Milan have signed Massimiliano Allegri. After 11 years, Allegri will coach Milan again. He won a championship back then. Then he had a very successful period at Juventus. Now he's going back to Milan. I think it could be a salvation for Milan, which has been bad lately. Milan will not play in the European cups next season. By focusing only on Serie A, maybe they will be more successful. It's also important how much budget they will allocate for transfers. Allegri will want new players but the budget may be more limited.
I still have fresh memories of the insults all Juventus fans hurled at Allegri for three years, and how they celebrated when they kicked him out after no results. However, looking at Milan, I will judge Allegri only based on results, without prejudice. In Milan, he won't receive the penalty points he received at Juventus or the obligation to win the championship, but I think he will do well, and hopefully, Milan can at least finish in the top 4 next season. Welcome back "The Mad Max" Let's begin a new era! |

If you want the team to develop more, then it is appropriate for Man United to release some players who do not have a big influence on the club's success. Several names are on Amorim's wish list for next season, but they will have quite a hard time bringing in these players because next season Man United will only play in the Premier League. The availability of a small budget can also be a challenge for him so that some targeted players cannot be brought in easily.
If the situation does not change, then I'm sure Man United next season will not make many changes that the coach can make and of course they will have quite a hard time keeping up with other teams in the fight for the championship title or just chasing the top three positions in the standings.
That is what will even happen, because the way it is right now, many players want more recognition, and since Manchester United will be playing in only the Premier League next season, some players won’t want to be in Manchester United due to that reason. I think Amorim should just try his best to get in players that he knows can do better than the current squad because, seriously, some of the current players are not hungry for goals and the success of Manchester United. They need more good players that can get the team performance back. I hope Amorim does the needful. We have heard from many sources about Manchester United plans to recruit many players, you know at least 9 players are linked with them. If this plan is realized then Manchester United will be the busiest club in the transfer window this year and the total budget is more than €300 million. Many people think they don't have that much budget but don't forget some important players will also be released so it doesn't have too much impact on the club finances, there is still a balance between income and expenses. I hope these 9 players that Manchester United wants to sign are players that can help Manchester United to be consistent in winning their matches and challenge for the Premier League title. I know all the Manchester United players don't need to play for Manchester United again, but if Manchester United scouts are able to identify 5 quality players and add them to the existing squad of Manchester United, I believe there will be a positive change in Manchester United's performance. It’s very early, but it's still concerning that United isn’t being heavily linked to midfielders. Solving the ball progression issues should be a much bigger priority than getting better final third quality. Hopefully, the midfield isn’t ignored yet again. United cannot go into another season with a Casemiro and Ugarte double pivot, especially since Amorim has been reluctant to use Mainoo there. Solve ball progression, and the forwards will look far better than they do now. IMO However, The important thing is to focus on winning the first game. When they are at United, people expect they to be at the top… |

Both Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa deserved what they got, because they gave up on the UCL qualification race on the last minutes when they were almost there. Forest couldn't win their last match when they know that was the only chance that they have to win Chelsea and qualify. Villa's goalkeeper messed everything up for them due to the red card he got and gave the match to United.
We watch the stellar performance of Nottingham Forest and how they climb so high this season. They failed to make it up for top four but did their best. Do you think it wasn't good enough or they just relented as last minute to give it all up for Chelsea in the last game? The last game against Chelsea was an important win for Nottingham Forest but messed everything up by losing. They qualified for Europa League and that's a win win for them. Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa was competitive to challenge elite teams for a slot in the UEFA Champions League next season but unluckily for them, they couldn't secure a prominent spot and we know how that pan out for them. Credit to the Forest but they run out of breath in the crucial phase of the end of the season. Forest in Europe is a dream. It was an incredible season way beyond expectations, but so bittersweet. To be in the top 5 most of the season and to miss out on UCL by 2 points and UEL by 1 point. 1 point from the last 4 home games. What could’ve been? Never know if they will get so close again. They failed to capitalize on decent positions due to poor decisions that could have created more opportunities. |

Yep. Juventus qualified for UCL next season but this is a poor fourth place. One more thing, they celebrated fourth place as if they had won the world championship. lol
Well, At least the Champions League will bring a lot of money, and the budget will be regular. Juventus needs to strengthen this team in the market if they don't want to risk in the league next season.
Igor Tudor must free Juventus from mediocrity, otherwise they will go nowhere. This is Juve and the only goal of this club is the Scudetto. So let's see next season...
Were you expecting them not to celebrate? They qualified for an important competition and you didn't expect them to celebrate! I know the angle you're driving at, yeah Juventus was once a terror to other Serie A teams few seasons ago yeah, but one thing is certain, eras come and go, teams rise and fall and that's why there's always room to rebuild because of you don't fall how then will you rise! Again, it's shows that a league is growing, no champions forever. If Juventus had kept on winning then it would have been boring, there would be no competition between the teams. Juventus was in the top three in 23/24 and now they are in the top four in 24/25. So what's so special? It was embarrassing in 2021 and still in 2025, the Joke of an institution these days. The club becomes a corporate influencer pygmy thing more interested in social media interactions, collaborations, and marketing than football and winning. |

I don't know but it really seems this is a season for the underdogs. Some few break throughs were achieved by some teams that we thought wouldn't have. Newcastle surprised us by beating Liverpool to win the Carling cup, Bologna shocked AC Milan and defeated them in the Coppa Italia final. Harry Kane ended his 16 years without a trophy to finally win one and add his name among trophy winners. Crystal Palace against all odds beat Manchester City to lift their first ever major trophy, Son finally lifted his first ever trophy with Tottenham after so many years of waiting. Season of the underdogs, well expect Bayern Munich, lol.
Title challengers refer to their season as a whole and Underdogs refer to one game, but at the end of the season, Title challengers become losers. lol And when we tell people mid-season that this season is the season for underdogs, they think we're speaking in tongues. Football is so unpredictable 😂 It's a breakthrough season for all underdogs, this is fair. Let's wait for the Champions League final. |

But it looks like Juventus will get the UCL ticket because the opponents Juventus will face are not that strong. Juventus will face Venezia to get UCL tickets. And Venice on the one hand also really needs a win to get a chance to avoid the relegation zone. That's even if Lecce and Empoli lose in the last match. Because if Lecce and Empoli manage to win the last match, Venezia will still be relegated even if they win the last match.
You watch now it has already been confirmed that Juventus have secured a ticket for the UEFA Champions League, after a tough battle against Venezia. In my sight Juventus scored the winning goal through a penalty in this last round match of the Italian league, so they must be considered lucky in this regard. Similarly, another Italian team was much luckier as they won the title by one point and also got a chance at the Champions League. That one point became extremely valuable, trumping everything else. The Italian giants had a chance in the UCL this season but their statistics there seemed very inconsistent to us as they only won against three teams. Yep. Juventus qualified for UCL next season but this is a poor fourth place. One more thing, they celebrated fourth place as if they had won the world championship. lol Well, At least the Champions League will bring a lot of money, and the budget will be regular. Juventus needs to strengthen this team in the market if they don't want to risk in the league next season. Igor Tudor must free Juventus from mediocrity, otherwise they will go nowhere. This is Juve and the only goal of this club is the Scudetto. So let's see next season... |

Btw Imagine Chelsea, United, and City all missing out on UCL football and going trophyless.  I heard that Man United's failure to appear in the UCL will result in a fine from Adidas. Man United will have to pay the equipment provider Adidas £10 million. This is because they will miss 2 years in Europe. United's agreement with the German manufacturer states that they cannot spend consecutive years outside the top European tournaments. This condition seems to be a new financial burden, this problem seems to have happened but only 1 year during the Sir Alex Ferguson era in 2014/15. Source: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-adidas-deal-penalty-35269735Yep. Penalized for missing out on lucrative sponsorship deals and with £373M in losses over five years and £1B in debt, United faces a detrimental financial crisis. They're actually financially fucked. Huge wages for players, big debts (not including for new stadium), and UCL money. Awful position to be in and it’s brilliant cause they’ve done it to themselves. lol Huge transfer fees - Casemiro, Antony, and Hojlund come to mind, and massive wages off the back of that too. Pray for United's survival! |

This season Napoli competed a lot and faced many challenges and became the champion of Serie A 2024-25. This season was very competitive especially between Inter and Napoli, Inter went to the top of the points table in the middle of the season but in the later stages they failed to maintain their position as Napoli regained their position. In the last match both teams won if Napoli drew or lost then their dream would have been broken but they fulfilled their dream and became the champion. Anyway Napoli had a very good season this is their 4th title as champion, congratulations to them.
Napoli sold their best center forward (Osimhen). They also sold their best winger (Kvara). There is no replacement. And despite everything, Conte won with a very normal name. After Maradona, Conte is the greatest in Naples, Antonio Conte is a great coach, he does what it takes to win it And with great effort from everyone. Conte won the impossible Scudetto! Congrats to Napoli... |

Wirtz is a fantastic player, but paying 150m for just the transfer alone is wild, clubs will inflate their prices whenever there are other options available in the market, and Wirtz is injury-prone. Ademola Lookman would be such a good signing for Bayern Munich if they don't manage to get Wirtz... such a versatile player with an eye for goal So I think Wirtz isn't worth the price and can't stay fully fit to play 60 games a season.
Ademola Lookman not on Bayern Munich wish list although I agree Ademola is not a bad choice, they instead targeted Xavi Simons from Leipzig but the problem still the same there are competitors from Premier League teams and reportedly Arsenal or Liverpool are the closest so Munich must turn their attention to other players. It must be admitted this season many clubs are looking for players in the Attacking Midfielder or Winger positions meaning it will impact the release price, my suggestion just wait for the next season. I just found information regarding the players on Munich's list yeah at least 7 players there and the total budget reaches 330 million but I'm sure only a few players will be brought in. Jonathan Tah is probably the closest to being recruited with free transfer status.  Loads of talents but this list is too expensive and this list did not hype me up. Tah isn't the defender Bayern needs, Kompany already has three good defenders. Stop buying center-backs At least one new winger is set to join Bayern in the upcoming summer transfer window. But It’s concerning that an expensive, washed-up player who doesn’t even fit their system (Nkunku) is being considered over a younger, much cheaper, and much more talented player who can fit in their system (Cherki). IMO Anyway, how seriously Bayern will enter the race largely depends on the price. By the way, Thanks for your info. |

If Chelsea really want to qualify for the champions league next season, then that they should be fighting for in their next match against Nottingham forest is a win, if they can win, then they have no problem, but getting a draw is really bad for them, and if they can lose, then they are out of the top 5 already.
Chelsea has to give it a try to win their next coming match against Nottingham Forest. Because that’s their last game for them to claim the top 5 from the table, so in this case Chelsea really needs to put in a lot of effort and fight Nottingham Forest in order to win the match. Upon saying their performance was very poor right from the beginning of this season, I don’t think that it will still affect them against Nottingham Forest. That means if they can keep their performance so strong like how they did in their previous games is possible that they will win the match against Nottingham Forest; since if they can’t win this game, they will not qualify for the next Champions League. It's the final day. Now, everything comes down to this one match. Chelseagainst Forest on Sunday stands as one of the most pivotal moments under the new ownership. It is a defining test of the club’s direction and identity. re-establishs competitive credibility. A win against Nottingham Forest on the final day of the season is all the Chelsea fans want. The fans want to see Chelsea in the Europa League. However, Forest also wants to win because they're also looking for the top five. Let's see... Btw Imagine Chelsea, United, and City all missing out on UCL football and going trophyless. |

If I were the owner of Bayern Munich then I would ignore this player I'm sure there are other players with the same talent at a lower price of course. Florian Wirtz is indeed one of the best players this season but there is no guarantee he can change the team, sometimes great players need to be handled by the right coach. Bayern Munich actually has a way to bring Florian Wirtz for 100 million but they have to go through one season, so let Wirtz go to the EPL next season and then the following season bring him to Munich.
Quite a fantastic price and I agree with you because there are still many players who have the best abilities at a much cheaper price. Leverkusen gave a special price for Bayern Munich as their challenger in the Bundesliga and it seems that Leverkusen is taking advantage of this condition to make money from Florian Wirtz. If the scenario is to let Florian Wirtz go to another League first then there is no guarantee next season they can bring him back because the club that recruited him at this time will definitely include a release clause with a fee that is no less than the offer given by Leverkusen. Wirtz is a fantastic player, but paying 150m for just the transfer alone is wild, clubs will inflate their prices whenever there are other options available in the market, and Wirtz is injury-prone. Ademola Lookman would be such a good signing for Bayern Munich if they don't manage to get Wirtz... such a versatile player with an eye for goal So I think Wirtz isn't worth the price and can't stay fully fit to play 60 games a season. |

Well, yeah, it turns out that both Real Madrid and Barcelona experienced it worse. The number of goals they conceded was 39 and 38, which is much more than Atletico Madrid who only conceded 30 goals and also Athletic Club who only conceded 26 goals. So, defense is indeed homework for both clubs.
This will be a priority next season because conceding more goals is not ideal because as far as we can see the defense of both teams is not going well. Real Madrid itself has had problems in defense since the beginning of the season because a number of players they have are injured so it is difficult for Ancelloti to create a solid defense system this season. The arrival of several players who have the best quality can help the team's overall performance and Real Madrid has done that because they move faster. But it seems that for Barcelona there will be no significant changes for the defenders next season. Barça team it is easier to get G/A because they get a lot of them, for the same reason is easy that goalkeepers and defenders look bad in goals because they concede a lot. What's more annoying is that Barca plays risky and goes all out for attack while Madrid plays safe and so-called defensive football but Madrid conceded goals the same as them in the league. lol In the Madrid team, some are strolling in the park, some are way ahead of the rest, and all are messed up. |

The league is over. Dortmund, who are back in the top 4 with their recent surge and a Champions League ticket, can hopefully be in the title race next season. Their star players Guirassy, Brandt, Gross and Schlotterbeck all finished well. They collected 22 points in the last 8 weeks (7 wins, 1 draw). I wish the Nuri Şahin era had ended earlier and Kovac had come earlier. I'm sure they will do well next year. The team needs some good transfers, at least 2 to the starting eleven. This is necessary to compete with Bayern München and Bayer Leverkusen.
Dortmund doing well next season because they finished this season strongly and got into top 4 and Champions League. Getting 22 points in last 8 weeks is really good. You mentioned that some important players like Guirassy.. Brandt.. Gross and Schlotterbeck played well at end of season which is good sign for team future. Nuri Şahin had started earlier and Kovac had come sooner team might have done even better. They played well under new coach. Now looking forward you are right it is very important for Dortmund to buy some good new players. This is important if they want to have real chance of competing with Bayern München and Bayer Leverkusen for league title next season. Getting those good new players could give them extra strength they need to try and win. Dortmund now targeting Jobe Bellingham, a big move is brewing for the young star. Jobe right now plays in the playoffs against Coventry, he has potential and maybe can be well-formed at Dortmund. He was named EFL Championship Young Player of the Season. He is 19 years old a big future! I don't know if he is better than his brother or not, but I hope his ego doesn't be like his brother. Two of the same kind in the world of football are too much. |

Surprised results today as Barcelona lost at home 2:3 against Villarreal Barcelona already had this game in control in their hand as they where in full control of the game in the first half as the first half ended in a 2:1 victory in favour of Barcelona but going into the second half Villarreal has to stage a comeback i think that Barcelona got relaxed thinking that the game was over in the first half
Barcelona losing to Villarreal wasn't more of a surprise because they have already won the league title so it do not matter whether they win or lose again though i don't like the mentality of teams who have won the title before the end of the season since most of them don't take their remaining matches seriously again. After Barcelona conceded the first goal and managed to equalize and win in the first half, i was thinking that they will win Villarreal but when they entered the second half, it became a different ball game as Villarreal took charge and equalize and won in full time. We shouldn't worry about Barcelona losing to Villarreal since they have already won the La Liga title so it doesn't mean anything to the team again. Yep. Barca has won La Liga, so it doesn't matter, but this defense is so porous. Can they really continue like this? A bitter setback for Barça in their penultimate La Liga clash — a reminder that every game demands relentless focus. Welcome back Ter Stegen but Now I see why Wojciech Szczęsny starts ahead of this guy. I know I might sound evil, but I'm glad Ter Stegen was out injured for 9 months. |

Dortmund chances of playing in the champions League next season is finally here as they lead the 17th placed team by 2:0 while Eintracht Frankfurt is helping them to do the dirty work by leading Freiburg by 1:2 with less than 30 minute remaining to play.
Do you think Freiburg will be coming back in this game? the battle is still on.
2024/2025 Bundesliga season has ended, Bayern did a great job securing the title of champions after losing it to Leverkusen previously, also giving Harry Kane his first official trophy. These four teams qualified for next Champions League, Dortmund had it narrowly, but at last they made it. Bayern Munich Bayern Leverkusen Eintracht Frankfurt Borussia Dortmund Congrats to Dortmund...It was a great end to a disastrous season, a miracle because Freiburg, Leipzig, and Mainz fell. I’m wishing them a great 25-26 tournament for Dortmund. Kovac is the man responsible for Dortmund’s Champions League existence. Makes me wonder what this season would have been like had Dortmund started with him. The fans celebrated that they had managed to achieve a strong turnaround - not an exaggeration, but still an achievement - a good achievement. If they can do that throughout the season then things will look good. See you at UCL next season. |

This is what they are doing, Real Madrid deal to sign Dean Huijsen, he is set to sign a five-year until 2030. Real sees Huijsen as top talent and Xabi Alonso wanted to bring him in. A Bournemouth player starts for Madrid! Never compare Laliga and EPL ever again.  By the way Between the number of matches. Next season, Madrid should have two teams to return to the top. Xabi also needs to analyze the young players who deserve a chance. IMO Dean Huijsen is a very talented central defender but he can play at swing too. At his very young age, he already shown good mentality that is strong enough for dealing with pressure in big matches, and he also has very good view sights and accurate passing skills that are helpful for distant passes. I really believe in good future for Dean Huijsen and Real Madrid truly made good decision in this transfer. They already have strong attacking system and only need enhancement in their midfield and defense areas. Dean Huijsen is a first player in their plans for squad enhancement in this summer transfer season. With great distant passing skills from Dean, speedy attacking players like Vinicius and Mbappe will be given more sudden opportunities in a next season from the back line. Yep. Dean Huijsen is the only player in a certain metric. He only U21 centreback in the world to rank in the 80+ percent for a defensive duel, progressive passes, and progressive carries. Impressive are there more players like this in other positions The Madrid midfield is non-existent. Attackers are dropping to the midfield to pick up the ball. Wingers are crossing instead of driving into the box. Strengthen the Midfield and they win the game easily. After all the transfer windows, they chose not to do anything to replace Toni Kros, but I think Xabi knows about it and will fix it. |

The result does not entirely depend on Freiburg, I mean Dortmund can qualify for the UCL on their own accord even though Freiburg beats Frankfurt. Dortmund must try to win big from Kiel at least 4-0 so even if Freiburg wins Dortmund can still get the top 4 because they win the goal difference over Frankfurt if the result is the opposite or Freiburg loses, they only need to win by a few goals over Kiel. So at this moment it depends on how they live it whether they will depend on Freiburg vs Frankfurt results or want to try with their own strength.
You're very right but sometimes I do see this Dortmund of team as jokers, they like messing up for no just reason, they are good at winning when you don't expect it and lose to teams that we don't expect to win them, this is a team that is not supposed to be struggling to be in the 4th position, Dortmund is among the top four in the German bundles Liga which means they are not supposed to be in this kind of messy situation, they didn't impress me this season, how would they allow themselves to be in the situation of probably having to qualify based on either goal differences. With the situation on ground, how sure are we sure that Dortmund will win kiel, personally I don't trust Dortmund for some reasons best known to me although let's see what they got, it is now obvious that their destiny is in their hands now but how will the be able to scale through becomes the question. Some situations show how the board made a mistake in choosing a coach. The selection of Nuri Şahin at the start of the season was a big mistake for Dortmund. Niko Kovac is a good coach, I like him, but here, it is Nuri Şahin's ineffectiveness, not Niko Kovac's influence, that is causing this picture. Dortmund was 11th when Kovač took over, and Now, they’re just 1 point off the top 4, which takes them into the Champions League race. Kovac is by far the best coach they have had. Kovac is a doer. |

That is because many of Real Madrid's defenders are injured but I never doubt Real Madrid's management because they have proven that when going through a bad season, Real Madrid's management will make major improvements and that is possible to happen next season.
Now Real Madrid has officially recruited Xabi Alonso as their new coach, that is the first step in a major evaluation and most likely there will be many things that Xabi Alonso will fix, especially since Real Madrid's management never skimps on bringing in new players.
If you pay attention to the previous transfer market, Real Madrid itself did not take the opportunity to recruit the players needed even though we know from the beginning of the season they had problems in defense. Ancelotti was so sure he could solve the problem but in fact he failed because he did not have a number of players who could be used for important matches. The arrival of Xabi Alonso next season will be a turning point and Real Madrid needs to find a defender so that the team is much more solid and also congratulations to Barcelona who have become La Liga champions this season. This is what they are doing, Real Madrid deal to sign Dean Huijsen, he is set to sign a five-year until 2030. Real sees Huijsen as top talent and Xabi Alonso wanted to bring him in. A Bournemouth player starts for Madrid! Never compare Laliga and EPL ever again. By the way Between the number of matches. Next season, Madrid should have two teams to return to the top. Xabi also needs to analyze the young players who deserve a chance. IMO |

Bayern might be the only club that won a sextuple and then needed a reset every year for the next 5 years.
The pressure to win every single game is high. No coach is allowed to experiment because as soon as something doesn’t work the coach is already on the way out….
Bayern needs a bold team reset to reclaim Europe’s throne. Refreshing doesn’t just improve Bayern—it future-proofs them.
A youthful, dynamic, and perfectly balanced squad will dominate modern football.
Not having a balanced team in the Bundesliga competition will make it much easier for Bayern Munich to dominate and the loss of Xabi Alonso to Leverkusen will also benefit Kompany. In addition to young, dynamic and well-balanced players, there is also a need for a coach with good experience in Europe because from what we saw Kompany was not able to do much when Bayern Munich competed in the Champions League. It may take time for him to reach that level and it will take good quality players to smooth their way in the next season. Bayern has quality players, but Bayern's performance under Vincent Kompany in the UCL so far doesn’t look like a team. Bayern's high-pressing system under Kompany leaves space behind. Bayern’s cracks are showing and questions are piling up. Why isn’t Kingsley Coman being used to his full potential? However, Kompany has adjusted this team in just 1 UCL season. Next season he will have way better players in certain positions. So I hope they can get better |

Barcelona officially declared their championship.Barcelona defeated their opponent with a dominant game away from Espanyol and managed to complete this season as champions.We can not say that they had much difficulty against their opponent because Barcelona continued to play dominant until the last minute to complete this job here.Barcelona managed to win 2-0 in the match in which Lamine Yamal finished with 1 goal and 1 assist.
Getafe lost 2-0 at home to Athletic Bilbao.The goals came in the last 15 minutes of the match and Athletic Bilbao increased their points to 67 with this win.Getafe still have a chance to say goodbye to the league but I don't think they will say goodbye to the league.They haven't won for 6 weeks and lost their chance to go to the European Cup.
Congrats to Barca... It's celebration time. Domestic treble completed! Leadership that matches the passion on the pitch, Laporta captures the spirit of a team and city united in triumph. Barça’s journey is as inspiring off the field as it is on it! But I am still pained with the last 2 minutes loss against Inter Milan. Araujo is responsible for all this sh*t. I pray that they win the UCL next year. The last time Barcelona traveled to the Champions League final, Lamine Yamal was 7 years old. Now, he is just 17 years old. He will break all records. |
