This was a hard-fought battle for the 23rd round of Ligue 1, PSG hosted Stade Rennais. In a challenging match, the league leaders managed to snatch a draw in the dying moments of the game thanks to a penalty from Gonçalo Ramos (1-1). In a match where PSG dominated possession, they struggled to create clear-cut chances and saw Rennes take the lead thanks to a brilliant run from Amine Gouiri, who managed to beat Gianluigi
 Donnarumma.

 This lead was very great to come through for them very early in the first half. Rennes should be commended for how they’ve been. In the 2nd half the performance of the club dropped and that made psg got a penalty and converted it and they made them hAd a point in this match. Well I don’t have many views on this match because they are already said to be leading the league with great points, niw they are seeming to focus more on the UCL and this is what played out in this match. You can see how the players were careful and trying to keep themselves out of injury for the UCL clash later this week. Well I think going forward PSG Will have to improve on how they play so as not to lose grip on the league and playing the way they did against Rennes over the weekend is wuite risky as if they don’t improve or play better they could be placed under pressure. The league isn’t worth that standard of being under pressure so I think it should be all wins or majorly drawa from Psg as I already see them as league winners.

The season statrted and Manchester United were just like Chelsea without no hopes of finishing top 4 this season as both teams struggled to maintain winning streaks. Now the season got to a break and in 2024, it seems Manchester United got back on their feet and had great consistent wins that made us begin to consider them as one team to sure make one the final top 4 and going to the UCL next season. Well all that party came to an end at home to Fulham; United came into this match as the better team but it seemed they’ve been having some lucky wins especially as we see how Fulham were able to contain them. Fulham didn’t just end at outplaying them and balancing the game they also made sure ti get all 3 points at Old Trafford and this was really one turning point to the aspirations of the club.

 We can see how toothless they were without their centre forward, Hojlund; and they lost to a side who haven’t had an awY win in the last 6 months. Well the hopes Man United were trying to build in were all sank by injury crisis. Fulham deservedly took the lead early in the second half through a great effort from Calvin Bassey, and United had only half-chances to score until Harry Maguire hit home from close-range in the 89th minute. With nine minutes added on; Fulham were prepared for an onslaught and they got the win. Well we hope Hojlund returns on time because he’s been the main point man for this Manchester United tea and they look so ruthless without him in the team and now they’ve got some key matches and without Hojlund I don’t think they’ll be succeeding at all
 

The Italian league seems to get tougher and teams are rapidly growing into high worth, quality and class. The growth is evident and enviable too. This makes for the widespread fun in the league race too. It's not so easy to predict the outcome of the games too. Juventus are good, so is Milan, Napoli and even Frosinone too. Inter Milan too are in good form and these teams are lasting threats. The race for the trophy is tough and all teams are determined and unwavering at their goal. The strongest teams of the league are Juventus and Inter and the odds for the trophy for these teams are very much alike. Inter are faced with the European contest and for Juventus, they've still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games.

 Well just barely weeks till the season comes to an end and it's very much feasible that Juventus may not be able to catch up with the points gap between them and inter Milan. Although, they're seemingly determined to work towards achieving it considering their recent game performances and outcomes too. Not withstanding, it'll only take inter Milan enduring a number of losses and draws for that to happen and this is something that Juventus themselves know won't be possible as their top opponent is also resilient and paced at securing the Serie A trophy. Juventus had a late win against Frosinone over the weekend which is definitely something they should work towards curtailing as it'll be very much advantageous to them if they're able to secure the win long before the injury time of the game. These last few weeks are critical to every team and their performances ahead will determine the range or level they'll be at the end of the season. No team will be willing to take chances and let opportunities slip by.

Funny how we still go about the topic of great footballers not being able to attain success level while as Coach of teams. This is a very big topic and one that requires greAt discussion because we’ve got a long list of those great ex players underperforming as coach. Now in the SPL, we’ve got one great English Llayer who was at a point considered to be Jurgen’s replacement at Liverpool and we’ve seen this same man performing poorly. He’s now suffering in the SPL after a long and dreadful spell at Aston Villa. Currently the man is under great pressure even though he started the campaign really well but I don’t know and can’t say what went wrong for him. He started this campaign really well and things going south for him after the huge money spent in the transfer season which is more than any spent by an other team in the league.

 Gerrard is under serious pressure and I don’t see him being able to hold unto his game for longer time because of poorly he’s performing with this club, it’s nothing to write home about. Well looking at the Aston Villa side he managed and how greatly they’ve improved to challenging for a UCL spot in less than a year if him departing is always one thing to strike out his good dedds in his coaching career. I can remember when these team had a great start to the season and many people thought they’ll be a team to contest for the SPL title now it’s seeming like the goals have all dried up as they haven’t had any win in the last 9 matches. Well we putting the blame on injury to an extent is like trying to save a name for Gerrard. Looking at this scenario, we can see how poorly Gerrard has been and I think him getting sent out by the club and the club hiring a better coach will do them more harm than good as most great ex late aren’t all to make a great coach.

Leverkusen for all time this season have proven to possess qualities of champions. Their unwavering and determined efforts to their games in both the German league and UEL have only shown how capable and fit and qualified they are to lift these trophies. It's safe to say that they'd be the right team to be victorious in these two football journies this season. For Xabi's ability based on his performances with his team, it'll be fair to admit his superiority in skillset. Leverkusen when Xabi took over had to start from scratch to build up to where they are now. So far Xabi, he has been a good boss and his methods have worked perfectly for Leverkusen. One would wonder how he managed to put up such feat for the team considering the spot he picked them from. It's one quality that can definitely be found in a good manager. Leverkusen have been impressive in all rounds and it's surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams. It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too.

 Well it'll only be fair and an added advantage to the German club if their hit maker coach stays the next season with them to keep up with the positive differences he's trying impart to the club. He's this season tried all his best and these bests have gained reasonable and quality feedbacks and results too. He can as well be so much proud of his achievements so far just as everyone else is proud of him too. It's not that easy to take a club out of hiding and placing them at the spotlight. One would expect a lot more from him and the only way by which this expected lot more can be gotten is via his retainment in the team. Well rumours overtime may have that there may be plans for Munich and Liverpool to sign him up to themselves but yes he may try to create another good difference there but it's only fair that he stays at Leverkusen. For one, I do know they won't want to let him out of their hands yet. The players love him, even after this attained height, it's believed that as a tactical coach, he's got better plans up his sleeves to be unveiled in the coming seasons and definitely, he's one man that'll be watched closely in terms of team performance wherever he finds himself.

The UCL is always known to have a team who many don’t expect much from them but each time they play they seem to beat the expectations of the fans. These kind of teams usually doesn’t have to play much to get past each stage as they are most times usually escaping with narrow wins.We’ve had these kind of team in almost each season of the UCL and for last season one thing we can see that matches this description is Inter Milan. At the start of the campaign no one thought they’ll be able to pose a threat of any sort or even if they’ll, they won’t be able to stay in the competition for long.

 To our biggest surprise this team overcame every hurdle and got to the final of the competition although they didn’t win it as they were played by a very determined Manchester City team who had gotten to the final consecutively. Well this now brings us to this season surprise wonder and many believe PSG could be the surprise of the season. Well In as much as PSG aren’t up to standard of being called class on European competition, We can’t neglect the fact that this team is now better shaped especially since the addition of Luis Enrique to this team. Luis is one tactical genius and his tactics has now made this team look even and better shaped.

 You can see the improvements of the team when he changed the tactics and how they performed in the first leg at home to Real Sociedad. Well the 2nd leg though they’re going to that match comfortably but I’ll love to see how they perform away from home. Yes performing excellently away from home is also a boost to the team confidence and that can make us start seeing the team as maybe the surprise team of the UCL this season. This team is majorly focused on the UCL as for their league they’re having a resounding 11 point gap to 2nd place and they don’t seem to be under pressure. Well even if they don’t give a stellar performance this season, I think they’re a team to look out for next season as they’ll be having some nice additions and which I believe with Enrique in charge he’ll sure do wonders in this club.

Well last season we saw some improved clubs in the EPL and these clubs were able to maintain this improvements all through the season and that gave them some great result like European qualification. One of those improved teams in Newcastle, they performed greatly in the calendar year of 2023 and were able to finish in 4th place. Though they got eliminated in the group stage of the UCL, but they were able to make a name for themselves by defeating almighty PSg and causing trouble for Ac Milan. Well these kind of improvements is what we expected them to build on and get better entering this season but it seems, injury had it’s tow on them. Newcastle since when they had some crazy injury crisis haven’t been able to perform to optimum and it’s quite worrisome for the fans as these players aren’t living up to expectation. Now no one is having full confidence on Newcastle for going to any European competition as they keep having one bad performance to another.

 The match against Arsenal was one major test for them to see if they’ll at least have anything to offer but it seems that this team has now become a shadow of themselves as they keep performing poorly. In that match yes we expected Arsenal to at least have a say but not with those crazy goals. Arsenal had the lead quite early and surprisingly it was an own goal gifted to them by Newcastle, this lead was doubled within 6 minutes and that speaks a lot on the defense line of this said to be improved Newcastle. Well Arsenal too were the better team as we saw how they came into the 2nd half very confident and got additional 2 goals to add to the tally though some defensive errors occured and they weren’t able to keep the clean sheet.

 Going forward, we can now see that this Arsenal team that performed during the week is quite weak compared to this dreadful side that played during weekend. This result should send a warning signal to Porto because these Arsenal boys are quite young and  very agile. Arsenal are a goal down in the UCL, but they’ve got quite a lot to offer in the second leg and I’m very confident on Arsenal going through to the last 8. Though it seems Arsenal want to go all out for the EPl And chase it so dearly rather than the UCL as they play with less confidence in that competition. Though I still have high hopes on Arsenal being able to go through and I’ll sure have them in my selection if I’m to play a bet on this game.

Well the UCL has resumed and it’s quite having it’s surprises and this is the fun of the European Championship. The biggest clubs gets some crazy surprises and this is the fun of this competition.. Well looking at this years Round of 16 matches we’ve had a lot of big surprises in the first leg and these surprises is what raises the adrenaline of both the players and the fans in this competition. We had some big offset wins of less clubs winning the come who had high advantage. We’ll love to look at the match between Lazio and Bayern Mumich; this match was one we thought will go the way of Bayern especially as they’ve got better experience and a better squad than this Lazio side. To our surprise we saw Lazio having the lone goal win in this match and it’s was quite surprising though especially as we saw Bayern dominating all through this match. Before we try to consider Bayern’s chances of going through, we’ll have to take a look at their recent matches and compare their performance. Well for me I’m not just looking at recent performances but also looking at the all round performance of Bayern this season.

 Bayern haven’t been at their best like we used to know in the past seasons as they’ve been underperforming both in the league and in domestic competitions also the UCL grpup stage. Well Tuchel pattern wasn’t working and the board realized this quite early and have decided to let him go at the end of the season. I think Bayern in this match still have every chance to get past Lazio but will they be able to?? Bayern are not a team I’ll have full confidence on especially after the big disappointment in the first leg and in other matches of the league. I think the best Bayern can get off this match is a draw and that’ll be to the favour of Lazio. Well Lazio really wants to go through and for that, you don’t expect them to come into this match relaxed, rather they’ll come to this match with the defensive mindset and hope to hit Bayern on a counter or get the full time draw that brings them to the last 8. Well Tuchel is already leaving and for that reason, I don’t think he’ll be offering much in this fixture. So I still stand with Lazio qualifying from this stage.

Well when a player achieves hid full potential he’s usually linked to any move out of the club especially to a better club who can pay even more for his services. This is usually associated with young players because of their age and how massive they perform.  Most clubs are all chasing players who have the potential to achieve greatness at the club rather than chasing youngsters and helping to build them up. The latter is quite important but the first is more importatnter like they say especially for clubs in European competitions. Winning an European competition is key for most club and to that reason they prefer acquiring an already made player who already have the technical know how on th competition. Yes this brings us down to how much experience is needed for being part of a football club. In European competitions, what’s greatly needed more is experience before we talk about form as we can see how experience have helps some teams achieve great success in this league.

 Well another point we will love to look out is the African Best Player, Victor Osimhen and all that’s been revolving around him based on hi transfer out of the club. First, Victor is a born talent that’s been growing and achieving success on every stage he finds himself right from the U-17 World Cup. Victor has been prolific from Germany to France and down to Italy and he’s still having great potential and looking like one that’ll grace the limelight for a while. Well he was one major factor in Napoli winning the league after over 20+ years and that brought him the African Best trophy. Now he got into a mix up with Napoli and most of her fans and the club’s management especially in this season that they’re not able to defend the trophy they won excellently well last season. Now people are wanting him to leave the club and it’s seeming very possible.

 Well so many has linked him to a move to the EPL but he turned that down and said the rumors came from his loved fans who would want to see him thrive in England and he so much appreciates their effort but he reignited his stay at Napoli. Now he’s been linked to the French Champions PSG to replace Kylian who’s set to leave the club. Well in as much he’s still i der contract, I feel if PSG really wants the striker then they can acquire him amd I trust him to be able to thrive so well as he’s flourished in the French league in the past and can still flourish especially with the sweet formation of the French Club.

The financial situation of Barcelona at some moment didn't require an irrational spending. It required careful consideration and study too. Barcelona needed to get out of the situation fast and so they didn't n't dare trade their chances. They had eyes on some players who are or will also be willing to join them but they just couldn't squeeze out that funds because it'd have led to another jeopardy. It was so sad that for the time being, they were left with just free transfer options or low budgeted players. Adding a high rated player in the team also meant a careful study of his salary incentives and finding a plan that would befit this player and I don't think any player of that stance, would want his salary structure reviewed. The best thing for Barcelona was just endurance whilst finding quick means out of the situation so they'd be back to acquiring the best guys in the game.

 Well in as much as they were battled with that magnitude of setback as a team, the Spanish side still strived towards gaining good game results which also fueled their progress and performances in competitions to come. I won't say they did extremely well so far in the endeavors this season as definitely they had times of good news and good results and also times where they fell short of victory which was a negative effect to their journey so far this season. There's still a a few weeks left to the end of the season, they can still make a wholesome difference, though Real Madrid and Girona would give a difficult time, they can also work towards staying in good shape for the UCL tournament games too and we'd see how good, well and far they'd go as weeks go by.

Onana's criticism from fans is not his fault, but a result of the general team's performance. Onana before now in his previous teams was as good as ever, he won awards and made good name for himself. His move to Manchester United and his performance afterwards surprised everyone because suddenly, he began to concede consistently and it was disappointing for the club as a whole. Do not blame Onana for his flops, Manchester United right now needs reformation, their defense, midfield, attack and team management as a whole needs to be fixed.

 Manchester United has suffered series of set backs in both team management and match outcomes, sometimes it's the manager's fault, sometimes the individual players, sometimes it's everyone's fault at thesame time. But I'd say that the manager is to be blamed fully because he's the overseer of the team and he has the capacity to make corrections when things go wrong so no matter how much a player is blamed, you won't tell me that the manager didn't also see the defaults in that player and make a move for his replacement. United's squad from back to forth are world class and I believe they just need the right hand. Let's use Onana as an instance, the major reason why he was signed by United was a result of his top notch performance with Ajax and now here's what they get. They need a new strategy, they also need a new managerial atmosphere, maybe that's where the jinx lies. Hopefully, they'd work on themselves and bring back the fighting spirit Onana experienced in his last teams.

Leipzig has been performing well of recent in their league and comparing them to their last encounter they've been to a reasonable extent better than them in the ball play, dominance, victory and goal scoring opportunities and abilities. Leipzig now rubs shoulders with the likes of Bayern Munich, Dortmund who are amongst the tough clubs in the league. Leipzig does have a big chance against teams in the league and their victory in the coming games won't be surprising because they're the stronger team. Not withstanding, these teams should be able to play not forgetting that they still have games left for a couple of weeks in the league too and there shouldn't be resilience.

 Over the years, every season, we've seen certain teams leading the top chart of the Bundesliga and there's been some levels of consistency especially for Munich who's most of the time finished at the first position. Before now, Leverkusen and Stuttgart weren't even seen near the top four, it was always a Munich, Dortmund show but there's been much of a difference this season. Now there's a kinda rub shoulders between these teams, Leverkusen and Stuttgart who's been on the sidelines for seasons have now come up to be competitive for the trophy. Since the season began, they've been able to be threats to the trophy race, Munich now have to be extra cautious in their games too. They've lost twice in a row and it's kept the ints between them and Leverkusen. Also for Stuttgart who's been doing their best to keep their spot in the top 4 space. It's very much impression that this season took a different turn in the Bundesliga. Leipzig and Dortmund still have to strive to regain back their usual space on the table because currently, they're seemingly below the top 3, although with not much points difference which they still have a chance to meet up with.

Well age is really something that affects a man in any profession and that’s why we’ve got retirement age in most professions. Now for an athlete I think each sports have their certain age bracket to end and football is somewhat between 39-42. Playing professionally at 40 or 41 is kind of risky both to the player and majorly to the team. Yes to the team because they’ll be the one suffering for the errors of the player while on the pitch of play. We’re taking a look at Pepe and his imapct in this Porto team and the side effect of him still being in the line up even up till now for this team. Well yes, we know experience matters but in a team like Porto who’re playing in the UCL, they’ve to try mix experience with strength and form.

 Pepe in the heart of their defense line, yea it’s commendable but still has it’s side effects due to his age as he might not be able to catch up on the pace of the young players. A team like Arsenal who they were lucky to get the win over, in the 2nd leg, the young attackers of Arsenal might be unstoppable for Pepe and Porto. In this match Arsenal still have a lot of points to prove and will sure be playing all out to at least get an early go at least secure them in the match. The age of this defender isn’t a plus for him as It’s somewhat bizzare especially in football as a sport. Even goal keepers staying at 41 is still seen as odd. I think the player should consider playing in less competitive leagues like the SPL or MLS like his counterparts who he played with in his prime. In leagues like that he’ll be considered top and seen as one very important and key player.

Manchester United have been suffering a lot this season and quite a few times have they come under fire both the board, down to the coach for his choice of players he got and the selection of team he’s had in some games down to the underperforming players. Well this team have suffered a lot due to injury of most of her key players. Injury is one big cause of a team’s reduced performance and one team that’s suffered the bad fate of injury is Man United. Well when the year started, they were able to overcome this ill fate and get something off for themselves and had some great wins that made people consider them maybe finishing in the top 4.

Well at the press conference for the match against Fulham, the coach announced the i jury on the club’s striker which will see him out for sometime. This news was met with crazy reactions especially by the fans as he’s just picked up his form and has scored in consecutive matches for the team. Now there’s a scare injury brings especially to a player or players who struggle to find their winning feat in a team. Now this scare of not being able to return and keep maintaining the high standard is the fear for most of the fans.This fear is understandable especially as you can see how the team were performing without having a striker in the team. This team now without Hojlund today like the match against Fulham were very unproductive upfront and this will be their fate especially as most of the young players haven’t been able to live up to expectation as they majorly rely on Hojlund. Well it’s going to be a long weel for the fans of the club as I think now the club is going to keep suffering foung blank and it’s quite crazy they’re facing this fate at a time when the Manchester Derby 2nd leg is about to be played. With this fate, I don’t think they’ll be be able to get that top 4 dream as they don’t have the required force upfront to get the goals for them.

Lyon started the season poorly and many thought they won’t be able to get over their poor form to achieve anything this season. Especially as most big teams aren’t performing on a great note this season. The way Lyon started the season was quite poorly and they looked like a team that’ll be struggling to survive the relegation zone. But not long ago this team got back on track and have now been able to maintain and have 4 straight wins in their last 4 matches ni the league. This great wins now moves their win tally to 8 in the league and now moves them to 10th position in the league though just 6 points away from relegation zone. Though 6 points looks so little but I’ve confidence that they won’t drop down below to that level again especially after seeing how they can perform in recent matches.

 In their match yesterday, they had a narrow win but that match showed their strength and determination and it also showed their weakness because you can see them conceding quite early which isn’t always good because If they were playing a very good side then they could have probably lost that match. Well kudos to how hard they fought and it earned them the 3 points which has moved them one position up on the log. Now looking at Brest who were able to move up to second place with the win over Marseille over the last weekend. That win was one that brought the job of Gatusso to an end at the club. Brest will be playing StrAsborg this weekend to cement their 2nd place.This match should be going Brest way but Strasborg shouldn’t be underrated as they’re one average team that show can’t be predicted as they could either be on fire or cold but what I’m very sure of is Brest getting at least a draw in this match.

The SPL clubs making it big in the Asian Championship is what the organizers of the league real wanted. The way they invested in their clubs is really paying off as we can see how the clubs are performing across the continent. Well taking a look at the clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad; both are in the SPL, the former remains unbeaten in the league and across the league while the latter are the defending champions of the league. These 2 clubs were able to secure themselves a spot in the Quater Finals of this Championship. What’s interesting is that these two clubs are both in same league and have both had great success time in the league and they know about each other. I think Al‐Hilal have the greater advantage because they’re able to win Al-Ittihad in the league and know their weaknesses already.

 I think Al-Hilal will be exploring on more weaknesses of these Al Ittihad to do them more harm in the Championship. For Al-Ittihad I think they’ll be coming into this match very careful even though they’re the defending champions of their league but currently Al-Hilal are in a better position. Al-Ittihad must be careful on how they come out to attack Al-Hilal else they’ll be conceding some rain of goals. As you can see that coming into this quater finals they still to an extent struggled to get the win that brought them here. For Punters the best choice is to get Al-Hial to surely win this match and go through to the next round because they’re the team on fire with very high determination as compared to Al Ittihad who’re struggling and trying to get their balance this season.

Mbappe to Real Madrid is one news that’s been on the mouth of most media outlet for over 2 transfer windows. Well Mbappe is one very young player who has achieved a lot at his age and he’s currently bent on achieving even more and greater deeds. His main target is the UCL and at PSG, he might not be able to achieve that feat and for that reason, he’s seeking a move to the Spanish Capital. Well at Real Madrid he’s sure of having at least 1-2 UCL to his name and also if he performs like the star he is then he could also get himself some individual accolades especially as we’re now having the era if Messi and Ronaldo ended already.

 Now it’s time for Mbappe and Haaland who are 2 players that have the potential of holding the football world for a long time like Ronaldo and Messi did. So for this reason, he’s considered a move to Madrid is willing to make it happen and Madrid being clever decided to get him as a free agent and make him bend to their own demands. Kylian wants a salary yearly of over 75 million euros but I think Madrid are tabling 25 million for a start. Well the figure isn’t a big deal for Madrid especially for the kind of player Kylian is and judging from his antecedents and what he could offer at the club. I think Madrid doesn’t want to do some rush and spend big and at the end it becomes unnecessary and reckless. Well whatever be the case, I have high hopes that Mbappe will still join this Madrid sign what ever maybe and he’ll perform greatly as this is the only club at the moment that will be able to bring him to the limelight.

Real Sociedad were able to overcome the group stage hurdles and thereafter advancing to the last 16. Sorry to say but it'll only be in the widest of dreams that Sociedad will lift the UCL trophy this season. They're not so much of a good side neither are they a bad side. They've currently not just got what it takes to be the champions. There are still teams far better than them in all aspects, doing exceedingly well and even making extra efforts than Sociedad makes. Yes anything can happen in football but there are some fates that have been envisioned out. Maybe they'd scale through to the last 8 but the odds are very much minimal. This stage of the contest isn't a joke as all teams are in their best.

 Well the first leg of the round of 16 games didn't really turn out well for them because they were the visitors and they were up against a tough French team who were far better than them in the pitch adding that they've got better UCL experiences than them too. Now they'll have to in the second league fight back the two goals that they're down with which they themselves know won't be so easy for them to. PSG aren't a team that'll fold their arms and watch how the hosts will defeat them by 2goals without making any move to net in a goal, adding that they're questing hard to be UCL champions too. I'd expect that with respect to their performances in the La Liga this season, they'll be able to stand their ground especially in this game where they'd be the host. Well, it'll be bad that their recent performances so far would be infectious to their morale in the second league but there's still a bit of time to cover up their loopholes and be very well prepared for the UCL encounter with PSG in March.

In the Europa League, there's been top contending teams from the start till the current stage of the contest. Even though days back, the playoffs stage was concluded and there we saw few teams earn advancement tickets. Well from the beginning of the tournament, we know that it'll only be the tough teams that'd survive. Also predicting the winner this season would be hard as there are a number of tough teams to pick from. The highest we can do is to just analyze these teams based on their overtime performances this season and bringing that in the picture, the highest probable winner would be Leverkusen, then Liverpool and any other team behind. In essence it's safe to say that if the draws are favourable, then Liverpool would battle with Leverkusen in the final game of the tournament.

 Between these two teams, Liverpool have been trying though, they're anticipating the EPL trophy, as well as the Carabao cup too and then they're top contenders for the UEL. Well, the EFL finals will be played tomorrow and then I believe the weight on them would be a bit lessened as before now, dues to the number of competitions they were playing in, they had to keep resting players and I believe it had an effect on some of their games, good thing is, they've been able to outshine too. So I believe after tomorrow, the next goal will be to keep advancing in the UEL and staying intact in the EPL too. For Leverkusen, they've been impactful, currently the top spot in the Bundesliga too and so they've got same goal as Liverpool and therefore if in recent times they've remained unbeaten, then I doubt that there'd be a negative difference now when the tournament and season is almost rounded up. For me, I'll really love to see the heated game between Leverkusen and Liverpool in the UEL soon though and I have a feeling they'd be made to play against themselves.

The season hasn't been quite adventurous for Juventus as they've been indicted to not taking part in the Europa League. They've been focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they've been doing excellently well in it. They've even got a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too. Although inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form.Well to talk about trophies fo be lifted this season by Juventus, they still have two options to take one or all from. At thesame time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests.

 They've been able to play resiliently and the results so far is fit to help them earn this ticket but the difficulty they may face this season is the trophy of the Serie A, the top contenders won't let it slip away from them, they're in their own way and end putting streanous efforts to ensure that they get the maximum number of points to keep the gaps and help them win the trophy. There's still time to make a difference but they themselves know it's not going to be as easy as it ought to be considering the intensity in games this season. I just would advise that they focus enough strength on Copa Italia as it seems feasible enough to attain than the Serie A trophy.
