Barcelona not performing well earlier in the season does not make Barcelona a weak team , if Barcelona is a weak team they would not have reached in the position where they are in laliga. As far as xavi is concerned in Barcelona it is very sure that Barcelona will come back strong in the next season.
Nobody said that Barcelona was a weak team overall. It's just that they've been through the early stages of the season, and it's not just the crisis they're going through I think Koeman has had a hand in this responsibility. Since Xavi took over he has been able to make the team better. That means something is wrong with the way Koeman manages this team. |

Well, I'm curious about the fans, didn't any of the Dortmund fans protest or something like that to keep a key player? So I wonder why they are still Dortmund fans when they realize that this team is only for money and not an achievement. Because as far as I know, even though a team is not on the title track but the team will continue to make improvements, that way their fans will continue to support and be loyal until the team achieves achievements. But about Dortmund, I wonder what makes the fans loyal because when Dortmund have great players they immediately sell them without having any desire to retain at least one title in the Bundesliga and break Bayern Munich's dominance.
The fans' love for the team they support trumps all, even though their team is on the verge of collapse. I don't think the Borussia Dortmund fans are silent either, but that's not enough to make the club's top brass think and give their supporters what they expect. Especially when talking about money, clear sense will be lost if in his mind there is only about money. |

Tottenham really need a new striker to support Harry Kane this summer, that's the only reason the can challenge for title they need another strong and experience striker to add to Son and Harry Kane, players like Lautaro Martinez, Darwin Nunes then I think they have solve the problems that has hinder there progress for years, then they should go for a good right back, they are serious about getting Djed Spence but I do think Adams traore should be better option in that position.
Tottenham actually have a line of players who can bring competition to them. I just don't know why they have a hard time competing with other top teams. They often lose against teams that are giants in the English Premier League. If what makes them so is mental, I don't think so. Because I can say when they play in the Premier League their mentality can definitely be tested. |

Xavi left a good impression last season. He has achieved the maximum possible, higher than a 2nd place was not conceivable. It is actually a miracle that he came in 2nd, because when Koeman was at the helm it had become a big mess, we can compete. Maybe there will be some purchases in the summer to see an even better Barcelona next season. They have a good chance of getting the title.
For a team in a state of crisis and poor play, it's true he made a good impression and also a good start for himself. Now he is the hope for Barcelona supporters to be able to do more next season. Of course this is not an easy task, because he is required to maintain and improve his game next season. |

Real Madrid have prepare much money for next window transfer but all target locked have been missing and Real Madrid failed get Haaland and Mbappe sign's for next window transfer. But Real Madrid still have get new defender because this position most problem faced by Real Madrid after leaving by Raphael Varane. I think with getting Rudiger from Chelsea with free transfer give many advantage for Real Madrid don't have to pay much money for transfer. Now Madrid still have money using for getting new central forward after failing with Haaland and actually with Mbappe.
I do agree that they have missed two amazing names that they could have get, but that happens there is nothing wrong with that. I believe that they are already good, and they just need 3 players that is it the rest is okay. They need one defender which they will probably get with Rudiger, and one midfield which I am sure they will find, and one striker to replace Benzema when the time comes, so just like sub Benzema out time to time to rest him and put that player in, so a young player would do. That three will be enough, maybe like get a second midfield if you can but they do not have to, and all of this combined could cost under 100 million as well. In my opinion, they just need players to fill the void when Benzema can't play. Because as we have seen, when Benzema was absent Real Madrid lost a figure up front. Vini and Rodrigo are good, but it's not enough to replace Benzema's role up front. A few times they have played without Benzema and as a result they have struggled to score goals, this is a job to do well. |

I'm also looking forward to seeing how Guardiola will use Haaland. Manchester City already has a lot of talented players. Raheem Sterling, Jesus, Jack Grealish and Riyad Mehrez are all talented players. Haaland played for Dortmund on Central forward position, so did Guardiola take Haaland as a substitute for Jesus? Guardiola is an experienced coach, let's see if he can make good use of Haaland. Manchester City will be unstoppable next season if Haaland is able to play well. Haaland will be very likely to play in his position in the 4-3-3 scheme. He is a centre-forward and that is the ideal position for him. While so far the CF position has only belonged to Jesus but for next season, Guardiola already has good options to play. It will be interesting to see how Haaland adapts at Manchester City, we will see in pre-season match. This will be a proving ground for Erling Haaland, in the Bundesliga he has transformed into a very good player. But he still has to adapt in this Premier League, will he quickly do that or vice versa, or even fail. I hope he can quickly get into this game in the Premier League. But I'm sure he will be able to do it. |

I totaly agree that barcelona beginning of the season was terrible and if xavi was there from the beginning of the season things would've been different and maybe barcelona could do something but we musn't forget about atletico madrid because they too had a terrible begining of season and they managed to get better in the second half and they managed to secure the third position with only 2 points away from barcelona.
Barcelona still did something actually. Maybe they didn't become the champions in the La Liga but they climbed to the second position very fast. If it wasn't for Xavi, I can't even imagine what Koeman's Barcelona would have done until the end of the season. Xavi's Barcelona are very promising for the next La Liga title. It isn't going to be comfortable at all for them as Real Madrid are going to be a very significant opponent. Real Madrid have been the most consistent team recently in the league. I guess they would be like this next season also. However Xavi Hernandez should be credited for his performance which raised Barcelona from the legacy of Koeman. At the beginning of his announcement there were indeed many who doubted him, but he showed something that left those who doubted him speechless. Yes, it's true to say that Xavi isn't perfect, there are a few things he needs to improve on, but this is a good start for him. |

I think Real Madrid should have paid for Mbappe. After Ronaldo, they could have recaptured the fast football they wanted. Real Madrid's midfielders are getting old now and I don't think they can handle this pace next year. It was already a miracle that they won the champions league this year and it happened. I really wonder which team Pogba will go to. I don't think he will go to the Italian league.
You are right. Despite Real Madrid's weak defense this season, they have won the Champions League and La Liga titles. The main reason is that their midfield is very strong. At the same time, Benzema was playing well entire the season. Modrich may not be with Madrid anymore, Real Madrid needs new talented players in forward, midfield and defense everywhere this season. Let's see which player Ancelotti deems fit for his team. Real Madrid is not unwilling to pay Mbappe, but Mbappe himself prefers to stay at Paris Saint Germain with a higher offer. If you look at Real Madrid's defense I think they just need to improve because I think this season has been good enough. Yes, if you look at their midfielders, it's time to start regenerating. |

I don't know how far the deal between Abramovich and the new owners went but without a new leader, the situation in Chelsea will remain chaotic. UK gov literally destroyed the team, seeing them staying in a CL spot this season was an achievement in its own after their performance drop.
So far there is rumours about Lukaku, Jorginho, Kante, Christensen and Alonso wanting to leave the club.
On May 30th, the deal was officially completed with Chelsea sold to Bowley, who owns several sports teams in the US. The deal amounted to 4.5 billion pounds. The new owner appears to be a seasoned sports businessman and the mayhem at Chelsea is over, he is said to be planning to spend 200m on transfers. Honestly I haven't read about Chelsea's price deal. But if that's the case I think it will stabilize the mess this team is going through. Other factors have always loomed over the football team like what Chelsea is experiencing now, and that has resulted in the team's performance declining and actually for Chelsea this problem came unexpectedly. |

Comparing Manchester United's current condition to that of Ferguson's tenure is the same as not wanting to accept reality, and that's the attitude of supporters who are new to Manchester United or are new to football.
I don't think they're comparing the success that Ferguson had during his time in charge, but they want the trail to not completely disappear. We know since Ferguson decided to leave Manchester United it was like losing the captain and it was a disappointment for his supporters. I think it's good as motivation to manage this team. |

Maybe it will be a little different competition in La Liga this season and the season to come. Because Barcelona has also begun to slowly recover from their slump, it means Real Madrid will again get a serious threat from Barcelona which they did not get this season. Surely this will return an exciting battle between the two teams.
Oh yes, I hope that Sevilla will be able to enliven the top flight even better than this season.

This is what everyone has been saying all season. It has yet to be revealed what their secret is. The route Real Madrid took to win the Champions League trophy was nothing short of amazing. Madrid now has 14 titles for a reason. There's no way to tell if luck played a role in their success. They deserve a round of applause if this was their strategy. Several factors contributed to their victory, including their experience, their great coach, their teamwork, and the saves Courtois made.
The Real Madrid team is very experienced. At the same time their teamwork was remarkable. Benzema was a regular scorer in the squad. He has played very well throughout the season. Their midfield was very strong. And at last coach Ancelotti is very experienced. Real Madrid has been able to win the title thanks to their different match tactics in each match. Of course, luck was with them, at the same time their gameplay and match strategy was awesome. Not only that, they are a very difficult team to beat in the final. Of the 17 matches they played in the Final 14 of them were able to win that match. This proves that they are a very difficult team to beat in this Champions League final. Some people say that Real Madrid is a lucky team, but can it be said that they are lucky if the opponents they face are like that this season? |

I think some teams in the Premier League have to be brave to regenerate their players, like Manchester United. We know that the success that Manchester United had achieved while still with Sir Alex Ferguson was thanks to his success and also made a strong foundation of young players. It will indeed have a risk if you do that and will certainly take a very long time. But there is nothing wrong if this is actually implemented.

Barcelona rebuilt the team well but still need to consolidate it to improve further their record.
Barcelona has quality players both young and old players. Their problem is still the same, they have a problem with finances. What do you mean by 'consolidate' here? They are in the process to return to their strong power and try to play consistently. By having Xavi as the coach, Barcelona is on the right way to be a winning team again. Financial problems are still a frightening specter for the football team regardless of whether it is a big team though. But here Barcelona are lucky enough at least for this season, because they can do better in the middle of the financial crisis that hit them. It is inseparable from their success when appointing Xavi Hernandez to handle this team. |

We can see some statements that I think have become a matter of debate after this Champions League final, such as statements made by Owen which I think are a bit controversial. Indeed, everyone has the right to have an opinion and it becomes a freedom, but keep in mind that it must also be in line with what happens in reality.

Maybe one thing I want to see in the coming season is how Barcelona perform. They have been doing well this season since the arrival of Xavi Hernandez and have given Barcelona a clear purpose. That is certainly a good investment, but we still have to see how consistent the team he has built is. Will he be able to maintain it or vice versa?

All mangers that topped the premier league had stumbling blocks in the first season as coach in the premier.
Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel and Also Antonio Conte.
Eric Ten Hag will face such having played some premier league side's in the Champions League wouldn't help, he has to fail to understand how it goes.
It is not easy when dealing with an English Premier League team to create a team that is highly expected, the very tight competition is certainly a pressure for coaches in the process of building the team of dreams. Moreover, Eric Ten Hag's task is now more difficult because he is required to bring the team he now leads from adversity, of course it will take time to fix this. |

Nobody said Courtois was bad because it was very clear that in terms of goalkeeping at Real Madrid, Courtois deserved a lot of appreciation because his saves were extraordinary, but it would be very complete if Real Madrid's defensive line became stronger again. So a goalkeeper like Courtois won't be too tired in saving a ball shot at goal directly.
Yes, that factor is what causes Real Madrid's defense to not work. But if we look at the overall game I think Real Madrid's defense has done well. It's just that when the goalkeeper made the save it was more highlighted because it was the last save from the players. But it's also not wrong for Real Madrid to be better able to improve. |

I don't think Real Madrid's defense is weak last season. Their defense is stable enough. At the same time they have a great goalkeeper. Courtois is very talented. Real Madrid should strengthen their attack.
If someone says Real Madrid defense is weak, then what is the most losing goals ever conceded to Real Madrid, Real Madrid have Courtois the greatest goalkeeper and even though they escape the Real Madrid defense but will not have a chance to score a goal from goalkeeper Courtois. True, Real Madrid have a stable defense even that is confirmed by the appearance of their excellent goalkeeper, Courtois. Maybe some people think that Real Madrid's defense is weak because they saw Courtois being the last stronghold that was difficult to penetrate, so Real Madrid's defense didn't seem so dominant. |

I think that Real Madrid are going to aim to make the team younger in the near future. It would have been a big step forward for them to bring Mbappe here. They couldn't do anything after he extended his contract with PSG. They would have gone for Haaland as well but Manchester City acted quicker than them. There are still many young and promising players in the transfer market of course but not the majority of them deserve to play for Real Madrid. They will need to pick the right players among them to invest in the future.
Real Madrid's goal was to get Mbappe or Haaland in the squad. However, Haaland has joined Manchester City, and so Real Madrid will not be able to sign Haaland in the next few seasons. Mbappe, on the other hand, is probably not interested in coming to Real Madrid. Real Madrid should find a replacement for Benzema now. Even in the last few seasons, Real Madrid has relied solely on Benzema's performance. If Benzema doesn't play well next season, I don't think Madrid will win any titles. It is true that Real Madrid are dependent on Benzema now, at least for this season which I see is very dominant. But I'm sure they'll find a replacement for him soon though it may take some time. Their young players are also showing positive things as the progress of building a strong team for the future. We also know that Real Madrid always bring in good players in this team. |
