Well, in terms of reputation, being ranked 3rd is quite bad if Girona is ranked 2nd.

Girona missed their chance to frustrate Barcelona's Attempt to finish second this season by failing to get three points from game with Deportivo Alaves. Deportivo Alaves did not relent to rest with the defeat, even though points are not needed, but maybe just for the record and some match bonuses. It is just three games left in the season for Girona to play, and they will try to make sure that the winner does three games because the point difference between them is not so great and they could easily lose their 2nd place in the table.

But seeing Manchester United's poor performance, I'm not sure Arsenal made a mistake, especially the record away to Old Trafford is not good but on the other hand Gunners want to win to get points and hope that their rivals Manchester City lose to Tottenham.

Manchester United are still in turmoil so it will be difficult to stop the onslaught of Arsenal who are so agile in their attacks, it is not impossible what Manchester United can do to get up but in performance now Gunners are better.

What do you guys think about the odds for the UCL winner:

Real Madrid: x1.30
Borussia Dortmund: x3.50

Looks like oddsmakers are not convinced by the German team eliminating Atletico and PSG and still consider them to be the underdog.
Personally I think it's anyone's game and I think Real will only be slightly better if both teams perform at their 100%.
BvB did quite well in the semi-final and the quarter-final while Real barely made it past Man City and Bayern. You could say that Real had tougher opponents (which is true) but, for what it's worth, Borussia did beat Bayern 2-0 in their last league game.
The mental advantage will definitely be on Dortmund's side.

The way that Leverkusen plays could be an example to so many teams, but I know that it won't be. If the game ended 2-1 then Leverkusen would have been at the finals, that would have been enough for them, they didn't need another score, they didn't need to win or draw, the first game ended 2-0 which means that if they lost 2-1 then they would have been at the finals. You know what ALL the other teams in the world does? They defend in that situation, Real Madrid defended like crazy all game long against City if you remember, or just even more recently last night Bayern tried to defend against Real Madrid. So this isn't some small team thing, even major teams end up defending when in that situation. What did Bayer Leverkusen do? They attacked even more and kept he pressure mounting and they ended up not breaking their unbeaten record. Wonderful team to watch no doubt.

At first we saw hope when Erik Ten Hag arrived, but as time went on we were shown something far from what was expected, so I can say he failed to make Manchester United even better.

We saw how they failed miserably in the Champions League in the group phase. Even though previously they were one of the favorites to advance to the next round. However, in reality they achieved bad results and had to be eliminated in the group stage.

So true. But Victor Osimhen really deserves to be able to play for a bigger club, such as clubs in the premier league. Even Osimhen and the Napoli club did not seem very harmonious at the start of this season after several things happened there. But last season Napoli also retained Osimhen by setting a very high price. And maybe in the next transfer market the same thing will happen. Where Napoli will make clubs interested in signing Osimhen slowly withdraw by setting a high transfer price.

Napoli seems impossible raise the Champion League spot place for this season and I don't sure will Osimhen keep staying with Napoli? currently many top premier league team and PSG are interested for signing him but depend on offering will make Napoli interested or not. Napoli will offer high price for Osimhen because he most talented players but PSG could be one favorite team will sign him to replace Mbappe position, for Premier League teams Chelsea will not qualify to champion league next season and Osimhen will agree join there and not participants in champion league?

Chelsea are reportedly targeting Osimhen. But other speculation and rumors are that Man United also seems to be targeting Osimhen. And even in one news report I read Osimhen gave a sign of his interest in Man United. Even though Chelsea and Man United may not be playing in the UCL, playing for these two big clubs can indeed improve a player's reputation. In fact, Man United is expected to spend quite a lot in the next transfer market because it is reported that 25 percent of Man United's shares have been acquired by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. But PSG, which always dares to make offers with high salaries, seems like it could also be a strong candidate to bring in Osimhen after Mbappe leaves.

Yes, it is also well known that Mbappé is going to Madrid because he has that tremendous position, for me it is much safer for him to go to PSG than for him to go to a MU where he is more likely to get into fights with Ten Hag, therefore it would be very It's bad that this player also goes through the same thing as the majority of players who are in the MU, until they use the MU coach it is not recommended that they go to play there, I wouldn't do it. That's it, I prefer PSG, I think that in PSG you have more options to always go to a UCL than in MU itself, and may the Red Devils fans forgive me, but we all know that it is true.

Not many people are paying attention to Atalanta and Marseille because our eyes are all focused on Leverkusen and AS Roma this season.

In the Atalanta vs Marseille match, they ended the match with a score of 1-1. They also have no different performance, so this result is a fairly fair result for both teams.

Atalanta will probably be more favorites when they play the second leg, because they will play as hosts. That is the advantage they have.

So true. I am also too focused on the Roma vs Leverkusen match. So don't pay too much attention to the Atalanta and Marseille match. And yes, Atalanta, who managed to hold Marseille to a draw in the first leg, will definitely gain an advantage in the second leg. because in the second leg Atalanta will be the host. but Marseille is actually a quite strong team this season. Benfica even lost against Marseille. So Atalanta cannot underestimate Marseille. I hope Atalanta wins and advances to the final. Meanwhile, Roma looks like it will be difficult because they are behind by 2 goals on aggregate in the first leg.

Indeed, the attraction of Leverkusen this season is extraordinary, they are always the main thing to talk about when they play or when they have played. This is very natural because no one thought that this season they would be as good as this.

Maybe if Liverpool were still in this semifinal, we would also pay attention to them, because they are an opponent that many say is a worthy opponent to face Leverkusen. Unfortunately they are no longer in the European League because they were eliminated by Atalanta.
