we'll see the situation later. The PSG coach certainly saw the problems they faced in the first leg. so they have to make a strategy to solve it. what will be a problem for PSG is when their strategy might be successfully anticipated by Dortmund.
I believe this is a decisive and important match for both teams. they will make every effort to win. however, the results will be seen today. those who are stronger with strategy and preparedness will win.

I know how PSG dreams of lifting the Champions League trophy. they are now very close and need a little more effort. everything depends on their struggle today.
One of PSG's weaknesses in the first leg was that they were not good at finishing when they had opportunities to score. PSG also had difficulty developing their game because Dortmund was really good in all areas. Luis Enrique knows where his team's weaknesses lie in the first leg and he will try to give his best in the second leg soon.

PSG's defense also seems incomplete due to Lucas Hernández's injury in the first leg. Lucas Beraldo was trusted by Luis Enrique to replace the injured Hernandez, meanwhile Luis Enrique also changed the attacking composition where he played Gonçalo Ramos from the first half as a center forward instead of Kylian Mbappe. There are good hopes to see Kylian Mbappe et al win this match, but I want to see how they do it from the early minutes.

It looks like the French League administrators are giving PSG all the support they need. They have always ensured that the Ligue One champions have enough time to rest before any Champions League match. The last time PSG played a match was on 1st May when they played the first semi-finals leg. Meanwhile,. Borussia Dortmund played their last game against Augsburg three days after they met PSG. Edin Terzić was smart enough to rest some of his key players in preparation for the game with PSG
I'm not sure how it's set up, but expecting teams to be able to play as many as 3 games in 7 days is terrible. PSG gets 7 days of preparation time before playing Dortmund, while Dortmund has 5 days. In terms of rest time, Dortmund certainly doesn't have much time to make better team preparations, but 5 days seems reasonable.

The PSG vs Dortmund match will be played tomorrow or in 21 hours 18 minutes. Both teams have prepared and I hope they both entertain throughout the match. Dortmund, who holds the aggregate advantage, is not the favorite to win, while PSG is the favorite to win and qualify for the final.

I really want to ask anyone who is a Manchester United fan. If management decides to part ways with Ten Hag at the end of the season, then which coach do you really hope to replace him?

This season Ten Hag failed with many expectations regarding his team's performance. He failed in the Champions League, even failing just to qualify for the Europa League. Manchester United also failed in the Carabao Cup, while Manchester United is also likely to fail to qualify for the European zone next season. Manchester United only has 1 competition left to win, that is the FA Cup where they will face Manchester City in the final. Today's defeat to Crystal Palace caused many to doubt they could beat Manchester City in the final, with the result that many believed that Manchester United would sack Ten Hag at the end of the season.

I wouldn't say women are better at risk management and emotions when they lose. On average, women have softer feelings and they tend to get stressed more easily when they don't get something they want, let alone lose something they want to win. Men are better and more reliable, but not all women are bad at controlling risks and managing their emotions.

Even though that is my personal opinion, I don't expect that to be used as a reason why women are not considered better than men in terms of controlling emotions. The nature of women is that it is difficult to control their emotions, on average women get angry easily and fail to control them.

The expectations of Manchester United fans were high and they did not expect Crystal Palace to play them like this, They ganged up against Manchester United. these are people at Arsenal who are scared of how funny it is that Manchester United could not score even one single goal. I am ashamed of the club and even with the extra minutes, they were still unable to score. It is a thing of disappointment that Manchester United has gotten to this level. before the first half, Crystal Palace had two goals already, and in the second half, they added another two extra goals. injury is just an excuse to have lost to crystal Palace. If they can attack, why not focus on a defensive game? even before the injury cases, united has been failing and they have not had a good season this season, Last season was far better than this season. they should prepare for another hot game from arsenal.
Crystal Palace's fantastic win today was an embarrassment for Manchester United. No one expected Manchester United to lose by 4 goals to Crystal Palace in that match, but it was an impressive performance from Crystal Palace. Fans' high expectations did not come true for Manchester United today, but the number of player injuries really made Ten Hag have to admit his team's weaknesses.

Basically it's not a good reason to consider why Manchester United lost, but Ten Han really struggled to find a good formula from the existing players. Player injuries are certainly bad for the coach and team, especially if many of them are main players.

Girona did everyone proud with their outstanding performance over the giant Barcelona yesterday and I'm pretty sure even the Barca fans were marveled with the turnout of the match. There's nothing anyone could do about it and I'm not ready to blame anyone for the misfortune on Barcelona. Not the coach or the players. Only that they could have put more efforts but I'm sure that's all they could offer.

Girona is always a good team until they went down on their performance at a time during the heat of the season and now they seem to be back again, with their strong defeat over the elite club, Barcelona. I didn't expect this comeback but I'm sure their building their stamina against next season, hopefully. Kudos to the team.
I would say that this is a historic season for Girona. They have performed so well throughout this season and they have also been able to beat some of the strongest La Liga teams so far. Barcelona and its supporters will certainly admit that, but as far as I know Barcelona deserved to lose when they were really bad at transitioning from attack to defense. Girona took advantage of the opportunity and scored a goal even though Barcelona was statistically superior in many ways.

Xavi, who is rumored to be staying at Barcelona next season, needs to think about the best way to strengthen his defense line. Their goal productivity is still good, but he must find the right solution to strengthen the defense and also the midfielders.

It is actually sad to see that Liverpool has already been out of the competition for the English Premier League title. They were showing a lot of promises. But all those promises ended up in smoke.

Yes, I understand that mathematically Liverpool does still have a chance to win the English Premier League title. But the point difference is just a little too big right now. And I wouldn’t say that it is a realistic idea to think Arsenal and Manchester City are going to lose all the matches that they have left and Liverpool is going to win all the matches that they have left. It was the final season of Klopp and it genuinely looks like they had a chance. But now I think they are going to finish probably on the third position in the English Premier League.
Since Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace, I already suspected they would lose a lot of hope of winning the Premier League title this season. Liverpool recovered by winning their next match against Fulham, but in the next two matches they lost and drew against Everton and West Ham. Everything is too late for Liverpool when Arsenal and Manchester City have created a gap of 4 to 5 points at this time, but Manchester City, which still has one match savings, has the potential to increase the gap to 7 points from Liverpool.

The most realistic thing for Liverpool to hope for in the remainder of the season is to stay in third place and qualify for the Champions League next season. It was Jurgen Klopp's final gift to everyone at Liverpool as he will leave at the end of the season. Of course there are disappointments, but in football anything is possible.

Girona managed to beat Barcelona on their last matchup as well, which is quite a serious problem for Barcelona. I assumed Barcelona would finish the season second and that was a locked in thing in my brain, the fact that they are third now looks terrible for them. I really do hope that Barcelona manages to bring themselves back to second place because that is going to be quite important for them.

Not just because they would make more money, but also because they need it to sustain the team as well. If Girona finishes third instead of second nothing huge would happen for them, but if Barcelona finishes third instead of second then it won't be good for them at all. This is why in the remainder of the games I am expecting Barcelona to get full wins, which will not be easy at all.
Girona played great at home and that is what they dreamed of and planned for pre-match. The match was tough with Barcelona taking the lead, but Míchel's substitutions by playing Portu and Yan Couto produced sweet results. Of course Barcelona must accept this defeat with their heads held high, but basically they have to blame themselves for the defeat.

Barcelona is still very likely to be in second place at the end of the season, I mean Girona certainly cannot be completely trusted to always win. Finishing the season as runners up is Barcelona's ultimate goal this season, but Girona will certainly try for it too. Each has its own interests and both teams will grab to win them.

Mohamed Salah's feud with Jurgen Klopp in the previous match did not have much of an effect on Mohamed Salah performance, he performed very well in this game and managed to open the scoring for his team after receiving a pass from Cody Gakpo. A six goal drama occurred in this game which ended in Liverpool victory, Salah became the hero of Liverpool victory after being directly involved in the three goals scored against Tottenham.

This defeat made Tottenham suffer even more, they were unable to get a single point in four consecutive matches. It is increasingly difficult for Tottenham to catch Aston Villa in fourth position due to not being able to achieve a single win in their last four games. His performance dropped drastically before the competition ended, making Tottenham chances of appearing in the UCL next season increasingly slim.
Tottenham suffered four consecutive defeats because they were really tired of facing the four big Premier League teams. Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are classified as good teams and of course because they have good quality players too. Tottenham failed in these four matches and they really have to accept this bitter reality even though all their supporters feel very disappointed about it.

Tottenham can certainly score goals and they try to come back, but their defense is very fragile and tends to concede very easily to the opposing team. Tottenham conceded 13 goals in their last 4 matches, while they only scored 4 goals. That's clearly not comparable, but that's the fact. Tottenham are certainly in danger of failing to qualify for the Europa League if they suffer many more defeats in the remainder of the season, that is a worry that cannot be ignored if they do not improve.

Surviving in the current volatile economic environment has become a challenging issue for the lower and middle classes. In such a situation to keep pace with the current economy, it has become very important for us to engage ourselves in extra work or some business. Moreover, living with this rising market value is full of misery because our work does not increase in value with this increased market value. So we have to accept or set up our mind that we have to increase our efforts to keep up with the current lifestyle.
Get rid of lifestyle reasons as your goal to start working extra hard, that is not a wise reason why you need financial stability. You need to improve your economic conditions to support a better life, especially to meet your living needs. Lifestyle should be the last option you consider, in fact it should be ignored before you invest in your future.

Currently, Girona is still in the top three of La Liga, only two points behind Barcelona in second place and thirteen points from the top of the La Liga standings. So what do you think if Girona won't be able to qualify for the Champions League next season? Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid, who is in the top four of La Liga, still has a gap of seven points with Girona at the moment and Athletic Bilbao also has a gap of thirteen points with Girona at the moment. So how do you calculate it so that it immediately puts Girona outside the Champions League zone with five games remaining this season?
Simply put, Girona will move out of the Champions League zone only if Athletic Bilbao wins all the remaining games of the season while Girona loses the next five matches. This scenario is implausible, but still possible, so to this day Bilbao still can hopes for a miracle.

I wouldn't say Girona will drop out of the Champions League zone and give Bilbao a ticket, but I am sure Girona will stay in the Champions League zone until the end of the season regardless of ranking. Bilbao will fight for a place in the Europa League, that is a realistic hope and the most likely to be fought for.

You can say the same with Dortmund that if their players played better, they would have scored more than 1 goal. Both teams created their chances in the match and they have reasons to regret about opportunities which were wasted.

This result will make the semi final in Paris very interesting because PSG will have no choice than attacking. I don't know they will choose a serious attacking approach since the beginning whistle from the referee or they will not be too hurry with attacking. The second tactical approach is safer for PSG because it can help them to pay attention on defense and don't allow Dortmund to do many considerable and dangerous counter attacks.
I think Luis Enrique just needs to improve the team's mentality instead of just hoping his strategy will be useful in the second leg. The team must be given high motivation to beat any opponent, and this must all be reflected in how PSG handles pressure from Dortmund. Of course this is something Luis Enrique has to think about if he wants his team to qualify for the final, but I agree that improving the team's mentality is not enough to just say something.

All players must have the same ambitions and game plan, that means they must give everything they have so that the targets they want to achieve can become a reality. Anything is still possible for PSG who are only 0-1 behind in Germany, so they must maximize their home advantage to successfully qualify for the final.

Financial stability has been bad lately, everyone at the lower to middle levels feels it. There is a lot of expenditure without being accompanied by the same ideal income, this is clearly due to the bad impact of inflation. The rise in prices of goods became uncontrollable and the government had to come to its rescue, but they started increasing the tax percentage.

Everyone is required to pay higher taxes than previously planned for 2025 in my country. Previously, Value Added Tax (VAT) was only around 11%, but the new plan is to increase it to 12% next year. Of course this is not a final decision and there is internal pressure to re-evaluate the decision, that is the hope. In fact, the government does not seem to care too much about the misery of its people who feel oppressed by inflation, at the same time they do not increase the minimum wage in line with rising inflation. Ultimately, the way out to gain good financial strength is to build your own business and invest. It is a good option to get out of increasingly worse financial problems.

Well if you feel Dortmund were lucky then it's probably now left for us to see what the second leg unfolds between the two teams. The champions league is filled with so many wonders and Dortmund scaling through to the possible finals is also going to be a big suprised because no one would have expected them to do so in even a glance at the whole suprises.
Dortmund has a chance to qualify for the final, as does PSG. I'm not sure Dortmund can play like they showed in the first leg, I mean maintaining the same performance at home is not easy. PSG is expected to score at least 2 goals without conceding, this will lead them to advance to the final this season.

Luis Enrique must emphasize to his players how important it is for them to get to the final. Luis Enrique wants to have a great record in Ligue 1 and also the Champions League in his first season with PSG, but this is not easy. He knows how difficult it is to qualify for the final when the opposing team also wants the same ticket, but they have the opportunity to plan a better game at home.

Totthenham wanted to block Arsenal from winning the league since they are the highest rival to the gunners,they tried their best to ensure they draw or win that match,but the Àrsenal's spirit and momentum was just too much for them.
Today,they played against Chelsea,and they've had another defeat which looks so bad,and you begin to wonder if the coach is motivating the players at all,because one thing have noticed about football is the team talk,it is the most important thing that a coach should try to do, because it is that spirit in the boys and the team that will make them want to do every thing possible to get a win in a particular match. They lost to Chelsea again in this one,and it would be so bad of them not to finish the season and be able to take part in Europe competition.
I know Tottenham's performance was not good against Newcastle, but they were quite capable of producing a good performance when they lost 2-3 to Arsenal. Ange Postecoglou has probably given his players the best instructions on the pitch, but so far things haven't gone to plan.

In today's match, Tottenham played badly in the first half. Chelsea had an impressive performance throughout the first half, but Chelsea almost lost control in the second half when Tottenham intensively built fast attacks. There were many wasted opportunities until finally Chelsea managed to take advantage of the free kick opportunity for Nicolas Jackson's goal.

Yes, Roma lost in the first leg, and the bad thing about this is that they lost at home for them. Roma was initially very confident, but Leverkusen was far above AS Roma. In fact, even though AS Roma also took control of the game, Leverkusen's execution against Roma could not be controlled. So, I think indeed, Leverkusen is already in the next stage. and once again, congratulations to Leverkusen, winning this match against Roma with score 0 - 2 for Leverkusen victory.
Roma's 0-2 defeat to Leverkusen meant that Roma could potentially fail to reach the Europa League final this season. Leverkusen have a 50% guarantee of qualifying for this season's final as they have a 2-0 aggregate to play at home in the second leg. Leverkusen are favorites now, but things can still change if Roma play well and create more chances in the second leg.

Scoring 2 goals in Germany is not an easy job for the Roma squad, but this could happen if they succeed in creating lots of opportunities. Today Roma had to give up 0-2 at home and gave Leverkusen many opportunities to qualify for the final, but let's hope for a great match in the second leg.

Tottenham performance is decreasing a lot, they got 3 defeats in a row. They have no power to steal points against big teams in EPL, it is proven that they got no points in the matches against Newcastle, Arsenal, and Chelsea. It will be worse because Tottenham still have the matches against two big teams (Liverpool and Man City). I'm afraid that Tottenham will finish the season at out of the top 5.

Well, they seem having a serious problem. The players may not trust on the coach anymore. They have bad tactics and have no winning mentality. Sure, if they still have a dream to play in UCL or UEL for the next season, they must fix the problem soon.
Tottenham still have to accept defeat in three consecutive matches after previously losing to Newcastle 4-0, Arsenal 2-3, and today to Chelsea 2-0. Of course it's not a pleasant situation regarding them three games in a row, but all of those games have been very difficult. Then from that, Tottenham also has the potential to suffer four consecutive defeats when they also have to face Liverpool in the next match, this will clearly be an unpleasant end to the season for all their fans.

Tottenham have basically given their best in every match they have played, but the results have not been as expected. Losing 9 points in the last 3 matches means they are only 6 points from chasing by Manchester United, but if Tottenham lose to Liverpool in the next match then Manchester United will probably narrow the points gap to 3 if they win against Crystal Palace.

No longer favorites because they were unable to maintain a 2-1 score before Real Madrid received a penalty kick which made the score 2-2.
If Bayern Munich's game when they visit Santiago Bernabeu in the second leg does not change, Bayern Munich's opportunity to hold a draw is still open.

Bayern's game yesterday was very good and made things difficult for Real Madrid. If they continue in the 2nd leg by avoiding small mistakes, they can eliminate Real Madrid.
Getting rid of Real Madrid is certainly not easy in front of the Santiago public, it requires extra effort because Real Madrid can always create unexpected surprises.
I am not at all ruling out the chances that Bayern Munich will have in the second leg, but I personally tend to assume that Bayern Munich is more likely to fail. Real Madrid are a very different team at home so far, they are strong, fast, full of passion and have more motivation. Even if Real Madrid loses in the first leg, if Bayern Munich is able to maintain a 2-1 lead, then Real Madrid will also be believed to be able to recover in the second leg.

I'm just neutral about the chances of both teams, but I believe Real Madrid is much more likely to qualify. Of course, we don't know how the match will go, in fact we could still be surprised by Bayern Munich's big win if Real Madrid makes a mistake. Remember, Barcelona failed to qualify for the semifinals because of Araujo's red card, this might also be a worry among Real Madrid fans regardless of what the problem will be.
