We never know, they haven't even decided who will be the new coach. however, rumors of Galtier's dismissal have been circulating and have been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano. I'm pretty sure if Mbappe will stay with PSG, at least we'll still see him wearing a PSG shirt next season. now, Nagelsmann is the strongest candidate as their new coach. it is even reported that there has been no contract agreement with PSG, but his agent is already in Paris to have a serious meeting with the club.

If in the end there is a deal, I'm pretty sure if he can bring PSG much better than Galtier. but there is one problem, can Nagelsmann have full control in the dressing room. if so, I am optimistic that PSG will be able to bounce back. regarding players, they can bring in anyone after all PSG has abundant finances. The problem is, so far no coach has been able to bring PSG to lift the Champions League trophy. maybe with Nagelsmann and a series of new players brought in, PSG's lucky season will come. but by the way, this is just a personal opinion, even the league competition just ended. so, we'll see how it turns out later.

Nagelsmann will most probably be their next manager and that has a good side and a bad side. The good side is that he is a manager who finds the amazing talent in places nobody looks, with some of their big names are gone (and excepting to see Neymar leave too) I would guess that a manager like Nagelsmann who will build a great team could actually be the thing they are looking for, he will be perfect fit for them in the first 3 months or so.

However, he is not a tactical genius which means that he is not going to be all that great after like 6 months, when all the transfers are done and its the dog days of the year, he is not going to be able to adjust his system to whatever team needs and that's when they will realize it wasn't a great idea. He is the anti-ancelotti, ancelotti takes a team that's ready to its peak ever possible unlike anyone else, but doesn't usually build it himself.

In fact, football fans are really waiting to see which season the main objective of PSG team will be fulfilled. That is, PSG's main objective is to secure the Champions League title, which the team has repeatedly failed to do every season. Looking forward to seeing how the team shapes up in the offseason.

But lacking tactical understanding doesn't seem to be the case for Nagelsmann, does it? He turned two teams (Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig) into two great competitors in the Bundesliga. He had the financial support from the club owners and then turned the players into a unit that played very intensive soccer and from my understanding there was lots of tactic involved. When he went from Hoffenheim to RB Leipzig it was easily recognizable that Nagelsmann was the new coach because RB Leipzig's tactic had the same handwriting as that of Hoffenheim. I wouldn't say he lacks high level tactical understanding.

But it is still the same problem that he would be developing a team that can win Ligue 1 without getting tested by the best European top teams The risk is that as a coach it is difficult to tell where the team stands until they finally are up against one of those high calibre teams in the Champions League. The feedback is weak within the league itself.

Congratulations to Manchester City for winning the Champions League final and winning three trophies in one season.

Even though the bet I made failed, at least I'm satisfied and happy to see Manchester City win the match in 1x2 thanks to Rodri's goal in the 68th minute.
At first I noticed that the two teams might most likely finish with a draw and would go to penalties so that it would make it easier for Manchester City to win but in reality they won in the second half.

This is the first time I have suffered a big enough defeat when betting on a Manchester City match.

I'm not sure why people find it difficult to believe the truth; the city's fans have already confirmed the victory over Inter Milan, but some supporters have publicly announced that Pep Guardiola will not return to Etihad Stadium irrespective of whether he has won the treble, which has been his main focus all season. Inter was a difficult opponent for City to overcome; Lautaro Martinez and Demarco attempted to pin City but were unsuccessful. Rodri's long-range score from the penalty spot gave him the lead, and the game changed immediately. The UCL championship returns to the trending English club, Manchester City, as Inter Milan maintains the pressure until the final minute. Manchester City has avoided another setback with the injuries to Kelvin De Bruyne and Phil Foden.

Pep Guardiola has led Manchester City to win 3 trophies this season and the treble title is difficult for several other teams to get, so it is very unlikely that Pep Guardiola will leave the Etihad Stadium.
With Manchester City's biggest achievement this season, I'm sure Pep Guardiola will be a well-deserved coach for Manchester City, so that next season there is still a big possibility that Manchester City will bring back several titles.
Rodri became the hero in yesterday's final because thanks to his shot Manchester City were able to have and maintain their advantage until the match was over.

Manchester City were obviously at the best performance level this season, they found the missing piece in Haaland and came back stronger this time to conquer Europe. After defeating Real Madrid I had the feeling they had cleared the last hurdle that could stop them from achieving their dreams and they did it in master class. Congratulations to Guardiola and the entire City team and staff, they deserved to be champions.

Yes, that's right, Man City did deserve it. But there is something interesting that I got from Man City's journey so that it can become one of the most powerful teams in Europe at the moment, namely the owner of Man City. I was amazed to see that Syekh Mansyur believed in the team's process, since he was acquired and Roberto Mancini arrived it took three years to win the EPL.
This was also done when Pep Guardiola came who was projected to win the UCL, failing once in the final did not get Guardiola fired, and it took four seasons for Guardiola to win the UCL Champion.

This is in contrast to other rich clubs, which always have high targets but never believe in the process, what they want is instantaneous, 1-2 failed seasons the coach is automatically fired.

This is the greatness of the Man City squad this season, even though Kevin De Bruyne is injured and must be replaced. but that's Manchester City, there is no shortage of substitutes with the same ability, they played consistently to lock in victory until the end of the game.

Manchester City doesn’t wholly depend on the abilities of a single player and that’s why De Bruyne could be missing in an important game like the Champions League finals and the game is still won by them. There are very competent players amongst the substitutes that could replace the starting eleven any time. That’s truly the greatness of Manchester City.

Despite having a hard time in the quest for goals in the finals against Inter Milan, they were consistent and confident in their attacks. And with the way Inter Milan played, the game could have gone either way. But congratulations to Man City on their well deserved win.

I was very much disappointed with Lukaku... I think his career is over... He was terrible at Chelsea, he didn't perform well at the last World Cup either... In yesterday's very important match, he missed several chances... I am sure if Dzeko had had the strength to play the match to the end, he would not have missed an opportunity to score... It's a shame that Inter started to create such good moments only after conceding a goal...

Lukaku was not at his best form against Manchester City last night, coming in to replace Eden Dzeko I expected him to make much impact but he managed just two or less shots on goal and also block an attempt headed down towards goal. Inter Milan played really well, I feel if Lukaku had made an impact they would gave gotten a goal at least.

Lukaku got the reaction time of a sloth, it was a very big time for him coming on the pitch from the bench to play a final, what a chance to prove yourself, but he did nothing except blocking a goal and shooting far off target.

Well, after the end of UEFA Champions League of this year 2022/2023 and it wasn’t the best season but we saw some good game to be fair and discovered good new players. Also the good play by Manchester City and could win with the highest expectation. Now it’s period of transfers we already saw some big exchanges and big players leaving Europe and won’t be able to participate in this competition.
In my opinion we will see Real Madrid challenging Barcelona again the next edition of 2023/2024, what’s your expectations for next season?

No one is to blame when it comes to playing football, unwanted things can happen. matches in 90 minutes are very draining and emotional. Even though Lukaku made a blunder because he accidentally reflected the ball, Lukaku tried his best and tried to score in this match. Luckily, Anderson played very epic, if he wasn't in the best performance, maybe he had two goals for Inter Milan. So it's a shame that many blasphemed and blamed Lukaku, in my opinion it was an accident, apart from that, Ederson did well in the final.

Perhaps, the game might have gone a different way for Manchester City if De Bruyne didn’t go off during the first half of the game. He’s a very talented player and he would have made a difference if not much. Apparently, they didn’t need him as they still went on to win the game without him playing.

This is the greatness of the Man City squad this season, even though Kevin De Bruyne is injured and must be replaced. but that's Manchester City, there is no shortage of substitutes with the same ability, they played consistently to lock in victory until the end of the game.

Yeah, it was a very good season for them, not only did they win the champions league but the premier league as well as the FA cup. That's some season for them and with that, its Pep everywhere now.
Though they had a great season, there champions league final wasn't one where they showed there best performance. They were very cautious but, that was just to ensure they don't male far too much mistakes that could mean danger for the team. Definitely what they should have done and did do but, it made Inter Milan feel as though they had a chance. It was an interesting game non the less and they had a lot to show for there season.

Manchester City definitely deserved this trophy. I think Simone Inzaghi played this match with the wrong tactic. It was impossible for them to play defensively for 90 minutes against Manchester City. As a matter of fact, their energy started to decrease after the 60th minute. I wish Simone Inzaghi had chosen to play a more courageous football. Maybe then they could beat Manchester City. Frankly, it would be the choice of ordinary people to try to stop Manchester City by playing only defense. Simone Iinzaghi disappointed me with this choice. He should have studied his class better.

The defense was actually a very good tactics. He just lacked the players for it. If he had two very fast wingers then it would have worked better. Inter Milan is not a team that normally has the most of possessions. Trust me, you can't play an attacking football with Man City on their day and win. Especially a team like Inter that is not used to that kind of football.
The game would have been way easier for Man City if Inter had attacked bmore because that would have left a lot of spaces for Man City to attack. Aside the fact that City were the better team, Inter were kind of unlucky because if luck was on their side, the should have scored at least one of those chances they got, especially the Oscar's double header.

I thought Lukaku would be on the pitch from the start. but it turns out that Inter benched him with a not so good health statement. despite losing but Inter has done well. they compete with good quality game. even though in the first half they were more likely to defend because of attacks from Man City, but after the second half Inter managed to wake up with a different strategy that was more daring to come out. because we can see that Man City is also careful when designing an attack.

The record of not losing in the Champions League this season is also an extraordinary thing shown by the Man City club thanks to an extraordinary coach, namely Pep Guardiola. And now they have won a treble trophy this season. And once again Pep Guardiola made history on one of the teams he coached.

Well Guardiola should be at Man City longer because it is possible that in the coming season Man City will continue to get many trophies with him.

This can be strengthened by the squad they have this season which is quite strong. I think that Pep Guardiola next season will also offer many trophies for Manchester City. He is a pretty great coach figure in the current era and he was even able to make quite an extraordinary history in the EPL this season with Manchester City.

One of the interesting achievements is that they have never lost every match they have played in the champions league. They were able to beat Real Madrid with a big score and that has shown their strength is strong enough for next season.

Correct. And if they remain consistent until next season with their current performance then they might also get the UCL trophy next season. Even Man City is currently hunting for other potential players they want to add to their squad. And this will make Pep Guardiola even happier to be there. because he is also provided with the great players he really needs to maximize every strategy he makes.

Manchester City have amazing performance and they got good results this season in both the premier league and the champions league even against the strongest teams like Real Madrid with many superstar players and a coach like Ancelotti they proved that they have enough power for it.
But I'm wondering how they want to defend the title next season against teams like Real Madrid when they get even stronger players.

In my opinion, Inter Milan played relatively relaxed in the first half, they even played more consistently in balancing the resistance from Manchester City. However, in the second half, Manchester City started a more aggressive game scheme and it was seen from the several efforts they made in building attacks that were quite good, even some At times, their kicks had threatened the Inter Milan goal. Apart from that, I think that Lukaku, who was played late in this match, was a mistake in the tactics set up by Simone Inzaghi in this final.

Manchester City efforts to beat Inter Milan were quite difficult because they had to work hard from the early minutes and that was evident in terms of their game. But in the end they are the best and deserve the ucl trophy after their impressive performances from every game they played. 1 ucl trophy has graced manchester city cupboard i think they will repeat it next season.

Lukaku did two things wrong in the match. One was not even entirely his fault. One was the chance he missed and the other was when he blocked Oscar Dimarco's header. What more do you expect of him.
Dzeko was non existent in that match before the injury so there was no guarantee that he would have been better.
Before you miss chances you would have been involved in the game. Dzeko didn't miss any because he wasn't involved.
You don't judge how a player performed by how many chances he missed. L. Martinez missed a couple of chances, does that mean he played badly?
Inter were a little bit unlucky, plus Man City was really good in defense too. Inter player well but the day just went to Manchester City.

In case of Lukaku blocking the ball from entering the net, I think it wasn't his fault this mistake can happen to anyone. Just that Lukaku was not much lucky in yesterday's match. What are the problems Inter Milan players have yesterday was that they were playing with tension which made them to make.

Judging from his condition in yesterday's match, I don't think that they really played too big a defensive scheme because in this case they were also more daring in pursuing and compensating for the game played by Manchester City.
One thing I regret in this case for Inzaghi, he was late in several substitutions because he still thought he could hold Manchester for 90 minutes but in the end they had to be conceded by Rodri's goal kill the game which made them change strategy by entering players quickly but that I think a little too late.
