So far I only see Bayern Munich who are seriously active in improving their squad for next season and therefore they have completed deals with several players. However, other teams such as Leverkusen, Dortmund, Leipzig have not yet seen their movements in the transfer market this time and only a few rumors have emerged.

Is it possible that some of these teams are still monitoring the talents who are currently competing at Euro 2024? because every time there is a competition, it always produces shining players who will be competed for by various teams. On the other hand, I know that the depth of their current squad is no problem at all and I think if this season there are no additional new players then they are confident with the squad available.
After experiencing a slump and also not being able to maintain their dominance this season, of course, Bayern Munich began to try to improve their squad in order to be able to compete next season, this season is certainly the worst season experienced by Bayern Munich after more than 10 seasons dominating the Bundesliga, so it is not surprising that they seem to be very active in monitoring every player who is considered qualified to be able to add depth to the their squad next season, the change of coach is certainly not enough for Bayern Munich to get back on their feet so indeed they continue to target several new players for them to get next season.

Actually several other teams are also doing the same thing with Bayern Munich, but I think clubs like Dortmund and Leverkusen tend to look for new talent and also players who are not famous for them to recruit because indeed their finances are not as good like as Bayern Munich, but what you say is also true, currently Euro 2024 is of course one of the solutions for every club to look for new players because it is usually in the euro we will see Many talented young players stand out but have a low price.

There wasn't much Xavi could do last season, so he relied on defensive play and didn't create as many chances as arch rivals Real Madrid did. Barcelona does not have players who are hungry for goals even though they have Lewandowski because this player is old so it is natural that his stamina is not as strong as before. But I don't agree that Lewandowski doesn't get support from his club mates because in fact his teammates always help him but he often misses it, this proves that his abilities have indeed declined. Unlike in his first season with Barcelona his performance was still quite good at that time but since he experienced last season's injury he suffered a setback.
Barcelona was indeed unable to achieve all the great achievements last season after Madrid's dominance was too big in La Liga, Barcelona finances are of course the reason behind all Barcelona helplessness in competing, but in my opinion, Xavi has put out all his abilities in bringing Barcelona to still be a team to be reckoned with in La Liga with all the limitations that have existed so far, Xavi ability and what he has done so far should have received great appreciation from Barcelona, instead of firing him for ridiculous reasons.

Talking about performance, of course Barcelona performance under Xavi care has increased dramatically, although they are only relying on a makeshift squad but they were able to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League and also finish in the second position in la liga standing, Lewandowski has an age that is no longer productive as a striker but he is still able to make a great contribution to Barcelona attack line so far,  we admit that Lewandowski is a great striker, but for now, of course, Barcelona cannot fully hope from Lewandowski to remember his current age.

Argentina team was strong enough in this match, but somehow could not achieve success in attacks. Only one corner kick was on target, but the rest of the attacks were more difficult but all of them hit the post and the ball went out. Claudio Bravo This goalkeeper of the Chile team has worked hard, and he is an experienced goalkeeper which proved in this match.
Although he could save almost the whole match, he failed to save this corner kick attack in the 88th minute. But the goalkeeper of the Chile team performed well throughout the match, Claudio Bravo, if he did not perform well, the goal difference would have been more.

Although Argentina made a slight change in its squad against Chile but the achievement of 3 points in the match managed to make Argentina the first team to qualify for the last 8 of the Copa America today, I don't know why the coach reserved Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes in the match but it seems that it is less effective for Argentina to create a lot of offensive creativity that can be a goal,  Since the match began, Argentina immediately took the initiative to attack and even unlucky for Messi if the opportunity from the shot he made only hit the goal post and made both teams have to end the first half with a score of 0-0, throughout the first half I did not see if Chile attacked and they only focused on defending, was it indeed the coach instruction or was it precisely the strength of the attack built by Argentina forcing them to defend completely?.

Compared to the first half, the second half was even more fierce in my opinion, because in the second half Chile also began to dare to attack the Argentina defense even though it was not as great as what Argentina did, after Di Maria was played I saw that the attacks carried out by Argentina began to vary compared to the first half, Argentina players began to feel frustrated after Bravo was able to thwart their chances throughout the match,  Finally, the goal was created after the corner kick made by Messi was able to be used by Martinez who was in the right position to score, in that match Bravo should have deserved to be the Man of the Match after being able to make many crucial saves.

I didn't pay much attention to Group E. And yes, it turns out you are right that the points earned in Group E are quite unique. Because all teams have got the same points, namely 3 points. And talking about Group E we will look at the Belgium vs Ukraine match today and also the Slovakia vs Romania match. And actually Belgium is my favorite for today. Their captain, De Bruyne, must be able to win today. And I'm also looking forward to Lukaku's performance, which is actually not that good at this Euro. And I hope he shows his abilities again, which can actually be even better. But I wouldn't dare to bet big because I also doubt them a little. but I imagine it would be something unique if in today's match all the teams in Group E got 1 point because of a draw.  Grin
Belgium were just unlucky in the first match against Slovakia, but they dominated in both matches and I expect them to continue this today in the match against Ukraine. Despite the fact that Ukraine played their second match much better, Belgium will remain the undoubted favorite. I also think that Slovakia is capable of beating Romania, but Romania can try to play in a draw, so I’m almost sure that Belgium has the best chances, and Slovakia and Romania must decide among themselves who is stronger.
Many of us previously predicted that Belgium would be able to easily qualify from group E, because compared to the quality of players owned by other teams in group E, of course Belgium is much superior to Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine, but in fact compared to other groups, group E is the tightest group so far,  Just like you, I also previously predicted that Belgium would get full points in all their matches but what is happening now is that their performance is not better than the other  teams in group E, the last match, of course, all teams will exert all their abilities to be able to play to the maximum because the last match will be a life-and-death match for all teams in group E.


Come on guys, I think we can't be unlucky factor  in football as the reason for Belgium defeat in the first match, because after all the final result of the match is greatly influenced by hard work, performance and also the spirit of never giving up in achieving victory, indeed in that match Belgium quite dominated the game, but I think we all agree if indeed Lukaku and the other Belgian attackers did not perform optimally in the match,  Especially after Slovakia first goal was created in the 7th minute  Slovakia game became very good and we must also admit that Slovakia has a solid defense against Belgium.

Currently he is a young player who is quite celebrated, even if I look at the actual news, I think there is too much overhype about the news about what happened to Madrid's wonderkid this time, but this is purely from my opinion, which is quite lay and doesn't really know how he looks. in Palmeiras because I rarely see the Campeonato Brasileiro so I don't know how Endrick actually performs.



But on the other hand, looking at the statistics for this season and last season, it actually shows that his potential is still great for a young player, but he really needs to do a lot of things if he wants to be recognized in Europe because I think that's still not enough for Endrick now.

If he can follow in the footsteps of his seniors Vin, Rodrygo and Militao by playing well in Madrid then his potential will indeed be even greater.
In recent seasons many young Brazilian talents have become an attraction for European club clubs, of course this cannot be separated from Brazil which has been famous as the birth of modern football and also a country that is synonymous with football, Endrick is one of the talented players who has been the target of many big clubs to recruit and was lucky enough for Madrid to get him from Palmeiras last season after competing with other big European teams,  Currently, Endrick is predicted to become a star player next season and with his talent and ability to play, of course this can happen if he can get many opportunities to play in Madrid later, but if not, of course maybe he will also suffer the same fate as other talented young players who indeed failed to meet the expectations of the team that recruited their.

His performances with Palmeiras so far have been quite impressive and even at his current very young age, he has been included in the Brazil national team squad so it shows that if he has quality compared to other young players in the current Brazilian club, Madrid currently has a lot of young players so indeed they can be an asset and also a long-term project for Madrid in the future.

Unlike the previous season, when David De Gea was still Man United's goalkeeper, the club did not concede as many goals as last season. If Erik Ten Hag had not replaced him with Andre Onana, the club would not have experienced as many problems.

Blaming Onana completely is actually also bad. I think there are many factors when Man United concede a lot this season. You have to remember this season there are not many Man United defenders in good shape. Many Man United players are injured. So it was purely in the team not Onana. Ten Hag's strategy also has a lot of blunders. The players made a lot of mistakes. The flow of the ball from below does not go well, possession is easily lost. When under tight pressure, Man United is always weak to protect the ball. Many players are confused about where the ball will be given. It's a classic problem but Ten Hag has to work hard to eliminate these mistakes.
Onana became one of the most expensive purchases made by Manchester United to meet the request from Ten Hag, Onana was of course one of the players who made Manchester United have to spend a lot of money when Ten Hag came to Manchester United and had the desire to make Manchester United triumphant again, but in fact after fulfilling all ten Hag's requests and spending a lot of money, Manchester United fell in the second season of Ten Hag coaching,  Actually, Onana performed quite well with Intermilan and Ajax, personally Ten Hag knows Onana very well because the two of them used to work together when Ten Hag was still coaching Ajax.

Actually, the majority of players recruited by ten hag so far are good players, including their defenders, but for some reason it seems that they were only able to show good performance when they first joined and over time their performance actually declined drastically as it is today, the number of goals conceded at Manchester United at the moment of course we cannot blame individuals by Onana,  But indeed with their current squad, of course, we should question, how the scheme and game strategy applied by Ten Hag so far so that they can be so slumped.

Another stupid decision by Chelsea, they spend 57 Million Euros just for this unknown 17 years old kid played for Palmeiras. He's not perform really good in Palmeiras and he's not joined in Brazil's senior team, he's not Endrick.

We shouldn't forget that Chelsea last year signed Deivid Washington from Santos for 17 Million Euros, but he didn't give any contribution to Chelsea.

Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/chelsea-sign-palmeiras-prodigy-estevao-155400154.html
Chelsea are trying to make their attacking line dangerous next season by gathering talented young players, surprisingly when Madrid spent almost 72 million euros to get Endrick who has indeed been quite prominent with Palmeiras so far, Endrick who managed to break through the first squad and even managed to score 14 goals is of course one of the young talents who deserve to be valued expensively , But to be honest, like you, I didn't expect Chelsea to gamble by signing Estevao at a very high price for a player of his age, Palmeiras has often produced many Brazilian stars over the years and of course it is an attraction for many big teams to continue to monitor each of their players.

Estevao in my opinion is not very prominent in his performance at Palmeiras but many predict that he will be able to become a big star in the future, so indeed Chelsea are offering him a long contract at the moment, but I think the arrival of Estevao will actually add to the number of players who are in the attacking wing position in the current piling up in Chelsea squad, so it is likely that Estevao fate will also be no different from Mudryk later because he lost the competition with Palmer, Raheem Sterling and Noni Madueke.

You are right, winning a trophy is all about luck, and Arsenal did not have the luck to win any. Arsenal were in top form from the start of the season, but when it came to winning the trophy, they lost their games. The Gunners made the same mistake season every season. I believe that if a player wants to play for an impressive club, he should join Arsenal, but if a player wants to win a trophy in his career, he should join another club because Arsenal does not have the luck of winning trophies.

In the Premier League, I always wonder if other managers are afraid of competing with Guardiola for the title. Manchester City has not faced any difficult rivals in the past four seasons, allowing them to win comfortably. Arsenal tried to stop them for the last two seasons, but they were unable to stop Guardiola from winning the league. If Arteta wants Guardiola to leave Manchester City before he can win the league, then I believe they are not ready to win the trophy they have been chasing for so long. Guardiola's contract with the club ends next season, and I believe he will do all in his power to win the Premier League title before leaving. Arsenal will have a difficult time winning the league next season.
I don't know if winning the English league trophy requires luck so far, because all this time I think that with the competitiveness of the English league then what is needed by a club to win the English league is of course consistency, a qualified squad and also a strong team mentality and so far I have never seen a luck be an important factor in winning the English league title and of course after reading your post,  I feel wrong if I think that hard work will have a better impact on a team, including Arsenal, so if luck should be the determinant to be able to win the championship trophy next season, of course at this time Arsenal do not need to improve the quality of their team because indeed a gambler says luck is the most important thing compared with hard work and expertise.

Arteta, of course, is currently starting to try to bring in some new players who are considered capable of making their team quality, consistent and have a champion mentality, so that will they can be able to compete with Manchester City who have had a qualified squad and are supported by very strong finances in building a solid team every season, so that they can continue to be able to excel above other teams in the Premier League and of course at this time Manchester City has had 4 seasons of luck in winning the Premier League, I hope other teams in the Premier League will also have better luck than Manchester City next season so that they can break the dominance and luck that Manchester City currently has.

Brazil, even with its great team, could lose to Costa Rica, but don't doubt their potential. With this bad phase and the loss of identity of the players, they are capable of anything, even losing to teams that have no tradition or expensive players.

After seeing the results of the match, it seems that what Ronaldinho said was true about Brazil's game.

Brazil played much better than Costa Rica from the first half to the second half. All of Brazil's lines were superior, but it was all in vain because they were only able to get 1 point.
It's not because Costa Rica are bad, but Brazilian players don't seem to have the instinct to score goals.
It was difficult to find the enthusiasm to watch a match that Ronaldinho once said was justified judging by their performance today.

Hopefully the current Brazilian players can make what the legend said is not true.
Even though they managed to get 1 point in the match, but at this time Brazil showed us their very small mentality, facing Costa Rica should be an easy match for Brazil considering that Brazil has a better squad than Costa Rica, achieving one point of course makes Brazil currently have to be satisfied with being in second place,  Against Costa Rica which is a relatively weak team and even Brazil managed to control the match up to 75% of course it is quite funny if in the match Brazil has to draw 0-0, Brazil has many chances in the match but only a few are able to endanger the Costa Rica goal.

What Ronaldinho said and previously denounced by many Brazilian legends in fact now has been proven to happen, the Brazilian squad is of course dominated by talented young players and it can even be said that they are the best squad in the Copa at the moment with Argentina, but in fact their attacking line was not able to create a single goal in the match against a team of Costa Rica class and expected a lot from Brazil in the next match of course it may be a a fault for us.

[...] Modric missed a penalty in this match, but he made up for it with the goal he scored a few minutes later.

As it should be, overcomes his mistakes is a must for him. In my opinion, Modric's kick was too relaxed, so it could easily be predicted and then pushed over by Donnarumma, Luka Modric should have used the penalty opportunity made by Frattesi's mistake. But unfortunately, in the end Italy was able to equalize the score of this match through a beautiful kick given by Zaccagni through a pass given by Calafiori.
Croatia cannot blame Modric for their failure to qualify for the next round just because of the missed penalty, because after all Modric has paid for the mistake with the goal he created, Modric was able to bring his team to play quite well and even after Modric was replaced towards the end of the second half, Croatia had many opportunities that should have been well utilized by Croatian players but in fact Croatian players are relatively often thrown away Chances and time in the match, Croatia who were indeed superior in the match until extra time were more relatively satisfied with a 1-goal advantage so that they forgot that the Italian team could rise before the end of the match, but even so, of course we should appreciate the hard work done by the Croatian squad in the match although in the end they had to hope for luck in the best 3rd position at the moment.

Currently, Croatia still has a chance to qualify from the third best position at this time, because indeed they can still compete with other teams that are currently in the best position and hope that the team that is currently in the 3rd position is the best and hope that other teams get bad results so that they can make Croatia at least get 1 place among the 4 teams that qualify through the best 3rd position,  Croatia must expect the Czech Republic to lose to Turkey and also Slovenia to lose to England with a score of more than 3 goals.

Stuttgart is one of the most surprising teams this season, this is their 4th season after successfully being promoted 4 years ago. In their first season, they were able to compete in the middle of the Bundesliga standings, then in the 2nd and 3rd seasons they were almost relegated by only being at the bottom of the table and even last season they had to play a play off match to determine whether they could stay in the Bundesliga or not. they have to return to the second caste.
However, this season they were surprisingly able to compete at the top of the standings and they even managed to finish in 2nd place in the standings above Bayern Munich as the record holder who had to be broken this season by Leverkusen. So, starting next season, Stuttgart will be a team that is taken into account to provide competition in the Bundesliga. Not only that, I also hope they can compete in the Champions League, even though it is difficult because they don't have much experience.
Stuttgart achievements this season are indeed quite impressive and even like Leverkusen this season, of course no one expected that Stuttgart could perform quite impressively and even end the season in second place at the moment, Stuttgart which in the last few seasons is only a mediocre team but actually provides a lot of resistance for big teams this season so it is not surprising that they were able to end the season above Munich this season,  Stuttgart will play in the Champions League next season so they should have a thorough preparation to be able to go far in the Champions League.

Stuttgart certainly surprised us this season but to hope that they can do it again next season of course will be very difficult to happen in my opinion, this season Stuttgart's ability to win second place is of course inseparable from the slump in performance owned by Bayern Munich and other teams in the Bundesliga, so I think maybe without the squad improvement made by Stuttgart later then we will see Stuttgart return to being a team that will only are in the middle and bottom of the Bundesliga next season.

AC Milan will play with a new coach, Paulo Fonseca, after they officially parted ways with Stefano Pioli after leading AC Milan to finish in second place in Serie A this season. This is actually a bit surprising, because Ac Milan are also playing well this season, despite their failure to become champions, but overall their game is quite good and could be in the runner up position at the end of the season.
However, it seems that AC Milan is not satisfied with this, so they decided to part ways and appoint Paulo Fonseca as their new coach. I hope that under Paulo Fonseca's coaching AC Milan can be even better, especially in the race for the Scudetto title.
They are one of the big teams in Serie A, but the same problem happened to them so they experienced a decline and now they are starting to show that they are ready to get up and compete again for the Scudetto title.
AC Milan made a change of coach this season after they have been under the coaching of Pioli so far, Pioli has actually managed to bring Milan so far quite good and continues to be able to compete in the Scudetto race, but unfortunately the owners of Milan seem to be not satisfied with Pioli performance so they fired him and replaced Pioli with Fonseca, I don't know what is in Milan mind but I don't think the change of coach will have the effect It means for Milan if they do not improve the quality of the current squad, if we pay attention to the profile and experience of the two coaches, of course we can see if Fonseca is not better than Pioli.

Milan have officially signed Fonseca and of course they have high hopes to be able to see Milan return to its glory, especially in the Champions League, but in my opinion, Fonseca, who has been prioritizing attacking games, of course must overhaul the Milan squad as a whole because so far Pioli has often prioritized a strong defense by relying on counterattacks to defeat his opponents.

Chelsea's spending just started because the new coach will do his own shopping too; he will sign some players he thinks will be better for his team and sell out some players he thinks cannot help his plan and the team, even though the team has yet to get the best out of the player since they signed him. This change of coach will never favor them on time; it will make the management keep losing money since all new coaches come with the mindset of being given some money to sign more players.
Chelsea will enter a new era with Enzo Maresca next season, this season Pochettino has managed to form a Chelsea team with the majority of young players and was able to improve their performance rapidly even though it was a little late at the end of the season, next season Chelsea of course has a very big ambition to be able to return to be a title contender after several seasons they have been down and of course Enzo Maresca will be responsible for being able to take Chelsea even better Later, it is reported that Chelsea is currently eyeing several new players for them to recruit next summer.

Enzo Maresca is a coach who is known to be smart and is also able to make many changes to the team he coaches as well as when he coached Leicester City, but coaching Chelsea is not an easy thing to do at this time, especially indeed Todd Boehly as the owner of the club wants to see Chelsea rise in a short time and does not hesitate to fire a coach who is unable to do so.
94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: June 24, 2024, 09:29:12 AM
Its normally, when spending much money and signing any top players with current transfer fees above 100 million the Chelsea owner needed instant achievement keep in the Premier League tittle race or Chelsea must finish on top fourth standings place.
Difference if any owner lack spending money for signing top players and actually need progress waiting good achievement for several years later and Todd Boehly won't its.

Chelsea's signed some players above 100 million euro from Enzo Fernandez, Moisés Caicedo and Mykhailo Mudryk but Pochettino failed get their top level performance and Chelsea have finish outside of Champion League spot standings. But get negative impact when sacking manager every season and players will need adapt new tactician under difference manager from Pochettino era to Enzo Maresca era.
Not guarantee with the Chelsea new manager have existing with his position if get failure bring the Blues reach the top fourth standings position behind the interested of Todd Boehly want to get instants achievement.
Football is a complicated sport and many factors can affect the success of a club, Todd Boehly has done the right thing by providing a lot of financial support for Chelsea to sign expensive players, but this is Chelsea problem right now when Chelsea are too ambitious to win the championship trophy in the near future, Pochettino and whoever the coach is coaching certainly does not have the magic wand that can turn their squad into a Very great in just one season, currently Chelsea is of course full of talented young players and of course Chelsea has to give a lot of time to their coach to be able to develop their squad to be better.

Buying players at an expensive price certainly does not guarantee that the quality of the players will be as expected by the team, we can see how Chelsea bought Mudryk at a very high price, but they are not getting the maximum results from Mudryk at the moment, I think it should be with the young and talented squad that Chelsea has at the moment it is certainly possible for them to become a very strong team and become a title challenger next season but with the condition of Enzo Maresca able to make the most of the current squad.

Amazing, Germany equalized with the goal they scored in the last extra time and they left the group without defeat. Switzerland came in second. It was no surprise to anyone that these two teams emerged from Group A. In the goal scored by Germany, the Swiss defense could not intervene with the ball coming from the air, Füllkrug received the ball in the air and threw the ball into the corner, bringing Germany the equalizing goal.
Germany actually no longer has the motivation to win because they have qualified for the round of 16 by winning two matches, so I think previously Germany and Switzerland will play their eyes to get 1 point in the match but in fact both teams played quite impressively and ensured both to qualify for the round of 16, so far head to head Switzerland and Germany look quite balanced and it can be said that the two teams often beat each other international match although in terms of quality Germany is superior, the draw between the two teams last night is certainly not surprising in my opinion, because indeed both of them appeared quite impressive throughout the match, Germany who was indeed more dominant actually had to concede first from Switzerland but fortunately they were able to equalize the score in the last minute of the match and make the score 1-1 as the final score.

Another match that actually surprised me very much, the match between Scotland and Hungary was played at the same time as the match Germany vs Switzerland, Scotland who were the favorite to qualify for the next round actually suffered a painful defeat to Hungary, throughout the match, Scotland managed to dominate the game over Hungary but they were unable to create a single chance to break into the Hungarian goal, while Hungary actually played more effectively and created There were many chances in the match, Hungary goal in the 90+10th minute finally destroyed Scotland dream to be able to qualify for the next round with the status of the third best ranking at this time.

It's actually such a shame, because I could remember when Napoli actively won the league with so much points difference even before the was concluded now only for them to come back the following season and play this nonsense and it's just quite sad to see how they drastically reduce from a one time power house Napoli to something else I mean it's crazy man.
Last season was a very impressive season for Napoli, their ability to win the Scudetto at the time is really great because they are able to compete with other big teams, last season Napoli managed to become the most productive team in scoring goals while having the strongest defense with conceding very few goals, but what fans expected to continue their glory this season had to be stopped after Spalletti resigned As a Napoli coach, Spalletti poor relationship with the club owner was the beginning of Spalletti decision to step down which ultimately made Napoli suffer a slump like this season.

The many changes of coaches made by Napoli are actually unable to lift their performance and even make the team even more regressive, not only in the scudetto competition Napoli also has to be absent to play in European competitions next season after failing to penetrate the European zone this season, Conte arrival at this time of course makes Napoli fans hope a lot if their team will be successful and let's see if they bounce back or remain like an old car walk.

Last season alone, Xabi received more offers to train other clubs, although in the end he preferred to stay at Leverkusen as usual. And this will of course make many people curious about Leverkusen's performance in the Champions League because the team is still coached by the same coach so there are many people who have high expectations for Leverkusen. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Leverkusen failed to win the Champions League because this league is a league that is very difficult to predict.
We cannot deny that Leverkusen is the only team that has performed quite well this season while still maintaining their unbeaten record in the league, besides that with a makeshift squad that is barely strengthened by star players actually makes Leverkusen add to their greatness, so that this directly affects Alonso prestige as a coach, before making Leverkusen like today maybe no big team wants to Risking their team on Alonso is his very little experience in coaching, but after all he has done at Leverkusen this season it is certainly not surprising that make Liverpool, Munich and several other big teams want to sign him as a coach.

Alonso survival at Leverkusen certainly makes the hopes of a big team recruiting Alonso dashed at this time, but staying at Leverkusen will also provide a big challenge for Alonso to be able to maintain Leverkusen performance next season, apart from the Bundesliga, of course at this time many parties are starting to be curious about Leverkusen ability later in the Champions League, so that if Alonso fails to make Leverkusen better next season, of course everyone will thinking that Leverkusen achievements this season are only limited to luck for a novice coach.

There are 36 teams competing in the 2024/2025 UCL but the thread is packed with only discussions about Real Madrid and what could be Mbappe's first UCL title. I know that Real Madrid are the kings of UCL for years now but it's worth noting that on those recent years they won the UCL, they came very close to losing it. The final against Liverpool, the comebacks against City, Chelsea and most recently, defeating City and Dortmund to win it the just concluded season.

My point is, there is still a very big chance that Madrid would not win the 2024/2025 UCL. It's a long shot even though Madrid has the dream team.
You should not go into conclusion when you know that football is not magic but by the strength of the club which includes that of the players and coach. Real Madrid is still seen as the favorite because they just won it, and they have Mbappe in their club now. When there was no Mbappe, they still won it, and I have not seen any club that will be able to challenge them next season.

If you say Real Madrid odds of winning UCL next season is small, tell me the club that you think is strong and capable enough to win Real Madrid next season of they clash in UCL. After all, this was what some person was saying when City won last two seasons.
If we look at the quality and also the quantity of teams that qualify for the Champions League next season, of course we don't see anything better than Madrid today, Madrid currently has a fairly qualified and even quality of players in every line of their squad, so there is no reason for us to say that they have no chance at all to win the Champions League again next season.  Maybe many people think that the difficult curse of consecutive Champions League titles still applies to the current Champions League champions, but I think after Madrid success so far, of course the curse does not apply to them  to win the Champions League next season.

There are indeed some strong teams that will probably surprise all of us next season, but when Madrid has reached the final of course 100% I am very confident that Madrid will be able to get the trophy from whoever the opponent is in the final, this season the Madrid squad contains many talented young players who are supported by the experience of Kross and Modric so indeed their squad is quite perfect,   But with the arrival of Mbappe next season, of course, it will make Madrid a club that may be unbeaten in La Liga and the Champions League later.

Conte will not let Osimhen go, he came to Nаpoli and his intentions are very serious. PSG, by the way, were interested not only in Osimhen, there was much more talk about Kvaratskhelia, but Conte is also determined to keep him in the team. Well, he is only 23 years old, a very young forward, I would probably try to find someone more experienced in Enrique’s place, although on the other hand he needs several good forwards, and so far their search has not had the proper success.
PSG is currently looking for a player who can indeed replace Mbappe position in attack, currently there is no definite news about who is indeed targeted by PSG to be their main striker next season, indeed so far we have heard that Osimhen is one of the players that is being targeted by PSG, but we do not see any active movements that are indeed made by PSG to reach the agreement with Napoli,  In fact, it is reported that currently the Saudi Arabian team and the English League are more inclined to be active to be able to recruit Osimhen next season, the arrival of conte in my opinion does not guarantee that Osimhen can get a place in the Napoli squad next season, especially now that it is reported that conte is currently making Lukaku their main striker target next season and making Osimhen a barter to get Lukaku from Chelsea.

Talking about Kvaratskhelia so far he has a 3-year contract left at Napoli, but I don't think if he will be retained by Napoli when a big offer comes from a team like PSG, Enrique of course has to work hard enough to be able to get the right player at the moment, but of course it depends on the support of PSG who is willing or not to spend a lot of money to get the player Enrique is currently targeting,I think PSG is currently in the right hands and they just need to give Enrique a little more time to be able to build his squad.

One of the problems you mentioned was really visible at PSG apart from the perhaps less than harmonious relationship between the star players who were already in the PSG squad at that time. However, everyone also sees other things, such as the age of the star players who are no longer the same as before when they were at PSG and also the easy competition in Ligue1 for PSG to win the League every season. So that the players' skills and enthusiasm do not develop when playing in the Champions League.
PSG management has been trying to make their squad very perfect so far, even they did not hesitate to bring in Messi, Neymar and Donnarumma who were indeed the best players in the world at that time, when all the star players had gathered in the PSG squad of course there was no doubt if they could not get the Champions League trophy at that time, but what was seen was beyond all of our expectations when PSG was getting closer to the trophy they were actually Experiencing a defeat in the final match against Munich, PSG performance  at that time was very good with Neymar and also Mbappe but unfortunately their mentality was still losing to Munich.

Currently I think the main problem of PSG is the cohesiveness of the team and also indeed the ligue 1 competition which has been classified as uncompetitive so far so that it does not test their mentality at all in playing in the champions league, although this season their squad is studded with stars but is not able to compete in the champion league of course we can compare it with Dortmund who only has a makeshift squad but is able to reach the final,  So we can conclude that in addition to needing a qualified squad, of course, PSG must also have a strong mentality to compete in the Champions League and this they will never get as long as Ligue 1 is not competitive.
