Xavi has been a good manager at the Spanish side, even though they've had some shaky situations, they've just found a way to cover up lapses and make necessary coverings to the loopholes. It's very much good that they were able to put in good effort regardless of what they lacked to good team building. Nonetheless, Xavi would have still done better than he's already done.

 Well, his days with the team were technically numbered and he's got some commendations which he definitely deserves. I don't know what to say about his intended replacement but all I'll say is Barcelona as a team has work to be done and I'd love to see the new Barcelona in seasons and games to come. It'll be very much important that Barcelona management tried their best to get a good replacement for Xavi and finding the best option for them would be a bit difficult. There are prospect options for them but they've got to be very careful in their choices.

 Considering Emery as a choice, he's got an improved record with Villa and normally, Villa and Barcelona's level can't be compared so it's safe to say that it'd be a bit different to manage Barcelona based on their range of players and level in football. Barcelona isn't a team to be taken as an experiment. They won't be able to bear loosing their value and pride just because of them trying to make use of a manager who's not really had very much experience in a big team. Although, EPL is competitive than the La Liga, so maybe there can be a little match in strategy.

At the age of 19, Mbappe won the World Cup with France thereby earning the title, the best young player at the start of his career, this evidently making him a brilliant and incredible player compared to the likes of Rodyrgo and Vinicius. Later on, he joined PSG and although he eventually left to pursue greater heights, while with the team, they won many Ligue 1 titles and the French Cup.
 
 Sadly PSG weren't able to stay put till the final in the UCL contest due to the fact that Dortmund successfully rose above them in the last semi finals clash. It's really not a good thing for the French side especially for the young star who's chasing good number of titles too. Well it's good that he's garnered enough experience, hopefully Real Madrid will give him much more exposure too when they sign him at summer.

 As of now, Real Madrid have won several titles and Mbappe joining the team would increase their chance of winning the UCL and much more titles. The Spanish side is filled with young, vibrant players eager to go for and secure trophies with a good managerial support too. This is actually an atmosphere that'll be conducive enough to receive and accommodate the French star. Mbappe knows that with Madrid, he's set out to do even better than he's already done. There's still a more to come from him. He just needs to be in the right team and squad at the right time.

Regardless of the loopholes Osimhen faced for a few weeks with Napoli, he still found so much belief in them and he'sore or less the fans' favorite too. So the news of his contract extension was definitely soothing to the team and fans too. Now it's certain that they'd keep seeing and benefiting from his unique style of football. He's being a key man at the Italian side and it was although very much unlikely for them to let him slip off their arm. He's just got more impacts to make.

 Napoli themselves have seen the quality of player he is and they really don't want to let him go. It's his decision no doubt, but maybe he's just got to get experiences in a different club environment. Even though, he still has an achievement to deliver onto the team too. Since Osimhen joined Napoli, he's been their key player and he's been doing his striking job perfectly without errors, even in times of emotional derailment from fans and the coach, he's still being able to keep his mind focused.

 He is in no wise the best thing that's happened to Napoli. He's the best addition to the team. Although Chelsea are having eyes on him but it's likely that Napoli won't let him slip without a very good replacement for him. His exit will place a threat to the teams performance subsequently and they may likely go back drastically.

Bayern Leverkusen got themselves in the history books as they have been able to win their first ever Bundesliga title. The win over Werder Bremen was enough to hell them seal up their place in first place and get them the trophy. Their run to this win of the title has been one that’s been quite fascinating especially as they haven’t recorded any loss in their way up till this moment and also none across all competitions. This performance is real top notch and as such you can imagine how much efforts the boys and Xabi Alonso have put in to the success of this.

 Alonso has very much been impressive in his performances for Leverkusen. He's been watched and observed and in all his games, he's proven to present an outstanding and formidable team. He's just new in the business but yet still has set up a formidable team. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities. He's proven to be worthy to handle well any team presented to him and definitely I believe he can do well if another team is put in his care. Maybe his strategies work well for him and can still work well with another team. With Leverkusen, he's done well and he's working towards an aim for the club. He's been watched closely to see how well he'd be able to keep up with the games for the team and see how well he can uphold against their biggest threat in the Bundesliga.

 He's just been able to prove himself worthy to take on a higher ranked club. His good at what he's done so far even with a less productive squad as Leverkusen, now one would imagine how enormous he'd achieve with a productive squad with higher player capacity and quality. He's another one amongst many players turn coach that did well both in the pitch and in the manager's box too. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities.

You know every team have this player that means a whole lot to the team and even when the players are aging they think so deep and make sure there’s a very good replacement before letting go of those players. For Liverpool there’s Mo Salah and for Man City, there’s KDB, these players have proven over the years to be huge assets for their different clubs and you can’t imagine the club losing them now. ⁠You can see how Klopp was able to effectively manage Salah and get him to the club’s top level and to the point he now is a key a factor in the team.

 At this point if Liverpool plays, the defenders of the opposing team are always scared when its Mo Salah with the ball because they’re scared of what he can do whilst he is on the ball. Mo Salah can also be seen as the biggest contribution for the club’s UCL trophy and EPL trophy too as he has the stats to speak for him. ⁠Now Klopp is out, I hope the mew manager will be able to continue with this pattern and maybe try to retain Salah as he can help in high pressure game especially with his pace.

 The new manager tactics is now a cause of worry for the fans because they hope he still keeps u with some kind of Klopp ball rather than changing the whole style entirely. ⁠Of course, you can already imagine how the club will struggle with a new management but I think those can be mitigated and of the way is to keep players like Salah, TAA, VVD still in the squad as these players can adapt and deliver the tean when called upon and if this is done, I think Liverpool will still be at that to level we know.

 Of course, you can’t expect the final between Real Madrid and Dortmund not to be one thrilling encounter especially as the two teams have been able to show huge characteristics till they got to this stage. For Real Madrid of course, their huge experience and very consistent performance makes them one of the competition’s favorites to lift the trophy this weekend. Yes of a truth, Dortmund has been really great this season but you can’t say same for the string team that was always challenging Bayern some years ago that even got to the final against Bayern Mumich in the UCL in 2013.

 This season they have been great especially in the UCL as you can see the number of opponents they have been able to knockout and that can only be possible with enough resilience and show of strength. ⁠For this match, of course both teams have different tactics to how they approach a game as Real Madrid stands out based on tactics because of the players who take instruction from a tactical manager like Ancelotti.

 With these you can begin to imagine Dortmund’s stand in this upcoming fixture as. They have little or nothing to play for. ⁠Yes of no doubt Dortmund have shown resilience in this year’s UCL but you can’t be sure that will still happen in the final because this is Real Madrid who are European giants. Not overlooking Dortmund at all, I’ll still be very sure of Real Madrid winning the 15th UCL trophy.

I think when evaluating ETH time at Man United, it will be very safe to check both last seasons and check all what he has achieved for the club, how he approaches games and the players available. You will see that he approaches game and get the wins you think they don’t stand a chance to get and the FA Cup win is one major reality of this factor. ⁠I understand where the pains of most fans are because of them not being able to make it at least to the top 4 even with the set of players they have and they believe ETH hasn’t done enough yet.

 Well when compared to Jose Mourinho Man United squad, I think ETH has a better squad but jose Mourinho had a better impact than ETH man United squad. ⁠Well as reported the board will be taking a decision on his stand if to keep him or axe him. Whatever decison they take I think they will have a lot of factors to consider and they have to do that duly so as not to throw the club into more gutters than it already is at this time.

 Sacking Ten Haag might not be a bad idea but the board shouldn’t forget that there’s a need for stability as that will help this team be able to keep challenging for more trophies. Well they can preach that to the new manager if they eventually decide to let Eth go.

During Kylian time at PSG, he was able to reach some milestones and achieve some things that till date still ring a loud bell in the world of football. When you look at these achievements of him, you will under well why psg pAid him real huge and are trying to still keep him to their club. Now you can begin to think if he will he able to maintain such level when he moves to Real Madrid.

 ⁠It is safe to say Mbappe has now written down his name in gold in the good history books of PSG as a club as he now bags the highest goal scorer for the club as a whole. It doesn’t just end there but he has also been able to win trophies for the club and I think the fans won’t forget this or take it for granted. Though he hasn’t still been able to win the UCL which I think is one major drive for his move to Real Madrid.

 ⁠Of course him at Real Madrid will be the start of a new phase for him especially as the players there are also great and you can already imagine how much of competition will be on in the team already. He will now be playing for the La Liga and also challenging for the UCL and you can already be sure that his talent and skill will be able to help him scale through this hurdle.
Winning trophies as a team is one things that is imminent whilst at Real Madrid but when you look at Kylian having the individual awards will require him having more consistent performance. Him emulating the performance at PSG and keeping at very high level will of course be able to get him to win the Balon D’ or.

Alonso's tenure at Leverkusen has indeed been commendable, despite their disappointment in the Europa League final against Atalanta. His influence has put Leverkusen back on the right track, showcasing his skills at managing a team with promise and potential. By grooming a competitive spirit in the squad, Alonso has demonstrated his ability to guide a team towards success, even in the face of formidable opponents. His coaching style has also opened minds to alternative approaches, proving that young coaches can thrive in high-pressure environments.

 Looking ahead to the Champions League next season, Alonso faces the challenge of maintaining Leverkusen's performance and squad quality. With the increased level of competition in Europe's premier club tournament, Leverkusen must step up their game to compete against the continent's top teams. Alonso's tactical nature will be tested as he pulls through the toughness of the Champions League, where each match will be a definite challenge. Leverkusen's success in the tournament will depend on their ability to adapt and excel under Alonso's guidance.

 However, Alonso's task is made even tougher by the quest of bigger clubs for Leverkusen's key players. Retaining top talent will be crucial for Leverkusen's aspirations in the Champions League and maintaining their competitiveness domestically. The departure of key players could disrupt Leverkusen's progress and make it challenging for Alonso to replicate their successes from the previous season. As the Europa League has ended and attention turns towards the upcoming campaign, Leverkusen and Alonso must scale through the hurdles of squad management and competition to continue their upward stride in European football.

This season is one season Barcelona fans wants to forget in a hurry as this season have been one of their down seasons coupled with the financial issues of the club.  Club’s finances is always a big worry especially as it’s not going to help the club be able to get the proper signings they need. This is one challenge the club has faced this season and as such have had to manage with the injured players and the available players.

 Managing with both sets of players seems to be real tough and this can be troublesome especially for the coach. And i feel because of the trouble and all Xavi decided to depart the club at the end of the season. The win against Mallorca was a boost for them especially as they were headed into the UCL game against Napoli but they just weren't able to scale through up to this moment. You can see how they’ve managed to fight all hard with their injury crisis.

 Xavi has been a good manager at the Spanish side, even though they've had some shaky situations, they've just found a way to cover up lapses and make necessary coverings to the loopholes. It's very much good that they were able to put in good effort regardless of what they lacked to good team building. Nonetheless, Xavi would have still done better than he's already done.
 
 Well, his days with the team are technically numbered and he's got some commendations which he definitely deserves. I don't know what to say about his intended replacement but all I'll say is Barcelona as a team has work to be done and I'd love to see the new Barcelona in seasons and games to come. It's just too late for Barcelona to draw back up to the right track.

Unai Emery's impact on Aston Villa has been transforming since his arrival. With an eye for good talent, he went to the team's depth and put in a winning mentality that increased their performance to new heights. Even non-stable players, Aston Villa emerged as genuine contenders, showcasing their resilience and determination under Emery's guidance. While their position slightly deviated midway through the season, the progress made under his leadership is undeniable.

 Retaining Emery until 2029 is a strategic move by Aston Villa. It signifies their commitment to long-term success and stability, recognizing the key role Emery plays in their growth. By extending his contract, Aston Villa ensures continuity in their managerial leadership, giving the players a familiar and effective framework to excel with. Moreover, the salary increase also demonstrates their appreciation for Emery's achievements and is a motivation for him to continue delivering good results for the club.

 For Aston Villa, retaining Unai Emery is essential for sustaining their momentum and aspirations for Champions League football. His tenure has charged up the club, establishing their presence among Europe's elite. With Emery as the manager, Aston Villa can look forward to building upon their recent successes and maintaining their position as a formidable force in the Premier League and beyond.

Salernitana has been in the serie A for over 3 seasons and it hasn’t been a bed of roses for them as they have struggled to keep being in the serie A for the 3 seasons. This season being the 3rd is not looking any better as they’re so dipped into the relegation zone of this season. Their performance hasn’t been top notched and you feel probably they can get saved rather their performance is worse match after match and you already know they don’t stand a chance.

 Their performance is an indication that they will sure be taken back to Serie B where they came from. I also think that when teams gets to top flight for them to still remain they need serious investments in order to still be at top flight level. With the current players they have you can’t see them being able to match any of their final opponents like Juventus, Atalanata at all because these teams are top teams that are in a chase too.

 They have made efforts but I think their efforts ain’t complementing the results gotten so it’s a big disappointment for the fans that the club will be relegated. Now I think clubs should take a cue and try to invest more when they get to top flight leagues.

Next season, the Bundesliga will welcome two new teams from the Bundesliga 2, St. Pauli and Holstein Kiel. St. Pauli will return to the top flight after a 13-year absence. Their fans definitely will be eager and anticipating their comeback, hoping that the team can establish themselves and avoid a quick relegation. For Holstein Kiel, their promotion is historic, marking their first-ever appearance in the Bundesliga. However, their main goal will be survival, which will require strengthening their squad to compete with the already established teams in the top league.

 The playoff stage saw Bochum, who finished 16th in the Bundesliga, face off against Fortuna Düsseldorf. The first leg took place at Bochum's home ground, giving them an opportunity to the host advantage. Also, it was not an easy task, as Fortuna Düsseldorf did their best to be very impressive in the Bundesliga 2 and this play off game this season. Bochum needed to be extra cautious of Fortuna's top scorer, Christos Tzolis, who had been in top form, including a hat-trick in their recent victory over Magdeburg.

 Bochum's home advantage was not really important because they lost wholly in the first leg and they had in mind that they'll need to be at their best to outdo a strong and confident Düsseldorf side in the second leg. The outcome of this playoff will determine who earns a spot in the Bundesliga, making it a high-stakes encounter for both teams. In the second leg game, yes suffering a defeat ahead, they put their best to equalizing and even winning the game on penalties. The result of the encounter clearly proves the class and level difference of both teams.

We are having the UECL final later this week and when you look at how Fiorentina has been able to run through and get to this stage you will understand how great they have been in this competition. Match in and out they haven’t dished out less performance as they keep dishing out top performances and you can give credits to how the Serie A shas shaped to one competitive league as that can be seen as one of the main cause of their great performance.

 As both team gear up for the final, you can imagine how prepared these teams will be for this final as they know how winning this title could be for them. To have your name arched in an European trophy is really one great achievement, though the competition’s prestige can’t he likened to the UCL but at least it is an European trophy. ⁠Of course I’m favoring Fiorentina against Olympiacos because of the rigorous training the Serie A has subjected them to and as such, you can expect a great performance from them.

 You can already imagine how top notch their tactics heading to this game will be as it will be one of a kind and sincerely I would want to see them win the title. Olympiacos are a great side as they remain a string force in the Greek League but you can’t compare the competition there to that of the Serie A. The Serie A competition will help Fiorentina be able to get into the game quickly and hit hard on Olympiacos and as such get the victory at the end of the finals whistle.

I think bookmakers giving less odd to Real Madrid is sure because they have considered some certain criterias such as squad depth, experience and the rest and used to access and dish out their odds. Though football now can be unpredictable but you’re to understand that gambling is a game and for it to be interesting, some odds needs to be lesser and some real great. ⁠Of course the odds from the bookmakers are from certain criterias like I mentioned above and that is really understandable.

 Now for those that will want to llay the gamble on the game, they ought to understand that most times those criterias aren’t what plays out in the match as we can see the underdog getting the victory. Yes Real Madrid are meeting all criterias but it is wrong to overlook Dortmund’s chance of reaching this stage as they can be one very troublesome team like how they have been that got them to this stage of the competition. Well one big difference is in the squad depth and the strength of the squad, also the tactical approach to games is quite different from both teams.
 
 ⁠I can’t wait for the final as it will be a match of great show of skills and strength and yes Real Madrid are better favorites for this competition. Ancelotti should be careful how he approaches the game so as not to make any wrong choice of player selection as that could mar his chances.

Chelsea have been really poor this season as you can see how much they have changed managed in 2 years of Todd’s takeover. In the space of 2 years they have had over 4 different managers taking over the club and you can imagine 4 different captains with different patterns and philosophies, you can imagine how that will affect the club’s performance. ⁠Poch who was just recently sacked to an extent was able to at least handle this team a bit, though he started poorly which I felt had ripple effect on the final position at the end of the season.

 The club wasn’t able to make Ucl or Europa League football and I think this is bad for a club like Chelsea but at least improvements were seen in Poch’s era at the club. ⁠I also feel the owners should try and have a sense of patience and understand they have a young squad. The new coach should be given the wheels for at least 2 seasons and then judged after that because sincerely I don’t see any reason for Poch been sacked from the club.

 Well I think they need to restrategize and have a new approach in the club once the new owner is confirmed. And they should also try to watch out on their signings as the squad is now becoming overpacked with talents that needs effective management. These carried out will help build the club and bring it back on the radar of Europe’s top clubs once more.

Of course it’s no longer news that Man United has win the FA Cup which is 2 titles for Man United in his 2 seasons and you can boast of that. Well I think the fans aren’t ready to stay less ok that because of how big the club is and how much more they want from the club. ⁠At this point, I think there will be proper scrutiny of performance level of ETH for the past 2 seasons and decisions will be made as to whether to keep him or axe him.

 There are quite a number of fans who are wanting a managerial change despite him winning the FA Cup and it’s quite understandable. ⁠You can’t blame it on injury, because most of these players were brought in by you and of course you should have some idea on how to manage the injury crisis. Of course Ten Haag in no way has developed this team rather he has broken some shameless dirty records of the team such as heaviest defeat, season highest loss of 14, most goals conceded only to mention a few.

 ⁠Well it’s still all seen as sidetalks till we get a clear message from the management, then we understand the fate of the club. At this point I think them getting a great manager is what the club needs at this point in time. But like I said a clear message from the management would be necessary cause lots of fans are so eager to know the next manager or if Ten Hag would continue with his present job.

Finally the season has ended for Kylian and PSG and this season the club has won 3 titles in the French Competition bringing to an end a great time for Kylian Mbappe while playing for the French Club. One major reason he is departing is to go out and win individual accolades and also chase a UCL trophy. At PSG, they have always gone out to chase UCL trophies but all without success and it’s quite worrisome for the team. ⁠Him leaving PSG is the end of the first part of his career as his records of success hasn’t been matched yet, he still stays top in the French League.

 In a bid to pursue his career, I think he will be going out to chase a good time and one club that could offer him what he wants is Real Madrid, yes they’re going out to bid for him and I think that should be his next destination. Well I think even whilst he leave for Real Madrid there are still indications of if he will want to return to the club later in future maybe towards the end of his career. Yes there are celebrations already for his move to the Spanish side but we have to look at how he is departing.

 ⁠Though he isn’t leaving psg on the best note but I think that him being attached to the French club and the country as a whole could see him have a homecoming return later in future. Whilst he leaves for Real Madrid, I think he will now have more of the spotlight on him and as such should try to keep his performance at top level.

Lyon's performance in the Coupe de France final against PSG showcased their resilience to compete at the top level. Despite not clinching the title, they put up a commendable fight, managing to score against an opponent like PSG. This indicates progress for Lyon, demonstrating that they are on the path to recovery after a challenging start to the season. The close match and their ability to resist PSG's attacks points out Lyon's capacity to hold their own against strong adversaries, setting a promising tone for their future encounters.

 The decision to change coaches mid-season proved to be an important one for Lyon. It allowed them to revisit their tactics and approach, enabling them to compete more effectively against top teams. The improvement seen under the new coach gives the importance of timely intervention and strategic decision-making by Lyon's management. With the right leadership in place, Lyon can aim for greater success.

 Maintaining the lineup of players while making strategic changes to the squad is a careful approach for Lyon. This ensures continuity and stability within the team while addressing areas that need improvement. The balanced approach to squad management aligns with Lyon's goal of competitiveness at the highest level of football.

For United, they've had good records from the beginning of their existence till 2seasons ago when they started experiencing gradual decline. Their coach switches has an effect on the team, they found it hard to secure a good coach that complements and will impact the team positively. And this has been on and on till this season when the situation got critical and United is literally nowhere to be found in the top 4 spot and they keep going behind in their struggle each passing week.

 Ten Hag is obviously not good for them currently as the team keeps slacking back and they do not stop looking confused on the pitch. All his implemented tactics and strategies aren't okay off well for him and it's safe to say that as the head of the team, he's got the greater part of the blame to bear. United needs a switch and not just any switch but a more reasonable switch that'll understand their condition and think innovatively without sentiments with the goal of team building and growth and implement new methods to combat their opponents. I don't know what the board is waiting for to realize the big error Ten Hag is to the team. The entire team has been infected with his virus and they need to be quarantined and looked after to return back to their usual self again. Sadly it may take a while but we hope it's soon.

 So far, United haven't proven to be relevant this season. There's been important games that they themselves have thrown away because of how incompetent they're turned out to be at playing at the peak of their performances. Well, it's only sad that they experience this height of team leakage and breakage too. They just have to find a permanent solution to their issue. I must say that the issue is a general team predicament and they need to be set back to default mode. Inasmuch as they've gained the FA trophy and also won themselves a ticket to the UEL next season, it doesn't justify their lowly performance all through the season that needs improvement.
