After a 3-3 draw that served as one of the most exciting UEFA Champions League-Half Final matches in the recent memory, Barcelona and Inter return to their domestic competitions with the hope of placing their claims in their title races and to balance that trophy of next week.

The title race of La Liga is expected to remain in favor of Barcelona this weekend, because they currently have a four -point lead over Real Madrid and have to be confronted against last place Real Valladolid on Saturday. The matchup feels like an invitation for manager Hansi Flick to rotate by his team, especially because it will be their 12th match over 38 days. The list of played players could contain the 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, although he will probably still be a talk point after he has impressive in his 100th performance for the club on Wednesday, leaving Thierry Henry awe.

  • Henry: “What I have seen tonight from Lamine Yamal … It is not normal to be at the age of 17. I am not talking about what he does when he is at the ball, his consciousness, how calm he is, how he sees the game, the way he will defend, put pressure on.” A man, “he is not even a man, technically seen.

With regard to Inter, the result of Wednesday broke their three games and scoreless streak, perhaps just in time to breathe new life into their Series A title. They enter the weekend, only three points behind Napoli and have the chance to keep pace at least when they beat 15th place Verona, a game that could be a platform to show their strengths. The game in Barcelona offered a reminder of what Inter’s Attack can look like at their best, something that Francesco Porzio comments could not only be their key to success this weekend, but also for the second stage in Milan on Tuesday.

  • Porzio: “The attacking transitions of Inter, when they could make it happen thanks to the incredible work of their midfielders Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, created many problems for the high line of defense of Flick’s team, which was unable to comprehend them, even if they have been wounded at Wednesday.

Neither of the title race will be packed this weekend, the margins are still too close with four games to go in Spain and three in Italy.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Championships dramatic last weekend

The championship will come on Saturday with a seasonal finale that always appears to be one of the most underrated days on the football calendar thanks to the promotion and relegation races, and this year seems to be destined to keep the tradition of chaos competition alive.

While Leeds United and Burnley have booked their spots in the Premier League edition of next season through automatic promotion, the teams will be in third place up to and including sixth play -offs. Sheffield United and Sunderland have already booked a top six finish, but with one competition, there are five more teams that compete for the last two places – Bristol City, Coventry City, Millwall, Blackburn Rovers and Middlesbrough. Bristol and Coventry are currently in the fifth and sixth respectively, but it wins more or less or remains time for all involved, As James Benge writes.

  • Curvature: “It is Win of Bust for Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough. It is also not much less than for Frank Lampard’s Coventry, who should assume that they will be jumped by at least one of Millwall and Blackburn if they only have a point to do. Top six. A point in Burnley would be heavy enough, they would be dependent from depends on hern toldnn Loses Lane and Bristol City who lose five goals against Preston with a margin. “

Further to the table, seven teams hope to avoid the drop -down to League One – Oxford United, Stoke City, Derby County, Preston North End, Luton Town, Hull City and Plymouth Argyle. Cardiff City has already been banned while Hull and Plymouth are in the lower three, but the margins are tight and there are numerous competitions to keep an eye on, as Wenge notices.

  • Curvature: “A point in Fratton Park can offer hope for Hull in view of their superior target difference, but whatever their result is, their fate is not in their hands. That is because Luton Town really turned it around in their last three games, winning all to mean that they can go to Manageless West. Three of Luton, Preston and Hull.

💵 Dear bets

  • Premier League: Manchester City vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers, Friday, 3 p.m.
    💰 The Pick: Omar Marmoush to Score (+115) – Manchester City may be in the top five while things are, but with the sixth place Nottingham Forest one point behind and the seventh place Aston Villa back four points with four games to go, rest on their laurels are not advised. The responsibility is on the city to get the job done on Friday against Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are currently in 13th place and are essentially in the Lame -duck of their season. With a berth in the edition of the Champions League on the next season line, count on Omar Marmoush to be a central point, especially because there is a enchantment on the sidelines. The Egypt International is a maximum of seven goals in the first months of his enchantment in City, but has the opportunity to continue to build his profile in these last weeks of the season, so a goal on Friday would not only help his team’s business, but his.
