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.

Since Xavi is staying, that means that he will want to end the season as well as he could hope for. Finishing third isn't in the plans, deciding to stay and then finishing third and dropping one place after the announcement of staying doesn't seem that great for him. I am sure that it will not be easy at all, but Barcelona needs to get all the wins and hope that Girona drops points somewhere because they really need to get back to second place. Second place at La Liga isn't that horrible, it could happen, its understandable, you can't win always and last year they won, so it is not really a big deal. But third place would be quite terrible, like if it was Athletico Madrid then I would maybe understand, but not to Girona.

I'm kicking myself for not making a small bet on Borussia to win, when the odds were at something like x25.0.
Great win by the Dortmund team, they might not be doing that great in the Bundeliga (currently occupying 5th place), but if they manage to win the UCL I'm sure their fans will forgive them. It would be their second time to win the UCL Cup, the first time was in 1997, so quite a long time ago.

As for the game itself, PSG was extremely unlucky, I think they had like 4 shots that went off the post/cross-bar, but it's fair to say that the Dortmund's win is fully deserved.

They will probably just spend rest of the days with relaxing and resting and trainers, instead of pushing themselves. They have been using a little bit of bench players during this period as well. Like for example our great youth star Arda Guler failed to find himself a spot even though he fully deserved it all season long, but then in the last two games he started in the first eleven, so they are resting some of the players. I am sure that Bayern game will not be that troublesome, I am sure that they are going to end up winning, they looked like the better team if you ask me, but just had unlucky result in the first game.

I think over with Manchester United possibility to reach Europe League spot place next season behind finish on 6th standings position, losing from Crystal Palace over 0-4 make Manchester United drop to 8th place but has second chance qualifying to Europe League by winning FA Cup final match against Manchester City.
Its difficult season for Manchester United since eliminated from champion league group phase, outside from Champion League and Europe League spot standings in this season. I don't know why Erik ten Hag keep confidence become Manchester United manager after bad performance in this season.

Congratulations to Real Madrid who were finally able to win the title again this season after they failed last season. And regarding the remaining matches, that is no longer the main focus for Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid has locked in the championship seat in La Liga. So currently Real Madrid only needs to focus more on the Champions League.

Their Barcelona is quite pathetic. Because Barcelona has experienced 2 defeats by Girona this season. And on the other hand, Girona has been extraordinary this season. And I look forward to seeing how they will perform next season when playing in the UCL.

Real Madrid's excitement was all over social media as they won the LaLiga this season after Barcelona were beaten by Girona, which was a shame for Barcelona to lose twice.
Yes Real Madrid will focus more on the Champion League at the Bernabeu because it is decisive in the second leg match I feel Madrid has a chance to qualify because obviously last night Bayern Munich again performed poorly.
