PSG having a 9 goal margin win isn’t one less of expectations but still we must credit the players and the coach. Kylian got a hat trick to add to his list of career hattricks and it’s really great to see the youngster always turning up, he has really helped this PSG side to be successful this season despite the threat from cubs like Nice and Monaco who made everyone think PSG would miss out on the league trophy this season.

It was truly an extraordinary result. Even though I also expect that they will definitely win the match, getting 9 goals is not an easy thing. This is an achievement that really deserves appreciation. And talking about their chances in the League I have already said that this season no one doubts that PSG will win the French league. NICE has performed well this season but they will not be able to catch PSG in the League because I think NICE is at risk of appearing inconsistent in the second half of the season,

There was nothing impressive about PSG big win and Mbappe hat-trick in this match because after all, the opponents PSG faced were also a team that didn't know what league to play in and also played in which league. Because ya, after all, there is no record about Revel playing in what division of the league and based on existing records too, that Revel only played in the Coupe de France and I think that is clearly a bad record.

Therefore, playing against PSG is definitely not a worthy opponent because after all, PSG clearly has better quality. Also, this big win has absolutely no impact on PSG performance in Ligue 1 because anyway, there was no impressive resistance made by Revel in this match. Clearly, this is a team that is very different in terms of quality for all the factors involved.

Leipzig can be one of the most consistent teams of the Bundesliga over the years. Because I don't remember the last time they couldn't make it to top four. I see them in the Champions League every year. They don't have the best squad in the league maybe but their squad consists of really skilled players at the same time.

They are really good at making the right transfers for themselves. Only signing Werner back resulted in badly for them as he isn't able to perform like in the old times. Other than that they are doing just fine and making quite much money from the players they are selling on one hand.  Smiley

Leipzig has consistently finished in the top four for the last 5 seasons and thus, it can be assumed that Leipzig is a successful team and also consistent of course. Because after all, Leipzig is basically not a team that is considered to be a strong competitor in the Bundesliga title race . But ya, thefact that Leipzig managed to consistently finish in the top four and play in the Champions League in every season, so it is clearly a great achievement too of course.

In fact, at this moment even though there are teams like Bayer Leverkusen and also Stuttgart who managed to surprise, but the fact is that one remaining place in the top four can still be filled by Leipzig and not Dortmund . Therefore, at least Leipzig maybe really has better quality than Dortmund.

Xavi seems like he cant find the last turn in the team, is like they still have the same failures as always and they are not a consistent team, not matter which team is in front, for example yesterday, you cant allow a weak team like Barbastro score two goals against you.

Seriously, this season Barcelona have underperformed compared to last season where Barcelona were very successful in La Liga. But yes, so far this season although Barcelona is still in the top four in the La Liga table but still, that there is a very good Girona this season which is a strong competitor with Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table.

Also, about the last match Barcelona in the Copa del Rey against Barbastro although Barcelona still played with a good squad that has better quality. But yes, the fact is that Barcelona still conceded in the match and Barcelona also only won narrowly with a score of 2-3 against Barbastro. Obviously, these results are not entirely good results for a team as big as Barcelona and ya, with these results it will certainly remain difficult for Barcelona to get the trophy this season.

the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has officially apologized to the fans.
I hope he understood the huge mistake he made, if he apologized. Meanwhile, Napoli also loses to Turin: the cups will become difficult to reach if they continue like this.



Of course, apologizing is not enough to cure the disappointment of their fans who saw their team from last season's they are the champions, and down at the moment. His request must be proven by the team's improvement in the transfer market. Even though they didn't win, Napoli at least has a target of being able to play in the UCL or UEL next season and must be achieved its target.

Napoli has fallen to 9th place in the Serie A standings right now and yes, obviously this is a very bad result for Napoli because it fell too far from the top four positions. Also, the 3-0 defeat by Torino in their last match is also clearly, a very bad defeat for Napoli at this moment. Therefore, of course, disappointment will definitely occur and be experienced because under the current new coach Napoli actually got worse results.

With results like this too, I personally only regret Napoli's decision to fire Garcia because anyway, with Garcia at least Napoli can still compete in the top zone or at least in the top five positions. But now, Napoli really fell because they appointed a coach who did not have good quality to compete in this era.

This season is a tough one, we can see already more than three teams competing closely for the title. Kelvin De Bruyne’s return is definitely a huge boost for Manchester City who haven’t been at their very best level since his injury. With or without KDB, Manchester City were going to win over Huddersfield anyway so bringing KDB on was just to increase the torture and dominance.

Kevin De Bruyne had not played a match for 5 months, if you are taking a long break after being injured, returning with such a simple match is a very good option. He was back on the field without tiring himself, and they took as little risk as possible.
I hope the effects of your injury end soon. There are already news about De Bruyne's transfer, maybe he can become a star in a team like Al Nassr if he doesn't get injured.  Smiley

But in reality, De Bruyne is still under contract with Manchester City until 2025 and thus, atleast there is still a chance for De Bruyne to continue playing at Manchester City next season too . But ya,considering De Bruyne age, which is 32years old, then it makes sense that De Bruyne will be sold in the future maybe to provide financial benefits for the club as well.

But I think, for a team as big as Manchester City it seem doesn't to be a big problem, if for example De Bruyne will play until his contract expires . Because ya,If that happens, then De Bruyne will also leave on a free transfer but ya, all options will be to back to Manchester City because after all,basically even though De Bruyne is old, but in reality De Bruyne can still play well too, of course.

PSG are only promising and competitive in Ligue One race and other domestic league but when it comes to UCL, it's top and tough, meant fro European clubs that have the full potentials to each their peak this season. PSG will not go anywhere this season. I don't count PSG as any elite club to become active in the UEFA Champions League competition because they don't have what it takes to become prime in the race or competitive enough to the taste of their supporters, even their opponents have slight chance of weighing losses on them.
This has been seen for a long time at PSG, where they can only be competitive in Ligue 1 and will not be strong enough in the Champions League, so until now PSG has not tasted the sweetness of the Champions League trophy. And this season won't be much different because PSG might only be able to get a trophy in Ligue 1 and won't get a trophy in the Champions League because there are many teams that are more favored in the Champions League this season, but for PSG it looks like it will be difficult to be superior.

That's the reality but yes, I just don't understand how an elite team like PSG still always fails in the Champions League. Because after all, PSG basically has good resources that can provide good results in the Champion League too. But yes, the reality is that PSG still always fails, even with the top players in PSG's main squad the reality is that PSG is only elite in the domestic league and not in the Champions League.

Considering such problems then yes, it is clearly a deep disappointment experienced by PSG. Moreover, the issue of Mbappe's departure is increasingly strong popping up in the media too, I can only imagine if PSG will be weak if for example Mbappe really leaves. Therefore, I think at this moment PSG is really still in a difficult situation, because PSG does not have a young squad for the better long term.

Kevin De Bruyne is already back from injury and is training with the first team of Manchester City. Kevin De Bruyne was named among the players who faced Sheffield United in their last match in the premier league. I believe Pep Guardiola will start him against Copenhagen in the Champions league to start finding his form back.

He was introduced into tue game they played today and few minutes into the game he was able to assist, his Belgium International teammate and Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku who are both back in action for Manchester City. The Premier League Competition are not ready for such terror and hazards coming their way from Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.

They've seen a decline though and that has lead most of us to think they'll not be available for the win the Premier League not to talk of the Champions League this season. We'll get to see about that.

Before the game against Copenhagen, he should be in a good form but i hope he avoids being Injured one more time. Manchester City better make cool cash from him before he get Injured once again.

Well, even though De Bruyne only came on as a substitute in the second half when Manchester City played in the FA Cup against Huddersfield but ya, in reality De Bruyne still managed to make an assist in that match. Thus, it seems that De Bruyne has not experienced a bad decline in performance after his long injury. Also, playing in the Champions League later, in reality there is still plenty of time for De Bruyne to recover his performance.

Moreover, the opponents that Manchester City will face in the Premier League before playing in the Champions League against Copenhgen later, at least Manchester City will not face tough and difficult opponents there. Therefore, of course De Bruyne will get good playing minutes beforehand playing in the Champions League later . Therefore, of course Manchester City's performance will still be good to compete in the Champions League in this knockout phase.

Incredible how much Sevilla is strugling in every single game, now for Copa del Rey against a LaLiga 2 team, Racing de Ferrol who is a good team in fact, but the thing here is Sevilla is working so much in every game, is like they dont flow, they need to change this fast to not become again with problems to relegation like the last season.

Even though Sevilla dominated the match very well, but Sevilla still conceded by Ferrol in this match and as such, Sevilla still had to work harder just to score the second goal in this match. Even though ya, Ferrol team is play in a LaLiga2 and with that, at least Sevilla should be able to win with a higher score with a clean sheet for example. So ya, with results like this, it will still be difficult for Sevilla to recover because in La Liga the reality is that Sevilla is still close to the relegation zone.

Therefore, this season Sevilla is only trying not to be relegated and Sevilla will of course still be able to achieve this target. Because anyway, Sevilla failure in Europe competitions should have resulted in Sevilla getting better results in domestic competitions in the second half of this season.

Lazio won 2-1 away from home to increase their points to 30.Lazio didn't play very well in the match, but they managed to score 2 goals in 2 shots and got an important win.They will want to finish in the top 4 of the league, but they have a tough period ahead of them.
Juventus are away to Salernitana.I expect Juventus to win.It's a must win game in the championship race and the opponent is not a very difficult opponent.I think Juventus will be champions this year.

At least, playing away against Udinese I think is not an easy match for Lazio. Although indeed, so far this season Udinese has a bad record but at least, Lazio is also not completely good and therefore, I still think it is not easy for Lazio to beat Udinese.

But yes, the final result in this match proves that their record so far this season is still working as it should. Because yes, Lazio who has a better record than Udinese so far this season, in fact Lazio managed to prove by getting three points in this match.

But about the match between Salernitana v Juventus, on paper it is clear that Juventus have a very good chance of winning. Because after all, Salernitana is also at the bottom of the standings so it is not surprising that Juventus is the favorite team to win in this match. But unfortunately, Juventus steps are still not easy because at half time Salernitana managed to win with a score of 1-0.

Indeed, there is still a second half but if Juventus continue like this then I think Juventus do not deserve to win and ya, even though Juventus are in the title race with Inter. But yes, the reality is that there is no definite guarantee for Juventus to get the scudetto, because Juventus is still difficult to have better consistency this season.

Quite some surprise results in the FA cup from the Premier League teams,they almost all of them have not won and we are at additional time now when the result are 1-1 for West Ham and 2-2 for Nottingham Forest.I know that most teams try their second formation when they are playing against lower division but that is unacceptable to not win against teams like Blackpool which is suffering a league down than Nottingham Forest.The same for West Ham,a team who won the Europa Conference League is not winning either against weaker teams playing in lower divisions.Luckily next week Premier League action will be back.

But in fact, the trophy-winning teams here in the FA Cup are also dominated by top Premier League teams such as Manchester City and Liverpool and several others. Therefore, I think even though West Ham and Nottingham failed to win in this match, I think it doesn't matter too much because anyway, in the end only the top teams will have a chance to get the trophy in this FA Cup.

But yes, the match has ended and at least West Ham and Nottingham will play a replay match later and thus, then of course West Ham and Nottingham will still have a chance to be able to win and qualify for the next round . But ya, apart from that it looks like there are currently more interesting matches because after all, currently there is a match between Arsenal v Liverpool, obviously this remains a big match.

It is a really important season for Mourinho for sure as he is in his last year of his contract with Roma. If there is no proper improvement then he will probably get sacked.

Therefore the Europa League is also extra important for Mourinho. Roma reached the finale in the previous season but got eliminated dramatically against Sevilla. Mourinho was really angry with the referee Anthony Taylor as well as you can remember. Mourinho must be seeing it as an incomplete job now so he would be ambitious for the title here. But to be able to reach the finale again they need to play much more extra than now.  Sad

More precisely, if Mourinho fails this season, it seems that Mourinho will not get a contract extension, but not about fired. Because after all, if AS Roma fires Mourinho then at least AS Roma can do it before his contract ends. So yes, because Mourinho is still under contract until the end of this season, it looks like AS Roma will give Mourinho time to serve as head coach of AS Roma until his contract ends, and maybe that is also a form of respecting their contract.

After all, at least Mourinho also succeeded in bringing AS Roma to win trophies during his coaching period. Even though AS Roma only got the Conference League trophy, at least the trophy was a good result compared to nothing at all.

However, regarding AS Roma's next match, it looks like it will be a difficult match because after all, AS Roma will play against Atalanta in Serie A and then AS Roma will play against Lazio in the Coppa Italia, and after that AS Roma will play again in Serie A against Milan. With a schedule like this, I personally am quite sure that AS Roma will probably lose, but yes, I hope AS Roma can still hold Milan to a draw in that match later.

Friendly matches are part of the matches that are difficult to predict. Just like you have said, it adds nothing to the team. Don't be surprise if the underdog win the match with their big odds. I do catch cruise with games like this sometime if I have some extra cash. I will just pick like 5 friendly matches in which I will place bet on the underdogs individually as a single bet. If just one of the game win then I still win big. Although this is risky but worth trying once in a while with little money that you can avoid to lose.
Losing and winning are the outcomes of every match played. We try our best to have an accurate prediction regarding these matches, they're friendly matches? I do stay away because I don't want to get shock by my prediction concerning this friendly matches. They're consider harder than the main fixtures, I know few matches that are friendly and I've taken the risk to bet on them, guess what, my prediction failed because a random average clubs defeated an almighty elite team, how is that even possible to begin with? Based on my past experience I no longer deal with these matches because they're consider no serious match.

Therefore, he or @odunybiz will try his luck by betting on non-seeded teams, so the odds he gets are likely to be greater. And he said, if one of his bets wins, then he will still make a profit even if the other match fails . At least,the way he stakes his money in this way is an interesting way too. Because ya, after all,friendly matches are matches where top teams only try to play second-tier players and or try different strategies, while for mediocre teams they will still play their main squad to test the team's performance.

But indeed, if you don't have extra money then you are also free to ignore friendly matches like this . Because ya, I am also not so interested in friendly matches like this but yes, if it's just to try my luck I think it's not a problem at all.

And I see that Arda Guler's performance is still quite far below many people's expectations.

Eventually Guller can play, although it seems that Ancelotti is very careful. It was reported that Ancelotti would feature against Mallorca but that was not done because Ancelotti was worried about Mallorca's aggressive style of play.
Looking at Guller's appearance, he was pretty good. Guller was able to organize attacks and provide several key passes. Although Arandina's quality is far below Real Madrid, Guller still needs to prove himself capable of competing to play in La Liga or UCL. Indeed, when viewed in terms of posture, he looks small, he just needs to continue to train and increase muscle time.

Getting at least 58 minutes of playing time in the Copa del Rey match against Arandina is at least a warm-up match for Arda Guler at this moment. because of course it would be very risky if Arda Guler played the full 90 minutes in a difficult match in La Liga. Therefore, it seems natural that Ancelotti only brought Arda Guler in the previous match in La Liga even though he only played Mallorca, at least Ancelotti also didn't want to take a big risk because Ancelotti didn't play Arda Guler in that match against Mallorca and Arda Guler was only on the bench.

At least, by getting playing minutes in matches that are not too difficult, Arda Guler will slowly be able to adjust or adapt again to playing in the Real Madrid squad. Of course, there is no problem with this method considering that Arda Guler is still very young and yes, of course there is still a lot of time that Arda Guler can use to get good chemistry and performance in the Real Madrid main squad.

Fiorentina lost 3 critical points in this match in which they competed to go to European tournaments. Sassuolo is a team that is very at odds with other teams. While they took the 3 points on their own field, the match witnessed many dramatic events. As a result, Fiorentina lost 3 points and maintained its fourth place.

That loss was bitter because this game was a big chance for Fiorentina to raise the distance to Bologna and Atalanta and if they are ambitious this season and aiming for the Europa League qualification, then they need to win these games. Now Atalanta can close the gap and Bologna is happy to see that they got even closer despite their draw.

AC Milan is playing a solid game against Empoli and what would add 3 important points to their account. They would finally have a good streak without defeat again.

Because Sassuolo managed to make a quick goal in the first half and ya, thus Sassuolo only played more defensively in the second half. But unfortunately, although in the second half Fiorentina had high dominance but still, Fiorentina failed to make a goal in this match and required the match to end only with a score of 1-0. But anyway, in fact in the 64th minute at least Fiorentina got a penalty kick but it was very unfortunate, Bonaventura who executed the penalty kick in fact still failed to score a goal in that way.

So yes, this result is quite disappointing of course because basically Fiorentina also still has a chance to get points even though only through a draw. But ya, even though in this match Fiorentina lost, but at least Fiorentina is also still in the top four at this moment, and in fact Fiorentina still has a good chance to be able to continue to compete in the top four.

Preston tried and held on till first half which ended goalless unfortunately fell in the second half as the team couldn't hold on as they conceded four goal in the second half Chelsea, no doubt is the better side having dominated the match with 70% possession and 12 shots on target against the championship side, remember FA Cup is usually synonymous with upset I believe Chelsea was a bit cautious not to concede against Preston they are frustrated in the first half, though you are worried about Chelsea sluggish style of play but I believe that would change with time because Pochettino hasn't gotten a real first eleven squad yet and once the team clicks they would be unstoppable.
In the first half, Chelsea were not very persistent and indeed this result was not surprising because in terms of quality Chelsea were much better and they deserved to win with a convincing score.
I think what happened in the first half is not a significant problem because what is needed is the final result and Chelsea won as predicted, there were no surprises in this match.

Preston who only plays in the Championship or under the Premier League, it is clear that Preston does not have good quality. What's more, at this moment Preston is also only in the middle in the Championship table and thus, it is certainly a natural result if in the match againts Chelsea the fact that Preston also did not manage to make a good resistance.

Because after all, the fact is that Chelsea dominated this match and also, even though at half time the result was a 0-0 draw but ya, that Chelsea still had very good statistics also at half time. Therefore, in the second half Chelsea can maximize the opportunities it gets and convert them into goals and ya, at least this victory can boost the team's morale to get good results also in the Premier League.

Ronaldo fans still want to hold up the argument on Ronaldo being the GOAT but I think it’ll be all over and crazy if our GOAT, Loses both the league and top scorer position. Which I don’t think he’ll lose both because it’ll be scary for us and a nightmare for us he fans. After about 19 matches, Ronaldo’s team’s still sitting far second on the log but what’s sweet is that him and his teammates are really fighting and supporting each other.
~

I doubt that team results (by the way, the number of goals scored also largely depends on the team) can be transferred to a discussion about individual qualities. This is the first thing. Secondly, no matter how Ronaldo performs in the Saudi League, fans will argue about who is the GOAT based clearly not on his achievements here. All the most important things are already in the past - the Champions League. Of course, there are still games of national teams where Ronaldo is going to continue, but this will be, so to speak, “additional material” for discussion.

Anyway, if we consider the Saudi Pro League seems to have become a different level from the tough competition in the big leagues in Europe. So yes, if for example Ronaldo is still very productive in making goals in the Saudi Pro League, then I think it is still natural to happen because ya, at least the competition in the Saudi Pro League is not as difficult as the big league competition in Europe. Although indeed, currently in the Saudi Pro League also has many star players in certain teams but yes, it still does not have the high intensity of the big European leagues.

Therefore, I don't care whether Ronaldo a goat or not because anyway, the assumption still passes for fans and does not apply to those who are not fans and also have a neutral attitude. So yes, let or no problem if fans still consider Ronaldo as a goat because after all, Ronaldo basically also has extraordinary achievements and also has a big influence in the world of soccer.

Girona is still the best in the LA Liga thus far with their level of control, confidence and coordination. At this point, I must give all hails to their ever-present and forward manager Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz. And all the players who have remained very active and steadfast to the effort of taking Girona to the top of the LA Liga titles. The commitment have been a vehemently interesting one.
They are a combination of experienced young and old players. Many old players from big clubs are thrown away. Munoz made a great combination and succeeded in generating fighting spirit. Girona players don't have many star players, but the mentality of fighting, fighting, coordination between players is really good. I don't believe they are champions yet, but right now they have a big chance.

But unfortunately, because Girona is currently part of the City Football Group and based on the rules and rumors circulating, if Girona manages to finish in the top four then it is possible that Manchester City and Girona will not be allowed to play in the Champions League next season . But ya, I also don't know for sure how this problem will proceed, but if it is true, then it will certainly be a very unfortunate result for Girona, who have succeeded in being in the top four and are strong contenders in the race for the La Liga title this season with Real Madrid.

Because after all, I will remain confident that Girona will remain strong in the top four until the end of this season. Because ya, considering that at least Barcelona and Atletico are also experiencing trends that are not entirely good this season. Therefore, Girona will be able to maintain its position in the top four, of course it will also be a threat to Real Madrid this season in the race for the title.

I liked the Verona game too... They can create problems for the big clubs... Probably for them this game was even more important than for Inter, but this season Inter probably have no rivals except Juventus... Although Verona need to climb further away from the relegation zone too...
There is nothing special about Verona especially this season. It is Inter Milan that fell below my expectations.  If I was dreaming and they tell me that Inter will put up this outing today, I will say its a lie because Inter could have done better.
In my opinion, the narrow win is a good as a loss because it was not the kind of win worth celebrating.  The match was a pure draw if not that Davide Frattesi scored in the 93rd minutes whereas Thomas Henry missed his penalty at the 10th minute into the extra time after 90 minutes. Inter was just lucky to get the three points.

Well, basically Verona in few previous seasons also quite often gave surprising results when Verona played against the top teams in the Serie A standings. But unfortunately, this season Verona is experiencing a bad trend so that Verona is in the relegation zone at this moment. But yes, even though Verona is in the relegation zone, it doesn't necessarily make Verona weak and easy to beat, because in reality Verona still managed to provide tough resistance to Inter, who at this moment are at the top of the Serie A standings.

So yes, it looks like Inter is still lucky in this match too if we consider the statistics and incidents that occurred in this match because yes, at least we also realize that this match should have ended in a draw. But fortunately, a goal was still scored in the +90 minute and also the Verona players failed to take a penalty kick.

Newcastle United beat Sunderland in the FA Cup and advanced to the next round. Maybe this good result can be reflected in the league. They have lost their last 3 games in the league. One of these games was against Luton. They are going through a really bad period. Last year they finished among the top 4 teams in the league and raised everyone's hopes but this year they have not been able to show the same performance. In the coming weeks they will play Manchester City and then Aston Villa. They can continue to get bad results in this period.
The next two matches are a tough test for Newcastle. They have to face City and then Aston Villa. These two teams are very difficult for Newcastle to beat. I don't expect Newcastle to win. But I'm going to watch the game because I want to see how Newcastle have been doing lately. This year they performed very badly. They have lost 9 times from 20 matches. Look at last season where Necastle only lost 5 times from 38 matches in the league. What happened to Newcastle this season?

I think, Newcastle mistake is not having good squad depth and because of that, it is difficult for Newcastle to maintain consistent performance. Because after all, if Newcastle does not have good squad depth, it will certainly make it difficult for Newcastle to make the right rotation. Moreover, if any of their key players are injured so obviously, Newcaslte still needs players who have good quality as well as for second-tier players.

Regarding the next two matches against Manchester City and against Aston Villa obviously, there is no good chance for Newcastle to get points in these matches. But  ya, maybe, for the match against Aston Villa there still seems to be a chance for Newcastle even if only to get a draw result. But still, in this bad situation and conditions, it is clear that it will still be difficult for Newcastle to play well in the next two matches in the Premier League.

Exactly, Manchester City is not an appropriate opponent for Copenhagen especially now that Manchester City will played with a full squad because Kevin de Bruyne has recovered from injury so we will see a different game from Manchester City or we can call it Real Manchester City and I will say it's an easy win for Manchester City. This match will be played in February and there are still many moments to be passed but if Manchester City plays with the main squad then it doesn't have a way for Copenhagen to get points/win.
Kevin de Bruyne’s impact in Manchester City cannot be overstated. He is the playmaker in the team and ensures Haaland gets the goals. Manchester City has a great squad on the pitch and on the bench. They are not a side that can be affected greatly by injuries. Despite the absence of KDB and Haaland, Manchester City have a good chance of finishing the game as winners. Manchester City may experience some difficulties winning games in the EPL without KDB but surely not against Copenhagen.

Obviously, Bruyne has a big influence on the team's performance because obviously, it has been proven that without Bruyne in the first half of the season, Manchester City must work extra to get good results in every match. After all, the benchmark in the Champions League is not only about playing against Copenhagen, because of course, Manchester City must also have excellent preparation for the next phase in the Champions League and also in the Premier League.

Therefore, recovering Bruyne and Haaland is very important for Manchester City. After all, no matter how great Manchester City is but if their key players are injured, it will obviously greatly affect the team's performance. At least, you can also compare it with Real Madrid as the king of Europe when they get some of their key players injured, then the team's performance also decreases.

So ya, you cannot just consider that Manchester City is a big team and does not need Bruyne and Haaland because after all, these two players are the key to Manchester City's success too.
