Judging from their excellent performance, of course Leverkusen has a big chance of winning three big glasses this season, because this season they are a strong team where they are always consistent with their game, making them an unbeatable team and of course this is in my opinion. a surprise for football fans where they have broken Munich's dominance. Xabi Alonso certainly did his best and worked hard which resulted in Leverkusen becoming a strong team. Of course, Xabi Alonso has made a big contribution to Leverkusen because he has brought Leverkusen to this profitable point.

There is also a possibility that they can win the title, because of course Xabi Alonso will not stop here, of course Xabi Alonso will continue to provide the best training for Leverkusen by taking advantage of this opportunity. I think Leverkusen can handle everything well, even though they might struggle a little at times.
Bayern Leverkusen have 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.

 Leverkusen also have been impressive in all rounds and it's not surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams. It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too. I believe he's still got good plans for the German team, which will still be manifested good. In the Europa League, there's been top contending teams from the start till the current stage of the contest.

 They've got the league trophy, going for the UEL, which is also a feasible and attainable goal, then there's the DFB pokal, just so amazing that at one shot with the club, Alonso has risen them above measure. 3 trophies in a season for a team that's being behind windows for so long. Munich, Dortmund aren't even anywhere to be found. Congratulations to the German kings still. Greater deeds are anticipated from them.

About promotion team for next season 2 teams are confirmed will playing at Bundesliga 1 and they are ST Pauli and Holstein Kiel that they can automatically to promote after finish at top 2 at the end of league even ST Pauli as the champion of Bundesliga 2 and it took 13 years for ST Pauli can return to Bundesliga 1 again and for Holstein Kiel they had just make a history because this is the first time in the club's history that they have finally reached Bundesliga 1 but their target to survive will be so hard because at Bundesliga 1 there are plenty of strong teams available and they should be bought more players to strengthen their squad

And for play off stage just like i said before the team who finish at 16th place will fight at this stage and this season Bochum will play against Fortuna Düsseldorf and first leg will be held at Bochum home ground and they should be able to utilized this match to overcomes Fortuna Düsseldorf but i think it won't be easy because Fortuna Düsseldorf performance is very impressive at Bundesliga 2 this season and i think Bochum should beware of Fortuna Düsseldorf striker Christos Tzolis because he is Bundesliga 2 top scorer even on the latest match when Fortuna Düsseldorf beat Magdeburg Christos Tzolis can made a hattrick
Next season, the Bundesliga will welcome two new teams from the Bundesliga 2, St. Pauli and Holstein Kiel. St. Pauli will return to the top flight after a 13-year absence. Their fans definitely will be eager and anticipating their comeback, hoping that the team can establish themselves and avoid a quick relegation. For Holstein Kiel, their promotion is historic, marking their first-ever appearance in the Bundesliga.

 However, their main goal will be survival, which will require strengthening their squad to compete with the already established teams in the top league. The playoff stage will see Bochum, who finished 16th in the Bundesliga, face off against Fortuna Düsseldorf. The first leg will take place at Bochum's home ground, giving them an opportunity to the host advantage. Also, it will not be an easy task, as Fortuna Düsseldorf have been very impressive in the Bundesliga 2 this season.

 Bochum will need to be extra cautious of Fortuna's top scorer, Christos Tzolis, who has been in top form, including a hat-trick in their recent victory over Magdeburg. Bochum's home advantage could be really important, but they'll need to be at their best to outdo a strong and confident Düsseldorf side. The outcome of this playoff will determine who earns a spot in the Bundesliga, making it a high-stakes encounter for both teams.

Regardless of Liverpool or Klopp's wishes, in the end, we already know that their decision to separate was announced even in the middle of the season, so for now there is nothing that can be done because after all 8 seasons is a long time for Klopp to be at Liverpool and a series of trophies have already been achieved. he gave it to Anfield so that was more than enough for Klopp who said he wanted to rest even though we don't know whether this was the reason or not because currently rumors that he has the potential to become a national coach are also very intense.

For Liverpool's future coach, there is actually already the name Arne Slot, who reportedly only needs to sign a contract for Liverpool, although this has not yet been officially introduced, but it is very likely that Slott is Liverpool's future coach, but if not, there are other options. This can be done because we know that currently De Zerbi is also unemployed and that could be a good option.
The decision for Klopp to take a break or retire is his to make. Even though he's been compared to managers like Sir Alex Ferguson, who stayed with Manchester United for almost three decades, only shows how  dedicated and passionate coaches like Klopp bring to the game. Klopp's approach to football is well-known, and it is an evidence to his love for the sport.

 Guardiola's view on Klopp's return to coaching after a while only shows random thoughts of fans too who sees Klopp's impact to the game as something effective enough to put him back to the managerial task as time goes. Even though his stepping back from the sport a bit isn't a basic plan yet, thoughts and opinions about his long term affairs arose after  he showed uncertainty about his return. Well it really isn't the end of the world still being that he'll still like have national team offers too.

 We should know that the Liverpool boss has attained a reasonable height already, he has the passion so his next step can only be decided by him and it should definitely be respected too. He'll always and still be remembered for his impact made in the English league too.

But not only that, there are several other things, such as Mbappe quite often having problems or clashing with coach Enrique, they have been in the spotlight several times for the disputes that have occurred.
Apart from that, Mbappe also plays quite often not full time or it could be said that Mbappe is often replaced by other players after playing for while, he is great striker and Mbappe is goal machine so doing all that of course makes him feel bored and uncomfortable.
If Mbappe can play comfortably and he feels PSG are worthy of him then obviously there will be contract extension and stay but in reality Mbappe has looked very uncomfortable during these two season playing for PSG and going to more worthy team is the right decision.

Moreover, Enrique has also prepared for Mbappe departure by trying to make all his players play well without having to depend on Mbappe and I sure that Enrique has really accepted Mbappe departure.
But there will be new problem in the PSG squad, just look at them it will be difficult to find player like Mbappe and they will not get truly scary sticker like Mbappe in the near future.
To me I feel Mbappe’s heart is no longer with psg and that started a very long time ago, I mean when he started being substituted because the coach wants to try out a new plan. He showed out his frustration but on and off the pitch with his attitude and you can tell how angry he is. ⁠I think he’s also not been at peace with the club all through last season and I think as such, he preferred leaving for free and that is what is getting the club owner so angry.

 He’s invested a lot in Kylian and he feels for pRestige and finances, he should at least make some gain off Kylian’s deal. Mbappe’s departure will sure create one empty space in psg and if clubs in the league and Europe are prepared, they can build their strengths on this void and be able to hunt psg down. Well Enrique is already preparing for this void but I think the main issue will be getting a suitable and perfect replacement for Kylian.

 I wouldn’t want the club still go for a big name rather go for rebuilding and get players in key positions of the field that you can rely on and that are hungry for trophies. With this way of signing then they will be able to still maintain their champions title in the league and be strong contenders in Europe.

West Ham still did their best but it was too difficult to hold off Manchester City just as I expected. With a 0.37 xG, West Ham were nearly scoring their second goal. This was a better performance than I expected from them.  Grin  Unfortunately Arsenal have said goodbye to the Premier League title once again. It is really sad to see them sharing the same fate after all that effort.  Sad

The thing I feared happened. That Aston Villa loss cost Arsenal the title. If that ended up with a win now we were going to talk about Arsenal making history. Anyways, Arteta has done his best for sure.

I was expectant but everything failed, congratulations to Josep Pep Guardiola. Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson had records and it's good to see others come in match that up, break records and also set them records. West Ham United did a great job but Manchester City has got to be on another level even as much as I think they did decline honestly. Phil Foden should be proud of himself, he indeed took responsibility game after game this season. Congratulations to him and the rest of his teammates.

This is hurting but Arsenal should focus on recovery process and rest, those who will leave for Euro's should and after that they will definitely make good signatures in midfied and attack.
They will not give Arteta the Premier League Coach of the season but I feel like he deserves it. They will go again next season, glad they're having a younger squad.

They're doing well, playing good football but should we call him a failed manager?
Well Pep has now written his name in Gold and at the moment, he stands as the greatest coach to grace the EPL because he just won the league 4 times in a row and 6 in 7 years for City. I think none other yet will be able to match him as he’s real built this City team. ⁠You can see how the City team are anle to perform even when they’re under pressure and especially when it gets towards the end of the season.

 They take every match like a final and make sure they’re getting all 3 points in the match. In the game yesterday against West Ham, you can see how they real dominated the match to make sure they secured the win comfortably. For Arsenal, I think they have to prepare well for next season as they have to make sure they’re not going to lose up to 5 games in the coming season, if they want to have a chanve against Pep.

 Yes the team must be commended for their improvement as they performed better than last season and now they must move forward.⁠For Arteta, I won’t call him a failure yet but one more season without the league trophy and I think he should be sacked because he can’t just keep giving the hope. The players have prospects and I think they can give their all next season and perform better.

In the Mabchester City vs West Ham match, in the early minutes Manchester City dominated the game, making it difficult for West Ham to be able to attack. With Foden who could score a goal to make Manchester City superior with 2 goals, but even though West Ham had difficulty attacking of course they could occasionally attack. until West Ham could score a goal which the goal made by West Ham was quite good, until it made Pep Guardiola a little panic. With the second half in my opinion still the same, Manchester City still dominated the game so that Manchester City could score again by Rodrigo, even though West Ham had scored again, but it was invalid because the ball hit the arm of a West Ham player, until finally the whistle signaled the end of the match making Manchester City able to win in this match and make them lift the Trophy.

Manchester City's performance is no doubt, they continue to put pressure and make them difficult for West Ham and indeed in accordance with my predictions Manchester City can beat West Ham. yesterday there were those who hoped Manchester City would make a mistake so that West Ham could win, but unfortunately Manchester City continued to play with their best performance to beat West Ham.
Of course I congratulate Manchester City on their 4th consecutive trophy.
Yesterday we saw a nice pattern of football from Man City side which was to dominate the game and get the early goals as that was the key to unlocking whatever plan and destabilizing West Ham. West Ham were so empty in the midfield but the attackers were living up to expectations as they were able to do some great attacking jobs thereby mounting the pressure on City.

 ⁠Man City conceded late in the first half but came into the 2nd half with more hunger as you can see how they held unto the ball for lots of minutes and that’s shows dominance. Rodri got the 3rd goal and that was a pay off for their domination and you can see West Ham already looking weary after that. I wonder what Arsenal fans expected, that City will slip up against West Ham, well I don’t think that would have ever happened.

 I predicted a 3-1 victory for City because I knew for sure West Ham will have a goal to raise the hopes of Arsenal but City will triumph at the end and that played out.They were so dominating and on point every attack towards the West Ham goal post and with their performance this season, I think they’re real worthy of the trophy and yes they deserve every congratulations.

This season Champions League really gives us many surprises, in addition to the club you mentioned, actually we may also still have one other underdog team that might also join the team team namely Brest from Ligue 1, but of course we also have to see until the last match of Ligue 1 ends because indeed the fight for one last ticket to the Champions League is still very tight,  But despite it all, of course, Leverkusen are the most perfect team and may be very ready to face new competition in the Champions League next season.

Honestly, I personally see if Girona and Leverkusen have quality and also a very big chance to be able to compete with big teams in the Champions League next season, Leverkusen so far have a fairly capable squad and of course with the addition of 2 or 3 star players of course they will be able to keep the performance and maybe even surprise us in the Champions League next season like they did in the Bundesliga and also the Europa League This season, in addition to Leverkusen, Girona has a prospect that is also quite bright in the future, because reportedly at this time Girona began to continue to pursue star players for them to get and reportedly if the City Football group began to try to make Girona ready to compete next season by budgeting large funds for Girona to buy new players.
Talking about the UCL next season, you can already begin to imagine how many undersogs we will be having in the competition next season. Yes in the Ligue 1, we’re still expecting Brest to be able to grab win in their last game and get a ticket to the UCL then we know how much fun we are in for. ⁠We already have Bayer Leverkusen and Girona who have gotten tickets and are seen as underdogs based on UCL presence or experience.

 Well I don’t think Bayer Leverkusen will be seen as underdogs after getting the league for the 1st time in the club’s history and going invincible through the season. That’s really a lot and I think that achievement won’t be overlooked by any of the club’s they meet in UCL next season. They have a better squad and i think 90% of the players will still be remaining till next season, so you see why they will still be a feared team rather than being an underdog in the UCL.

 ⁠Girona too with good investments, you can see how much they have become and you can only imagine the players they will be able to attract in the summer. This will make the UCL very thrilling and Im am already eager to watch how the competition goes as underdogs are always having a say in every UCL season; so let’s see who have the loudest bark next seaso.

Arsenal have a great opportunity of winning this premier league title that Manchester City last year and this season, but seriously, they always mess up. I thought that arsenal should have learned some lessons about why they did not win that season title and taken corrections, but seriously, I don't think they take corrections. It is really painful for them to have always wasted the opportunity to win the league. The opportunity that Arsenal lose this season for not winning the league really hurts me.
 
Honestly, Pepe Guardiola is a very talented coach, and that is why he always makes use of any opportunity that comes his way. I am very sure if it was Manchester City that was topping the table when Arsenal was topping the table, it would never mess up the opportunity. Pepe Guardiola is just a special coach. Congratulations to Manchester City for winning the Premier League again.
Well are were still going over Arsenal fans having the chance of Arsenal being able to secure the league with high hopes on West Ham at least holding City to a draw. Well I think they should check the stats of this West Ham side in their recent matches and understand why they should've forget the title and prepare for next season.

 ⁠West Ham have had very poor defense in recent matches and yes I understand that it’s new match with new challenges but you can say their chances was very slim. Like this Man City side was  playing at home with their fans all over the stadium cheering them up to victory and you still have hope? Yes West Ham have had bad performances and you can say that even the win against Luton was one very hard one and you wouldn’t expect the match against City to be one easy one.

 City who wanted the title was very ready and released all their attacks and with the shaky defense of West Ham, you can begin to imagine what the scoreline will be. ⁠Well i expected a scoreline of 3 or 4 goals in favour of City, yes because they have the solid attack that will be able to wreck havoc to the Westham's shaky defense. Arsenal and her fans should've wake up if they were still imagining west ham helping them out at the Etihad because that’s delusional lol, congratulations to Manchester City for winning their 4th consecutive EPL title.

Klopp has decided to take a break in the meantime in coaching the club and of course so far we don't know when he will return to coach the club, maybe he will have a reason that can be said the same as Zidane continues to say when there are other teams who want to recruit him as a coach, now we can say if Klopp is the most successful coach ever in charge of Liverpool,  As we know so far, if Liverpool have had zero titles before for 30 years but since Klopp come in 2015, Klopp has managed to make Liverpool a team that is quite tough and able to compete in the race for the Premier League and Champions titles so far.

But unfortunately Klopp farewell this season with Liverpool did not have a sweet impression after Liverpool ended this season without a prestigious trophy, but I think it will not reduce the love of Liverpool fans for Klopp Considering all the achievements he has given so far to Liverpool, Arne Slot who has confirmed that he will coach Liverpool next season has certainly made all speculation as to who Liverpool next coach has ended,  Arne Slot and Liverpool have officially teamed up to undergo competition next season. 
Klopp saying goodbye to Liverpool after a wonderful 9 years stay is a big one and you can see how he’s greatly improved this Liverpool side and you know why the club, fans will miss him. In his 9 years stay, he won the EPL twice and also won them the UCL, which was able to put the club back on the radar of big clubs in Europe.

 Though he was only able to win the EFL this season, I don’t think this will stop the Liverpool fans from not singing his praises whilst they play their final match of the season at Anfield this evening. He’s improved the face of the team and thebway the team played made them so feared, he also made Anfield one mighty fortress for clubs coming to play in there.

 Slot has been appointed and from that you understand how much the new board of this Liverpool team are clear on the type of football they want. I think they’re one board that just go directly for what they want rather than chasing shadows and you can see that with the signing of Slot. Well the fans can’t wait to see what he has for them as they will want him to build on what Klopp has laid down as that will easily bring about team’s success rather than starting afresh. Well he’s in charge and whatever decision he takes, I think the fans will appreciate him and give him the applauds the deserve.

Luis Henrique tried to adapt in the last few matches without Mbappe, when he won against Nice even without Mbappe he managed to get three points. However, Ligue 1 competition not too huge pressure than Champion League because PSG composition most talented than other Ligue 1 teams participants behind they have better financial condition. I think Luis Henrique will save Mbappe for next match against Mentz and play him for French Cup final match against Lyon.
Indeed he will leave PSG at the end this season but French Cup final match is most important for PSG after failure in champion league, Luis Henrique has chance to get double winner this season with PSG indeed fans expected have to win Champion league trophy.
This season PSG continues their positive trend in winning Ligue 1 without strong competition coming from other teams, even as usual we will see if PSG continue to win Ligue 1 without having to wait for the season to end, this season and the previous season is no different for PSG, managed to dominate the domestic league but instead they still continue to fail in the Champions League,  Next season PSG will certainly be without Mbappe in their squad and obviously it will be a big loss for them because indeed all this time we know if Mbappe is a mainstay player up front, PSG dependence so far on Mbappe of course we cannot deny, because that it is a strong reason for PSG to continue to try to keep Mbappe in their squad.

In the last few games that are no longer important for PSG, of course Enrique tried to change PSG habit of relying on Mbappe all this time, Enrique tried to experiment without Mbappe even though in fact Enrique has done it since the issue of Mbappe leaving, I think without Mbappe in the squad of course PSG will still be able to dominate the league but of course it is difficult for them to compete in the Champions League next season,  the only way for PSG to still be able to compete in the Champions League is of course by looking for another striker who can indeed replace Mbappe role in the PSG front line next season.

Well PSG just like every other season have been able to win the Ligue 1 just before the end of the season as they don’t have any serious competition when it comes to fighting for the title in that league. Yes the issue they have is them displaying such success also whilst in Europe as each time they get to the UCL, they become something else.

 ⁠Kylian is set to leave and you can tell how much that means for PSG. This will be one very bitter pill for them to swallow especially when you consider how much they have invested in him, and them not getting anything in return; also when you consider how much of efforts he puts in for this PSG side, then you understand why the club is real worried. But I think this is a dawn for a fresh start for them and they need to make the right choices as this will help them scale through in Europe.

 ⁠Enrique is a tactical genius and when he understood how inevitable Mbappe’s exist is, he took out time to start preparing them for matches without Kylian. Yes you can see how they struggled in those matches which is an indication that they wouldn’t be needing a star player, rather what they need are team players that are ready to work together for team success.

 ⁠The team needs to be clear in which so ever player they are going for as they need a striker and another box midfielder who will be able to help the striker, I think getting these and one good midfielder again will be able to do as that will be a start to building something great. I real want to see how this PSG side will scale through this hurdle and look forward to seeing them in the UCL next season with great performances.

yes, the match between Al-nassr and Al-hilal, even though the result was a draw, was exciting and lively because of course this is a prestigious match in the SPL because currently Al-nassr and Al-hilal are the strongest teams at the moment and of course Luis Castro succeeded in making Al- nassr was better than the previous match in the saudi super cup.

and in that match Jorge Jesus failed to create a powerful strategy to score a goal other than Mitrovic's penalty kick. The initial goal opened by Otavinho was completely unexpected and made the Al-hilal goalkeeper really not expect that Otavinho would make a hard and accurate kick. Yes, it's actually a shame that the time remaining after Otavinho scored Al-Nassr's goal couldn't score again even though time was still long and finally Al-Hilal got the chance to take a penalty kick and finally Al-Hilal scored against Al-Nassr and of course Al-Nassr is now getting better because usually Al-Nassr's defense always fails to prevent Al-Hilal, but now Castro is really showing Al-Nassr's way of playing and good strategy.

and it looks like in the Saudi Arabian king's cup Al-nassr will definitely appear confident because they were able to draw against Al-hilal in their last meeting against Al-hilal.
This match is considered to be the biggest match currently in the Saudi Pro League because of the standing of these two teams in the league and with that result you will understand well why it’s a clash of the big boys. Yes the match ended in a draw but I feel it has better positives than any of their previous matches as it showed progress of this Al-Nassr side. In that match, you could see evidently that Al-Hilal were lacking the right strategy to use in going about the match and to some extent you can see how much they struggled in the match.

 For Al-Nassr, though they were only able to get a goal, that got the crowds rendering applauds, after that it seemed they had nothing more up their sleeves. The result was from this match was needed more for the Al-Nassr players to help boost their mentality for the new season and I think now you can see how much they have improved. I don’t think the defense line is as it was before, if not, I think they would have conceded up to 2-3, so you must commend the team for improving on errors.

 I think the final between these two will be one very thrilling one as we might be having lots of fun after their draw display yesterday. I think this Al-Nassr side could be having the day at the end of the final whistle in the Saudi King’s Cup and it’s something I really want to see.

Having ended the Bundesliga with a championship trophy and also an unbeaten record, of course now Leverkusen will turn all their attention to winning the two trophies left for them, the Europa League trophy and also the DFB pokal trophy is only one step away for them to get and will make them the team that ends this season with treble winners and also unbeaten,  If it manages to do so of course it will be a very extraordinary achievement for Alonso and also the Leverkusen squad this season, talking about the final match later, of course we will see two teams will try their best by giving all their abilities to be able to end the match with a victory.

Currently Leverkusen is the strongest team in the final and of course naturally they are the favorite team in the final later, but still Leverkusen should not underestimate Atlanta because it is not impossible for Atlanta to give a surprise that might make Leverkusen fail to win the Europa League  trophy this season, in my opinion even though Leverkusen is the favorite team, but still both teams have the same chance to win the Europa League this season, to be honest I personally don't really care about who will win the Europa League because they are not my favorite teams, but I hope that the final macth will indeed give us an interesting spectacle to see in midweek later.
Bayern Leverkusen have 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.

 Leverkusen also have been impressive in all rounds and it's not surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams. It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too. I believe he's still got good plans for the German team, which will still be manifested good. In the Europa League, there's been top contending teams from the start till the current stage of the contest.

 They've got the league trophy, going for the UEL, which is also a feasible and attainable goal, then there's the DFB pokal, just so amazing that at one shot with the club, Alonso has risen them above measure. 3 trophies in a season for a team that's being behind windows for so long.

The match has been an easy One Barcelona so far because they started winning the match in the early minutes of the game and R. Lewandowski scored the first goal in 3 minutes, I don't think Barcelona had plans of dropping points here despite qualifying to the Champions League for next season and today they have already delivered and fans muet be very happy because thry are already leading by 3:0 as at when this post was written and the 2nd and 3rd goal was scored by Pedri. Barcelona fans won't be happy if they have lost the game but I believe right now them fans will expect them to win the rest of them matches because they couldn't achieve any trophy this season but they have the ticket to play the champions league next season.
Lewandowski is a great striker. He's still got the fuel in him to net in more goals. He's agile, skilful and his goal scoring abilities are at the peak. Although age is calling gradually but he's still got a bit of time in him to show his worth in the public and projected games too. Although like Ronaldo, even at the age he is, he still kept the zeal on. I don't think Lewandowski's case would be any different.

 Let him still use the ample of his time left to do exploits. He's got European cups and tournaments to journey through and in him, there's all that it'd take. Age is still favourable to him and he doesn't look like he'd slack in a few years to come, so for the mean time, he's got to enjoy his playing time before thinking of retiring back to the Arab league or quit football generally.

 The striker can still be a useful asset to the Spanish side. Despite the ups and downs, he's managed to stay in form and shape, he still does well to net in goals when he's got the chance to and so far his rate of play isn't really any need for alarm. The club themselves know how advantageous he is and also how difficult it is to get an active striker in the market now. So they've just got to stick to appropriate terms with him and also try to work with him as he strives to do his best in being relevant in the team too.

I admire young signings that will serve as backup replacement for the key players. Chelsea will always shined themselves towards their opponents, this is the moment I'm finally acquainted with the club's performance and the budget mapped by Todd Boehly and Mauricio Pochettino. Chelsea not in regular competition this season because they struggle from the very early beginning of the English Premier League campaign but this will always portrays the fact that winning is consistent and straight for clubs that picked themselves up and persuade for crucial winnings. Chelsea in pursuit for young talents is impressive but this should also mean that they should also relent from accomplishing their top targets.
Chelsea's victory over West Ham pushed them to the 7th position with a little bit of hope to clinch a spot at the UEFA conference league too. Although that feat will only be attained when so many conditions are met and they're really difficult occurences to be met. Even if Chelsea subdues and meet their own end of the necessities, will the other teams sit back and be overpowered just to give Chelsea room to scale through.

 It'll be a tough final games for the season for the 5th,6th,7th and 8th positioned teams in the EPL. After the West Ham encounter, Chelsea haven't failed to be victorious in their games and yes it's lifted them up on the table even though currently, they don't have a shot at the UCL or UEL, maybe the Conference league cup would favor them. This season has been rough on them and a little consolation would go a long way.

 For Manchester United, they're still behind and really it's sad that they won't have a slot at any continental face off. This season has been their worse, yes at first they seemed better than Chelsea though but currently, they're behind and it's shameful too. The team needs to be worked on. No one can even guess where the fault is though but maybe they just have to try again next season. Hopefully they'll make a difference.

With Serie A having a share of five clubs that will play in the Champions League next season, Atalanta will certainly play in the competition, because the difference of six points from Roma who are in sixth position is difficult to match, even though Atalanta will probably still be ahead in goal difference, so Atalanta has already qualified for the Champions League and Roma has lost the opportunity to play in the Champions League, so Atalanta's victory over Lecce not only opens up their opportunities but they have indeed got that place.
However, if I judge their performance against Lecce, it was not an impressive performance so I doubt they will be a competitive team in the Champions League unless they make some changes to their squad.

Atalanta have been an improving side overtime. They've had some rough edges but their performance in the league is still seen. Even though they may not be top trophy contenders, they're trying to stay in the domestic league instead of relegating. They'll be playing against Leverkusen in the final phase of the UEL and goodnews is they've been able to gather enough confidence and momentum for the game which still puts them in and advantageous spot of finishing with a tangible result regardless. 

 Atalanta sadly lost to Juventus last night in the Copa Italia finals which then leaves them to struggle solely for just the UEL trophy. Their opponent definitely won't take it lightly either. If yesterday's game had turned out in their favor, then maybe they'd have had a resounding confidence to face up Leverkusen but at this point in time, they're left to dedicate all resources available and necessary to fighting hard to earn the trophy.

 In their Serie A game tonight, they were up against US Leece and they were as well the visitors in the game. Well based on the overtime strength, we expected them to earn the 3 points entirely but Leece also can be unpredictable, being that they were the host and they've had an average scoring ability. So it was best to range the game outcome with Atalanta having the greater chance of victory.

Leverkusen and Stuttgart are two teams that have surprised us a lot this season, Leverkusen ended the season with perfection after they won the title unbeaten this season, since the beginning of the season we never expected if Leverkusen could reach a point where maybe very difficult for other teams to achieve so far, winning the Bundesliga or winning the treble winners is not something surprising for me because indeed all teams can probably do it,  But in terms of getting a treble winner (if Leverkusen can win the Europa League and DFB pokal ) with unbeaten, of course it is an achievement that will indeed be difficult for other teams in the future and even by teams like Dortmund and Munich.

While Stuttgart who were able to reach the Champions League zone this season is certainly also very surprising, the previous season Stuttgart even had to fight hard to get out of the relegation zone, but precisely this season they were able to be above Bayern Munich, next season we will see many surprise teams in the Champions League such as Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Aston Villa, Girona and also maybe Brest from Ligue 1.

Asides Leverkusen who have outgrown their normal performances of past seasons causing a difference in football this season, Stuttgart themselves have been able to make relevance too being an underdog team outdoing themselves this season and even growing up to be a threat at profound tournaments. Their DFB Pokal game against Leverkusen is much anticipated as both teams have in the Bundesliga being very insightful with Leverkusen lifting the trophy and Stuttgart after so many years boasting now of a UCL ticket.

 It's at this moment going to be a game to watch out for even though a lot of us would admit that Leverkusen won't let themselves and the entirety of the football world down. Leverkusen's confidence has risen beyond the highest mark, they've got the Bundesliga already, they're prospects to the UEL and also the DFB Pokal, I sure do believe that they can make a lasting history this season. 3 trophies won't do them any harm either. They obviously stand a greater chance to the teams they'll be up against and Stuttgart themselves would only have to try to suppress them out of their misery.

 The first leg encounter had Leverkusen being tied to a draw as a result of the much impact Stuttgart made in the game which also caused them to battle in a second leg clash. Really, I would love to see how the game would turn out. For me, both teams are best and it's safe to say, let the best team win.

Rio Ave vs Benfica ended in a draw with 93rd minute goal on penalty by Costinha was enough for the Rio Ave to hold the hot favourite Benfica in this game which is not going to play Champions League qualification in coming season due to having second spot in Liga Portugal in this game we have well control by the Benfica but still their efforts were not enough to have more goals in this game due to tight defense of Rio Ave which end this season at the 11th spot due to having 19 draw games in this season.

Now we are heading for the another exciting game which is going to play between Braga vs FC Porto with Porto needs to hold their nerve for having third spot and going to have their spot for the UEFA Europa League group stage in case of lost they can go for the qualification with most chances we will be having positive end of the Porto which is having good edge against Braga which is having history of choking into important games.
In the Porto and Braga match, Porto holds a greater advantage. With a draw being enough for Porto to settle properly in their position, the pressure may be less intense on their side compared to Braga, who have to fight hard to secure a victory to get to a better spot on the table. This advantage added with Porto's all time resilience in crucial encounters makes  them more favorable for the match result. Braga has more chance to derail in pressing situations and this could increase Porto's confidence ahead of the game.

 The recent match between Rio Ave and Benfica showed the unpredictable nature of football, with Rio Ave managing to hold off the stronger Benfica side with a late penalty goal. Despite Benfica's impact in possession and attacking efforts, Rio Ave's defense was able to dissolve their attempts to secure a victory. This result shows the importance of resilience and creative play, qualities that Porto somehow possess and may try take on in their match against Braga, especially given Braga's struggling state in crucial games. As the season draws to a close, both Porto and Braga are fighting for crucial outcomes that will aid their chances to European competitions.

 For Porto, securing a spot in the UEFA Europa League group stage is a good achievement, giving opportunities for further development and experience on the continental stage. Braga's ambition to secure victory and maybe qualify for European competitions shows the stakes of the game With both teams motivated by their respective objectives, the clash would definitely be an intense and compelling encounter, with Porto aiming to dwell on their advantages and Braga hoping to overrun expectations and secure a memorable victory.

The final match of the Champions League will be a match that is eagerly awaited by world football fans at the moment, when the two teams are able to continue to show quite consistent and stable performance in every match they play in the Champions League this season, Madrid will come with the status of as the king of Europe so it is quite natural for them to be favourites, while Dortmund, who came from the start of the season as the underdog team this season, of course surprised us all because of their consistency and performance in the Champions League, both teams have quite stable performance in their game, even though it is true in terms of quality o course Madrid is above Dortmund at the moment.

What you say will of course happen in the match later, both teams will of course field their best squad in the final match so it will be full of prestige, emotion and high tension, so far Madrid will try to get their 15th trophy this season of course will try to play aggressively with high intensity, but we also cannot deny that it is very likely that Dortmund will be able to make Madrid difficult in the that match and maybe even have the potential to beat Madrid in my opinion.
The Ucl final is in about 2 weeks from now and I can understand how much anticipation is going round the football world because it’s a display of the big boys vs the underdogs. Yes you can say Real Madrid are the big boys because they’re in a chase for the 15th UCL title and that will be a massive one for the fans and the players in the team. Dortmund of course are the underdogs as they started the campaign quite poorly but have improved over time and one thing with this two teams is their leverl of maintaining top performances match in and out.

 As such, you can begin to imagine how fierce the UCL battle between these two teams will be. Well I can’t wAit sincerely for this fixture as I am more eager to place a very huge bet on Real Madrid winning this Dortmund side to reclaim their stand as the big boys of Europe. Well in as much as that could happen, they must of course be wary of this Dortmund side as they could be very dangerous than they least expected.

 ⁠I expect top performance from the two teams but Dortmund chance against Real Madrid is so slim that you begin to wonder what they could possibly get off this match. I hope to see Real Madrid win this match very comfortably as they have a very fierce attacking side.

From this we can clearly conclude that Aziz Yıldırım really loves Fenerbahce and he wants this team to really develop well to become one of the strong teams to be able to prove that they can also appear stable and consistent.
I think Aziz Yıldırım deserves to be the next president, even though in the past he caused Fenerbahce to experience failure and was dropped from the UCL competition due to accusations of match fixing.
When they actually bring in Mourinho, there is possibility that Fenerbahce will be able to beat Galatasaray next season in the race for the Turkish Super League title, as well as breaking the record for defending the title.

But we need to look at it further, we need to continue to follow developments so we can understand what the situation and conditions will be in the future, whether Aziz Yıldırım will really do all that if he is not elected or not.
Well some persons are just so dedicated and committed to a club and are willing to do everything possible within their powers to see rhe club succeed and I think one is Aziz. His willingness to pay half of Jose’s salary despite him not being elected is a true show of honest love for the club.

 I think he understands the fans are falling out of trust for their dear club and in a bid to rebuild that trust and confidence, he’s willing to get Jose into the club. Mourinho is one coach that has a very high success record and I think him at Fernabache will be a blast at least in his first 2 seasons at the club. ⁠With Mourinho in the club, you can be sure that this club will be able to give Galatasaraysome headache and not just that will be able to causesome troubles in Europe.

 I think with Mourinho as coach, so many young talents will want to work with him and as such, that will boost the club’s performance level.well as we all know all these were political talks and sometimes may not see the light of the day, so we are not to be very confident yet till the deed is done before we simg praises for Aziz. I would love to see how things turn out in the club and how much of a success Jose can attract to the club.

slightly disagree with the statement regarding Arsenal being consistent since the start of the season and if you remember initially those competing at the top of the standings at the start of the season always took turns like Spurs, Aston Villa, Liverpool and after that Arsenal entered the competition after entering the second half of the season and at the start of the season Arsenal they still often lose consistency when they get 4 wins in a row after that they lose consistency and it's hard to predict and at the end of this season Arsenal are starting to maintain their consistency again but it's hard to believe that Arsenal can win the EPL title because Arsenal doesn't have the mentality of being an EPL title holder.
reason is quite clear, if Arsenal have the mentality of being EPL title holders, Arsenal should be able to consistently rotate players to compete in the UCL and in the EPL at the beginning of this season, but the fact is that Arsenal is still having difficulty dividing the players time to keep performing well in these 2 competitions so that at the start of the season Arsenal didn't look consistent as they prioritized the UCL match.

expecting Man City to lose is most likely very impossible for me because it is impossible for a big team like Man City, after losing their achievements in the UCL, to also lose the EPL title this season.
Well still dwelling on Arsenal’s consistency, I can obviously agree with you that this team isn’t consistent yet as you can see how they lost out in about 5 games this season. Winning the EPL requires you to be very consistent and to an extent have just 2-3 losses and not very much like 5. ⁠At the start of the season, where were they, they were struggling and I think they had like 2 losses and boom they had great winning streak and you felt they’re back on track.

 Well they lost some matches again and you understand where consistency comes in. The match lost some weeks ago, I think dealt with them. ⁠Now they have to understand how important every match is at least chase 3 points or worst of settle for a draw as that could be better than losing.

 I think this team is still young as they haven’t been able to build another formidable team B which they can rotate and still play fine. ⁠So you understand, they still have a long way to go in their chase for EPL title as now you can only imagine how formidable they will be if they have a very strong reserve team.
