After winning the world cup trophy with the Argentina national team, Messi next target is to win the Champions League trophy with PSG. PSG has a good squad to win this championship. The front line they currently have can be a threat to Bayern Munich.
Bringing home the Champions League trophy to France has been PSG dream for a long time. After forming a team with quality players, PSG opportunities are very open. Bayern Munich must be careful with the squad that PSG currently has, especially since the attack line filled with Messi, Mbappe and Neymar is very dangerous when in the opponent's defense area.

PSG may not have given France the Champions League trophy they wanted, and they have also consistently given up goals to Bayern Munich in their matches, but a lot has changed in the system since Messi joined. Players like Neymar and Mbappe are good players who were there before him, but Messi has done it before and still has the support to win it. I also believe that Messi is not the only player who is anticipating winning that championship, other players are as well especially now that he is back with the world cup to show his France fans and followers.

That's why pep was aiming for the UCL as the main target for city. City has been winning EPL so many times under him but city never won UCL. that proves that if there's a thing that has not yet achieved by chelsea.
City was never achieved the world club trophy too. Pep said that he wanna try to bring city to be a winner of UCL. This is the most difficult task to be achieved by pep.
As far as i know that even with the strong squad and it would not even able to take UCL. Remember when chelsea was beating city at the final of UCL. I think that's really disappointed for the all players of manchester city.

This sounds like a feasible theory, but in the CL it is quite difficult to 'brand' a team as being small; yeah, there are of course the bigger teams, with better quality players, bigger budgets, history, etc, these teams are usually amongst the favorites to win the trophy; but even the underdogs sometimes might spring up surprises, they might not go all the way to win the trophy, but they could upset some bigger teams along the way until they are eventually eliminated themselves.

Having said that, i second what you said, the draw somewhat favors City, both their own draw and that of other teams that can be considered contenders for the CL this season, but City can't take anything for granted, they have to put in their best at all times, the CL has proven to be that elusive title for them, and they can't keep their fans waiting for it much longer than this.

The only advantage that Paris Saint Germain has is that they are reinforced by players who have star titles, without meaning to belittle them I think that in terms of the game Bayern Munich is still better than Paris Sain Gemain, that is my current doubt about them . Indeed, at this time the performance shown by Bayern Munich has decreased slightly when compared to last season, even at the beginning of the season they had a little difficulty getting several negative results in their matches in the Bundesliga, but slowly they were able to get up and return to winning ways.

The defense of both teams doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment, but I tend to agree that PSG is still too difficult to get out of the pressure of big teams in its last few seasons in the Champions League. But I don't know, this season is expected to be different where PSG managed to answer those doubts by qualifying for the quarter-finals.

PSG has quite good strength in the midfield, it is comparable to the defense and the attackers. While PSG's weakness is that they lack stability in midfield, so that is the problem.

I know the fact that some years back Paris Saint Germany came so close to winning the Champions League but lost the Champions League to Bayern Munich with a one to nil loss. I have that to recall already but the current trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are like nukes , you don't want to face such a brilliant trio after the impressive world Cup they all had I expect them.to get to the finals, yes they are knocking and sending bayern munich home. I am saying for the second time again.
Manchester City are still on my mind, Pep Guardiola will miss out on the Premier League but grab the Champions League by the balls he will not let go.

it will indeed be difficult to predict the matches between Munich and PSG. PSG with the current squad is indeed the favorite to get to the final. but the opponent in the top 16 at the moment is Munich, it is not easy for them to overthrow with a good game like when they faced the Ligue 1 team.
this requires strategy and tactic coaches to be able to overthrow Munich. some analysts believe PSG's advantage is due to Munich losing their best goalkeeper through injury. but it may not affect Munich.

PSG squad as always been good in every season, but I think with the arrival of Messi and Neymar ,this year is a special season for them though I don't see them as a winner of the group stage yet, because Bayern Munich is the most formidable Champion league rival after Real Madrid. in the last five years champion league analysis, the winner of the title is determined by the eliminator of bayern Munich or real Madrid or the winners of this Eliminators. For that I see the match between PSG and Bayern Munich to be unpredictable.

Every effort will be made by these two teams to clinch the much coveted Champions League trophy. But in fact their journey was not as smooth as that even though they have team strength that is above the average of other teams. Especially Paris Saint Germain, they have spent a lot of money for them to win the title in the Champions League, but for so many years they have tried until now it has not brought them what they want. To be honest, even this season, I still doubt them to win this season.

Yes, Guardiola in Bavaria was extremely unsuccessful. He took on a top team and ended up being beaten consecutively by Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético in the Champions League over the course of three years. Pretty ironic when you consider that he came to Bayern from La Liga and that under other coaches (before Guardiola and after) Bayern consistently beat Barcelona. The fact that he won the Bundesliga is not worth mentioning - even I would have won it being the head coach of Bayern.

Pep Guardiola almost 5 years with Manchester City and always failed to give Champion League trophy, not only with Manchester City but also Pep Guardiola failed with Champion League trophy when three years becoming Bayern Munich manager. Current player composition, Manchester City have solid player and this season after arriving Erling Haaland I don't sure with Manchester City get Champion League tittle.

Depending what team face for Manchester City except have against with Real Madrid seems has potential can lead to final, but at early stage if can win against Leipzig on 16 round seems potential this season with first Champion League trophy.

PSG has one of the best attacking lineups in Europe at the moment which is even more dangerous than City's attack. The problem of PSG is their defense, same issue Manchester City are facing this season. Manchester city's defense is also not solid this season and playing against PSG's attacking trio they will have to be at their best performance to hold down PSG when they attack so I am expecting a really tough game against in this fixture.

The truth is that Chelsea is going through a very difficult time, maybe we could already be talking about a crisis, they are on the verge of going down a lot, I don't know, but at one point CR7 asked to be taken there, will this then be Karma on behalf of the team ? CR7 is a player who could have contributed a lot in his matches, but sometimes the best thing is what happens, I don't know how he will do it, but they have a hard and difficult job to get ahead, it is not easy, the euiqops are every time much better and the team that does badly here is very unlikely that things can go well for them, if we oppose to see, what they are doing is that the team is more in crisis if they start to calculate how they can promote more quickly, I will concentrate on the bass, and the bases are to win everything from now on.


Football is one of the most beautiful things in the world, when everyone thought that the teams that won or time would always maintain their hegemony, that is no longer the case, on the other hand, PSG and City are one of the most famous teams that they currently have, that is why the teams now also seek to have the most famous players, in the case of PSG they have 3 great stars, and City have one of the most emblematic players like Haaland, that is something that any team would like to have, that's why now the PL is so famous, they have very good players, on the other hand in this new transfer window they have a good opportunity to acquire good chips.

Without a doubt. The match of PSG with Bayern will be watched by the entire world. Neymar and the two best forwards of the World Cup playing together. We sometimes thought PSG line-up is too good to other European clubs, but the gambling market does not have a lot of confidence. Bayern and PSG are nearly identical.

However, I anticipate PSG to prevail here. Messi wants more to establish his status as the best player of the world, while Mbappe and Neymar are motivated by their World Cup failures. Bayern, on the other hand, also wants to win and has more experience in Europe.

The matchup between Liverpool and Real is the second-best. Despite the fact that Liverpool is not performing at its best at the beginning of the year, I will not rule them out, particularly if they play at Anfield. It is gonna be a fun match.

Without belittling Bayern Munich, I also agree that PSG is expected to make it to the quarter-finals this season. I didn't expect Bayern Munich to be as strong in the group stages, but I expected it to change a lot in the round of 16 especially because PSG are the opponents. It's up to others how to expect Bayern Munich to beat PSG, but I'd rather expect Paris to go to the quarter-final.

I consider the current PSG trio to be one of the most dangerous forward trio. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are in good form so far despite not having played together in a post-World Cup match. But anything can happen, but PSG must deserve to be in a good place this season.

At least, Manchester City have opponents who are not too tough for them to overthrow in the round of 16 later. despite playing away at RB Leipzig in the first leg, it's not a big problem for Pep Guardiola's squad to overthrow their opponent later. I'm sure they will qualify for the next round and meet stronger opponents in the quarter-finals. after all, this is what keeps Pep Guardiola as City coach because he has a new project with Haaland to realize the club's dream of winning the Champions League trophy this season.

The PSG vs Bayern match, is a premature final match and whoever wins this battle will be one of the candidates who will advance to the final round. to be honest, I really like the two teams that will meet in the round of 16 later. Unfortunately, this fight should have been the final. IMO, if I have to compare them, PSG has a 60% chance of victory and Bayern has a 40% chance of victory.

but in fact, we will know the determination of the result when the Champions League has restarted.

Compares all players and their performances, PSG and Bayern are very similar. PSG even have a little bit score on paper but in history, PSG are worse than Bayern in Champions League.

Bayern look to have a better defense system but they lost Neuer from an injury. PSG have their best players for defense but their defense system has never been good enough in Champions League.

I think PSG can do something to win Champions League in this season with great performance of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe but their weak defense can be something be exploited by Bayern. PSG must show a stronger ability to defend their goalkeeper in order to win Champions League. First to beat Bayern and farther to big other strong clubs in Europe.

Since becoming a Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola has never presented the Champions League trophy to the Etihad stadium. If you look at the depth of the players now it seems that it will be a strong candidate for the championship this season. Now Man City has one of the best strikers in the world, Erling Halaand, in whose regular league he (Halaand) almost always scores goals in every game, so that will be a successor for Man City in going through the UCL round this season.

Predictably, at this time it is possible for Manchester City to reach the Champions League final, but of the four big teams you mentioned apart from Manchester City, they have only fallen for one of them. For example between Bayern Munich and PSG (one of them) and between Liverpool and Real Madrid (one of them).

This means that there are still two big teams that will qualify for the next round and if one of them meets Manchester City, everyone will see a very interesting match and that's where everyone will see the capabilities of Manchester City.
