Dortmund did deserve to be here with the season they had, but I still do not give them a single chance. I understand that anything is possible in football and they have a chance as much as anyone else, but I feel like it is not going to be that easy to make it work, I feel like we are going to see it change a bit.

The final match is still yet to be played and I see a lot of hope in Dortmund just like I can see in Real Madrid also. To have come this far, they should be respected and not underrated by any team. The oddsmaker can give whatever they like in this match, but it’s not that both teams can’t do their thing to make themself win. It will be an even match and the best team will be the one to prevail in this match. Dortmund is the less team in this case but that does not stop them from trying to be champions in this season’s champions league. They can try their best and if their best is good enough, they can become winners tomorrow.
I admit that in this final round both teams must be highly respected and not underestimate each other because the final result in the UCL is always unknown which could end in a surprise but for me the surprise will not be that Madrid will lose but will only end in a draw and continue the match goes to the penalty round.
no one underestimates these two teams and in fact I will not underestimate Dortmund even as a Madrid fan but I admit that Dortmund and Madrid both have advantages as has often been said by many people here if Madrid has a strong attack line and a good defense strong while Dortmund has a strong defense line but a not so strong attack line.

I'm just predicting for now that it's very likely that Madrid will concede early because I'm sure Ancelotti would prefer to see opportunities that can be used to provide strategy to Madrid players and will respond with a bigger score in the second half.
BTTS is really the best choice in this match and can't wait to watch this match because most people will bet big in this final round.

psg under luis enrique might be the best team this season. PSG once assembled the best stars in the world in their club but still their team was not the best because then their team was weak in every position except the attacking line. After Luis Enrique took charge of the team, he made a number of changes to the team's tactics along with performances, which led to Parisian fans starting to see a new face with this team next season. Although they are going to lose Mbappe, their club's biggest star this season, they are not too disappointed to lose Mbappe because if Mbappe leaves, they will be able to sign some more players in the transfer window. We can only expect this team to perform well in the upcoming season and live up to their expectations.
one of Enrique most prominent advantages is that he is very neat in managing PSG players and always testing how PSG will perform without Mbappe with the aim of seeing how and what needs to be strengthened after Mbappe leaves and I am sure that Enrique arrival will give great confidence from PSG owner to retain the coach.
not only that is Enrique advantage but he can also provide something big when PSG can appear in the UCL with a very extraordinary performance and can reach the semi finals even though they failed, but the owner of PSG is very confident that if this team is managed by Enrique, it will definitely become a team which will be very strong later.

but there were some doubts in my mind when Enrique tried to test PSG without Mbappe several times, it was very clear that PSG did not get satisfactory results and I am sure Enrique is aware of this and I doubt that in Mbappe current position if there will be no new players in the future can replace Mbappe, of course in every League 1 or UCL match, PSG performance will be a little unstable and difficult to predict.

Manchester City has a good team and the only thing they will need to do for the next season is to mostly have stability and have their current players and coaches for the next season to get the same good results in the next season. But since Manchester City is going to keep Guardiola in the team I think the chance for the other teams is not high.
However, Arsenal is trying to still get improve and maybe they can finally beat Manchester City in the Premier League after years of losing this race against Manchester City.
keeping Guardiola won't give Man City a big problem and if you know, actually this season isn't that bad and it often happens to other teams, but the fact that Man City can still get the EPL title even though they lost the UCL title doesn't mean that Man City performance has decreased and it doesn't mean that Guardiola failure.
Indeed, every team must continue to regenerate players or coaches, but if everything is fine, there is certainly no need to replace the existing coach and on the one hand, Guardiola is still very capable of continuing to maintain his achievements in dominating the EPL and will not give Arsenal any opportunities.
meanwhile, if you look deeper, Man City actually doesn't need a new coach, but this team needs several new players to strengthen each line and maybe having quality reserve players would be better in case one of the players gets injured because Haaland had an injury and a few You have to be careful to get quality reserve players.

while the comparison between Man City and Arsenal is actually very different and Arsenal always have difficulty in overcoming consistent problems, whereas to win the EPL title you have to be able to maintain consistency until the end of the season and you'll see when the next season starts, you will definitely see Arsenal performing well in the start of the season but after that they lost consistency when the UCL matches started, Arsenal will definitely be busy in the UCL matches and not focus on maintaining consistency in the EPL.

After finding out about Milan's sacking Pioli recently I'm curious about who they will bring for the job. I couldn't find any news related to a candidate yet. Does anyone suitable comes to your mind?  Huh

I only remember Pochettino who is available after getting sacked by Chelsea recently. He hasn't managed an Italian team in his career yet but there is always an opportunity to try a new adventure.  Smiley  If Mourinho didn't sign a deal with Fenerbahçe then maybe there might have been a chance for him to return to Italy. But Milan seems like they have a strict policy with bringing an Italian manager. Most of their managers so far have been like that so let's see who it will be this time.
I don't think Milan has fired Pioli and maybe this is the final step they can take before next season starts. We know that Milan's record is not good enough even though they managed to finish in 2nd place in the standings and if they had not dropped points in some of their matches then they would have been much more reliable as Inter's competitors in winning the Scudetto.

But it's all over and they really have to do something different next season. Regarding the available coaches, I don't think Pochettino will be suitable to handle the Italian team and if possible they could contact Conte who is also still available on the market. I think an Italian coach will still be Milan's main choice rather than a coach from another country.
what I know is that Milan lost several times, which you said was not entirely the coach's fault, but as far as I remember, at that time, Milan had problems with main players being injured, so several main players had to be replaced with reserve players, which ended up having to suffer several defeats and not being able to compete with Inter.
and on the one hand, the quality of Inter players is really very different from the talent and teamwork which is far superior to Milan, while Pioli has actually provided the right strategy and contributed to being the best team, but the fact is that whatever Milan does is not enough to compete with Inter.

regarding the coach who might be Pioli replacement and suitable for Milan, it is actually not Conte, because I heard from several people on this forum providing sources that Conte would prefer to be with Napoli and seems to have agreed to work together next season.
Mourinho is one of the experienced coaches who might be more suitable to replace Pioli, even though Pioli is still convincing to become Milan coach, but if Milan management really wants to find a new coach, it looks like Mourinho could be one of the candidates for a new coach who can bring Milan to the next level.

Luka Modric is certainly more successful than Toni Kroos, his title win with Real Madrid is the best proof. Modric has won 24 titles with Real Madrid since joining in 2012, that was only 2 years before Kroos joined. Both players are club legends, but I don't think they will be as widely remembered as Ronaldo.
Kroos and Modric are players whose skills will truly be recognized, even though they will not be remembered like Ronaldo, but still most European football fans will know the history these two players have.
TBH, actually I like Kroos more than Modric but that doesn't mean I say Modric is bad but in terms of skills Kroos has very good skills when in every match he can always provide the right opportunities and some of the great strikers who have played with Kroos will admit that if Kroos has the skill of giving the right ball passes and even Ronaldo recognizes Kroos talent.
so even though Modric joined Madrid much earlier and has won many titles, if given the choice, I would prefer Kroos who should stay.

however, Kroos decision was irreversible and chose to retire and now if Modric had to stay longer with Madrid, perhaps he would be the last remaining legendary player that Madrid has.
UCL match will be the last match for Kroos and all Madrid players will work hard to give the most beautiful gift before Kroos leaves Madrid.

The financial strength possessed by Manchester City certainly makes it easier for Guardiola to strengthen his squad every season, some star players certainly do not escape their targets in order to fulfill their ambitions to win the championship trophy every season, the number of players they have brought in is of course countless more the amount of money they have spent so far and that is why currently Manchester City is included in the team that is suspected of fouls Quite a lot of finances, because indeed they do not care how expensive the price of the player is because the important thing they can get, the trophy that Manchester City has continued to get is certainly proof of how Guardiola is able to unite every star player that exists.
Pep Guadiola is a manger that will only manage teams that hae the ability to spend money because if team is not willing to spend money, Pep will never feel comfortable with his job because he is not used to coaching of average players just as other coaches are doing that is why some people are still respecting many coaches that can survive in a team that have limited number of world class players; we have seen how Pep ended while coaching Bayern as the team fail to give him enough money to sign more players.
almost most coaches have the same wishes as you say, but the only difference is that Guardiola can truly appreciate and realize dreams for the team which gives him the freedom to spend large amounts of money to recruit high quality players.
last season and this season are proof that Guardiola is always successful in providing new history that makes all Man City and also the fans of this team proud.
not many can become coaches like Guardiola who have the opportunity to bring in players according to his wishes but can also pursue his goals and another example is Tuchel who has succeeded in bringing in Kane from Spurs but failed in all competitions.

The way Leverkusen expected the match was not how it was for them from the starting till the end, and this was why Leverkusen easily lost focus after Lookman scored the first goal. Leverkusen is used to absorbing pressure even when you are winning them. They will come back in the second half and draw the match or win it.

It was different in the case of Atalanta, because they were playing with pressure and Atalanta didn't give them any opportunity to penetrate their defense making it more frustrating for them. Maybe it is because it was a final match and the players lack the experience of playing in the finals.
one thing that I will always remember is that Leverkusen was not ready to compete in the final round at that time.
I mean, usually Leverkusen in every match from the preliminary round to the semi finals, Leverkusen appearance looks very confident in providing quite good resistance but when they have difficulty attacking, Xabi will definitely provide a defensive strategy to end the match in a draw.
but in yesterday's match, it was clear that Leverkusen did not have the option to defend or attack and looking at the mentality of the Leverkusen players they looked nervous and not confident which made all the Leverkusen players frustrated.
not only that, after conceding the first goal, Leverkusen tried to put up resistance but ended in failure again when the Leverkusen players lacked focus when in front of Atalanta goal.

after that, Leverkusen became more and more deadlocked, tried to attack but the defense became weak, but tried to defend, but Atalanta attacks became bigger.
some people say Leverkusen has very good ball control but for me if someone saw the live match at that time they would definitely say that Atalanta had more possession of the ball and gave them the opportunity to score 3 scores.

There's a news PSG chief refused to pay Mbappe's salary and bonus https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13470697/Kylian-Mbappe-not-paid-salary-April-owed-bonus-February-PSG-exit-turns-sour-ahead-expected-free-transfer-Real-Madrid-summer.html

I would say Mbappe 100% will definitely join Real Madrid, if not Al-Khelaifi wouldn't need to hold Mbappe's salary and bonus since they're very royal with Mbappe. Too bad Mbappe need to face this kind issue, he should learn if PSG isn't his home since PSG treat him good only when he play for PSG.
this is very unreasonable news and the efforts made by PSG are like dramas that have happened before and this effort is like forcing Mbappe to stay at PSG.
I just think, the PSG owner's treatment is so cruel in restraining Mbappe or as if forbidding Mbappe from expanding his career to join another team and this will be an effort that will be known by other star players who will always reject every offer from PSG.
like the case of Osimhen who rejected PSG offer, it is likely that Osimhen is thinking long term about what his career would be like if he had the same fate as Mbappe.

If perhaps it was just coercion or PSG attempt to force Mbappe to stay at PSG, Mbappe should still leave PSG and of course the PSG owner will have a big problem regarding the salary and bonuses that have not been given to the player.
but if Mbappe chooses to stay because of the threat of salaries and bonuses that have not been given, I think Mbappe himself has unstable thoughts.
that's just my speculation, but I'm sure that in the future Mbappe will still join and have a better career with Madrid.

Mauricio Pochettino did not deserve to be sacked for many reasons.
It's what it's.

I hope Chelsea will back become mediocre team like before managed by Pochettino, so Chelsea will realize if what they did is a big mistake. And the same time I also hope Pochettino will find a team that better than Chelsea.
Chelsea have appointed and made an agreement with Enzo Maresca. The signing of the contract will take place soon. The contract will last until 2029. One of the considerations why Chelsea chose Enzo Maresca as Pochettino's replacement was because Enzo Maresca had succeeded in promoting Leicester City back to the Premier League, after previously they had to be relegated and entered relegation. However, there is a lot of debate about whether Enzo Maresca is really able to bring Chelsea much better than Pochettino before or not. remember, it is considered that Enzo Maresca's experience is still not enough to make Chelsea better. However, that did not make Chelsea change direction, and continued to take Enzo Maresca as Chelsea's new coach until 2029.
there is no need to doubt whether Enzo Maresca can make changes in the next season to bring Chelsea back to its glory days because of the management's confidence and also the fans see the history of Enzo Maresca who has experience when he was an assistant coach at Man City.
we probably won't know what Enzo Maresca will do, but we have to believe that Chelsea has good finances and can give Enzo the freedom to bring in the players he wants as long as they can really make a good contribution in the upcoming matches.

regarding Pochettino disappointment who has succeeded in bringing Chelsea to a good achievement to finish in the best position, but I'm sure he will be more accepting of the policies given by Chelsea management and I think Pochettino can still look for another team that can appreciate his hard work more and maybe I guess he will still stay with the EPL team but doesn't know which team will choose Pochettino as their new coach.

Everyone lost hope in Florentina when they lost in the Europa conference finals. It was very painful for them, but at the moment they are not having that good a performance against Atalanta. The reason I said that is because many thought that Florentina would get a trophy when they made it to the finals. But as such, the incidents of losing 1-0 in the finals were so disappointing, although they played a nice game. That fact must be accepted because Atalanta has more hope of winning this game. That is just a fact, and everyone will also accept that.

Furthermore, I will say Atalanta is already waiting for them, and if we can recall back, Atalanta's last two games ended at 3-0, I can possibly say that Florentina should also wait for their 3-0 results after the game, because maybe that is how Atalanta will like to finish this season with 3-0. Grin
yesterday I reminded several people here that Atalanta luck cannot always be achieved by other teams and in fact Fiorentina failed to win the title against Olympiakos and with just 1 score the Serie A representative team had to lose in the European Conference League.
and this could also happen in the next match when Atalanta vs Fiorentina, which might be a surprise when Atalanta is defeated by Fiorentina.
now these two teams have no goal except to finish the final match of the season without any results and on the one hand, even though Atalanta loses or only ends in a draw, they still get a UCL ticket.

I prefer to avoid betting on final matches like this because there are so many surprises that are difficult to predict unless luck is on the bettor's side.
but if you really want to take a risk with a small bet, it would be better to choose Atalanta to win because this team may still have hopes of overthrowing Juventus.
571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 30, 2024, 01:45:50 PM
This is the final match, both teams will of course play very carefully at the start of the match to avoid mistakes and if one team is able to take advantage or get a goal in the early minutes of the match it will of course change everything.
Whatever happens in the future, I am sure that this final match will be quite fierce and Dortmund, who are not the favorites, will definitely have greater motivation to cause a surprise like what happened in the Europa League.
European league is very different from the UCL and when Madrid has reached the final round, it is a sign of threat to opponents because Madrid very rarely loses in the final round and Madrid experience can provide a strong impetus to beat Dortmund.
and regarding the two teams scoring early or in the early minutes will not provide any guarantees and if you remember or saw Madrid match against Bayern Munich in the semi final second leg, Munich scored early but look at how Madrid responded with 2 scores making Madrid qualify for the final round.
you can also look back at Bayern Munich match against Madrid in the semi final first leg when Madrid scored early but in fact the match ended in a draw.

Indeed, the previous match cannot be a benchmark for the final match later, but everyone knows that Bayern Munich is stronger than Dortmund and in fact Madrid can still beat Bayern Munich and maybe this will end the same when Dortmund will be defeated by Madrid.
betting options on BTTS is a convenient choice and it will be even more challenging if you use a bet builder to combine several options on one match to get higher odds.
572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 30, 2024, 01:16:51 PM
After Vincent Kompany officially being an new manager of Bayern Munich i think he should be able to convince Leroy Sane to stay and extended his contract because with Bayern Munich Sane is still consistent and this season his statistics is quite impressive because in all competitions he was played 42 matches with scores 10 goals and create 13 assists so he is important player for Bayern Munich but the future of this player is still uncertain besides that Sane also was targetting to the several big clubs and his contract will be expired on summer 2025 so Kompany must be able to convince Sane to stay in this team

Besides Leroy Sane who performing well with Bayern Munich we all know they have Harry Kane and he is Bayer Munich top scorer in Bundesliga with 36 goals and these records too making him awarded Europa Golden Boot of this season and i think this is good start for Harry Kane and next season i am curious whether Harry Kane can play consistently with Bayer Munich under Kompany or not but with this award he was very confident can make Bayern Munich to dominated Bundesliga again
I'm not sure whether Vincent Kompany can keep Sane next season when his contract expires and this doubt is only because I think about the results that Bayern Munich will get in the summer.
If Munich can get good improvements and dominate the Bundesliga again or maybe win titles in several competitions, Sane will definitely stay in Munich and start signing a new contract.
I admit that Sane has many advantages that Bayern Munich really needs, but we don't know what will happen to the new coach and sometimes there are some players who usually don't like the new coach and decide to leave Munich.

Kane is an important player at the moment but he needs the contribution of Sane who can always make the right pass to Kane and score.
I can't imagine what it would be like if Sane had to decide to leave Munich and there would definitely be a decline in performance in Munich when they lost several very reliable players like Sane.
573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 30, 2024, 12:58:08 PM
At the moment, Real Madrid can still become La Liga champions (and maybe also Champions League champions) even without a contribution from Mbappe. But I think what Real Madrid sees is the bigger picture because signing Mbappe is a promising long-term investment. Mbappe is a young player with all the potential and still has a long career ahead. So that if he can shine at Real Madrid, besides he can grant a meaningful contribution to Real Madrid, his market value will also be high, and that is a good business plan for Real Madrid.
even though there is no guarantee whether Mbappe will become a more talented player or maybe there will be some problems, we all believe that Mbappe can become a new generation of Ronaldo story who became a very high quality player after making a very good contribution to Madrid.
and on the one hand, without Mbappe, maybe Madrid will still be a big team and be able to win titles in La Liga and in the UCL because they still have Vinic and Bellingham, but when Mbappe comes to join Madrid, the performance of the attack line becomes stronger and will be greatly feared by other teams.

Mbappe arrival is not only to benefit Madrid or Mbappe, but both parties will gain big profits when Madrid has achievements from the title they have won and Mbappe gets an increase in achievements and also the market price increases which affects Mbappe salary in the future.
It's time for Mbappe to spread his wings to fly high with Madrid to achieve the dream that Mbappe has always wanted to get the UCL title.

That's the only way for mbappe to be the same as ronaldo. Ronaldo was getting even bigger after he joined real madrid as a new player. He has been also winning so many UCL trophies with real madrid. It's fuckin right for mbappe to join in the real madrid and snubs offer from other club.
Glad to see that romano has been also giving positive update regarding the future of mbappe. It suggests that if real madrid will be announcing him as a new player as soon as possible. Im very glad to see that mbappe is now getting what he wanted. Finally, mbappe is going to the right team after he was playing for the bad team.
Mbappe has long risked his career for money when he was with PSG and now it is time for him to think about the future of his career to gain great achievements as a star player to increase his talent and the popularity of his talent to catch up with the previous generation experienced by Ronaldo.
Madrid is one of the biggest teams in history that has won the most titles in the UCL and this is what can give Mbappe the opportunity to immediately improve his career and get the latest record with Madrid to achieve prestigious achievements and titles like Ronaldo.

and now Mbappe doesn't need to think much because he is separated from PSG which can make his career bigger and on the one hand Mbappe doesn't need to worry when he joins Madrid he will definitely get very big results because most of Madrid players are very experienced and also very happy to new players like the arrival of Bellingham who now gets support from other players and produces the best scores.
this will be a good season for Mbappe. In the next season, he will definitely be a player who is truly on par with Ronaldo.

Xavi reputation during his time as Barcelona manager was said to be very good, his dismissal was truly a shame, where Barcelona situation in the future may not be better because the club is still facing a financial crisis. Hansi Flick has now been appointed as Xavi successor next season, he has been warned that Barcelona has a complicated situation, space to move will be limited because the club cannot fulfill all his wishes.
one of the things we have to believe is that Barcelona is a popular team and is part of the biggest team in La Liga, even though its financial situation is bad, Barcelona is still a popular team that always makes wise decisions for the future of its team.
perhaps many people were disappointed with the results of Xavi dismissal, who was replaced by Hansi Flick and most of the people who were disappointed would say that the news was bad for Barcelona future under Hansi Flick.
meanwhile, most people have not looked deeper into how Hansi Flick, who has been recognized as the best German team coach, was even recognized as the coach of Bayern Munich in the past, winning several titles including the UCL title.

it is impossible for Barcelona as a popular team which currently has financial weaknesses to make a bad decision and I am sure that even though Hansi Flick space for movement will be limited because Barcelona finances are bad, he will give the best for Barcelona with his very good experience, Hansi Flick most likely able to bring Barcelona to better achievements in several competitions.
let's give it a chance and see the results after officially becoming Barcelona coach and I'm sure there will be good improvements for Barcelona.

Does anyone realize that the Atalanta vs Fiorentina match could actually be a match between champion vs champion?
because if today Fiorentina manages to win the final match against Olympiakos in the European Conference League then that will make Fiorentina champions in the European Conference League. And we know that this season Atalanta has succeeded in becoming champions in the European League. So the final match between Atalanta vs Fiorentina will be a very interesting match. because it will bring together Atalanta, the European League champion, with Fiorentina, who also has the potential to become champion in the European Conference League. I hope that today Fiorentina wins the European Conference League final. because that will make their match against Atalanta much more noticed by everyone. because it will be a match between two champions.  Grin
I have been aware of this since yesterday and it will indeed be a very interesting match between the two teams who have successfully won the championship title in their respective competitions and will compete in the final match of the season.
but to be honest, I don't mean to doubt Fiorentina, but even though Olympiakos is just a team that is not very well known, the fact is that it was able to eliminate a popular team from the EPL like Aston Villa and this means that Olympiakos has great ability to try to provide resistance to prevent Fiorentina from getting the European conference league title.
I was thinking whether this would be retaliation when the team from Serie A (Atalanta) gave a surprise in the European league but in the European conference league, Fiorentina would be given a surprise by Olympiakos.

however, I think again that in the history of football, teams from Serie A have always had a very strong appearance and performance and it has been known for a long time that big teams from Serie A can always look very admired and it is not surprising that Atalanta can get a surprise in the  Europe League and Fiorentina could be one of the Serie A teams that will provide another surprise.
but if the two teams are Atalanta vs Fiorentina, this is difficult to predict because both teams have achieved satisfactory results and also both teams no longer have any interests except that Atalanta still has the ambition to take Juventus position.

I watched the UEFA Europa League final game between Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen and in my own personal assessment of the game, I think the German club were too confident in that game ahd that cost them the ultimate prize.

-snip
I slightly disagree with your opinion because in my opinion it is quite the opposite.
IMO, it is not Xabi troops who look very confident, but Atalanta who have so much confidence that they can break down the Leverkusen defense and also reduce the mentality of the Leverkusen players.
If someone says Leverkusen looked good in the final match, I slightly disagree because actually Atalanta ball control is far superior with little movement but has fast attacks and Atalanta playing style is like a very experienced team and can always take the ball from Leverkusen.
you can see how when Leverkusen is in control of the ball, then the Atalanta players can easily read the movements of the Leverkusen players and the direction of the ball wherever Atalanta can easily guess and that's all because Leverkusen confidence has dropped greatly after conceding 1 score.

another piece of evidence regarding Leverkusen not having confidence was when Amine Adli and Florian Wirtz got a very good chance but couldn't score and while it was really a very good chance they should have scored some points.
If Leverkusen self confidence and mentality are very high, Florian Wirtz chances will definitely be 1 score and Leverkusen will be able to provide resistance.
but the facts are very bad, right? conceded 3 scores without reply and confidence means nothing for Leverkusen.

If Manchester United look to occupy a good position for next season, they must bring in stars to their squad. Ten Hague must do better if they want to move forward with Manchester United. Manchester United has been very exciting in the beginning of this season, but gradually their performances have deteriorated due to which they are currently in a very bad position this season. However, Manchester United has been excluded from the Champions League due to poor performance this season. So I also think that for the next season they need to take better steps and bring in good players to take the team forward. If they can bring good players in their team next season then surely the team will be able to go ahead again, only then they will be able to attack strongly in the next season.
after observing several cases in more depth, the reason why Man United retained Ten Hag was because this season, Ten Hag lost several players who had long injuries and on the one hand, the new players who were brought in at the start of last season were unable to give maximum performances and make the team's performance visible weak.
what you say is true and I also imagine that maybe Ten Hag would not have gotten this bad if he could bring in more quality players in every line and of course the most important thing is that Man United's defense line this season is really very weak.
while Man United attack line is actually quite good, it's just that the weak defense line makes the results this team get look very bad.

compared to last season we can see a big difference in Man United defense and these are all problems this season which should be corrected immediately to get better results in the next season.
Man United management is giving Ten Hag another chance to fix everything but I am sure Ten Hag will make major changes to every line and I am even more sure that more players will be replaced in the defense line.

I think this has become a trend in the EPL where most top teams prefer less well-known coaches. But in terms of achievement, it is quite better than not getting the coach you are aiming for. I think Chelsea could surprise this season alongside Liverpool with their new coach and sometimes things we don't know can be special for a competition.

I think Enzo Maresca is not only similar to Pep Guardiola but also to Erik ten Hag and Arne Slot. This similarity is based on all of the coaches being bald. Maybe Mikel Arteta should follow the bald hair trend if necessary so that it is difficult for us to differentiate between all these coaches. Grin
bald trainers bring good luck, Lol
regarding Chelsea who have been trying to get Enzo Maresca as Chelsea coach, maybe there is some truth in what you said if previously Enzo Maresca was Man City assistant coach and perhaps Chelsea hope is that Enzo Maresca can have a big influence because of course as an assistant coach he certainly knows deadly strategies which can provide benefits for the team.
at this point I just realized that Chelsea fired Pochettino because they had a very clear goal of bringing in the coach in the hope of getting better luck in the following season.

Real Madrid needs to be wary of Dortmund because we have seen two finals in other competitions end beyond most people's predictions. It is possible that a trend like this will be repeated by Dortmund because now they are much more motivated to make new history for the club. If you look at it in terms of quality, experience and readiness, Real Madrid will be quite the favorite, but anything can happen if Real Madrid considers this match easy.

Manchester United and Atalanta are motivation for Dortmund because even though they are inferior in quality to their opponents, they managed to surprise them. Ancelotti has to be quite wary of this because when Dortmund play at their best level, like when they beat PSG, it will be much more difficult to beat them.

What are you talking about, what kind of analytics is this, do you want to say that finals from different tournaments that are in no way connected with each other can somehow affect the final of the Champions League? )) Firstly, Atalanta is not a weak team, and Bayer was lucky in the playoffs and they did not play against strong teams, and Bayer had a good season, but they were simply lucky more than once. Real is a completely different team, which relies only on itself, has excellent defense and attack, and they got to the final for a reason. Dortmund's chances are really small, and the victory of Atalanta and Manchester United does not play any role here.
maybe what @ancafe said is one of the concerns as a bettor who might be a little worried if a surprise occurs in this UCL match and I understand the fear experienced @ancafe.
but believe me, I fully support @Cryptmuster opinion which is very reasonable and easy to understand because in other competitions it is very different and will not affect the match in the UCL.
from my personal opinion, in simple terms, if Madrid makes it to the final round, that is a sign that Madrid has a guarantee of getting the UCL title and that has often happened in the past.
and in terms of squad depth, Madrid is superior and more qualified in terms of talent all Madrid players are very good and there is no need to doubt it.

If you compare the cases between the UCL, UEL and FA Cup, this is actually unfair because each competition has its own goals and the UCL is the highest competition that all teams really want and the experience in the final is also very influential.
most people may not really understand how Atalanta is actually more experienced and stronger in performance than Leverkusen, but most people will say Leverkusen will win because of the positive trend, while they ignore the depth of Atalanta performance.
and in the case of the FA Cup match, we all know who Man City is and what their relationship is with Man United even though it is a rival team, but if Man City manages to beat MU, of course Man United will not be able to get a ticket to any competition and Man City is their neighbor MU tries to give MU the opportunity to win the FA Cup and get UEL tickets.

so, that's why sometimes we have to look deeper before feeling excessive fear because every case has a purpose that may not be easy to understand.
but what is certain is that whatever happens, I am willing to bet that Madrid will win the UCL title.
