Messi is about to be free agent and his priority won't be PSG that's for sure. Maybe things would have been different if PSG signed a more successful manager immediately. They are still discussing whether Galtier should be given another chance or not. This is an unsuccessful season and you shouldn't have the luxury to even discuss such thing as a result.

Messi and Neymar might even leave at the same time. Messi will wait to hear from Barcelona before making his final decision. If there is no offer then I assume he would continue with PSG for one more season instead of leaving Europe for Al Ittihad. When it comes to Neymar he hasn't got any offer yet. But if he gets from a big team then he might also leave quickly.
The certainty of Lionel Messi's future with Paris Saint Germaine doesn't have anything to do with wether PSG would get a new manager or allow the current manager to remain at the club.
Messi's saw that the club fans had became very uncomfortable with his presence in the club because they feel he's not doing as much as he's supposed to do for the club. That fallout started after Messi led Argentina and defeated France in the 2022  World Cup final but failed to help PSG go past the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League competition this season. Reports from the media suggests that he still wants to play in Europe

I think this season Ancelotti tried to gamble in La Liga and instead of putting the same energy into La Liga and the champions league, he tried to put more energy into the champions league it was not a more important trophy for them to win but in the end, the lost the gamble and Real Madrid could even be in the final match, in the other hand Real Madrid lost the La Liga title and there is even the chance for Ancelotti and his players to even lost the position in the second place of the league to Atletico Madrid if they lose the point in the last week of this season.
I don't think what you have said above was true. Some old players owned by Madrid were often injured, which is my main reason for doubting your statement.. Didn't you remember when benzema injured in the earliest of this season? real madrid was missing so many scores in the early phase of la liga.

Real madrid can only rely benzema. That's why real madrid needs to rebuild its team for the upcoming season. I can't deny that if ancelotti was making a mistake by not buying a good striker during the middle of season.

It's time for madrid to rebuild the team again. Buying strikers will become the main priority for real madrid since real madrid doesn't have good striker at this moment other than benzema.

Benzema may be leaving from the club as soon as possible if he will be agreed with an offer from al ittihad.
Carlo Ancelotti didn't start the season with the mindset that he'll try and make his Real Madrid team finish in the top two position in the league and then channel all his energy in winning the UEFA Champions League title just as many had thought.
Real Madrid started the season as major contender to win both competitions but at the long run they were trailing Barcelona with a significant point difference in the league while they were having a good run the Champions League and that was when the manager decided to go for the Champions League that they had a better chance of winning than the the league title but unfortunately they lost both

This season we had a weird season in Serie A because Napoli won the league while they had also a huge gap between them and other teams, also in Napoli, we saw many young players like Osimhem who get a small number of salaries while other similar players are getting a huge amount of salaries other teams and this young player is definitely going to leave Napoli to a great team at the end of this season.
The other weird thing about this game was mostly because of what we saw about Juventus where they lost points two times and they had an unstable situation because of that.
A surprise did occur in Serie A this season, because Napoli were not predicted to become champions but they managed to do it. with the existing squad where there were no star players in their squad but they were able to beat other big teams like inter milan, ac milan and juventus in the race for the Scudetto title.

Osimhen does have a fairly small salary at Napoli, of course this is a big consideration for him to join another team in the transfer window later. Juventus have had many problems this season that have forced them to close the season outside the top 4.
Napoli are really able to perform optimally when other teams appear to be sluggish throughout the season. Many surprises have happened this season, so it's no wonder that many predictions have gone wrong. Partenopei of course will not be able to repeat success like this season in the coming period.

Osimhen is indeed a new star in Serie A, but in my opinion it is better for Napoli to let him go because for now he still has a pretty fantastic price in the transfer market. I'm sure if Osimhen survives he will find himself in trouble again and make his bargaining value cheap again.
Napoli really stunned the football fans all over the world to win the just concluded Serie A in excellent style. Their manager Luciano Spalletti isn't getting the praises he deserves if you ask me because he really did a lot of tactical work to find the best style that suits his team.
One other obvious reason for Napoli's impressive run was their main striker Victor Osimhen who had the best season of his professional football career and also won the Italian golden boot. Napoli president has said that he's not gonna allow him leave the club this summer but I still don't think that Osimhen will remain at the club past this summer.

It's a shame, especially about Gianluca Mancini who managed to create an assist for Dybala but Gianluca Mancini also scored an own goal. Also, I got some footage, it looks like Sevilla has quite the advantage because the referee doesn't seem to be on AS Roma's side. Because there was a moment when a Sevilla player had a hand ball in the penalty box, but the referee didn't make it a penalty because the hand ball occurred in the penalty box. If so, then Sevilla again and again get lucky because after all, if the referee made a fairer decision then it looks like AS Roma will still win until the end of the match with a score of 1-0 or 2-1.

How this can be a shame for Roma when they lost the game to Sevilla because they had a perfect performance in this game and I think regardless of their own goals Roma could readily even beat Seivvla in this game.
Also, Sevilla is not a weak team and they are known for their performance in Europa League in the previous seasons.
I don't think anyone who watched the UEFA Europa League final between Sevilla and Roma would boldly want to say it was a shame for Roma. The best of professional footballers does do similar or even worse mistake than what we saw Mancini do on that game.
But Roma could've have still win the game if the referee had given the the penalty after the ball hit a Sevilla player in the arm. Roma were the better side that night but Sevilla where the lucky side and that's why they won

So we have some sort of Premier League action tomorrow despite the season to be officially over.We have the final of FA cup with the derby of Manchester.I know Manchester City is the favored team from the bookies and I assume most of us would agree with them as City has been making short work of all their recent adversaries in all competitions they have taken place.They have already won the Premier League title and if they win the FA cup also would be a nice addition to them which would also boost further confidence to them to win the Champions League next weekend on 10th of June.
Manchester City is the most favoured to win the FA Cup. In fact Manchester City is at the verge of winning g treble this season and I don't see any club stopping them. Manchester United that would have tried to stop them in the FA Cup is already battling injuries because but Anthony and Anthony Martial will not be present in the match.
This just means that Manchester United will have a weaker attack than Manchester City.
Although Rafael Varane has said that he isn't scared of Haaland but all these are on paper, on field tomorrow we will see what happens.

Today in the vening the first relegation match is starting between Stuttgart and Hamburg at 20:25 European Time.
Suttgart playes at home and i hope that this helps them to win there game against Hamburg.
On the 5. June 2023 at the same time , there will be the next game in Hamburg.

the time is not right . the match starts at 8:45 pm in stuttgart . the match will be shown live on free-tv SAT1 and livestram on ran.de .
both matches are completely sold out . i hope we see many nice goals and the better or luckier team will play in the 1.bundesliga next season .
so...66 minutes to go and the match starts  Wink



Totally not a fan of relegation. I don't like HSV but I am always rooting for the lower league team in these events.
Relegation in my eyes is so unfair. A team that played shit the whole season can safe it in 2 games while a team that played good the whole season will get punished if they don't deliver in those 2 crucial games.

The reason you hate relegation is very much laughable. And your logic is not connecting with what you are trying to express.
How do you mean that a team that has been doing well from the beginning of the season can be punished because of the last two matches and they'll be relegated. While the team that has been performing so poor could be lucky in the last two matches and they will not be relegated. Let me ask you, is it the last two matches that determine who is relegated or who is not relegated? From the first day the season starts relegation battle has started.
If the team was so good from the beginning of the season, why will they be in the relegation zone in the last two matches?

Inter Milan are really weaker than Manchester City and their task will be more difficult than Roma. They will have to play with one of strongest clubs in Europein this season and with very high ambition to win a first Champions League. Manchester City are stronger than Sevilla in attacking and Inter Milan players will need to have double-decker bus or more to hold Manchester City before they can think of a winning goal or penalties.

Inter Milan team is slightly weaker than Manchester City. But I wouldn't say that Inter Milan is too weak. Inter Milan have a strong squad. Despite not being able to maintain consistency in Serie A, this team has managed to perform very well in the Champions League. Inter Milan will find it difficult to beat City. Because City are in their best form. City players are very confident. But beating City is difficult but not impossible. And I think Inter Milan has the ability to win against City. I don't think the match will be one-sided. Even if Manchester City wins, it will not be easy for City to win this match.
I do not see the ability of Inter Millan to beat Manchester City in the Champions League finals. As opposed to what you thunk or believe, I myself thinks that the match will be highly one sided. If Guardiola and his men will not underrate Inter and then face them squarely, believe me that Inter Milan will be down even in the first half of the finals.
Inter Milan is in the range of Newcastle United and Brighton of England this year. There's no doubt they will give a fight, but they are no match to Manchester City this season.

Today Gaultier also confirmed that Messi is going to leave PSG for another team. In the previous weeks and because of that we saw we could already know that Messi is leaving PSG for another destination. But the fact about Messi is we can't be sure about his destination for the next season and all we know about him is the interest of Barcelona to hire this player for another time.  


https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/01/galtier-confirms-messi-will-leave-psg-and-defends-argentinians-time-at-club

The biggest chance where Messi will play next season is Barcelona for sure. Comeback would mean a big deal for both Barcelona and Messi. He could play there for 1-3 years more max and thats it. Second option is Al hilal for sure with how the big the salary offer is. Third option is Inter Miami in the MLS but i think that isnt realistic at the moment. Good thing that he is leaving PSG he wasnt even at his best form or even close to it.
If Messi returns to Barcelona again, Messi will have that time back. The PSG club has no players in support of Messi recently and it is never possible to play in a club with the fans and against him. If Lionel Messi goes back to Barcelona, he will go back to his country and that country will keep his word. There should be no shortage of Messi supporters. Barcelona are showing a lot of interest in signing Messi but they are financially strapped so if they really want to sign Messi they can let go of a few players. Because when the best time of his career comes, Messi will definitely not want any problems with salary. Al hilal could be a good opportunity for Messi considering the salary.
You don't know the plan, Messi might be going to Inter which is surprising to many people.  I read that there is an untold agreement going on between Barcelona and Inter. This deal is for Inter to help Barcelona to buy Messi because Barcelona may be trapped by the FIFA financial fair rule.
So, if Inter buys Messi, they will loan him to Barcelona gor 18 months. With this method we can be able to see Messi in Camp Nou in the next season. That is if the football star did not choose Saudi Money over Barcelona.

I think Guardiola knows already how important it is the game they are going to have against Inter Milan and that's why I think you are right Pep Guardiola will even save some players and give them rest in the final match against Manchester United to have a fresh team against Inter Milan since we saw a bad performance from Manchester United I think even if Guardiola give some rest to some players they can still easily win that game against Manchester United.
What you have suggested is good but I don't think Guardiola would so much pamper players because of the Champions League. These guys are used to playing multiple matches, not to talk of the UCL final that is a week after the match against Man U tomorrow. Both Inter Milan and Man U are not matches for the present Man City, Pep would manage his team well and they will just do their best as they mostly do.
Thats true. I think the Final in the FA Cup against Manchester United is also very important. So that Pep Guardiola will definitely continue to play their best players. But if Man City has scored a goal and is sure enough to win the match then several core players will be pulled off the pitch. Getting a trophy in the FA Cup is also one of Pep Guardiola's goals this season. Because they want to get 3 trophies in one season.
Trust me Guardiola will use his full squad against Manchester United and will still use the full squad against Inter in the Champions League finals
I mean after Manchester United FA Cup Finals, there is still more than one week for the Champions League. So who is talking about resting players? On a normal day Guardiola boys used to play every weekend. So what is so special about this that you begin to rest players. The more you rest players you risk them losing  form. So in order to keep them inform you have to play them always.

I also saw Rome had played well enough but even though in the end Roma lost through the penalty shootout that would not make the defeat embarrassing, because the defeat through penalties did not look embarrassing, congratulations to Sevilla
I do agree with it. Roma has a chance to win the game but mancini has been ruining it. It's sevilla's luck. Roma must accept if sevilla is again winning europa league for the seventh time.
Roma didn't have strong mentality when it comes to the penalty against sevilla.

Roma were unlucky. Otherwise, an experienced player like Gianluca Mancini would not have made such a big mistake in such an important match. It was a ridiculous mistake. And Mancini shouldn't be blamed for that. He did not understand the movement of the ball properly. However, Roma's performance was quite good. But still, they can't win. It was Roma's misfortune. However, with Sevilla's performances this season, they deserve the title. The performance of Sevilla's players in the final was impressive.
Undoubtedly, Roma were the better side in that final match last night and if not for Mancini's huge mistake, Roma would've won the game in normal time.
That being said, I'm yet to understand the reason behind the Anthony Taylor's(the referee) decision not to had awarded Roma that penalty because from the footage, it's very obvious that it was a penalty. I saw a video clip of where Jose Mourinho went to confront the referee after the game because of his unsatisfactory officiating of the match. UEFA needs to do better in calling referees to other in situations like that

I don't really think sevella team is aiming to improve their position in the standings because their focus is on the European league final, also they are away from European competesions spots so there is no point on getting better position
The focus on the Europa League is good but the games are decided now. If they win today's match then as you said they will not be too ambitious because the Champions League ticket is guaranteed, but on the other hand if they lose today's match there really is no reason for them to give up because the position in the Conference league is still hopeful. for them even though many are eyeing it.

They won today's game and will now be in UCL. Despite this league standings, it is great luck for Sevilla that they will be in the UCL as the winner of the UEL cup. They had a very difficult year in La Liga this year and their ranking was bad. Luckily they won the trophy and will be at UCL next year.
There is no need for Sevilla to put more efforts in the Laliga and even if they do, their efforts will not drastically change their standing in thr league. So, they are much relaxed because they are now in the Champions League. It is just a victory whose reward gives joy.
I have a question
What if Sevilla is relegated in the Laliga and they won the Europa League to go to the champions league. Where will they play next season. In Bundesliga or lower division (Bundesliga 2)?

It was a bad management from the referee yesterday night.Roma played better until the point Dybala was out for that Netherland attacker which was the worse player of the whole match in my opinion.The referee missed two clamorous penalties for Roma and one for Sevilla and the bad thing was that he kept saying "No penalty,no penalty",I wonder why UEFA let Premier League referees in such finals,they are not fit for when two teams of other nations play each other as they are used to another type of football in the Premier League,I am not saying they should not manage a final but not such type of referees who made the game go a different way.
I have never had confidence in England refs to be given such a prestigious match to officiate. That ref wasn't professional and he missed upto 3 penalties and couldn't award them. Mourinho also said it during his press conference.  I don't know why it is difficult for a ref to stop play, check var and award penalty.
I wonder who will official the Champions League finals, this kind of errors shouldn't be tolerated at all if actually we should be taking UEFA seriously this time around.

I also doubt whether Brighton will be able to maintain their good quality next season. Because even some of the good players that Brighton have are likely to be let go. For example, Alexis Mac Allister is also reportedly ready to go to Liverpool. and Brighton's party is also ready to release it. Even though I feel Alexis Mac Allister is still needed for Brighton. At first I thought Brighton would keep him. But I was surprised that Brighton was ready to let him go to Liverpool.
Brighton permitting key players to depart the club during the transfer window; they may need to create more revenue to attract additional players; the seagulls' performance this season was outstanding. Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is the major reason the team qualified for a European place this season; he's the general planner of their form; he foresees everything that happens in the club and tends to correct matters with adequate game strategies. Mac Allister will join Liverpool next season, which I don't consider a loss because there will always be a player who can serve as a good backup replacement for the Argentine.
Brighton holding back their star players like Allister will pressure them.
They will face challenges of maintaining the players such as salary raise among others but that is not the kind of situation that Brighton want to face now until they reach top 4 on the English Premier League table and then they could be called a big team.
I don't know why you gave all the glory of Brighton performance to their coach. Have you forgotten so fast that when Potter was there, he was doing excellently well? I will rather give the glory to the team and  not single out the coach for the glory.

Benzema situation seems to be getting more serious, Real wants to keep him and they did not have a plan that he would leave, the ydo not have a striker right now and they would need to spend the whole summer getting a decent striker without a doubt, of course that is if Benzema leaves. But it looks like he might, we have seen his trainer have a farewell video but then defended as something he saw online and shared that's it, but that's probably because Benzemas camp wanted him to be silent about it. I think when you offer a 35+ year old 100 mil a year, there is a very small chance he doesn't take it, dude won't see that much combined in his life after this season, so taking that makes sense.
Karim Benzema won't loss bigger opportunities with salary of 100 million euros in a years and seems excited offering although have to play with unpopular competition as Saudi Pro League. Due he has been 35 years old and impossible any European teams want to pay fantastic salary for him and leave Real Madrid with one year contract extended is better for him.

Actually this news from one side only and Karim Benzema not confirmed yet will agree or not with this offering, Real Madrid not any official announced yet about Karim Benzema decision want to leave Real Madrid next season. Waiting with next update about Benzema want to leave Madrid or reject with excited offering from Saudi Pro League team.
Karim Benzema has already played the apex of his career and to me he has no reason to reject such a huge offer. I read in rumours that the offer has been increased again in order to attract Karim.
Tbh, Karim has won world best player, Karim has won many champions league trophies and He also has won La liga titles.
He simply can be called a fulfilled player and this is the right time for him to go on hos retirement tour to Saudi and make huge money for self and family.

Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne are the most dangerous players and don't matter which team is the opponent, these two players are both dangerous and I think football fans expect t see weel performances from these two players in one of the most important matches they are going to have in their lives.
Haaland is just like a nightmare for any team and I guess Inter Milan's defensive line should focus on this player otherwise they will be punished.

Yes but Real Madrid has proven that it is possible to take Haaland out of the game in the literal sense. In the first leg he was almost invisible and in the second leg he also didn't score and neither did De Bruyne in the second leg. I am mentioning this because the focus will be on those two players, but what makes Manchester City really strong is the fact that they have eleven players who are outstanding. Most of them can score whether they play in the offensive or midfield lines. Since Inter is strong defensively, they will know well enough that Haaland should not be their only focus and it won't be.
Apart from KDB and Haaland, Manchester City has outstanding 11 players on the pitch who can make dangerous effects at any time in the pitch. For the team to have outstanding 11 players and few more dangerous players make it to become a night mare for any team to hold them down for 90mins.
Even if you succeed to cut Haaland off, KDB will come in and play the role and when you succeed in cutting KdB off, anyone can come in and play the role. That is the beauty of having an exceptional squad.

Lucky Sevilla again won the europe league just unbelieveble. 7 finals 7 wins for them and this is some kind of record in all competitions. Sevilla now has far the most titles in this tournament and no body is even close to them at all. Too bad for Roma really wanted them to win

AS Roma should have been able to maintain their lead after Dybala scored first in the 35th minute. Unfortunately for As Roma, Gianluca Mancini blundered with an own goal which ultimately gave Jose Luis's team a high boost of enthusiasm and motivation. even Sevilla was only able to have 2 shots on target in 90 minutes of normal time, and one shot that hit AS Roma's goal post. bad luck came back, Dybala was pulled out in the 68th minute because he was injured again.
As for Tammy Abraham, he didn't have too many chances so he was replaced in the 75th minute. in fact, AS Roma had 4 big chances but they were unable to take advantage of them properly.

In contrast to Sevilla, despite having 19 total shots. only 3 were on target, and even then from the whole game plus overtime. fortunately, I bet on the handicap option. because, previously I suspected that this match had the potential to continue in extra time. So, I didn't lose this bet. yes, what can you do, AS Roma have to admit that Sevilla has more right to win this competition, although once again I say that luck is really on Sevilla's side. So, congrats to Sevilla.
It was a keenly contested final but I think Roma were a better side because they had better chances to win the game but failed to take those chances. Jose Mourinho for the first time lost a European final and I he'll not be happy about it.
However, Sevilla isn't known as the most successful club in the UEFA Europa League competition for nothing. They know how to win games even when they're second best on the pitch. I know they were gonna win the the game if it gets to penalty shoot-outs because they have a more experienced team. Jose Mourinho might be heading out of Italy in the summer but he would've wanted to do it after winning the Europa League competition

A team that has qualified for the UCL final cannot be such a weak side. Seeing that they have performed well, they have reached the final of the Champions League. And things are not as simple as we think of things. Manchester City may be the favorites for the Champions League final but they will have to work hard and if one mishap happens the outcome of this match could be anything. Inter Milan have to consider Manchester City a very strong opponent. As a strong opponent, all the plans that need to be made against Inter Milan must be done in the final match. If they can play with their best, then Manchester City will be far ahead of the chances of winning the UEFA Champions League trophy.
You are right. and that every team that passes to the Finals is certainly a strong team. They didn't qualify just by luck. but they can qualify for the final level because they have the ability to get there. And it's the same with Inter Milan. Maybe many say that Inter Milan has pretty good luck in the Champions League this season. Because they didn't meet giant teams like Bayern and Real Madrid in the quarter-finals and semi-finals. But still Inter Milan has managed to beat opponents who are also quite strong like Benfica. and also in the end Inter Milan was able to beat AC Milan who had beaten Napoli who had a lot of favor this season.

So even though I agree that Man City is the most superior, Inter Milan still has the same chance of winning as Man City. but I don't want anyone to get injured from both teams before the final starts. I expect maximum matches from both teams.
I do not think that "luck" would bring a team to finals. I understand that it could be luck to get you a win or two, but to finals is not something you could do with luck, it has to be just talent or nothing else. Inter managed to face with teams that were easier than what City had to face against, that is a true reality and I do agree with that but in the end the teams Inter faced against were teams that were that high on UCL as well so they shouldn't be considered nobodies neither, they were totally good teams.

In the end, we are going to see a good game, I don't care how many people think that it will be easy game, you never know until the final whistle and we are going to see which team will be playing better. It's not impossible for Inter to win, difficult for sure, but not impossible.
In football, I don't think anyone can win a major silverware without some bits of luck. In some cases there are teams who weren't convincing enough to make to a final but because of "Luck" as well
However Inter Milan's qualification to the final wasn't about "luck" because they played exceptionally well against their opponents en route to the final. Manchester City played a more difficult opponents than Inter but Inter Milan deservedly reached the final because of how well they played

consistency and mentality are needed to overshadow the whole season in order to become champions, Manchester City have that while Arsenal do not therefore it is very appropriate for Manchester City to win the Premier League this season.
It's quite unfortunate indeed when Arsenal were able to top the standings for a very long time but they failed to become champions but they had to accept that because it was the team's own fault for not being able to be consistent at important times.

Arsenal needed to be consistent at all times while competing for the Premier League title, which they lost to Manchester City. There was some kind of lost priority and sense of mistrust in the club, which caused many players to lose that confidence. I believe they lost what they needed most in the final minutes rather than losing other less critical things.  They've learned a valuable lesson, and I'm confident they'll implement it over soon.
I think Arsenal were consistent and also had that winning mentality during the course of the just concluded English Premier League campaign. They played like a team who were hungry for the title more than any other team in the league until the sometime in March.
The problem Arsenal had if you ask me was that lack of depth in the sqaud. Their contending counterpart Manchester City on the other hand has a sqaud whose second XI can beat any team in the league and that I think was why they win the league ahead of Arsenal

Both Roma and Sevilla showed that they deserved the final in this match. Both teams could have won the game. All the players did their best. We watched how Mourinho put pressure on the match. There were names who received a yellow card in the bench. All in all it was a good match. Penalties are luck. That's why both teams deserve this trophy. But in the end, only one team wins the trophy.

There was a great physical and mental struggle on the field. There were players who had difficulty in overtime and quit the game. Congratulations to both teams for their hard work.

The winning side of this cup is usually Sevilla. Congratulations to Sevilla who won the cup.
Congratulations to Sevilla who has just beaten AS Roma to win their their 7th UEFA Europa League trophy.
The both teams played their best in the game and both teams also deserve to win but unfortunately to Roma they lost in the penalty shoot-outs and luckily to Sevilla they win the competition that they're known to be a specialist in

Having an understanding of how Dortmund needs to be a lot more "calm" when it comes down to the last games would be the key thing to work on and it is not going to be easy. Bayern didn't tremble, they won the last game just like they suppose to and Mainz wasn't really a team that Dortmund should be having trouble against neither, losing to them was the most psychological loss I have ever seen, it wasn't due to their tactic, not their roster quality, not anything else, it was purely just because they were not ready for it and that's it.

This is why I honestly believe that we should see Dortmund work on the last weeks, how they could do that is beyond me, that's managers job, but they need to be more consistent on the last weeks to get the title.
How Borussia Dortmund who kept cool to beat Leipzig a week before the last matchweek, was unable to win Mainz at home has remained a very big surprise for me. I expected a better team performance from the Dortmund players.
This is the closest they've come to winning the German Bundesliga since they last won it in 2012 and now that they failed to win it, i think it'll be difficult to end Bayern Munich's dominance in the German league.
