In my opinion, Lecce completely dominated the game, despite the statistics showing that Roma had more possession of the ball, even so, Lecce was the team that wasted the most opportunities. Lecce played very well. Since Lecce's new coach arrived at Lecce, there have been 2 games without Lecce having lost and with that in two games, Lecce obtained 4 points. and something very good for Lecce's new coach. As for Rome, well, when I saw that lineup



Nicola Zalewski = should have put the Stephan El Shaarawy from the beginning of the game

Edoardo Bove = Without Lorenzo Pellegrini, it seems to me that this position is left without giving much contribution to the team

Tommaso Baldanzi = should have put the Paulo Dybala from the beginning of the game

with these players that roma chose in their starting 11, it was predictable that roma would have a lot of difficulty winning in that game, i don't know why the roma coach rotated the team knowing that this was a game that they needed to win in order not to distance themselves from Bologna which is a strong team this season and also knowing that Atalanta is also in the race for position 4, when the Roma coach put in good players like Stephan El Shaarawy, Paulo Dybala it was already too late in my opinion, he put on Paulo Dybala in the 83rd minute of the game, he put on Stephan El Shaarawy in the 64th minute of the game, although in this case 64 minutes was still time for Stephan El Shaarawy to do something, the Roma coach had to have put on Stephan El Shaarawy together with Paulo Dybala at the start of the game. that way roma could have won this game

The results of the Lecce and Roma matches are beyond our expectations at the moment, coming as the most favorite team in the match, but Roma actually had to lose 2 important points that made them now behind Bologna, I hopes  if there will be changes immediately in the second half after Roma were unable to score in first half, but unfortunately the change actually occurred when the game began to enter the final minute by inserting Dybala and El Shaarawy which was enough Late in my opinion, besides that replacing Baldanzi was a mistake from De Rossi, because it should have been Lukaku who did not play optimally throughout the match who had to be replaced by Dybala instead of Baldanzi who played quite well in the match.

I think De Rossi made the match against Lecce as an experiment in trying to find the right strategy, but unfortunately he failed to do it and made it more difficult for Roma to catch Bologna in 4 Serie A,  indeed the draw looks fair enough for both teams because their play quite impressively in the match, but still with that the draw shows that Roma have not really been able to rise to compete in the champions league zone this season.

If PSG is certain to win the Ligue 1 trophy this season, then PSG should be able to maximize their current quality to get better results in the Champions League. Indeed, to win the trophy in the Champions League will not be easy, but at least PSG must be able to go further or maybe qualify for the Champions League final. If that happens, then of course PSG has really improved with Enrique in his first season as PSG head coach this season.

But, if Enrique still fails to take PSG further in the Champions League, at least that is also still a reasonable result, because of course Enrique also still needs a long process to become a strong and great PSG in the Champions League too. So yes, as long as Enrique still manages to bring PSG to the Ligue 1 trophy and manages to bring PSG through to the knockout phase of the Champions League, I think these results are still good results, and Enrique position will also still be safe.
Talking about the Ligue 1 trophy of course it is already in their grasp and it is impossible to be able to escape and be taken by other teams at this time, because indeed their position has been quite safe in the standings, now I think PSG no longer have a burden in Ligue 1 and they should immediately shift their focus to the Champions League as the main target this season,  I don't want to say the Ligue 1 trophy doesn't really matter, but after a lot of trying and fighting so far, of course it's bad enough if PSG fail to win the Champions League again this season.

PSG's development is indeed quite significant under Enrique and I think it is natural to see Enrique's experience so far in coaching the national team and club, but I think Enrique's arrival to PSG at this time is very late because indeed the condition of the team is starting not stabilize when rumors of Mbappe's departure are getting stronger, if if Enrique coached PSG when they still had a trio of MNM up front then I was quite sure of the perfect quality of PSG at that time then The Champions League is probably already in their hands, it's Enrique's first season at PSG and I think PSG still give Enrique a big responsibility to get the Champions League trophy this season.

Osnabrück beat Wehen this week. This was a surprise because Osnabrück was the attacking team throughout the match and gave very few chances. Osnabrück scored in one of these positions and got their fourth victory in the league. Still, they won't be able to avoid falling. Even though Schalke is in danger, it is a team that I do not think will be relegated from the league. They manage to maintain their place in the remaining weeks.
So far, I have been too unfamiliar with the development of bundesliga 2, so it is not too updated with the latest conditions of bundesliga 2 at this time, as I remember, Schalke was a great team once in the bundesliga but now it seems that they no longer have that greatness in recent seasons, after being relegated in 2021 Schalke was able to rise and regain promotion in the 2022 season but unfortunately they were unable to return to compete in the Bundesliga and had to be relegated to League 2 This season, I think Schalke's declining performance is none other than their current financial stability after the economic crisis that hit Europe.

For now I think it will be difficult for Schalke to save themselves from the relegation zone because indeed the gap between Schalke and Hansa Rostock is only 3 points and Hansa Rostock's chances to climb into a safer zone are wide open in the next match because it is also against a weak team like Wehen Wiesbaden, while Schalke may not be free from their bad luck because they have to face Hannover who are quite strong this season,  I think It's hard not to say Schalke are not relegated because they are quite bad this seasons.

Initially I started to be optimistic about AS Roma in the Europa League. But I started having doubts after
seeing that Roma could only get a draw in yesterday's match in Serie A against Lecce. I think there is a change that occurred where in the match against Lecce it seemed that Roma had difficulty building attacks. I hope it's just a test of De Rossi's strategy. And I hope that in the match against Milan in the Europa League quarter-finals we can see Roma with the improved quality of their attacks like when De Rossi first arrived at the club.
Lecce who are outside the top 10 were able to surprise us by holding Roma to a 0-0 draw, but I think that does not make Roma weak because it is normal for a club with a new coach to experience ups and downs in performance like Roma at the moment, I think Roma will soon bounce back from the defeat and of course will provide competition that is again tight in the league and Europa League,  Roma still have 2 weeks left to prepare before the Europa League match starts and surely they will try to return their form back to winning ways and of course Lazio will be able to be an outlet and the beginning of their revival later in the league before facing Milan.

I would never think that Milan would underestimate Roma just because they got a draw from Lecce, although maybe Roma will rise before the Europa League game starts but still I will not change my bet for Milan victory later, I think maybe de Rossi is just trying to experiment against Lecce so that indeed he can get a better strategy to face Milan later but unfortunately it is precisely that experiment seems to have failed.

It's much much different with a national team, can be a bit of randomness. You don't know the team very well, they don't know you, you don't even know about injuries and if players play different, it's very much your luck. You have a known team, you don't have a known quality.

Zidane knows this. It's different to instil motivation for 11 players who are like family, eat sleep train together. But to have a group who only have nationality in common, no, not the same. Zidane is not so gutsy to take this risk Tongue

Coaching clubs and national team certainly has its own challenges for a coach including Zidane, yes so far Zidane does have the ability to coach clubs quite well and as a player who has played for country and club, of course Zidane knows what a footballer really wants both when later coaching club or national teams, currently recognized or not,  Zidane's coaching ability has not been fully tested in my opinion, because his achievements coaching only in Madrid and at that time Madrid contained many star players so that made Zidane's job too easy.

Zidane lack of experience in coaching clubs may make France dare not risk the future in the hands of Zidane who is currently experienced just coaching 1 club, so France is more inclined to continue to give confidence to Didier Deschamps so far and even Zidane's opportunity to coach the national team has been tightly closed because Deschamps' contract expires until the 2026 World Cup is over.
I think what you are saying is true, because coaching a club is of course easier than coaching national team to win the euro or even the world cup, especially if we know that the national teams coaches only have a little time to prepare their team and of course they have to monitor players from one game to another in order to get players who suit the needs of the team and that of course Is not done by the club coach in my opinion.

The difference in quality between the two clubs is clearly visible, how PSG was able to win even though they had to play with 10 people, it's true that Marseille seemed afraid to face PSG. Actually, Marseille had many opportunities to score goals, they fired many shots at goal, but PSG defense was quite good. Luis Enrique squad played more effectively, taking three shots at goal, two of which resulted in goals. Ligue 1 is too easy for PSG, they can casually win trophies every season.

Marseille efforts to reach the European zone have been hampered again, there are not many matches remaining, they must appear consistent if they have the ambition to make it happen. However, next week is also quite difficult for Marseille, because they have to face Lille, which in my opinion is a tough match. While PSG is increasingly comfortable leading the standings with a difference of 12 points, they are getting closer to winning the trophy. Without needing to try more, PSG can definitely win the Ligue 1 trophy again this season, and Luis Enrique can focus more on competing in the Champions League.
The comparison of quality is of course clear in the match, Marseille who are the hosts were unable to take advantage of the exit of Luciano Beraldo after getting a red card in the 40th minute, although in fact Marseille appeared aggressive in attack when the match just started but the tight and solid defense of PSG made their attack always fail, at that time even when PSG played with 10 players and Marseille was unable to score because their poor finishing, a 2-0 win over Marseille made PSG now firmly at the top of the table with 12 points from Brest ranked second.

I think there is no chance for Brest, Monaco or Lille to stop PSG from winning the Ligue 1 title this season, and even the same will happen next season if the other teams in Ligue 1 do not improve in their performance and finances next season, uniquely in that match Enrique sent off Mbappe again in the 65th minute after he failed to score in the game and at that time his expression looked very Not happy when he was replaced by Goncalo Ramos.

Sevilla squad is no longer the same as the previous squad. They was a strong team when some key players were still in the team. In the last transfer windows, some of the key players decided to leave Sevilla. Sadly, Sevilla failed to get proper players for the replacement. The current Sevilla squad is not strong enough, that's they fail to survive in UCL. They finished the group stage in the bottom position, so they also failed to go to Europa League knockout phase. Sevilla position in domestic league is also very bad, they are only in 14th place. This season may be one of the worse season of Sevilla team.

Most people favor Liverpool and Leverkusen as the candidates of the finalist of Europa League this season. However, we don't know if they really can reach the final round because there are many other strong teams that can't be underestimated. Although both Liverpool and Leverkusen can continue to the next round, they may meet stronger teams in the semi-final round. So, it is true that the road of the final can be surprising. There is no guarantee that we will see Liverpool and Leverkusen in the final match.



Sevilla journey in the Europa League so far has been quite fantastic by winning 7 Europa League titles while making them the rulers of the Europa League, last season was the last season Sevilla won the Europa League trophy while getting an automatic ticket to play in the Champions League after defeating Roma in the final, what you say is true if the squad changes that occurred in Sevilla actually made Sevilla destroyed,  Many important players left Sevilla last season after the their  won the Europa League championship and the fact that Sevilla had to be knocked out of from the top 10 la liga standing right now and of course it is quite sad to see Sevilla seem will to be out of the Europa League championship for a long time after their poor performance this season.

Naturally, Liverpool and Leverkusen are the favorites of many members here to both reach the final, because so far they have been quite consistent in maintaining their game performance in the Europa League and domestic league, although actually we may forget there are still Milan and Marseille who might give a surprise in the semi-finals later, if Milan and Leverkusen meet in the semi-finals then I personally am quite sure if Liverpool will be able to meet Milan in the final, so that way we will see how two teams which have experience in the Champions League will fight for the Europa League trophy as an achievement before ending the 2023/24 season.

Modric's certainty is still unclear but it is likely that he will leave the Madrid squad even though his fate will be where we still cannot predict it because there is no situation that can really be ascertained that Modric's next destination after he leaves Madrid.
However, it will not be a big problem because Ancelotti's rotation in the last 2 seasons has functioned to keep the squad good despite Modric's departure.

In the end, it will have an impact because Modric is one of the cogs of Madrid's attack but on the other hand, they can be fine and I am sure of that because Madrid's young players are currently very good in terms of play and they can be relied on to support the midfield to be even better. Jude's position could be flexible but I think the trio of Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde is still a very good option.

Previously we have heard Toni Kroos has received a new contract offer for 1 year from Madrid, but somehow Modric actually did not get the same offer at this time, despite their old age but still Kroos and Modric are a midfielder duo who are quite strong and creative so far in Madrid, but indeed the loyalty of the two players does not always get a good reception from the club as is the case with Modric now.

Reportedly Madrid wants to extend Modric's contract for another 1 season, but on the condition that he must retire from the Croatian national team at this time, Madrid reason is because with his current age will certainly make him vulnerable to injury and fatigue when playing for the team, besides that Modric also rejected the offer to become a coaching staff and prefers to continue playing football even in Saudi Arabia or America.
I think with Belingham, Valverde, Ceballos, Camavinga, Tchouameni in the middle of the middle maybe Modric is no longer needed by Madrid at this time as a player, besides that reportedly Madrid is also eyeing Nicolo Barella from Intermilan to be plotted as a replacement for Modric, currently there are several clubs that want to sign Modric namely Arab club AL Hillal and also MLS club Inter Miami and I think at his age who is currently playing in competitions that are not competitive is solution for him.

Yes, actually, after Bayern Munich's defeat, there will definitely be many people who doubt that Bayern Munich will be able to win the Champions League title, but in my opinion, this is too early.
It can never be predicted what results Bayern Munich will get in the Champions League at this time and it could be a bad performance in the Bundesliga, but at the end of the season Bayern Munich can win the title in the Champions League like several seasons ago.
For everyone who is a Bayern Munich fan, they will definitely continue to support and believe that Bayern Munich can still win the title in the Champions League, but for me after the defeat and poor performance in yesterday's match, I am a little doubtful.
Defeat from Dortmund certainly will not change Munich's chances of beating Arsenal in the Champions League, we admit that Bayern Munich had a bad performance in the game against Dortmund a few days ago, but from the statistics available show that Bayern Munich are still able to dominate in the game and they are just unlucky to take advantage of opportunities well in scoring,  because we saw that their attack was also quite dangerous and managed to create 17 chances with 3 shots on target, and I think in that match of course Bayern Munich was still able to give maximum resistance against Dortmund.

While Arsenal, who just got a draw in the league, actually their performance is a little worse than Bayern Munich, yes maybe a draw is still better than a loss, but their performance playing is certainly in the spotlight after only being able to continue to hold on to get 1 point in the game, and I think with 28% possession from Arsenal of course it shows how depressed Arsenal are in the game,  In addition, the game against Manchester City is Arsenal second worst game after against Porto in terms of creating chances with 2 shot on target, I think with the comparison of the two teams of course at least you can see if in terms of performance Bayern Munich is still superior to Arsenal, besides that I think if Arsenal apply the same game tactics as against City later when their against Bayern Munich then I think they are just waiting for time to see the goal created in Raya goal.

Biggest flex today was Liverpool winning, taking all 3 points and going on top of the table while City and Arsenal both lost 2 potential points. With only 9 matches left to be played, it means that every single game from now to the end of the season is crucial and a MUST WIN for all teams involved. This has to be one of the best title race in recent years with 3 teams fighting for it compared to the usual Liverpool vs City title rivalry we have had in recent years.



Liverpool's luck this week is like Arsenal who hoped for luck last week when City and Liverpool were playing, when the three teams competed with only one point difference at that time there was a crucial competition for the three teams not to lose even 1 point in the match, because indeed when 9 more matches are left it will be very decisive for the team that deserves to win the Premier League this season,  Many say that the Manchester City and Arsenal match is a title decider for one of the winning teams, but in fact both teams failed make the opportunity to stay above Liverpool this season.

At the moment I quite agree with you, when a team slips up in one game in the remaining games then we can say that they have gone off the winning path although not completely, but I think with the remaining games that are currently required for Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City can no longer be caught off guard and they must be able to use every game to get full points in order to keep alive their hopes of winning the Premier League this season.

Tuchel is actually very stressed by this result. However, so far, Bayern Munich has always been above Dortmund, even though sometimes they are behind, but in this match. it's really outrageous, the results are very bad.

As for Leverkusen, there is no doubt, it seems like they just have to enjoy the performance of other matches while waiting for the finish time to still hold the trophy. But what they do best is, they never give up, and they continue to show their best in every match. Even Leverkusen still maintains its unbeaten title to this day.
The congratulations addressed by Tuchel to Leverkusen are a form of Tuchel's current desperation in winning the title, yes indeed Tuchel should give up because indeed chasing a distance of 13 points is certainly an impossible thing they do considering their current poor performance in the league, the defeat to Dortmund certainly gives Tuchel shame with Munich fans,  So far, der Klassiker match is like a match full of prestige because of the rivalry that has occurred between Dortmund and Munich, and the defeat may never be forgotten by Bayern Munich fans after more than 10 years they can win over Dortmund.

In addition to losing dominance over the Bundesliga this season, Bayern Munich's suffering was made worse by their defeat to Dortmund and of course it is quite embarrassing for Munich and Tuchel at the moment
I personally have run out of words to praise Leverkusen's performance this season, how not, their ability to play consistently is very difficult to do especially by a team that does not have star players in its squad like Leverkusen at this time, being at the top of the table with 27 consecutive games without defeat is certainly a brilliant achievement for a team that has been in the middle of the Bundesliga,  And as you said, if their ability to make a comeback when they are behind other teams in a match is indeed very extraordinary and in my opinion, the fighting mentality that the Leverkusen squad has is the main key to their success this season.

Seems getting even closer for Bologna and AS Roma to reach Juventus's points on current standings awhile, its not secure yet for Juventus if want qualify to Champion League next season after bad performance just won 2 games in last 10 matches in a row. Actually third teams from Bologna, Juventus and AS Roma still has the same opportunity for qualifying to Champion League spot next season have to face each other, Juventus has match facing AS Roma on games weeks 35 and then on games week 37 will face Bologna.

The consistency teams potential will secure top fourth position and Juventus currently manage few points awhile not secure yet with their position if losses from AS Roma and Bologna.
The defeat to Lazio further made Juventus' current position more difficult in the Serie A standings, and if later Bologna wins over Salernitana and Roma wins from Lecce then Juventus' chances of staying in a big four position will of course be very difficult, indeed now each Serie A team still has 8 more games left this season but if Juventus does not immediately improve its performance then most likely they will again fail to play in the Champions League next season,  Yes, maybe the match you mentioned will be the decisive match between Juventus, Bologna and Roma, then how can we be sure enough if Juventus will be able to win the match when Juventus can only win 1 in 9 consecutive matches?

I think for now Juventus just hope if there is a miracle for them to be able to maintain the top 4 position, especially in the remaining Juventus games this season we can see if the majority of the teams they will face are big teams and of course in good enough form in the league, yes indeed to maintain their position now it is still not too late for Juventus but I think they have to work very hard to do it and of course hope there is A miracle for them for the rest of the season.

For now, Liverpool seem to be ahead, but I think this result is also very good for Arsenal. They finished the match without conceding a goal in the league's toughest away game against Manchester City. The only problem was that they couldn't score either, but still 1 point is good. Arsenal has a very high chance of winning the title if they win their remaining matches. I think the race will continue at full speed, many things will change until the finish.
Both teams have been trying to get three points in the game, but unfortunately injuries to players really affected their performance in the game, you can see how Guardiola changed the game strategy a bit when they didn't have a walker in team and when Ake was injured in the 27th minute it was clear that Manchester City's game was a little vulnerable and made Arsenal start to improve their attack,  In addition, the unfit of Saka and Martinelli in the match also affected Arsenal's uncharacteristic game in attack, I think Arsenal prefer to play carefully in the match and  so that indeed 1 point is a fair result for Arsenal.

But unfortunately the failure to get 3 points in the match actually made the journey of Arsenal and Manchester City even harder, because after all now both have a distance of 2 and 3 points from Liverpool who are at the top of the standings, besides that the busy schedule that is now starting to be in front of our eyes will make Arsenal and Manchester City must be observant enough in rotating their players to avoid injury,  Especially in the remaining few matches in the future, they will face difficult matches against big teams.

Rodrigo is really improving fast, because of the way he confidently scored those two goals. He was give the MVP of the game because his two goals gave Madrid all three points. Rodrigo also scored for Brazil against Spain during the international break. This tells you that he is adding more effect to see himself scoring more goals than before.

Bilbao played everything they could but they were unable to add any impact on finding the back of the net. If I am correct, only few shots was on target and Real Madrid goalkeeper denied them one opportunity from Inaki Williams. An easy win for Real Madrid.
His two goals in that game proved that Rodrygo can be a long-term asset for Madrid, at the moment Rodrygo is still very young but he has indeed developed quite rapidly as one of the young attackers, I think by continuing to score goals for Madrid then maybe we will see his position quite safe in Madrid next season, because anyway with the arrival of Mbappe next season to Madrid it will make Madrid's attack quite full and of course Madrid will It sacrificed Rodrygo, or Brahim Diaz, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, nico paz and Joselu for give Mbappe a spot.

It seems that Madrid are starting to project young players into their squad to regenerate the squad, and I think it will be a long-term project for Madrid in the future, but I think in addition to continuing to strengthen their attack, of course Madrid must also not forget the defense line which currently looks fragile, especially if there are main players who are injured or sanctioned, so Madrid does not have ideal substitutes for their defense.

The performance of the Chelsea team shows how bad the form of the team is right from the first day of the season, the team can't stand to defeat even a team that is worst than them this season even with a player down from Burnley Chelsea could not defeat them at home that shows that the Chelsea team is not getting better until a good decision and action is implemented by the owner even though it means releasing some players who are big names but can't show that in their performance. What Chelsea needs now is to rebuild the form of the team and that will start from bringing new set of players and new manager that alone can help restore the form of the team.
As usual after a match with a bad result of course Pochettino will say a romantic word (we are sorry and we will improve the performance in the next game) which maybe very sick of being heard by the fans, I hope their fans will return to home well after Spending a lot of money to just see Chelsea Humiliated by a mediocre team like Burnley,  I think if the 2-2 draw was against a big team of course it would have been a fair result, but it was a shame when Chelsea got it from Burnley and even more embarrasing if chelsea only played against 10 Burnley players whose quality was far from the level of Chelsea' players.

I think with so much money Chelsea have spent this season to sign players, of course being outside the top 10 Is not a proud achievement for a team as big like Chelsea, I think It's time for Chelsea to throw away some of their useless defenders and certainly Kicking Pochettino off from Stamford Bridge at this time Is a step that Chelsea should have taken before they really got worse this season, I think this season is the worst season for Chelsea in the last 10 seasons, when at the moment they have to be thrown deep at the bottom of the Premier League like a mediocre team.

The strongest candidate in the Ligue 1 title race is PSG with 59 points and 1 match deficit they have, in second, third and fourth we have AS Monaco, Brest & Lille. The three teams are close on points and with several matches remaining it's still possible for the three teams to be in second place in the Ligue 1 standings.

Which team do you think will manage to get second place at the end of the league? any guesses?
At the moment the competition for the championship in Ligue 1 is no longer interesting for us to follow, and let alone me or maybe we all feel the same way if it is impossible we will see another team win in Ligue 1 this season besides PSG, so far PSG have run far enough to leave second place with a distance of 10 points,  So it is certain that it is very difficult for Monaco to catch up.

I personally see if the competition in the current champions league zone is more interesting, because as you said it is difficult for us to ensure positions 2, 3 and 4 when the five teams still have a chance and also a small difference in points to fight for the remaining 3 Champions League tickets at this time, I personally see if Monaco, Brest and Lille do have the same chance to be in second place at the end of the season,  Because if we look at the rest of their games, all three still have matches that meet each other so they have the potential to beat each other, but of the three teams so far I actually see Brest has relatively easy opponents in the remaining games of the season besides they have to face Monaco in week 30, so I think Brest will probably take second place again at the end of the season.

An unknown Premier League club have made a verbal enquiry for Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface, according to Sky in Germany
The 23-year-old has impressed in his first season at Leverkusen having scored 16 goals in just 23 appearances in all competitions
Sky in Germany claim Leverkusen want to keep the Nigerian but would be willing to talk to clubs if offers of more than £47.2m (€55m) are made this summer

Sky_Live: https://www.skysports.com/football/live-blog/11095/12476234/transfer-centre-live-bayer-leverkusen-striker-victor-boniface-attracting-premier-league-interest

I don't know if this news is actually true or not. But in general, I can expect a lot of clubs to actually be interested in him. Because he has shown good performance with Leverkusen. And his team has also done really well in this season. So I think we can expect a lot of clubs to actually pursue him. And I also believe if Leverkusen can win the Bundesliga title, which is very much possible by the way, his market value is also going to increase.
Coming from an unpopular club from Belgium (Union SG) but instead Boniface turned into a quite dangerous striker with Leverkusen, I think with Boniface's brilliant performances at the moment with Leverkusen and Nigeria of course there will be big clubs trying to sign him next season, at the moment Boniface is injured so I think he has a lot of time to talk about his future with other teams.  I think for a player of course to be at a big club, a big salary and also to play in the Premier League is a dream that is hard to resist.

It is reported that Chelsea are currently trying to recruit Boniface next season, because indeed their need for a striker to be able to compete in the Premier League next season, I think if Chelsea or other teams meet the price requested by Leverkusen of course the process of moving Boniface will not be difficult, with Leverkusen's ability currently at the top of the Bundesliga standings of course it will be an attraction for big teams to buy their players and if Leverkusen Agreed to sell him, then if that happens of course Leverkusen situation will be no different from Leicester City in the Premier League who are slowly crumbling after the departure of players who were able to make Leicester City champions at the time.

Milan's the favorite here. They're the better team on paper. Pioli's done a fantastic job, those guys know what they're doing. But you know me, I always think big, and Im not discounting Roma. De Rossi, the guy's a legend, but he's new to this coaching thing. Still, he's fired up that team, you can feel it.

Maybe they're not as polished as Milan, but Rome wasnt built in a day, right? They've got that fighting spirit, that underdog mentality. Sometimes, that's more powerful than experience. Milan might be more talented, but Roma wants this win more. Never underestimate a hungry team.
All eyes will be on the match between Milan and Roma, as one of the Serie A flavored Europa League matches, 
I see the match will be a battle between two coaches who do have different experiences, at the moment I think many of us have different views in seeing the match, and I think it is quite natural because a competition without different views of the fans of course will not be interesting right?
I personally believe to see Milan can win the game because indeed the squad and experience of Milan are better now than Roma.

I have repeatedly said that De Rossi has made Roma a little different than before, but I don't think they are fully capable of facing a team stronger than Roma at the moment, facing Milan is not an easy job for De Rossi and of course Pioli knows how to stop Roma's game which is now starting to use short and vertical passes in attack, In addition, I think the 4-back scheme that Roma continue to rely on is not a barrier for Giroud and Pulisic in scoring goals in the game.

Incredibly, Juventus managed to lose again this evening, this time in the last minute.

Now seeing the progress, the qualification for the next Champions Leauge seems very difficult considering the remaining matches.

Should Allegri be sacked near the end of the season??
Before the match started I was quite sure Juventus would be able to beat Lazio, not without reason I favored Juventus in the match because in my opinion Lazio is also in a bad condition at the moment in the league, although actually both teams are in bad condition but in my opinion Juventus is still better than Lazio in terms of squad and also head to head,  But the reality is that at this time Juventus had to get another defeat due to being caught off guard at the end of the game.

I think with the defeat of course the current condition of Juventus will no longer be helped in the standings and their mission to reclaim the number 2 position from Milan has now been difficult because Milan managed to win another match against Fiorentina, currently Juventus are starting to fall in the top 4 of Serie A and will get worse if Bologna manage to win in their week 30 match against Salernitana,  So if Bologna wins, it will certainly make the difference in points between Juventus and Bologna to 2 points, so the possibility of Juventus getting out of the competition Top 4 is likely to happen if Roma can also consistently win, besides that I think it is difficult for Juventus to rise because facing Lazio alone they lost then how could they win when facing Fiorentina, Ac Milan, Roma and Bologna in the remaining games of the season, quite pessimistic to see next season Juventus will return to play in champions league.

Cristiano Ronaldo made SPL easy accompanied with his incredible qualities as a player, he's always available to net goals for Al Nassr and he's not stopping from delivering his jobs. Ronaldo is the best player alive in the world of football, not arguable because he's active. He has proven himself on numerous occasions and there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about. Watching Ronaldo's performance today against Al-Tai who was not their match and ended up been flogged by the Knights of Najd.

With so many top European players now playing in the SPL, of course the competition in the SPL is no longer as easy as we think at the moment and even when you say Ronaldo makes it too easy  of course it's a bit of an exaggeration in my opinion, nowadays Ronaldo is able to continue to show his capacity as one of the great strikers even at a young age,  With intense competition between top strikers in the SPL, of course, Ronaldo will have to work hard enough to maintain his form so far, and as a result, we can see him at the top of the top scorers even though Al Nassr are out of contention for the current champions.

I think now the reason why Ronaldo can still have a good performance and sharpness in scoring goals is none other than because he continues to work hard, besides that he will give all his abilities to give the best for the club he has played for so far, against Al Taee is proof of how he continues to work hard to win even though he knows that victory can no longer help Al Nassr win the league this season,  Ronaldo has now started talking about a new contract with Al Nassr so that proves that he has high hopes to see Al Nassr champion in the future and that is why Al Nassr should also have a strong determination to face next season and to get trophy.
