Elsewhere, the contenders are playing out the penultimate round in the Greek league right now.

Olympiacos leading AEK 1-0, and PAOK 2-0 up vs Panathinaikos. Less than 10 minute plus stoppage time left.

The current scores would leave PAOK top by 2 points ahead of AEK. The other two would be out of the running.

That would set up a fascinating final day. AEK's game against Lamia looks like a gimme, but PAOK have the Thessalonika derby away to Aris, who they've been unable to beat this season (1D, 2L).

My prediction: flares, fires, riots, 16 dead, 400 injured and 1,800 arrests.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think PAOK will win it
They have the H2H record over AEK, so a draw away to Aris will be enough

Great season in Greece will the big 4 all very close to eachother all season, plus Olympiakos reaching their first ever European final

Rube win 1-0.

So Atalanta gonna do a Neverkusen? Like Athletic a few years back under Bielsa.

When's the German cup final, gotta be soon, right?

Saturday 25th May. Still insane to me that Leverkusen are on course for an unbeaten treble season Imagine putting money on that back in August. Yeeesh. Their fans have been living in dreamland all year.

As for Atalanta, I do feel kinda bad for them. I really like them as a club and think Gasperini's done a truly stellar job there, but they do seem to lose quite a lot of cup finals. I would like them to win the Europa because I believe Gasperini deserves to have a trophy for all the excellent work he's done, but Leverkusen will win it pretty comfortably IMO.

25th May? So that's just 3 days after the EL final.

I guess Leverkusen are big favourites for both, but I doubt Atalanta will be a pushover. They have their weapons and can pose quite a formidable challenge on their day, as Liverpool can attest to.

Imagine if Leverkusen did win the EL and went on to lose their incredible record to a second division outfit in the very last game of the season. That would be truly astonishing - a story that could feed generations of Kaiserslautern fans. Just as Leverkusen's season will feed their fans, regardless of the last few matches.

"To be honest by my calculations we have been denied way over 100 clear factual penalties since VAR was introduced and they never gave it. I think it is now actually close to 150."

...and two minutes later:

"I think since VAR being introduced Man Utd have been completely destroyed by wrong decisions by VAR. There has been at least over 500 wrong calls against Man Utd in total. I actually think referees are actually instructed to cheat Man Utd now. That is how blatant it is."

Absolutely top-notch stuff from Hafi. And to think he isn't even Barrying.

Hafi’s amazing.

Did you ever get to see that youtube vid of him in a video game racing competition? Convinced the guy is 100% genuine, I'm just not completely sure how seriously he takes his remarks. Completely, is my guess.

Yeah I did. I think Hafi’s started wum quite a bit more than he used to, though. You can tell from some of the stats he clearly just makes up.

I'll cross-question him

Good luck.

Hamburger SV missed out on promotion yet again whilst their degenerate city rivals, St Pauli go up

They were even more cursed than Spurs are, gives me the teeniest smallest amount of hope

Imagine Alonso declares his work done at Leverkusen at the end of next season and chooses Spurs as his next impossible project.

I thought you'd be all for a club with a traditional Christian name. And degeneration has been part of our European heritage for centuries, why do you have a problem with it?

Then gets sacked 14 months into the job.

Then he should come to us and only manage the champions league games

I think the only other curse worse than ours left is the Benfica European final one

Good shout

Who’s more cursed, Harry Kane or Spurs?
