He had a fundamental reason when last season he failed to stabilize Bayern Munich, it was because of the short time he got. Who would have thought that Bayern Munich would sack Nagelsmann at that point? Da. Most of us were shocked when we heard that Bayern Munich had terminated their partnership with Nagelsmann, whereas at that time they had a big Champions League match coming up and it was going to determine whether they could go all the way or not. And they ended up having to stop.
Now the situation is much different because he's had plenty of time to adapt, and some of the players did recommend him.

Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez were two of Manchester City's key players. However, filling the gap between these two players will not be too difficult for Guardiola. Because Manchester City's bench team is very strong. They have Grealish, Foden and Alvarez alongside Haaland in their forward line. Everyone is capable of excellent performance. Manchester City's midfield is also very strong. Unless Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne suffer injuries at the same time, Manchester City's midfield will remain stable. However, Manchester City will face big problems after these two players get injured simultaneously. Because Guardiola has not yet included a suitable replacement for Gundogan in the squad.



Tuchel could not stabilize the Bayern Munich team last season. Bayern Munich were very lucky so they were able to secure the title. But I won't give this credit to Tuchel.
However, the Munich team managed to bring Harry Kane to the team in the end. And now I think they are a perfect team. I don't see any weakness in this team yet. Next season's Champions League is expected to be more crowded.

I think Munich may have found suitable replacement for Lewandowski, you know both Lewandowski and Harry Kane are good scorers. They have good enough ability to score lot of goals, however before that Kane must have to adapt to the Munich squad and I think it is not something difficult for him. Because you know Thomas Tuchel is recreating his match strategy, so maybe Kane can quickly adapt himself to the players of the Munich team.

The strongest team in the Bundesliga is Munich. With such a squad, Munich may not have much trouble winning the Bundesliga title. At the same time, Munich's main target will be the Champions League. Harry Kane is most likely to win both these titles. The Munich team can be considered as the most favorite for the Champions League title next season. But everything still depends on Thomas Tuchel's match strategy.

What a performance from Slovan Bratislava had to be better. Because they were not able to score in the match. The one call that is beside their name was an own goal. I am not saying that they did not do anything in that match. In fact, they had a better percentage of possession in that match. But they were not able to do anything with that. It was a really incredible start in this match. In the starting 15 minutes, we saw three goals.

Anyway, this is the first leg. Let’s see if they can perform better in the second leg. Both the strikers from Haifa actually performed really well. Got two important goals to get their team to win the match.

"Mbappe's request"...

If a player refuses to stay then guess what options a club has to make the player stay for longer without the play explicitly requesting it - they pay him more money. He doesn't have to ask for more money, he just says that he is about to leave. Then PSG said hey wait, what about we pay you a fortune on top of the fortune you are already getting? Then the player says well, let me think for a second, yes I am staying.

This is not about money needed, it is about money wanted. Mbappe takes whatever he can get even when it costs him some of his reputation.

I think quite a lot of people have the same hope with the presence of Harry Kane at Bayern Munich and the most important thing is that Harry Kane can win his first trophy in his football career later. I understand adaptation and chemistry will still be things that must be prioritized, especially Harry Kane is in a new environment and maybe he only knows a few names in the Bayern Munich squad. The adaptation process, in my opinion, will not be as difficult as you think because Harry Kane is a top striker and as long as he is in a big team with an even squad, of course what he wants will be achieved.

It is not our habit to start the season so early. That's why Galatasaray looked so bad in the Zalgiris games. But we played a better game against Olimpija. Looking at the two games, we can say that the team's performance is getting better day by day. When Icardi and Zaha get fit and take their places in the team, we will be better offensively. I would also like to remind you that Lucas Torreira didn't play in the game against Olimpija. Because he didn't play, the team defense had a hard time. I am sure we will become a better team with time. Because we have signed some very good players this summer. I believe we will qualify for the Champions League group stage.

I agree with you on the opinion that Tottenham wouldn’t forget Harry Kane in a hurry. He has been extremely loyal to the club and has helped the club the best he could. He would surely be missed.
With his exit at Spurs, he would make a great addition to the team at Bayern Munich. Perhaps, the feats and results he couldn’t get at Spurs would now be gotten at Bayern. He’s a player with a lot of experience under his belt and that experience would be utmost useful at his new club. With Kane amongst the team, does Bayern has what it takes to go ahead to win the champions league trophy? I guess that remains to be seen.

I think the deal between Bayern Munich and Tottenham of Harry kane is done with information I got from Fabrizio Romano,  it is so nice Bayern Munich Tuchel is able to get this done for the club.  Bayern Munich struggled in their games in Bundesliga and champions league last season because their was no striker,  but with Harry kane Bayern Munich this season will have a better performance in Bundesliga and can work towards becoming the winner of the Champions League.  Harry Kane is a good signing for Bayern Munich to become the top team.

After all the speculations in this board, I think Harry Kane will have a rest with all the Real Madrid and Bayern Munich competition transfer, I knew it was the final call when Romano made announcement that the Medical are now book, there is no room for turning back, its a done deal and Bayern will have time to face the real challenge, I hope that Kane is going to be a blessing to them to win the Champions League but I bet they wouln't have it easily, Arsenal will be there to compete them, I wish Arsenal win though.

Tottenham has been a failure to many players, Kane has been in the club all his entire life, raise them to many group and finals but they always failed to bring something home, with all the experience he had in Premier League and the Champions League, no any that was lifted, zero effort and time wasted but atleast he has made name in the club, they will never forget him, it will take another great player to break what his has done for the club.

Basically, Mbappe is not the type of player who has a dependence on big money. Because after all, the amount of Mbappe current salary at PSG is also basically because PSG increased his salary and not Mbappe request. Yes, PSG goal at that time was to hold Mbappe to be able to stay in the PSG squad. Because at that time too, that Mbappe was very close to leaving PSG and joining Real Madrid. Therefore, some time ago also Mbappe was able to reject an offer to play in the Saudi League. Also, Mbappe refused a contract extension with an increased salary also at PSG. Because obviously, Mbappe priority at the moment is to get better in the Champion League, so it's no wonder that Mbappe has always been linked with Real Madrid so far.

Well I think the difference is huge if we consider the name of each team where Glasgow Rangers is one of the two legendary teams in Scotland having won many titles where Servette at least these 20 last years have not been consistent at all so the quality clearly indicate that Glasgow Rangers should qualify for the group stages most likely.The only problem they have is that they by themselves complicated the game when they were leading 2-0 they concede a penalty which was turned into goal by Servette.I have seen the game though and the quality difference was obvious,I don't think such quality difference can be overturn just by playing in your home stadium but let's see.

We know hiring better players and spending too much money can't be the reason for the teams to have a better performance against each other and we just saw that about Real Madrid and Barcelona, Barcelona spent less money than Real Madrid but they won the friendly match they had. This can be the reason to say regardless of the financial issues in Barcelona I think they can also have the chance to even race for the title in the Champions League.

It won't end for a while and there will be news everyday about it I guess, but regarding his selfishness, I think he is still a great player and what sets him apart from some other super talents who could be world class is that he is usually not injured and he scores a lot. But imagine he wouldn't have all this hysteria around him, which he is also to blame for, he could already be of a different, much better status. He is covering up his quality as a player with the problems that are all about money.

I knew you made a typo, but just in case, I checked - the Rangers took not 10th but second place in the Scottish League. In general, there are only two big teams and it is impossible for them to take a place lower than the second. I don't even know if this has happened in the last 20-30 years. The periods of dominance of Celtic and Rangers change but they are always at the top.
As for the bet, it's hard to choose because the Rangers will be happy even with draw. Therefore, betting on a simple victory is too risky.

Week one starts tomorrow and everyone will see how Real Madrid performs at San Mames Barria, because I think that Athletic Bilbao should not be underestimated by Real Madrid either. Especially if Real Madrid are trying to aim for points in the first week of the season, of course Real Madrid must be able to perform well at San Mames Barria.

I still can't say that Real Madrid is still the favorite in the Champions League this season because Real Madrid has yet to show its true performance in the Champions League this season. Especially if Real Madrid had appeared disappointing in the pre-season event, so it's still not accurate to conclude now.

The absence of Benzema will leave a huge space for Real Madrid if they don’t find a replacement for him soon enough, the league is starting today and they have still not yet find a replacement for him. During the pre season it was obvious that they needed a striker and they cannot rely fully on Vinicius and Rodrygo. If they are unable to sign Mbappe they should rather go for another striker they can afford like Osimhen or Vlahovic or anyone they can manage for the time being before they sign Mbappe else they will suffer alot and winning any trophy would be very difficult. They have a good midfield option and maybe that’s why they fee they don’t need a striker, playing without scoring is just a waste of time and Vinicius is a player we all know that he doesn’t score that often.

We will see how the season goes and Advancing to the champions league final will depend on the coach and how he is able to transfer the team in a small period of time. I believe Tuchel can show an impact and I won’t be suprised if they challenge for the Champions league trophy, a striker was what they lacked since Lewandowski left and what’s more interesting is that they found a player similar to Lewandowski so let’s just hope he is not affected by change of environment.

I have said this several times that Barcelona still needs time to rebuild a better a team and they should not focus on winning champions league just yet because it will be difficult, they need quality players and they lack the funds to buy them and still pay their wages. They should rather concentrate more on winning the La Liga and super cup so they can raise more funds and regain their financial stability and then only after that they can now think of challenging for the champions league.

Yes, finally the arrival of Kane in Munich will obviously make the Munich squad even better than last season because of course it will make competition in the UCL very interesting to watch, finally Kane has the opportunity to play in the UCL with Munich who might have a chance to win the UCL compared to playing for Tottenham therefore the right choice for him to move to Munich.

Kane certainly has supporting players to make him score goals for Munich that's why he would be very good if he adapts more quickly to other players let alone use the strategy that will be used by Tuchel, I believe Munich will play better than last season considering they have spent a lot of money and bringing in new players to strengthen Munich, of course the competition this season will be very interesting, can't wait to see how Kane plays for Munich later. 

Rating the performance of the two clubs was almost equal and I was impressed with how they played was also exceptional and from the stats they both have equal shots on target and looking at the ball possession also Slovan Bratislava was pressing in attacks but all were discarded, from what happened both clubs wanted to win which is the goal behind every game and Dia Saba that gave the assist for the first goal also was the one scoring the second goal and at the long run the game ended 2:1, from the way the two team played we should expect more from them especially Maccabi Haifa with more surprises to come.

It's possible but to be honest if it's too early to think kane will give us surprise in UCL. Let him try to adapt first. Kane needs time to build his chemistry with his new club. I will not expect him to adapt easily but he is great striker and he can do that easily.
Kane needs to build his chemistry as soon as possible. he gonna be coached by tuchel which has become his rival once tuchel was still on chelsea. Kane needs a mood booster for his performance in bayern munchen.
Im sure that tuchel will able to dig all of his potential. Bundesliga may be dominating by bayern again. Kane was not an injury prone striker. He is a great one, but he was playing for the wrong club.
Bayern is the right price for him to continue his career. Im very happy kane said yes for bayern's offer. A great club with good striker. What a good combination.
