the top 4. I hope that next season they improve, because the last 2 seasons were a huge disaster
PSV have showed a lot of improvement this season and you can see that in the way they perform in the league and off the league too whilst they were in Europe. This team are really meriting whatever they will be winning this season as they have been able to show a strong fighting spirit which has brought them to where they are. ⁠They will soon be crowned league winners because of the number of points they have been able to accumulate, this shows a strong resilience. Whilst gathering points they never failed to make a statement with the large number of goals they pull in and that shows a fierce attack.

 ⁠They have been able to successfully build on their attack and make it one fierce one for others in the league to compete against because they have been able to score over 19 goals in their past 3 matches. This is a big testament that their attack is one strong one and should be considered as one of Europe’s finest.

 The team have a nice strategy of approaching matches and I would say this strategy is real working for them and they should consolidate on it whilst they head to the new season. The board shouldn’t also fail in trying to acquire some great players that will still help to boost the club’s success.

This point has already been made clear that Killyan Mbappe will leave PSG at the end of the season. Now where he should be going to play the next season, this is skeptical. So TBH definitely he would be go for Real Madrid because only Real Madrid is the club that has shown strong strength and interest in his transfer. While on the other side Killyan Mbappe has also dreamt about real Madrid but due to some undramatic reasons in the past, both real Madrid and Killyan Mbappe have not agreed with it. But now I strongly believe that Real Madrid will make all of its best efforts to sign Killyan Mbappe at the end of the season because there are many Real Madrid inside staff have said that Killyan Mbappe will be play at real Madrid next season.
 
And finally, let me tell you that even though Killian Mbappe knew that PSG was in the semifinals of the Champions League, he will leave at the end of the season because he knew that even PSG was not capable of winning the UCL because the UCL is big. It can't be won by name or player but is won by team work.
Mbappe’s departure is one of the very sure transfer to happen in summer and it’s even been confirmed by Mbappe himself with his statement. Though a lot of persons still feel if he’s able to win the ucl with psg, that could make him still want to remain at the club for one more season.
 
 Well Kylian has thwarted such thoughts already in his statement on his departure, so it’s up to the club now to begin to make plans on a good and fit replacement for him. Kylian is set to join Real Madrid and it’s going to make the Spanish club one very fierce one especially with the shape of the squad now and imagine Mbappe in that attack.

 ⁠Now PSG are eyeing the young dude at Barca, Yamal who’s said to be a fast rising star at the club. If psg makes this transfer possible, then it could be a bad one for Barca as Real Madrid will be strengthening up with Kylian while they are losing their wonderkid.

 Barca must be careful with the deal with Yamal though it’s looking eminent already because the money offered by psg could help them out in their financial crisis. I think psg should also be careful in their approach to sign a replacement for Mbappe because they’ll need more of a team player than self player.

With a record that big, it's certain that no other big European team will be able to break it and I'm sure even if it did, it would probably take around 10 more years. Xabi Alonso is one of those geniuses who rarely appears and with Leverkusen he immediately crushed all the existing dominators. Their mentality never wavered in the slightest in every match and instead of accepting defeat, they were always able to equalize or even turn things around.

We will definitely miss this magic from Xabi Alonso and of course we hope he can repeat it next season. But before that, Leverkusen must continue to win in winning other titles such as the European League or DFB Pokal because that can complete Leverkusen's treble winner this season. On the other hand, I can't wait to see their progress in the Champions League next season and fight against strong teams from other top European leagues.
Bayern Leverkusen are about to create a resounding record which could be more than the invisible record created by Arsenal when they won the league about 20 years back. Bayern are going to go unbeaten in all competitions if they continue this way and win the Europa League.  This record is one very big one that isn’t come by so easily or frequent.
 
 ⁠For this record to be broken, I think it will take another 10 years or more just like that of Arsenal that’s about to be broken has been in existence for over 20 years. Since the arrival of Xabi Alonso, we can see how improved this Bayern team have been both mentality wise and otherwise and they aren’t looking like they’re tired anytime soon.

 ⁠They keep banging the goals in the last minutes and those goals help their record still be alive. I think Xabi Alonso will ho down as one of European greatest coach if he succeeds in creating this insane record. Yes with this mentality I think they can repeat it next season but mot exactly the same record, rather they can be the surprise team in the UCL next season.

 ⁠They must keep up this mentality and get the UEL because that’s the title their fans want majorly after they have successfully delivered on the Bundesliga. The DFB wouldn’t be much a challenge for them. I think a lot of us are eager to see this team perform in the ucl next season and I sincerely wish their owner invests more in this club so as not to let the team’s performance reduce in anyway.

 Just yesterday I read that there was talk that Pioli could be the new coach of Napoli. But perhaps Conte will be a better option, he is more ambitious and most likely he will require more investment in the transfer market in the off-season, this will strengthen the team, and allow Napoli to improve. After Spalletti left, Napoli has changed a lot, if Conte becomes Napoli coach, I think it will have a positive impact on the team.
Rumours are saying that Conte has concluded an agreement to head the Italian side, Napoli for the next 3 seasons. Of course it'll be a great news for the team in general and their fans too based on the fact that Conte seems like a more stable hand to take charge of the club being that they're currently in between performances even though trying to stay in proper shape. Conte for one would be the one fit to do the finishing touches.

 Last season, Napoli were a better side even in season's before last but this season, there's been a big switch to that and now it's seeming like a difficult task. Most less active teams of before have now taken it up on themselves to make long lasting differences this season and they've sure been consistent at it. It'll be difficult to break small teams as they've just developed a hidden confidence and strength to maintain their stiffness and just keep being ahead this season.

 Napoli can only reduce the track of points gaps between the teams but I'll really be longing that they're able to outstand and come on top the table to ensure the ticket is kept intact. Conte definitely is fit to do better than Mazarri. Napoli have had shaky performance, led to coach switches and it all seemed like the team was lost. Conte has a good history with Inter and Chelsea and just like these teams, Napoli can also make a difference with Cinte leading their endeavors.

roma is out of the top 4 positions in series A because when they were under mourinho's command, roma lost a lot of points even when they played against weak teams, i believe that if roma were with Daniele De Rossi at that moment roma would be at least the team that would be in position 2 or 3 in series A. but Daniele De Rossi arrived a little late, now Roma can only fight for position number 4 and there are many complicated games ahead, not just the game against leverkusen that will be difficult. tomorrow roma will play against napoli who despite not being good this season, still have great power and could beat roma and that would affect roma in the table

Then Roma will have a game against Juventus and Atalanta, they are two strong teams. most of roma's good players come from injuries, so all these difficult series A games will wear out roma's players a lot, so it becomes very clear that roma will come into the game against leverkusen worn out, so i see leverkusen with bigger chances of winning. and talking about leverskusen, they continue their unbeaten streak in the bundesliga. There are already 46 games without Leverkusen having lost It will be very difficult for Roma to beat Leverkusen, but it is not impossible. That's because Leverkusen has had a weak defense, but has compensated with a good attack that scored a goal in the final minutes. If Roma has a good defense, they will win the game


The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the  responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves.

 De Rossi has been given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be a bit difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament.

 Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. They have two tough encounters till the season is wrapped up where they'd face Juventus and Atalanta. Their two opponents over the years and recently respectively have proven to possess extreme fighting and contending abilities. They're very good competitors and they stand a victory chance when they both face Roma, thesame way Roma even if performing at an average pace can still prove to stay tough in games.

Atletico Madrid secured a 3-1 win at home, even though at the start of the match De Paul managed to break into Ath.Bilbao's goal, Atletico showed a tough game by controlling the match in the first half until the forty-fifth minute. Atletico managed to break into Atl's goal. Madrid through Williams and this draw ended the first half.
and continuing the rest of the match in the second half there were not many opportunities but in the fifth minute two Koke broke into Atletik's goal making the score 2-1 and in the remainder of the match Atletik lost a little energy to ease what happened. in the first half until finally Ath.Madrid was able to add a goal through Onw's goal, the match ended 3-1 in favor of Ath. Simione's Madrid were able to get a little further away from Athletic's pursuit and narrowed the gap with Barcelona.

And currently Real Madrid is very strong, with this team's game or performance being very strong, it is very difficult for Girona and Barcelona below to catch up, with a very strong team Real Madrid only needs one more win to ensure that. deserved to win the La Ligau title.
Athletico Madrid were ae to thrash Bilbao with a scoreline of 3-1 which showed how much they can be dominating in a game. They wete able to take the lead in few minutes though this lead was lost just at the brink of half time. ⁠The first half ended in a draw and you’ll think Bilbao will be able to consolidate on the draw and grow more fierce. Rather the reverse was the case for them as Atl. Madrid were able to control the game and mount more pressure which was able to get them extra 2 goals and enough to seal the win for them.

 ⁠The league is coming to an end and it’s evidently clear that Real Madrid will be the winners of the league especially after such remarkable season. Well Girona and Barcelona are the closest contenders but they haven’t  been able to gather enough points to be able to challenge Real Madrid.

 ⁠The La Liga is pretty competitive but I think it revolves majorly around Real Madrid qnd Barcelona as other clubs tend not to be able to perform better than these 2 clubs. Well this all balls down to investment in football and if that’s done we’ll be able to see major competitions in the league.

Kane sharpness in scoring goals so far certainly cannot be denied and even when in the Premier League he has become the top scorer even though he is unable to bring Tottenham to become champions, like in the English League, Kane is now also able to show how his instinct in destroying the goal of every opponent Munich, Munich no longer has hope of winning in the Bundesliga but Kane's performance so far certainly deserves our hat off because it is indeed in the season His first time with Munich he continued to be able to break records in the Bundesliga.

At the moment Guirassy is a competitor for Kane in terms of scoring goals in the Bundesliga but I think with only 3 games left it will be difficult for Guirassy to catch up with Kane's number of goals at the moment, but I think Guirassy has incarnated as a pretty great player and is able to lead Stuttgart to make new history by being in the top 4 when previously they have only ended up at the bottom of the table,  In addition to Guirassy, of course, we must also not forget Ikoma Lois Openda who is also quite sharp along with Leipzig at this time.
Kane's addition to the German side have been fruitful. He's been a major in their positive game outcomes, even though they're striving to get past their competitor on the table. Kane has been impactful and his contract is still open till 2027 with Munich which gives him ample time to do more with the team. He's been consistent in his job as the striker and he's not stopping at just letting goal chances slip by him. He's quality and his ability speedily increases weekly.
 
 His time at Tottenham was worthwhile and him joining the German side have even more increased his worthiness to be a standing forward. This is a door to greater football awards opportunity. He's young and has got spare time at his disposal too. So far he's been doing explicitly well for Munich which should be appreciated, even if his time with Tottenham had also been great. It's good he switched to Germany as he's gathered additional experience too.

 Even though he's done his best to score as much goals needed to place him at the toppest stand of the goal scorers in the league, it still isn't enough to place Munich in the 1st placed position either. He's done his best as the striker but generally, it's a team and collective effort to put Munich in the first position spot. This season isn't just the best for them as their performance is greatly different from their usual performances in other seasons.

 In the few games left this season, Munich still didn't have a chance at the Bundesliga trophy this season. They'll just have to try their luck next season. ⁠Bayern Munich haven’t been their best this season amd surprisingly when they signed Harry Kane, so many thought they’ll be really clear off the league but the reverse happens to be the case. Bayern Munich haven’t been impressive in their performance this season and it’s one thing that the new coach needs to worry about on the perfect tactics for this set of players.

During these 3 seasons, Salernitana has always struggled in the relegation zone, but fortunately in the first 2 seasons, Salernitana was still safe from the relegation zone and continues to play in Serie A, but this season, it seems that Salernitana can no longer survive in Serie A, its performance is getting worse and it is having difficulty getting up to achieve success important points in the remaining matches, even against fellow weak clubs, Salernitana was unable to beat them and get 3 points. We are very sure that Salernitana will return to Serie B next season. It seems that the Serie B clubs miss Salernitana returning to Serie B after 3 seasons. Salernitana fought very hard to compete in Serie A even though his struggle this season had to stop.

In the remaining 4 matches, 3 of which Salernitana will face quite tough matches and their chances of winning are very small because they will face Juventus, Atalanta and Milan. These three clubs are top clubs so it is very difficult for Salernitana to get points from them, there is even 1 The match, which was not too tough against Verona. Could not close the gap between Salernitana so far, so there is no longer any chance for Salernitana to save themselves from the relegation zone this season.
Salernitana has been in the serie A for over 3 seasons and it hasn’t been a bed of roses for them as they have struggled to keep being in the serie A for the 3 seasons. This season being the 3rd is not looking any better as they’re so dipped into the relegation zone of this season.

 Their performance hasn’t been top notched and you feel probably they can get saved rather their performance is worse match after match and you already know they don’t stand a chance. Their performance is an indication that they will sure be taken back to Serie B where they came from.

 ⁠I also think that when teams gets to top flight for them to still remain they need serious investments in order to still be at top flight level. With the current players they have you can’t see them being able to match any of their final opponents like Juventus, Atalanata at all because these teams are top teams that are in a chase too.

 ⁠They have made efforts but I think their efforts ain’t complementing the results gotten so it’s a big disappointment for the fans that the club will be relegated. Now I think clubs should take a cue and try to invest more when they get to top flight leagues.

In this match the atmosphere was very hot and fierce. The reason is, Al Ittihad players and Al Shabab players exchanged attacks in a very organized manner from the first minute of the match. In the first half, both teams created many opportunities. However, until halftime in the first half no goals had been scored. Then at the start of the second half in the 48th minute, Al Ittihad had to concede first through a very beautiful one-two pass from the Al Shabab players and the goal scorer was Diallo. Then after that Hamdallah was able to score Al Ittihad's equalizer in the 58th minute with a powerful header. However, unfortunately in the second half the Al Ittihad players often lost the ball and the ball was mostly controlled by the Al Shabab players. And the result after that was that Al Shabab was able to score 2 additional goals which determined Al Shabab's victory. So in that match Al Ittihad had to lose to Al Shabab at home with a score of 1-3.

So with this defeat, Al Ittihad failed to shift Al Ahli from 3rd position and is still in 5th position in the SPL standings. Then in this match the Al Ittihad players actually played quite well, especially in the first half. However, in the second half the Al Ittihad players were unable to maintain consistent performance so that the Al Shabab players were able to control the game. Maybe that was the fatal mistake that prevented Al Ittihad from winning this match. And I personally was very impressed with the performance of the Al Shabab players. Because they have very good mentality and skills. Maybe if Al Shabab players continue to be developed, I'm sure they can compete better in the SPL.
In the first stage of the match especially the first half we were able to see a balanced competition between Al-Ittihad and Al-Shabab as both teams were able to maintain possession of the ball. Though them maintaining position only made the first half of this match end in a goalless draw.

 ⁠Well the match went on to the second half and we could see the match mow changing up as Al-Shabab was able to get the first goal and break the deadlock. Well Al-Ittihad also got back into the game in no time and were also able to at least get an equalizer but I think the game went another way.

 Al-Ittihad started losing the balls and then Al-Shabab players grew confidently into the game and they were able to get 2 more goals in that match through their resilience. It’s important that in matches, teams show a hige fighting spirit as that could be a very big determinant to get the win.

 ⁠Al-Shabab players showed how much improvement can help a team grow better and if they can be able to keep up with such performance then they’re sure of being top 5 in the SPL. The result was a bad one for Al-Ittihad as they must now try to win their next match in order to get back to 3rd place on the log.

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.
Finance happens to be one very key part of football as it helps a team be able to acquire any kind of player they want and this result in a teams success and you can’t say less for PSG. The team has remained very dominant over the years especially since the Arab investors got this French club, you can see how they have been able to dominate the Ligue 1.

 ⁠They dominated the Ligue 1 so well that they are now regular winners of the league and yet no other team in the league is able to come close to stop them from being champions. This dominance though hasn’t been extended to their European football but with the current style of play, I think they’ll soon be top of the European football.

 I think there are still great teams in the league despite the league being termed farmers league, I think the league still needs a littlt more time to grow and develop especially these clubs needs to develop very well financially to be able to challenge on PSG. PSG's UCL form is truly worthy of all the questions it’s receiving as it’s with the way they’ve bossed the French league, you expect them to also at least have an iota of success in the UCL.

 With the way the owners keep getting top players you can tell they’re on a way to being one formidable side across Europe. They have varying record of experience in the European Competition and with massive investment then I think they will at least be winning their first UCL sooner.

Chelsea is the most unpredictable team ever, they have good players but I still wonder what their problem is, their last match against Aston villa showed that they are still babies and need someone with real team experience to play with them, their defence was so poor in the first halve and it was tho they couldn't hold themselves, I really wonder what is wrong with their coach, always starting Jackson knowing he is the best flop ever, does he even have a plan for Chelsea or  would we still be here for the next season.

Liverpool on the other hand has lost the title to arsenal and man City after playing a draw with West ham, they played well but I luck wasn't on their side as west ham wasn't gonna go down without a good fight. Leicester City has advanced to Premier league as they have played almost all their matches, they did exceptionally well in this season and showed how resilient they can be to reject the fate of staying in the championship league, they beat every other team hands down and was at some point leading with up to 15 points, the fate of leads United is still uncertain as they have played one match more than Ipswich and both have equal points, Ipswich has more chance of qualifying at this point than leads, unless they lose or draw this upcoming match.
This Chelsea squad is really a very young squad as in the most of their matches this season the average age of their squad is between 22-23 years. This alone shows how young and meek this squad is and what they need is proper grooming and sincerely Pochettino isn’t lacking in that.
 
 ⁠He’s got a good one in his ability to manage players and you can see that in the attitude of the boys up the pitch, how they maintain their position and respect each other’s opinion. I think the team has one major issue which is that voiceable leader who has enough experience in senior team football to be able to dictate the game to them.

 ⁠In the match against Villa though they started poorly but I think they grew momentum and controlled the game right from the 40th minute till the end. This grown momentun helped them to be able to bounce back into the game and get the draw even though they also got a last gasp winner buh was chopped off by VAR.

 ⁠I think this Chelsea team has a lot of prospect and just one or two major additions with enough senior team experience will be able to do the wonder for this Chelsea side. Let the fans not lose hope rather, they should hope the board sees this and makes the right move and trust me sooner or later this Chelsea side will grow to that fierce side.

Liverpool was doing bottle jobs at the end of the season and this is so damn good for me caused by city's competitor is now being eliminated, still hopes arsenal to have same result as liverpool in the last matches. Nothing surprising, given their lack of a winning mentality in the previous games have showed how bad their conditions. They deserved it. The trophy is owned by Manchester City or Arsenal and i think the winner will be between those clubs. If Arsenal loses against Tottenham, City has a good chance of winning the Premier League trophy this season. I'm hoping City will win it again because KING CITY deserves to be the Premier League's back-to-back champions. KING CITY must also set a new record by becoming the only team to win the EPL four times in a row. It would be fantastic if City could also own the Premier League for ten years. I'm overjoyed to see that Liverpool does bottle jobs.

It was extremely beneficial to the club's performance, which exceeded my expectations to see how liverpool was doing it better at the end of season. Manchester City's chances of winning the Premier League again until the end of the season are getting closer than I thought since city is also having more chances to get more points since arsenal is still 2 points below city. City has more unplayed matches than the Arsenal which is also giving a lot of chance for city to get the trophy again.

As long as City wins all of its remaining games and wins the Premier League this season and that's the point of this season. I am confident that the city will be able to accomplish this because it has so many talented players available to play in future games and losing the game is totally unacceptable result since the target owned by manchester city to win all of remaining games. .

Obviously this is coming from a dedicated Man City fan and I must congratulate you guys already for this new record if winning the EPL four times in a row. It’s a pity Liverpool failed us with their loss of form which resulted in them dropping points and now getting out of the title race.

 ⁠Well some persons still hope on Arsenal to do the magic but I think their chances are pretty slim as they have got more tougher fixtures than Man City and one of the first is later today against Tottenham. At the Emirates, they were able to get a 2-2 draw against this Tottenham side and yes, I think we might see a shocker today as I’m sire today’s match won’t end in a draw.

 ⁠Even if Arsenal wins, they still have the likes of West Ham and Man United who are in a race for UEL spot and as such you can understand how much pressure is already on Arsenal. So it’s safe for City to start celebrating especially if they’re able to win their outstanding and get back to being top of the table. ⁠Liverpool really played woefully in this end of the season as alot of thought they have a better experience and will be able to pull up the shocker. Well it’s happened already and now we must begin ti prepare for next season.

Sincerely the match is going to be tough and probably the real final of this champions league event, both teams are on top form and both have a good manager that has also proved themselves to be champions league winners, bayern suffered lose in their league and is unable to seize the title of winner against Bayer leverkusen and that poses a question if they are the better side to win the champions league.

Bayern has been on a top notch finishing this season and that is undeniably true and same with real madrid, real Madrid has a good forward set with vinicius as a real speedster that can forward any counter, real Madrid has a lot of players to be scared of in this upcoming match and most of all their zeal and passion to hold the title once again ever and claim their birth right tingles me to place my bet on real Madrid. The question is can bayern not concive against real Madrid that has both a sold defence and attack while bayern has more of an attack than defence and it even cost them their own league title. My bet is on real Madrid and that is because they have a more sold team than bayern in terms of overall strength, but miracles do happen as in the case of man City vs real Madrid, everyone was sure that man City had it in their hands, so many chances missed, they had kept Madrid at defence for more than all the second halve, everyone was tired but luck was on their side as the penalty coin rolled to them, would we be expecting a tough match like the one we just witnessed against man City and real Madrid or would the winner be already decide in the first leg playoffs.
These teams are two great teams in the uCl as they both have some good track record of successes in the ucl as a whole. Even against each other, you can see a fierce rivalry between them and as such that will spur up the moment of action when they both meet each other later this week.

 ⁠The history between these teams is one that makes us look forward to what this fixture holds for us. I think the winner of this fixture is pretty known but what will be lovely is us seeing both teams able to show out what they’ve got on the pitch of play. Both teams have different strengths and weaknesses and as such, you will sure expect a lot from this match.

 ⁠Bayern Munich have a very fierce attack that can score goals but that attack isn’t clinical enough and when you check the defense of this Bayern side, you’re sure going to see enough lapses. Real Madrid are very well balanced in the attack and defense as you can see how they were able to maintain Man City and also get the goals from their shaped paced attackers.

 The strength and weaknesses of these teams is a big testament to how this game will end as it will sure end in favor of Real Madrid because they’re better well placed than this current Bayern squad. The match will sure be an exciting and entertaining one and I’m looking forward to it already.

As we previously expected Madrid rotated in the match by saving some of their main players for the Champions League semi-finals, the victory over Real Madrid certainly made them currently more secure at the top of the table and now they only need one more win to be able to celebrate the La Liga title this season, Arda Guler who appeared from the first minute was able to surprise the match by becoming Madrid's hero with the only goal that He created it in that game, in recent weeks Arda Guller has been rumored to leave next season because he does not have many games for him to play.

Making him the first choice in that game is certainly the right choice for Ancelotti and as a result we can see how Arda Guler is able to answer the trust of the current coach, I think Arda Guler should get a lot of playing opportunities if indeed next season he stays at the Bernabeu, because in my opinion as a player who is quite talented of course he also has to have a lot of playing time to be able to hone his skills and also to cope with any pressure that exists.
It was very much interesting to watch Guler showcase his abilities and qualities in his debut game with Madrid against Mallorca. Ancelloti is a skillful man and he definitely knows when and how to use his players.  Madrid had a goal lead already and it was expected, they had to stay on top, gather up the 3points for the game too.

 Thankfully, the game between Girona and Atletico Madrid ended fairly for both side, but which ever way, it's an advantage for Madrid as the 3points from tonights game has kept them on top pending subsequent game results. Guler was a good impact during his last game for the team. Madrid even though more than much was expected from him but for a first game in a team, he did really good. This only resonates the sermons of how well built up Real Madrid squad is. The young players are definitely an extra advantage to the team's strength. Ancelloti has been able to bring up his boys into more fury and it's exactly what they need to stay strong.

 There's good coordination and the zeal is always up for them. It's very much good that the team has been able to stay strong up until now and they seem undaunted too. It'll be more beautiful to watch these present Madrid perform at their peak even up till next season, the players are gaining good level of experience and it's working out good on them. The tussle for the La Liga trophy is on even though Real Madrid are upper handed in the contest. Every game counts for both Real Madrid, Girona and Atletico Madrid too.

If you know the developments and positive impacts since Xabi Alonso coached the Leverkusen club, perhaps you would not now say that in his first season Xabi Alonso did not appear impressive at Leverkusen, even though in fact it was with the arrival of Xabi Alonso that this coach was able to save Leverkusen last season, which was almost relegated at that time. Leverkusen is ranked 17th in the standings so the club was forced to fire the previous coach Gerardo Seoane and was replaced by Xabi Alonso who gradually raised Leverkusen to 6th place, not an easy task for a coach who doesn't have much experience but can perform well in the Bundesliga where Xabi Alonso at least can give 1 international competition ticket.

And this season Xabi Alonso was able to give Leverkusen the Bundesliga trophy that Leverkusen had never experienced while in the Bundesliga this is Leverkusen's biggest achievement in their history. They trusted Xabi Alonso from the start until finally Xabi Alonso proved his skills, it is not impossible that Xabi will also give the European League title for the first time because now Leverkusen have reached the semifinals and will face an experienced club in the Europa League but I think Xabi can handle it.
Bayern Leverkusen have mow gotten themselves in the history books as they have been able to win their first ever Bundesliga title. The win over Werder Bremen was enough to hell them seal up their place in first place and get them the trophy. Their run to this win of the title has been one that’s been quite fascinating especially as they haven’t recorded any loss in their way up till this moment and also none across all competitions. This performance is real top notch and as such you can imagine how much efforts the boys and Xabi Alonso have put in to the success of this.
 
 Alonso has very much been impressive in his performances for Leverkusen. He's been watched and observed and in all his games, he's proven to present an outstanding and formidable team. He's just new in the business but yet still has set up a formidable team. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities. He's proven to be worthy to handle well any team presented to him and definitely I believe he can do well if another team is put in his care. Maybe his strategies work well for him and can still work well with another team. With Leverkusen, he's done well and he's working towards an aim for the club.

 He's been watched closely to see how well he'd be able to keep up with the games for the team and see how well he can uphold against their biggest threat in the Bundesliga. He's just been able to prove himself worthy to take on a higher ranked club. His good at what he's done so far even with a less productive squad as Leverkusen, now one would imagine how enormous he'd achieve with a productive squad with higher player capacity and quality. He's another one amongst many players turn coach that did well both in the pitch and in the manager's box too. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities.

I don't see any possibility of Mourinho returning to Manchester United, because after all this time Mourinho has not performed well at Manchester United, indeed currently Manchester United is in the search for a new manager but I think Manchester will not make Mourinho as an option to replace Ten Hag, Morineho's coaching is very short and only ended in disappointment for both parties at that time,  I think at the moment Manchester United's owners will be inclined to find another coach and maybe Zidane could be the right solution to replace Ten Hag at Manchester United next season.

I think ten Hag has a lot of mistakes that he should be able to correct during his time at Manchester United, Manchester United's performance is getting worse every day even though their squad is filled with good players, but unfortunately many of ten Hag's decisions in optimizing Manchester United players have actually become boomerangs that make them often lose so far,  For now I think Ten Hag no longer has the full support of the fans and also the Manchester United management to keep coaching.
For United, they've had good records from the beginning of their existence till 2seasons ago when they started experiencing gradual decline. Their coach switches has an effect on the team, they found it hard to secure a good coach that complements and will impact the team positively. And this has been on and on till this season when the situation got critical and United is literally nowhere to be found in the top 4 spot and they keep going behind in their struggle each passing week.
 
 Ten Hag is obviously not good for them currently as the team keeps slacking back and they do not stop looking confused on the pitch. All his implemented tactics and strategies aren't okay off well for him and it's safe to say that as the head of the team, he's got the greater part of the blame to bear. United needs a switch and not just any switch but a more reasonable switch that'll understand their condition and think innovatively without sentiments with the goal of team building and growth and implement new methods to combat their opponents. I don't know what the board is waiting for to realize the big error Ten Hag is to the team.

 The entire team has been infected with his virus and they need to be quarantined and looked after to return back to their usual self again. Sadly it may take a while but we hope it's soon. So far, United haven't proven to be relevant this season. There's been important games that they themselves have thrown away because of how incompetent they're turned out to be at playing at the peak of their performances. Well, it's only sad that they experience this height of team leakage and breakage too. They just have to find a permanent solution to their issue.

 I must say that the issue is a general team predicament and they need to be set back to default mode. They currently are a very much predictable team though in terms of poor performance which is wrong and should be corrected and worked on. They've lost as much authority that they once possessed and gradually it's eating deep into the general area of the club which ought not to be so.
