It is true that İlkay did not have a very good season in Barcelona. He played 36 matches and scored five goals and made nine assists. He had better statistics with Guardiola. The German football player is currently the captain of the German national team in the Euro 2024 tournament. When Manchester City had him, Guardiola made him team captain. Considering these, he is actually an experienced player for Barcelona. I think coach Flick should keep İlkay in the team for one more year.

Talking about Gundogan, this midfielder is one of the most consistent players in Barcelona, ​​unfortunately the performance of the Barcelona players as a whole is not in ideal condition. we can refer to the statistics, Gundohan played almost the full season and had good statistical value even though he did not contribute much to defending the League title for Barcelona. It's true what you say, if we compare when Gundohan was still in the Manchester City uniform. but we also have to look at the whole team, as well as Gundohan at Barcelona. Barcelona's condition last season was very inconsistent, many players were injured and the performance of several defensive players was weak.

Well, to be honest, I just heard that there were rumors that he would leave Barcelona for another club. in fact, if I'm not mistaken, Gundohan really appreciated Hansi Flick when it was rumored that he would replace Xavi at that time. Now Hansi Flick is in charge of Barcelona, ​​so I'm not sure if Gunrohan will leave Barcelona so soon. Moreover, Gundohan is no longer young, he doesn't have many options to choose the club he wants if he leaves Camp Nou. If anyone is interested in Gundohan, it is most likely a club from Saudi or Qatar. Anyway, I am sure that Gundohan will remain at Camp Nou and prepare himself when the competition is held under the guidance of Hansi Flick.

All three players you mentioned are not too bad for the team, Lewandowski and Gudogan are top class player who have been in successful clubs and I feel they still retain this winning mentality which we are yet to see the best of them at Barcelona. A new season should be a good start for Barcelona despite having lesser possibility of winning La Liga, they will have a good season, runner up with no much point difference with Madrid.

How true is it that Yamal is being bid for as the substitute for Mbappe at PSG?

Joselu has made a name for himself over the years but when it gets to some certain level, delicate challenges and decisions will be faced and made, especially when they are at the peak of their career. Joselu is now 34 years old, I think he should look for the money when he still can. Just like what the renowned players are doing around the world now, I think retirement is what he should be thinking about instead of sinking his glory more in Real Madrid. Going to Real Madrid was never a mistake but the present situation where he is now a bencher is, it's absurd. Even if they would extend his contract for one year, I don't think it's worth it with the obvious analysis, nothing will change.

Thankfully, you mentioned yourself that Mbappé is coming to Madrid, a player like that with all young blood and a better current profile will only multiply the issue for Joselu, the best is for the guy to exit. As for the club he is going to, as we all know, Saudi Professional League is the name now when it comes to money and where seasoned European players are turning to, this means a huge money for him. Al-Gharafa is the surest bet as at the last time I read about him last week, he better do this and prove himself further to retire gloriously.

Who do you consider to be a less experienced player in Barcelona, ​​maybe Lewandovka, or Gundogan, or Ter Stegen? Every team has enough young and experienced players, it’s just that Barcelona last season faced the problem of a large number of injured players and the absence of Ter Stegan was especially acute when Baocelona conceded too many, this became decisive. But I can’t say that Barcelona is much weaker than Real. Perhaps Flick will cope with his responsibilities as well as Xavi, and given that he is a more experienced coach, he can also respond more steadfastly to criticism than Xavi did.

Gundogan may have had the best time of his career with Manchester City but since his contract with Manchester City expired when he signed a new long-term deal with Barcelona, we have seen him not perform very well. After failing to produce significant performances for Barcelona last season, there have been rumors this season that he might leave Barcelona for another club. Barcelona may not currently have the same player as Manchester City, but I'd rather have him at Barcelona. Gundogan may have had a bad first season but his next season could be better. If one more season does not improve his performance at Barcelona then he should decide to move to another league.

As far as I understand, when Saudi Arabian teams start spending big money, Qatari teams will also start spending this year. I think Qatar is a better country. If the players had to choose between two options, Qatar would be one step ahead. Qatar is also a good option for Joselu. I think it is a good decision to earn both high income and play regular football in this period.

For now, Real Madrid is predicted to return easily to defend the title and dominate La Liga. However, it is also possible that Barcelona will perform beyond our predictions, maybe they will play much better with their new coach, Hansi Flick. Comparing the composition of players from the two big clubs in La Liga, in my opinion Barcelona also still has a good composition of players, it's just that when compared with Real Madrid, it's clear that Real Madrid is still better.

Talking about the experience of the players at these two clubs, in my opinion they are not much different in terms of experience, but again Real Madrid could perhaps be said to have players whose experience is more evenly distributed than Barcelona. What is highlighted is the problem of the players' mentality. I see Real Madrid being more successful in forming the mentality of the players they currently have. Even though they are still young, they have a very good mentality.

I mean a club has to do what a club needs to do. You know the management doesn't allow Hansi Flick to spend huge money. So Flick has to rely on the scouts to actually find them really good young and teenage players. La Blaugrana will eventually need to rely on them if the financial situation does not get better anytime soon. And it also does not look like it is going to get better anytime soon.

This 18 year old teenage winger seems excited, he definitely has talent, last season scored 18 goals for the Nastic Youth A team. But the question is how is he going to perform when he comes to the environment of La Liga giants? When there is a shortage of money, doesn’t matter how good the environment is, there is always going to be tension going around at the back of the heads of everyone in the club.

The media has provided a lot of news about Joselu's transfer to Qatari club Al-Gharafa but there has been no official confirmation.
Joselu is 34 years old, he doesn't have many opportunities to develop his career anymore and he also very likely won't get many more playing minutes at Real Madrid so it's time for Joselu to make as much money as possible before he decides to retire.
This wasn't a bad decision for Joselu.

And for the Real Madrid team, of course Joselu's departure will not have any effect, Real Madrid has already had Mbappe arrive which of course will make their attack line much stronger.

Yeah and that's perfect. All I see is Real Madrid still winning a back to back La Liga Competition win for them. Do you also see it that way? The arrival of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick would bring a whole lotta depth to that attacking squad and I feel like it's cool to see that going.

He had his chance but he couldn't get shit done, so it's okay if he decides to leave and for another club. From.your text, I noticed you're not informed about his move outta Real Madrid and how Carlo Ancellotti tried to sign him. He has already made his decision and should be in Qater already. It'll be wrong of Real Madrid to begin contract terms of him to stay in the club. His stay with affect a whole lotta.

About IIkay Gundogan, he should maintain his place and say no to whatever deal that comes from other leagues and clubs, he definitely has a whole lot to add to these Barcelona side.

I have heared, he has already made a contract with a club from Qatar. Every news outlet was publishing this news. I don’t know the details of this but I believe he should get paid very handsomely if he is actually going to Qatar. I also think he has made the right decision. At this stage of his career, it is better for him to not sit on the bench for Real Madrid for a whole season and look for as much money as he can get right after he has performed decently with Real Madrid. I would actually be happy if he had already made the decision to go to Qatar. With Mbappé arriving at Real Madrid, he will barely have any chance to play at Real Madrid.

I think this is also a risk for a team where important players playing for their country certainly cannot be denied, let alone prohibited, because there are also many important and core players in various teams who still play for their country in the UEFA Euro national competition, I am sure that İlkay Gündoğan can maintain his stamina before the league starts and will play with Barcelona in a fit condition. I think the German coach will also rotate the players to play so that İlkay Gündoğan can still have the opportunity to rest.

So I think Barcelona will not be worried about İlkay Gündoğan because they also probably want İlkay Gündoğan to get a lot of new experience in this year's UEFA Euro competition, at least he can hone his playing skills rather than not defending his country at all. Of course, many players choose to go on holiday when Domestic league competitions are on holiday, so there is no opportunity to hone his skills and this is where İlkay Gündoğan has a lot of playing time for his country so he can hone his skills before playing in Laliga to play for Barcelona in the new season. 

Mbappe's statistics are also very good, but these statistics do not seem very valuable since Mbappe performs in the French league. Messi and Ronaldo made these statistics during La Liga's most competitive periods. In my opinion, they are by far two of the three best football players in the world. The other is Pele. I don't think there will be a ranking among these, they are all the best in the world. It's time for a challenge for Mbappe. I hope he has a good career at Real Madrid.

You pointed the main point. I mean that Barcelona is not good enough to compete with Real Madrid for the title with the team they have now, and barcelona still lacks of good players in some positions. Nico William should move to Barcelona. This coming season might be an easy one for Real Madrid. 

I'm still hoping Barcelona recovers from their bad situations as soon as possible, then gives them enough time to rebuild the club. As long as Yamal is able to convince Nico to join Barcelona,. 

In the end, Barcelona will be equal to the real Madrid after they will be successfull recruiting william from bilbao. 

Many people will not know what Real Midred coach brought to Real Midred in this season, because Mbappe is a player every coach want to have in their team but those that don't know the value will never wish to have Mbappe in their team. I believed, Mbappe will definitely going to make Real Midred coach and fans happy, because what he need to display well in the team are there already, because Real Midred have good goalkeeper, defenders and midfielders which it will allow Mbappe to flow well next season. Before Mbappe will spend the season messi and Ronaldo has spend in football, I think Mbappe will top those players, because he is very young to achieve good result that will make people to rate him among the top professional in the whole world.

There is little chance that Real Madrid will not be able to dominate La Liga, their good play with quality players and it can be said to be superior to other teams means that Real Madrid has a greater chance of being able to dominate La Liga, even I think Barcelona, ​​who is their rival, can defeated easily, what's more Barcelona is of course currently in a very unfavorable situation and this is a good opportunity for other teams including Real Madrid who definitely have very good performance and good quality. With the Champions League, even though they have a big chance in the Champions League, that doesn't mean they can't be beaten, because even with the previous matches in the Champions League, there was a team that could even match Real Madrid.

I doubt that Mbappe can achieve a very good career on par with Ronaldo and Messi. Even though Mbappe is a player whose brilliant talent has been seen, it will not be easy for him to become a player like Ronaldo and Messi. but I think Mbappe will definitely make his name well remembered at Real Madrid by showcasing his talents in La Liga and in the Champions League because this is an opportunity for him to achieve what he has not achieved before. His joining Real Madrid is also a stroke of luck. .

As professional players they will definitely work together, especially Mbappe who is pursuing his career Of course he will try his best and get a good position in the team, what I'm worried about is that Mbappe is under pressure and burden so it's difficult to adapt we have seen many cases like this right well, usually when players are under pressure, coaches and senior players can take a role.

As a young player, Mbappe has more enthusiasm to compete and pursue whatever he targets, just look when he was injured it didn't take long he has the desire to recover quickly and return to fighting like he did with France in the last match. At Real Madrid I have no doubt, Mbappe has great colleagues especially in midfield and attack lines. I can say Real Madrid is the most complete squad for next season compared to any team.

Both Cancelo and Felix expressed their desire to continue playing for Barcelona. The bleak financial situation prevented Barcelona from buying Cancelo and Felix outright. Barcelona needs to approve spending at least 90 million euros if they want to own both Felix and Cancelo. 90 million euros is beyond Barcelona's ability at present, and their salary is also a big barrier.

And up to now, when Xavi has been fired, and his replacement is Hansi Flick, the future of the duo of Portuguese players has not been confirmed in the hands of this new coach. It's no secret that Cancelo and Felix are two of the most talented players in their positions. However, they have not met the requirements for defensive support. In addition, Cancelo and Joao Felix have not shown their full qualities regularly in each match. This makes me suspect Hansi Flick will not want to keep them. And perhaps, if it were a priority choice, the Camp Nou home team would most likely decide to buy Cancelo outright, instead of Felix. Because anyway, the price Barcelona paid to get Cancelo was something they could accept.

The two Portuguese players are worth keeping, as neither of them has good prospects if they return to their respective parent clubs. Barcelona reportedly made a statement on the official website and said goodbye to Felix and Cancelo, then they deleted it again because they intended to extend their loan period.

In the midst of an uncertain situation regarding finances, things like that are perhaps understandable, Hansi Flick seems to be making Felix and Cancelo their mainstays next season, so Barcelona management has changed their mind. I think Felix and Cancelo are worth keeping, of course they will have problems if they part with the Portuguese duo.

Meanwhile, Hansi Flick must treat the two players fairly if they both survive, of course by giving them decent playing minutes, so that both of them can find their best game again. Last season Felix and Cancelo performed quite well, if both of them were let go by Hansi Flick, it would be a real headache to find new loan players.
