Does that mean a club like Arsenal is not suited to winning big? Every club that participates in the Champions League has the same ambition, they will do their best and those who can be consistent until the end deserve to win. Arsenal has no doubt they have reached their best level in the last few seasons and will continue like that if Mikel Arteta is still at this club, I think they will definitely get one of our prestigious trophies, it's just a matter of time.
Arsenal opportunity to win the Champions League trophy is very open, where in general a team success is determined by how well it prepares. especially Arsenal, Arteta fleet now looks very ready to compete for trophies, even though the competition will never be easy. Arsenal ambitions can be seen from the player transfer policy, Arteta has received adequate budget support to build squad depth, previously Arsenal was known to be very frugal in spending. Next season, even though the competition will not be easy, I think Arsenal presence will be taken into account. It's true, maybe it's just a matter of time, what is clear is that they have to try to be one step ahead from last season.

I know that a lot will be expected from Eric Ten Hag after his contract was extended and renewed for some years again. He should be up and running from the start of the next season because if he doesn’t begin to show his potential and zeal to make the team great, he’ll find it hard when the league games have already gone far. He has a task to accomplish for the team as soon as possible and he needs all the best players he can assemble to make that happen. I haven’t seen any major signing into the club and I believe he knows what he is doing and what he has on ground to make things happen for himself. Maybe the current squad are okay for him to do what is expected of him from next season and he will try everything best to make that happen this coming season. I don’t really see any reason to doubt Eric Ten Hag, he’s just the best manager that Manchester United has now and should be respected and giving all the support he needs. Ten Hag received a short term contract extension of 1 season which will keep him until June 2026 at Old Trafford. There is no guarantee that Ten Hag will be retained for the next two seasons, unless the Dutch coach succeeds in creating a turning point in performance next season. Ten Hag must succeed in helping United finish in the top four of the standings to get a ticket to appear in the Champions League. Winning the Europa League trophy is another alternative route to get there, if Ten Hag fails to do so, Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be happy to fire him. The Red Devils have so far only managed to recruit Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, and Ten Hag is reportedly still planning to recruit several more players, especially in defense.

The gunners should focus on winning EPL first and if they have achieved that, they can think about winning UCL which I don't see that happening soon only if they can change their mentality and improve their performance up to the standard of strong clubs that are winning UCL.
I don't know why it has being like that, is it that they always lose focus on the matches or they are not just lucky in the league. A lot must be done if Arsenal wants to win UCL. Arteta is a good coach and I hope that he doesn't make any mistake next season and win their domestic league. As long as Real Madrid exists, it will be difficult for weak teams like Arsenal to win UCL.
Arteta definitely has the ambition to bring Arsenal to appear consistent in every competition, of course Arsenal has the opportunity to do so, or they can properly organize their priority scale next season according to the team condition. It is possible that Arsenal can create a different performance between the Premier League and the Champions League, like Dortmund last season, but it would be better for Arsenal to focus on pursuing the Premier League title first. Competition in the Champions League is much more difficult, and Arsenal will definitely have the opportunity to reach the Champions League final like in the 2006 season. Arsenal has now developed for the better, especially in the last two seasons, they have almost been able to win the Premier League trophy. Meanwhile, in the Champions League last season, when Arsenal faced Bayern, Arteta fleet still looked very unstable, they failed to show their best performance when facing the Bundesliga giants. In the future, if Arsenal succeed in winning the Premier League trophy, their journey in the Champions League will be even more taken into account.

I saw it too, the final match was very dramatic and made us think that maybe Argentina will lose, seeing Messi sad about the possibility of losing indicates that he is very worried about his country, fortunately indeed Lautaro Martinez got his goal to be able to win the Copa America, watching this match made many people bet that it was impossible that Argentina would lose, Di Maria got it and it was the most beautiful goodbye for him.
For the match in the world cup it is still not possible to determine because it seems that many teams are experiencing a very good increase in strength, as well as Spain who won the Euro, it will be a big threat to Argentina, Lionel Messi may need to work hard once again to be able to get his last trophy before he retires, where Messi also does not have the performance when he was young who was very aggressive and very feared by many opponents because of his ability, now he can't move much because his ability has decreased, it will be lucky for him if he manages to get the world cup at the end of his career..
The Copa America final match between Argentina and Colombia was very fierce, fortunately Argentina managed to emerge as champions in the end. I think Argentia success is in line with the predictions of many bettors, where Argentina was very much favored as champion before the competition started. Argentina is very lucky to have a number of players who can make a difference, Lautaro Martinez became the hero of Argentina victory thanks to his goal in the 112th minute, in the end Argentina managed to retain the trophy. Colombia actually played quite well, they managed to put up a tough fight, and I think they were just unlucky. On the other hand, regarding Messi future with the Argentine national team in the future, currently it is still very difficult to predict, and Messi himself has not decided anything regarding his future. Now they will celebrate their victory, and may reconsider the possibility of strengthening Argentina in the 2026 World Cup. He is no longer young, but Argentina really needs his contribution, there is no player who has complete attributes like Messi. Apart from that, Di Maria job is finished, he ended his career beautifully as Copa America champion.

At SPL level, I think Laurent Blanc will still be a very reliable coach. In fact, I also feel that Al-ittihad was lucky because they succeeded in bringing in Laurent Blanc. What I hope is that this time the coach can get along better with Benzema. Because we know that the two previous coaches always seemed to not get along with Benzema. Which resulted in the two coaches finally being fired from al-ittihad. At least a coach who has handled PSG would know better how to treat a star player like Benzema. And I expect good results for this team next season.
Laurent Blanc has worked with Benzema in the French national team, reportedly his appointment as manager of Al Ittihad was a recommendation from Benzema. Laurent Blanc success with PSG proves that the coach has the ability to boost Al Ittihad performance which slumped last season. Previously, Al Ittihad had almost agreed to recruit Pioli, but a change in the position of the club's top officials meant that the agreement did not take place, and Laurent Blanc has now officially been appointed as the new manager. Last season Al Ittihad failed to defend the trophy, and they were only able to finish in 5th place by collecting 54 points. Their performance last season was very poor, and Benzema failed to adapt smoothly in his first season. I think the competition for next season will increase, where Al Hilal and Al Nassr will be the two favorite teams to win, Al Ittihad must try to fix the chaos within the team, if they want to be involved in the competition. We'll see if Laurent Blanc is able to manage Al Ittihad well, his success with PSG is expected to be repeated with Al Ittihad next season.

Source: https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1812474399359897909Thanks to his performance at the Euros, Dani Olmo seems to be shining and this has sparked interest from big teams like Manchester City to recruit him. It's not surprising that in the end there are teams that are starting to look at him and in Leipzig his performance has actually been tested. I think Manchester City will get new additions commensurate with what they will target next season. His contract with Leipzig will still run until 2027 and perhaps if Manchester City is willing to pay him it will be in the range of 50 million euros according to his market value. But it is possible that the offer Leipzig wants will be a little bigger because they know Manchester City is a rich club. City seems to be preparing a replacement for De Bruyne, where Dani Olmo is considered the right successor for the future. Dani Olmo performance at the Euros and with Leipzig has attracted the attention of many European clubs. United and Barcelona are reportedly also interested in signing him, I think the competition to get his signature will be very tight, especially after successfully bringing Spain to win Euro 2024. City is certainly the right destination to continue his career, Dani Olmo has the opportunity to win any trophy if he joins the fleet Pep Guardiola. For Dani Olmo market price which ranges between 50-60 million, City will certainly have no difficulty meeting this demand, because financially they are considered very stable. De Bruyne performance is actually still very good, but his injury last season made it a little difficult for City to appear consistent. The Euros are over, and Dani Olmo can focus on deciding his future, I think City will get his signature.

It is believed that the competition for the Bundesliga trophy next season will be even more competitive, with many clubs trying to increase the depth of their respective squads by taking advantage of this summer transfer window. Bayern is currently getting the most attention, whether they will be able to dominate the Bundesliga again next season. Meanwhile, Leverkusen is considered to still have the same strength as last season, where Xabi fleet is predicted to be the toughest challenge for Bayern efforts to win the trophy.
On the other hand, we have never seen Leverkusen defend a trophy, where last season was their first trophy in the club history, I think that will be the main attraction. The competition for the trophy next season is not only limited to Leverkusen and Bayern, we cannot ignore the potential and strength of other Bundesliga contestants. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Xabi will try to prove that his tactical quality is not just a season of luck, and Kompany will also try to prove that he is worthy of coaching a club as big as Bayern.

Of course, Ancelotti will not waste Mbappe's presence, of course they will work well together to defend his title and bring Mbappe to win the Champions League, and of course there will be a new trio in Madrid because we know they have long lost their fierce forward figure and now Mbappe's presence will really help them to form something new and sharper than before, and there is no doubt that coach Ancelotti already has a wealth of experience to help his players become bigger because Ancelotti has succeeded in attacking Vinicius and also several other players and Now it's Mbappe's turn and Ancelotti will definitely do it.
And it would also be very good if Mbappe was placed as the spearhead and of course Vinicius and Bellingham would be very helpful in scoring goals because we know that Real Madrid's young players are very experienced and of course Mbappe's presence will complement them on the front lines.
Ancelotti is the luckiest manager in the world, because he has the ideal squad to win trophies in every competition they participate in. Mbappe presence in the front line makes Madrid increasingly feared by any team, and Ancelotti will most likely experiment to find the right formation for Mbappe. If you look at Mbappe individual abilities, Ancelotti actually won't be too bothered about determining Mbappe's position in his starting XI. Ancelotti could also choose to field three strikers with Vinicius, Mbappe, Rodrygo, and place Bellingham behind them. The departure of Kroos, who decided to retire, and Nacho, who left for Saudi, were other challenges that Ancelotti had to overcome. There is no doubt about Madrid front line, especially after Mabppe arrival, but the roles left by the two veteran players must be handled well to create balance in the team. Meanwhile, Ancelotti certainly has no shortage of options in his midfield and back line, he can even conjure up Tchouameni to do the job.

After winning the title in the 2022-23 season, naturally our expectations of the Napoli team were high. But in the 2023-24 season, the Napoli team moved to tenth place in the table. None of us expected such a poor performance. This is why the Napoli management has hired an experienced coach like Conte. It is expected that Napoli will try their best to perform well in the coming season.
A number of clubs were interested in adding Osimhen to the squad. But Napoli management wants 130 million euros for Osimhen. At the moment, no club is interested in buying OSimhen for such a high amount of money. But if the Napoli management does not sell Osimhen now, they will face losses in the future.
With the appointment of Conte as the new manager, it is hoped that Napoli performance next season will be better and more consistent. Napoli is absent from playing in European competitions, just like Juventus last season, it should be easier for Napoli to recover because they only focus on domestic competitions. Conte is not busy with the busy schedule of matches in European competitions, which is an opportunity that should be utilized well to compete in Serie A. Indeed, becoming a team challenging for the Scudetto will certainly not be easy, because Conte will need time to adapt in the season. his first. Conte can at least lead Napoli to compete in the top four of the standings, and end the season there, and secure a ticket to the Champions League. Napoli needs great luck if they have the ambition to win the Scudetto next season, because the presence of Inter, Juventus and Milan will make it difficult for any team to lead the top of the standings. Expectations for Napoli have indeed improved after Conte's arrival, but Napoli efforts to recover do not only depend on Conte alone, but on the depth of the squad they have built. Rumors of Osimhen transfer are still hotly discussed, and so far Napoli have not succeeded in selling him.

Lastly, in my own point of view, right now the only team that I believe can challenge this Manchester city of this season title is arsenal, because if you take a look at the rest of the top teams, they aren't strong enough to maintain the high level of consistency to challenge the citizens, except arsenal, but I still feels like Manchester city will win it again come if care is not taken.
After experiencing failure in the hunt for the trophy Arsenal have certainly learned a lot and they will definitely improve their abilities in the new season as well as improve their mentality as champions, so far they are not very strong mentally as champions therefore they still often make unnecessary mistakes which In the end it was detrimental to them and caused them to be eliminated again by Manchester City in the hunt for the EPL trophy last season and become runners up. I think Arsenal has the opportunity to repay that in the new season. Arteta must be able to convince his team to be confident and focus consistently in the title race in the new EPL season, don't have too high hopes of winning and qualifying for the important rounds in the UCL, Arsenal must be able to be more focused and consistent at the start of the season until the end of the season to maintain the points so that they can win the EPL trophy in the new season, although maybe Manchester City can still dominate but Arsenal knows how to overcome it and they have definitely learned a lot from every failure they had in the previous season. Arsenal should learn from last season failures, where it will be very disappointing if next season Arsenal again fail to compete for trophies. Arteta has tried to do his job well, encouraging his players to have a winning mentality, and motivating them to remain resistant to pressure. Arteta must remain optimistic when looking at next season, even though everyone believes that the competition will become more competitive, Arsenal have the opportunity to end their title drought. Arsenal squad is said to be very capable, Arteta managed to convince club officials to spend a large budget to recruit quality players. Once again, Arteta needs to convince club officials to provide him with a budget so he can recruit a sharp striker like Osimhen. Apart from all that, Arsenal looks very ready to compete with any team, it's just a matter of how they try to win trophies next season. City remains the toughest challenge for any contestant, Pep Guardiola fleet is also determined to make the Premier League their own every season.

In terms of the flow of the match, it was also seen that Spain had the ball flowing better with either long or short passes. I see that most of Spain's opportunities are created by building attacks from the middle or behind very beautifully. In contrast to England, which had difficulty penetrating the Spanish defense and ultimately relied on long balls and sprints from the wings. England's goal also came from a shot from outside the penalty box. And another golden opportunity was also created from a dead ball situation. Luckily Olmo was there at the right time and in the right position so Spain managed to keep the score 2-1 until the end of the match. Congratulations to Spain! They really deserve to be champions. And it's a shame that Harry Kane has failed to win a trophy again. As far as I remember, this was Kane's sixth final in the last eight years at various levels of competition and he failed to win a single trophy.
England seemed to lose their identity when facing Spain, statistically Spain was a landslide superior and that is why they deserved to be on the podium. Possession of the ball, number of shots, corner kicks, number of attacks were all in favor of Spain, Southgate admitted that his team made many mistakes. Spain seems to be playing very aggressively, where their strategy succeeded in defeating England who have a star studded squad, Southgate future seems to be being evaluated. Meanwhile, Kane is still unlucky, and once again his career is still shrouded in failure. Not only at national team level, but also at club level. For some people Kane is a cursed player, but I consider him unlucky. Hopefully in the future Kane can taste the sweetness of a trophy, like other star players. England must improve in the future, they must play more solidly. Once again, congratulations to Spain, and Southgate also deserves appreciation for his performance so far.

What you say seems reasonable enough to not be surprised when everyone sees a player like Sancho at Manchester United as a main player again. Because what Sancho showed last season at Dortmund in every important match was enough to provide proof that he is the best player and he even got to experience what it was like to play in the UCL final last season even though he was ultimately defeated by Real Madrid. However, what is being taken into consideration is not that, but rather the fact that Sancho still has good enough abilities in any squad so that he is still worthy enough to be the main player in the team rather than a reserve player. Although Sancho returned to Manchester United, but there is no guarantee that Sancho will have the same good performance as Sancho playing in Dortmund. Because after all, previously Sancho also played well in Dortmund and then Manchester United bought Sancho but what happened was, Sancho's performance was not as expected so Manchester United loaned Sancho to Dortmund again. In such a way, I personally remain convinced that there is no guarantee for Sancho to be able to provide good results at Manchester United. What's more, there are also rumors about Juventus interest in buying Sancho and not only that, because there are also rumors that Juventus are ready to exchange Chiesa to bring Sancho from Manchester United to Juventus. With rumors like this, it seems like any decision could happen, because Juventus will also play in the Champions League next season, and Manchester United only play in the Europa League next season. It looks like United management will try to retain Sancho for next season, where his performance with Dortmund last season was the reason why United did so. It is reported that Ten Hag and Sancho have reconciled, and the two of them have spoken privately, although we have not seen Sancho public apology. I think keeping Sancho was the right decision, despite the conflict last season, Ten Hag should give Sancho another chance, with Dortmund Sancho performed well. Last season, Ten Hag lacked rotation options on the front line, apart from their porous defense line, Sancho should not be bartered with other players. United should take a wiser attitude, by looking back at Sancho abilities, even though his attitude is sometimes intolerable. There have been many players in the past who behaved worse than Sancho, but Ferguson managed them with a good personal approach. Ten Hag should learn from Ferguson experience, how to treat his players so that they feel comfortable in the team.

Spain won the cup again. They won their 4th European cup tonight. This cup is truly well deserved. They played their best game in all the matches.
The second goal was very good for Spain. Dani Olmo took the ball off the line at the last minute, it was the most critical position of the match.
Spain played an impressive game throughout the match statistically far superior to England, they are now EURO2024 champions and this is a special gift for Yamal on its birthday, yeah we suspected from the beginning since Spain beat Germany and France without penalties that they could become champions... Now it's true.... After Cole Palmer scored I thought England had better motivation to step up their game, but what I saw was backed into a corner from Spain's onslaught, so congratulations to Spain for winning this season's EURO. Throughout the match Spain seemed to dominate, statistically they were superior in all aspects, England played like a mediocre team, even though they had a number of star players in the squad. Yamal managed to steal the attention, his contribution to the team led to him being selected as the best young player at this Euro. From the start of the campaign, England performance did not look very promising, Southgate even received a lot of criticism, perhaps it was true that he was not the right manager to manage England. Congratulations to Spain on their success in winning the Euro 2024 trophy, their journey was truly impressive, they performed beyond many people expectations. The strategy implemented by Luis de la Fuente proved to be more effective, where Spain on many occasions played very aggressively and dominated possession of the ball. England failed again in the final, they must learn from experience, and in the future they should appoint a more qualified manager.

I think that was what affected him mentally which made him not to be on his best performance last season. Osimhen does not want to be with them again and they don't want to let him go indirectly, which made them to put a hug price tag on him. If aOsimhen is still in Napoli, I don't think that he will be comfortable there anymore.
The Euros and Copa America is coming to an end toady and tomorrow, let see what is the fate of Osimhen as he might be needed by a new club because all clubs are reshuffling their team for a better performance next season.
I agree with you. I think what Napoli does will affect Osimhen's performance. Osimhen has played badly this season but the fact is that Napoli have played badly as a whole. I don't know if Osimhen has ever said that he doesn't want to play for Napoli anymore. But if Osimhen shows a bad game because he has problems with the club I think it is an unprofessional action. That will influence other clubs who want to bring in Osimhen. I think Osimhen's poor performance this season is because overall Napoli are playing badly. The transfer window is open and I believe it looks like Osimhen will leave Napoli this season. The change of manager was the main cause of Napoli setback last season, where Rudi Garcia, Mazzarri and Calzona failed to implement the right strategy, resulting in an overall decline in the players performance. Osimhen was hit by an injury, and also had an argument with the club because of a TikTok video upload, a situation that disrupted his focus on finding his best playing form. Apart from that, I think Osimhen is very professional in his relationship with Napoli. Regarding the possibility of Osimhen transfer, it is clear that Napoli are eager to cash in on him in order to make a profit, but so far no club has been serious about paying off Osimhen release clause. Osimhen price has reportedly been lowered, De Laurentiis seems to realize that Osimhen price is too expensive and does not match his performance last season. Next season Conte will be responsible for Napoli performance, his task will be difficult if Napoli succeed in releasing Osimhen but fail to get Lukaku.

Real Madrid has been known to be quite clever in recruiting the players they want so far, so that the team's strength always looks more stable every season. Apart from that, what you say is also true in that Carlo Ancelotti is also quite clever in managing the main players with reserve players so that Real Madrid does not face excessive difficulties when several players suffer injuries before the season ends. This means that Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid can implement quite effective strategies, so it is not surprising that Real Madrid continues to be taken into account in the UCL competition every season. I am sure, whoever the manager of Real Madrid is, the manager will succeed in making Real Madrid get the trophy. Because after all, basically Real Madrid itself has financial strength and thus, the manager can easily ask to buy the best players that can be brought in in the Real Madrid squad. After all, Ancelotti's success as a manager so far is also when Ancelotti manages to make the team get trophies, at least more teams are elite teams with good finances. But anyway, when Ancelotti became the manager of a mediocre team with no financial strength, the results were also bad. So yes, in this case I personally sure whoever the Real Madrid coach is, the coach will still have a great chance of success. Because with the team having a squad with great players for the main players and second-tier players, it will make the coach still manage to get good results despite rotating players. There is no doubt about Madrid financial strength, Perez is said to be a genius in managing Madrid future sustainability. Not only for the next season, even for the next few seasons Los Blancos looks very dominant over the other contestants in every competition they take part in. Success in winning trophies makes the club finances more stable, so that management can fulfill the manager request to recruit players according to his wishes. Apart from that, Ancelotti is at the right club, with quality players, whose combination of attributes will make it easier for him to lead Madrid to success like last season. It was thought that his career was over when he coached teams like Napoli and Everton, but now with Madrid all the trophies look very close to being achieved. I think next season Madrid has a big chance to retain the La Liga and Champions League trophies, where the addition of Mbappe and Endrick makes Madrid strength even more formidable.

I'm not sure, but I'm still one of those who think Kompany should be given a chance. After all, his football career was great. He must have learned a lot of tactics. He also has financial power. I'm sure there are players he likes. Even though it is not the right name for Bayern Munich, I want to believe that it is one of the names that could be right. Will he dominate next year? It's very difficult. Xavi and Leverkusen, Nuri and Dortmund will be the two teams that will challenge them the most.
Kompany has already received this chance, and now it is up to him whether he can take advantage of this chance and remain in the team, or whether he will miss this opportunity, and after a disastrous season he will become uninteresting for big teams. Maybe not everyone would agree to such a step, because the consequences could affect his future career. After Bayern he can join the ranks of the best coaches, or return to the “lower league”. It's true, choosing to become Bayern manager is not easy, on the one hand, this opportunity will be quite good for Kompany future career path if you succeed in meeting expectations, but on the other hand it could cause Kompany career to fade if he fails to carry out his duties well. Kompany will bet what he has, the opportunity to restore Bayern dominance in the Bundesliga is very open. With a number of star players in his squad, Kompany should be able to do his job more easily. We can only wait to see how Bayern will perform next season, while watching Kompany prepare his fleet by taking advantage of the transfer window. Several Bayern players are rumored to be leaving, and Kompany seems very focused on improving his team defense. I think Kompany steps are right, where last season Bayern conceded up to 45 goals in the Bundesliga, Kompany is trying to reduce the number conceded. If Kompany fails to deliver consistent performance to Bayern, we can guess that his career will be short lived at the Allianz Arena.

Next season is the time for Arsenal to stand a d fight till the end so that Arteta can prove to Pep that he has improved very well and have become better, otherwise Arteta will still remain a boy to Pep if he cannot win the league in the third season after making good attempt in two consecutive seasons.
I agree with you because Arteta has worked very hard for the club to grow but without defeating Pep Guardiola he has not really balance well, though Pep Guardiola thought him everything he knew about coaching but if Manchester City continues beaten them and taking there chances of becoming the premier League champions he will always be considered not enough to be compared with Pep Guardiola, however Arteta was almost certain of wining the premier League this season and prove to Pep Guardiola that he is also good but his boy wasn't good enough at the last part of the season, though in the case of next season I don't really know what will happen but the fact is that it will be very nice if Arteta will be victorious because there has been a lot of talk about him so next season would have been the time to prove himself. Since taking charge of Arsenal in the 2019 season, Arteta has not succeeded in leading his fleet to become Premier League champions, but in the last two seasons Arteta has begun to show signs of success. Last season Arsenal were only 2 points away from City, where Arteta has proven to be on the right track, next season perhaps Arsenal will be able to surpass City and break the dominance of Pep Guardiola fleet. Arteta needs to develop a winning mentality in each of his players, so that they can withstand various pressures. Apart from Arsenal ambition to become champions next season, City is also determined to continue maintaining dominance, and it has been proven that Pep Guardiola fleet has not shown any signs of decline. Meanwhile, in order to prepare the team for the new season, Arteta currently seems active in trying to bring in a number of new players. I think Arteta needs to recruit a striker who is more qualified than Jesus and Nketiah, so he can appear more consistent and ultimately win the race for the Premier League trophy.

When calling teams that can stand Real Madrid and can fight them to win the champions league trophy, I don’t usually add Arsenal to that list because they don’t look capable even though they’ve been trying very well recently. Teams like Manchester City and Bayern Munich are the ones are still find to be big opponents that can stop Teal Madrid from winning the champions league if they want to for another time in the next season. Pep Guardiola may have tasted defeat from Real Madrid the last time when they met in the Champions League but that’s not also a guarantee that they’ll win over them the next time they meet. Manchester City have also eliminated Real Madrid in the Champions before and that gave them the smooth path to win the champions league trophy that season. It happens to be something that any team that gets to eliminate the other will be the favourite to win the league and that has happens on two occasions so far. This next season calls for another speculations on who will win the trophy, we have to wait to see what both teams have for the next season before conclusions can be made on that.
Last season Arsenal managed to reach the quarter-finals, where expectations for Arteta's fleet were actually quite good, but in the end they failed at the hands of Bayern who were experiencing setbacks. Madrid, City and Bayern next season will be the main forces in the race for the trophy, and other candidates such as Arsenal are behind them. Arsenal's main priority is the Premier League, even though they are still trying their best in the Champions League, it is quite difficult to appear balanced in every competition. Meanwhile, if Madrid face City again next season, it will be the most interesting revenge match, we hope that this match can take place in the final. If Bayern appointed a better manager than Kompany, they would be considered equal to Madrid and City in the list of favorite teams to win. On paper, this is the scenario that might play out next season, but there is still room for the possibility of surprises. There are several new teams coming in next season, and the Champions League will also change to a new format, who knows that the trophy will be won by a non-seeded team.

Talking about Mbappe's absence, it will only affect the team's performance in the Champions League not in League One. PSG will remain the best team in League One because I don't think there is any other team in the tournament that comes close to them in terms of performance since they have been dominating the League One for a long even when Mbappe and other star players are injured. Since the team has money, they should give Luis Enrique some money to shop for more players that can help the team achieve their main aim which winning the Champions League; if they don't add some quality players, they will do well in the League one, but can fail when it comes to Champions League. Enrique definitely has the ambition to recruit a replacement for Mbappe who moved to Madrid, and to be honest PSG really needs a quality striker to compete in the Champions League. Currently, PSG chances of winning the Champions League trophy are still considered very low, where there are a number of clubs that have more ideal squads, such as Madrid, City or Bayern. However, with their financial strength, PSG can maintain their hopes for the future if they continue to invest in potential young players. Enrique better start with a new way, who knows without a star player they will be lucky. Meanwhile in Ligue 1, PSG opportunity to continue to dominate the competition is very large, where no other contestants have financial equivalents to them. The gap in strength is still very visible, no team has yet to seriously challenge PSG, Enrique's fleet is even believed to be able to win the trophy despite experiencing setbacks after Mbappe departure. We can only hope that there is a team that can suppress PSG in Ligue 1, so that it can make the competition for trophies more competitive. So far, Ligue 1 is like the Farmers League, its attraction lies only in PSG.

Xavi had to leave Barcelona because he spoke the truth. Financial problems can sometimes get in the way of everything. But Xavi had to leave his job because he often talked about financial problems. With Hansi Flick, Barca can start a new style of play. Hansi Flick's style of play and philosophy is that there is always room for improvement. Flick will carry her team with a no excuses mentality. Flick will try to get the best out of every player in the team. But it is very difficult for Flick to have a magic touch as soon as he arrives in Barcelona. He have different philosophies and ideas. So we need to give him time to settle in, find his players and then expect miracles.
It's true, only great luck and a miracle can make Barcelona win the La Liga trophy next season, where Madrid with its ideal squad is the biggest obstacle for anyone who has the ambition to top the standings at the end of the season. Hansi Flick will clearly try his best to build squad depth, given the limitations they are facing, and should refrain from making excessive comments about the club finances. Xavi was fired for commenting on the situation Barcelona was facing, Hansi Flick would have had the same fate if he did. As an elite club in La Liga, Hansi Flick has a tough task to maintain Barcelona status during his tenure, regardless of how to overcome every existing challenge. Barcelona financial difficulties will indirectly provide an advantage for Madrid to retain the trophy, but Hansi Flick must try his best to keep Barcelona from being knocked out of the top four of the standings. If Hansi Flick starts their campaign by relying on a number of young players, even though they are not successful in their first season, in the long term this step will lead Barcelona out of the financial crisis.
