I don't know about maintaining the rhythm, but I think Eintracht should be more concerned about maintaining or strengthening its composition It will be very interesting for me to see how the club will approach the recruitment of the team in the period between seasons. On the one hand, there are matches in the Champions League ahead and it is required not to hit the dirt in front of rivals and their fans. On the other hand, Eintracht is not such a rich club to keep the players they need if they receive favorable offers from potential buyers. Still, I don't think that before the start of the season, the club's management seriously assumed and was ready that the team would play in the Champions League for the first time next season.

Milan, of course, would really like to win and win the long-awaited Scudetto, but do not forget that Sassuolo is certainly not eager to help Milan in this Let the strongest win in the end and Milan is now the master of its destiny and should approach this match as responsibly as possible. However, such responsibility can play a bad joke with the team and history in general and the history of this season already knows examples of similar cases when the leaders of the championship could not win their match when everyone expected them to do so. In general, in this sense, Napoli can be called a complete loser when the team lost all chances in the fight for the title at the end of the season.

At one time, the Uefa Cup Winners' Cup was abolished due to a lower sports level and less spectator interest in the tournament. Accordingly, in order to have more finances in the two remaining tournaments, therefore, the conversation about extra money is quite debatable for UEFA. At least, the creation of the Conference League was presented to us as not a business project, but as providing a chance to compete for an international prize and hold international matches for teams not from leading countries. I am also surprised that the Conference League final is held later than the Europa League final, but maybe all this is due to the very fact of the first draw of the tournament.

Messi and the whole Paris Saint-Germain will be much more difficult next season if Mbappe does leave the team, because the Paris club's game largely rests on the efforts of this player, who constantly keeps his high level unlike many of his star teammates. As I said before, I can't imagine what should happen for Barcelona President Laporta to say that he would not be happy about Messi's return to the team. Another question is that this can only be an act of politeness and I don't think Barcelona will make any efforts to bring back its famous pupil. Therefore, I still think that Messi's immediate future is connected with Paris Saint-Germain and the player should already adapt and bring more benefits to the club, especially given the very likely departure of Mbappe.

Oh, yes, moving to Manchester United now is a certain risk, because the team is not balanced and therefore does not achieve the result that the club's fans expect. To the results that the team was accustomed to during the time of Alex Ferguson. On the other hand, bad results will continue if players like Frankie de Jong do not come to the club and the fact that a specialist from the Netherlands will now be at the head of the team can also play a role in favor. There is information that the Manchester United management allocated 140 million to Erik ten Hag to strengthen the squad, although of course the club's non-participation in the Champions League may alienate some players from the transfer.

Both Benzema and Vinicius Junior are equally dangerous and their actions can decide the outcome of the meeting, so you can't envy Liverpool's defenders. Therefore, Liverpool need to try to play as well as possible in attack and try to secure a bigger advantage and not stop there, because Real Madrid in this Champions League draw proved that they can quickly return to the fight within a few minutes. Therefore, a lot also depends on how Courtois will play in this match, because in matches with previous opponents, Real Madrid's defense often malfunctioned and it was the goalkeeper's good play that allowed the team to still have chances to return to the game.

Lampard fulfilled his minimum task, avoided the worst-case scenario and still kept Everton in the Premier League. Another question, I think that maybe the club's management still hoped for more, some kind of miracle, rather than a struggle for survival, when they invited Lampard to the post of head coach. And so, so far it turned out that when he started work, Everton took 16th place after the 20th round and now the club takes 16th place before the last round and can only climb one place ahead of Southampton at most. It turns out that two clubs from Liverpool fought hard until the last rounds of the championship, only one club fought to win the Premier League, and the other club fought for the right to stay in the Premier League.

Personally, in my opinion, the final turned out to be quite poor for beautiful football actions. On the other hand, this is the final and such matches are very often boring because of the tension and responsibility of the teams for the result. Still, the UEFA Cup and the title of the winner of the Europa League were at stake, as well as participation in the Champions League for the next season. It was also a chance for both clubs to win a second European Cup after decades after their conquest. I agree that Eintracht looked better in the first 90 minutes of the meeting and the Rangers goal was somewhat against the logic of the match and it's good that the German club managed to equalize the score quickly enough. We can say that both goals of the opponents were the result of gross mistakes of the players in defense. In the extra halves, respectively, the Rangers' attacks looked more dangerous. The funny thing is that the only loser of the penalty shootout turned out to be the most stellar of the punchers, Aaron Ramsey.

I also think so, but still football in certain cases is quite an unpredictable thing and the most incredible options are possible. On the one hand, Liverpool have already won two titles this season and the club still has chances for two more titles. But still, in the situation of winning the Premier League, not everything depends only on Liverpool, and I think that Manchester City is still not Arsenal, which will give up at the most crucial moment. Also, in my opinion, participation in so many tournaments may not play the most positive role in the physical condition of Liverpool's leaders and Klopp has to take risks by rotating the squad.

Well, why immediately send Benzema to the reserve? I wouldn't be too surprised if Benzema and Mbappe are on the football field at the same time at least next season. If, of course, everything is confirmed and finally Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid is officially announced. Another question is that I am really not sure that Benzema will be able to play at such a high level in the coming years as this season. Still, betting on him for the next few years is risky enough, given the age of the player. But while Benzema is in such amazing playing and physical shape, it will be a real crime to keep such a player in reserve and give preference to other players.

In theory, the match with Barcelona cannot and should not be easy by default, the whole question here is who is more important than the result in this match. As far as I understand, the result is more important for Villarreal, whose players, in theory, should take care of themselves less than the Barcelona players. You can also keep in mind the fact that Barcelona will no longer be able to change its standings either up or down and in any case will remain in second place, unlike Sevilla, which still retains chances to rise to third place and get ahead of Atletico Madrid, so in this sense the opposition should be stronger in the match at Athletic Bilbao.

As far as I understand, it seems that Lewandowski has already decided to leave the club and unequivocally said about it. The whole question is that the leadership of Bayern Munich is against this and wants the player to work out his contract to the end, which is known to be valid until the end of next season. I think that the player, with his performance for the team and the benefits he brought to the club, deserved Bayern to let the player go to another club. Naturally, for a decent compensation, which the club will arrange. But apparently, according to the statements of the club's management representatives, there is not even a desire to discuss this yet.

Oh, yes, what I admire about Eintracht is how the team can quickly go on the attack in a few passes and find themselves near someone else's penalty area. Also in favor of the club is what rivals were passed along the way by the club from Frankfurt. Still, Betis, West Ham and especially Barcelona are quite big names compared to the club from Germany and these clubs were the favorites, not Eintracht. But still, I will not risk calling Eintracht the undisputed favorite of the Europa League final and Rangers have already proved in this draw that they know how to gather and tilt the outcome of matches in their favor. Another question is that this usually happened at the Rangers home stadium.

Why do you think Mbappe has a better chance of winning the Champions League with Real Madrid? I am not sure that Real Madrid will continue to be so lucky every year and the club will be able to win the Champions League again in the near future. The club expects a global restructuring, in which there will no longer be such players as Modric and Benzema, or they will no longer be able to make such a significant contribution to the success of the team. I would also say that Mbappe's opinion could still be influenced by who will be the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain next season, but apparently the player has already made his decision or the management has already informed him of this name.

The pace is certainly frenzied and I would like to wish the Liverpool players to avoid injuries and be combat-ready in the upcoming final with Real Madrid. However, the example of the Madrid club shows that it is not necessary to dominate the whole match. It is enough to dominate for a few minutes to turn the course of the match in your favor Therefore, a lot will depend on what tactics the head coaches of the teams will choose, in what condition the leaders of the teams will approach the match and whether they will participate at all. Still, one should not deny the invaluable contribution made by the same Benzema and Modric and it is still unknown if Real Madrid could have made it to the finals if there had not been these players.

With their losses to Tottenham and Newcastle in the last two matches, Arsenal can be said to have crossed out the favorable impression that has developed about the team recently. Nevertheless, participation in the Champions League, which has now turned out to be a big question, is not only prestige, but also solid funds in the cash register of the club, which would not be superfluous in the matter of strengthening the team. It is also necessary to take into account in this matter that for many potential newcomers it is important whether the team participates in the Champions League or not. By the way, it will be funny if Conte leads Tottenham to the Champions League, but then leaves the club, unable to agree with the management about strengthening the squad.

By the way, two teams out of four played a full-time match against each other, so it's not so surprising Indeed, Real Madrid and Barcelona no longer solved global tournament problems in their matches. About the match between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla, we can say that the neighbors in the standings met and the draw was arranged by both Atletico, which retained its third place and the status quo, and Sevilla, which thanks to this draw secured its participation in the Champions League for the next season. From the intrigues of the last round, the rivalry between Villarreal and Athletic for the 7th place and a place in the conference League is interesting.

I would be extremely surprised if the president of Barcelona would say that he would not be happy about Messi's return to the club, given the entire background of the relationship between the player and the club I think that Messi's return as a player is still not necessary for Barcelona. The club has just begun to grope its new model of the game and its further path without Messi's participation, and therefore it is not worth breaking everything and trying to reshape everything again for a player who is not getting younger every year. Messi seems to be slowly starting to feel for himself in Paris Saint-Germain and has already spent a whole season and there is no need to break it all.

It really looked strange, but it's still worth considering that the current Juventus is already or is not yet the formidable Juventus that it used to be. When I watched the match, for some reason I had a strong feeling that we were watching an Italian championship match, and a friendly farewell match at the home stadium in Turin of such players as Chiellini and Dibala, and as you know, such matches very often end in a draw, and Lazio's goal miraculously scored in the last seconds of the match, it also fits perfectly into my impression By the way, it would really be unfair if Juventus won this match, so the final score is quite fair for me and Lazio still needed at least one point in this match.

Which players to let out for the match is determined by the head coach and the medical staff of the team, and if they decided so, then there are reasons for this. By the way, besides Benzema, such important players for Real Madrid as Modric, Courtois and Vinicius Junior were absent from the bench. On the other hand, Ancelotti had previously said that he would not remove players from the squad in order to avoid injuries and if the competitive spirit was lost, it would not lead to anything good. Therefore, Ancelotti himself understands the danger of such an approach and he probably has his own reasons for this, his own plan of action according to which he acts.
