Then again, Arsenal are trailing their opponents, and now the time left is not long. It's a shame that they actually have to lose stability when the league is at the end of the season, so they have to give up their position to be taken over by Manchester City. Maybe this is the impact of their mentality that they are not ready to defend their position strongly. The fans must be very disappointed.

We can now officially say that Arsenal has lost the title and we are seeing same old champions. Man City with an amazing streak took the title and now it looks like it was easy. Arsenal had everything in their hands and just gave away the title to Man City. Big shame honestly.

It seems too late if you just realized that Arsenal have lost their chance to get the Premier League title this season, because for me Arsenal have lost their chance to win the title when Manchester City overtook Arsenal some time ago. Because, of course, Manchester City will be able to maintain their top position and what's more, at that moment Manchester City still has more matches unplayed compared to Arsenal.

So yes, Arsenal's defeat by Nottingham in this match I personally consider it a reasonable result, because in reality Arsenal will remain in second place until the end. So, any results for the remaining matches that Arsenal have will basically not change Arsenal's position, because Arsenal have confirmed that they will only finish as runners-up and not winners.

In essence, Schalke was able to rise towards the end of the season but yes, it will still be a shame because Schalke still cannot avoid the relegation zone. What's more, Schalke's last match this season is that Schalke will play away against Leipzig. So yes, of course it is very difficult for Schalke to avoid the relegation zone, because Leipzig is also trying to finish in the top four.

Also, in the last match later for Schalke's rival teams such as Bochum and Stuttgart it is also possible to predict that they will get results that can make them have a chance not to be relegated. Especially about Stuttgart, whose position is under Schalke, but at least Stuttgart got an opponent that Stuttgart might still be able to handle well. The worst possibility is, if for example Stuttgart can still win in one of the remaining matches and then Schalke loses in the last match later, then Schalke can be sure to be relegated.

Sassuolo failed to beat Monza in this match, even though Sassuolo won at half time with a score of 1-0 but unfortunately, it seems that Sassuolo lowered the intensity of the pressure and attacks in the second half. This allowed Monza to have many opportunities to apply pressure as well, and Monza proved it by scoring two goals in the second half.

With results like these, Sassuolo cannot beat Monza this season, because their first match or meeting this season only ended in a draw. So yes, Monza deserves to finish in the top ten because Monza is one of the promoted teams that has had quite good performance and consistency in its first season in Serie A.

Liverpool failed to get three points because they were held to a draw by Aston Villa and with results like this, it looks like Liverpool's chance to finish in the top four is gone. The reason is, Liverpool only has one match remaining against Southampton, meanwhile Manchester United and Newcastle still have two matches remaining.

So yes, Manchester United and Newcastle only need 1 point to ensure a top four finish. It's a shame Liverpool failed to beat Aston Villa, even though this was Liverpool's home match but in reality, Liverpool also almost lost this match. So, next season Liverpool will only play in the Europa League and it doesn't look like that's a bad thing either, it's just that it's a shame Liverpool failed to get full points in an important match like this.

It would have been much more difficult for Mourinhos Roma to win familiar for of Juventus but now that it's Sevilla I know that Roma will conquer them the dominance of Sevilla in Europa league is over.... And I'm happy too see Italian teams make it to 2 European finals it's a step in the right direction they're investing and keeping their quality players while barca and Madrid is busy trying to recruit young talents.... LoL

This season's Serie A teams have made it to the finals in all European competitions, but not 2 because it actually is 3. Inter in the Champions League, AS Roma in the Europa League and Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League. So, this season is a great season for the Serie A teams but unfortunately, I personally am not completely sure that all the Serie A teams who will play in the final can win the title.

Also, even though you seem so confident that AS Roma might be able to end Sevilla's domination in the Europa League, but for me AS Roma is also not fully promising to be able to beat Sevilla in the final later. Because Sevilla's journey to qualify for the final was not easy, Sevilla has had a long struggle this season in La Liga and also in the European League. So, with the great effort Sevilla has put in this season, it certainly makes me consider Sevilla worthy of the Europa League title this season.

Villareal team managed to beat girona in a tough game thanks to moreno last minutes goal, it was an important win for villarreal since they will surely play in the europa league next season if not the champions league, on the otherhand girona lost their seventh spot to bilbao at the moment since they managed to score against celta vigo, too bad for girona they really played well this season it would be unfortunate if they don t manage to get a european spot.
Villarreal's late goal meant that Girona tasted defeat in their home game. 3 points are very important for Villarreal because it is certain that they will occupy a place in the Europa League next season. Villarreal took an early lead in the first half in the 9th minute, but Girona replied with a goal they scored in the 24th minute. No more goals came after that in normal time and I thought the game would end without a winner, but a late goal the addition created by Gerard Moreno locked in Villarreal's victory over Girona.

Basically three points are important points for Girona and also Villarreal but unfortunately, Girona was still not lucky enough because Girona failed in the last minute towards the end of the match. With this win, Villarreal managed to extend their unbeaten record for the match against Girona.

Also, the top seven teams at this moment are seven teams that are used to having good performances every season. So, with the top seven teams currently in the top seven of the La Liga table, I consider it the place they deserve to be. So, I personally don't really regret it if Girona fails to finish in the top seven, because basically Girona is quite rarely in a competitive position like this.

The chances of Tottenham qualifying for Europa is kind of slim, they are having the same points with Aston villa which is 57, but Tottenham have played 37 matches why Aston villa have played 36 matches, meaning Aston villa is still having a outstanding match to play, so the two clubs are really in a tight race for the ticket to the Europa, also Brentford is behind them with 56 points and 37 matches played also.
Tottenham are a big disappointment and have been in their last game with the same bad results. This game was supposed to a return to winning and good three points for them now the season is about closing, but they threw their lead away despite scoring an impressive first goal and taking the lead into the second half. Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa can actually push this Brentford club forward, which is something that Brentford supporters will need since they will be without Ivan Toney for a long time, a player who has been very good for them this season. Tottenham are in a big mess, they play against Leeds and it looks like they will not make it to any European competition with just the one game they have left.

Yes indeed, Tottenham continues to experience bad results and that will make Tottenham fail to get tickets to European competition. Because yes, Tottenham only has one match left while teams like Brighton and also Aston Villa still have more matches left than Tottenham.

Therefore, even though at this moment it looks like Tottenham still have a narrow point gap with Brighton and also Aston Villa. But in reality, the two teams still have more matches and of course, Brighton and Aston Villa will maximize this moment to be able to end the season in the top seven and get tickets for next season's European competition.

This season, they have indeed made changes on the front lines by joining Haaland to the squad. The previous season they usually played with a false nine strategy, but this season they played with a pure striker. Of course it has to rack Pep Gurdiola's brain, because he needs to make changes along with the changes in the strategy he applies. But it went smoothly, indeed at the beginning they struggled a little, but when they really adapted well they immediately stepped on the gas with the extraordinary goals that Erling Haaland created.

Correct and if you remember when Guardiola was in Barcelona, he didn't need a pure striker because everyone was dangerous for the opponent and he had Messi who sometimes covered 60 or 70 yards on the pitch just on his own. Haaland can do that and he has amazing speed, but he is not typically known for high speed counter attacks and dribblings. He is still a weapon and probably the best in the world next to Mbappe, but there is a difference between the two. Mbappe is more the Messi guy, taking the ball and accelerating and running across the entire pitch. Haaland is a player who is the best in short sprints finding the gap. Usually someone like Mbappe fits better into a squad like Manchester City at first glance, but as long as they find a way to perfectly integrate Haaland into their style, it is still an impressive combination. Haaland doesn't like that ultra high possession soccer style as much.

Haaland has a tall and strong body, and that way it will make it easy for Haaland to win the duel. So, I personally don't see whether or not Haaland is suitable to play at Manchester City, because after all every player will try to adapt and that way, the player will get the right gameplay as instructed by the coach.

But apart from that, I just don't think Pep Guardiola didn't apply maximum gameplay in the first leg, because the draw in the first leg makes us have a perspective on Real Madrid, which at least still has a chance to win. But the truth is, Manchester City can beat Real Madrid by a terrific score in the decider to qualify for the final in the second leg.

Today Bayern Munich have a serious opportunity in hand to make Dortmund become under a bigger pressure to win on the same week. If we don't see a dedicated performance by Leipzig side then there shouldn't be much problem for Bayern Munich to be victorious home. Before entering the final week it would be a very valuable victory for their side.

Dortmund's opponent up next is Augsburg and this away game is going to be played tomorrow. In the recent times the games between these teams have been a little tight you know. But here in this critical game hopefully Dortmund wouldn't make a simple mistake to make things easier for Bayern Munich to win the title.

Augsburg is not a difficult opponent for Dortmund and even though Dortmund will play away, but that doesn't mean Dortmund will be difficult to win. Because after all, even though the match between Augsburg against Dortmund in the previous few matches had tight results, but the reality is that Dortmund still has a big chance to win.

So, instead of worrying about Dortmund, I personally am more worried about Bayern Munich, because playing at home is also not a sure guarantee for Bayern Munich to win easily. What's more, at this moment Leipzig is also in third place, this allows Leipzig to provide difficult resistance for Bayern Munich and it is possible that Leipzig will be able to hold a draw or maybe win the match.

The temporary score for the match between Lyon against Monaco ended in a 1-1 draw at half time and even though Monaco is playing away, but Monaco has a better statistical record, at least Monaco is better at making attacks. Thus, at least Monaco will still be safe in fifth place to secure Europa League tickets next season.

Meanwhile, if I compare Lyon and Monaco so far this season, the fact is that these two teams have records that are not much different for home and away matches. But their position is quite tenuous in the Ligue 1 standings and therefore, a draw seems to be a decent result for this match.

AS Roma has a greater chance of being in the Champions League through the Europa League title than Serie A, so they can take advantage of it and show their best to get the Europa League title this season. In Serie A alone they are 6 points clear of the team currently in 4th place, and with the games remaining it is clearly difficult to get them in that position, it will take a lot of luck.
Yes, Roma have an alternative way to get to the Champions League by winning the Europa League. Mourinho certainly understands very well which way to go. But I hope Roma can win the Europa League title and qualify for the Champions League. But in the remaining four matches in Serie A, Mourinho also has to struggle to find perfect points until the end of the season, of course it's not easy, but at least Mourinho has to fight at least to finish in 5th place.

But, if AS Roma really has the ability to be able to win the Europa League title, then at least AS Roma doesn't need to make a big effort to maintain its position in the top six in the Serie A standings. But yes, if AS Roma cannot confirm and or promise to won the European League title, then of course AS Roma still has to make great efforts in Serie A in order to finish in a good position.

Therefore, there will always be matches which of course must be prioritized, because if AS Roma makes all of its matches a top priority then this might disturb the player's fitness. But yes, because Mourinho has a lot of experience, then of course Mourinho will be able to rotate the right players to keep the team's performance in good shape.

It will be a fierce and highly challenging battle for Leipzig against Bayern Munich. On one hand, Bayern Munich desires an absolute victory to secure the trophy and maintain their position at the top of the standings. On the other hand, Leipzig aims to achieve victory, although the opportunity may be difficult. However, even if it happens, it will not have a significant impact on Leipzig as they will remain in the third position in the standings.
Nothing is impossible in every game and in fact Bayern Munich has been terrible in the past.
Leipzig actually deserves to be the first champion in the bundesliga with good performance in every match.
If Leipzig is able to continuously get wins it will be very interesting and not boring if Leipzig can reach the top of the standings.

The Bundesliga teams so far this season have not had a stable performance, so the competition in the title race continues until the final matchday of this season. So, because none of the Bundesliga teams have had high consistency this season apart from Bayern Munich and Dortmund, the other teams have no chance of winning the title.

Especially about Leipzig, even though Leipzig is currently in third place, but that doesn't mean that Leipzig deserves to win the Bundesliga title. Instead of stating about the good results that Leipzig got this season, I personally think more about Dortmund. Because Dortmund has had good consistency after the break this season by getting consecutive wins, while Leipzig cannot make such a record.

Man City's performance this season is very good, they have become very strong this season. I don't see any team beating Manchester City this season. Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has made his team a very strong team. But the champion League final match will be with Inter Milan, I am sure Manchester City will win this champion League trophy. Because it is not possible for Inter Milan to beat Manchester City this season. So I can definitely predict that Manchester City will win the champion League final match.
Guardiola is extraordinary for being able to bring Manchester city to several successful matches without being beaten in any league even if it is the champions league which is able to qualify for the final round which will compete against Inter milan.
I agree with you if Manchester city can get this champion's league trophy and I hope there will be no penalty shoot-out in the final later.

After all, previously it had been predicted about the team that qualified between the Manchester City and Real Madird matches, so the team that would qualify for the final from one of the two teams, of course, could be sure to win the Champions League title this season. Because, in this case Manchester City is clearly a team that has above average quality, so playing against a Serie A team, of course Manchester City will be able to win.

But yes, it's not meant to belittle Inter but to look at the reality that is happening, that Manchester City has everything to be able to win the Champions League title this season. Even though, for example, Inter is still considered to have the chance to put up a tough fight but still, in the end Manchester City has a young player who has great potential with a great coach like Pep Guardiola, so Manchester City deserves to win the Champions League title this season.

This match will probably be an arena for Barcelona's reserve players to increase their flying hours. Playing at Camp Nou Xavi will still aim to win but in no rush to do so. Apart from that, Xavi will also use the remaining four matches for Barcelona to help Lewandowski become the top scorer. I think it should be a priority for the Blaugrana to give their striker a chance.

Yeah they can also help Lewandowski become the top scorer easily. I think both can be achieved if they start with Lewandowski and play other players out of positions or adjust their formations for remainder of the matches and give everyone chances. But yeah with Lewandowski and Benzema going on for the top scorer achievement, I think helping Lewandowski is gonna be a priority here.

Not a biggie for Xavi. He can easily manage these things in whatever remains in this season.

At least Lewandowski always has a lot of playing time or, Lewandowski always plays 90 minutes in every match. That means, Lewandowski quite rarely plays through substitutes but even so, Lewandowski also doesn't always score goals in every match and so, it looks like Lewandowski will still be given a lot of playing time for the remaining 4 matches.

Because only then, of course, Lewandowski will be able to maintain his top position in top scorers, because Lewandowski and Benzema only have a 4 goal difference. Of course, that is a close gap, moreover Real Madrid will also only focus on the remaining matches in La Liga, because Real Madrid has also been eliminated from the Champions League.

Mathematically, Newcastle have not passed the UCL because they still meet Leicester City, who are struggling to avoid relegation, and Chelsea, who could qualify for Man United or Liverpool.
I don't know how you see it and what kind of calculation is used as a benchmark for whether or not to qualify for the UCL. Isn't it obvious that the top 4 will qualify and now Newcastle has an ideal distance of points to stay afloat. Then with the remaining 2 matches they have that will determine them as a club that passes. Leicester City and Chelsea don't have much hope and both of them will find it equally difficult to conquer Newcastle, so far the strength and solidity of Newcastle's players are superior.
Newcastle game with Leicester City and Chelsea won't be tough at all, this is a game they will have full points that will make them to qualify for champions league next season. Leicester City are in the relegation zone and struggling on how to win their games, Chelsea Is still a struggling team that Newcastle is fit enough to defeat.  Newcastle being part of top four in the league have been sealed,  I don't think they will lose their position.

@bbigtart, That is a calculation that doesn't make any sense at all because in fact, Newcastle only need one win to ensure a successful finish in the top four. Also, are Leicester and Chelsea in this moment any better than Newcastle? I personally really don't think Newcastle will lose when playing against them in the remaining two matches.

Because after all, Newcastle from the previous season until this season has been consistent with very good performance. So, because Newcastle has transformed very well, at this moment Newcastle has very good quality and also, Newcastle deserves to get a ticket to the Champions League.

In fact, teams that were previously included in the title-winning candidates such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Juventus, but in the end these three teams failed to qualify for the final match. Because what happened was the opposite, Sevilla, which was previously seen as weak because its performance in La Liga continued to get worse, but over time Sevilla really improved and even Sevilla managed to advance to the Europa League final.

With Sevilla qualifying for the final, it is possible that Sevilla can succeed in winning the Europa League title this season. Because in my view, Sevilla still has a big chance to beat AS Roma in the final. Even though the previous match could not be fully used as a benchmark but still, because Sevilla managed to get rid of Manchester United and Juventus. So, the results can really be proof, that Sevilla's quality cannot be underestimated at all in the final match later.

This week, there is an interesting match between Atalanta and Verona and both of them have their own targets to close this season with better results. From Atalanta we can know they are currently targeting a place to qualify for the Europa league next season and they need to win this home game if they are to overtake Roma. For Verona, they are currently still in the relegation zone and they also need this win so they can leave the red zone and shift Lecce's position in the standings.

Looking at the head to head the two are almost even and it is very possible for one of these teams to win the match later. But there are small details that make it doubtful to bet on Atalanta because Verona can always beat Atalanta when playing these away games. Is it possible that Verona will be able to humiliate Atalanta again at home? We should look forward to it. Roll Eyes

Somehow in the last five meetings between Atalanta against Verona the away team has always won, so we also can't conclude that Verona is better. Also, this season Verona has experienced a significant decline in performance, because if I compare Verona's performance in the previous few seasons, it is better than Verona's performance this season.

Also, based on the consideration of the available odds, it is clear that Atalanta is the favorite to win. Apart from that, I think Atalanta's target is not to get Europa League tickets because it seems like a tough task. Because if I consider Atalanta's current position, at least Atalanta is only quite targeting for the Europa Conference League ticket because it is a closer position.

Great, Newcastle managed to win 2-0 at half time and of course, this 2-0 win in the first half will make Newcastle play more comfortable in the second half. Apparently, Newcastle is still better at this moment because to be honest, Newcastle and Brighton really need a win in this match to be able to maintain their position in the final Premier League standings.

But unfortunately, Brighton still can't continue their good trend like before, which managed to beat Arsenal with a score of 0-3. But in this match it is clear that Newcastle can play well and Newcastle can control the match, so that a victory is deserved for Newcastle and of course, this defeat will threaten Brighton's position.

Roma vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen leg-2 is going to be held today in UEFA Europ league semi-final game. After 32 long years, Roma started their journey from the semi-finals to the final, it is the most joy for Roma. Today's match will be a great attack for Roma to reach the final as they reach this semi-final stage after 32 long years. Roma are ahead after scoring 1 goal in Leg-1 and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are under a lot of pressure in the match as they are one goal behind. Today's match is at Bayer 04 Leverkusen's home ground but they are under a lot of pressure and this match Roma will surely attack enough to reach the final. And in the match, it is confirmed that Roma will have a great attack and will definitely reach the final.

Roma looks much better then Leverkusen so far and i think they might win it. Im expecting that Mourinho parks the bus and waits for a counter attack to finish Leverkusen. If a goal accures in early minutes we might see a lot but still this all smells like another low scoring match

Yes, I personally have no doubts about what kind of strategy Mourinho will implement in the second leg, because AS Roma won 1-0 in the first leg, this makes me sure that Mourinho will prioritize playing defense and not totally attacking.

But yes, even though for example AS Roma will actually play defensively but of course, AS Roma can still make quick counterattacks. Therefore, even though AS Roma played more defensively but in the end, AS Roma still had the chance and ability to score goals because this strategy had also been applied quite often by Mourinho.

The match between Lille against Marseille was an interesting match because at this moment of course Lille was required to win, the 1 point gap with Rennes made Lille not in a comfortable position. Because Rennes got an easier opponent against AC Ajaccio, of course Rennes can be projected to get three points in that match.

Therefore, maybe this match will be the decisive match for Lille whether it finishes in fifth place or fails. Because based on the odds currently available, it also shows that Lille and Marseille at least both have a good chance of winning.
