 Source: EspncricinfoThe England team is going to face India today in the fifth and final Test match of the series. England started the series with a fantastic win in the first match. But even then England lost three matches in a row and lost the series as well. England lost every match due to poor batting. The batsmen are not able to do well against the Indian bowlers on this Indian pitch. In the last match we saw that the England players batted well in the first innings. They collected 353 runs. But in the second innings England team lost all the wickets to collect only 145 runs. and gave a target of only 192 runs. It is impossible to win against India by giving such a small target. Naturally, India won very easily. India team played against Australia on this pitch of Dharmashala in 2017. And India won the match by 8 wickets. It is difficult to bat well in the second innings on this pitch. If the batsmen of England bat badly in this match as in the previous matches, then the team will lose the series 4-1. The batsmen must play well if England are to win. The host India will take on England today in the fifth and final Test match of the series. Team India has already lost three out of four matches and won three consecutive matches to seal the series. The win-loss of the fifth Test match will not affect the series win as India has already won the series. Having won three matches in a row, Team India is much ahead of England in terms of confidence. Team India will look to perform in the fifth and final T20 match as they have done in the last three matches. If the performance is normal then the result of the fifth Test match is more likely to go in favor of India. England team is going to be defeated in today's match out of the last three matches. England's batsmen did not think that they would bat so badly in today's match. I was hoping that in the last match maybe England's experienced batsmen could play well and finish the series 3-2. But now it looks like the series will end at 4-1. England lost their fourth wicket for 175 runs. And England's innings stopped at 218 runs. England lost 7 wickets to collect 43 runs. We never expected England's veteran batting order to bat like this. Zak Crawley scored the highest for England. Besides, no other batsman could bat well. - Zak Crawley (79)
- Ben Duckett (27)
- Jonny Bristol (29)
- Joe Root (26)
- Ben Foakes (24)
Apart from these 5 batsmen, all other batsmen's batting was very bad. Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav destroyed England's batting order today. Ashwin managed to take 4 wickets in 11.4 overs and Kuldeep Yadav 5 wickets in 15 overs. |

Jürgen Klopp explains latest on Mo Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai fitness Source: Liverpoolfc.comThis is great news for Liverpool fans. Liverpool's main striker Mohamed Salah will be seen with the squad in their next match. I don't think the Sparta Praha team is too strong though. But since the match is Sparta Praha's home match, Liverpool players will have to play carefully. If you make a mistake in this away match, there is a big possibility that Liverpool will lose or the match will be a draw. Klopp is an experienced coach. Hope he will not make any mistake in this match. Liverpool will try their hardest to win the Europa League title. Liverpool really need to have Salah for their squad because is is their best attacking players recent seasons. I hope that Klopp and Liverpool are carefully with using Salah after his recovery. They must use him some minutes and increase the time of playing for Salah to help him gradually return and won't get another injury. Salah is necessary for Liverpool in many matches of season, not only a next match. I think in this match, Klopp should use Salah for 20-25 minutes in the second half. If Liverpool's attacking players don't perform well, Klopp will likely replace Salah and give him a chance to play at the start of the second half. However, if Liverpool's performance is good, Liverpool should not keep Salah on the field for a long time. Because Salah is back in the squad after a long injury layoff. And if Salah face an injury again, it will have a negative impact on Liverpool's overall performance. The match against Sparta Praha is like a warm up match for Salah. Liverpool should not expect too much from Salah in this match. This will increase Salah's tendency to get injured again. But I doubt whether Mohamed Salah will be in the starting XI against Sparta Prague. Klopp will probably not take this risk. Salah is back with the squad after a long time. Also, more important than the win against Sparta Praha is getting points against Manchester City in their next match. Liverpool will definitely need Mohamed Salah if they want to perform well against City. Looking forward to see what Klopp decides.
I have same thinking too as Liverpool will only reserve Salah on bench and only use him for several minutes in the second half. They can use Salah when result is bad and they need to equalize it or good and they feel safely to use Salah. Liverpool are powerful to beat Sparta Praha even without using Salah and by this, they have no reason to hurry using the player. I agree with you. It would be better for Liverpool to use Salah for a few minutes in the second half. Then maybe Salah can play better in the important match against Manchester City. At the same time I don't think it will be a difficult task for Liverpool to beat Sparta Praha. Because without Salah, Liverpool's performance in the past matches was good. Liverpool's attack and defense are quite strong. Hopefully Liverpool won't need Salah to beat Sparta Prague. |

I'd say it's a good result for Madrid. A draw would have seen Madrid qualify for the quarter-finals. Therefore, Real Madrid did not need to win by a large margin in this match. I even think that the Madrid players played for a draw in this match.
From how they played, it looks like they played for a draw but it is a risky strategy because we saw that Leipzig nearly came to a second goal and only luckiness can help Real Madrid to avoid a second conceded goal. If Leipzig score that goal, the match will go with 30 more minutes for 2 extra halfs and maybe penalty shootouts. I agree with you that this was a very risky strategy. But Madrid is a very experienced team. Ancelotti in particular is a very experienced coach. And he knows the opponent's weakness very well. In this match, Leipzig played attacking strategy from the beginning of the match. They were defeated in the first leg match. So Leipzig needed to win this match by a margin of 2-0. And since Leipzig played attacking strategy, Ancelotti was tactical in this match. He kept Madrid's defense tight. And the Madrid players tried to score from the counter attack. Although Madrid kept their defense tight, they produced several excellent counter attacks. And until the end, Madrid managed to draw 1-1. Madrid did not attack much in this match. In the first leg match against Leipzig, Madrid played completely attacking. But in today's match, Madrid's main goal was to keep their defense strong. Leipzig played a completely attacking strategy today, while Madrid kept their defense tight and counter-attacked. We didn't see any goals in the first half because of Madrid's defensive play. If Madrid played attacking strategy, maybe we would have seen many goals in this match. Because Leipzig's players tried a lot to score. But Leipzig's players could not find any weakness in Madrid's defense.
I saw it too and Leipzig shown their strength against the most successful club in Champions League history. The opponent are still one of best candidates for Champions League title this season but Leipzig were not fearful, they simply played and enjoyed their own football style. This match ended as a draw but Leipzig actually took advantage of this match to show off some of their good young players and they potentially will have some profitable transfers in the summer market. The way Leipzig's players performed in Real Madrid's home match is absolutely commendable. Leipzig's players really played well in this match, and I would say that Leipzig's players performed better than Madrid's. However, Real Madrid qualified for the quarter-finals. Performance in Madrid is still very stable. Madrid players are in a good rhythm. Real Madrid will not face any obstacles in winning the La Liga title. Now Ancelotti will try his best for the Champions League title. |

We have seen in the past seasons that Dortmund have no interest in winning the Bundesliga title. The main goal of this team is to find talented young players, then develop them with some experience, and then sell the players at very high prices and profit. This is what this team has been doing for the past few seasons. Even though the points gap between Dortmund and Munich in the Bundesliga is not too big, I don't think that the Dortmund team is interested in winning the title. The Dortmund management has ambitions to win the title. Perhaps the team thought that breaking Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga was impossible for them.
However, Leverkusen is likely to be the champion this season. After a long time, Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga has waned. Expect several teams to compete for the title in the coming seasons. Dortmund, Leverkusen, Leipzig and Frankfurt are strong teams. But I hope next season the Dortmund management will build a stronger squad, and fight for the title.
It's not interesting to discuss Dortmund because they don't have a winning mentality every time they look at the season and what they do is more about business that benefits the club owner. They always sell the great players they have and even the players they sell are generally successful when they are at other clubs and manage to win titles. Now the competition is not Bayern Munich, but Leverkusen who managed to top the standings and for Dortmund there is almost no chance of catching them. That is the main point. Dortmund's management is business minded. They are only interested in making money by selling players. Dortmund management has no desire to win the title. Dortmund could have been champions if they had won the last match of the previous season. But they missed the big chance to win the title in the last season as well. I wonder if Dortmund had Lewandowski, Haaland, Haller and Bellingham in their squad, what a great attacking line-up they could have made! But that didn't happen. Dortmund management made a lot of money by selling players when these players were in peak form. And I think they will continue to do so in the future unless Dortmund's management changes. If other teams could play like Leverkusen then the Bundesliga would be even more interesting, but that is difficult to do because club owners don't have a big budget to recruit good players. Now Bayern Munich is also trying to persuade Xabi Alonso to move and if this is successful then next season Leverkusen will again be a club that is not taken into account because they have lost a great coach.
First of all I would say the players have to have a winning mentality. And definitely need management support. Leverkusen doesn't have a strong squad, Xabi Alonso's match strategy and hard work from the players has made Leverkusen unstoppable this season. Players need to be confident, along with experienced coaches, it is possible for teams to fight for titles. Dortmund, Leipzig and Frankfurt have the ability to build a stable squad. But clubs won't waste money if they don't want to win the title. |

Dortmund seriosuly is club where youngsters flourish before moving elsewhere, i wouldn't blame them to keep any of this sold players because first they don't have that financial capability to keep them like the big spending clubs due to the growing wages. Secondly this players will definitely wants to move even if they try to keep them, most of this players could even go as far running down their contract just to move example is Lewandowski move to bayern, which would make them miss out on huge profits of selling them. So as long as Dortmund aren't that bouyant yet to keep high wage players, the best thing is for them to sell off
With many potential players being sold from Dortmund, such as Erling Haaland, Robert Lewandowski, and Jude Bellingham, who came from the Dortmund team and were sold to several very professional international teams, such as Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid, At least this shows that Dortmund is known as a team that produces talented players, and its players are currently highly sought after by coaches. With the sales results, as you have said, Dortmund has managed to make a lot of profit. Even though Dortmund has never won the Bundesliga, they still earn large amounts of money from the sales of the players. We have seen in the past seasons that Dortmund have no interest in winning the Bundesliga title. The main goal of this team is to find talented young players, then develop them with some experience, and then sell the players at very high prices and profit.

leipzig vs real madrid
Very disappointed with the result.
Manchester city vs copenhagen
Yeah city win again and it's all predicted.
Well, I do not think it’s so disappointing for Real Madrid, considering the fact that they won the tie on aggregate and are onto the next round alongside English side Manchester city. With several core injuries, Ancelotti is leading the Madrid team well I'd say it's a good result for Madrid. A draw would have seen Madrid qualify for the quarter-finals. Therefore, Real Madrid did not need to win by a large margin in this match. I even think that the Madrid players played for a draw in this match.  Source: 365scoreMadrid did not attack much in this match. In the first leg match against Leipzig, Madrid played completely attacking. But in today's match, Madrid's main goal was to keep their defense strong. Leipzig played a completely attacking strategy today, while Madrid kept their defense tight and counter-attacked. We didn't see any goals in the first half because of Madrid's defensive play. If Madrid played attacking strategy, maybe we would have seen many goals in this match. Because Leipzig's players tried a lot to score. But Leipzig's players could not find any weakness in Madrid's defense. |

Roma has indeed shown glimpses of their potential as a strong team, and their points total since De Rossi in charge reflects their competitiveness in the league. the Mourinho period may have hindered their ascent to the top of the table. This proves how a coach who familar to the club knows better what it needs to be done when things went wrong.
Roma only met one big club under De Rossi management and they lost it to Inter Milan. Before Mourinho was sacked, Roma was in a streak of big matches against toughest opponents in Serie A. I am not defending Mourinho but I believe De Rossi will have difficulty when facing those big opponents too. For his management and performances of Roma recent matches, it's good even not perfect and it sheds some hopefully light for Roma not only in this season but next one. There are still plenty of problems within the Roma squad. De Rossi is not a bad coach. After the change of coach, the Roma team continued to win in Serie A. They are playing well enough. However, Roma have won every match they have played against mediocre and lesser teams. Roma can't make any advantage against Inter Milan. Roma lost badly against Inter Milan. So I'd say it's not right to expect too much from Daniele De Rossi just yet. However, Daniele De Rossi's stats with Roma are very good. After Daniele De Rossi became coach, Roma played 9 matches, out of which Roma won 7 matches and lost only against Inter Milan. But most of the teams were relatively weak clubs. Brighton that is managed by De Zerbi has been performing commendably that is potentially even overachieving given their resources and squad composition. The capability of De Zebri has undoubtedly played a significant role in Brighton's respectable performance. Considering these factors, it's reasonable to expect that the upcoming game between AS Roma and Brighton may not be a straightforward affair. Roma may have the edge in terms of overall quality and experience, but Brighton's youthful energy and tactical acumen could pose a challenge.
Brighton made a lot of impression last season but they can not maintain it this season. De Rossi and De Zebri are friend with each other in real life and it's interesting to see they have to fight each other on field in next two matches. I expect that their matches will have a lot of goals with philosophy that prioritizes attacking of both coaches. I wouldn't call the Brighton team weak. There is no chance to call this team weak. Strong enough team Brighton. But now Brighton is not in good form. Brighton failed to win against teams like Fulham and Everton in last two matches of Premier League. Brighton lost against Wolves in the FA Cup match. Brighton's victory against Roma will not be possible if they are in such form. I consider Roma as the favorite in this match. |

Some people thought the Bayern will perform poorly yesterday and might noy qualify to the next round, but deep down in me I knew it that Bayern will qualify because they know what is at stake for them to lose the match. Baten is always strong at home, and they will score goals to just make sure that they qualify, no matter how many goals that their opponent scored in their home match. I guess that their poor performance in their last game was because they don't want any injury, so that they can be able to play and win their champion league game against Lazio. I was sure Bayern Munich would win. But I doubted whether they could win by 2 goals. As we haven't seen better performances from Bayern Munich in the last few matches. Their performance was very erratic and weak. But Bayern Munich played great. Tuchel's match strategy was good in this match. The players of Bayern Munich did not make any mistakes in this match. They dominated and won the match right from the beginning of the match. Bayern Munich's players did not allow Lazio's players to create any attacking opportunities. Importantly, Harry Kane was blamed by many people after Munich's defeat in the previous match. Many attributed Harry Kane's bad luck to Munich's defeat against Lazio. And Harry Kane's brace helped Munich win the second leg against Lazio and qualify for the quarter-finals. Manchester City will win Copenhagen today, and I don't think that it will be a difficult match for them, because they are stronger than their visitors. Bayern might face difficulties when they meet with a strong club in the next match, but I still believe that they will be able to also win their next game. However, if they meet a strong team like Real Madrid or Man City they might find it difficult to qualify.
I'm not worried about Manchester City vs Copenhagen. Manchester City won the away match by a huge margin of 3-1. The Copenhagen team was strong at home. But in the home match they lost by a big margin against Munich. Now it is very unlikely that Copenhagen will perform well and win Manchester City's home match. Manchester City will win today's match. |

At the end of this season, Girona players seem to have failed to maintain their confidence to compete for the Laliga title. To be honest, I didn't expect that the performance of Girona players would change as drastically as it has now. Because I saw from last season, Girona is very consistent with the scheme and determination they have to become champions in Laliga. But now, when Girona is getting closer to becoming Laliga champions, they seem to be less confident. Even though Girona's journey to becoming the top of the Laliga standings is only a few steps away. In essence, Girona just needs to continue to be consistent and continue to be confident in the determination they built from the start. If Girona's players can understand this, I am sure their self-confidence will be built again.
So the point is that for now Girona players must be able to forget the defeat they experienced against Mallorca, including the crushing defeat against Real Madrid. The reason is, even though Girona lost to Real Madrid, who are now at the top of the standings, this cannot be used as a benchmark that Girona lost and cannot become top of the Laliga standings. Because in the world of football, anything can happen. For this reason, Girona players must remain positive and optimistic about their desired goal, namely becoming champions in Laliga. Because in my personal opinion, the performance of the Girona players is very good, they just need to sharpen their mentality.
Seems Girona losses the winning trend performance in last several matches since hold draw against Real Mallorca on matchday 23 then Girona losses two matches in a row against Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao although won against Rayo Vallecano but last match return back to the losses trend from Real Mallorca. Its crucial position for Girona how to secure and keep comfort on 2nd standings position behind 1 point left from Barcelona. Girona need to improve their performance on upcoming match against Osasuna, Getafe, Real Betis and all La Liga matches left if want defend the 2nd position and get opportunity for qualifying to the Champion League competition next season. Girona need to secure three points on every matches because too small difference points with Barcelona on current standings awhile. Yes, in the remaining matches Girona must be able to make good use of it and must be able to achieve many wins. The reason is, that's the only way Girona can continue to compete and stay in second place in Laliga. Personally I don't think Girona will be able to maintain their winning streak in the upcoming matches. Girona's performances are very erratic at the moment. And the mutual understanding between team players is not good now. More importantly, the players have lost confidence. And this is why the team did not play well against Mallorca in the last match we saw. . Apart from that, in my personal opinion, the opponents that Girona will face in the next few weeks, such as Osasuna, Getafe and also Betis, will probably not be too difficult for Girona. The reason is, in Girona's last match against these three clubs, the results were very good. The reason is, when Girona competed with Osasuna in their last match, the result was that Girona won. Then in Girona's last match against Getafe, Girona was able to win the match. Then against Betis, Girona was able to maintain a draw. Well, I personally think this can be a strong motivation for Girona players to be able to finish the next 3 matches against these three clubs with wins. Girona will play against Osasuna, Getafe, Real Betis and Atletico Madrid in the next four matches. I don't know why you think these four groups are weak. All these four groups are quite strong. And I'd say all four teams have the ability to score points against Girona. Don't forget that Girona team lost points against Mallorca. Mallorca is a very weak team in comparison, and has the potential to go into the relegation zone. So if Girona does not play well, the team will lose points in these four matches. Out of these four matches, I predict at least two draws. Maybe these 3 matches will really determine Girona's fate, whether they will continue to stay in second place or be shifted by Barcelona. The reason is, Barcelona in the next few weeks will also face opponents who are considered less strong. For that, Girona must be able to win.
I guess at the end of the season we will see Barcelona in second place in the table. The way GIrona lost their truck badly, they won't be able to hold on to second place in the table for long. |

Bangladesh VS Sri Lanka 2nd - T20
Today will be the second match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka T20 series. The first match was very interesting and competitive. Bangladesh eventually lost by 3 runs. Today's match is very important for Bangladesh. Bangladesh will lose the series if they lose today. The top order batsmen of Bangladesh could not do well in the last match. If the top order batsmen of Bangladesh cannot do well, they will not be able to do anything well even today.
Sri Lanka won the first match and lead 1-0. Even if Sri Lanka lose today, they still have a chance in one more match. Hope today will be a very competitive match. Today's match is very difficult to predict. Which team do you think will win today?
 I find it a bit difficult to predict which team will win. In the first match we saw Sri Lanka batting brilliantly. The team set a huge target of 207 runs. Sri Lankan batsmen are in very good form. But the two batsmen of Bangladesh Mahmudullah and Jaker Ali played very well. Bangladesh team managed to collect 203 runs. If Bangladesh's top order could have batted a little better, they could have won. Bangladesh's top order is not weak. Liton, Shanto and Hridoy are all very talented players. But still their performance is quite erratic. I would say if Bangladesh's top order plays well, they will win. Today's match will be held at Sylhet International Stadium. This pitch is batting friendly. If the batsmen do not perform well, there is no chance of winning. Teams must collect at least more than 180. |

Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultan
In Today's match, Peshawar Zalmi won the toss and decided to bat first that a good decision. Peshawar zalmi scored 204 runs in loss of 5 wickets in the first inning of the match. Peshawar zalmi batting performance is outstanding especially Babar Azam scored 64 runs from just 40 balls and helped to reach the Peshawar zalmi total of 200 plus runs for Multan Sultans. Multan Sultan's bowling performance was not too good but the Usama Mir bowled well and picked 3 important wickets. I think PPeshawarZalmi will win it if they pick the early wickets of Sultan Sultan
Multan Sultans are in very good form. They won 6 out of 7 matches. and now occupies the top spot in the points table. We have seen Multan Sultans players perform well in almost every match. However, the performance of Sultan's bowlers in today's match was poor.  Peshawar Zalmi set a big target of 205 runs in today's match. Saim Ayub scored 46 off 22 balls. Babar Azam scored 64 runs from 40 balls. The Peshawar Zalmi team managed to collect big due to the excellent performance of the two openers. But even though the target is big, Multan Sultans team is batting to win. Scoring 205 runs on this batting friendly pitch is not too difficult. Two openers of Multan Sultan managed to collect 23 runs after 2 overs. If Mohammad Rizwan and Hendricks play big innings then Peshawar Zalmi cannot win today. |

Havertz become the most valuable player for two matches, it's good to see he developed very well when many people said him a flop signing.
Mike Artera deserves an awful lot of credit for that, for believing in Kai Havertz and trusting him when the fans were calling for him to be dropped, Arteta continued to defend Havertz and kept on playing him, and he is repaying all of that trust now, that is excellent management. Having said that, Arsenal made light work of Sheffield United, as was expected actually, Sheffield United are definitely going to be relegated, they are not up to the standard of the EPL, and they ought to be playing in the Championship. I agree with you. Arteta gave Kai Havertz plenty of opportunities. Arteta kept his faith in Kai Havertz despite a series of poor performances. I would say Arteta made Kai Havertz. Kai Havertz would not have been able to continue his good performance without getting so much support from Arteta. Even Kai Havertz was left out of the Arsenal squad.  Kai Havertz stat
Source: googleKai Havertz is still considered a young player. He is only 24 years old. Kai Havertz has scored 7 goals and 3 assists in 26 games this season. He did not score many goals or assists. But he has gradually adjusted himself very well with the team. And Kai Havertz has been instrumental in Arsenal's overall performance. More importantly, Kai Havertz will be able to perform better in the future as he becomes more experienced. Arsenal are going to get an excellent midfielder in the long term. |

The final match between these two teams, Netherlands vs Nepal, will be held today. Both these teams have hardworking players so I find it very difficult to make predictions about these two teams. Because these two teams faced each other in the second match and the fifth match, the wins of these two teams were equal. Which team do you think will win today's final match?
Netherlands set a target of 248 runs against Namibia. But in the next match against Nepal, Netherlands lost all wickets to collect only 120 runs. Nepal team won easily with a target of only 121 runs. But I don't think they will make the same mistake in today's match. The performance of the Netherlands players is erratic, but the team is not weak. They scored a massive 247 against Namibia. So I believe Netherlands can win against Nepal today.  At the end of 10 overs, Nepal managed to collect 88 runs after losing two wickets. Nepal's batsmen scored an average of 8.8 runs per over. Aasif Sheikh remains unbeaten with 40 off 29 balls. Rohit Paudel got out after collecting 25 runs off 19 balls. If the target is 180+ then the chances of Nepal winning are high. But if the target is less than 170, Netherlands will probably win today's match. However, the performance of the players of these two teams is very erratic. Nepal team is slowly moving towards big collection. The team managed to collect 158 runs after 17 overs. In the last over, Kushal Malla hit three over boundaries off 3 balls. If he stays at the crease, maybe Nepal can collect 200 runs. But it is less likely. Nepal's batsmen set a target of 185 runs. It cannot be called a small target even though the pitch was batting friendly. Four batsmen in the top order have made a decent enough start. Aasif Sheikh scored 47 runs and Gulshan Jha scored 34 runs. Besides, Kushal Malla collected 26 runs off just 11 balls. The performance of the batsmen was quite good. However, Nepal's batting was a bit slow in the death overs. The team collected 26 runs in the last 3 overs. Nepal needed to score at least 30+ in the last 3 overs. As Nepal collected 158 runs in 17 overs. I guess the team will give a target of 185-190. And it's a big enough target to fight. The players of the Netherlands team are talented but their performances are erratic. It will not be easy for the Netherlands batsmen today to bat well on a big target, and batting responsibly at the crease. They have a lot of talented batsmen in their squad, but most of the players are inexperienced
Despite giving a big target, Nepal failed to win. Almost every bowler in the squad scored a lot of runs today. Kushal malla picked up four important wickets. But he conceded 33 runs in 3 overs. Besides, Abhinash Bohar gave 39 runs in 3 overs. Karan KC conceded 25 runs in 1.3 overs. Had the bowlers managed to bowl with some control, Nepal could have won today's match and won the Tri-National series. |

But if the target is less than 170, Netherlands will probably win today's match. However, the performance of the players of these two teams is very erratic. |

Liverpool handed huge Xabi Alonso boost as ‘extreme complications’ lead Bayern to alternative source: football365Liverpool management are making every effort to make Xabi Alonso their next manager. A few days ago we heard rumors that Bayern Munich were very interested in Xabi Alonso. And after these rumours, Liverpool are now looking for any way to make Xabi Alonso their team manager. As Klopp has already announced that he will not be with Liverpool next season. So Liverpool need an experienced coach now. Xabi could be the best option for Liverpool. But since Bayern Munich are interested in Alonso. So Liverpool will now have to pay a high price to have Xabi Alonso as their manager. Asked recently about rumours linking him with a move away, Alonso said: “I have nothing new to say about that. I wanted to say that in advance. Right now I’m the coach here, that’s for sure. For the future I have nothing new to say, we’ll see.”
Xabi Alonso has not yet confirmed his next club. He avoided the question. As he is the current coach of Leverkusen, he wants to think about this team now. Xabi Alonso is not interested in saying anything so quickly about what is going to happen in the future. Both Liverpool and Bayern could be disappointed, with reports claiming Alonso is at least as likely to stay with Leverkusen beyond the summer as he is to leave, possibly with a move to Real Madrid in 2025 in mind.
I see a high possibility of this happening. Since Ancelotti's contract with Madrid runs until 2025. So Madrid boss Florentino Pérez is definitely looking for an experienced coach. And Madrid's plans are always long-term. Florentino Pérez may have unofficially made an offer to Xabi Alonso. No wonder Xabi Alonso is with Leverkusen for another season.

 source- 365scoresWhat a match!!! What an aggressive domination!!! Arsenal have been performing brilliantly since the first minute of the match. They scored the first goal 5 minutes after the start of the match. And went ahead in the first half by 5-0. We knew Sheffield United were weak opponents. But Arsenal would win by such a big margin that none of us would have guessed. As Arsenal are more worried about the Champions League match. So I thought Arsenal will not play aggressive today against Sheffield United. They will play very carefully and get a narrow win. Because at the moment arteta definitely doesn't want any key player in his squad to suffer from injury. But Arsenal started attacking from the first minute of the match. But Arsenal will probably play cautiously in the second half. Arsenal don't need to do anything else. A 5-0 win was enough for Arsenal. Arteta should replace key players in the squad. It will be a big loss for Arsenal if any player suffers an injury. Edit: Arsenal now lead 6-0 with Ben White's goal in the 58th minute. |

Napoli managed to beat Juventus, this makes it easier for Inter Milan to get the title this season. Juventus is no longer an obstacle for Nerazzuri, because the point difference will be 15, if Inter wins against Genoa.
For Juventus, this is a double loss, not being able to get closer to Inter, in other side, from the bottom, AC Milan managed to shorten the point gap after AC Milan the match againts Lazio. Allegri, maybe need 1 more season to bring Juventus to a better level.
After Juventus' defeat against Inter Milan, I was convinced that Juventus had no chance of finishing at the top of the table this season. And Juventus' points gap with Inter Milan is gradually increasing. After the defeat against Napoli, Juventus team is now 12 points behind Inter Milan and if Inter Milan wins their next match, this gap will be 15 points. I doubt if Juventus can hold on to second place in the table now. The overall performance of Juventus in the last matches was quite poor. Juventus have won just one of their last 5 matches. Juventus is only 1 point ahead of AC Milan. And if Juventus continue such erratic performances, they will soon lose second place in the table. Napoli dominated the entire match against Juventus. Napoli was not in good form. However, the team played brilliantly in this home match. Napoli team has 71% ball possession. Juventus made several attacks to dominate the match. |

It's interesting indeed, because even though Bayern Munich this season will fail to win the Bundsliga trophy but yes, basically Bayern Munich still has good quality if we only compare Bayern Munich with Lazio. But yes,theresult in the first leg was a surprise because apart from losing with a score of 1-0, but in fact that Bayern Munich also had no shots on target at all in the first leg. Therefore, in the first leg it can be concluded that Bayern Munich played very badly or perhaps, Bayern Munich underestimated Lazio too much so that Bayern Munich was not in good focus in that match. So yes, with a very bad result in the first leg, then Bayern Munich should produce a better result in the second leg because Bayern Munich will also be playing at home.
It seems to me that there should be no such thing as underestimating an opponent at the Champions League playoff stage ,any team that was able to pass the group stage should by default be an opponent that is worthy of respect. Bayern simply were not ready for Lazio to play so well in defense, I think this is the main reason. But Bayern have the second leg where they will have a chance to turn things around, the difficulty for them may be, that their defense is not the best, and if Lazio can score again and try to play just as well in defense then there could be a sensation. Tuchel has failed to bring Munich to win the title in the Bundesliga, it seems they only have a chance in the second leg, Munich must be able to win to convince everyone that Munich is still a club to be reckoned with in the UCL, since experiencing poor results in the domestic league made everyone feel less confident in supporting Munich because they have not performed well recently and disappointed all their supporters because the results were not really satisfactory in the domestic league. Tuchel must be able to pressure his team to play more aggressively even though Lazio's defense is quite difficult to penetrate, just like in the first leg which made it difficult for Munich to score a goal in return, in the end they had to recognize Lazio's strength and admit their defeat, where Lazio deserved to win, I don't know in the second leg match whether Tuchel will apply the same playing style and strategy as the previous second leg match, of course if there are no changes then it will be difficult to win the second leg match later, all eyes will see how Tuchel convinces everyone that Munich can rise. Bayern is not performing as expected from people. Their performance is not as good as we thought it is, for them to be able to win the match, they must come up with a game pattern that will be able to breakthrough Lazio defense, so that they can score as many goal as possible. Apart from this, it will be difficult for them to score Lazio, who have love for defensive game. We saw a very good performance from Bayern Munich in the group stage matches. The team played well in the group stage matches. But the team has not been in good form in recent times. Not only did the team drop points against Lazio, Bayern Munich's performance in Bundesliga matches is also very poor now. In the last 5 matches in the Bundesliga, Munich have won only two matches, drawn one match and lost two matches. Despite having a strong squad, Bayern Munich are not able to perform well. As the team's performance is erratic. So there is no way to say for sure whether Munich will win the second leg match against Lazio by 2 goals. I think that is Lazio's own strategy that they have come up with, so that they can use it to send Bayern packing from the league. On the one hand, Bayern should not be underestimated because they lost the first leg in Italy. Germany is their home, and we know how clubs use to be very strong when they are playing at home, and they do make use of home matches as an advantage to win any of their visitors. Lazio is leading, but they can still lose, and not qualify to the next round. This is why if Bayern needs the ticket to the next round, they need to make sure they will the match.
Lazio team is not strong. But their match strategy is quite good. This team has a strong defense. And because of the strong defense, the team won against Munich in the previous match. It will not be easy for Munich's players to score against Lazio in the second leg match. And if Lazio manage to score the first goal of the match again, then I would say Munich will not win the match. But my guess is that the match will be a draw or Munich will win 1-0. The match is likely to end in a penalty shootout. |
