Manchester City want the Champions League title so bad now. Guardiola wants to achieve this in the first place. Since his time started at Manchester City, their main goal has been winning the Champions League title. I think they have an adequate squad to reach the title actually and they have improved their squad even more now thanks to signing Erling Haaland. This would absolutely reflect on the odds for them to become the champions next season. But the odds don't tell the facts every time so we will see.

Even without Haaland, Manchester City had excellent chances to win the Champions League title in recent years and has always been among the most important favorites, but the club is constantly missing a little something. City fans can now hope that with the arrival of Haaland, this will disappear a little bit and nothing will interfere with winning the coveted title Seriously, in the last two years, the team is literally a step or two away from winning the Champions League and the team just needs to take this step and realize its potential, the most important thing is not to stop. You can treat Guardiola differently, but still there is no denying that he is doing an amazing job in his post.

Last season also Manchester City were favorites in the Champions League, although that could not make them truly champions. Additional ammunition in their attack line is their strategy to add strength to wade through the Champions League next season. We know that they were knocked out by Real Madrid in a painful way, for sure they will make sure it doesn't happen again in the coming season.

The arrival of Nunez and Haaland to the EPL will increase their chances of winning the UCL even greater. Competition will also be fiercer. In addition, in the history of several UCL seasons, EPL clubs have always been able to participate and most of them can enter the last 16. I don't know for next season, but I feel sure they can do better next season. But I also realize that there are always surprises. All my predictions are based on the statistics of the existing players and sometimes mentality plays a full role in the match.

Yes, that is also the reason I am still very much considering Manchester City as a candidate for the Champions League title for next season. Although I admit other teams have also made good changes for the team, but I think in this era it seems that the main actors are still Pep and Klopp where both of them can build a very good team which of course they have good budget support. Maybe for now we will agree that Manchester City does have a chance to win the Champions League title for next season, but even so that does not mean the process will be easy because in the end there will still be a surprise from each process that is passed.

Of course, since he came, Man City has been great but has always failed to win the UCL. Since 2016 Pep has given 10 titles to Manchester City. With good financial circumstances, of course, Pep is easy to get the players they want. Of course the arrival of Haaland strengthens Pep .'s desire for the UCL champions this season. But sometimes a lot of good players also do not guarantee to win. But I think Man City will be the favorites to win next season.

At least I think Man City is one of the strongest candidates to play in the UCL final next season, regardless of winning or not, we are still waiting for who will be Man City's opponent. Haaland's arrival further strengthened the city's chances of being there.

Each league has prepared the strongest team to face the UCL next season, such as Munich from the Bundesliga, Madrid and Barcelona from Laliga, PSG from France, and Man city with Liverpool from the EPL, some of these teams made changes team formations to face UCL, by far they are the strongest candidate to win UCL next season

Manchester City have been the favorites for the Champions League for the last few seasons. But they can't win the title. Their squad, coaches and gameplay are all good enough. But unfortunately they still failed to win the title. However, with Haaland in the squad this season, they have become even stronger. Maybe this season they will be able to form a team worthy of winning the Champions League title.

If talking about favorites is true, it cannot be denied that Man City has win the UCL qualifying group in the last 5 seasons, that's why I say Man City is one of the candidates who have the potential to qualify for the UCL final next season. In addition, the five teams that I mentioned earlier cannot be underestimated, because these five teams have become part of UCL history every season, City must be careful with that. Hopefully Haaland and Pep Guardiola can bring new history to Man City in the UCL competition.

Manchester City might be right in taking a step like this just in a bid to increase it's chance for better performance against next season, i still can't figure out their major area of lapses that resulted to their woeful performance this season, now that all expectations is high i want to believe Erling Haaland is going to make a difference with an outstanding performance, i hope he's going to make a team together with the remaining players and build a new career record with Manchester City.

It's not a new phenomenon anymore if Manchester City really want the Champions League title. Signing quality players every season is an important part for them to keep trying to maintain their chances of performing well throughout the season and reaching the Champions League final.

Guardiola failed in recent seasons in the Champions League with Manchester City despite having a number of quality players. But next season he will get that chance again, but don't know if he can make his wish come true.

Haaland might and might not make any difference in the club quest for the champions league title. As City makes plans on making their team formidable so is other clubs like Barcelona going for Lewandoski and B. Silva too . I think even with Haaland in the team Madrid will still remain a threat to them in the champions league by next season .

If there is any where Haaland can cause threat to defense is in the premier league , the champions league is a different game, a different competition as well as a different spirit

Manchester City has always had a high target in the Champions League, Pep Guardiola is indeed ambitious to bring Manchester City to win this prestigious competition on the plains of Europe. However, their struggles always run aground, even though the composition of the team is very promising. Indeed in this case I say that luck has not been on his side.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

while some managers fail to be productive with big names for example Mauricio Pochettino did well at Tottenham which earned him the job at PSG but so far has not lived up to expectation and news getting to me today read he has been sacked by PSG so its one thing to manage a top club and another to bring out the best in them.

Mauricio Pochettino isn't a manager I idolize like the rest, I still don't understand why PSG went for him. The only reason I could think about is that, there was no available manager. Mauricio Pochettino isn't a good manager in my books and not fit to manage a big culb. He did poorly at Tottenham which lead to him been sack. Since I have seen him managed, I haven't seen any trophy he lifted. The only reason Tottenham were still in the top four discussion with as because of Harry Kane scoring record.

We could see other players picking form as other managers took over at Tottenham and shifted the attention from Harry Kane. During Joseph Mourinho season we saw players like Dele Ali pick up form and also currently as conte is managing the Club players like Son has been performing more than Harry Kane, good managers are supposed to bring out the best in players not profiting from the skills of a particular player.

Indeed for Leg 2 they made a mistake and were too confident that time.
But for next season I still feel that they will be able to do better when compared to this season for City especially with this addition of players. As long as they are not too confident and the superiority of the players they currently have, don't let them have too much confidence because this is also not good and they shouldn't do things like this season in the Champions League.
They will still be seeded but indeed for the Champions to be seeded is not enough because there are several big clubs there too.

Guardiola is an experienced coach, I'm sure he will learn a lot from Man City's failure several times in the Champions League. Next season I predict
Man City will play more carefully and of course will make more mature preparations. Moreover, Man City has several new players who can strengthen
their squad, Man City should be able to perform better in the Champions League next season. Actually, there is nothing wrong with having high
self-confidence when playing football, even that is one of the important factors in achieving victory. But it becomes something bad if self-confidence is
too much, it will make Man City underestimate the opponent to be faced. That's in my opinion the weakness of Man City this season, because Man City
have a squad with many star players, they forget that the Champions League competition is much different from the EPL competition. So Man City
when playing in the Champions League have to play much more carefully, because the opponents facing Man City are the best teams in their
respective leagues.

The problem is that for City they have been unlucky for the Champions League.
They are always seeded season after season but they always fail in the competition.
There is nothing lacking in their club. Having strong enough Finances, Talented Players on every front and a great coach but they still can't make the title or at least say more for the Champions League.

After Haaland in the squad, I believe the dream could happen. the team will get stronger if Haaland can organize his new partner Julian Alvarez, from River Plate in front, only if Pep implements a new strategy with 2 attackers (3-5-2). but if impossible, Haaland will be a single attacker like in Dortmund, even though that position is very risky for to him get injured.

That's right, the arrival of their new player, Erling Haaland will add to their strength. But we also have to consider other teams that are also strengthening themselves to compete in the domestic league and also the Champions League. For several seasons Manchester City have been the favorites for it, but it is the strength of their rivals' luck that has forced them to bury their hopes.

The Champions League is the toughest football competition to win and each season we have at least 5 or 6 favorites to win this trophy.
Let's be realistic, we can't say that the best team wins this competition every time, but the team who is the most prepared, and has the necessary mental strength and concentration during a very hard season.
I have to admit that it is unexpected to me that Manchester City has not yet won this competition but it seems to me that Pep is also partly responsible.
It seems to me that he played too carefully in all the key games and changed his strategy and game plan too much.

Depending on just one attacker like Dortmund, setting up a formation would be very risky. Because if Haaland gets injured, Guardiola will not be able to find a replacement. And so the formation of Manchester City next season will most likely be 3-5-2. Guardiola will use two strikers. Guardiola will definitely decorate his team next season with a new strategy.

I think they are not very careful, their therapy is losing mentality I think. They are often eliminated in situations where they actually become the underdog team, not only are they the underdog but they have a better situation in their gameplay. But in reality all that is not able to make them really on the win. Pep must see this as their weakness, in certain situations Pep must be able to give special instructions to break their mentality.

Lucky isn't important role to get the title and you cannot be rely on your luck in this competition and champion league is the placed where the strong European teams competed so the favourite is not only belongs to Manchester City because Bayern Munich, Real Madrid or Juventus also can consider as the favourite and they have many talented players too and Guardiola has been spent a lot of money to strengthen team and recently he successfully get Haaland but if he failed again to get champion league trophy i think it's time for him to leave Man City

Injury of a football player like Haaland? I think no one would want such a thing, he is a very young football player and is already among the best in the world.
The squad is quite strong, but I'm very curious as to what the team's strategy will be. Playing with only one striker may not be the right choice. They will want to create a stronger and stronger team
