Sevilla team is relatively ahead of other teams in terms of performance. I would think that Sevilla do not have the type of players that PSG have, yet this team is still able to outshine PSG.

Basically Sevilla always play in the Champions League every season, but Sevilla always finishes third in the final group stage and that makes Sevilla again and again play in the Europa League in the knockout phase. So yes, I personally don't care about Sevilla current condition, because even though Sevilla is in a difficult and bad situation. But still, Sevilla will always have a chance to qualify for the round of 16 or maybe, will return to the Europa League.

It seems that this is indeed a very good decision for Manchester United to bring in a player like Amrabat to strengthen the team's midfield. Facing strong teams like Bayern Munich in the group will be a good test for Manchester United, and Amrabat could be a disturbing element in the opponent's defense in midfield. However, it is also important to remember that a player's role in a team does not only depend on the individual, but also on the teamwork as a whole. Manchester United will need to adapt quickly to these new players and create the ability to play together as a solid unit. Hopefully Amrabat and the other recruits can make a positive contribution and help Manchester United achieve success at a high level of competition.

You shall not feel worried about that, madrid sees napoli as the strongest opponent in the group. Napoli and real madrid have the biggest chance to go to the play off stage. Braga and union berlin may not be strong enough compared with napoli and madrid yet these clubs need still to be careful with it. The chance owned by madrid and napoli are very big. Sevilla looks very weak. Arsenal was lucky enough to be in the same group with sevilla. You must also see if sevilla got zero points in la liga.
Sevilla is not as strong as before. Many players are leaving from the club. Mendilibar has no lots of choice to build a proper squad. Arsenal can pass the group stage easily as long as it will always consistently winning the game.
Arsenal's group was not as hard as you think. The gunner has a bigger chance to be on the top of group classement.

They are indeed selling their best talents, but that has nothing to do with what they actually want, but with what they must do. They would have never been able to sign Haaland if they didn't grant him the possibility to leave the club for a fixed 70 million. But this is how it is for second tier clubs on the international stages. They will have to let go most of their best players and they have to perfect the recruiting game, which they did quite well in the past.

Even Tuchel said Drtmound talked about Group F and he said Dortmund is not going to have easy games in the grouping stage against Newcastle, PSG, and Ac Milan.
While his team Bayern Munich got a better situation they are in the same group as Galatasaray, Copenhagen, and Manchester United.

The current conditions of Manchester United and Bayern Munich are not much different because both of them are playing less promisingly, even though Bayern Munich successfully won their opening two matches. But I agree that Bayern Munich's chances of winning the group are very big because the Bundesliga giant had not missed playing in the Champions League in the previous few seasons and Manchester United had only just returned after not qualifying for the Champions League last time. Bayern Munich also has a very dangerous striker at the moment and he is a former EPL player (Harry Kane) and his ability to score goals is extraordinary.

Manchester United have not yet got the striker that Erik Ten Hak wants and although they currently have Rasmus Hojlund but so far he has not made his debut because he is still injured. Defense is also still quite problematic for Erik Ten Hak so Bayern Munich's chances of go out as group champions are much greater.

If I remember correctly, aren`t Sevilla in financial trouble? I remember, if I`m not mistaken, that he won the cup but soon after he made a lot of sales to cover his debts, clearly I don`t remember very well but if it`s true, will they make it through the group stage?

We`ll see

Manchester United who had won the competition European Cup in three different occasions will be playing in the competition once again this season and without taking anything away from the Red Devils, I don't think they're gonna make it to the final of the competition this season.
They are in the in a group A alongside Bayern Munich, Galatasaray and Copenhagen which I think is a fair group for them to progress to the knockout stages from but I'll be very surprised to see them make it to the semi finals of the competition this season.

Even though Manchester United is getting enough of the ammunition they want, this doesn't necessarily mean their performance will be as good as you expect. At least we have to see it in domestic league matches if we want to measure the ability of the Manchester United squad now. Amrabat is a good midfielder and if he can adapt more quickly it will be even better for the team. But I have to differ with you this time and I will support Bayern Munich as group winners because they are much more organized since last season and it has been proven that the arrival of a former EPL top scorer in their squad makes Bayern Munich's attack line more dangerous.

City has been getting even better replacement for paqueta. I didn't agree if city would be buying him with non sense price. Im very happ since city was considered doku as a great replacement for him. Doku has become city's player now.
There's no need to hope him come to the city. Paqueta is still being investigated by FA now. The deal already collapse since city already got doku.

Paqueta will never move to the manchester city. The transfer season is already closed and paqueta will remain on westham. Westham really needs him right now. The hammer didn't want to sell their player right away when a big club came with an offer.
Westham has a very good integrity to sell the player that must be sold by the club. Doku is gonna help city in defending its UCL trophy this season.

I think Man City does not need to do this because even though they failed to get Lucas Paqueta, currently the performance of Man City players is quite good and Guardiola just needs to provide a new strategy to improve the quality of the match much better because in that match Man City was not perfect and Haaland, as a mainstay player, has lost his performance a little, so Man City actually not need new players anymore, he just needs to focus on the existing players and improve the quality of his play.

Manchester City have already offered West Ham 100 million plus euros to sign Lucas Paqueta, but West Ham rejected Lucas Paqueta's offer of 100 million euros. Maybe West Ham demanded more money from Manchester City to let Lucas Paqueta go. Lucas Paqueta might be the best signing for Manchester City right now as Manchester City are missing some players. The transfer market will close shortly so if Manchester City want to complete the deal with Lucas Paqueta they will have to make a decision very quickly as once the transfer window closes they will have no option to sign any new players to their club.

Im frustrated by Napoli's chances this time. Why? Madrid is in their group. Im not ignoring Union Berlin and Braga, but this is about Real Madrid. Last season, Napoli reached the quarterfinals but lost to Milan. I wonder if they can handle Madrid mentally. While everyone is talking about how tough Group F is because PSG and Manchester United play better clubs and Bayern Munich, Im focused on Napoli. This time, what will happen? However, Napoli's group isnt as insane as Arsenal's because they face Sevilla.

I don't see Manchester United struggling to qualify from their group because the teams in that group are teams that Manchester United could easily beat, except they aren't ready for the season.Ten Hag knows quite well that with the champions league approaching,he needs more squad depth to be able to compete for the Tittle,and that is why he went into the transfer window to make some late signings that he thinks are capable of making them tittle contenders for the league.If it is true that he was able to secure the signature of Amrabat,then I can say that they wouldnt have any problem defensively judging from the players ability to cover at the back.
I already chose Manchester United and Bayern to be able to qualify from that group,because apart from Bayern,Galatasary and Copenhagen shouldn't be able to stop them.

True, but it's still in the early season. You can't be sure whether napoli will keep its performance stable. This season will be so different compared to the last season. napoli might be dominated the league, but it has worst performance at the end of season.
Napoli lost in the quarter final against serie a team as well. The performance has been dropping so hard when it comes to the end of the season. Let's wait till the middle of season.
We are taking a conclusion while napoli was just played three matches. Wait till the middle of season.

There's no chance in the strategy. Spalletti was very often in using 3-4-4 strategy, while rudi was only adapting it as well. Rudi used also same strategy as spalletti. He was smart enough to keep use the same strategy instead of changing it that will be also affecting the gameplay of player.
Osimhen was always on the centre forward position. The only difference if there was no minjae in the defensive line of napoli.

While significant changes were not seen in Napoli in the two matches at the start of this season, there is a possibility that Napoli will remain strong this season so the other three teams in group C have to be really wary of Napoli, although I am also more optimistic about Real Madrid who are in in the same group as Napoli in the Champions League this season.

Napoli will indeed still adopt the previous method to continue to perform well in every league they participate in this season because the mission is still the same, namely to win the Serie A title again and also the title in the Champions League even though this title is a very difficult thing for Napoli because In general, in the Champions League, all teams always work hard to get it.

Manchester United can to our surprise finish in that group in the first position, they have successfully been able to add some quality and very experienced players to the team just before the transfer window closed. A Player like Amrabat is a good fix for Manchester United midfield problems that has shown this season, and he can make all the difference for Manchester United in big games as we saw him do for Morocco in the world cup. Against Bayern Munich and other teams in the group, Amrabat can be a defensive block for Manchester United in their midfield.

For starters, the Newcastle you're seeing now isn't the same as the Newcastle of last season. This season I don't think they can make the top 4 in premier league as they did in the previous years so them progressing from the group stages is also another achievement I don't think they'll be able to achieve. Already their attention is divided with the premier league and the champions league so unless they crash out of the champions league early there's no guarantee they'll do well in the premier league. Lets look at their group, who can they defeat there, no one and those clubs aren't clubs of the premier league that they play often and know their game pattern, they're club outside the premier league and all did very well last champion league season. Experience will be a major factor in this games.


Napoli were lucky last season, they didn't deserve how far they went to some extent but last season was a good season for the Italians but they might be repeating same successful this season still that doesn't mean they won't be progression from the group stage. They have one of the luckiest draw because they only have to win their two other opponents to progress even if they lost to Real Madrid. Napoli keeping Victor Osimhen and Hvicha Kvaratshelia was surprising as I thought other top clubs would have gotten atleast one of the players. I hope this decision doesn't come back to bite Napoli as it would had been better to cash out huge sum of money on this players after they had a fantastic season last season. There's no guarantee they'll both be phenomenal this season but let's watch and see.

Napoli are still staying strong as you can see from their effort in the Serie A this season. Rudi Garcia is their new coach after Spalletti's leaving his job. People were wondering if there would be a significant change for Napoli in their playing style as well. However such thing hasn't happened.

Lucky them that Spalletti and Rudi Garcia are adopting a really similar system. Hence it wasn't difficult for the players to continue from the point they left. Apart from that the bond between the coach and players is another important factor for success. But for now there isn't any problem seemingly. I think Napoli will do great in the groups here too.
