UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well, I think that Madrid as it is can make a difference and there is no doubt about that, I think that things can be very different because they are always going to do a lot of good things, on the one hand they have Vinicius, on the other hand they have Rodrygo He has Bellingham and that could make the difference, I don't see Mbappé in Madrid, I think Haaland is much better, I just hope they can bring Haaland, he would be much better than any player for now, but everything is up to him if he wants to leave or not from City, because the truth is I don't see that Pepe gives him as good opportunities as Ancelotti gives him, it's something that I couldn't say that could be as necessary, but with a coach like him it's the best, well that's it. I think the css can be, it's all about seeing them from the point of view that can improve the team, a new striker like him can change the team as mostly very attacking, in the event that Mbappé arrives, I don't know, no It seems to me that he could do so much because he is a very egocentric player and that doesn't help.

yep, we probably dont need to worry too much even though Ancelotti failed to bring in a pure striker like Mbappe but the players that Real Madrid have still look very good with some of the players you mentioned, especially Vinicius and Bellingham who currently seem to be key players for Madrid to continue to get the winning score to win the title in UCL and on the one hand we dont know for sure whether Madrid really failed to bring in a striker player or whether it would be a surprise to be able to bring in a truly quality player.

mbappe or Haaland are both very suitable to be Real Madrid strikers, its just that these two players seem really difficult to get because the team that has these two players also has the goal of trying to try their hand at the UCL this season so it little difficult to recruit these high quality players.
but who knows if it will be surprise because money can change a football player mind and I am more comfortable waiting for whatever player will be brought to Real Madrid, of course the player has very good quality talent but I support you if Haaland will be better suitable compared to Mbappe.

Well, I don't know if you've seen the videos they show of Haaland, he's a great person, he's an exceptional teammate, he's humble, he shows respect for everyone on his team, on any team there are people who are in charge of cleaning the deliver the water, and Haaland has always had that kindness to make these people feel good, that he sees them for what they do, for what they are, and he is not at all a player who has a high ego like most players, like the case of Mbappé who in that is the opposite, he has a big ego that does not make his teammates like him, in fact Messi and Neymar are the best friends, but when he put Mbappé there things seemed heavy, nothing good and that is something that we still don't understand, I really laughed at Mbappé because he was a nice person or something, but of course he operated when he himself asked the sheikh that he wanted to eliminate a few players, well that doesn't sit well with anyone, except Neymar, and that's something that bothers anyone.

Whenever I'm going to do something that has to do with a player like Mbappé, I prefer that he be very far from a Madrid team, and that even Haaland has the doors open, because that's what it's about being on a team with stars who can make the difference, and that is something that is not achieved so easily, but not that it is impossible, in the case of Mbappé he rejected Madrid when he was always in charge of being in the best of the positions, but Flotentino made an offer that he He didn't like the player so he's a very egocentric player, so it's easy to have rejected him, for that reason I say, Mbappé doesn't have Madrid blood, in fact, they prefer that they take him to Barcelona, and if he goes to Liverpool believes that the one who would leave would be the Colombian, because he is the one who is not European and is more likely to leave, because with Mbappé, it is not known, it could be that the player has many whims.

This would be a huge surprise if Pep Guardiola decided to extend his contract one again as he already broke his golden rule once. He said many years ago that he will never stay with the same club for more than three years, but obviously he knows that he found what he was looking for at Manchester City. Lots of money to be made, good investment strategies in quantity and quality for the squad and I think he is not only the coach, but he has lots of responsibilities and rights in the club. It is exactly the way he wants it. I am not sure if he will extend his contract once again, but the question then would be where he could go next without making a step back in his career.

The contract of every coach doesn't exceed three years but Pep Guardiola have won the hearts of manchester city board, they've placed gigantic offer for Pep Guardiola for upcoming seasos. Alot of questions throwing behind the club's headcoach, Pep Guardiola about his next move from the Etihad stadium. He's one of the respectable coach in football, leaving manchester city wouldn't work this season because there's alot of work and priorities to accomplish for the club. Pep Guardiola is the reason behind the strong foundation of Manchester City, they stand brilliant in matches and among the top teams regarded as the best.

But I wasn't referring to contracts in general, but more to his "golden rule" when he said that he won't stay at one place for more than three years, but he did break that rule for Manchester City.

I think when a coach built a great team and sees how the team thrives and becomes better, it is hard to say goodbye. But what is so impressive about Guardiola is that he built the most dangerous Barcelona there ever was in the history of the club. And then he decided to leave the club, which I still don't understand in some aspects, but I guess he wanted something new, a new challenge.

I think we should hope to see magic from Guardiola in Manchester City because, with the current situation they have in Manchester City, they are not in the good form at all to have a high chance for the Champions League compared to the other teams.
However, Manchester City can decide to put in more energy and try improving the team during the winter.

If you are aware of the current Real Madrid squad, in reality Real Madrid already has a young squad and in fact, only a few players are over 30 years old and among them only Kroos and Modric and also they contracts will expire at the end of this season . Therefore, basically Real Madrid has succeeded in maximizing its young squad for the long term of Real Madrid too, of course. So ya, it doesn't matter if Real Madrid is still targeting Mbappe because after all, having lots of high potential players in the squad is also a good way. Because after all, Real Madrid is used to having many star players in its squad, so it is not surprising that Real Madrid is still rumored to still want Mbappe in its squad.

I think Real Madrid now is different to Real Madrid that people used to know before. They are now not rushing to buy star players like they did before, but instead of observing and buying the perfect fit players to their system. I guess this is the reason they havent sign a striker to replace Benzema. The emphasis on developing a youthful squad with high potential players suggests a strategic vision for the long term. It appears that Real Madrid is actively planning for the future.

The pursuit of Mbappe aligns with the club's tradition of having star players. Real Madrid has historically been associated with assembling a roster of top talent, and the interest in Mbappe reflects the ongoing commitment to maintaining that standard.
Having a mix of experienced players and rising talents can create a well-balanced and competitive team. If Real Madrid can secure Mbappe, it would not only strengthen their squad but also contribute to the overall vibrancy and potential for success in both domestic and international competitions.

However, Manchester City can decide to put in more energy and try improving the team during the winter.

A top-tier EPL club, like as Manchester City, does not need to be in complete disarray because their route has been secured and cleared by the club's front-runner. Manchester City are the defending UEFA Champions, and they will stop at nothing to broaden its the pressure on their opponents. When we see Pep Guardiola in the picture, we know there is an existential threat for both elite and mediocre teams. Let me remind you that Manchester City is widely recognized as the best club in the European world of football, and this particular club has a way to strengthen their performance against their opponents on the pitch. Manchester City is gamed, and they will not hold back from giving everything they have in major tournaments.

[armanda90]

Even if Real Madrid decides not to sign any other player this season, they are definitely still going to perform well and they will not end up without trophy this season. Since the beginning of this season, Real Madrid has been without a natural striker but Ancelotti has devised a means to use Jude Bellingham to accomplish the role of a striker. This does not totally eliminate the need of a striker in the Real Madrid team.

However, if Real Madrid is lucky to land Mbappé in their team, it will mean nothing than seeing a much stronger Real Madrid who will likely look on oppose in winning their local League and as well as the Champions League. No matter the fact that some persons actually hurts Mbappe, that will in no way eliminate the fact that Mbappé is a big force in the world of football. I do not think that any team will ever regret having Mbappé at any point in time. He is a very fast and energetic player, young and not injury prone.

For winter transfer window bit possibility with Mbappe will recruit by Real Madrid after Carlo Ancelotti confirming will not sign any new players yet, since the beginning season between domestic league and champion league Real Madrid not use real striker and Ancelotti put Rodrygo or Jude Bellingham as false nine. Not much problem for Real Madrid although can't sign Mbappe in this winter transfer window because they have many option on attacking line and some time Joselu can perform well as striker.

RB Leipzig is team opponent for Real Madrid on 16 round, have many weeks left and I sure Carlo Ancelotti already for facing Bundesliga team although can't sign new players on this winter transfer. Seems not the end talking with possibility Mbappe will join Real Madrid or not because last news he was denied with all rumor linked he will be Real Madrid player next season.

[ancafe]

I don’t think Real Madrid really wants to surprise us. In my opinion, they need Mbappe to replace that position, but in my opinion, this transfer won’t take much time again since everyone was thinking he would join them last season during the transfer window and he didn't, so I believe he will do that this season without wasting time. Although we all know these deals are unpredictable, I have not seen any confirmed information from reliable sources yet that Mbappe will make them during the transfer window, so let's keep watching to see if Mbappe will take the deal this time around.

This is not about giving fans a surprise, but Real Madrid really needs Mbappe to complete their squad. No one knows what Mbappe's future will be like now because before there is an official announcement there is still a possibility that something will happen. Just like the previous season where Mbappe had reached several agreements but in the end he decided to extend his contract with PSG.

This is the last chance for Mbappe if he wants to play for Real Madrid because if you think that next season Real Madrid will still need him enough are wrong. It will be interesting to see how this condition can work out because there are many people who want to see Mbappe in the Los Blancos uniform.

Real Madrid is still a player to play as a sticker for them and because of not having this player Real Madrid is not in a good situation. It seems Real Marid is still interested in hiring Mbappe or some other player but at the same time, they don't have to lose their prestige for a player and make people think they will wait for an even for hiring this player.
However, I think Real Madrid can also focus on their younger player and ignore Mbappe forever.

well, this is what I hope that Real Madrid will have to do other alternatives to be able to create a strong striker, even though they will ignore Mbappe, but at least they have got another option.
for example, failing to recruit Mbappe and preferring to develop the talents of the young players they have, such as Bellingham, who for me is still young, and several other young players.
I really understand that Real Madrid will not be able to achieve good results without a striker and I think that it should not be too focused on Mbappe but most importantly a pure striker player who can make the best contribution to winning the UCL title.

If you are aware of the current Real Madrid squad, in reality Real Madrid already has a young squad and in fact, only a few players are over 30 years old and among them only Kroos and Modric and also they contracts will expire at the end of this season . Therefore, basically Real Madrid has succeeded in maximizing its young squad for the long term of Real Madrid too, of course.

Because after all, Real Madrid is used to having many star players in its squad, so it is not surprising that Real Madrid is still rumored to still want Mbappe in its squad.

I think Mbappe is one of the names that should be in this squad. On the offensive line, Joselu is still in a form far from expected. His out-of-shape stance also affects Real Madrid. He has only 5 goals in 19 games, which is a very poor statistic for a striker. He scored 16 goals in Espanyol, but this is insufficient for Real.

[Mayor of ogba]

However, I think Real Madrid can also focus on their younger player and ignore Mbappe forever.

Yep. Talking about the potential of Madrid's young players makes more sense than spending €1 billion just on Mbappe.
And I think Madrid is now focused on regeneration. They have no interest in creating Galacticos Volume III and the like.
Currently, 11 young players will replace Luka Modric's generation.
Arda Guler, Rodriguez, Bellingham, Camavinga, Vinni, Rodrygo, and Brahim Diaz are the Next dream team and  Madrid's future projects.

Ohhhh waitt.... where did you get that if it needs 1 billion to sign mbappe from other club? I meant it it was very clear that if mbappe has said that regarding how much fees needed for his signing fees combined with his salary. It was not even touching 250 millions.

Please read this mate. https://www.si.com/fannation/soccer/futbol/transfers/how-signing-kylian-mbappe-on-free-transfer-could-cost-238-5m

According to AS, Mbappe is demanding a signing-on fee in the region of €100m ($108.5m), as well as a salary of €35m ($38m) per year.

Mbappe's salary demands are reportedly what he wants after tax. Therefore, it would effectively cost his next club closer to €60m ($65m) per year to meet those demands.

The most recent contract signed by Mbappe with PSG was for two years.

So, let us suppose he will sign for two years if he joins either Real Madrid or Liverpool on a 'free transfer' next summer...

That would cost his new club around €220m ($238.5m) over the duration of the deal - plus bonuses, of course!

It was very wrong to say that if it needs 1 billion to be spent for signing him. I think that you need also to get the latest news regarding it. Real madrid has so many great players on mid but they lack of players who can play at the attacking line. Even real madrid has only a striker in the club right now.
Real madrid it's not only need mbappe but the club really needs a new number 9 as well. So, ancellotti neds to bring nwe striker to the club soon.

That is why I said that it will be hard for Real Madrid to sign Mbappe from PSG because PSG management has spent so much money on Mbappe. PSG will never allow Mbappe to leave PSG as a free agent instead, they give Mbappe another lucrative offer to remain at PSG.

I think Mbappe is one of the names that should be in this squad. On the offensive line, Joselu is still in a form far from expected. His out-of-shape stance also affects Real Madrid. He has only 5 goals in 19 games, which is a very poor statistic for a striker. He scored 16 goals in Espanyol, but this is insufficient for Real.

I see that Joselu's quality is not suitable for him to play with a team as big as Real Madrid.
And Mbappe has been Real Madrid's target for the last few seasons, even the Mbappe transfer drama is very complicated and never ending. If we talk about eligibility, of course Mbappe is very worthy because currently Mbappe is one of the best players in the world.
However, regardless of whether Real Madrid succeeds or not in getting Mbappe this season, in my opinion the Real Madrid team should look for a new striker to sharpen their front line.

[zaim7413]

Hope you Know that if Real Madrid coach succeed to sign Kylian Mbappe this year,  it will not make the team to look for more strikers next season because he has what it takes to handle the front to ensure there is improvement in the team.

I know that those new players Real Madrid signed in during the summer will do well in the future but some players they know very well as a talented striker will not cause Real Madrid regret because their past results always show what they will do if they enter another team this season which Kylian Mbappe is among such players.

Did you actually think so? I don't think the team will be leads stronger if they succeed in signing Mbappe this January, besides, it will increase their chances of winning more trophies before the end of the season because Mbappe if paired with Vinicius Jr, and with Jude Bellingham behind them; they will be a deadly front three and they will score plenty goals.

If Real Madrid succeeds in bringing in Mbappe, a deadly trio will be formed on the front line. It will be easier for Ancelotti to assemble a line-up filled with quality players in various lines. Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham will be a trio ready to tear apart the opponent's defense with their skills and abilities. Winning a title is no longer impossible for Real Madrid, they will have more freedom to dominate various competitions with the quality players they have.

[klidex]

Actually, this is just a drama that might not really happen in the future because Mbappe actually hasn't stuck to what he said so I'm sure that Real Madrid won't have much hope for Mbappe to join them. Mbappe is a high quality player in the PSG squad so the higher ups in the PSG team will restrain Mbappe from leaving to another team. Apart from that, I think there are some strong rumors about Real Madrid's interest in Mbappe, but I don't think he will leave Psg anytime soon.

Apart from that, Real Madrid really needs quality strikers in the second half of this season. Moreover, Ancelotti has extended his contract with Real Madrid so he will look for players who are ready to work with him in achieving their targets this season or the next season.

Mbappe's drama will never end because the media exaggerates the names of Mbappe and Real Madrid even though the two have not yet reached a definite agreement. If we hear a definite agreement from either Real Madrid or Mbappe regarding his move to Real Madrid, I think we can conclude the truth these rumors, but if there is no agreement, these rumors will get louder in all corners of football, but even so, many people hope that Mbappe will really leave PSG and move to another club that can improve his career in football.

Even though they need it, Real Madrid is not too ambitious to have a striker, they play with a spirit of teamwork so they still perform well to date. Indeed, the strikers that Real Madrid have are not very sharp, but with Ancelotti's skills, Real Madrid is still a strong club and their defense also quite strong and I'm sure Real Madrid is still quite strong with its current formation.

@Zanab247 why are you so sure that Ancelotti can bring Mbappe to Real Madrid? what makes you so sure? and do you have a confirmed source?

since last season when Real Madrid was linked with Mbappe I have always been waiting for valid news about these rumors but until today I have not found any news that makes me believe that he will go to Real Madrid and in fact PSG still retains Mbappe to continue to provide the best contribution in the UCL and Liverpool also want Mbappe, of course they will make a very good offer, while Real Madrid also has good achievements to convince Mbappe to choose to go to Madrid.
so with all these problems, are you still sure that Real Madrid will be able to bring in Mbappe?
TBH, I also hope he can choose Madrid but we also have to be able to see how true the rumors that are spreading are rather than having to disappoint ourselves by hoping that Mbappe will come with great power but everything is just fake.

I just prefer to hope that Ancelotti can help get the UCL title and several other titles to achieve greater achievements.

Real Madrid knows what is best for itself in the future, so it will not immediately be fooled by recruiting Mbappe if there is no more reasonable clarity and just to spend more money without anything that Real Madrid itself can hope for. I also agree more with what you say because young players will be more suitable to be maintained and polished well for the future of Real Madrid rather than continuing to think about new players even though their age is not yet in the old category.

Hope you Know that if Real Madrid coach succeed to sign Kylian Mbappe this year,  it will not make the team to look for more strikers next season because he has what it takes to handle the front to ensure there is improvement in the team.

It may be wrong. Real madrid doesn't have pure striker except joselu which will be back to the espanyol next season. How can you say that if real madrid doesn't need a new striker? The club needs a striker and this shall be someone like haaland. Mbappe is far better in playing as a winger instead of striker. You can call him to play as a striker but his performance will not be as good as like when he being placed as a right winger. I think that it's not really wrong to buy the new striker. Real madrid can use various combinations on it.

I can imagine when real madrid to have haaland as its striker then real madrid will have two best wingers in the world combined with best attacking midfielder like bellingham and striker like haaland.
You can imagine how big real madrid in the future once the club will able to buy haaland's release clause. Haaland will be very suitable to play on real madrid and i hope i can see him in the future to join in the real madrid.
It will be competing the maint target owned by ancellotti.

But based on the news I read two days ago, it was stated that Mbappe had agreed to move to Real Madrid at the end of the season after his contract expired at PSG. I hope the news is true. And actually news about this has also been made in more news media. And one of them is the one I read. But last season the same news circulated, but the difference was that last season the news only contained speculation according to the news media. But in this news, comments from Mbappe himself are also mentioned which make it look very real. And I hope it's real and actually happens. So Real Madrid has a great striker again at last.

But I also feel that PSG will not let him go that easily. so the drama about Mbappe will probably continue. And the answer will be at the end of the season.

Actually, he does not want to play for Real Madrid in my opinion. He actually wants money more than anything and for money, he can do anything. So I do not think he will go to Real Madrid if Real Madrid does not give him the same or more than what PSG is giving him. Of course, maybe he will have a change of heart and maybe he will actually go to Real Madrid. But all of them are speculations and rumors.  Nothing is certain when it comes to Mbappe moving to Real Madrid. And of course, the media and news outlets are making all the juice out of it, as much as they can.

[Jody.Drummer]

I can imagine when real madrid to have haaland as its striker then real madrid will have two best wingers in the world combined with best attacking midfielder like bellingham and striker like haaland.
You can imagine how big real madrid in the future once the club will able to buy haaland's release clause. Haaland will be very suitable to play on real madrid and i hope i can see him in the future to join in the real madrid.
It will be competing the maint target owned by ancellotti.

It is difficult to realize that now, because Manchester City will not let this player go easily, they will definitely do everything possible to make this player stay with them for a long time.  Haaland also seems to be comfortable at Manchester City, until now I haven't heard any bad news about him while with Manchster City, it means he is welcomed and accepted by everyone.
Manchester City will be very difficult to find a replacement for him if this player leaves. He fits perfectly with Manchester City's style of play, especially since he is always spoiled by his teammates to be able to create goals easily. So I don't think this player will be easy to leave Manchester City.

By February the knock out stage for the UCL will kick off and for some teams, it'll be an easy slide through regardless of the notion of the strongest teams being the ones able to scale into this stage. City and Copenhagen would go against each other and it's very much clear that City would be the survivors. No offense to Copenhagen fans buy if you compare both sides you'll see that City stand and better chance and even got better squad and tactics.

 Their key men are back and set to run and definitely that's enough charge to weigh down Copenhagen. Yes, in their home ground, they may try to put up a battle but I'm certain that City will be capable to overturn them. They're way ahead of them in capacity and ability too. As always, the round of 16 will have as much fun as there can be in it and it's greatly anticipated. Preparations and games would definitely be intense too.

And there is still quite lot of time left for each team to prepare for the match, it is clear that if they lose in two legs of the match they will be eliminated from the UCL competition.
In the Manchester City vs Copenhagen match, it is clear that Manchester City will be the favorite and in the first and second leg matches, Manchester City will definitely have the advantage.
Even though the first leg will be home match for Copenhagen, I sure that Manchester City can still win it and for the second leg of course Manchester City will have another big victory because they have home match.

With the return of the main players, Pep can use the perfect composition of players like he helped Manchester City win three competitions last season.
For the Premier League itself, Newcastle is still not great opponent for Manchester City and of course all conveniences can be obtained when very perfect squad is well structured.

In every transfer window we have too much hype about few players with media and many sites need more intention with their masala news with nothing is predictable but most chances we will have no Haaland in Real Madrid just few days back we have some reports about Kylian Mbappé and now media highlighting about Haaland with he is doing good job here at Manchester City and his intention is clear to give his best and with as many records he can make in front of his name.

€200 Million is release clause and contract is going to end after end of 2027 season mean all possibilities are available but most chances he will not do anything without taking his time Real Madrid is doing impressive without any big name and last night their win against Atlético Madrid in Super Cup is also giving indication how things are going so for the better results about this all we have to wait for the summer transfer window which will give better updates how players are going to have their future strategy.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I also think that this is just a drama about Mbappe to have agreed upon a contract deal with Real Madrid. I mean just think about it. It must have been a week or so since Mbappe said that he didn't want to be in a hurry to make his decision about this topic. He just wanted to focus on his game until the end of the season.

But a short time after this statement news websites started to write like Mbappe has already agreed with Real Madrid.    Do you think this can be real? Honestly, I don't think so.

Mbappe will just try to do his best to help PSG win the Champions League title this season. The result of this effort would surely be effective on his final decision on the transfer topic.

 Their key men are back and set to run and definitely that's enough charge to weigh down Copenhagen. Yes, in their home ground, they may try to put up a battle but I'm certain that City will be capable to overturn them. They're way ahead of them in capacity and ability too. As always, the round of 16 will have as much fun as there can be in it and it's greatly anticipated. Preparations and games would definitely be intense too.

And there is still quite lot of time left for each team to prepare for the match, it is clear that if they lose in two legs of the match they will be eliminated from the UCL competition.
In the Manchester City vs Copenhagen match, it is clear that Manchester City will be the favorite and in the first and second leg matches, Manchester City will definitely have the advantage.
Even though the first leg will be home match for Copenhagen, I sure that Manchester City can still win it and for the second leg of course Manchester City will have another big victory because they have home match.

With the return of the main players, Pep can use the perfect composition of players like he helped Manchester City win three competitions last season.
For the Premier League itself, Newcastle is still not great opponent for Manchester City and of course all conveniences can be obtained when very perfect squad is well structured.

On papers all looking easy for the Manchester City, but real time action is going to happen on 14th February at Parken Stadium last time we have encounter between these two sides which ended without having any goal and frustrated Manchester City have to share points with Copenhagen now what happen in this knock out round is surely looking good but still anything can happen because all teams are doing their best for staying into competition and Copenhagen is also trying to keep things at the top after having surprising promotion from group stage.

Manchester City which was missing their few key players now having good time and things can give them good advantage with first leg match is also still have nearly one month which mean they will be in better shape and surely going to have good booster for another double which is not easy this time.
