This season, Lens can be behind Paris Saint Germain and only have 1 point difference, it gives a signal that Paris Saint Germain is in a state that is not doing well. On the other hand, for Lens, if only they didn't experience a few slips, I think they would be above Paris Saint Germain, but it's a shame that unwanted things always happen and make them fail. Next season they will be in the Champions League and they have to be even better.

Barcelona has performed amazingly in La Liga this time. And Barcelona won the title, I would like to give credit to Xavi, the coach of the team, and Lewandowski, one of the attacking players, for making such a good thing.
Honestly Xavi really worked well for Barcelona I give much credit to xavi, I never expected Barcelona can be this good just in a short short time with xavi. When it comes to players xavi didn't fail in bring players like Lewandowski that also played a great role in making barcelona to achieve their goals.
Previously, there were many doubts that Xavi Hernandez would have an impact on Barcelona's game, but this was broken by Xavi by successfully giving a good game and presenting the title to Barcelona. But now the problem arises again, where Xavi wants to get more than what he is getting now regarding salary, and that seems difficult for Barcelona to fulfill. Financial problems became the main trigger.
Barcelona should not be silly with Xavi Hernandez. The Xavi I know cannot demand more than what Barcelona can afford.  I mean this is Barcelona legend we are talking about. A passionate one in that matter who came to Barcelona when an average coach would reject it.
He didn't bother about the peanut pay but worked very hard to even judiciously sign good players even when Barcelona were having financial issues.
Now Barcelona has been made great again, why try to keep him in the old peanut salary. Xavi deserves salary raise and every other incentives.
That's what they have to think about, he has shown that he can make Barcelona even better, they have to be able to grant Xavi's wishes and make him comfortable in the team. What he got at Barcelona deserved more than what he's getting at the moment, so Barcelona should be able to give Xavi Hernandez what he wants. His hard work has provided what Barcelona have been missing in recent years.

You are right the Sevilla team has not focused specifically on LaLiga for the Europa League. But in my personal opinion, Sevilla need to do great in La Liga too, because there are enough opportunities in this league. With nothing more likely to be done in La Liga this time around, it's only fitting that Sevilla do something great in the Europa League.
Very true. La Liga league is also very important to Sevilla, they need to put more energy in La Liga because they cannot continue
to always be  in their  poor performance in every season and take the excuse of putting more focus on the Europa League. it is important they considered their domestic League first before any other League.
After all they have to see La Liga as their first competition in competition, meaning they have to be able to improve themselves even more so they can compete strictly in La Liga. The season before they could do it and it proves that indeed if they are serious they can do something more in La Liga. The depth of their squad must be even better, because one of the factors they have to be pushed into the mid-table this season is that they have an unstable squad.

In the Champions League, Inter Milan overall played well and there is no doubt that Manchester City is difficult to penetrate the defense built by Inter Milan. It's just that the validity of the anticipation resulted in a wild ball that could be used as a goal by Manchester City. I think that was the only mistake made by Inter Milan, and it cost a lot with a goal that was created.

The Premier League has very tight competition from other teams, therefore teams are required to continue to develop much better.
currently the most competitive league is the Premier League even though man CIty has dominated in the last few seasons but that is inseparable from the strength and consistency of this team which is very good.
Next season, Manchester City will get more difficulty to protect their crown in Premier League because logically Arsenal would become stronger, same for Newcastle United. Manchester United, Chelsea can get improvement in the summer too.
Of course there is no guarantee that Manchester City will be able to maintain what they have achieved this season, because other teams will surely improve themselves even better to navigate the new season to come. On the other hand, even though Manchester City is in very prime condition this season, it is not certain that they will be able to maintain it, because the decline in the team's performance will be unpredictable, we can see from what Liverpool experienced.

Bayern Munich has not had its best season, but this season you always have once every 10 years. Bayern has now had it once, so it can probably be over. I doubt whether the current coach is the best trainer for this team. He has already coached several teams, but was only the trainer at all the last clubs for a very short time. That means that the teams in question or the board have not been satisfied with Tuchel. I don't know if he's the right person to get everything going. Maybe you should have gone for a slightly older and more experienced trainer than Tuchel?
True , they almost bottled the title at the last 5 matches.

Luckily dortmund the one that wasted the chance. Dortmund deserve for the title to be honest especially if you look at the reus story who haven't got the bundesliga title to lift in his whole life career. That's a shame. Next season going to be different as dortmund star bellingham has officially joined real madrid and at the other hand bayern will surely become stronger.
I see on social media, rather than seeing Borussia Dortmund win, football fans want to see Marco Reus lift a trophy this season. But that desire was destroyed as Borussia Dortmund failed in their last game to win, which in the end they had to be satisfied with the runners up they got this season. Again and again we are presented that it is not easy to overtake Bayern Munich at the top of the domination of the Bundesliga.

David Raya (Brentford) who performed very well for Brentford since their promotion is reported to be close to agreeing to personal terms with Spurs [1] and is gonna be a long contract. However, discussion between the clubs is still yet to happen but fee of around 40m Euro is reported to be set by Brentford.



40M is decent with the way he played for Brentford but Spurs thinks it is too high. Possible that both clubs will negotiate and come to a fee where both agrees on. Even 35m Euro would be decent for both considering Raya has set his mind to move and has one year left on his contract.

Reference:
[1] https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1667912742429159425

Yes he is one of the goalkeepers who has impressed this season, so I was not surprised when he ended up being looked at by one of the better teams than Brentford. I think it's a decent number for Raya considering her good performances this season. Yes, it is very likely that Tottenham will continue to negotiate to get a price agreement from both parties.

In the Champions League final match, what Inter Milan did was very impressive, because previously it was predicted that they would not be able to provide resistance to Manchester City, but on the contrary they were able to do very well. The first half they managed to hold on to a draw, and in my opinion the match was even from the two teams. One goal that was created was an error from Inter Milan, yes they anticipated wrongly and closed too late.

Congrats Manchester City won UEFA Champion League tittle

Finally, Manchester City success got treble winner in this season after winning Champion League tittle last night, Rodri goals helped Manchester City won Champion League tittle for the first time and excited with City achievement in this season after success get treble winner. I watched match last night and most excited exactly after Manchester City lead 1-0 from Inter Milan, the opponent teams has many attempt but Ederson made crucial.

Inter Milan has solid performance because success give huge pressure for Haaland and only has one attempt or shot on target, last night Manchester City not really dominance for creating attempt and Inter performance on second half was better by creating many attempt.
Well of course I would like to congratulate Manchester City on their success in winning the Champions League this season which was their first title, as well as they won the treble winner this season. This season they are playing very well and I would say they deserve to get a treble winner. However, in the final match that had just finished, it looked like they were still feeling high pressure so they didn't play as usual.

Marseille should learn their lesson from this result. They couldn't compete with Lens for the second position until the end of the season. Lens even completed the season 11 points ahead of them which is really a horrible look for Marseille. The second position was important because it is the last slot for the Champions League group stage. Lens definitely deserved that.

Marseille will have to play qualification games and I don't know if they can even reach the group stage for now. They will need to realize where they were doing wrong to not repeat it. The new season will start earlier for them so they had better prepare themselves well.
Marseille is actually playing very well this season but they still have to improve so they can be better and can be a competitor than Paris Saint Germain at the top of the standings this season they are another class with dance in second place but overall they are playing quite well. Inconsistency is a nightmare for all teams, not just Marseille, Paris Saint Germain also feels the same way.

Xavi is still remain unclear at this moment yet there was a news that comes for him.
Quote
Barcelona coach Xavi is demanding a €12 million net salary as talks over a new contract continue.

Cadena SER reports the former midfielder wants €30m gross for him and his staff to remain at Camp Nou beyond next season.
https://www.goal.com/en/news/live/transfer-news-and-rumours-live/blt1ccfda38eda06d5a

It seems like that the two trophies that have been achieved by him during the last season has been giving him power to push barcelona to pay him more than the last contract. I do support him to increase his salary from barcelona.
It's caused by xavi has been able giving two trophies for barcelona which is good. It's also making barcelona won la liga trophy again.

Xavi deserves salary increase at this moment. I hope barcelona will understand about the reason for xavi tries to ask more salary from barcelona. It seems like that laporta has no choice than approving his request to make xavi stay even longer in barcelona.
I agree with this, however Xavi Hernandez has proven that he can bring Barcelona to rise from adversity, and he confirmed that with the La Liga title this season. I also feel that he deserves a salary more than what he is getting now, his hard work should be appreciated. And they also have to remember how difficult the previous coach was when dealing with Barcelona.

Sevilla is the luckiest team I saw and they didn't have good players or even a good coach this season, also in most of the games, Sevilla couldn't even have a good performance and the only reason for them to win this title was using the mistakes other teams had and they also had enough luck to win the hardest games against strongest teams like Manchester United in this season.
That's why I can blame Roma and Mourinho for anything when they lost the game against Sevilla.
In football you need some luck to achieve some certain feats and that's why Sevilla players and fans are celebrating being  winners of this season's UEFA Europa League competition when it is very clear that Roma were the better side between them in the final.
However the Europa League trophy has been won already by Sevilla, so wether they were lucky or not they'll doesn't change anything in the history of the competition
Even though Sevilla don't have a very good squad overall, they are smart in taking advantage of opponents' weaknesses. And in smart football reading the game situation is very important and Sevilla can do that well. They even repeated the same strategy over and over again, they only aimed for a draw in the first leg, and in the second leg they beat their opponent at home, and it was very successful.

Ilkay Gundogan is getting old now and Kovacic is 3 years younger than him. Also, he has similar characters with Gundogan, so for Manchester City, this means continuing the same tiki-taka football with someone 3 years younger. I'm sure this could be a change Pep wants. Still, in football, I would like team captains to retire in that team. Gundogan can now return to Germany.
I'm more concerned about the deal involving Chelsea players, because despite their poor performance, it's my favorite club in the English Premier League, but allowing the old players who are almost out of contract with the club, Todd Boehly does not have any intention to persuade the players to extend but he remained composed, probably because he has learned the ways of the league.The cityzens are interested in Kovaiç, but more discussions will take place after the big game. Manchester City is more interested in a back-up to the outstanding German. Pep Guardiola admires Mateo Kovaiç of Chelsea, and the Croatian would relish the opportunity to play for the best coach in the English Premier League.

I think it's because the team is no longer interested in the player, so they stay calm when the player is hijacked by another team. Especially now that Chelsea has a new coach, and usually a coach has his own player criteria. This is in line with the strategy he will apply to the game later.
By the way, I haven't seen Chelsea move in the transfer market this summer, they are relaxed like last season.

Union Berlin was my favorite team this season and I was even hoping to see them at the top of the table and racing with Bayern Munich until last week when saw them having a bad performance because of having not enough potential for the rest of the season.
I think Union Berlin could have much better transfers and they could hire better players to help them in this situation.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E2%80%9322_1._FC_Union_Berlin_season#Transfers
There's no doubt that Union Berlin performed well this season especially during the start of the season and I can remember that they have been at the top of the table and have contested in several ways but it is unfortunate they were not the Champions and it is fortunate that they will appear in the Champions League.
The reason why they fluctuated in their performance was lack of squad depth. I believe they will fix the problem this season by signing more good players and players will likely reciprocate because they are now in European competition.
I agree with this, they need more solid players in the squad, the players they have this season have not been enough for them to maintain consistency so they have lost their place. They even lost their place before the first half of the season ended, because at that time I predicted they would maintain the top of the standings at least until the first half of the season, but in fact they didn't.

So far, I see that Real Madrid really wants to build a strong team squad. Apart from strikers and midfielders, rumors swirling from various European sports media say that Real Madrid will also strengthen the line at right-left back.
Real madrid know how to buy good players, they are good in selecting players that will eventually help their team to succeed, their biggest signing this summer is going to be Jude Bellingham, but they are going to make other very good buys, Benzema has left the club, so they have to replace him with a new striker. Chelsea's Kai Havertz is also wanted by Real madrid, with many other players too; the club only won the copa del rey this season, so they will want to buy enough players to make sure they challenge and try and win the big trophies again next season.

Jude Bellingham is the first step for them in making a transfer this season, because I believe they will make a big purchase to strengthen their squad. their first step was very good by signing Jude Bellingham, because he is a good player and has enormous potential. What's more, they also really need the player's position in Jude Bellingham.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 09, 2023, 09:27:20 AM
Bellingham's deal is done?

Huge move by Real, he will be one of the best midfielders in world football for the next 10+ years.

They now have 4 midfielders with huge potential (Bellingham, Tchouameni, Camavinga and Valverde) and are ready to start replacing their senior midfielders.
I'm glad that Modrić will be staying for another year - he deserves it. Not sure they will keep Kroos now, though.
Yes, Real Madrid managed to reach an agreement with Jude Bellingham to become one of the players listed in their squad. With Jude Bellingham still in sight, Real Madrid are looking for players who can replace the roles of their seniors who may not be in the squad for long, like Kroos and Modric for example. They also now have to find a striker to replace the role of Benzema.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 08, 2023, 06:26:04 AM
This year is over and the champion is now clear. I wonder what kind of squad they will compete with next year. I hope for a big title race between Chelsea, Arsenal, ManU, Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester City. Focusing on winning the biggest trophy this year, let's see if Manchester City can be successful this time.

Yes, Manchester City have proven their strength in the Premier League and they managed to become the defending champions.
For next season I actually think that the ones who will be very fierce in the race for the title will be Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal.
These 3 teams will be spectacular rivals in the coming season to fight for first place and of course there will be lots of surprises that will be given by Manchester United considering that this season they are starting to rise slowly so it is possible that next season they can really become strong team.
To be honest, I won't be too quick to say which teams will compete strictly for the title. The reason could be like this season, at the beginning many said Liverpool was a strong candidate to return to compete with Manchester City, but in reality they were not as expected. But predicting isn't wrong either, because we also have to consider everything that in the end we see that the teams will compete fiercely.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 08, 2023, 05:56:45 AM
I agree with you. If a group gradually becomes stronger. Then it has a long shelf life. The way the Roma team has performed in the last two seasons is absolutely commendable. Their squad was not very strong. Still, they managed to perform quite well
Roma did not spend enough money to build up their squad and with this, having 2 final matches in Europe just within 2 seasons is impressive. They even could win the Europa League final if luckiness and referee stand with them.

I expected Roma to win the Europa League final. But unfortunately, they could not win. If luck was with us, maybe the Roma team would have won the Europa League. They managed to perform well in the finals as well. A small mistake made them lose.

I also had hope that Roma would win the Europa League this season but it's a shame they lost on penalties.
But at least they have performed quite well and are satisfying because they made it to the final to fight for the title against Sevilla.

For the Italian Serie A, Roma played not so satisfactorily, they even had to finish this season with only 6th place.
Maybe next season Mourinho can correct some of the mistakes of Roma so that he can perform even better in the several leagues he will be running.
from the 2018/2019 season. AS Roma can only be in the European League places, they cannot improve to be in the Champions League zone. I personally have a different assessment of AS Roma this season, yes, by limping they can still be in 6th place, which is not a bad result in my opinion, yes, although it cannot be said to be a good result either. But at least they can still be in the European competition.

I think that match was such a smash because MC were playing at home (not the main factor) and took an attacking stance from the start. In their first match it was the same, only it ended around the 30th minute when there was a pause due to an injury to a MC player. In the return match this wasn't the case, MC played on the same wave, they didn't stop
Finals are usually neutral and this time the Manchester City vs Inter Milan match will be held at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, not at Manchester City's home ground. That's how I see it in the schedule that has been laid out for them although I also think that it won't be a problem at all for Manchester City and also Inter Milan as both will be looking to win their last game in the Champions League this season.
Manchester City and Inter Milan will play not at their headquarters and that is a neutral place. But I agree with you that it is not a problem for Manchester City and does not diminish their status as the favorites in this game. Wherever they play, they can always give their best in their game, I even think they will be 2x more motivated in the Champions League final this season.
