Yes, of course, one of them is Real Madrid, which is the most favorite candidate to win the UCL trophy this season. Because after all, their performance conditions are quite good and consistent in the UCL. Moreover, if Real Madrid can really bring in the top players in the world of football in this transfer market. this will provide more benefits for them. At first I thought Man City would be the favorite too. However, seeing their current condition is quite worrying

He has his own privileges and indeed it seems that the higher-ups still really like Ten Hag which we know is very absurd even though as a football connoisseur (not as a United fan) we can see that what he has done this season has shown failure but there is still a lot of defence from the higher-ups which makes it a little complicated to stress that he must go.

For the Champions League at the moment we have found 16 clubs that qualify for the next phase but looking at the standings that occurred in the group phase, there are several clubs that I think this will be interesting in the drawing later because for position 2 currently there are names PSG, Inter, Napoli and Leipzig which I think this could be interesting for the knock out phase later because we will be presented with several big matches from the start.

Just because something has a chance of happening, does not mean it is going to happen. Just because there is a chance for Pep to sign a contract with Girona, and just because it is higher than zero, does not mean that he is actually going to do it. It again comes to the same thing like, just because it is possible doesn't mean it is probable.  And at the same time, just because Girona is performing well so far in this season, does not mean that they are actually going to do it consistently, especially throughout the whole season. Let alone in the next season.

I agree that luck often plays an important role in football. Even though the draw ended AC Milan's chances in the Champions League (UCL), there is still hope in the UEL. Competing in Europe's second tier remains an extraordinary achievement, and AC Milan has the opportunity to shine there.

and of course facing Liverpool in the UEL could be a big challenge. Liverpool is a very strong and experienced team at European level, and the meeting in the pre-final round will be a serious test for AC Milan.

Hopefully AC Milan meets Liverpool in the final so that we can remember Milan's golden era when they met Liverpool in 2 Champions League finals in 2004 and 2007 even though in 2004 Milan failed to win.

Arsenal vs Brighton sounds tough and interesting, everyone will predict in favour of Arsenal cause what do you expect a home match, definitely they will attack Saka just like what Chelsea players did last time with Rice, Arsenal have every chance of wining this match and I'm sure they'll defeat Brighton.

Liverpool vs United, I know united fans has never loss hope in their players and they might deliver perfectly, have never supported Liverpool and I don't want them to be the tittle contender but the fact is they're really playing good this season every team they meet they'll always pressure, I can't predict for now.

Just as I was about to rant about Guardiola playing roulette with my money on the line again, due to the the starting eleven he chose to start the game with, Hamilton just gave Manchester City a deserved lead with a stunning goal, he was super composed and the execution of goal couldn't have been done any better, I only just hope this goal will be enough to put Man City in the driver's seat for them to dictate the game the rest of the way.

That is the reason why there is a whole "smaller teams wins once" type of culture, and not even that happens all that much, Valencia in 2003-2004 is the last winner outside of top three, that should tell you how rare it is for anyone else to win. I am not saying Girona will not win, but even if they do, we all know it will be just one year for them. Same with Premier league, there are some good teams, stuff like Leicester city rarely happens and when it does, we see how it ended up for them in the end.

We need to realize that Girona has just one year that they can win, either they win it this season if they are lucky or if not then they are not going to be good at all and they will never have this chance again in the future.

In my opinion, Barcelona is making a big mistake in signing the Portuguese duo.
Atlético de Madrid asked for 80 million euros for João Félix, an absurd amount, even though I consider that Feliz is a player worth every penny.... however the value is still very high for Barcelona, which does not go through a good financial moment and could offer a maximum of around 20 million euros for the striker.
On the other hand, Manchester City does not intend to keep Cancelo, he was previously on loan to Bayern Munich and is now asking for around 20 million euros, a much more affordable amount for the Spanish, so I believe he is "Ok" for their needs and conditions at Barcelona.

We must remember, however, that Barcelona has been in a much worse financial situation in the past and only managed to get back on its feet with the arrival of Xavi and his desires to hire him, so I believe that the coach deserves a little more credibility. But you can't go wrong with these hires.

Before the group matches started, many people said that United would be second, but we see that this is the UCL. There is a possibility that even Manchester United could come last here. With the European competition over, the only target for Manchester United should now be the Premier League. They played badly in all 6 matches. They fell well below expectations.

I think injury to Nick Pope has made them look after a very strong goalkeeper. Nick Pope have been exceptional for the Magpies and injury of Pope has made a huge dent in their squad. I think someone like Karius can be considered as a temporary change or in case of short term injury but I don't think it's a great choice for long run. Buying another goalkeeper will also be a waste as when Pope will return it will be hard to deal with excess goalkeepers then. I think best option is to see if there are some good goalkeeper in other team sitting on the bench and sign them for a short term or on loan.

I think PSG this season's championship title is already theirs, because looking at the depth of the squad that PSG's competitors have, there is a huge difference in quality. Hoping that Nice will compete to win Ligue 1 is of course not an easy matter with the squad they have, Nice being able to consistently be in second place is already an extraordinary achievement for them.

I'm not underestimating other teams besides PSG, but the reality is it will be like that because as you said who can stop PSG at this time? Indeed, if they record once or twice they will definitely lose points, but what about other teams, they will definitely lose a lot of points because the match is still long, there are still 23 matches left.

that's how it should be. As a coach who has led the team for a full season, Ten Hag should build strong relationships with his players. Such experience will give him an edge in understanding team dynamics and designing tactical approaches accordingly. and with the addition of new players this season who can strengthen the squad and meet the team's needs, Ten Hag should now be at a stage where coaching and developing certain aspects of the team's game and relationships is key to its success.
However, what happened to his discipline during training and bringing in the players he wanted, MU's performance never improved, I'm sure your problem lies with Ten Hag himself.

Aston villa are really pushing hard for the title composition which I see that in them, I have much confidence in them because they have defeated all the strongest teams we have right now. If Aston villa can continue I believe they will land themselves in champions league zone. I don't expect Chelsea and Manchester United in the europa zone because of their performance, but Tottenham Hotspur is capable of making it, they are just left behind because of injury challenges and I believe if the squad is fully back they can make a difference.

In the previous match, Nice lost against Nantes, but this result did not make them fall into decline and they managed to recover in yesterday's match against Reims by winning 2-1. This is a very important home win when they have the opportunity to compete to win the title this season with PSG. With the additional three points, Nice continues to close behind PSG in the standings with a distance of 4 points.

Maybe Nice should practice by improving their attacks because we know this team is not very good at winning matches by always relying on a thin lead and that's not good when their opponents can put pressure on them and leave them in a deadlock.

We are about to reach the half of the season and Girona are in the lead in the standings now. That win over Barcelona was magnificent. I didn't give them a high chance to win honestly but that 4-2 win was a solid answer to me. Girona are currently the most productive team in the league as well with 38 goals. They are really trying their best to be a part of this title competition.

Their being able to maintain their presence in this competition makes me thrilled. However I'm curious about whether they will be able to keep the same level in the second half of the season as well. If they do so I can't imagine how amazing it would be for them to even win the league title.  

De gea must become the best options for all of them but in fact that if everything totally depends on the various things. I meant that if de gea has no good history at the end of his career since manchester united was kicking him out. I see no points to use him as a new goal keeper for the newcastle. Unless the club will be trying to take a part on it. It's a risky decision from newcastle and i think that will better if newcastle is trying to get another goal keeper but de gea has a very good experience as a good keeper on MU for so many years. His experience was more than enough to make him play in the newcastle.

In my own opinion, I think it was after the English football authorities stripped Everton of ten points for violating the financial fair play  that they started performing to their full strength as a club. Many were expecting them to struggle to remain in the English Premier League after those points deduction or probably be relegated at the end of the season but from in less than five matches after that incident, Everton are out of the relegation zone and are looking comfortable in their current position in the English Premier League. They defeated Chelsea today in a match many had predicted that Chelsea were gonna win and if they continue with their current form, Everton is likely to finish the season in the top half of the league table despite the going through the pains of points deduction.

Munich lost their last encounter with Frankfurt, so it's definitely going to have an impact in their UCL faceoffs tomorrow against United, either positively or negatively. The both teams lost but Munich lost away from home and United lost at home. Of the both teams, Munich is the better side and their winning chances are high too. United have not been consistent and this season they've not actually been in their average form. Tomorrow's game is important and it still doesn't rest on just their shoulders. The outcome of the entire Group A games would determine the fate of every of the teams in the group.

 Munich will be the visitors tomorrow and at this time, United have the advantage but will the outcome of their last EPL home game affect their mental preparedness and confidence in the game? Even if Munich are a better side, it's only left for United to capitalize on being the host to make the difference, and then pray that Galatasaray and Copenhagen result ends in their favor too. But still, for me I'd only advise Ten Hag to do his best and leave the rest, his chase should be majored on the domestic league cups and securing a ticket to next season's European contests too. But we definitely hope to see that they advance through to the next stage of the contest.

Erik ten Hag made many mistakes in Manchester United and Sancho was one example also this coach doesn't want to accept the mistakes he had in this team and that's not good but don't forget that Erik ten Hag was the coach who joined Manchester United while they were in the trouble situation and Ten Hag was the person who helped them to get improved in the last season and take the Champions League ticket for this season otherwise Manchester United could have even worst situation.
