Being an European champion, Portugal are travelling to Russia with a lot of confidence. Two years ago Fernando Santos’ team surprised a lot of people by beating France in the final and winning their first major trophy in history. Now Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates will be hungry for more success on even bigger stage than the European Cup.

It’s clear that Portugal and Spain are the two strongest teams in the group, while Iran and Morocco are the complete underdogs. Most likely the two European teams will fight for the first place.

For Spain this is an interesting moment. La Roja made some serious changes after the dissapointing performance at the Euro 2016. The legendary Vicente del Bosque left the managerial position, being replaced by Julen Lopetegui. For the new manager this is first big tournament and a chance to show everyone what he can do with the team.

After dissapointing performances in 2014 and 2016, Spain really needs to enjoy a strong tournament and bring back the memories for the glory days between 2008 and 2012. La Roja was almost perfect in the qualifications, beating Italy for the first place in Group G. They won 9 of their 10 matches during the qualifiers, showing that they are once again close to their best levels.

Just how it was expected, the new coach made some changes in the team. Some old faces were replaced by younger and more hungry players, which shall give a positive impact on the team. Right now Spain have a healthy mixture of more experienced and younger players, which shall be good for the team.

Meanwhile Portugal also won their group during the qualifiers. Selecao beat Switzerland for the first place in Group B, thanks to a crucial 2-0 win over the Swiss team in the last round. For most of the time the Portuguese team was second in the standings, but when it mattered the most, they raised their levels and enjoyed a very important win.

Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic made an interesting comment on his Camp Nou coach Lionel Messi. Rakitić said that if the Argentine was a tennis player instead of a footballer, he would have won 50 Grand Slam titles (which is 30 more than the record of the Swiss Roger Federer). Rakitic and Messi will be rivals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, as Croatia and Argentina are in Group D at the mid-June championship on the planet.

“As with my other teammates going to the World, I wish him success,” said Goal.com Rakitic. “Of course you are a favorite when you have the best player in the world, nothing that he (Messi) says Argentines are not among the main contenders,” continued the Croatian.

“He may have a title with Argentina, but he has brought many trophies to Barcelona. If Messi played tennis, he would have won 50 Grand Slam titles! But you do not play alone in football, it’s not an individual sport, “Rakitic said.

Milan’s left back Ricardo Rodriguez may return to the Bundesliga. Bayern (Munich) and Borussia (Dortmund) have an interest in it, with the Bavarians having a better chance of attracting him. No formal talks yet, but only meetings with agents. It is believed that Milan would split up with the Swiss national for about 15m euros.

Bayern wants to secure a rival of David Alabas in the left defense zone. So far this role has been played by Juan Bernat, but he is among the players who are expected to leave the Allianz Arena. Originally in Munich they had an idea to buy Jonas Hector, but he re-signed with Cologne, although the “goats” fell into the Second Bundesliga. Rodriguez spent five years in Wolfsburg before joining Milan last summer. With the Rosoners, his performance was unstable and the club tends to sell it at a good offer.

The Swiss national is known for his steady entanglement and is a master of static positions. It will be particularly useful to Bayern if new senior coach Niko Kovacs enforces the 3-4-1-2 scheme in which flank players will play an even more important role.

England has begun winning its preparations for the World Cup in Russia. The Three Lions beat Nigeria’s 2: 1 squad in a game played against 70,000 viewers at Wembley in London. Gary Cahill and Harry Kane scored both home hits in the 7th and 39th minutes, and the guests scored Alex Iuby in the 47th minute.

England started off the game, and after 7 minutes a great opportunity wasted as the ball bear in the middle of the box, giving Gary Cahill the chance to focus the ball on the corner.

The hosts then continued to take the initiative and missed several good opportunities. In the 13th minute, Rahim Stirling shot past the door. Then in the 38th minute Sutling again shot dangerously near the beam.

In the 39th minute England materialized its superiority with a second goal. Stirling handed Harry Kane to the penalty area, and he was on the pitch with 2: 0.

At the beginning of the second part, however, Nigeria started better and returned one shot. In the 47th minute, Alex Iubi with a courageous pass taken Odon Igalo to the penalty area, his shot flipped from the bar but Yubobi was most compassionate to get back to the ball and send it to the net.

In the 69th minute, the Superstars had a new good opportunity, as John Obi Michel fired from a distance and Jordan Pickford had to intervene decisively.

With 86 minutes played, Marcus Rashford received a nice pass in the middle right into the middle of the penalty area, but a corner kick shot just wide of the post.

This was the first of two England controls before the World Cup, with Three Lions playing in five days with Costa Rica. For Nigeria, this is a second check after the 1: 1 draw with Congo days ago. The Supers will have another control with the Czech Republic on 6 June.

Milan can sell striker Andrea Silva to Monaco, says Corriere della Sera. The 22-year-old Portuguese has failed to shine with the Rosoner team who want to get rid of him after just a year’s stay at San Siro. Interesting with him is also from Wolverhampton, the nasal player prefers to take on Louis II because there will be a chance to play in the Champions League.

Andre Silva was drawn from Porto for 38 million euros last summer, but he only scored 2 goals in 24 matches in the A Series. In the Europa League, the Portuguese proved a little better and had 8 hits in 14 games.

Milan now expects to receive 32 million for his rights from Monaco. There is a chance for both clubs to swap players, as “Rosoners” do not hide their interest in the goalmaker of the Monegasque Radamel Falcoo.

Chelsea’s leadership finally refused to pay Maurizio Sari’s contract to break the contract, and it is now almost certain he will not be at the helm of Londoners. The final deadline for paying the eight million euros set in the Napolee mentor contract expired tonight, but no such sum was transferred to San Paolo’s offices.

Although he was fired by Napoli and Carlo Ancelotti was appointed in his place, under the Italian law, the mentor’s contract remains in force if it is not dissolved by mutual agreement. Now the last option for Sari is to try to break the contract by court, but the process can be long, and Chelsea is not willing to wait.

The latest news is that the “Blues” are already considering other options for a new manager, with Lorran Blanc’s most common name. Londoners can retain their current manager, Antonio Conte, who has a contract for another year.

Zinedine Zidane is no longer a coach of Real Madrid. The Frenchman called for an extraordinary press conference to confirm that he was leaving the Royal Club. Earlier in the day, Zizu met with President Florentino Perez, and then the club outlined the meeting with the media. Shortly after 2 pm, the two of them stood together in front of the journalists and announced the news. The main reason the Frenchman has pointed out is the need for change after the big successes in recent years. Zidane had a contract with the club by 2020, after re-signing his contract in January this year.

Zidane took on Real Madrid on January 4, 2016, when he changed to Rafael Benitez. He led the team in 878 days, becoming the most successful coach in the history of the club with 9 won trophies – 3 times in the Champions League – 2016, 2017, 2018, the title of Spain – 2017, the Super Cup of Europe – 2016, 2017, the World Club Championship – 2016, 2017, Supercup of Spain – 2017.

Zidan leads the largest club on the planet in a total of 149 games in all tournaments. Under his leadership, Cristiano Ronaldo and the company won 104 games, with only 16 defeats, and 29 times Real. The Royal Club has 69.80% wins with the French specialist.

Inter team achieved its great goal and will play in the Champions League next season. The Nerazzurri reached the 4th place in Serie A in a very infamous way with a 3: 2 victory over Lazio at Olympiaco. The “Eagles” led twice to the result after Ivan Perisic’s own goal in the 9th and Felipe Anderson’s shot in the 41st minute. Inter, however, did not surrender to the last one and managed to score a goal with Danilo D’Ambroseo in the 29th, Mauro Icardi in the 78th minute and Mathias Vesino in the 81st minute. For the success of the guests helped also the fact that Lazio finished the match in a reduced number after the 80th minute Senad Lulic was expelled from the game. The match was played in front of a record crowd in Lazio for many years, but the hosts’ typhoons were disappointed after the game.

Inter is back after six seasons in the Champions League. Just 2,259 days after dropping out against Olympique Marseille in the eighth finals in 2012, the Milan Grand is again among the best in Europe.

Luciano Spaleti’s team ended the season in fourth place with 72 points, with Lazio remaining, who needed a point to keep the fourth position. “Nerazzurri”, however, are the big winner after having an advantage in the direct fights after 0: 0 of the San Siro.

Lazio bet on goal scorer Ciro Immobile in an attack that was backed by Felipe Anderson in front. Stefan Lulic and Adam Marushic acted on the wings.

Inter took off with Mauro Icardi as the main striker, and he was assisted by the attacking midfielder Ivan Perissic, Rafina and Antonio Candreva.

The atmosphere of Olympiacos was unique, with nearly 69,000 typhoons filling the stands. It was the finals for the ML in the calcio, as the two teams were arguing for the final fourth position.
In the 5th minute, Ikardi delighted in the penalty area and made a faint strike of volley that passed the door.
A minute later, Marusic fired the door of Samir Handanovic, but he did not find the outlines.

In the 7th minute, Ciro Immobile almost acted out in the goal field, where Luis Felipe had a good position but could not find the outline of the door.

In the 9th minute, Sergey Milinkovic-Savic took Adam Marusic to the penalty area, the Montenegrin tried a shot that ricocheted in the head of Ivan Perisic and lied the goalkeeper to get his 1: 0 net.

Inter was quick to answer and in the 15th minute Matthias Vesino fired at land from a distance but right in the hands of Thomas Strachosha.
In the 22nd minute the guests created their best attack so far. It was speedily behind the defense, but his shot was too disappointing and past the door.

In the 25th minute, the “Nerazzurri” made a lot of luck when Milinkovic-Savic’s shot from a foul shot off the beam.
In the 29th minute, Inter reached leveling. One corner kick D’Ambrosio was missed on the far beam, his first head shot was reported by Strachosha, but he added a close look at the addition. The home team claimed a free kick for the keeper, but it was a failure.

In the 41st minute, Lazio set up a quick counter, Senadel Lulic with a good pass between two defenders brought Felipe Anderson to the ball, who calmly sent the ball to the goal for 2: 1.

In the 45th minute, Milinkovic-Savic’s shot went past the door.

In the 52 minute, Luis Felipe found himself pushing him in front of the penalty box but his shot went just wide.
At the 64th minute, Eder shot his head over the door. Two events later moved back to the other door and Felipe Anderson made a dangerous but inaccurate shot.

At the 71st minute, the referee gave Milinkovic-Savic a penalty shot at one corner from a corner, but then canceled his decision after seeing a repeat of the situation and saw that there was no one.

In the 78th minute, Stefan de Fry cut Maura Icardi into the penalty area and this time Gianluka Rocky was categorical that it was a penalty. Ikardi himself executed the penalty and was correct for 2: 2.

A minute later, the hosts stayed low after Senado Lulic was eliminated from a second yellow card.

With a man more Inter attacked and Karamos first missed a good opportunity, and in the 81st minute Matthias Vesino scored a 2: 3 head after a corner kick.

At the end Lazio tried to get to the leveling that would be enough for the hosts, but their efforts did not work. So Inter finished in 4th place with a 72-point asset, as the “Eagles” did, but they are still 5th due to the worse performance in the direct duels. Thus, the “Nerazzurri” will play in the Champions League, and the Romans will be satisfied again with participation in the Europa League.

Simone Indzagi’s team made a great season, but eventually his luck turned his back. “The Eagles” will regret a whole summer that last week they did not win in their visit to Croton (2: 2), which would guarantee them return to the Champions League before the last round.

Barcelona striker Lionel Messi won the “Golden Boot” for Europe’s top scorer for the fifth time in his career. The Argentine finished the season with 34 hits in the Primera Division and so secured the Pipichi trophy.
Messi failed to score in the last season’s Barca season against Real Sociedad (1: 0). He appeared to be the substitute for a free kick and had a good chance of getting one as, but the shot was well blocked by the keeper. However, he finished at the top scorer in Spain and on the continent. The same number of goals scored Benfica Jonas, but he is behind Messi in the league because of the lower odds of the Portuguese Championship.

Argentina’s Mohamed Salah and Tottenham Hotspur, who scored 32 and 30 goals in the Premier League season, were also in the list.
Today, Chiar Immobile from Lazio and Mauro Icardi of Inter were the last chance to beat Messi. The two faced each other in the big clash for the 4th place in the A Series. The Argentine was able to score a penalty for his team’s 3-2 win, ending the season with 29 goals, as Immobile has, and they will share the top prize in Italy.

Mesi’s big competitor in recent years, Cristiano Ronaldo, has ended the 26-hurl of the Primera campaign and finished right behind the Argentine in the rankings.

Barcelona finished the season in the Primera Liga with a 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad. This was the last match for the legendary Catalans of André Iniesta, who started as a champion and stayed on the field 82 minutes before leaving the field under the wild applause of Camp Nou fans. The duel was also favored by the Basque legend of the Basques, but only a few minutes later. The only goal in the game was Philippe Coettinho, but he was extremely handsome. The Brazilian scored a diagonal shot in the 57th minute.

Expectedly, Lionel Messi was left out of the starting 11, and Lewis Suarez and Philippe Coettinho were in front of the Los Cules.

For Real in the top position was Vicenza Jose, who had the support of Adnan Janusay, Huangi and Mikel Oijasabal.

Before the start of the meeting Cavi Hernandez awarded Mesi for the best football player in La Liga for the month of April. The hosts were welcomed with a splinter of Real Sociedad’s players.

The guests had the first position in the match. Already in the second minute, Vican Jose received a centering in the pennant and shot his head around the penalty point, but right in the hands of Mark-Andre Terghegen.

In the 7th minute Janusay fired a long shot, which was saved by the goal keeper.

In the 10th minute Iniesta left his first trace of the match as he shot from the limit of the pennant and the ball went dangerously close to the beam.

In the 18th minute Gerard Pique’s shot was saved by the goal keeper.

In the 25th minute, Ivan Rakitic found himself in the back of the penalty box and sent a dangerous shot, but the ball was just wide. Two minutes later, Luis Suarez missed the target.
There were two options for the Basques. In the 30th minute, Mikel Oyasalabab made a bumpy shot, and then Villian José found himself in a good position in the 40th minute, but he missed the goal.
In the 57th minute, Philippe Coutinho loosened the corner to the right, and with a perfect diagonal shot, the goalkeeper made 1: 0.
In the 69th minute the hosts set up a quick counter, Luis Suarez put his shot, but made a very weak and inaccurate stroke.

In the 77th minute, Lionel Messi combined with Luis Suarez with a soft pass in the penalty area but the Argentine shot was saved by the goalie.

In the 85th minute Paco Alcasser advanced on the right, but his shot went just over the bar.

Barcelona eventually congratulated itself on the success and ended the season with 93 points on the top. Real Sociedad remains the 13th with 49 points earned in the campaign.
