After the incidents happened in the Partizan series I didn't want Real Madrid to become the champions. However they still managed to become the champions despite Sasha Vezenkov's 29-point performance.
To be honest, while we were into the last two minutes of the match I was thinking that Olympiacos would become the champions. However Llull's unbelievable shot brought the cup to Real Madrid. 🍊🍊🍊🍊
This win from Real Madrid hurts even more,because i knew how close my team Partizan was to winning against Real Madrid and if it wasnt for that dirty fight they probobly wouldnt be standing there. But still to win all of those matches after losing is just amazing. That mentality is big and congrats to them for winning the euroleague. |

A really suspicious Barcelona which does not look like they want to score goals,especially Lewandoski which had a clamorous occasion which he scores from that position 100% of the time and he didn't this time.
I don't think it is suspicious, we can understand if Barcelona didn't play seriously because they officially already won the La Liga. Lewandowski also leads the top scorer table with 4 goals, so it won't be a big problem although he fails to score in this match. Sure, every fan expects Barcelona to win and Lewandowski to score, but this match isn't easy because they are against Real Sociedad which tries to secure its position in UCL zone. Real Sociedad has a bigger motivation to win, that's why they can play surprisingly. *Update: Lewandowski scored 1 goal (minute 90') The match between Barcelona and Real Sociedad is definitely important for Villareal if they want to get the fourth place in the table because there is a high chance for Barcelona to win the game against Sociedad and give a chance to Villareal for the champions league ticket but right now Real Sociedad scored one goal and that's bad news for Villareal.
The match is almost over and Real Sociedad is leading with 1 goal. I think Real Sociedad will win the match, not enough time for Barcelona to score more goals. Current scores: Barcelona 1-2 Real Sociedad. I assume Real Sociedad will be safe in UCL zone (top 4). Real Sociedad won over Barcelona 1-2 and now they are o most for sure in the champions league next season. What a win over the champions of laliga. Barcelona didnt need anything and Real Sociedad took that and won a big match they just need three points more. |

Rune is the in-form player, but in cases like these I simply can't ignore their H2H's. I like Ruud at 2.40 odds, and I like 2:0 to Tsitsipas against Medvedev at 2.65 odds as well. I'll play both separately, so I need only one to pass. Hoping they both do, ofc  Ruud was a bit off this season so I hope Rune takes him. Need that result for our BSFL competition but not betting on it  Medvedev on the other hand is playing best clay season ever in his life and he actually looks ok. I watched a couple of his matches and he had really good consecutive points. Granted he still had some downs and too much unforced errors and I expect Tsitispas to capitalize on that. But I went for more secure ML @1.8, feel like both matches will be really close today. The first set was a really hard fought win by Ruud. He really worked hard to get the first set against Rune. But after that, Rune was the one who started performing really well. Rune won both the second and third sets. And he is now in the finals. The match between Medvedev and Tsitsipas has been suspended. Still not sure who will go through to the final. I do want to see Medvedev in the finals against Rune. Rune keeps on dominating and he is looking like a really good new superstar in tennis. I think he an Alcaraz will be the main thing in the next couple of years. Medvedev leading against Tsitspas,isnt expected but looks like Medvedev will get his first title on clay. If he can continue playing like this. |

In a few minutes kick off the match between AC Milan vs Sampdoria will begin immediately. There is no reason for AC milan not to achieve maximum results in this competition. They have lost their place in the Champions League after Inter Milan managed to beat them, and even in Serie A they also have little chance of competing in the Champions League next season, because now they are behind Lazio, who is in 4th place with 4 points.
Leao is back and already scores a goal on his comeback match. Giroud also scored two goals already. Milan with a good match so far and leading 3-1. With this win they will still have hopes to get that champions league spot. But it is still not in their hands other teams need to drop some points |

Then again, Arsenal are trailing their opponents, and now the time left is not long. It's a shame that they actually have to lose stability when the league is at the end of the season, so they have to give up their position to be taken over by Manchester City. Maybe this is the impact of their mentality that they are not ready to defend their position strongly. The fans must be very disappointed.
We can now officially say that Arsenal has lost the title and we are seeing same old champions. Man City with an amazing streak took the title and now it looks like it was easy. Arsenal had everything in their hands and just gave away the title to Man City. Big shame honestly. |

Bayern Munich have had a good rhythm in the last few weeks. They won their matches against Hertha Berlin, Werder Bremen and Schalke 04 and became the most assertive team in the championship race. And they conceded only 1 goal in these 3 matches. Last week they scored 6 goals against Schalke 04. We can say that they are fully concentrated on the league. Thomas Tuchel was a little criticized in his first weeks, but now he reassures everyone. On the other hand, Leipzig also won their last 3 matches. But Bayern Munich have been playing better football in recent weeks. In my opinion, the favorites of this match will be Bayern Munich.
Tuchel now needs to win the Bundesliga, after which he will have plenty of time in the off-season to prepare the team on his own, we will not consider another outcome for now. I see that from the first minutes of the match, he left Mane and Sane in reserve, and put Gnabry in the position of the central striker, a bit strange decision to leave strong forwards on the bench. So far in the 20th minute of the match, Leipzig has not been able to create anything, the game is controlled by Bayern, but without much success in attack. Bayern Munich wants to retain the top spot in the Bundesliga. And so Bayern Munich needs the full 3 points in today's match against Leipzig. Bayern Munich's performance today is pretty good. Even though they attack a lot, they keep the defense tight and they still go on the offensive. As a result, Leipzig players made several counter-attacks, but they could not score any goals. Bayern Munich's performance today is very composed. Even if they don't win today's match by a big margin, I predict that Bayern Munich will win today by a narrow margin. Good match so far and Leipzig just scored and now is 1-1. What a match so far between these two teams. Dortmund now enjoying this result and if it ended like this it would be amazing for them because Bayern would have a difficult away game against Koln in the last round. |

Liverpool failed to get three points because they were held to a draw by Aston Villa and with results like this, it looks like Liverpool's chance to finish in the top four is gone. The reason is, Liverpool only has one match remaining against Southampton, meanwhile Manchester United and Newcastle still have two matches remaining.
So yes, Manchester United and Newcastle only need 1 point to ensure a top four finish. It's a shame Liverpool failed to beat Aston Villa, even though this was Liverpool's home match but in reality, Liverpool also almost lost this match. So, next season Liverpool will only play in the Europa League and it doesn't look like that's a bad thing either, it's just that it's a shame Liverpool failed to get full points in an important match like this.
Big slip for Liverpool and i think we now know the first four positions and the last round wont be that intresting. I dont know if Man City wins the ucl if liverpool would get that extra position in the ucl because man city is already qualified next season . Man Utd now has an easy job of just getting one point |

I expect an interesting game between Spurs and Brentford... Both clubs are well motivated to pick up 3 points... Spurs are currently in the Conference League zone but Villa or Brentford could theoretically move them out... I expect goals from both teams in this game... Just like the Liverpool vs Villa game...
Tottenham is in a really bad form lately and dropping points every single match. I got them on my bet today to win because i think they can grab some important points here. Also this is the last chance for Brentford to try and get a position for europe so im expecting an open match. |

Both teams actually are out of gas. Murray was also exhausted and Jokic was breathing in his mouth. They hustled in the 2nd half with a goal to either steal a win from the Nuggets' home or make it a 2-0 lead and have an easy exit if they win both games in Los Angeles.
Damn, I was obsessed by what Murray did so I watched both live and then the replay afterwards. He is so good in the fourth quarter that even Lebron and Davis could not do anything about it.
What could Coach Darvin Ham do to win in their home? They may have the fans' support but what the Nuggets showed was phenomenal and probably Lakers fans will have doubts. They are only giving +4.5 for the Nuggets in Game 3.
I think Lakers got a bit unlucky as well, for two games in a row they get close enough to win with just one ball and then they end up losing that and just lose the game. I get that it is not going to be easy to win games and all, but I feel like they were too close so it must have felt terrible. If they lost clearly that would have been even worse considering they would lose hope, but this way they know that they are good enough to beat them. Let's see how it will be at Los Angeles, now Lakers will try to defend and get two out of two, it is going to be quite the challenge and I believe that if they can do that then they can win the series. But if Nuggets wins any of these series then we are going to end up with a bad result and Lakers will lose. The Lakers had Game 2 won. They just had to stop 1 player and couldn't. They led the whole game until the last 5 minutes and then Murray can't miss a 3. Play better defense??? Even if they had played better defense, they still missed a ton of shots down the stretch themselves. Anthony Davis needs more than 18 points a game as well. They started off the 1st half being super aggressive and driving to the hoop getting foul calls left and right. Why did they abandon that? Well Murray and Jokic played an amazing game and dominated again. This duo is so deadly that i see them going all the way. Lakers might get 1 or 2 wins but they will probobly lose this series against the Nuggets for sure. Jokic and Murray are just better then Davis and James |

If Arsenal had maintained the same level of performance they exhibited during the mid-season, they would have convincingly defeated Brighton. However, two factors influenced the outcome of that match. Firstly, Arsenal was determined to secure a victory against Brighton to gain an advantage in points ahead of Manchester City's upcoming match. Secondly, Brighton, was in 7th place, had aspirations of moving up to 6th place to secure a spot in the UEFA Conference League. They were highly motivated to remain relevant, which is why they put up a strong fight against Arsenal.
However, winning the league is not a guaranteed possibility for Arsenal, as they still have several challenging matches remaining even if they win brighton and it is unlikely that they will emerge victorious in all of them. Nevertheless, I am pleased that they will be competing in the Champions League next season.
What's the use for Arsenal to win the game against Brighton when Manchester City only need 3 points to lock in the Premier League title this season. Manchester City have 3 match which means they have 3 chances to grab 3 points if one or two loss, it looks easy instead of thinking they lost it all. Manchester City will seal a title win this season which they will probably celebrate at home against Chelsea tomorrow. This is the best chance for them as two of the remaining three matches of the season will be on the other side. Celebrating the title at home is Manchester City's main mission tomorrow after securing the Champions League final. Manchester City's players spent a lot of energy for the match against Real Madrid. So this may reduce the chances of success for the City in their next EPL match. But Manchester City's next opponent is Chelsea and the London club is not having the best of times right now. Therefore, I admit that the next match could end in a draw for City. All the more reason why they can afford it. Man City might slip up here due to their game against Real Madrid but with how big the roster of Man City is i think they can overcome Chelsea easily due to how bad Chelsea is. Chelsea has one of the worst seasons in last couple of years so im not expecting anything from them in this duel. |

But as you say the expected semifinalists went through and it is Italy versus England in Conference, just like in Champions League!
shame for Basel, they deserved spot in finals, but could not make it till the end nevertheless, Viola will play West Ham, should be a proper final after all Italians vs England in two competitions, and Italians vs Spaniards in third, is this Calcio renaissance or what nevertheless, they are underdogs in all three finals, maybe that could be a catch to play on them Basel gaved up on their league trying to focus on europe but they just didnt have luck in the second half and extra time. Fiorentina overall was much better in this match. West Ham is a favorite for me in the final but it will be close between these two teams for sure |

UEFA Europa League semi-final second leg was between Bayer Leverkusen and Roma at yesterday. Roma reached the Europa League final, drawing 0-0 against Bayer Leverkusen to secure a 1-0 victory on aggregate in their semifinal. José Mourinho left in tears as Roma reaches Europa League final. Roma will now face Sevilla in the Europa League final at Budapest’s Puskás Aréna on May 31.
I also congratulate the Bayern Leverkusen team. They fought very well. Bayer Leverkusen had 72% possession, and engineering 23 shots. Forward Moussa Diaby perhaps came closest to that elusive goal for Leverkusen but his effort hit the crossbar.
Leverkusen had good performance in the Europa League this season but they were not lucky to win Roma in the semi final. Roma vs Sevilla is another interesting game that will take place, Sevilla is always this lucky team in Europa League which I don't have doubt in them win Roma, as long as Sevilla has gotten to final stage of the league I think they are good to go with championship of the league. This is what they have been fighting for to get this season. Xabi Alonso deserves credit and even if they don't, I'm personally giving him credits for how far he's pushed his side especially against the experienced Jose Mourinho. Sevilla would be defeated, because I can remember the last time Jose Mourinho lost a final, Tammy Abraham would be the player with three European tittles if he wins the Europa League Competition. Having already won the Champions League with Chelsea, the Conference Cup with Roma last season and possibly with Roma again for the Europa League Competition. Alonso really made a team in the end from Leverkusen after a terrible start and they survived and risen to a semi final and the season for them can be called a success. Mourinho is a genius and yet again he parked the bus and took his team to final and we all know he dosent lose them |

Looking at one of the semi-finalists is Rune not that surprised as Djokovic will always have a hard time beating this young player and so it proved Today there will be a match between Daniil Medvedev, the former ATP world number one, against Yannick Hanfmann. From this match I will risk a win for Daniil Medvedev.  Hanfmann is indeed not as popular as the other tennis players who still compete in the quarterfinals of this tournament, but Medvedev has to be careful with him, even though the bookmakers favor Medvedev very much compared to this opponent, but Hanfmann is quite difficult for his opponents. His game is not as attractive as Alcaraz, Sinner or Rune but His focused service and ball placement, which was quite difficult for his opponents to reach, was his capital so he could reach the quarter-finals because he was not the seed and was not really taken into account here being able to beat the two seeded players Fritz and Rublev as well as the host player Cecchinato, who at that time the audience was not by his side, is a record that Medvedev must pay close attention to Hanfmann has a chance to beat Medvedev or at least give him a hard time early in the match so a 3-set match is very likely. And hope that another quarterfinal between Coric vs Tsitsipas will be very tight, even though Tsitsipas can make it to the final at Barcelona but I don't see him in his best form because then he can only reach the quarterfinals in Madrid and Coric who is also unstable has a chance to beat him, sometimes he can play very well and can frustrate his opponent, if Coric plays well he will have a chance to advance to semi-finals and fight the winner between Medvedev vs Hanfmann. Medvedev played very well, even the points he got were difficult for Hanfmann to catch up with. I won the bet mate and Medvedev also advanced to the semifinals against Stefanos Tsitsipas. It's a little difficult to determine which of them will win the semifinal match later. But I think Medvedev still has a chance to reach the final.  Medvedev surprisingly playing really good now on clay and i think that he might finally win a tournament. But he is playing against Tsitsipas that is good on clay and this will be an intresting matchup because they dont like each other. But still i think Medvedev can still make a shock and win this tournament. |

Inter Milan currently has a very strong defense. But I also think that the victory will most likely be on the side of Manchester City. Because after seeing how Real Madrid was humiliated by losing 4-0 in the second leg, I'm sure that Man City will indeed win the UCL trophy this season. But Inter Milan cannot be underestimated. The representative from Serie A is quite a difficult opponent to predict.
Agree. Man City mustn't underestimate Inter Milan, the Italian team is always difficult to defeat. Although Man City is in its best form, they must be careful with Inter Milan since they have the chance to steal goals with a counter-attack strategy. I think Man City can't expect to humiliate Inter as they did with Real Madrid in the final because Inter Milan has a stronger defense. However, I still believe that Man City has a bigger chance to win the final match because they have a perfect squad. Man City seems to have 2 prestigious titles this season (UCL and EPL titles). Its just one game and one final so anything can happen. But with how good Man City is playing it would be a miracle if Inter would keep their net safe for 30 minutes. If City plays even close to the level they played against Real Madrid we wont enjoy the final at all. Wojld really like too see something special from Inter |

I followed casperBGD without remembering where I saw it, but now I read this page and I see where I remember about Basel.
This was something I forgot to share last time.
congrats man, it was a nice win Basel is my favorite as well, and they are now back even with Fiorentina at home, so have an advantage in total other match is close, no goals so far, AZ is a better team, but that could maybe just due to fact that they need to score as I remember, both matches last week came in overturn, who scored first, lost the match, so maybe AZ is waiting for West Ham to score, to overturn it Fiorentina just shocked Basel in the 129th minute . Insane Barak from the bench scored a goal that killed all hopes for Basels first ever final. As expected we will have the final between Fiorentina and West Ham and will be intrested to see what will happen. West Ham is the favorite for me in that duel |

Juventus - Sevilla is going down on a 1:1 not and for the Juventus their have to really put up a strong play if not there may end up not going far with their defence of this goal judging from the way Sevilla is pressing them so hard in this match and if any slid opportunities occur there may be another addition to the current score.
Really good match so far and a really close one. Sevilla was close to winning but couldnt break Juventus. With 1-1 now we are going into extra time and anything can happen but with how good Sevilla is in this tournament i think they might win this duel in extra times or penalties. |

Big win for Newcastle tonight as their flugged brighton with several goals and to wulify for the next round of the premier league, this is a big win for the club considering the performance since the league started.
Its not over yet Brighton scored and its 2-1 for Newcastle with 20 minutes to go. The match is really open and i think anything can happen. Both teams are attacking hard,Newcastle also missed a few good chances to close the match but now they can get easily punished. |

Breaking! Bad news from the King of Clay: Rafa pulls out of Roland Garros: Rafael Nadal held a press conference at his Academy on Thursday where the 22-time Grand Slam champion announced he will be unable to defend his French Open title at Roland Garros due to ongoing hip injury; the Spaniard also announced 2024 is likely to be his last year before retiring So no RG this year for Rafa unfortunately and 15th RG title will have to wait until 2024!  Well he is injured for a long time already and is better to wait until he is at least 95% recovered. This injury is hurting him for years already but now i hope that he can play at least one year. He should get ready for that 2024 and go strong at it one final time |

My point is, they are all average European teams so any one of them has a chance of winning the conference league.
Throughout years and competitions played, Fiorentina name occured first then West Ham then both Basel and Alkmaar. What we see this season is that West Ham might pass to the final game but Fiorentina are at risk and will have a tough match vs Basel in order to play the final game. I was expecting Fiorentina to pass easily and to win the title this year, I hope they will not fail us soon  Fiorentina lost shockingly at home and i think they will put really high presure on them now. Even the bookies are afraid of Fiorentina because the moneyline on Fiorentina really dropped heavily. I still am expecting a final between Fiorentina and West Ham and i think it is still realistic. |

Roma vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen leg-2 is going to be held today in UEFA Europ league semi-final game. After 32 long years, Roma started their journey from the semi-finals to the final, it is the most joy for Roma. Today's match will be a great attack for Roma to reach the final as they reach this semi-final stage after 32 long years. Roma are ahead after scoring 1 goal in Leg-1 and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are under a lot of pressure in the match as they are one goal behind. Today's match is at Bayer 04 Leverkusen's home ground but they are under a lot of pressure and this match Roma will surely attack enough to reach the final. And in the match, it is confirmed that Roma will have a great attack and will definitely reach the final.
Roma looks much better then Leverkusen so far and i think they might win it. Im expecting that Mourinho parks the bus and waits for a counter attack to finish Leverkusen. If a goal accures in early minutes we might see a lot but still this all smells like another low scoring match |
