 Atalanta play Lecce in Serie A today ahead of the Europa League final. Lecce is a relatively weak team. And as expected today we got a better performance from Atalanta. The match is very important for Atalanta. Because Atalanta still has the possibility of qualifying for the fourth place in the table if they win the next matches. Atalanta will not want to miss this opportunity. In the first half we did not see a good performance from Atalanta's players. Atalanta's gameplay was a bit slow. But Atalanta scored two goals at the beginning of the second half. Atalanta scored the first goal in the 48th minute and Atalanta scored the second goal in 5 minutes alter. At the moment, the Atalanta team is leading by 2-0. Atalanta's victory was inevitable and this advantage did not change at all so that Atalanta secured the full 3 points against Lecce. This was an important victory to maintain Atalanta's chances of being able to play in the upcoming Champions League. While other teams are less consistent, here Atalanta has achieved its 5th win in a row. Meanwhile, for Lecce, this defeat certainly doesn't make them safe considering that the competition at the bottom is getting fiercer as the season ends. There is not much they can do except win the remaining matches so they can stay in Serie A next season. But it looks like Lecce won't have too much trouble considering that their only opponent is Napoli, who have been so bad this season that a draw would be enough for them. |

 Roberto DI Zerbi has parted ways with Brighton football club. This comes as a shock, there have been no talks of him leaving and out of no where he has left. This should suggest he has had some personal conversations with some other club, Bayern? Juventus? And he wants to give Brighton enough time to find a replacement before next season. He is an Italian and played in Seria A and has coached there too, so a return to Italy is not off the cards. But I will put Bayern at the top of the list to sign him. They are desperate for a new coach and cannot afford to get it wrong with how disastrous this season has been. - Jay - It's a shame that De Zerbi had to part ways with Brighton and with this news speculation has begun to resurface about his future. If it is Bayern Munich, this has been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano in his latest tweet that De Zerbi will not be Bayern Munich coach next season. This was processed for the last time last week. Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1791886823104319637
So maybe De Zerbi will return to Italy, whether to Juventus or even Bologna. We know that if everything goes well then Thiago Motta will become Juventus coach and De Zerbi could be a good option to manage Bologna. So I think that's what's happening in the coming weeks. |

Real Sociedad's narrow victory was very important in maintaining its current position and at the same time appearing in the European league in the coming season. The only winning goal was scored by Andre Silva in the early minutes of the match against Valencia and that was enough to help Real Sociedad in renewing its record which has not been very consistent so far.
I think Real Sociedad must prove to their fans again by winning in the remaining two matches and at the same time as initial capital that they can be proud of at the start of next season. We know that after appearing in the Champions League this season, instead of continuing to improve, Real Sociedad actually declined and they repeatedly got poor results in every match.

So far Leverkusen is ahead by 2 goals and they really want to close out the Bundesliga this season without ever losing a single game. Leverkusen's goal tap was opened by Boniface and Andrich from the start of the match and this is still a provisional result for the first half and it is likely that there will be other goals in the second half.
Xabi Alonso's team is really crazy and they really want to close out all competitions without losing. I'm curious whether next season they can repeat this success and if that happens then there really is no team that can stop them. Well, let's wait for the results against Ausgburg and I think Leverkusen will still win with a landslide score with more than 3 goals and at the same time close the Bundesliga with a total of 90 points.

Fiorentina and Napoli only share one point after drawing 2-2 in the 37th week of Serie A and this result still leaves both teams unchanged on the standings. I think Napoli will be able to overtake Fiorentina and appear in one of the European competitions, but unfortunately that still hasn't happened.
On the other hand, the two teams currently have a difference of 2 points and Fiorentina is slightly favored in securing that place considering that they still have 2 matches left and Napoli only has one more against Lecce later. So it is certain that with Napoli's poor performance so far they will not be able to finish taking Fiorentina's position and conversely it will be easier for Torino to shift Napoli from 9th position in the standings with a difference of 2 points.

Recently Niklas Sule appearance became a hot topic of conversation during a training session with Dortmund ahead of preparations against Real Madrid in the upcoming UCL final. I'm not sure whether he will start in this important match, not that I doubt it but as we know Real Madrid can really benefit. According to SPORTS BRIEF, Sule weight and eating habits are irregular, he often eats 6 pizzas and 8 kebabs. I don't really understand the fitness of football players, but as a lay person seeing Niklas Sule overweight could be a problem for him on the field, especially against Real Madrid which must be taken seriously. Like last time against Mainz Dortmund suffered a 3-0 defeat. I don't mean anything by it, but it's just strange to see because usually football athletes are always on a diet, maintaining their body shape so that they maintain a sixpack.  On my timeline, Niklas Sule's appearance often appears and who would have thought that he was the same player who thwarted Kylian Mbappe's golden opportunity some time ago. Now we can know that Niklas Sule's eating habits are very unnatural with that many calories, making him seem like he is not an ideal football player in general. I don't think the club will reprimand him at all, especially as it is getting closer to the final match against Real Madrid and if it is allowed to continue like this, it is not impossible that Niklas Sule will lose his place in the starter. He has to face players with high speed like Rodrygo and Vinicius, so how will he stop him if he doesn't lose weight in this short time. It's a shame that eating too much means Niklas Sule will lose his performance. |

Even though the match result against Sheffield United will not affect Tottenham in any way even if they lose it but I think the Tottenham fans will surely not be happy if their team are unable to beat the bottom team of the table. I guess Tottenham will wrap up this season with a victory for their travelling fans in their final match tomorrow against Sheffield United.
Of course Spurs have to win because if they lose they will likely lose their place in the European league and instead enter the conference league. That could happen if Chelsea manages to win against Bournemouth and take Spurs' place on goal difference. Therefore, Spurs cannot take this match lightly and must get 3 definite points from Sheffield. On the other hand, as we know, Sheffield has no hope of surviving in the EPL considering that they have been included as one of the teams that were relegated this season and it is quite worrying that they will play completely against Spurs to win. If it comes to that, Spurs' chances of staying in 5th place will be even smaller and as I said at the beginning, Chelsea will take advantage of that opportunity. |

PSG still seemed determined to win and they did that when they visited Nice's headquarters by securing an additional 3 points from that match. Even though they are playing without Mbappe, this is not a problem for PSG and they have to start getting used to this so they don't become dependent on the French star.
Apart from that, Nice, which I initially favored to win, failed to add to their points collection, but at least their position to play in the European league is locked considering that Lens only has one game left so Nice's points will not be overtaken.
Against Nice in yesterday match was certainly one of the experiments for Luis Enrique by fielding their reserve squad, for now I think Luis Enrique is no longer targeting victory in each of their remaining games because there is no longer a target to get points, so that is what makes Enrique field their reserve squad in that match, If PSG still need points then it would be impossible for Enrique to field their reserve squad against Nice and that can be seen from PSG previous matches which are even very rare PSG to field second-tier players even though they faced weak teams before they won the championship trophy this season. About winning the game, of course, it seems that it is beyond what Enrique expected, because indeed every reserve player will of course try to show their best performance when the coach gives the opportunity to play, because then it will make their chances to return play in the next match will be open, now Nice dream of playing in the Champions League has disappeared after an inconsistent season journey, But at least they are still lucky enough to get a place in the Europa League next season. That's right, if Luis Enrique doesn't do that then he won't have any additional strategy ahead of next season's matches. This is very necessary, especially for a team as big as PSG, which always dominates Ligue One every season and indeed its second tier players must also be given playing minutes so they can be more symmetrical with the other players. PSG have forgotten about the champions league this season which they can't get back and of course they are not giving up one bit in bringing the trophy home someday. That dream is still firmly entrenched and PSG will not give up with countless failures. They believe they will win the title and with the squad they continue to build. |

The source named Football Transfers says that Michael Olise is a target for Arsenal, Manchester United and Aston Villa. However in this race I think the Red Devils have a difficult work to do because of not qualifying for the Champions League.  Olise is only 22 years old now. He has a good future considering his performances so far. This season is his most productive season with 10 goals, 5 assists in 18 Premier League games. He is a great kind of a winger by scoring lots of goals in addition to passes. His current market value is 50 million euros but Crystal Palace would surely demand quite more money for him. Of the three teams mentioned, perhaps only Manchester United really needs a productive winger like Michael Olise. This is not without reason considering that Antony's performance is felt to be very far from expectations, especially as Antony is also on Manchester United's sales list for next summer so Michael Olise has the opportunity to fill the position left behind. The problem may come back to the fantastic transfer fees in the future, especially since Crystal Palace knows that if there is interest from the Red Devils then they will increase the price to an unreasonable level. Instead of 50 million euros, I think Crystal Palace will set a slightly more expensive fee of between 60 and 70 million euros for Michael Olise. |

After their victory over Newcastle, is it possible that Manchester United will also be able to beat Brighton in their final EPL match this season? Even though we know that this will not allow Manchester United to overtake Chelsea's position, what is clear is that at least it can slightly improve their finishing position this season.
We know that injuries have been an endless nightmare for the Red Devils squad this season and we also won't be able to see their best performance if they still have the same problem later. As a result, Manchester United lost several places that could have been theirs and in the end they didn't get anything. There is concern that if Manchester United's medical team is still filled with the same people, it will only make the long list of injured players take longer to recover.

So far Al-Ittihad still haven't won and last night they were again held to a draw by Al-Khaleej with the same score of 1-1. I think Al-Ittihad's bad period this season is still not over and they also couldn't do a good job towards the end of the season. As of the last 4 matches, Al-Ittihad still haven't tasted victory again and that will make it even more difficult for them to get a place in the Asian Champions League.
I think Al-Ittihad's attack level is decreasing and unlike last season when they performed extraordinary in crushing their opponents, especially against weak teams, it should be a realistic win for them. Well, maybe the transition process from Al-Ittihad still takes quite a long time and that is why they rarely win.

Liverpool had official announcement said thanks two players Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip after both of them contract expiring and Liverpool not extended their contract. I think Thiago Alcantara most injuring and has opportunity few appearance for Liverpool in this season make management not extend his contract, currently in midfielder position right now Liverpool has many option for replacing his position.
The same condition with Thiago Alncanta, in Premier League season 2023/24 its not good start for Joel Matip just getting 10 appearance of 37 matches because he most of injury and absent for longer time. Actually both of them is most important players for Liverpool success won UEFA Champion League and Premier League trophies last several season.
It didn't feel like these two important players who had become the mainstay of the Reds had to say goodbye and sometimes every farewell had to be done so that the team could develop further in the future. Here, Liverpool is very right to let go of these two players, especially since their age is no longer able to be productive in a competition that is becoming more competitive every season. Thiago and Matip were extraordinary figures at the start of their careers at Liverpool and increasingly we see that all teams are always bringing in new players every season to strengthen the depth of their squad and Liverpool must do the same if they don't want to be left behind. Maybe injury was Thiago's nightmare while at Liverpool, even though he was one of the talented midfielders at that time. |

These are last chances for Napoli to qualify for a tournament. They are still two points behind Fiorentina and the bad news is Fiorentina have a missing game to play as well. It seems like it will be really difficult for Napoli to do this job. Because this team just can't win you know. It has been five weeks without a win in the Serie A. The players have no morale left and it is hard to believe in them to perform this task on the remaining two game weeks. What do you think, can they do this? Fiorentina are dealing with the Conference League too on one hand. Meanwhile maybe they might give a chance for Napoli to get past them. But I don't think Napoli will do it. I no longer have any hope for Napoli since their failure in the last few matches and instead of them chasing a place in the conference league, it would be better for them to start thinking about how to organize their performance again like last season when they became champions. There is nothing they can be proud of this season other than their endless failures. On the other hand, I would favor Fiorentina who will get a place in the conference league considering that this is their daily routine and they are also preparing to play the final match of this season's conference league which will take place soon. So Fiorentina's motivation is much more pronounced than what Napoli currently has. |

It would be very funny if Borussia Dortmund were afraid of Real Madrid, and if only they really had that pessimistic feeling, then that would only be the beginning of their nightmare. Whoever team makes it to the final, will definitely have the ambition to win the trophy because it is only one step away. No exception with Borussia Dortmund, even though they are aware that Real Madrid has a level and power above them but they were certainly ready for the final match because playing in the Champions League final is not an opportunity that they can easily get at another time.
If Borussia Dortmund are afraid and pessimistic then they do not deserve to play in the UCL final. If Borussia Dortmund did not have a good mentality they would have been eliminated even in the round of 16. I'm sure that even though many people are favoring Real Madrid to become champions, Borussia Dortmund will definitely fight hard to get the UCL trophy. Nothing is impossible in football. They can also provide surprises. I also believe they are very ready to face El Real. Even though I personally favor Real Madrid to become champions, this will not be an easy match. I hope both teams can give their best performance that night. Dortmund has indeed proven that they have a similar mentality in general and we can see that so far as they go through each round which often has their hopes dashed. They are not a superior team like the others but what we saw from Dortmund was more than that until they reached the final round of the champions league. What is clear is that Dortmund should not be pressured by the trivial opinion of most people out there and they just need to prove that even in front of the giants of the Champions League, they can also do the same thing and they must make it happen when they face Real Madrid later. Currently, in my opinion, the two teams cannot be rejected just by history and experience, what is more important is the readiness of the two teams who both want to win this title. |

It is fitting for Barcelona to win against the team that was relegated this season, namely Almeria, and if there are no obstacles then it is certain that Barcelona will finish in second place. This can be said to be correct considering that Barcelona continues to correct every previous mistake and they can continue to widen Girona's position.
However, there is ridiculous news that I just heard today where Xavi will reportedly be fired by Barcelona at the end of the season. In fact, we all know that previously Xavi gave up his plans after receiving full support from the president and club management. I don't know what the reason was that made him have to leave Barcelona again and if at the end of the season this news is true then Barcelona must also be prepared to find the right replacement so that Barcelona can do better next season.

Ederson has been ruled out of the final Premier League game against West Ham and the FA Cup final. This might actually make things harder for West Ham and Man United because the second-choice keeper, Ortega, is considered even better than Ederson at making saves. But is Ortega really better than Ederson at making saves? I didn't say Ortega isn't a good keeper; both are good in their own ways. Ortega might be better at saves, but playing out from the back won't be as smooth without Ederson. I think Pep is disciplining Ederson for his behavior when he was substituted in the last game. Maybe Ederson didn't realize how bad his injury was. Credit to the medical team and Pep for making the tough but right decision. I don't think this is a big loss. Ortega has certainly saved Man City before, so this shouldn't stop them from winning the Premier League and the FA Cup.
Ederson's absence in the next two matches has caused deep concern for the Manchester City squad and Pep Guardiola is certainly quite confused considering that he is only one step away from securing his two coveted titles this season. I think Ortega is still not as good as Ederson even though we often see him making crucial saves and maybe it will still be a gamble that Manchester City has to complete even though they use their second line goalkeeper. Regarding Ederson's emotional attitude, I think it's natural considering that he has been the focus since the start of the season and doesn't want to waste the remaining matches by getting injured, so it's quite understandable if his frustration is so overwhelming. But Ederson must realize that here Pep Guardiola understands best and he must accept the decision that Pep Guardiola has chosen. We'll see whether Ortega will save Manchester City with such a difficult task and if he succeeds then Ederson should be proud of his team mates. |

As I have previously thought, Bayern Munich will still retain Tuchel for next season and the reason is of course because of the rejection of several coaching candidates. Bayern Munich has no other choice but to rely on Tuchel and at least there are still several players such as Neuer, Muller, Goretzka and Musiala who want him to stay.
Bayern Munich better think about other options later when there is an open door from another coach because I don't think Tuchel has failed too much considering that he succeeded in bringing Bayern Munich to the semi-finals of the Champions League and it is worth trying again even though they have to lose the title in the main competition.
I don't know why Bayern Munich management insists that they will part away with Tuchel at the end of the season, even after several coaches have rejected their offer. I don't think Tuchel was responsible for Bayern Munich's bad performance this season. However, Bayern Munich's performance this season has been amazing, but there is no consistency in their games. Many people think that Tuchel was responsible for the issues going on with Bayern Munich this season. But with Tuchel Bayern Munich reaching the Champions League semifinal, even in the Bundesliga league, they are still in the second position. In my opinion, Tuchel needs more seasons to get used to the club since there's a lot of pressure on him this season. Though the Bundesliga is not a tough league, even though Bayern Munich appoints a new head coach next season, I don't think it will be easy to get used to the club. Let's see what will happen after the season ends because I don't think the management will change their decision for Tuchel to remain in the league. To be more precise, Bayern Munich does not think that there will be a serious competitor emerging this season so they are not ready to anticipate it. It's natural for Tuchel to receive criticism and criticism out there for not being able to produce the results the public wants, but I believe everyone will not think like that. It is true that Tuchel should be given more time to handle this team because a season and a half is too short and he must know the overall characteristics of all his players in more depth. This is really needed to create a proportional squad and at the same time be able to make Bayern Munich a dominator in the Bundesliga again. It's not easy, but club management must defend him if offers to other coaches have been rejected. Everything depends on the end of the season and we can only wait for real certainty. |

 https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1771235217719644235?t=fHxmp50KTr9br9g6lc5A8g&s=19It is very certain that he is waiting to see the approach of the club for the new coach. Maybe there is a chance that he will move away from the club if he does not like the new coach. I think he is waiting to see if they can bring Alonso. I do not have any proof of it. It is just a feeling. But I believe if they do not bring in a really good coach, he is going to move out of the squad. Kimmich has indeed become one of the players who rebelled amidst Tuchel's tenure and as a senior player I think he has his own reasons for that. Of course, strategies and direction that are not aligned are one of the reasons why he doesn't feel at home at Bayern Munich anymore as long as Tuchel is still coaching. However, even if he still feels uncomfortable in the future, I think it is time for him to leave with everything he has achieved with Bayern Munich and try a new challenge outside Germany. He is 29 years old and as a player he is considered very mature, at least he can go to the EPL or La Liga if he wants to increase his experience of playing more competitively. |

The hat trick scored by Griezmann against Getafe made Atletico more comfortable in fourth place in the standings and there is no doubt that Atletico will return to the Champions League next season. It was a big win as Atletico also managed to win four in a row so far.
On the other hand, Atletico can still compete to finish in third place if in the next two matches they manage to sweep clean with wins against Osasuna and Real Sociedad. This is quite reasonable considering that Girona has underperformed in the last few matches so Diego Simione's squad has a real chance.
