I can't believe that Dortmund really lost two points against Bochum tonight. This was such an important match like the remaining ones for them to keep the lead. Adeyemi wasn't impressive at all today. He wasted two big goal chances which could have helped them win the match. Moukoko also got really close to scoring the winning goal but his shot was saved.

Bochum goalkeeper showed a really impressive performance today honestly. He made many saves and prevented a loss for themselves. He can even be the man of the match I mean. Bochum are trying not to relegate from the Bundesliga on one hand so I understand this dedication. But Dortmund were still the much stronger side. They should have won this one. They handed over the opportunity to Bayern Munich once again.

This is not the matter of believing. I was following the match but immediately it ended fist half draw without either team scoring again after the first 10mins drama, I knew something is not normal and draw may settle the night. Besides it was even Bochum that first scored and Dortmund equalized, so it will be wise to say that Dortmund was lucky and not Buchom.
Well, Dortmund still manages to remain at the top of the league and they will remain there till will see the outcome of Tuchel and his men against Hertha Berlin which I know is not an easy side.

I think Milan is the favorite team in this match. I checked the results of past matches of Roma vs Milan. Milan's past record against Roma is very good. In the last 5 matches, Milan won three matches and drew two matches. I believe AC Milan will win this match if they give their full effort. But Milan will probably perform a bit more cautiously now. Because they don't want any of their players to face injury before the Champions League match. The match will certainly be competitive. Mourinho will definitely try to qualify for the Champions League.
Ac milan is at a pretty good point in this match where they have a target of getting 3 points at the olimpico stadium. one of ac milan best form is with leao improved performance in recent times which makes me sure they can overcome roma in tomorrow game.

it's not easy for ac milan to beat roma at home but with the impressive stats in their encounter i think ac milan will be motivated to do it again. these two teams are both aiming for full points to strengthen their ranking position this week.
AC Milan for a fact is playing good football at the moment and is also getting great results but playing against Jose Mourinho's Roma at Stadio Olympico will be a huge test for them.
If there's anything that Mourinho would want to let go at the moment, it can ever be forfeiting to play Champions League football by next season and for him to achieve that, the must win the game against in form AC Milan

I don't know but there is a rumour on Transfermarket also about Kante to sign for Barcelona this summer. I think that it can be really a sign of a possible offer by Barcelona side then. There are only two months left for Kante to be free agent as you know. There is still no serious action to be taken by Chelsea like trying to sign a contract extension. But I think that they will think twice before really doing this.

The reason why I think like this is his having a serious injury not a long time ago. He missed 30 games due to hamstring injury. However he doesn't look like a very injury-prone player in his career either. Because you can see if you check his injury history that his previous serious injury was in the 19/20 season.

But while Chelsea have Enzo Fernandez maybe they could be ready to let Kante leave the team by the end of his contract.
This rumour was appears again because seems Barcelona really serious want Kante and Barcelona will attempts to try to persuade him not to extend his contract at Chelsea because Xavi feel Kante will be used as the replacement of Busquets who certainly will leave Barcelona this summer but Kante has giving statement about this rumour that his priority is Chelsea so if this team want to give contract extension then Kante probably will accept the offers from Chelsea this because until now Kante feel comfortable to play with this team

Kante indeed is not injured prone but usually after the player got long injured i think it's very hard for them to return to their top performance again and even so with Kante because this season he was played several times but he was unable to performing well so in my opinion Barcelona should be think twice to bought Kante because possibly he will failed to adapt with Barcelona game
Ngolo Kante's performance this season has been very less of the outstanding performances he's had since he joined Chelsea and that's understandably because of the injury that laid him off for a very long time but that doesn't stop Ngolo Kante from being one of the best midfielders in the world.
Chelsea's failure to qualify for UEFA Champions League football next season will seriously affect the future of their players. Not all of them would want to play for a club who will not be participating in the club football's most prestigious competition. So even if Barcelona fails to get the signature of Kante, he might still go to another big club

AFAIK, kane never said if he would be leaving totenham. The truth is if kane wanna stay even longer in totenham as long as the club was offering him the new contract but it seems like that his chance to leave from the club just getting even higher after he has not yet received a new offer from totenham.
If you followed the news about him, you must know Kane already wanted to leave Tottenham since the previous season. But he stayed at Tottenham because Tottenham rejected all offers on him and promise to improve Tottenham by signing a top coach (Antonio Conte). Now, Conte has left Tottenham and it is unclear who will be the next coach for Tottenham. Also, Tottenham never improved as expected, it is even getting weakened lately. So, what Harry Kane can expect with Tottenham now?

- https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12309404/harry-kane-again-tells-tottenham-he-wants-to-leave-as-manchester-city-manchester-united-chelsea-lie-in-wait
- https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/man-utd/transfer-talk/news/harry-kane-tells-friends-he-wont-sign-new-tottenham-contract_510565.html

Totenham made his name bigger, kane was very loyal to the totenham this is the truth. Kane will be leaving from there the club will not extend if his contract. The main reason for him to stay in totenham caused by he got what he wants from totenham.

- big salary
- Regular time to play

many more.

Kane seems try to abandon winning trophy as achievement. So far, totenham was just getting garbage trophy. Its trophy cabinet even had nothing.
Big salary and play regularly can he get from another team, too. I'm sure he won't move to a new club if the club won't guarantee him for playing regularly and with less salary. Of course, the new club must pay a bigger salary and offer him to be the main player. A top striker like him shouldn't sit on the bench, he needs to play regularly. It is stupid if a club pays a big money for him and then put him on the bench.

By the way, if Kane really dreams to win a trophy, leaving Tottenham is a must. He won't win the UCL trophy there!!


If I where to be Tottenham, I would just allow Ken to go because it seems that the club has been begging him to remain in the club against his wish. He is not the only striker in the world and I guess if he leaves, he will give room for other young strikers  to come. And they may take Tottenham to the glory that they have been seeking for.
Could it be that he might be hardluck preventing Tottenham from winning titles. Spurs should just let him go and sign some couple of other good players and go to battle with them. That is my take on this Tottenham and Harry Kane news every season.

Manchester United failed to qualify for the semifinals due to their own actions. You can see how the mistakes made by their coach in leg 1. Erik Ten Hag failed to maintain the advantage and made the mistake of rotating players at the wrong time so that the rhythm of the game was chaotic and finally Sevilla was able to take advantage of the situation and managed to equalize at 2- 2. In the 2nd leg, Erik Ten Hag was again confused by the number of injured players, so he resigned himself to being defeated by Sevilla again. But what is clear is that MU's failure to qualify for the semifinals was purely due to his own mistakes.

I don’t agree that in the first match it was Ten Hag’s fault that the team missed the victory at the end of the match, it was some kind of ridiculous accident, but it doesn’t change the essence, they lost what seemed to be a guaranteed victory, maybe they checked into it too early. And in the second match, Sevilla was hard to stop, they were in their stadium and their fans gave them a lot of strength. The defeat of Manchester United was unexpected, but such is the reality, Sevilla really deserved this victory.
The UEFA Europa League quarter final first leg at Old Trafford between Manchester United and Sevilla ended up in a draw because of Erik Ten Hag's tactical substitution. United were two goals up before the break but were drawn level after the second half substitutions . After Lisandro Martinez was injured, Manchester United had already used up their substitution chances in the game and that caused the club to draw a match they were comfortably winning.

Arsenal's performance against Manchester City was very poor. This is why they were badly defeated. The way they performed in the last three games before this match, I was almost certain that Arsenal would not win against City. Arsenal played defensively in this match. Even so, they conceded four goals. I don't think Arsenal's defense will break down that badly. My guess was that Manchester City would probably get a narrow win. However, Manchester City played well at home. They were able to score 4 goals due to the great performance of Haaland and De Bruyne.
I wasn't expecting anything more than that in their performance, but I wasn't expecting them to concede upto four goals, I knew Manchester city will win the match, but I wasn't expecting like 1-0, or 2-1 win from Manchester city, I don't know they will be able to score 4 goals. Immediately Manchester city score their first goal, I noticed Arsenal changed their pattern and decided to be playing defensive game, even with their defensive game, I knew Manchester city will be able to break it because they are having strong strikers. Arsenal was even lucky Manchester city would have scored more than 4 goals.
Arsenal had a poor performance against Manchester City and I blame their coach for their poor performance.
As a coach, he needs to have known that the boys that he relied on starting from the beginning of the season till today have lost their forms. They are no longer in their prime because of fatigue and other things happening to them. Why did he decide to play 4-3-3 jst like what Guardiola played.
He would have decided to choke his Midfield with five men in order to be able to handle Kevin The best formation for him was 4-5-1, by playing Thomas and Jorginho as double 4.

Real Madrid @3.10, Draw @3.50 and Manchester City @2.20. Even if you bet on Manchester City though, the fact is you will still get good odds and it will still be fun when you do. After all, what kind of trick do you mean because in reality, Real Madrid in La Liga was also not as good as last season so I don't believe in a trick just to increase the stakes.

After all, Real Madrid is a big team, of course, fans and non-fans, of course, will be able to enjoy matches with their usual bets. So yes, Real Madrid and Manchester City certainly have a chance to win, but of course it's always going to be the teams that are going to win and lose the game and because of that, I'm leaning more towards Manchester City.

These are quotes for the first game where Real Madrid plays at home and therefore it is not very clear how much the bookmakers consider City as a favorite. Here are quotes for the outcome of the confrontation:

To Qualify

Real Madrid 3.35

Manchester City FC 1.32

A huge bias in favor of the City, it is almost 75% to 25%. Perhaps this is a fair estimate, but still I will hope that we will see exactly the 25% where the City will be knocked out again.

The bookmakers do not consider so many things before they release odds but in a popular match as yhe one between Real Madrid and Manchester City, all the stats are available and the bookmakers must have investigated well. Most times they chose to play mind games to deceive the gamblers.
But for this match while bookmakers favoured Manchester could be because of these reasons;
1. Manchester City is more in form than Real Madrid
2. Some key Madrid players are already out because of injuries. Player such as Modric and Militao

I don't know yet about the match of Athletic Bilbao (I'll check later), but about the Southampton, I saw on ESPN and the VAR helped the referee
Check:


Source

It is very frustrating to be winning a bet for a few seconds or minutes but then lose quickly.
By the VAR we can see that he was a little offside, unfortunately, it seems a few centimeters (I believe about 10 centimeters max), it would be impossible to get this offside without VAR, but I understand your feeling, even with the VAR it's difficult to define the exact moment when the player hit the ball to consider offside.
I think that soccer should urgently review the offside rule and eliminate it, for me it no longer makes sense to have this rule

I hope you didn't lose too much money on that bet swogerino
When VAR was newly introduced, I was somewhat happy that it will address some human errors which sometimes are deliberate either purported by the refrees or as conspired by the authority who already had arrange a particular league or cup in such a  way that will generate income for them. Such as the world cup between Brazil Ronaldinho against Ghana which Ronaldinho score with a clear offside.
But now I have realised that even with VAR a match can be fixed against you. In the worse scenario, the VAR officials will not summon the refree and they will be it.
Again the refrees doesn't face much consequences even when they make wrong decisions.

coach Ten Hag should shop more good defenders in summer if he wants to make this Manchester united team to compete for the league title next season , his challenge this season is the defend, once his two best defending choice are injured the team lose and lack confidence in the back. it affected them seriously yesterday, it was pure defending fault. i think they have to keep winning to secure the top three in the laegue table.
The problem is if we have not faced the last match. That meant if ten hag had no choice other than using the available defenders right now. As you can see that if manchester united has limited defenders at this moment. Ten hag was also feeling confuse to pick the defenders.
Eriksen was just recovering from his injury. That's the main reason why ten hag was not able to give him full time play during the match against totenham. I knew if the match against totenham was really important, but ten hag had no choice.
Eriksen needs to be replaced to make sure if he will able to perform even better.

Ten hag must have learned from some mistake that has been match duiring the match against totenham.
I think that ten hag knew the consequence by giving some bad players time to play. The result from the second half was very bad for manchester united.
Manchester united was leading the first half. I think that if MU kept use same formation like first half without any substitution and MU will able to win.
Erik Ten Hag was having a beautiful season before their elimination from the UEFA Europa League competition. They've been a shadow of the Manchester United side that claimed the Caraboa Cup few months ago.
Injury for a fact played a major part in the diminishing of the teams performance but I think Manchester United could have done better. They look set to finish the season in the top four of the league table but they can as well win more matches to round the season

Seville can be said to be lucky, because when they faced Manchester United, their opponents did not play well, and even Manchester United's defense could not be relied on at all. The majority of the goals that Sevilla scored were the result of mistakes made by Manchester United players, even in the first leg 2 of Sevilla's goals were own goals created by Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia. And in the second leg, the Manchester United defender contributed to the goals scored by Sevilla. I honestly laughed when I saw how the Manchester United defender worked.

Sevilla is surely lucky because they were playing against Manchester United while manchester united was not in good form and they had many mistakes in the game. After Ten Hag joined this team they improved their performance a lot but still sometimes they get bad results and they have unstable performances, Sevilla was lucky because they played in this situation against Manchester United.
The facts about Sevilla's luck cannot be denied anymore and they were unexpectedly able to get rid of Manchester United through two legs which was quite surprising. Maybe the absence of several Manchester United players made Sevilla so lucky in that match, especially the Red Devils' defense, which was usually filled by Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane, had to be replaced by Maguire and Lindelof.

But indeed it was predicted long ago that Manchester United's defense line would be very prone to conceding if filled by these two players and it was proven that Maguire made a fatal blunder that made Sevilla superior on aggregate and it seems that with this goal it made Sevilla unforgiving to continue the attack that made Sevilla won by a large aggregate.
One thing some of us has failed to analyze in the UEFA Europa League semi final encounter between Juventus and Sevilla is that Sevilla's quarter final opponents Manchester United plays a different style of football from Juventus.
If Sevilla approach the first game against Juve like they did against United, they might be out of the competition before playing the second leg because Juventus is one team that's defensively disciplined and clinical while attacking. So I think they're gonna be watching clips of Juventus already played matches this season and find the best way to play the two-legged matches

At the moment I hear Real Madrid have several injured players. and I hope that the injured players can recover quickly so they can play against Man City in the Champions League Semi-finals. because I want a full-strength match from both teams. I hate matches where one team doesn't play at full strength like a player is injured or something. And yeah basically it's still 50:50 Man city and Real Madrid have the same chance.
Who? i just saw that even alaba was able to go back again in the training.

Quote
Meanwhile, Thibaut Courtois continues his recovery from gastroenteritis, which forced the Belgian to miss Tuesday’s defeat in Girona. It is anticipated that the goalkeeper will return for Saturday’s LaLiga clash with Almería.

Lets tell ourselves the truth manchester city can not beat Real Madrid in this game, no doubt manchester city is one of the favourite for the title. but Real Madrid is not their match in Champions league. Real  Madrid will win this title again. i see no team stopping them. if manchester city put more effort and win or qualify to the finals, then Pep Gaurdola will be sure to win his first champions league outside Barcelona. and Manchester city will record their first ever champions league.

It would be foolish to think that a Manchester City team cannot beat Real Madrid. However, the Real Madrid team is more experienced on the Champions League platform than Manchester City. And they can perform well under pressure. However, their main weakness is that this team is overly dependent on Benzema. If Guardiola can stop Benzema I think Manchester City will win.
Real Madrid will be the favorite in this match. But the Manchester City team is in great form right now. The team is able to dominate every match in both Premier League and Champions League. So it has become more difficult for Real Madrid to beat City.
Real Madrid is without doubt is a specialist when it comes to the UEFA Champions League competition and is also the most experienced and successful club in the competition as well which is an added advantage to them as a club.
But just like Pep Guardiola said in the build-up to the all stars encounter, Manchester City are gonna play against 11 players in the pitch and not the history of the club. Manchester City almost eliminated Real Madrid last season in this same stage of the competition before Madrid made one of the fastest comebacks in the competition. But let us not forget that City were without the very deadly striker Erling Haaland who's gonna give Madrid defenders a good run for their money. It's totally unacceptable to write off any of the two clubs considering their performances this season.

Roma - Milan is going to be one of the biggest events of the week. These teams are at the same points currently and they both are targeting to secure a place in the Champions League. Milan are ahead now maybe but it must be due to scoring more goals than them. This game will play a big role in helping determine which side will be closer to the Champions League.

Besides both of these teams technically have still a chance to qualify for the Champions League depending on what the final decision about Juventus' points deduction situation will be. But none of them would like to leave their job to chance I assume. I think we will watch a goal duel between Roma and Milan once again. My priority is to bet on both teams to score.
They have the same points now in the standings by collecting 56 points, AC Milan is superior because they have better goal productivity than AS Roma. Their recent record in Serie A is not much different, they have both lost and won. AC Milan can be said to be superior, but on the other hand AS Roma has the advantage because it will act as the host in this match, I think a draw will be possible.
The league statistics between the two clubs this season makes the match a very interesting one for the both clubs. AC Milan share the same number of points and goal difference with AS Roma but are just better with more goals scored.
 Jose Mourinho have really improved the Roma side since taking over the managerial position of the club and just like AC Milan are gonna play in the semi finals of this season's UEFA Champions League competition, they're are in the last four of the UEFA Europa League competition. The top four finish is the ultimate prize that's been fought for by the two clubs this and whoever wins it is gonna count it as one of the biggest results of the season.

Arsenal have become a big disappointment about their title goal in only a few weeks. They got three draws in the games they could have won normally. The defensive issues caused them big issues. If they won those games and lost points to Manchester City only then it wouldn't have been a big problem for them. But now they are on the brink of losing the lead.

I still hope to see Arsenal winning the rest of their games at least to maintain their championship chance as much as possible. They should definitely be winning against Chelsea up next. But it feels like Manchester City will win their missing games and not lose the lead after taking it back until the end.
Since the start of the season, Arsenal has played with so much determination and hunger to win the English Premier League title that's eluded since 9 years ago but how they've lost focus and that winning mentality in the last four matches has remain a mystery to many especially the club fans.
In the past 9 years of not winning the English Premier League title, they've never come this close which will make it a very bad experience for the fans of the club not to finally see their club lift the EPL trophy after such an exciting season. I think the battle is almost over already because there's nothing stopping Pep Guardiola's Manchester City from winning the league this season.

Barcelona's victory now seems absolutely obvious, Real Madrid have other headaches to think about (see Manchester)
Honestly as I said before, in my humble opinion, if Real Madrid get through to the semi-final they've practically won the cup. This semi-final has the flavor of a final.
Madrid has high faith and confidence so they make sure they focus more on the UCL because they believe they can win the UCL again this season so they are not consistent in the league, but it is different from Manchester City while they focus on almost all domestic league competitions and also UCL, I know it might tire Manchester City players but Guardiola might want to instill in their players to have a winning mentality in all competitions, I believe Manchester City deserves to win the league this season more than Madrid.

If Madrid fail in the UCL then they will also not get a league title except for the Copa Del Rey which still has a chance because it will play in the final against Osasuna even though on paper Madrid can be sure of winning the Copa Del Rey.
To be honest, this season Real Madrid is not too convincing to win the Champions League, that's if I compare the performance between them and Manchester City. It is undeniable that Manchester City deserves more to win, once again if we look at the comparison between the two. But we know that Real madrid are a team that can always pull off big surprises, and that could happen in this match.
I think the only thing that's not cool about Real Madrid this season is the fact that they've invested more energy in the UEFA Champions League than the domestic Spanish La Liga competition and I said it is not a very wise idea because there's no certainty that they're gonna win the European Cup this season as they'll even face the strongest team in the competition this season in the semi finals.
If Madrid fails to win the Champions League and probably ends the season with his the Copa Del Rey, then this season is not gonna be counted as good season for the trophy laden club

It is rumored that Atletico and Barcelona want to swap their players, namely Yannick Carasco and Ferran Torres. Actually this is an advantage for Atletico to be able to get Ferran Torres at a relatively young age and Barcelona seem to prefer Yannick Carasco who has more experience with his age which is almost touching 30 years soon. On the other hand, this is clearly a loss for Barcelona if he does this swap considering that Ferran Torres is actually still very good for the depth of the Barcelona squad, it's just that maybe he doesn't meet Xavi's expectations. What do you think, is this swap really worth it for both teams?
If this happens then this will indeed be a loss for Barcelona again because considering the price of Ferran when he was bought from Manchester City it was 55 million but indeed since he was given the trust to play until now, Ferran has failed to display good performance for Barcelona even though his position still has to change and lose competitiveness by Gavi who wasn't even in that position.
If this swapping finally happens, I think Atletico Madrid are gonna make more profits from the deal and that's because of the age and total performance of the two players that are involved.
Yannick Carasco has been in fine form for Atletico this season and has a also been regular for the club in the past few seasons but Ferran Torres has shown great potentials right from his days at Manchester City but has not really fitted in Xavi Hernandez's Barcelona. At Atletico he'll be maximizedly used by Diego Simeone and u think he'll be one of the best attackers in world football in few years to come

Union Berlin is third in the Bundesliga points table. The team managed to perform fairly well. But the Union Berlin side are just a few points behind Bayern Munich and Dortmund. If the team had some quality players then the team would have been able to perform better.
The third place in the temporary standings in the Bundesliga is a very worthy place for Union Berlin, because this position is very enough for Union Berlin to secure a ticket for the Champions League next season. So Union Berlin doesn't need to push themselves to beat Bayern Munich and Dortmund who are currently still fighting for first place in the Bundesliga, although Union Berlin will look absolutely amazing if they can outperform these two teams for the rest of the season.
But I doubt Union Berlin will be able to do it because the opportunity was before them but they were not able to maximize it enough that now there are only 2 clubs left to compete for the league title this season, Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

This week Union Berlin will face Leverkusen, a team that is currently in top performance, interesting even though Union Berlin will be the home team and also have a better position in the standings but the bookmakers don't give them odds as the favorite team to win the match, instead Leverkusen as a team away is the more favorite, betting on Leverkusen to win is quite promising, moreover, their success in beating Leipzig has increased Leverkusen's value as one of the favorite teams to win many matches lately this season, and next season will be even tougher competition in the Bundesliga because Leverkusen is included in the list of teams that have the opportunity to make it difficult for any team that is targeting a championship next season.
For the first time in over 7 Bundesliga seasons, we haven't experienced this kind of closely contesting competition among the top four clubs at this stage of the season and I think it's a good way to advertise German football to the world.
Union Berlin who are occupying the third spot is just five points behind league leaders Borussia Dortmund and four points behind second placed Bayern Munich. I think they still stand a chance to win the league if the two higher in position clubs underperforms in the remaining fixtures of the league season.

They underestimated their opponent because they were doing well until the situation changed, and Tottenham took advantage of their chance to make sure they added another goal. I believe that Manchester United was at ease because they believed there was no way that Tottenham would have scored a goal, and to their greatest surprise they did, is actually a lesson learned.




Perhaps they did underestimate their opponents as they were doing so well and leading by two goals in the first half. They built up the pressure during the first half but couldn’t continue and lost the momentum gathered from th first half. They truly seemed to be a ease and probably thought Spurs couldn’t turn things around and comeback from being two goals down.
Two goals isn’t actually that difficult to recover from for a motivated team and Spurs proved it in this game. I also observed there were some good chances for both sides to score more goals. Manchester United should have rode on the first half win to get the three points at the end of the final whistle.
I do not think that Manchester United players underestimated the Tottenham players. There is not how you are going to undermine a team that has three star players are different: namely; Richardson, Kane and Son.

One of the major problems of Manchester United this ending of the season is the coach has wrong substitution mentality. I remember, when he makes these changes problems arose in the team, He did it the last match and he did it again this much, and he has done it, a couple of matches, he should learn to stick with his plan to the end of the game, and not make unnecessary changes in the midfield and defense to scatter everything.

Milan have done a really great job so far in the Champions League unlike their general Serie A performance. They can even qualify for the final round now. In the meantime Rafael Leao has been one of the most impressive players of the team. His contribution level with goals and assists to his team has been at a significant rate until now. This must have attracted the attention of some big teams already.

Right now, he has a contract running until June 2024. This is a pretty close date as there is only around a year left. I wonder if Milan have started negotiations for a new contract already. They had better do so because it would be really difficult to keep him in the team otherwise. It isn't a big deal for rich teams to spend amounts like 100 million euros or so on skilled players like this. We might even see at least one team making an offer and trying their chance this summer.
I would personally wants to see a Champions League finals of an English team versus an Italian team ir a  Spanish team versus an Italian team. For some recent times, the finals have always been between the Spanish team and the english team.
With the level of form that both Madrid.and Manchester City has, I know, it will be a fierced match for the giants of Italy, but since it is a final, anything can happen.
I really applaud the performance of the Italian teams this season including Napoli. Let's go for it next season.

I think speculations of Ngolo Kante move to Barcelona are mere rumours because Chelsea are considering extending his contract to remain at the club for another year which indicates that Chelsea still consider him as an important player and want him to continue to add experience to their midfield group.
Yes, that's true, the rumors about Kante's move to Barcelona will not come true. Because the midfielder has reportedly agreed to press a new contract with Chelsea. I thought, how could Todd be able to let go of this important player with the condition of the club that was in a slump? Todd must retain good players to restore Chelsea's performance.

Even if Chelsea is ready to release Kante, will he even be a good business for Barcelona? Considering his age and the long term injury he went and the possibility he will not be injured again.
Wait, is it not still same Barcelona that has been benching De Jong, will they now play Kante?
If Chelsea knows what is good for them, at this process of rebuilding, they should not sell their good players because it is not every young star player that would like to join a team not in champions league and not in Europa League

The Champions League can't just depend on one player. even though messi is a sensational player but depending on Messi in the Champions League and blaming him when he fails is a condition that is quite childish I think.
This requires team harmony and not just an individual thing when it comes to bigger competitions.
A team must work together which will produce perfect results.  relying on one player is not very good let alone blaming him when he fails to advance to the next round. lionel messi has given all his best strength for psg this season and failure in the champions league certainly can't blame him.

psg must try to be even better next season in the champions league they need performance and coaches who have long experience in the champions league so that when they meet a strong team in the champions league they can cope with a strategy from a coach who is able to give tough resistance to his opponents.
It is not ideal to rely on one player to win the Champions league and even if you want to rely on a particular player it should not be Messi at his age. Neymar Jr even made better efforts than what is happening presently when he was signed as the hit man for PSG. Again I believe the ability of Mbappe to pull a solo effort in the Champions league than Messi.
Nature cannot be cheated. Messi ha played his prime and he is not much hungry to win any more thing because he has won all already.
