Girona forward Artem Dovbyk has assessed his chances of becoming the season's top scorer in the Spanish league.
"There are still four rounds left. Everything is possible. But you don't have to think about it, because it can work against you. If you think about goals, it won't work.
I have already had such an experience. I didn't score for about seven games and everyone said that's it, he's already scored enough. I know that if you work hard, you will get your reward on the football field. Then everything will be easy.
The main thing is to prepare for the game and be physically fit. Everything is changing so fast. Bellingham, Lewandowski and Serlot are the main competitors. There's no need to relax," Dovbyk was quoted as saying by the Vzbirna telegram channel.

Thibaut Courtois will be in Real Madrid's starting line-up for the Champions League final against Borussia D

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti plans that goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will play from the first minute in the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund.
According to Spanish publication Relevo, Ancelotti is favouring Courtois in the decisive match of the season at Wembley. Despite the fact that the Belgian goalkeeper has only recently played his first game this season after a long recovery from two injuries, the Italian coach plans to release him from the first minutes of the match against Borussia.
Ancelotti believes that with Courtois in the starting line-up, Real Madrid will have a much better chance of winning, as the Belgian "plays much calmer" than Lunin.
Recall, Andriy Lunin has played in almost all matches this season, winning the competition with Kepa Arrizabalaga. It was the marvellous game of the Ukrainian in goal that allowed Real Madrid to reach the Champions League final.

Famous British commentator Richard Keys is pleased that recently the head coach of London Arsenal Mikel Arteta stopped bringing Ukrainian defender Oleksandr Zinchenko into the main squad of his team.
"Thank God, Arteta's obsession with Zinchenko in that pointless role of inverted wing-back seems to be over.
I wonder, if Arsenal fail to become champions, will Arteta berate himself for playing the wrong team in key matches, such as against Aston Villa?
Playing Zinchenko meant anchoring Rice and giving Havertz a different role. But it didn't work. It doesn't work. Havertz is an "eight and a half" or even a "nine". By the way, do Arsenal really need a true "nine"? After all, the team has scored the most goals in the current APL," - quotes Keys hitc.com.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer spoke about his mistake in the episode with Real Madrid's first goal (1-2) in the Champions League semi-finals.
"Everyone who has ever played football knows how I feel now. I have to be honest and say that I expected the ball to go in a slightly different direction, more towards my chest. I didn't expect it to bounce off the turf like that. That made it hard for me to control it. Then Joselu got to the ball faster and it was hard to stop. It was brutal.
We have made a step towards London, we have already seen ourselves in the final. I'm just speechless," Noer told DAZN.

At the end of the season, Zorya may receive 3 million euros from Real Madrid as bonuses for the transfer of Lunin to this club
Luhansk Zorya may significantly improve their financial situation at the end of the current season.
As reported by journalist Mikhail Spivakovsky on the air of Youtube channel "TaToTake", we are talking about the payment of bonuses on three different positions of the terms of the transfer contract on the transfer of former Zorya goalkeeper Andriy Lunin to Real Madrid in 2018.
According to the source, Real Madrid are obliged to transfer €1m to the Luhansk club upon the occurrence of each of the following events:
- Lunin plays 10 matches for Real Madrid;
- Lunin plays at least 50 per cent of Real Madrid's matches in a season where the team becomes Spanish champions;
- Lunin wins the Champions League with Real Madrid and plays at least 50% of the matches in this tournament.
Thus, Zorya can already expect 2 million euros from Real Madrid (for the first and second of the above events). At the same time, if Real Madrid manages to beat Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final this season, it will bring another €1m to the Luhansk club.
It should be added that in the current season Lunin has played 30 matches for Real Madrid in all tournaments, of which 20 - in the Spanish championship, 1 - in the Spanish Cup, 1 - in the Spanish Super Cup and 8 - in the Champions League.
