1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are banks against cryptocurrency? on: May 31, 2024, 03:50:49 AM
So what I'm ultimately getting out here, is that crypto currency can't go in line with banks. What are your thoughts towards this?
If the Bank is completely against bitcoin then we cannot convert bitcoin to fiat currency through the Bank's services. I think the Bank is not really opposing it but rather limiting it because they are worried that bitcoin will become a competitor and it is not the Bank that is opposing bitcoin but rather the government with its laws. I don't know how it is in your country but we have banking services to convert bitcoin to fiat and even taxes are regulated in such a way.

Every system that has been built will always be maintained by the government, in this case the bank as an institution providing money will think about how this system does not collapse. Banks are controlled by the government, while Bitcoin does not have anyone's control, so the government is worried about the development of adoption that will occur.
I agree with you, if banks really hate bitcoin and oppose bitcoin, we will no longer have the opportunity to use bank accounts to buy bitcoin. Just because they warn about bitcoin doesn't mean they hate it, they just want to protect their customers and they are following the law because bitcoin is still not legal in many countries.
Banks conduct their business through customers' money but when customers invest their money in Bitcoin with the help of banks, the bank will lose assets and their business will be affected. and because Bitcoin is still largely illegal, banks may be against it.  But all in all, if the banks were getting good profit from Bitcoin then they would be right to support Bitcoin instead of against it.

Many people are unnecessarily exaggerating about bitcoin saying that banks and governments are afraid of bitcoin. Think how bad things would be if the government actually cracked down on bitcoin, and the clearest example is the Nigerian government banning centralized, p2p exchanges, just those small bans have caused many traders to Investment faces many difficulties. If they really hate bitcoin and punish it more harshly, I think bitcoin's popularity will soon disappear. Don't underestimate the power of government.
Banks and governments fear Bitcoin because the high volatility of Bitcoin will always destabilize a country's economy if every country uses Bitcoin as FIAT money and if the government keeps Bitcoin as a reserve currency.  And if the bank supports bitcoin then the bank will lose their wealth because the customers will be more inclined towards bitcoin which is more profit from bitcoin than the bank. And even if the bank's money is under the bank's authority, Bitcoin is completely under its own control
It is true that bitcoin can bring higher returns than bank deposits but not everyone invests in it even if it is legal, not everyone likes the volatility of bitcoin. Just like until now, why do many people still choose to invest in gold and real estate instead of bitcoin even though it brings higher profits? So far, what percentage of the population has abandoned banks to invest 100% in bitcoin? According to the data I know, less than 5% of the world's population invests in bitcoin, do you think that affects and makes banks worried?

Even yourself, would you invest 100% of your money in a risky and volatile asset like bitcoin? I bet you wouldn't dare take such a risk either. So don't think that banks are afraid of bitcoin, they are afraid of users leaving them, that will never happen even if bitcoin becomes more popular.

I see people say Mbappe was not loyal to PSG because he didn't stay there and he left the team. While he didn't leave for money, he left because he wanted to play for the team he likes not for money and anything else. Mbappe played for years in PSG and to be honest he helped his team a lot and earned achievements in the past.
While now this can be hard for PSG to find a replacement for Mbappe since he has been playing there for years. However, Enrique said they would use the whole team to fill the place of Mbappe in PSG, which means instead of hiring superstar players they want to have better teamwork.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi have done his best to hold him back but Mbappe's mind is already made up and will the necessary runs for big winnings. Why blame and doubt the loyalty of Kylian Mbappe? He's now a full grown man and can take decisions by himself, he sat down and reason about his stay in PSG without winning any major trophies other than domestic titles, it's time for the Frenchman to break records.

Mbappe is a great player and one of the best players in the world. Mbappe's chances of winning the Champions League title with PSG are slim. Despite dominating Ligue 1, PSG failed to perform well in the Champions League. This is the main reason why Mbappe left PSG.

I would have been happy if Mbappe had left PSG earlier in the season. He is leaving PSG as a free agent this season. PSG have paid huge sums for Mbappe every season. Paid high wages. But PSG team failed to earn money by selling Mbappe. And that's why many say Mbappe is a bit greedy, and he's not loyal to the club. But I think Mbappe's decision to leave PSG is the right one. And this is the right time to leave PSG.

Pakistan seems to be in a horrible state at this point. After 14 overs, they are 126/6, with Iftikhar Ahmed and Shaheen Shah Afridi at crease. Pakistan top order did a decent job, but then there was a middle order collapse. England spinners were exceptional and picked up wickets at crucial intervals. Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone picked up two wickets each, while the seamers (including Mark Wood, Jofra Archer and Chris Jordan) went for more than 10 runs per over.

Pakistan lost all wickets today to collect 157 runs. The team could not complete batting in 20 overs. Pakistan had a good start today. I thought that Pakistan will play well and win today's match even though they have performed badly in the previous matches.

Pakistan's collection was 59 runs in the first 6 overs. After collecting 59 runs from the opening pair, Pakistan's innings stopped at just 157 runs. Usman khan scored 38 runs off 21 balls and Babar Azam scored 36 runs off 22 balls. The three middle order batsmen Fakhar Zaman, Sadab and Azam Khan batted very poorly. If these three batsmen play well, Pakistan team could have given a descent target in today's match.

sometimes he tells me that he's afraid to invest his money on the bitcoin due to the potential losses.

You potentially could lose everything you own. It's possible for your house to burn down, your bank to go bankrupt, your car to be stolen. Are you afraid it will happen? Are you losing sleep every night thinking about it? I sure don't.

Yes' there's a chance to lose everything when you buy bitcoin, but there's also a chance to lose it all when you continue to hold fiat money.
IMO buying bitcoin is one of the smartest things you can do in life.

Agreed that everything has risk and nothing is completely safe, but comparing losing our car or having our house burn down to investing in bitcoin is pretty lame. Incidents such as fire and theft are only rare incidents when we are careless or caused by mother nature and are very rare in life. Meanwhile, investing in bitcoin is much riskier because the market is like a battlefield, investing means you are on the battlefield and it will be much more intense than when you are at home.

Investing in bitcoin is a smart choice but if you are not ready then you don't need to invest in it and there are many other options available to you. Just like if you don't have enough skills to participate in the battlefield and stubbornly participate, it will only cause you to quickly lose your life.

6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exposure to bitcoin at young age on: May 29, 2024, 04:22:23 AM
Do you feel that all young guys should be informed and educated about bitcoin ?  
Yes I think that young people should be informed and educated about Bitcoin from a young age. Because young people decide from a young age in which direction they will direct their future. If they direct their future in the right direction, their future will be bright. And if they decide to follow the wrong path, their future will be dark. Similarly if they choose Bitcoin to brighten their future then it will be the best method for them.
If someone is experienced and invested in Bitcoin from a young age then he will have a lot of time in the future to invest in Bitcoin and learn about Bitcoin. Young age is the age of seeking knowledge. But we can't force young people to learn about Bitcoin, we have to make them interested in learning on their own accord.

I support introducing and educating young people about bitcoin, but I think that orienting young people is not simple and we should not only focus on bitcoin. Instead, if we intend to introduce bitcoin to them, why don't we provide them with financial knowledge so they can have a more general view? If we only focus on introducing bitcoin to them, it can be a double-edged sword if we do not manage and monitor it closely because the line between investment and gambling is very thin. Have you ever thought about the scenario where they will also invest in bitcoin but they don't hold it for long and get into futures trading or ponzi projects?

Furthermore, bitcoin is not the only way to make money in this world, so we should introduce them to many different ways to make money and let them choose the most suitable path for themselves. And we should educate them about the financial sector instead of just introducing them to bitcoin.

However, PSG is a very rich team.   They do not lack money. Nasser Al-Khelaifi will also spend big next season to find a suitable replacement for Mbappe.   However, selling Mbappe would have made PSG management more profitable.
The club management's decision to reject a big offer from Real Madrid has made them suffer huge losses this season. Mbappe left PSG on a free transfer. This means that Real Madrid got Mbappe for free. PSG lost a lot of money which could have been used to buy other players as Mbappe's replacement. But it makes perfect sense if PSG doesn't let Mbappe go because they don't want to lose their superstar.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi never lacks money to buy lots of players. But losing Mbappe is a loss that occurred due to mistakes by club management. I think Nasser Al-Khelaifi will not tolerate this mistake.

Yes indeed, PSG really lost Mbappe, because Mbappe is a young player with great potential but unfortunately, PSG's failure in the Champion League made Mbappe really leave. Even worse, last season PSG actually extended Mbappe's contract for only one season and thus, in the next transfer window Mbappe will leave for free as @Hanadawa has mentioned. Also, I think even though PSG sold Mbappe for a high fee but still, PSG still lost money for selling a great young player like Mbappe. But anyway, there is nothing else PSG can do to be able to keep Mbappe to stay at PSG, because PSG's failure in the Champion League makes young player with great potential seem like a waste of time if Mbappe stay at PSG.
He is considered right. Mbappe is one of the best players in the world right now. Of course, he aims for the best rewards. For this reason, he has set himself the goal of going to a bigger team. Paris Saint Germain benefited greatly from him, but the fact that such a talent leaves the team without earning a transfer fee will cost them a very high transfer income. Mbappe could have been a little more understanding and brought money to the team, but such a condition may have occurred in his agreement with Real Madrid.

It is true that Mbappe played very well with PSG. PSG management have provided Mbappe with plenty of opportunities, as well as high wages. But at the last moment, Mbappe caused a big loss for PSG. Mbappe did not allow PSG management to benefit from his self-interest.

Nasser Al Khelaifi tried to sell Mbappe last season. But Mbappe was reluctant to leave the team. Mbappe will leave PSG as a free agent this season. And Mbappe will get a big amount from the club that Mbappe will sign with. However, Mbappe has acted somewhat selfishly. But PSG management needed to be more aware.

You don't have to be salty when talking about these things. Roma did well under De Rossi, it's a shame they couldn't win any trophy, but they got to the semi-finals of the Europa and almost got a shot at playing in the Champions League.
De Rossi may not be a better coach than Mourinho, but please don't talk down on how he lifted the hopes of the players and the fans, he had them believing again because the team started playing better under him.

I don't think De Rossi is a better coach than Mourinho.   Mourinho is a very experienced coach. However, Mourinho was sacked by the management due to conflict with the Roma management.   However, after De Rossi took charge of Roma, the team was able to consistently perform well.   But Roma's good performance did not last long.

After De Rossi took over as coach, Roma played 26 matches and won 14 matches. De Rossi's win percentage is 53.8. On the other hand, under Mourinho, Roma played 138 matches and won 68 matches.   win percentage is 49.28.   So I can't say that De Rossi has been able to improve the Roma team much.   It is not possible to give a prediction about how the Roma team will play next season.

It was saddening me how martial is leaving from manchester united as free agent after being treatened like shit by ten hag. He deserves a better club to use his service. It's really saddening me caused by i was not able seeing him play in the main squad at the end of his career in manchester united.
I hope that he will get a good club as soon as possible. Let's see how good martial when he will be playing on his new club. Martial's career has been declining so hard after he was going to the manchester city.
Martial needs to ensure he will get the right place to continue his career like jadon sancho. It will help him to regain his performance again after he has been wasting a lot of time his united to did nothing.
Martial deserves a good place to treat him better than what united did. Good luck martial. You are a good player but you're not in the right place.
These are scenario that happens during his time as a Manchester united player and due to pressure on the manager, you don't expect him to start flavouring him when it's very clear that he is out of form, and greatly unreliable due to injuries,  so what I think is that he just need a change, but I don't think anyone is the cause of his misfortune at Manchester united.
Anthony Martial should be at another club, regardless of how this season he is considered not to have contributed but we also have to remember Sancho and at Dortmund he was able to prove himself that what Erik Ten Hag thought was bad was not true. Anthony Martial fate is not much different, therefore he must immediately look for a club that is ready to make him revive his enthusiasm and mentality again. Man United is not the end of everything because Anthony Martial journey can still shine if he is serious about getting up.



No one is actually surprised to see this. He had some problems going on with the current coach that Manchester United has. of course, if a player is feeling unsettled he is not going to perform as well as he should be.

When he was actually showing good potential, we all thought that he was going to be one of the best. Some people also thought that he had the capability of being better than Neymar. Well, that did not end up happening.

Any player who had shown great potential that went to Manchester United has actually not been able to reach the full potential that they had. I am not saying that all of it is the fault of Manchester United. But it is also true that Manchester United had something to do with it. I'm sure he will be able to perform better wherever he goes next.

I'm not a seer but I don't think there's much to talk about on this champions league final, these teams are incomparable in every aspect we use to rate a team such as experience, players and winning mentality. Unless football showcase what it knows how to do best, Dortmund can not in anyway win over Real madrid. If Madrid can play as a king that they are and not underrate Dortmund, I must congratulate them in advance because they are winning the UCL again this season.
In this champions league finals, anyone you come across clamouring for Dortmund to win the game with full confidence is just doing that and expecting luck to come shine on them to win the trophy, if not for that reason, it is very clear that Real Madrid will be the winner of this year’s champions league finals too. If it was with another different team stronger than Dortmund, the case would have been different and the odds of the game will also speak well for what the expected outcome of the game will be. The champions league trophy is known to be that of Real Madrid for many times they’ve set their foot into the final match, this time around and the circumstances on ground, you just have to believe that they’re winning it again to add to their number of UCL trophies. Let us all be expecting the unexpected from Dortmund, but Real Madrid still stands the chance to win the final than what Dortmund stands to win the final.
This game is going to be a very crucial match between these two teams who have struggled and fought it very hard to get to the finals here,Madrid were able to eliminate Manchester City and Bayern,while Dortmund eliminated Athletico and PSG to get to the finals, both have proven to be worthy of being here,but the reason most persons are clamouring for Dortmund is because nobody expected them to be able to reach here,and also,the fact that Madrid have a record of winning in the finals of every champions league they get to, people want that record to be broken,thats the reason they want Dortmund to win.
Exactly, and I am one of those who hopes that this final will be won by Borussia Dortmund, nothing against Real Madrid, but they always win, and it would be nice to see them lose a few times in the final, which if I am not mistaken in its long and glorious history has only lost three Champions League finals in the past. So a defeat every now and then fits!  Grin

Although I am not a Real Madrid fan. Even so, I think Madrid will win the Champions League final. And will once again bring home the Champions League title.   The Madrid team is very experienced. And Madrid's players are in very good form right now.   Although the performances of the two attacking players Vini and ROdrygo were somewhat erratic.   With the midfielder trio mastermind Bellingham, Toni Kross and Luka Modrich, Madrid's attacking players are able to perform well.

Dortmund's main strength is their defense. And because of the strong defense and descent match strategy, the Dortmund team managed to qualify for the final. I won't say that beating Real Madrid is absolutely impossible.   If Dortmund's match strategy is good, it is definitely possible to beat Madrid. But it is very difficult.

West Indies  vs   South Africa
I am disappointed with the performance of South African players against West Indies.   I thought I would see a better performance from South Africa in the upcoming T20 World Cup
It's really disappointing for any south African team fan because they lose consecutive three matches of the series and not only lose the series but they were being whitewashed too by the underestimate west indies who were unfortunately not even qualified for ICC T20 World cup previous year too but at this year they really show Thier magic and strength right before the world which will really raised Thier confidence and also they have edge of home ground so things will be under control for them.  While looking at West indies recent performance show how huge Thier have developed thier both bowling and batting side through which they brutally crushed thier strong opponent. Anyway congratulations to West Indies for phenomenal victory and hope south Africa will recovered after getting his fully strength squad

We know that West Indies team is strong in T20 format.   But it is really difficult to accept that a renowned team like South Africa will not be able to win a single match in the series against the West Indies.

South African players are talented as well as experienced. Even then the team was not able to perform well against the West Indies. The South African team did not get the expected performance from the three South African batsmen Ryan Rickelton, Matthew Breetzke and Adriaan Mulder. The performances of these three players were erratic. South Africa could not do well against West Indies due to batting weakness. South Africa will not be able to qualify for the semi-finals if the batsmen perform this erratically in the next World Cup as well.

This is football and surprises I meant to happen during the ending part of every season so Empoli winning Roma is not suspicious at all because they fought so hard to win and left the relegation zone so it is a good achievement because had it been they were relegated it would have taken them so many seasons to come back to the serie A and since Roma have already qualified for Europa league next season there was no need for them to stress themselves again so they didn't put more pressure in the game that was why Empoli defeated them.
I didn't watch this game but yeah it was a real surprise and Empoli managed to stay away from relegation, their main competitor Frosinone lost in the last match so they have to be relegated. As we expected AS Roma have secured tickets to the Europa League so whatever the result of the last match has no impact, I think in this case AS Roma is just helping Empoli to stay in Serie A.
Serie A only has one match left between Atalanta vs Fiorentina, previously this match was postponed because both teams had other matches in other leagues. At least this is a sign that Serie A is a little better because Serie A has 2 teams that reached the final in the European/conference league. Atalanta has won the Europa League then it's Fiorentina's turn.

I was very surprised by the result of this match.   Empoli is a relatively weak team.   I didn't think Roma would lose against such a team.   I thought the match was not a very important match for Roma. So maybe Roma can play for a draw in this match. However, Roma lost the match by 2-1.

The match was a do or die match for EMpoli.   The team was able to get out of the relegation zone as a result of winning this match. Empoli team could not qualify for next season's Serie A if they could not get 3 points in this match. Empoli players fought hard to win this match.   Empoli played well, at the same time I would say the team was very lucky.   Empoli scored their second goal in the 90th minute and won the match.

I think it is quite obvious that we are talking about ETH being obnoxious at this point with this title. City losing this cup isn't really that sad for City since they won so many titles so far, treble last year, four in a row league this year, it's all great for them. But they did something that really hurts everyone else because now all the annoying United fans and all the annoying ETH followers (and he himself) really makes it quite boring and annoying and they keep talking about their "big" achievement.

It is obvious that United sucks, I mean you can look at UCL and League situation they are in right now to see how terrible they are, just because they got lucky and won against City is not a reason to consider them as good at all.

Lol. No hard feelings though. Manchester City have done their part to make sure they win the FA Cup but they could not. This is not because they're not willing to add that to their baggage but simply because the luck was not on their side and even though they could not win the Match, they were able to play the United to stuppor. I think any united fan out there celebrating and jumping around should be ashamed because United really performed badly in this season and was only lucky to take the FA Cup. If I'm meant to rate these clubs by their performance across boards, Manchester City and Arsenal will always be favoured than Liverpool and Manchester united.

This is how much Manchester United has actually fallen. There was a time when if Manchester United was not able to win the English Premier League, they would have felt like they did not go well enough and they would be motivated and concentrated to win in the next season.

There is a reason why everybody talks about the history of Manchester United. And now they have finished mid table, they have not been able to do anything in the European competitions. they have only been able to win the FA Cup luckily, which I think if Manchester City had not made the defensive mistake towards the start, they wouldn’t have been able to win anyway, they are thinking they have achieved something big.

there are genuinely some people who actually think that this is a good enough achievement for Manchester United. I understand that they have been able to win against a very big opponent, in a derby match. of course, they are entitled to celebrate. But the way they are celebrating, it looks like they have one the English Premier League and the Champions League.

West Indies  vs   South Africa

I am disappointed with the performance of South African players against West Indies.   I thought I would see a better performance from South Africa in the upcoming T20 World Cup.   But after seeing the performance of South African players against West Indies, I don't think South African team is qualified to play in the semi-final in the next World Cup.

South Africa lost both the series against West Indies.   The South African team lost the first match by 28 runs and the second match by 16 runs. South Africa lost yesterday's match despite an excellent start by the South African top order.   South Africa collected 81 runs in 5 overs from the opening pair. Even then the team failed to win the match.
In second game west indies scored a target of 208 runs to south Africa. west Indies excellent innings played by Roston Chase of 67 runs. South Africa failed to chase this total in first 5 overs they made 81 runs after that their openers was gone they did not save their wickets and took pressure on himself. west indies wom the match by 16 runs.

As the two South African openers started very well. And collected 81 runs in 5 overs. I thought the match was completely under South Africa's control and South Africa would win this match very easily.   But after De Kock was out, no other batsman could stay at the crease for long.   South Africa lost the wicket of Hendricks in the next over.

South Africa's total was 81 in the first 5 overs.   But in the next 10 overs, the team collected only 61 runs.   And because of this bad batting of 10 overs, South Africa lost the match. Ryan Rickelton scored 19 runs off 17 balls and Matthew Breetzke scored 12 runs off 16 balls.   Because of these two innings, South Africa lost this match.

Milan vs Salernitana ended in a draw.
This time, quite disappointed with Milan. How is it possible that they can only draw from the bottom club in the standings? Yes, even though they are not chasing any more points, but as a close season match, the result should be good, especially against the lowest clubs. It's quite embarrassing to see the results, Milan could concede 3 goals even though they were ahead, very superior. Are Milan too underestimated or did they actually give Salernitana a draw? Because Salernitana is not that good either. only, Milan played pretty bad.

But never mind. Milan is essentially still in second place even though the final result of this match was disappointing. And on the other hand, Salernitana remains in the relegation zone.
Milan don't really have anything to fight for especially as it's the last game of the season and it won't affect their perch at 2nd place else you would have seen them fight till the end. For them, it was just to fulfill righteousness and nothing more, one could even say they were joking with the game.
Salernitana are a team that should work more on themselves rather than anything else because they've got good players that can stand their own no matter the opponents but when you are in a club were their morale is low, it will affect the performance.

AC Milan 3-3 Salernitana: Five things we learned – Giroud class and grazie Pioli            
1. Giroud showing his class one last time
2. Captain responds amid rumours
3. Dynamic down the left flank
4. An impressive first season by Pulisic
5. Grazie Pioli
See in details- https://sempremilan.com/ac-milan-3-3-salernitana-five-things-learned-2024

The result of this match was a little unexpected because I thought Milan was going to win this match pretty easily. They had started the match really well also. They scored too early goals in the first half. Salernitana scored in the 64th minute. when I saw Milan score their third goal in the 77th minute I thought it was over.

But it was just the start & it was a good comeback from Salernitana. They have been able to get one point from this match and they have performed really well to do that. I have to give them credit even though it is not going to matter. They are going to get relegated anyway. They have finished on the absolute bottom of the table. There are hardly any positives for them to take away. but I think getting one point against one of the strongest teams in the league is definitely a positive that they can take away from this season, at the end.

Milan finished this season in the second position. I believe they will be able to improve their performance more in the next season and genuinely compete for the league title.

The highly competitive qualifier match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals has already started, Hyderabad batting first in today's match. When Hyderabad decided to bat we thought maybe they would start with a cool head today but they didn't their opening batsman played poorly today too. Hyderabad's young opening batsman Abhishek Sharma looked to bat at a blistering pace early on, but he was dismissed by Boult after a few runs. Since Sunrisers Hyderabad's batting range is very long, they may not have much to regret as they still have many of the best batsmen at their disposal. In today's match, everyone is waiting to enjoy the batting of Head and Klassen, these two are very aggressive batsmen.
Just in the first over, Sunrise Hyderabad had a big loss. They already had lost their important wicket of Abhishek Sharma , and this is too much important player for Sunrise Hyderabad because he made 12 runs in 5 balls while Travis Head made just 1 off 1.
Now, the match has been dependent upon Travis Head to rescue Sunrisers Hyderabad. They cannot afford to lose him and he needs to plays the same as he played in the last match. If they don’t take the advantage of this then it would not be great and these types of chances would not come again and again. This time, also Travis Head not playing shots but Rahul Tripathi playing good.

Even if Hyderabad lose wickets quickly, I would say today's match will be one of the high scoring matches of this year's IPL. Both Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals have a very strong batting order.   Rajasthan Royals have the potential to win even though Hyderabad have given a target of 220-240 today.

Hyderabad lost 3 important wickets in 7 overs. Marakram and Abhishek are not batting well today. Despite losing three wickets quickly, Hyderabad collected 81 runs in 7 overs. The team managed to collect an average of 11.5 runs per over. Although Trent Boult gave 32 runs in 3 overs, Boult took all three wickets.

I would say Bengaluru lost this match due to erratic performance of their batsmen and poor fielding. The Bengaluru fielders missed several fieldings and catches in the first 10 overs. Moreover, the performance of Bengaluru's bowlers was not very good. The bowlers could not put the Rajasthan batsmen under any pressure.

To be honest, I am very disappointed with the performance of Bengaluru's batsmen in this match. Rajat Patidar scored the highest 34 runs for Bengaluru. As the pitch was batting friendly, 172 was not a good enough score on such a pitch.
Royal Challenger Bangalore has quite a few positives to take away from this season. They were at the bottom of the points table for so long, but in the end managed to enter the playoffs. And then they had a close match against the powerful Rajasthan Royals. If some of their top players such as Cam Green, du Plessis and Maxwell can support Kohli during next season, then they can give a try for the trophy. But rather than batting, it was bowling that was their major weakness. They need to get rid of the out of form Siraj.

None of us expected to see Bengaluru in the top four of the table and qualify for the playoffs.   For a long time, the Bengaluru team was at the bottom of the table.   Bengaluru won only 1 of the first 8 matches. Bangalore then made a memorable comeback. And won 6 matches in a row. I would say Bengaluru were very lucky to qualify for the playoffs.

I don't consider Bengaluru team as favorites against Rajasthan. Although Rajasthan was not in good form, Rajasthan's overall performance was better than Bengaluru's. On the other hand, the performance of both Bengaluru's batsmen and bowlers was erratic.   This is why the team was lagging behind

The season has ended and next season Paris Saint Germain will certainly not have the players they have always relied on, they will have to lose Mbappe because they decided to leave Paris Saint Germain and look for an even bigger challenge. I want to see what they will do next, who other star players they will bring in, because right now I think these players are comfortable with their respective teams.
Even though most of the players are now very comfortable with the team they are currently playing for, PSG itself will also try to monitor the market in order to find a player who is worthy enough to replace Mbappe. Although this will certainly be quite difficult for PSG because now the best players on other teams won't just want to move if they are comfortable enough with the team they are currently in. But PSG's task is to search even though the conditions are not easy enough for them.
Losing Mbappe means PSG has to look for a replacement to be able to start next season with new players, but if you look at Luis Enrique, he is a coach who likes to play with talented young players, PSG also has many good academics. ,will Luis Enrique run next season trusting his young players? that could happen.

However, if you look at Nasser Al-Khelaifi, he certainly wants good and experienced star players, because he really wants his team to win the Champions League, therefore there will definitely be a replacement for Mbappe next season. Currently, many names of Mbappe replacement players have emerged, one of which is Rafael Leo with his good performance with Ac Milan, I think this is the right choice to replace the vacant position at PSG.

Luis Enrique knew from the start of this season that he would no longer have his best player Mbappe with the squad next season. And so he wants to stabilize the PSG team without Mbappe.   Despite Mbappe being fit, we saw Luis Enrique resting Mbappe. And allowed other players to perform in Mbappe's place. Luis Enrique has experimented with the PSG squad this season.

PSG management is very rich. They have a lot of money. So next season Luis Enrique will be able to add the players he wants to the squad. I don't think PSG management will have any hesitation in spending money to buy players.   Luis Enrique will surely build a squad capable of performing well in the Champions League next season. However, we still do not know anything about which player Luis Enrique will add to the squad as Mbappe's replacement.

my post is a little late, but I must say that I'm not very surprised by this result, Atalanta beat Liverpool in that competition, so it was already clear that Atalanta could beat big teams, also Leverkusen in this competition despite having arrived In the final, in my opinion, they did not present a solidity equal to Atalanta in terms of performance in this competition and this could mean that Leverkusen could have a bad performance in the champions league next season. Most teams that perform well in the local league and do not have a coach with great experience in European competitions tend to fail in European competitions.

Congratulations to Atalanta for the great achievement
I didn't understand anything from the Leverkusen game this evening. Atalanta made them look very ordinary. Atalanta acted like Leverkusen wouldn't score even one goal in the full 90 minutes. Atalanta is an Italian force with an attacking style that isn't typical for Italian teams. Imagine beating Liverpool at Anfield easily. Bayer Leverkusen was prepared for Atalanta FC but wasn't ready for Lookman, who saw through their defense.Leverkusen's charm has ended; they only performed well in the Bundesliga. I think Xabi Alonso became complacent. How can he start with six defenders, four midfielders, and no forwards? This was a tough lesson for Alonso from an Italian expert, and it will benefit him in the future. Congratulations to Atalanta FC.

I haven't seen a worse performance this season than Leverkusen. The Leverkusen team was in very good form. But still the Leverkusen team played very badly against Atalanta. We don't see any strong attack from Leverkusen in this match. Atalanta's dominance was visible throughout the match.

Atalanta winning by a big margin of 3-0 was beyond my expectations. I expected to see a competitive match. But the match was completely one-sided. We only saw Atalanta's dominance in this match. Players from both teams had 10 shots each, but the interesting thing is that Atalanta had 7 shots on target. Atalanta's every attack was sharp and powerful.
