Girona ended any remaining hopes for Barcelona to compete for the first place in standings today, now officially Real Madrid won LaLiga trophy for the 36th time in their history. For me what was more impressive is Girona's ability to secure a 4-2 win against Barcelona once again, after they did it in first leg, totaling 8 goals over both legs in H2H. This unexpected and impressive performance from Girona put them to second place, ahead of Barcelona. On the other hand, Real Madrid is looking for a double trophy this year if they can advance to the finals against Bayern Munich in UCL. Meanwhile, Barcelona is desperately in need of fresh talent and a new coach after several missed and disastrous years.
For the first time in the history of Girona, they'll be playing in the UEFA Champions League competition next season thanks to an impressive season that they were able to finish in the top four of the Spanish La Liga table. At the start to the season, Girona were simply the best Spanish team and would continue with their incredible performances till sometime in December that they lost their place at the top of the Spanish La Liga table to Real Madrid who were helped by Girona's win today against Barcelona to win the Spanish La Liga title. Girona at a point were beginning to underperform which gave so many people concerns if they'll be able to finish the season in the top four of the Spanish La Liga but in the last two months, they've been getting good results and after their surprise win today against Barcelona, it's now been confirmed that Girona will play in Europe's biggest club competition |

Real Madrid successfully won the match against Cadiz this week, they were able to send Cadiz home empty-handed after they destroyed it with 3 goals without reply. a result they really deserved considering that Cadiz is also struggling to escape the relegation zone this season. Real Madrid are now in a very comfortable situation after they managed to win, because the title is now right in front of them, it's just a matter of time.
I think they will soon shift their focus to the Champions League match against Bayern Munich. They were successful with a draw when they visited Bayern Munich's headquarters in the first leg. Now they will wait at Bernaneu for the second leg. Their chances are very big in this match and I think they will be able to get it.
I want to see what Bayern Munich will do in this match, whether they will play attacking or they will play very carefully to take the match to a penalty shootout.
it was expected of Madrid to win Cadiz Madrid is not at a point where you can just defeat them because their focus is beyond playing around and playing against Cadiz was just for them to improve their play against the second leg against Bayern Munich, and from the beginning of real Madrid's game, the first half was like a period of observation and the second half was hit and it was one goal to another. the game that annoyed me is the game Barcelona played but if you come to look at it Girona is a very tough opponent but Portu scored two goals and two goals and gave one assist Portu is actual the man of the match. Girona has now gone back to the second position and leading Barcelona with one point, so the second position will either be for one of them because Madrid is already the winner Playing at the Santiago Bernabeu against an average Spanish club like Cadiz, it was very expected for Real Madrid to win that particular fixture and they did it that in a clinical fashion without even conceding a goal. The result of that game was all Real Madrid needed to win the the Spanish La Liga this season because their closest rivals Barcelona were beaten by Girona few hours after the Real Madrid game against Cadiz. For the 36th time, Real Madrid have been crowned the champions of Spain which have extended their record win of the Spanish league. Carlo Ancelotti is simply the best man for the job at Real Madrid and I find it a great pleasure to be a Real Madrid fan at the moment. Winning the Spanish La Liga isn't an easy job but Real Madrid have just achieved that feat so I say a big congratulations to them |

I am sure that Al-Nassr is super happy about being in the finals, but they should realize that they are going to be playing against the best team in the nation for that cup, which will not be easy.
Al Hilal will want to do the double, they already won the league, and they will want to win the cup as well, which is why it feels like we are really not looking into anything that is going to be easy for Ronaldo and his teammates. I am not saying it is impossible, but the fact that we will see them at the final game means that all they have to do is win one more game, just one game and they are going to end the season with at least one cup. Will they be able to do it? I really don't think that they will be able to pull it off.
Al Nassr as a club is very happy with their recent achievement of reaching the King Cup of Champions final but I think they're not ignorant of the fact that they'll meet Al Hilal who's unarguably the best club in Saudi Arabia this season. Like I said in one in my post about the match earlier this week, the two clubs have met each other in three different occasions this season with the Saudi Pro League winners winning in all of their meetings so facing same club again in the final should be a major concern for Al Nassr. Looking at how Al Hilal have played this season, it's obvious that they're surely interested in winning as many trophies as possible so I still expect them to give their best against Al Nassr when they meet each other in the final but I think Al Nassr will be very much prepared for whatever they're going to come up with in that particular game. That'll be Al Nassr's only chance of winning a major trophy this season season so I expect them to approach the game with all seriousness |

Such a wonderful day for Arsenal against Bournemouth with a good results,
It will be a much better day for Arsenal if Manchester City draw or loose to Wolves. Manchester City coach has put up a very strong lineup for the game with Haaland who is still the tournament's leading goalscorer leading the attack for Manchester City and has a good goal record against Wolves, with Foden who is playing on top form and Kevin De Bruyne in their midfield. Manchester City are not in the Champions League anymore so this game looks like a game that they would win easily. All indications points to Manchester City being the winners from this game because they also have the home advantage so it will be a very big thing of luck if wolves are able to win or draw with them at the Etihad Stadium. Hwang Hee-chan can score for Wolves, he has shown good goal scoring abilities in the past. 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. When we consider the the performances of the two English Premier League clubs that played against the top two clubs in the English Premier League table today, it's obvious that Arsenal faced the stronger team and that's why I think they deserve more commendation than their rivals Manchester City who played against Wolves. Arsenal's league opponents of the weekend was no other than Bournemouth who has been very impressive with their results this season as well as pull up shocking results against supposed big clubs but against Arsenal today, they conceded three goals without finding the back of the net. Arsenal in my own opinion have been immensely impressive and unlike what happened next last season in the English Premier League, Arsenal are very much interested in making sure they fight for the title until the last match day of the season. Manchester City's win against Wolves was a very important win for them as they continue to fight for the league title but I feel they might likely drop points in one of their last three league games of the season |

Fiorentina will give their best to actually lift that trophy this year and it would be about time for the Florence zone to win such a prestige competition because the passion from their fans will give them a huge advantage in 2nd leg against Brugge.
I also have confidence in Olympiakos to make a great result on home ground where the fans and the atmosphere will have a huge impact on Villa game and it's for sure that Olympiakos will score.
Italian club Fiorentina are very much interested in making sure they win the UEFA Conference League this season and considering how they've been impressive with their performances in the competition this season, there's no doubt to the fact that they're very serious in their quest to win an European trophy this season which isn't a bad idea. Their result from the first leg of their semi final game of the competition against Club Brugge is a very good way to make sure they reach the final but I think their win in the first leg is very slim to help them achieve their aim. The second leg will be played in the home of the Belgian club club and that's why I think a goal lead will not just be enough to for Fiorentina to eliminate their Belgian counterparts. Olympiacos in the other semi final tie of the competition was immensely impressive with their performance and result while playing away from home against English Premier League club Aston Villa. The 4:2 win have given them a good lead going into the second leg and I feel that they're surely going to eliminate Aston Villa from the competition when they play host Unai Emery's men on next week Thursday |

Arsenal won their match 3-0 and in the meantime Manchester City is winning 2-nil against Wolves.
So for the moment if there are no shocking results during the second half nothing will change after this evening and therefore another small step forward for Guardiola and the victory of yet another Premier League.
Liverpool is out of the running, City is currently second but with a game to play and therefore potentially at +2 compared to Arsenal.
Liverpool is out of the race, normally I would have expected Arsenal to be in the race, but they have been getting good results in the last weeks this season. If Arsenal had not lost points before, they could have even taken Manchester City out of the race. They deserve to be champions in the season they are so good. Bournemouth goalkeeper Travers made too many saves, perhaps Arsenal saved 3-4 clear goals. Also, the penalty won by Arsenal was clean in my opinion. Travers had no intervention, this penalty is very open to discussion. It's obvious that Liverpool are are out of the race even when I'm they're not mathematically out of it but when you consider the performance of the top two teams and their quest to make sure the my win the English Premier League title, you'll agree to the fact that Liverpool as a club can not just match up with either of Arsenal or Manchester City until the end of the season. Arsenal are very much dedicated to actualize their aim of winning the English Premier League title this season and are ready to keep fighting until they get what they want same is Manchester City. If Arsenal should win their last two fixtures in the English Premier League this season, they'll hope on a Manchester City defeat or a draw in one of their remaining three league matches to get crowned champions. The end to the English Premier League is just too interesting to watch especially when you ain't a fan of either Arsenal or Manchester City and I hope we enjoy it till the last match day of the season |

Addiction of all kinds causes loses, have you seen drug addiction and what it does to people, there is a guy at my street that has sold all his property just because of addiction to drugs and he was so rich before this, addiction is the problem and not what you are Addicted to, anything can get anyone Addicted to it but what matters is how you are able to Control yourself and apply discipline not to go to far.
Yes, I almost see people who become drug and gambling addicts around my house, it's true that almost all addicts experience losses and anything that is excessive will definitely not be good in the end, that's why don't gamble too seriously so that you spend a lot of money, moreover it can make you addicted to gambling. I really see that there is no difference between gambling and drug addicts, so anything that is excessive will definitely become an addiction. Gambling addicts and drug addicts will usually go bankrupt and lose a lot of money if they cannot control it properly. People who are addicted usually cannot control themselves so it is easy for them to become addicts, even though being a gambling addict is difficult to cure, both of them definitely have the same way to cure it, whether it is a gambling addict or a drug addict, usually they will recover if they try to stay away from that habit. whether it's the habit of using drugs or gambling, but the advice is to never try to do something that is detrimental to yourself, even if it's fun, as long as you can control it, that's fine, but if you can't control it, you should never try it. The truth is that addiction of every kind causes losses but there's no doubt to the fact that gambling addiction is the worst of all addiction and that's why it's advisable for every gambler to desist from anything that'll make them become addicted in gambling. When someone is addicted to other bad vices like hard drug substance and it's likes, helping the person get over his addiction is more possible than helping someone who is deeply addicted to gambling get over his gambling addiction. Addiction in gambling is the easiest way to become addicted in other bad social vices because when an addicted gambler can't satisfy his gambling addiction again probably because of lack of money, he tends to do any other thing that's absolutely bad for an individual which taking of drugs can also be part of. In all we do , we must learn how to gambling addiction |

There are several conditions that might become troublesome for Dortmund in the second leg, although for now the aggregate is still in their favor with 1 goal obtained at Signal Iduna Park yesterday.
PSG has quite good attacking power and we can see that in yesterday's match there were several opportunities, including from Mbappe and Hakimi, both of whom hit the crossbar, which of course means that Dortmund has to tighten up its defensive area if they want a good result for the second leg.
Just one goal lead is not a comfortable lead in the champions league. We have witnessed in the past where a team with four goals lead are still eliminated from the competition when they play in the second leg. This is a very competitive league and the league of champions that is why it is important to score as many goals as possible when you have the chance. The second leg will be full of interesting moments, I can’t wait for it to be played next week to see the teams that will play in the final this year. Indeed, at the moment one goal is not a very comfortable advantage for Dortmund but it is still much better than Dortmund having no advantage at all, right so we cannot underestimate Dortmund in the second leg because regardless of how big or small the advantage they have on aggregate is still the case. they have an advantage that is the most important in this case. The current situation, the second leg is played at PSG and we see their performance is still extraordinary, it is indeed dangerous but now Dortmund just need to hold them back so they don't score more goals than PSG and that is not an impossible thing to happen especially in the semi-finals now with the strength of the two clubs being almost the same, of course both still have the same momentum, even with the aggregate advantage now, Dortmund is certainly more confident. Borussia Dortmund produced one of their best performances this season in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi final encounter with Paris Saint Germaine to get a 1:0 win against the French champions and take a lead going in to the second leg that'll be played next but because the second leg of that game will be played at the home of Paris Saint Germaine, that lead isn't a strong one if you ask me. Before the first leg of the first leg of the two ties in the semi final of the competition were played, my prediction was that Real Madrid ahd and Paris Saint Germaine are the two clubs that are gonna reach the final of the competition and even till this very moment, I still have same conviction that the two clubs will progress ahead of their opponents. Paris Saint Germaine manager Luis Enrique having won the competition before now understands everything about the UEFA Champions League so I expect him to come up with a formation that'll guarantee them a win against the German club when they host Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night |

Al Nassr won the game against Al Khaleej and they can now have the chance to win one trophy in this season. Since they lost the Saudi League to Al Hilal, now the King's Cup is the last chance for them. Al-Nassr is going to play in the final match against Al Hilal and once against these two teams should play against each other which can be hard for Al Nassr because even in the last games they had against Al Hilal they could never beat this team even with players like Ronaldo in their team. Since Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in 2023 they couldn't win as many titles as they were expecting and they just won the Arab Club Champions Cup which is not good for a player like Ronaldo and this gave him to have the motivation of playing with better performance this time against Al Hilal hoping to beat this team.  Of course Al Nassr has one chance to win the trophy this season after beating Al Khaleej with a convincing score. Even though their next opponent is the strong team Al Hilal, I am sure Al Nassr will be determined to win the Arab Club Champions Cup because that is their only hope of getting a trophy after failing to compete in the SPL with Al Hilal. Since joining Al Nassr in 2023, I am proud of my idol (Cristiano) he is already 39 years old but he never stops scoring goals and goals. Even though there are ups and downs, I always believe in Ronaldo, he is a person who never gives up. Of course, your personality and determination will have an impact on Al Nassr as a whole so that you can be motivated to continue winning. Al Nassr were able to beat Al Khaleej in the semi finals of the King Cup Of Champions to advance to the final of the competition and also provide themselves the chance of winning a trophy this season. The club's best player of the season Cristiano Ronaldo was able to score two goals in that game to take his total tally this season to 38 goals in 39 appearances for the club. Cristiano Ronaldo is simply outdoing himself by scoring such impressive number of goals despite his age of 39 years. Al Nassr's biggest problem about winning the King Cup of Champions now is that they'll face their biggest rivals of the season Al Hilal in the final of the competition. The two teams have met in four different occasions this season with Al Hilal winning all four meetings and that's why I think it'll be a very difficult game for Al Nassr to meet their biggest rivals again. This time, Al Nassr must put in their best to make sure they get a win in that game against Al Hilal or risk finishing the season without a trophy |

It still amazes me how Juventus losts completely from the scudetto title race this season. The Old Lady's are no longer competitive to grab significant winnings in matches and led them to record inconsistent performance and it'd really terrible. Juventus will stand up again but we're yet to speculate the time for them since they're having a rough time this season. Massimiliano Allegri is doing his best to revived the club back to winning ways, it's hard but it ought to be accomplished.
Every other thing they need to make the club great again has to be from the next season because they’ve lost out in all competitions this season and don’t stand a chance to win any trophy this season. They’ve seen their lapses this season, so they should take corrections and come back better and stronger next season because that’s where the corrections can be imputed and delivered correctly. Juventus did started well this season but this should be one of their unlucky seasons and not their performance is that bad this season. The Scudetto should be their main target next season but they also need to focus and keep an eye on other competitions that they will be playing in and be able to win the trophy too. the problem that happened to Juventus this season is actually not that serious and just requires high consistency because everyone admits that Juventus at the start of the season had a very good performance but after entering the second half of this season Juventus started to lose consistency and I think this is a little unreasonable because Juventus is an experienced team, but towards the end of the season Juventus experienced a decline in confidence so that every match always had unstable results. there is no need to be blamed for Juventus current situation because this is just about the mentality of the players who were previously very ready but it turns out the pressure came when they had to compete with Inter and Milan to get to the top of the standings. Scudetto should be Juventus main goal because this season there are no scheduled matches in other competitions, but maybe Juventus will pursue the Scudetto in the next season with even better preparation. "Everyone admits that Juventus at the start of the season had a very good performance" is your statement which is very correct but you still think that "Juventus problem is not actually serious"?. Juventus like you rightly said started the season in a very good note and just like me, a lot of people were expecting them to be a very strong contender for the Italian Serie A title this season but surprisingly, they failed to remain consistent with their impressive start to the season. To me, I think their failure to keep fighting for the league title till the end of the season is a big problem that needs special intervention by the club management in other not to experience such disappointing performance again next season. The club manager Massimiliano Allegri should try and figure out what is actually wrong with the Juventus team and device a means that'll help them remain consistent whenever they're having a good run. Failure to see what happened as a big problem will make them suffer same issue next season |

Have 11 points behind Barcelona actually Madrid need two winning matches later but this week winning against Cadiz and Barcelona defeated by Girona will make Madrid's points can't reach any more by Barcelona or Girona with four matches later.

The game week 34, Madrid will play early from Girona vs Barcelona match. If next match Madrid win against Cadiz will has 87 points and Girona success beating Barcelona will move to 2nd place and has 74. Left four matches later its not chance yet for Girona reach Madrid on the top position standings.
Just like you said, there's every possiblity that the winner of this season's Spanish La Liga title can be decided this weekend and there's also a possibility that we might just have to wait till next weekend to have a new winner emerge. Real Madrid host Cadiz tomorrow at the Santiago Bernabeu and a win for Carlo Ancelotti's men will make the them become the winners of the league if Barcelona is defeated at Girona that same tomorrow. The interesting thing about those two fixtures tomorrow is that Barcelona's game at Girona will take place after Real Madrid are done with hosting Cadiz so should Real Madrid win, their players will be watching the Girona vs Barcelona game with the hope Girona will win fir them to be crowned Spanish La Liga champions. Real Madrid have fought a good battle this season and for a club that was able to get a draw against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week, winning the league title this weekend will give them all needed morale to win the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi final tie against Bayern Munich by next week Wednesday to reach the final of the competition |

That's right, the Argentine national team coach and Portugal coach have to look realistically at how these two superstars will perform ahead of the World Cup. In terms of age, Ronaldo and Messi are no longer young, but the experience and mentality they have is really needed in their respective teams. Apart from that, coaches also shouldn't ignore potential young players, I think these two stars will not force their will if they don't get a call.
I'm sure the Argentine and Portuguese national team coaches would still bring Messi and Ronaldo if they didn't retire or get injured. Both goats have extraordinary appeal for the world cup. These two players also have a big influence on the mentality of the young players in their squad. They have a role more than just players. I think I'll be disappointed if one of them doesn't get called up. Unless Messi or Ronaldo decides to retire before the World Cup. The world cup is the birthplace of new legends. But I think the world cup is the right place if the two goats decide to retire. But Argentina coach previously stated that if Messi wants to be able to play in the 2026 World Cup then he must be able to lead Argentina to win the 2024 Copa America. This is statement made by Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni to Messi and many people already know this because the statement came out several months ago. It just that looking at the Copa America, Argentina is national team that has the potential to win it now and it is certain that Messi might be able to complete the challenge that has been given by Lionel Scaloni. Moreover, Messi can no longer play well and Messi has shown really significant decline in performance, even though he helped Argentina win the Copa America and was included in Argentina squad for the 2026 World Cup, I sure many will be on the bench. Lionel Messi is yet to retire from international football and for a footballer of his hallowed status, he remains the captain of the Argentina national team until whenever he deems it fit to leave the national team of his beloved country. Because of the sacrifices Lionel Messi have made for the national team and and how dedicated he was to make sure the country win the last edition of the FIFA World Cup, there are privileges that he'll keep enjoying regardless the number of games he plays with the Argentina national team. The 2026 Copa America will be played in the summer of which Lionel Messi is expected to play alongside his Argentina teammates but even if he fails to make it to the tournament, that wouldn't make the national team coach to drop him from his next World Cup squad if Messi stays fit before the next edition of the FIFA World Cup. He's earned that right and there's nothing the national team coach can do about it |

Interesting message. It doesn’t matter to me what people think about my hobby, be it gambling or something else. Everyone has free will and the right to choose what they see fit, unless prohibited by law. Another thing is that you need to have wisdom and watching your bets is not always appropriate. I mean situations when, for example, you are at work or on a date or in a company on a holiday, this can be considered disrespect and bad manners. And regarding people’s opinions, everyone has the right to think about me and everyone else what they see fit I agree, besides the money you are using in gambling is your own money. The fact that it is your own money, it only means that other people doesn't have the right to think or say/dictate anything about your hobby. Letting them to think whatever they want and didn't give any interest on their opinion is good, we don't need to stress ourselves with other peoples opinion, what we should think is how we become comfortable with our hobbies. As an adult, it's important to grow up to stage that you don't find people's opinion about your personal life relevant and in my own opinion, someone shouldn't be addressed as an adult when people's opinions about personal life still bothers the person. However, it's also important to note if what people are saying about you is a true reflection of your negativity or not because sometimes, people around us tends to genuinely care for us. That being said, I do not care what people around me make of my gambling engagements and that's because whenever I gamble, I don't do it with any other person's resources but mine. Gambling is one engagement that an adult solely takes responsibility of the outcome so anyone's opinion about it is absolutely unimportant provided that such adult is gambling responsibly. But in a situation whereby an adult isn't responsible in his gambling engagements, it's very important to take advice from other people who genuinely wants the person to stop gambling irresponsibly |

Yes, you are absolutely right, gambling should be a fun activity for us and therefore we have to make rules in our life, namely making a schedule for when we should play and how much money we will use to play too. If these two things can be implemented and carried out well then we will feel happy playing gambling and it will definitely make our hearts happy.
However, we as gamblers never know the trials and tribulations before our eyes because any activity will definitely have obstacles.
Well, here in gambling the obstacles are in the form of how we can control ourselves well and not be easily tempted by the various games there.
Playing gambling is part of fun so we must treat gambling as it was so we don't gets any problems that already faced by other gamblers. Yes, we must make rules in our life to prevents that problems occurs and we can playing gambling moderately to avoids addiction. We don't have to achieve anything from gambling as we understand that gambling is not something that can gives us money easily. When we can make a schedule when we playing gambling, we will stick to that and will not playing gambling if we don't have free time or we are not in our schedule. If we can follows our rules carefully, we will have a time to enjoy playing gambling and have fun without thinks about achieving something from gambling because we knows that will difficult to us. When we don't chase anything from gambling instead to have fun, we can see that gambling is just part of our activities that we don't have to use every day. The popular saying that gambling is majorly a game of fun is not deceptive but many people are always of the opinion that gambling can be played as a means of earning a living but for someone who's engaged in gambling for many years, I want to categorically say that it's better to approach gambling just for the sole aim of having fun in it instead of trying to use it as a means of earning a living because when you do the later, you're very unlikely to get a positive result at the end of the day. When I started gambling, I was thinking I'm going to achieve so many things through gambling because it did favour me the first time I engaged in it but that was not the case. Instead of achieving the things I had initially planned before gambling, I ended up losing my resources in gambling. It was since I stopped gambling with the mindset that I should achieve many things with gambling that I started winning but the bottom line still remains that I've lost more in gambling than what I've gained. |

Here the Europe League semifinal result matches for first leg - Roma 0 vs 2 Leverkusen
- Marseille 1 vs 1 Atalanta
Leverkusen secure the winning capital on the first leg math behind two goals and make easily at second leg match playing on home one step closer to final round. Leverkusen still defend the unbeaten matches in Europe League and all competition and seems get final round for next on second leg match without loss yet their appearance in Europe League until reach to final stage. Atalanta make another impressive performance after eliminating Liverpool as most favorite team will lead to final round, being draw against Marseille and good achievement for away match. Atalanta will most offensive on second leg with home match and making the first history appearance teams for Europe League participants success reach to final round. Xabi Alonso's men continued their unbelievable and incredible performance last night as they extended their unbeaten run to 47 in all competitions this season. Playing away at AS Roma, I was thinking that the best they could get was leaving the Stadio Olympico with a draw and my opinion was borne out of how improved the Roma team have been under the tutelage of their current manager Daniele De Rossi who took over the club's managerial position after Jose Mourinho was sacked earlier this season but that wasn't the case. Bayer Leverkusen were able to a 2:0 win against Roma away from home so in my opinion, that tie have already been decided. The other UEFA Europa League semi final game between Marseille and Atalanta, I think the tie is still very much open because none of the two sides were able to get a win in the first leg. However, Atalanta has a better advantage of advancing to the final of the competition because they'll be playing the second leg at home |

Yesterday, I read a report that Bayern Munich contacted former RB Leipzig manager Ralf Ragnick to take over their managerial position when the club's current manager Thomas Tuchel leaves at the end of the season but just like the two previous managers they contacted for the Bayern Munich job, Ralf Ragnick declined the offer. Earlier this season the club have contacted managers like Xabi Alonso and Julian Nagelsmann but both of them turned down the offer citing different reasons for their refusal. Bayern Munich as we all know is one of the biggest clubs in Europe and their history as a club backs that claim. Also the quality of players olat the club is strong enough to attract big managers to the club since they know that they won't have to struggle much to get get good results with the team but yet, three top managers have rejected the Bayern Munich job already. I think there's something about the current management of the club that's scaring these managers away from accepting to coach the club

Amazingly, Chelsea was able to beat Tottenham with landslide score of 2 - 0 and this was victory that really made all Chelsea fans cheer and feel satisfied with the game of their proud team.
Tottenham is not weak team, in fact Tottenham has several times put pressure on them which has made it difficult for big top teams to win when they meet them, but today Tottenham were helpless against Chelsea.
Thanks to this victory, Chelsea was able to overtake West Ham in 8th place in the standings and in today match Tottenham had many opportunities and dominated the game but they failed to convert the opportunities into goals.
Chelsea, who were little under pressure from Tottenham players, actually managed to score 2 unexpected goals.
Next, Chelsea will meet West Ham and once again this is home match for Chelsea, if they can play well maybe they can still win.
Chelsea opportunity to improve and finish in better ranking is really open, but I doubt whether they can be consistent or not because during this season Chelsea performance has been quite unstable.
Chelsea players delivered just another great performance to make sure they grabbed all three points in their game against Tottenham Hotspur last night. Chelsea in my own perspective is a club that's got the needed quality of players to put up a strong fight for as many trophies as possible but because of the inconsistency of the team, they've not been able do that. When they faced Tottenham Hotspur in their first league fixture of the season, the North London club finished the game with 9 men which made many believe it was the reason Mauricio Pochentino's men were able to leave Tottenham Hotspur home ground with a win but in that game yesterday, the both team finish with complete 11 players but it still didn't stop Chelsea to win the game without conceding a goal. If Mauricio Pochentino can do well to make the team remain consistent with the kind of performance we saw last night, Chelsea might just be considered a strong English Premier League club once again |

It was a very exciting match because PSG, unlike usual, would get defeated, PSG would usually always win in every match they faced. Kylian Mbappé could not play well because Borrusia Dortmund always controlled Kylian Mbappé's steps so that it was not easy for him to get the ball well until the match ended. PSG had difficulty scoring goals.
Before the match started, I also thought that Borrussia Dortmund would make it difficult for PSG and it turned out that actually happened in that match. And in the second leg I think PSG will also try hard to beat Borrussia Dortmund at home because PSG only lost by one goal in the first leg. But because their match is in the UCL, of course both of them will not be so easy to win because the second leg match is a super important match for them so they will give all their abilities in the second leg later. Before the game, I predicted that Paris Saint Germaine were going to leave the Signal Iduna Park with a win or at least a draw but the home team didn't allow that to happen rather they went all out in their full strength just to make sure they got the important win. With that win last night, Borussia Dortmund have now taken a slim lead against their opponents going in to the second leg which I think will serve as a morale booster to help them be at their best when they travel to France for the second leg of the game. The result of that game was a very welcome to development to not just the yellow fans of Borussia Dortmund but to Germany football in general because we're going to have 5 German teams in the UEFA Champions League next season by the virtue of that all important win. It was indeed a very good result for German football in general |

Dortmund's win was good and they have the capital ahead of the second leg against PSG later. Even though they only won by a narrow margin, it meant a lot for Dortmund where they will next play an away match at PSG. I think Dortmund also knows that it will be very difficult to face PSG at home and maybe everything can change if the hosts play more intensely.
Last night PSG didn't play well and they couldn't steal the lead with the opportunities they had. Mbappe seemed under pressure and had no free space to move. I think Luis Enrique must learn from this first leg mistake and improve his existing strategy so he can turn things around at home later. PSG needs at least 2 goals but I think Dortmund will still increase their aggregate and will not play defensively at all.
Borussia Dortmund did play their first leg game in the semi finals of the UEFA Champions League at home against Paris Saint Germaine yesterday so it's understandable that they were able to get all three points from the game but in my own opinion, I think Paris Saint Germaine have all it takes to deliver a better performance than what we saw in that game but were obviously limited by the club manager's tactical approach to the game and here is my reason for saying such... Kylian Mbappe without doubt plays in the no.9 role perfectly but in games like the last night game, he delivers better from the left flank of attack which was were Bradley Barcola was operating from. Kolo Muani was on the bench when he could've been played in the center forward striker position while Mbappe plays from the wing so he can get the chance to take on the Borussia Dortmund defenders. The second leg will be played next week at the Parc des Princes and I hope he's learnt his lessons from the result of the first leg |

Im gonna wait for thursday games and to see how Rome make a good game against Leverkusen and maybe can make a good noise, and take some win, take care of this, Rome can beat Leverkusen.
I appreciate your optimism regarding As Roma in this match, maybe it could happen if the goddess of luck sides with As Roma in this match, however, in my opinion, in the few times I have seen As Roma play in the Domestic League, it seems that they always have difficulty in several matches that As Roma plays in Serie A, does not intend to bring down or underestimate the game and compare it with Leverkusen, on the other hand we both know that Leverkusen's strength is very strong, they have not experienced defeat in the Domestic League and the game that Leverkusen played was very beautiful and almost perfect, even though they came as guests at the first leg is not likely enough that As Roma will be able to overthrow Leverkusen easily, it is very clear that the games played by As Roma and Leverkusen are very different from their visitors, so As Roma will most likely experience a narrow defeat at home or worse, they will experience defeat with a score big. Defeating Leverkusen is something that I cannot say anything on, amd I still doubt if it will bepossie that it is Roma, De Rossi sqaud that will be able to break Leverkusen unbeaten record after all this long period of time. This is why I think that Roma might end up drawing the game of Leverkusen winning the match. I am not underestimating Roma, but I must talk based on facts on ground. Roma current form is not in its best, and that might affect their performance in the match against Leverkusen, while Leverkusen is in their best form. The first leg of the UEFA Europa League semi final tie between German champions Bayer Leverkusen and Italian club Roma will be played on Thursday at the Stadio Olympico and because of how impressive Bayer Leverkusen have been this season, many are of the opinion that it'll be very difficult to beat them. In the last 45 games that Bayer Leverkusen have played in all competitions, they've never conceded a defeat so it's absolutely understandable why majority of the people are backing them to beat AS Roma even when Leverkusen are playing away. Xabi Alonso is one manager that's earned the respect of so many people because of how he's improved the team and now that his team have secured the league title and qualified to play in the final of the DFB-POKAL, adding the Europa League trophy will not be a bad idea so I expect them to go all out in that game |
