Both Real and Bayern are playing very well, both teams are attacking well, with Bayern launching dangerous counterattacks, one of which has already resulted in a goal. There are 5 minutes left until the end of the main time, Real are attacking especially aggressively at the end of the match, but I think that Bayern will still make it to the final and this year we will have two teams from the Bundesliga in the final.
ps Neuer just made a mistake, apparently it's going to be extra time
Manuel Neuer's blunder was really exploited by Joselu perfectly. It was a goal that changed everything for Real Madrid and now Real Madrid has secured victory to qualify for the final. I am very grateful for Manuel Neuer's mistake which saved Real Madrid's spirit to comeback from conceding 1 goal.

Joselu was the hero today with two classy goals at home. I am very excited for him even though he is actually a loan player who Ancelotti doesn't play often. All the players are happy and everyone is very excited after qualifying for the final for the 18th time so far, the title is almost certain to be in Real Madrid's cupboard.

Absolutely not offside the 2nd goal of Bayern although I am happy that Real won as I had bet on them to win and over 2.5 and both teams to score but I am sorry for Bayern as their second goal was void without being correct,the referees clearly favored Real in this game and what is done is done.
So, do you think the referee robbed Bayern Munich today?

The whole match actually turned sideways for me because what I expected would happen didn't actually happen and Dortmund are still leading and with the way I see things, it's definitely going to be Dortmund in the finals because I can't see PSG scoring an equalizer and also winning the game because that's the only thing that might give them hope of atleast dreaming of securing a place in finals.
You are right, PSG has lost hope of scoring 2 goals in the remaining match. Dortmund were very disciplined in defense and they were also lucky not to concede several goals from the chances created by PSG in the second half. Honestly, I was disappointed with what PSG showed in this match, they didn't seem to have more enthusiasm when playing at home.

The match is almost over and the tension is increasing. Dortmund will only defend completely while hoping to build a counterattack, but PSG still tries to score goals even though they always fail.

I totally agree that saving money during inflation is very hard. By the way it is  good to invest but first you need to make sure you have enough money for living expenses. You should have solid budget in place before investing and also save some extra money so you do not have to sell your investments when prices are low. Changing your investment plans because you do not have enough money can be annoying and costly. So I think it is good idea to build a portfolio and also save some extra money it's a smart way to invest.
Of course, you must have good planning before investing and expecting returns. Having a reserve budget is part of planning for every investor, but not everyone understands it. Having a reserve budget is necessary so that you keep your investment assets intact in the long term, while you can save and accumulate so that your portfolio continues to increase.

There are steps that must be taken before investing, but you don't need to prepare everything because you can still improve it as time goes by. The most important thing is that you have to have a safe budget to invest besides you need it to meet your living needs and a reserve budget.

PSG 0 - 0 Borussia Dortmund in Parc des Princes & 0 - 1 on aggregate.
That score right now is in favour of the Germans obviously, however I feel that PSG will score at least a goal in this match.
If Borussia Dortmund fail to score a goal, then we might see extra time and maybe penalties.

! Dortmund scored a goal !
Dortmund played very cautiously in the second leg, especially because they planned to maintain their aggregate lead. They scored a goal via a corner kick, it was a good goal that made Dortmund even more comfortable with a 0-2 lead on aggregate.

Of course, it is increasingly difficult for PSG to expect themselves to qualify for the final if they cannot score 2 goals now. Even PSG has really found it difficult to score 1 goal so far, of course this will make their chances of qualifying for the final even lower. I know there is still a chance for PSG, but I didn't see a really good performance from them until the 60th minute. Dortmund's defensive concentration has increased since they scored the goal, of course this will make it even more frustrating for PSG to score goals.

In the most important match of the week, Lille lost at home to Lyon. The 2 teams have different goals in the league and both need a win. Lille wants to finish 3rd in the league while Lyon wants to finish in the top 5. The match was very exciting and I honestly didn't expect such a comeback from Lyon. It was great for Lyon to have this kind of comeback on the road. With the point they got from this match, they managed to get one step closer to the top.
Lille failed to win maximum points in the home match which in turn meant they failed to take advantage of the draw experienced by Brest to get the same points. Lille certainly still has a chance to qualify for the Champions League next season if their performance improves in the remainder of the season, but of course it will be difficult because Lille and Brest only have 2 more matches until this season end.

Lyon is certainly happy with Lille's victory, but Lille certainly regrets it very much. Lille will play Nantes and Nice in the remainder of the season, while Brest will try to maintain a 2-point gap from Lille when they face Reims and Toulouse in the remainder of the season. Both teams are fighting for Champions League tickets, but I think Lille is almost certain to fail due to that defeat.

Of course, we must have the right strategy in managing funds and managing assets by utilizing various plans that have the potential to grow the value of assets from bitcoin investment, the perfect combination of maximum financial management, having emergency savings in cash and having potential assets for long-term profits in bitcoin, gold and property.

You don't have to have alternative income to support funds to increase investment because not everyone is lucky to get another job for alternative income, but focus on utilizing current income to divide part for emergency savings and part of other funds for DCA investment in bitcoin assets.
Saving funds during inflation is not as easy as it sounds, I can actually say it is very difficult. Building an investment portfolio at this time is certainly important and worth the effort, but not necessarily if you don't have secure budget support. Of course you should prioritize living needs instead of building an investment portfolio, that's what I think.

Even if you manage to save, you still have to have a reserve budget to keep your investment assets untouched for sale. Changing investment plans due to budget requirements is very unpleasant, especially when the price is not profitable to sell. So make sure you build a portfolio while having a reserve budget too, that is a good plan for investing.

Looks like it's time for the fans to restart the TenHagOut hashtag now lol.
)
Even if Ten Hag can be fired at the end of the season, I am sure Manchester United's performance will not greatly improve with their new coach next season. Ten Hag has maximized the potential of the existing players to make a difference, but whatever he does ultimately doesn't produce something that the fans can appreciate.

I know fans expect more from him, but it's never easy. Bringing in a new coach next season will not solve many problems, except for fans' feelings of joy over the dismissal of Ten Hag, who is considered useless. Bringing in more new players would cost Manchester United a lot of money, it is simply impossible to do. Player injuries greatly influenced the final decision made by Ten Hag in the 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, I understand this considering that Ten Hag did not have many options to improve his team's game.

PSG don't have a game for this week and that really works for them ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg against Dortmund. PSG, who have to overcome a 1 goal deficit from Dortmund, have prepared themselves well to host their opponents at home, while Dortmund, who won 5-1 over Augsburg, will come with their best morale.

The match is expected to be very close from the first half, but I would not be surprised to see Dortmund focus on defense while taking advantage of opportunities to build counter-attacks. Dortmund have a good defense as they proved in the first leg, but I'm sure PSG will score from the first half. I'm looking forward to that.

Instead of winning the match and being ranked 6th, it seems that Manchester United seems likely to lose badly to Crystal Palace in this match. I really didn't expect Crystal Palace to score 4 goals at home when they had to face Manchester United, but this is an unavoidable reality because Manchester United's defense is really very bad.

Ten Hag tried to improve it in the second half, but Crystal Palace, who had been ahead since the first half, got even crazier in the second half. At this time I don't expect Manchester United to concede again, but Crystal Palace still haven't reduced their attack intensity even though they are 4-0 up. Truly, this is the worst day for Manchester United in the first week of May.

When finding up the bottom then this is where i do agree on what you have said that majority will really be focusing or would really be that preferring that much on putting up that lump sum rather than on going with DCA on which we know that there are ones who do like on getting that all in on the bottom rather than on having that in averaging but well this is really that always falls down into someones interest
or their plans about into their positions. When it comes to strategies then it would really be that differ to each other and this is where traders and investors would really be making out their own  strategies.
Doesnt matter whether you would really be DCA or lump sum then it would be that depending on your own approach because market is unpredictable. There's no right or wrong on here with your decisions.
Of course, every investor is free to use any investment strategy that they think can produce better profits. Lump sum or DCA are basically fine to utilize, so I agree with both strategies when investors know when to use one or both at different times.

There are several investment strategies that are worth trying, here are excerpts:
I think everyone could find out more strategies that are shared publicly online. They just need to use the keyword "Investment Strategy".

  • Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)
  • Value Cost Averaging
  • Averaging Up

It seems that things are just falling in place for the citizens this season. When you are good, you are just good and you won't need so much efforts to make things happen.
  • Erling Haaland is not that great this season and now he is going home with the highest goal scorer.
  • Manchester city is not that great this season but then they are going home with EPL title.
I really thought anyone else could win the golden boot and not Haaland. Salah who is supposed to give the fight is far from the battle ground.
Haaland may not have been more successful this season than last, but he is a good center forward so far. Manchester City failed to defend its Champions League title this season and has paved the way for Real Madrid to try their luck in the semifinals. It is difficult for any team to maintain that in two consecutive seasons, let alone repeat the same success as Manchester City in two different seasons.

Haaland has scored 25 goals in the Premier League this season and he has done so in 28 appearances. This season there has been a decline in Haaland's goal statistics, but he is still the top player in the Premier League so far. Alexander Isak and Cole Palmer are second and third in the hunt for top scorers, but each of the three still has the opportunity to increase their number of goals until the season ends. Manchester City is only struggling to defend the Premier League title and also the FA Cup title, those are the two titles they are most likely to get after failing in the Champions League.

It's true, as far as I can see, Mbappè and Dembele feel frustrated because their mentality really can't be said to be strong when they are in big competitions and away from home at opposing clubs, in fact they were not good when they met Barcelona in the first leg which caused them to lose so Luis Enrique must provide good motivation so that the players can have a strong mentality and not feel nervous when they want to score a goal.

Every player must try to perform as best as possible no matter what, no matter what the opponent they face has equal or better performance, the most important thing is that the players have a strong mentality even when playing under pressure, big competitions have difficulties that exceed domestic competitions. Players must be good at using rhythm to keep up. balanced on the field, Dortmund has a good mentality on the field even though they often sell important players but in fact they still have players who have a strong mentality.
Dortmund is not better than PSG from a mental perspective, but Dortmund play better when they have a high spirit to win. PSG seemed to lack high fighting power where several players did not give their best 100% throughout the match. They lock themselves up by playing as they are without any interest in giving more. Dortmund have that and they have no fear of facing anyone, in fact they can foul anyone when there is danger to their defense.

Dortmund is a good team to put on a good game. They can defend, attack and withstand PSG's high pressing, but I think everything could change when they are not playing at home. There is an extra spark for Dortmund whenever they play at home, but it won't always be there when they play away. From that reason, I think PSG can take control of the match and win an important victory in the second leg, but both teams have the same chance of qualifying for the final.

Even before the game started it was very easy to predict that Manchester City would defeat wolves and it won't take them difficult. The league is becoming tough and interesting, Manchester City are just after arsenal to get to the top of the league.  Manchester City with so much experience and quality squad I don't think it will be easy for Manchester City lose point. Manchester City going out from the champions league was a big lose to them which I don't think they will let the Premier League title to go off their hands. Manchester City are still the favourite to win the league this season.
Many users basically believe that this is an easy match for Manchester City. Wolves indeed surprised many parties, especially when they beat Manchester City at the start of the season with a score of 2-1, but Manchester City managed to avenge that defeat with a score of 5-1 at home today.

One of the things that is most talked about is probably not about the team's performance as a whole, but rather Haaland's 4 goals which have led him to lead the Premier League top scorer with a total of 25 goals. Haaland is a robot, that is the right expression for him.

Thank you Girona for helping Real Madrid win the title more quickly this season. Girona successfully beat Barcelona, ​​the score was 4-2, it was their fantastic win this season against Barcelona. Girona has really become the most frightening threat for Barcelona this season by winning the home and away matches with a score of 4-2 and 2-4. Barcelona had to admit defeat and it was clearly a bad when they lead by many statistics.

I know that Barcelona is in a slump and they tend to fail to maintain consistency in their game. In fact, they could play well and score lots of goals, but the connection between players and poor finishing caused an unexpected defeat. However, I am happy, of course, because Real Madrid can prepare to celebrate their victory in La Liga this season without worry.

Football can be unpredictable most times. And for now, Arsenal is lucky to be on top of the league table because Manchester City still have one outstanding game ahead to play. I don't know why but am having this strong feeling that Arsenal might lose tomorrow against Bournemouth and the reason is because the Mikel Arteta and Andoni Iraola are kind of partners once and they know a little about how the both of them think when it comes to game like this. Arteta might use what he knows about Iraola against him in the match tomorrow. However, i am predicting the match a goal goal match where both teams will score before the end of the game.
Your gut feeling can be considered as a risk of a match, especially regarding the outcome. However, I don't know what Bournemouth's motivation would be to win the match or at least draw against Arsenal if it wasn't to help Manchester City defend its title for the fourth consecutive season. This is clearly not what Arsenal wants, but everyone seems to believe that Arsenal has the extra energy to secure 3 points in their home match.

I am also sure that Arsenal will not make mistakes in their home match so that Manchester City will take advantage of this. Arsenal must continue to win matches for the remainder of the season so that they can still hope to win the title. If Arsenal draw then Manchester City will be free to lead the standings until the end.

Basically, AS Roma still has a chance to qualify for the final round if they can win with 3 goals (without conceded a goal) at least in Leg 2. However, if we consider the performance of AS Roma in Leg 1, it is very doubtful that AS Roma can score 3 goals in Leverkusen home. They even failed to score a single goal at their own stadium, how they score a goal in Leverkusen stadium?  Roll Eyes As this is very difficult to happen, I can agree that Leverkusen has secured their position in the final round.
This possibility will be fought by Roma in the second leg, but everyone knows that it is a super difficult mission. So far Leverkusen have been very difficult to beat, this has been a perfect season for them and everyone admits it.

Roma still have a chance to qualify, but I would say it is a hope that is difficult to come true. They will try their best and appear totally attacking from the first half, but if Leverkusen is able to score 1 goal then it is clear that Roma's chance of coming back is 99% gone. Leverkusen is the favorite to qualify for the Europa League final this season, the probability is very high.

-snip-
Everyone must think the same, Leverkusen should win the trophy of Europa league this season. There is no other teams that have most consistent performance like Leverkusen. Leverkusen is showing an incredible performance during this season, no team can defeat them. They probably will secure the UEL trophy and unbeaten status in this competition.
I agree with that, but it is not impossible for Leverkusen to fail in the final.

I do agree that fans of clubs like Barcelona keeps expecting at least one cup per season, and if you end up with zero cups for the season, they will end up wanting more and will be quite upset. Barcelona end up being quite upset because they ended up with nothing this season and that of course upsets the fans, but to be fair they are growing and getting better.

With all the young players they have, they are getting better, they are going to get rid of some of the players that gets paid a lot, and will replace those players with cheaper ones as well next season, and not only they will do better financially, but they will also be able to sell these young players for a lot of money to recover from their debts in the future as well.
Every big team certainly has a target that they must achieve at the end of each season, regardless of whether it is a domestic title or a title in a European zone competition. Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and several other La Liga teams certainly expect that, so it makes sense why most coaches are fired because they fail to win the title in one to two seasons.

Barcelona's poor performance this season in the domestic league and Champions League means they failed to win a single title. They failed in the Copa Del Rey, they also failed in the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga and also the Champions League. Barcelona must face the reality of fasting for a title after winning two domestic titles last season, while Real Madrid still has hopes of securing La Liga and also the Champions League. Barcelona's lack of consistency has been welcomed by Real Madrid this season, but I understand why Barcelona is the way it is.

I think, PSG can qualify for the semifinals also only because of luck because in the second leg Barcelona only played with 10 players but anyway, the reality is that PSG always falls behind first. So, if for example PSG no longer get the same luck for the second leg against Dortmund later, then PSG will also still fail. But indeed, as a home team in the second leg later, PSG will still have a chance to win because of course, the 1-0 aggregate is really a score that is not entirely safe. So indeed, I also admit that PSG still has a chance to win but for some reason, I think Dortmund will still be able to maximize the aggregate victory it has.
PSG can still hope for a lot in the second leg of the semifinals at home, of course that's because they only need to overcome a 0-1 deficit as a temporary aggregate. The problem that needs to be avoided is, they must avoid conceding additional goals from Dortmund in the second leg. If PSG concedes another goal in the second leg, then they will have to try to score 2 goals to force Dortmund into extra time, but PSG is believed to be able to complete its mission this season to qualify for the final.

I admit that PSG is not the favorite team that is expected to qualify for the final since this season started, but in the end they can open many eyes to accept the fact that PSG has the possibility of getting it. If they qualify for the final, then Luis Enrique has really made a big impact on the team even though he couldn't win the title.

The big winnings is necessary. Bournemouth is average team and it takes quite bold steps to levelled scores with firing Gunners. We all know how competitive Arsenal have been this season, and their close range with Manchester City. Arsenal is in their prime and they've secured their golden opportunities to grab the EPL title this season. Mikel Arteta will not let down his guards because he's ambitious and have been doing exceptionally brilliant towards their opponents.
Arsenal so far have not secured anything, they only have a chance to stay at the top of the standings if they are able to win tomorrow's match. If Arsenal is able to beat Bournemouth, then that means Arsenal still has a 1 point difference over Manchester City if City also wins against Wolves. If Manchester City and Arsenal both win the next two matches, then Arsenal will still lead, but the standings will change if Manchester City wins the postponed match against Tottenham.

So make no mistake, Arsenal is not yet safe from remaining at the top of the standings. There is a tough match against Manchester United on their schedule for the rest of the season, so it is not true that Arsenal have secured the golden ticket to win the Premier League title this season.

Currently bitcoin price got many correction but price keep stable above $60k in this week, I think little difficult for dropping around $40k to $30k or get drop almost 50% for bitcoin with currently price. Halving have been over and many investor although not really excited for holding their bitcoin before halving time I think bitcoin will not drop drastically, usually bitcoin has good moment one or two months later after halving will get recovery to higher price.
I doubt with this possibility bitcoin will drop around 40% to 50% based on OP speculation, bitcoin holder still strong indeed get many bad news every day and many investor try to buy back during good moment after bitcoin get down few percent. Optimist with bitcoin will bounce again to higher price and reach back to $70k or possibility make new ATH in near future.
Bitcoin lost more than 10% of its price in the last 30 days, while in the last 7 days it lost more than 8% of its value. This indicates a higher sell-off where the price corrected, but of course I would consider it just short-term volatility.

I don't think bitcoin prices will drop as low as $40k again this year. Prices tend to be expected to rise higher as demand increases, but small corrections are always possible and will certainly be very difficult to avoid. Even if bitcoin were to test a lower support level, then there should be a good reason why that would happen. I don't see any good reason at the moment to predict the price dropping to $40k or lower, it's possible but very hard to imagine.
