The first half of all the games has ended. In the race for top 4, Liverpool are 1-0 ahead against C. Palace. Chelsea are losing 1-0 to Aston Villa. And Leicester - Tottenham game is 1-1. According to live standings now:
3. Liverpool - 69 points 4. Chelsea - 67 points 5. Leicester - 67 points
I think that Liverpool won't make any mistakes and defeat their opponent. I also believe that Chelsea will manage to turn the game around and destroy A. Villa. Then, even if Leicester succeed in defeating Tottenham, they will say goodbye to their chance of joining the Champions League. Leicester can still leave Liverpool behind by score difference in such situation of course. But we must admit that it is really hard.

I missed Ray Parlour's AMA interview earlier today, could anyone who watched it please share the youtube link? I remember the last time it was unlisted, so yeah drop me a message if you have it, thanks! Here's a 9 acca @ 21 total odds ruined by a single selection, i had the under on Arminia Bielefeld's total goals (U1.5), unfortunately for me they won 0-2, the last time they scored two in a match was two months ago, annoying for a team that has only scored 26 on the season, second-worst in Bundesliga only ahead of Schalke. Anyway, who else does crazy parlays on league finale days? Oh, and thanks @Sb for the 5mBTC free bet, not sure what it was for, but it was a pleasant surprise. 🍻 Sportsbet is giving random freebets to its users because today is the pizza day. I have been active on the website since this morning. But I couldn't win any freebet because I was really unlucky. Still, thank you Steve and sportsbet.io .

There is also a nice competition between Dortmund and Wolfsburg for ending as the 3rd. They have the same points now but Dortmund are the 3rd thanks to having 2 more score difference. I think Dortmund and Wolfsburg both will win their games. But I'm not sure about which side can end as the 3rd. It seems to me like Dortmund have a bigger chance. It completely depends on how much goal difference Wolfsburg will have against Mainz.
Dortmund is a great team, they may well fight for first place, but they have bad periods every season when their game gets so bad that they lose points where the champion shouldn't. They should keep the third place, but the match with Bayer will not be easy. Although Bayer has solved his problems, and below 6th place, they will not fall even in case of defeat. I also think that the game will not be easy for Dortmund. Leverkusen defeated them 2-1 in this season before. However, Leverkusen have nothing to lose also. They are going to end the league as the 6th. And they have important missing players like Alario, Bailey and Amiri. I don't think that Dortmund will waste this opportunity. I expect them to destroy Leverkusen and maintain their place with score difference in the worst case.

We are going to see the final game in Estádio do Dragăo. I was expecting it to be played in England but I guess they didn't want the stadium to be in the same country too. I hope that we will watch a superb and enjoyable final game. Of course it will not be the best final as the supporters won't be in the stadium. Or maybe they could get the tribune prepared for limited number of supporters.
I find this very difficult to happen, a small number of fans watching the game. In Portugal, no game has yet been allowed to have an audience. And creating this exception would be a real headache for the authorities. But I believe that although there is no public at the stadium, there will be some English fans who will still support the team at the stadium. I also think that they will not make an exception this time also. Because it could cause the coronavirus to spread even more. If it was played in Istanbul, there were going to be 25k supporters in the stadium which could have caused a disaster.

Weak game by Arsenal, you have to give more at home if you want to advance to the final. Interesting final with Manchester and Villareal, but I think Manchester will win the final.
You're right, I also bet Manchester will win. I thought they were going to win 2-0. The history of the two teams' matches at UCL 2005 and 2008 all ended in a draw. But I think this time it is very different. MU has superior quality of players. Moreover, this is Villareal's first final in the European league. The Europa League final between Man United and Villarreal will be held at the Gdansk Arena, Poland on 26 May. The games you mentioned were many years ago. Now thing are much more different for these teams. Manchester Utd of course are the much more dominant side in this final game. Villarreal will most probably rely on their defense the most. If they succeed in wearing Man Utd players out, they might have a chance for the title. It also depends on how Man Utd will play. If they have a gameplay which shows they really want the title, then Villarreal will have a really low chance.

As far as I know, Arsenal are also interested in him. It looks like we are going to witness a nice competition between these teams to sign him. And I see Arsenal having the lowest chance to make it.

after Barcelona brought the score to 2-0, I thought that was it
I thought that too. But I suppose the big teams dropping points like this should no longer be a surprise. Atletico have a huge chance now to claim the title, and all of their remaining games look winnable... but let's not be surprised if they start dropping points, too! Yes, this kind of games are always dangerous for big teams and they shouldn't underestimate their opponents. I don't know how that happened but they let Levante share points with them. And they did this mistake in a very crucial game. I think also that Atletico should be a little more comfortable now. But still nothing has ended of course.

Manchester Utd still had a chance for the title mathematically but they lost it after losing to Leicester 1-2 home. They even rotated the squad which caused them to be defeated easier. And after this result, Manchester City are officially the champions now. Congrats to the team and all of his supporters! They absolutely deserved it.
congrats to man city, this season they deserve it, Man Utd's loss from Leicester was unexpected... Man City's ambition is only 1 left that is the UCL trophy. Their preparation will definitely be very thorough to face Chelsea in the final. even so, I will keep supporting Chelsea. Yeah, Manchester City can win another title also if they manage to defeat Chelsea in the Champions League final. I actually like both of these teams so I would be happy whichever team win. I think both of them deserve to win it also.

The end of the season is approaching and we are starting to get some official news. This time it is an exit from the Juventus formation and it is the second time. Buffon will leave Juventus at the end of the season for the second time after the 2-years ago season with PSG. Buffon would like to play but if he doesn't find a team he will stop for good.
It's official and it's getting out in the papers.
I've heard some news before like he may go to Milan. But I guess he won't be the main goalkeeper of course even if Donnarumma leaves. Buffon is 43-year-old now. This man is really an interesting and wonderful goalkeeper. He is still playing despite his age.

It's Over! To all those whose said it was going to be an easy win for Barcelona. I have some very bad news for you. Barcelona blew away their 2 goal lead in First half to settle for a draw This is not the La Liga of the times of Guardiola or Frank Rijkaard, this is La liga 2021. It was really a shocking result to me. I was nervous about the possibility that Levante might get a point. And they did it. Actually, after Barcelona brought the score to 2-0, I thought that was it. But I really appreciated Levante's huge comeback. Barcelona shouldn't have made a mistake here. Now, Atletico and Real both could get quite ahead of Barcelona if they both win their games. Messi should be very angry with his team due to the result.

Milan could even climb to the 2nd place again as they have the same points with Atalanta (72) now. It looks like Juventus will have difficulties in the remaining games to promote to the Champions League. And if they don't make it, I'm sure that Ronaldo will leave the team 100%.
I am not sure that AC Milan can reach 2nd place, in the last three games they will play, they will have to play Torino and Atalanta. Torino is not an easy opponent for AC Milan, even though Torino has experienced difficulties this season. Meanwhile, Atalanta has been a consistent team in the last few seasons and become a Serie-A club that has given positive results in the domestic league and UCL. For me, staying in position 3 is good enough for Milan because their target was to qualify for UCL Actually all of their games remaining are going to be tough for Milan. Cagliari and Torino both are fighting not to relegate to Serie B. I think Milan may draw with one of them and win the other game. When it comes to the Atalanta game, it is going to be even tougher for sure. Atalanta defeated Milan 3-0 before. Milan will want to take revenge on that game.

I'm even more excited now as the title race is still continuing on the last weeks. I think that Besiktas won't manage to guarantee the championship this week and everything will be clear on the last week of the league. Besiktas have a good advantage and I wonder if they will make it to the title.
