Just heard that Chelsea has parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino after just one season. I didn't expect this and never thought the club would push him out. Maybe it was Pochettino's choice? Anyway, it might be a regrettable decision. Now they have to start fresh again. There might come a time when no manager wants to coach Chelsea!
The club's leadership treats their managers poorly. Chelsea finished above United and lost only 2 out of their last 16 games. Pochettino just got them playing well, and they turned a corner in the second half of the season. It's a bit harsh, especially since they seemed to be finding their form. This is yet another example of the poor management by Chelsea's owners.

Bangladesh team is playing very weak cricket, for some time now they have performed unimaginably bad. In this match Mustafizur Rahman and Mahmudullah Riyad did not give a good bowling performance in the last minute, if they could attack a bit in terms of bowling then it would have been correct. But somehow these two bowled very badly especially in the 19th and 20th overs, enough for Bangladesh to lose in these two overs as Mostafizur conceded 15 runs and Mahmudullah Riyad conceded 11 runs in three balls. The only reason why Bangladesh team lost this match was overs at the last minute.
I didn't think Bangladesh would lose against USA. The match was under the control of Bangladesh till the 16th over but from the 17th over the bowling line of Bangladesh was very poor. At the end of 16 overs, USA lost 5 wickets and collected 99 runs. USA needed 55 runs in 4 overs to win. Bangladesh could have won if they bowled well in the last four overs.

Bangladesh's batting line-up was not good at all, the score should have been bigger against a team like USA. Najmul Hossain Shanto He is performing very bad currently, I don't expect such a performance as a captain. Najmul Hossain Shanto scored only 3 runs off 11 balls. Shakib Al Hasan could not bat well yesterday. The current condition of the Bangladesh team shows that they will not be able to do well in the T20 World Cup.
Not surprised. The Bangladesh team was overconfident. It's also looked like they were being forced to play! Bangladesh might even lose against the Netherlands and Nepal in the upcoming World Cup. I'm ashamed of this team. They couldn't defend 50 runs in 20 balls against USA. It's foolish to expect anything better from a team led by someone as incompetent as Najmul Hossain Shanto.

For the first time ever in international cricket, the USA has beaten Bangladesh. Congratulations to the USA for showing the strength of associate nations in cricket.

We know that Leverkusen are in very good form this season. The Leverkusen team is yet to lose a single match in any competition. Leverkusen qualified for the Europa League final after defeating West Ham and Roma.

However, the Atalanta team cannot be called weak. Qualified for the final by defeating the likes of Liverpool and Marseille. Winning against the likes of Marseille and Liverpool was no easy task. However, the Atalanta team won easily. So I don't think the Leverkusen team will easily win the final and become Europa League champions. Atalanta team is in good form now. Atalanta's players are also confident. So both have a chance to win.
Leverkusen has the momentum right now. Their form in the Bundesliga this year has been excellent, with many wins. In the next Europa League final, the world is eager to see Leverkusen continue their success. And honestly that's the people don't usually pay much attention to Atalanta, but they're a very tough team to play against. We're definitely going to witness an incredible final. Atalanta is strong and can create problems for Leverkusen. Even though it's hard to say who will win, I'm hoping for Leverkusen.

TONI KROOS TO RETIRE FROM FOOTBALL AFTER EURO 2024 WITH GERMANY, LIGA CLUB REAL MADRID CONFIRM

Source: https://www.eurosport.com/football/euro/2024/toni-kroos-to-retire-from-football-after-euro-2024-with-germany-liga-club-real-madrid-confirm_sto20006134/story.shtml

Toni Kroos has announced his retirement from football after EURO 2024 competition, his club side Real Madrid confirmed his decision today 21-05-2024.

Toni Kroos who is currently playing for Real Madrid was signed into the club in 2014 at the sum of €25million and ever since then he has remained Madrid's most valuable central midfielder and has shown a lot of commitment to the Madrid team and has won about 22 trophies while playing for the team but the German international footballer is just 34 years so i wonder why he chooses to retire at this time when he still have more years that he can still cope to play perfectly before age comes up with him but however, no matter the reason for his decision, it ought to be respected so i wish him well in other endeavors of life after his retirement.
I have to say, it's too early. Toni Kroos is definitely a great footballer, and it was a real treat to watch him play. But he made his own decision, and we respect that. He did well for us, and we Madrid fans are going to miss him.
He wasn't just Madrid's most valuable central midfielder, but his commitment to Madrid was remarkable. His dedication, skill, and professionalism made him a true legend at Real Madrid and in the world of football. His contributions both on and off the field have been nothing short of inspiring. His presence created many opportunities, and without him, Real Madrid will never be the same.
Thank you for all the unforgettable moments and for always playing with such grace and excellence. Best wishes for your final matches and your life beyond the game.

Arsenal once again fell into a painful situation when they missed out on the championship. But Arsenal experienced a successful season. They showed outstanding progress and maturity under Mikel Arteta's reign. The main reason is that two defeats against Aston Villa this season contributed to Arsenal falling behind Man City.

I appreciate Arsenal's current squad, I think the current players want to stay to continue fighting instead of leaving. This team has finished second in two consecutive seasons, but they are maturing, and I believe Mikel Arteta's team will be even better next season. Arsenal will need more quality contracts, thereby increasing competitiveness next season. Arsenal is a team with real strength, but the difference between Arsenal and Man City lies in spirit and bravery. Pep Guardiola's team did not make any mistakes in the final stages of the season.
It's also boring for me to see the same team winning year after year. It's undeniable how close this Arsenal team came to the title, but they were unlucky because their contenders stayed consistent at the end of the season and made no single mistakes. Arsenal and Man City are both great teams, but only one can win the title. I wish Arsenal the best of luck next season.
And of-course we have to appreciate that Pep has built an incredible team under his reign. Winning four EPL in a row is unbelievable. Even though repeating last season's treble won't happen, but the possibility of a domestic double is almost certain. Pep will easily win the FA Cup because Man United doesn't have a quality coach or keeper.

Today I feel SRH has bit of an advantage because KKR doesn't have Phil Salt on their side, Salt who has been match winner for KKR on several occassions, Gurbaz is good but I wouldn't put him on same shoes as Salt.

Also, it's battle of two expensive players, Starc vs Cummins, already played in league stage but play-offs has different feel to it. Aussies are known to rise of special occasions, may be it's time Starc will shine?
I'm excited to see some explosive batting tonight. Only these two teams deserve to play in the final. They've played like champions throughout the IPL. But I feel SRH has an advantage, and I think SRH will win today's Qualifier 1.
Starc vs. Cummins is going to be a great watch. Kolkata fans just want to see Cummins beaten in Ahmedabad under Starc's captaincy. KKR has given us plenty of reasons to be happy this season. Unfortunately, we'll see KKR without Phil Salt at a crucial time. Even if they fail, they will get a second chance to make it to the final.

I am still in belief that Sorloth should have been at a better team if given enough time. I do not know why he is not getting the attention he deserves, dude is the top goal scorer in the league after the last games.

Being the top scorer of La Liga in any season means that you are a great striker and he deserves it. He should have been at some other greater team, imagine if he was at Barcelona instead? That would have meant that Barcelona could have fixed all their striker issue, Lewandowski problems and all that. In any case, Real still played well, Arda scored two more goals, he is at 6 goals for the season just after playing less than 300 minutes, that is less than 1 goal per 50 minutes and the kid looks like a future super star easily.
Before yesterday game between Villarreal vs Real Madrid, not many people knows about Villarreal striker Alexander Sørloth but after he succeeded to score four goals against an European giant like Real Madrid, many people decided to know more about the the player. At halftime in that game if yesterday, Real Madrid were leading Villarreal by four goals to one but at final whistle, both teams shared points because a certain Norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth scored additional three second half goals to add to the one he scored already in the first half making him finish game with double brace.
Alexander Sørloth is currently leading in the race for the Spanish  golden boot this with three goals ahead of second placed Artem Dovbyk of Girona and four goals ahead of third placed Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid
Real Madrid played without their key players. They've already won the title and are now focusing on the UCL final. On the other hand, Villarreal took the game seriously. Credit goes to Sørloth for scoring four goals against Real Madrid, and the La Liga leaders ended the game with a draw. This doesn’t change the fact that Real Madrid is on track to win their 15th UCL this season! They had nothing to prove in this match since they've already won the league.
but Alexander Sørloth's four goals against Real Madrid make him La Liga's top goalscorer of the season. He now has 23 goals, overtaking Dovbyk, who has 21. This is wild!

break Arsenal's hearts??

Well, all I want to say is that we at least did not see any stupid results brought in by Arsenal at the end of the season. If I recall correctly, in the last season Arsenal had almost 10 point advantage over Manchester City. somehow Arsenal still ended up losing the English Premier League title. At least something like that did not happen in this season. And I think we can say that Arsenal has actually shown improvements. More improvements are needed of course. I think Arsenal is heading towards the right direction though.

I also want to talk about another thing, what do you guys think about people calling the English Premier League the actual farmers' league? Manchester City has been able to win the English Premier League title six times in the last seven seasons. And I do not think this domination is going to change anytime soon.

I don't think it's proper for any football fan to taunt Arsenal this season for losing the league. This Arsenal squad really did their best and show their determination throughout the season from the start until this very end but unfortunately for them Manchester city were more better. They have proven to be better compared to previous seasons and fight to win this but could not stop Manchester city. However, there is absolutely nothing to regret here because they lost the league to one of the best club in the league and the entire Europe.

Arsenal is much better than the rest of the clubs in the Premier league this season but their performance was not just best enough to win the league, they showcase a great team work and fight till the end. What they need from the public is an appreciation for the talent displayed throughout the season and not mockery. I see improvement in the Arterta squad and I believe a lot of lessons have been learned from last season to this season, the boat is going to the right direction and next season will definitely be much better than this.
A taste of victory wipes away the sorrow of defeat. Hard luck, boys. Arsenal could have won the title if they hadn’t lost to AVFC. Anyways this team should feel proud of how far they’ve come and the beautiful football they played. What a great run. You’ve done your best, played your hearts out, and we love you all. You'll never walk alone; we know the feeling. Come back next season stronger and better, and challenge for everything again with success! There are brilliant reasons to be hopeful for next season.
I love this team. they’ve been awesome, spectacular, and amazing. At the end of the day, no matter who the champs are, we had a great season to watch PL and were entertained.

Well, Al-Nassr draw against Al-Hilal was an achievement first of all since we are talking about a team that lifted the title this season and didn't lose a single match since the beginning.
The early goal was surprising for the Al-Hilal which failed to score until very late in injury time of the second half. Al-Nassr couldn't focus until the end of the game and awarded Al-Hilal a penalty which was converted to a goal by Mitrovic.

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.
Al-Hilal has certainly been better than Al-Nassr, humiliating them many times, but this time Al-Nassr seemed like the better side. However, Al-Hilal stole a draw with a last-minute penalty. Al-Hilal always fights until the last minute in every game, showing great spirit. The match ended 1-1, and Cristiano Ronaldo is to blame for Al-Nassr dropping points because he missed easy goal-scoring chances. It was a poor performance by Ronaldo, and his misses were costly for Al-Nassr, while Al-Hilal kept their unbeaten record in the Saudi Pro League.
At the beginning, Al-Nassr started strong with Otavio scoring an unexpected long-range screamer. Al-Hilal struggled to regularly get the ball into Al-Nassr's box. Hopefully, Al-Hilal will find their rhythm in the Saudi Arabian King's Cup.
50  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 19, 2024, 01:11:26 PM
I didn't say that Atalanta has qualified for next season's UEFA Champions League; what I said was that the win Atalanta had against Lecce has given them hope of qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League because Juventus is leading them by one point and there are two remaining matches for the Serie A season to end. For a long time, Juventus has been struggling to win their matches in the Serie A, which has put them in this condition, and if they continue with such performances, Atalanta might overtake them in the Serie A table. Juventus next match is against Bologna, and they might likely drop points against Bologna, which will give Atalanta an advantage to enter the top four of the Serie A table if they win their match in Serie A.
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.

Head-to-head stats indicated Atalanta expected a win over Lecce. Though it wasn't an impressive performance, goals from Charles De Ketelaere and Gianluca Scamacca were enough to give Atalanta a victory away to Lecce. Following this win, Atalanta confirms Champions League football next season after a three-year of absence. They will be on the big stage next season, so hopefully, they will make some changes which actually required to get positive results.
For now, they head off to face Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final. Hopefully, Atalanta will end Leverkusen's winning streak and win the Europa League final.

I think it seems like the president of Manchester United still believes in the current coach so he is not thinking about bringing in a new coach but prefers to bring in new players.
I agree with you that this would be a slightly wrong decision because in my opinion MU has given several opportunities to this coach but still has not been able to make a change and MU should try to hire a new coach to try to get a new atmosphere that might be able to provide good improvements in future.
It is true that there is no guarantee that bringing in a new coach will bring positive changes, but in my opinion this is the best way compared to having to waste a lot of money bringing in new players but the results will end up being the same as this season.
Man United management spent a lot of budget in the transfer window last summer, but overall Man United this season failed to appear impressive and instead experienced a significant setback. As the manager, Ten Hag is clearly the person most responsible for the team's performance. Personally, I think Ten Hag deserves to be replaced. If the management and club officials think that Ten Hag is still worth keeping, it means they have to be prepared for the consequences, although we know there is no guarantee that Man United can develop for the better next season after changing coaches.

Ten Hag contract will end in June 2025, perhaps Man United is reluctant to fire Ten Hag because they have to bear compensation costs if they do. It could also be that Man United management is having difficulty recruiting their target coach, so they are forced to retain Ten Hag for next season. However, what is clear is that the risk of retaining Ten Hag as manager is greater than if Man United changed coaches. On the other hand, everything also really depends on the depth of the squad they build for next season, but under Ten Hag control I think it will be difficult for Man United to develop.

It is a very polite way of saying that Ten Hag is the best, I have been saying for two seasons now that the only problem of the MU is Ten Hag, because they can't stand up with him, and I would rather pay compensation for the loss than lose another longer season, some have the hope that they can win the FA Cup, but come on, they have to face a Man City that has been hurt in the PL and the UCL, especially in the UCL, then they will want to win that title no matter what, and Between Pep Guardiola and a failed Ten Hag, the one who has the best chance of winning is Pep, and as long as they continue to have Ten Hag in the MU, they should forget about win anything.


Yeah, you're right. What a talkative and useless coach! Manchester United is out of every competition because of Ten Hag. His recruitment isn't smart. He needs to strategize better. Players like Antony, Martinez, and Amrabat are all wasted. Anyway, I really want to see Erik Ten Hag coach a full United squad next season, but they won't succeed with him. His speeches might be good, but unfortunately, football isn't just about motivational speaking. Anything is possible, yes, but unfortunately, Man City won’t let that happen. We all know it won't be easy to beat Man City, but Man United will try and end up hand over the FA Cup to City.

One of the most interesting things for me in the Bundesliga this season is Leverkusen extraordinary performance, they managed to reach this level in a very short time. We have seen how Leverkusen managed to overcome all challenges perfectly, Bayern Munich was not able to match the strength built by Xabi Alonso.
The first Bundesliga title in the club's history was won and Leverkusen also managed to end the season as an undefeated team. The increasing strength of Leverkusen under the management of Xabi Alonso means that competition in the Bundesliga next season will be even more competitive. Bayern Munich and Dortmund must be more active in facing increasingly fierce competition if they want to maintain their chances of winning the title race.

Of course, Leverkusen's performance this season has surprised many football fans, with them always being so good in every match that they can become an unbeatable team, it shows that they have very good performance. Xabi Alonso has certainly made a big contribution to Leverkusen, with Leverkusen under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen has changed drastically, in fact it is true that Bayern Munich is not able to match Leverkusen's current strength and Leverkusen has also broken Bayern Munich's dominance.

There is no doubt about Leverkusen next season, of course this team will be a strong team even against big teams, also I think Xabi Alonso will of course continue to provide good training for Leverkusen.
Leverkusen's record is truly impressive. Bayer Leverkusen won, making it 34/34 unbeaten in their Bundesliga journey. What a team they have become under Xabi Alonso's guidance. Xabi Alonso and his technical staff deserve an honorary award. No other team has finished the season unbeaten in the Bundesliga, not even Bayern Munich, despite their years of dominance in this league! Meanwhile, Bayern is in 3rd place, which is quite a bad omen for them. Leverkusen did great, and they will be playing in the UCL next season. I just hope they're not cursed and don't face a downfall.

The batsmen of Chennai Super Kings were under some pressure after losing two wickets in the beginning to bat against the target of 219 runs given by RCB. Yesterday's match was really a high voltage match at one time it looked like Chennai Super Kings would qualify but after Mahendra Singh Dhoni got out the run came to a standstill. Virat Kohli's side performed brilliantly as they beat Chennai Super Kings by 27 runs to secure qualification. But when Chennai Super Kings won the toss and decided to bowl in yesterday's match, I was thinking that today's match might be Chennai Super Kings losing. RCB batsmen tried their best to perform well due to which RCB scored 218 runs in allotted 20 overs. If the bowlers of Chennai Super Kings could have bowled a little better, if they could have limited RCB to 200 runs, then last night's match would have definitely won Chennai Super and confirmed the qualification.
what I do believe once Dhoni retires, Chennai will be even more exposed since they rely heavily on him. CSK could have easily qualified, but they lost because of Shivam Dube's slow innings, which put the team under pressure. Another reason is that CSK's local bowlers haven't performed well in the last few matches. CSK has a lot to work on, but they played well overall. Meanwhile, RCB are through to the playoffs! Coming from far behind and knocking six teams out of contention is remarkable. Carry on, King Kohli and his team. You have to appreciate a team that wins six matches in a row. With the way they're playing, they deserve to win this year's IPL, but there's still a long way to go.

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.
We will see a completely new Liverpool in the next season, no Klopp, no Salah, no Thiago, no Matip, and no Diaz. So all of midfielders and strikers are dominated with new generation, only the defenders and goalkeeper are the veteran.

The Reds shouldn't expect anything in the next season, I predict their journey would be like Chelsea and Manchester United, they might not able to reach at least Europa Conference League.

Yes. The Klopp era is over and Liverpool's new era will come under new coach Arne Slot, maybe there will be many changes when the new coach comes and what is certain is that Liverpool's playing style will also change.
and this is something that many Liverpool fans must understand when changing coaches. by not expecting too much at the start of the season to win the title, for example Klopp can restore Liverpool's glory, it takes a long time, it cannot be given instantly.
maybe with the arrival of new players and not many old players remaining and of course with a new coach, maybe being in the top 6 at the end of the standings is a good achievement for Liverpool
Klopp's era is over, and he will be missed forever. He did his best for the club. Wishing Liverpool well for the new season with a new coach Arne Slot. The Premier League is full of serious competitors; there are no small teams here. I wish the new coach all the best, just like Klopp.
Arne Slot results will speak for themselves, but the club should give him at least a season to establish his playing style. There will likely be some changes in the squad, so the Liverpool board and fans need to be patient. I don't have high expectations for next season, but I hope to see positive results. Hopefully, Liverpool won't struggle too long to maintain their regular position. Let's see what happens 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.

A match will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore who can win the match might get a chance to play in the qualifiers.
The match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore will be like a virtual final. Chennai wins mean they'll through, and if Bangalore wins with a slightly bigger margin, they'll also go through. But if there's a chance of rain and a washout, Bangalore's odds become slimmer by every minute. I think Chennai has a better chance, so the top 4 should stay the same.

LSG have few chances of making it to next round only if they win today's game with huge margin.
LSG is unofficially eliminated.

Xavi Hernandez is a successful coach for this season in my opinion, why is that because even though they failed to get a trophy this season at least they were still able to show that Barcelona is still a candidate to compete in the European League, even though Barcelona finished in second place in LaLiga and still left behind  2 more matches to end the season perfectly without any burdens, to hell with other people's words to say failure or whatever, at least Xavi Hernandez brings a change to Barcelona every season,  There are a few financial problems in the Barcelona camp, and it is proven that Barcelona is still competitive every season under Xavi Hernandez.
Barcelona will not play in the Europa League, but in the Champions League, if Barcelona, based on the results of this season, could only get a place in the EL for the next season, then Xavi would definitely be fired.

Are Barcelona's results this season good? I don’t think so, Barcelona haven’t won a single tournament, this is a step back compared to last season. They may have progressed further in the Champions League, but they missed out on winning a home match in front of their fans, it was a very disappointing defeat due to a mistake by one player.

Xavi was left in the team because he gives himself completely to the game, he loves this team and you can feel it. Let's see how he carries out transfers in the offseason, it looks like he is going to strengthen the team well.
Barca secured their grip on second place, thanks in part to Girona's inconsistency in recent games. Otherwise, things might have been different. This season has been tough for Barca, even though they've had some wins. Let's be honest, if Barca keeps playing like this, they won't go far next year. Their standards have dropped compared to last season, and the squad is incomplete. Plus, Barca ended this season without any trophies.
I also expected a victory at Camp Nou, but they missed out on winning a home match in front of their fans. Xavi had many games to win, and the loss to an already relegated team didn't help. Xavi has a lot of work to do, or the pressure on him will keep rising. Hopefully, they will improve next season, but they are slow to adapt.

It seems that Juventus' management finally realized that the way things were going, Juventus wouldn't be able to win anything, they wouldn't be able to win Serie A, they wouldn't be able to win any European competition. That's why the Juventus management made a good decision that they should have made a long time ago, I'm talking about this decision:


Juventus and Max Allegri will part ways, he’ll NOT be the manager next season as already planned since last February

Only detail to clarify is whether Juve aill decide to sack Allegri right now after yesterday’s case… or in 10 days.

Juventus priority candidate as new head coach remains Thiago Motta — three year contract has been offered to Bologna manager who will decide soon

Juventus has been a team that has not competed to win Serie A, they have become a team that only fights for access to the European Champions League even though they have a good squad, they made some meaningless signings, but the management should have taken some measures a long time ago to improve the team, now with the coach's departure. I see that the management is opting for the Bologna coach who in my opinion is a good coach, but is not a coach experienced in winning Serie A and European competitions as a coach, which is why in my opinion the Juventus management should try to hire zidane, which would be a good choice. In any case, at this moment I prefer them to get the Bologna coach than if they had continued with Max Allegri
Here's a news more important than winning the Coppa Italia.
It's sad that Max Allegri's second stint didn't go as well as Juventus fans hoped. The team ran out of steam as contenders for the Serie A title. Changes were needed, and finally, Juventus management has made an important decision. Now it's time for a new era, hopefully with some attacking football.
Motta is a good coach, but managing Juventus is a big challenge. The pressure will be intense, and his lack of experience in winning Serie A and European competitions as a coach could be a problem. I would also prefer a more experienced coach to bring back the team's old glory, but let's work with what they have for now.

Rajasthan Royals are losing the momentum. They won 8 of their first 9 games and after such a good start to the tournament, they lost 4 of their last matches. Their defeat in the previous game has left the points table wide open. I wasn't expecting such a below-average performance from RR batters. 
Rajasthan Royals had a disappointing second half of the season. Since they're making the play-offs, and without any pressure they kept losing. It's understandable that a team can't win every match, but compared to their strong first half, their current performance is below average.

In today's match, GT will take on SRH. GT is effectively out of the tournament and if, somehow, they manage to win this match, things will get more interesting at the points table. Fingers crossed for a thriller.
If SRH wins today's match, they'll overtake RR and move to 2nd place. The final stages of the play-offs qualifiers are very exciting and thrilling to watch.

I can't say Man U played better than Newcastle, but I guess the home field factor played a major role... They were lucky in this match and to be honest their game was much better than the previous ones... Now Newcastle and Devils have the same number of points in the standings and there is a small chance to get into the Conference League if Chelsea lose to Bournemouth, which I doubt...
It was an interesting match to watch especially for Chelsea fans and the result was just how we wanted it so we can go ahead of Newcastle and sit on the 6th place in pursuit of European football next season.

Manchester United was not totally better yesterday they were just lucky to have won, Newcastle had couple of chances they wasted as well which could’ve changed the outcome of the match and also the refree failed to award a penalty to Newcastle after Amratat’s tackle on Antony Gordon which in my opinion should be awarded but what can i say rather than to be grateful the referee didn’t award the penalty because more pressure would’ve been on Chelsea if the match ended as a draw.

Chelsea need a draw or win in their final game against Bournemouth to qualify for the Europa League/Conference League and i don’t think they would want to throw away this opportunity and lose to Bournemouth not with this their current form.

Chelsea fought hard to secure all three points, moving up to sixth on the table, which could get them a Europa League spot. With things going their way, they should seize this opportunity. It was a hard-fought performance from the team. I thought they might keep a clean sheet, but their hopes of playing in the Europa League are still high. If they had played this well for half the season, things might be different. However, this late success feels bittersweet because Chelsea were title contenders once and shouldn't be in this position on the EPL table. Let's hope the last game against Bournemouth won't be tough, as they only need a draw to qualify. But Chelsea should aim for a win. This team finally has the balance and could be a serious threat next season.
