Liverpool will need to learn their lesson from their mistakes during this season. Klopp's effort wasn't enough to carry the team to top four in the final moments of the season. They started a consistent form very late in the season that it wasn't enough as a result. Qualifying for the Europa League should be considered as a quite unsuccessful result for this team.

Because in fact the player quality is very high now. But the team lost a lot of chemistry and stayed that way for a long time. Mane's departure also affected them in a bad way. Especially Salah I mean because he had big problems on playing comfortable without him for a while.

Verstappen has a car which goes on like it is on rails. There is just no competition for him compared to other teams. And combining this powerful car with a very talented driver like Verstappen results in this. It was a very easy work for Verstappen. He was even so comfortable to go for fastest lap by pitting for fresh soft tyres. He must be getting bored all alone so we sometimes hear him talking to the team about some things. 

It was really good to see a big performance by Mercedes drivers. But I still can't be sure about whether this performance would be consistent from now on. Because we see quite different results on different tracks for them.

Yeah I remember those times as well. They looked really promising for even the Bundesliga title but it was still hard to believe in them until the end of the season of course. But it was still great to see them maintaining their mathematical chance for the title for a long time period. They even weren't far away from the leader in points in this time period.

I don't know anything about their transfer budget but they really need to make some new transfers to consolidate the squad for the Champions League indeed. The current quality level is nothing higher than the Europa League in my opinion.

It is very impressive to see Heat doing this great this season even in the absence of one of their most important players who is Tyler Herro. That is a big dedication example by them. They started the final series 1-0 behind against Nuggets maybe but I don't think this series will be easy for Nuggets either. I hope to see 7 games which would be lovely to watch.

There is less than an hour left for Game 2 to start. Caleb Martin's condition is still questionable. His score contribution has also been valuable for Heat. It feels like Nuggets will get another win home.

Newcastle were the most surprising team of the season by finishing as the fourth. Honestly I wasn't expecting to see them doing a this big work from them because of not strengthening the squad too much. They had an average level of players mostly in the end. But Eddie Howe still did a great work by the right strategies. Of course they made some decent transfers which played an important role in this success.

Right now they have reached their target to ease making bigger transfers. Because the Champions League ticket can have a big influence on the decisions of bigger names. This team have such a potential now and bringing solid names can make them become more competitive in not only the Premier League but also the Champions League.

As far as I know Vinicius Junior has already made a statement that he was eager to stay at Real Madrid. It would have been meaningless if he decided to leave just because of racist actions of some supporters. In the end these unfortunate incidents can follow him wherever he goes. It is the best for him to stay there and fight for Real Madrid's successes for long years.

He has a great chemistry with the team now as he is the most performing member of the team. The links with Chelsea are indeed fake ones and on Transfermarkt it is even indicated as 6% probability of his transfer to Chelsea which is near improbable.

I'm also among the people who are expecting to see a much better effort from Sevilla in the La Liga next season. I think and hope that this bad look was a one-time thing for them. Because I don't remember them this much bad in the recent years. They have like always been in top 4 by finishing as the third or fourth. This season it took them a long time to pull themselves together but they made it anyway.

Even in a season like this they proved that they can win a prestigious title like the Europa League one. Mendilibar looks like the right manager for this team now.

Despite not being the champions in the Serie A and being out of the title race a long time ago as well, Inter still won two titles so far which is very impressive. This season can be called as very successful for them for certain. Because in addition to these championships they are about to play in the Champions League finale against Manchester City.

Even though they are the underdog side in that game it is still a big success. I don't think Inzaghi would be criticized if they lose this game. But I'm pretty sure they would do their best. The board must be planning to go on with Inzaghi for a longer time.

For a moment I doubted Benfica about making it to the league title. Because especially after that draw on the previous week made the point gap with Porto 2. This helped Porto keep their chance for the league title even on the final week. But getting a clear win against Santa Clara sealed the deal for the championship for Benfica of course.

It was still a hard-fought win in the final moments and they finally put an end to their longing of three years for the Liga Portugal title. There is a serious level of drop in Sporting's effort which led them to join the Europa League this time. Sporting are having serious issues with going back to their competitive times in the league.

Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Leipzig are regulars in the Champions League from now on. But Union Berlin is the new member around here to join along them there. After competing in the Europa League they surely gained some experience in a European tournament. But there is still a big difference between the Europa League and Champions League.

If Union Berlin don't get lucky with group stage draw then they will most probably experience the tournament by being beaten hard. But the most important thing for them is to make as much money as possible in this tournament now.

Manchester City are on their way to make triple by winning the Champions League as well. Guardiola is having his best season with the team right now depending on whether they win the Champions League finale as well. On paper that game is also clearly winnable for the Manchester team. It is all about not underestimating their opponent even a bit.

Guardiola's target has been to win the Champions League title with this team all along. He hasn't been intending to leave without achieving it. If they win the title officially then I wonder how long we will be able to see Guardiola in his job right now.

All the weather report seems to have changed for tomorrow as well. There isn't any expectation of rain at race time according to my source either. This would just secure a win for Verstappen even more as long as he doesn't any issue with the car. Sainz and Norris captured the second and third positions in the qualifying maybe but I wonder what they will do in the race.

There is a big chance for Ferrari and McLaren both to be on podium this time but let's see. As overtaking isn't an easy task on this track these two drivers can turn it into an advantage for themselves. But pit strategies are also going to be very important in maintaining position.

Honestly Alonso seemed inconsistent in the practice sessions. In Q2 he was definitely great but in Q3 there wasn't such performance by him. Verstappen was ahead by 0.6s. But qualifying sessions are nearly always trickier than practice sessions. Actually I don't see any drop in performance from Verstappen unless he has some problem with the engine or some other crucial part of his car.

Alonso still has a big potential to take the second position for the race. Maybe we might even see a similar fight he had with Verstappen for pole position in Monaco. But in the race I don't think an Aston Martin car can catch up with Verstappen under normal conditions. 

None of the games today carries any importance about a target such as to qualify for a European tournament or to not relegate from the league. But it isn't the case for tomorrow of course. Atalanta, Roma and Juventus all doesn't have any chance left for the Champions League. However the first two teams are at least trying to secure a spot in the Europa League.

Juventus are the one chasing them one last time to steal one of their positions. Let's say Juventus managed to get a quota in the Europa League I wonder whether there would be one last chance for them to join the Champions League instead. Because if their punishment is removed again then they take Milan's position from them right away.

Atletico Madrid have made it to the Champions League by finishing the season at the third position. This is thanks to the high improvement in their form after a point during the season. They maintained a lasting winning streak and this made them even competitive for the second position as they finished only one point behind. This can all seem like a very good thing for Atletico Madrid.

However as I said before I don't think the general look of the season was good for them at all. Their Champions League effort was poor. They didn't start and maintain a good form in the La Liga which caused them to be out of the title race very early either. But now I see that they are still moving on with Simeone. This makes me think like they will continue with him until the end of his contract (which is the summer of 2024) and then decide what to do with him.

There are only two hours left for the FA Cup final game between the Manchester clubs. It is nice to see this big game in a big stadium like Wembley. The atmosphere should be incredible in this game there. Manchester City are still the obvious favourite to reach the cup at the end though. But there is nothing certain before seeing the performances of course.

Manchester United are doing much better than the past thanks to Erik ten Hag's management. They beat Manchester City in Old Trafford before in the season we've just left behind. If he develops the right strategy against this very tough opponent again who knows maybe they can make it to the title. But if they give full control of the game to them then there is no way they are winning this.

Mateo Kovacic is technically one of the best Croatian midfielders right now. Since the date he joined Chelsea from Real Madrid he has managed to increase his market value as well. But it looks like they are about to part ways with him and he is very likely to sign for Manchester City soon. His transfer fee is said to be around 35 million euros which is still below the price they signed him for first.

I wouldn't have expected Chelsea to sell him. Pochettino could have made use of a central midfielder like him a lot. There aren't many good central midfielders in the squad right now either. I hope they are planning to fill his place after selling him. If they sign a better central midfielder then there is no problem.

Marseille have been a big disappointment to me for this season. They couldn't even compete with Lens very well and they lost their position to them. Now Lens are going to be the one joining the Champions League group stage directly. Considering how strong Marseille started to the season I wouldn't have expected such result to be seen.

They have had serious level of inconsistencies after some time. I had doubts about Lens to do this much good but they really have done so far. They even maintained their title chance mathematically until the final weeks. Marseille need to learn their lesson from Lens' success to fight for the better next time.

No matter how hard they are trying Hamburg are about to lose another chance for the Bundesliga promotion. After leaving a long season behind I would have expected them to be more challenging for Stuttgart in play-out round. However they were a big mess in the first leg by losing 3-0. I don't think we would see any comeback in this matchup.

This is the second time in a row for Hamburg that they fail. They just can't get past their opponents in play-out so they should try harder for finishing in top 2 next time. I know they should be stronger than this normally. Otherwise how can they beat Bundesliga teams when they have a promotion? But they can at least reach their first target by making it back to the Bundesliga.

Everton barely saved themselves from relegation you know and it isn't the first time we see it happening either. They still can't find a solution to their horrible performance during a season. They actually don't have very bad players to cause this thing to happen. It is all about management of the team in my opinion. They deserve to be managed much better than this.

I don't think Sean Dyche is the right person to manage this team. I know it is hard to convince big names for this job but they can still find some reputable manager to start over and fight for upper positions in the standings.
