With the addition of new clubs to the competition, we are going to see an entirely novel dimension of competition. The UEFA Champions League would be competitive; we may see some new faces in the competition this season; let's say mediocre clubs would be really competitive, and we hope for good results from them in the next season. Manchester City are the reigning champions and are eager to take the challenge to the next level. Pep Guardiola is determined to win the title for the second time; let's hope they reach the final stages this time.
There are always surprises in matches and that is why these new clubs can be a distinct threat to big clubs, as the defending champions, of course, Manchester City must really be able to win the title again next season, maybe they might easily get through to the final UCL in the next season, but we never know another surprise from a club that just joined later, instead of me being confident with the current squad it seems that Manchester City seems to be much better than last season.


I think Guardiola will give his best strategy to bring his team to the title for the second time in the UCL, even though it doesn't look easy but it seems I am confident that Manchester City can penetrate the title because it can be seen from several clubs like Madrid that have not seen progress because there is no substitute for benzema there yet, as we know the clubs that always have the strongest potential are munich and madrid.

I think Harry Kane now wants to be on a team where he will win championships. Of course, we can't deny that he has been a legendary player for Tottenham, but I think it's time to leave the team. After leaving the team, the best alternative will be Bayern Munich. I'm sure he will score a lot of goals in the German league. Harry Kane is in priority transfer status for Bayern Munich who want to be successful at UCL.
Bayern Munich interest in bringing in Harry Kane must be responded positively by Kane side, these two parties will be mutually beneficial if the transfer is realized. Kane needs a club that can guarantee him a win in the championship, while Bayern Munich need a striker to increase their attack power in order to maintain chances in several championships including the Champions League.

I think it's time for Kane to leave Tottenham for the chance to win some prestigious trophies. It's been enough of his tenure with Tottenham, while he was there he never felt how good it was to lift a prestigious trophy. Now is the right time for him to seek new adventures with bigger clubs to win titles while he is still playing at a high level.
In as much as Bayern Munich seriously need a striker like Harry Kane, the English national team captain also needs a club like Bayern in other to crown his footballing career with trophies.
Reports has it that the player and club has reached personal agreements but has been hindered to finally sign the transfer papers by Tottenham Hotspur's club chairman who is yet to consent to the player's departure. I think Harry Kane can do better in forcing his way out of the club and it's best to do it now to save his career

Ljubljana - Galatasaray is one of the matches I will be wondering the result of. Because despite Galatasaray were the absolute favourite against Zalgiris in the previous stage they still had unexpectedly big difficulties. The main reason was being not ready for new season of course. But after playing two matches they must have been in a better shape now. In addition they are going to have some of their new transfers in this match as well.

But interestingly Galatasaray didn't include Zaha and Zaniolo in their squad for the first leg. As far as I know they will be in the second leg but still it is interesting. But as long as they are fully concentrated on the match there shouldn't be any problem on getting the win.

If Galatasaray does not include these two players, then maybe it is a form of Galatasaray underestimating the opposing team. Because anyway, in the previous match also against Zalgiris that Galatasaray only got a draw in the first leg. Also, Galatasaray both played the first leg in an away match and I think, it would be better for Galatasaray to target a win in the first leg as well. Because if Galatasaray can win in the first leg in the away match, it will certainly make Galatasaray be able to play more calmly in the second leg later when Galatasaray plays in the home match.

I hope Okan Buruk doesn't underestimate his opponent. Because I don't trust Galatasaray.
Zaha may not be ready but why isn't Zanilo playing? I hope Icardi plays tonight, because as I said last time, I don't think we have a striker.

tian a player of his caliber deserves to be playing in the champions league and if he doesn’t leave this season then I hope that he doesn’t sign an extension. Furthermore had the transfer to Bayern been finalised then they would have automatically become the favourites to win the competition but without Kane I doubt that they’ll win the champions league this season.
I have no doubt about this player like his level deserve better club and few trophies as well, but now it's not all in his hands he needs to settle things with Tottenham management which is not allowing about this and also not honoring his wishes for the winning trophies but with this all we need to accept few other things as well few years back when he was at the top of the game many big clubs were asking for transfer, but mostly he was refusing this all because he was in love with Tottenham and now same fate happening to him many clubs are interested.

But Tottenham Chairman is not allowing this all even they also understand in next year he will leave as free agent and this could be big lost for them, but they are ready for this all and still not allowing for this transfer with few hours back we have few updates they are buying few good players for the strength of their squad because they are feeling in this season they can do much better which is not sure.

Kane himself has also asked to sell it. but it looks like Tottenham will lose Kane and will get nothing if they keep holding Kane and turn down the fantastic offers from Bayern.
although Tottenham desperately need Kane, it has proved with several offers of a raise. but if Tottenham don't manage to get Kane's signature to extend the contract, they will be sorry for such a big money.
Tottenham should have prepared for this with a better plan in the past. now they are in a dilemma. I'm sure it is.
Harry Kane is an important trump card for Tottenham and the brains of the team, but now he has to continue his career with another team for his own success. This team will most likely be Bayern Munich and Harry Kane will win the championship. Even without the UCL, I am certain that he will win the Bundesliga title.
Now we have few days left in start of the Premier League and latest updates showing Levy rejected Bayern Munich new bid as well which mean now he has to stay here for another season, and then he can leave this club as free agent which could also OK for him because even it's wired but Levy still having faith in him, and they also bring few new quality players for their improved performance, but one thing is sure now Harry Kane's dream for the winning trophies is already shattered for the another season which is surely not good, but he has to live with this all.

Nothing is surely about future, but he is facing reality while he was in his prime many clubs were looking for him, but he never gives them any positive reply now he is facing same fate and have to wait for some more time about leaving and having anything big in his career.

PSV Eindhoven vs Sturm Graz

For third qualification stage in the first leg PSV will play as a host and here is the current odds for this match

PSV Eindhoven @1.40
Draw @4.50
Sturm Graz @7

It is clearly that PSV is the favourite in this match but i am not surprised if the bookie placed them as the favourite because since pre season tour PSV performance has been showing good progress that they got 4 wins from total 5 matches and the latest is PSV can able to beat Feyenoord with slim score at Johan Cruijff cup event so PSV currently in the good shape and besides that both teams has been met on 2021 at Europa league and at that time PSV can able to beat Sturm Graz twice and regarding bets option indeed the odds for PSV was quite low but i think this is safe bets because i am sure they will be able to win the match today

PSG has ever faced sturm two times and PSG has won all of matches against sturm. That odds is still good for PSV. It is clear that PSV has a superior squad compared to Sturm.. PSV will be on advantage caused by the game gonna happen at PSV's home.
Sturm is facing a disaster by playing away in the first leg against PSV. PSV will continue its record against sturm. I remind you that if sturm was inconsistent as the club was only winning a few times from the last five matches.

Strasbroug has defeated sturm in the pre season match. I think this gonna be an easy game for PSV.


PSV usually always played well in the early stages of European leagues. I remember being surprised by their good play in the last few seasons. I think they will win now too, especially as Sturm Graz are not such a strong club. They probably won't have a chance to win today.

It's obvious who doesn't know PSV and with much better squad depth they can win this game for sure. I don't even know who Sturm Graz really is and if you look at the information available they are a club from the Austrian league. No wonder Sturm Graz gets big odds because they are a team far from the Champions League competition. Even if you want to bet, it's definitely a safe bet for PSV to win with the odds @1.40 and it looks like Sturm Graz won't be too difficult for PSV. Other than that I think PSV will score more than 2 goals in this qualifier.
I agree with this but I don't think that it will be easy for PSV,last year don't forget Salzburg a team from Austrian League was in the group stages of the Champions League so most probably it won't be that easy although I think at home PSV should win in the end and maybe to qualify.

What I find more appealing is the FC Kopenhagen vs Sparta Prague where I am a big fan of Kopenhagen as they have never failed a game at home in the Champions and even held Manchester City to a draw some years ago so the odd of over 2 for them is really nice to bet on,let's parlay this with PSV and the odd would be great to triple our money.
There is no doubt about PSV performance and with this match which is not going to play tonight things looking favorable for them specially after beating Feyenoord in opening game of this season things are looking impressive for them even Australian side is also capable of doing anything special but currently PSV is playing at home and their performance is also on their best which mean today we have no fair chance for the visitors in this game.

Odds are clearly giving huge advantage to PSV and most chances they will do as par required but Champions League is mostly famous for the unpredictable results and shocking results which mean anything possible from Stum Graz with mostly punters going with -1 or -2 because sentiments are favoring these figures after PSV first win.

Ljubjana is a weak team coming in the third preliminary round of the Champions League so most likely Galatasaray will win easily and comfortably this game in both legs.I don't see any surprise results happening here and Ljubjana should be happy as they are already in the Europa Conference League play offs where they can reach the group stage there if a weak team is one of their opponents in the draw while Galatasaray has been a lot of times in the Champions League group stages and I think they will achieve it this year too,so nothing to worry in this game.

It has long been obvious that Tottenham is not prepared to let Harry Kane leave. How come I said that? Because they require a lot of money and a lot of clubs are looking for Harry Kane, they shouldn't give him to another club just yet. They don't want him to leave, and you can see that Bayern Munich are still looking for him, which is what motivates them to want such a large sum of money. But even if Harry Kane wants to leave Tottenham, I think his contract with them hasn't yet expired, therefore I think Harry Kane will continue to stay with them till it expires.
Harry Kane is too important for Tottenham and he is their home-grown player. Levy firstly does not want to lose Kane and secondly he does not intend to spend big money to buy players as replacements for Harry Kane.

It's not easy for Tottenham to find a good player and replace Harry Kane successfully and it together with a habit to sell star players at lucrative transfer prices, Levy likely builds a solid cage to keep Kane in the club.

Quote
To strengthen the team and elevate the clubs so they can win trophies, Tottenham has resisted recruiting more new players to join Harry Kane. I think Harry Kane wants to leave there because of the trophies they have yet to win.
Strengthen the team and win titles, it is Levy's promise to Harry Kane when he convinced the player to expand the contract but after a few seasons, we already saw that it has yet been touched by Tottenham.

Harry Kane has enough loyalty and love for the club but his career is counting down and he is no longer treated respectfully by Levy with last two times his contract is coming to expire.

Quote from: Volgastallion
With only less than a week from the start of Premier League i see imposible to see a movement from Harry Kane, well at least without paying the clause and termination.

Sad for him because seems like he is trapped on that team, he made big efforts for nothing, he can break records for sure in another team with much more category than Totenham.

I don't think Tottenham Hotspur coach will allow Harry Kane to leave the team in this season until his contract expire next year June before he will allow him to go and join any team of his choice because they still need his service in this season. Tottenham Hotspur coach knew the role Harry Kane is playing in the team , that is why they are looking for way to bring more potential defenders and midfielders in this summer so that they can assist some players to achieve their goal from the team. Based on the Harry Kane body language in this summer, show that he really want to leave the team and join Bayern Munich because their manager really want to have him in Bayern Munich in this season.


@Sebas. tian a player of his caliber deserves to be playing in the champions league and if he doesn’t leave this season then I hope that he doesn’t sign an extension. Furthermore had the transfer to Bayern been finalised then they would have automatically become the favourites to win the competition but without Kane I doubt that they’ll win the champions league this season.

Yes, the news I heard last time Tottenham rejected Bayern Munich's offer of €70 million. In addition, in the Shakhatar Donetsk game, Kane played well. Even he scored 4 goals. It's incredible, maybe this is the reason why Tottenham still can't let him go, he is still very good. Kane, has complete strength and technique. He is capable as a finisher, he is able to hold the ball and open up space for the midfielder.

PSV made a good start to the new season under Peter Bosz and i consider them to be favorites this round as they have a good roster. We watched a good PSV in the preparation period and they beat Feyenoord in the Super Cup and took the Super Cup to their museum. PSV strengthened the offensive line with the transfers of Lang and Pepi in addition. Sturm Graz is also a team that has been on the rise in Austria in recent years but they are not yet at a level to make a name for themselves in the Champions League. Both teams look good but i think PSV is ahead for the round. I think that PSV will achieve the desired result by combining its enthusiastic play and squad quality with the home field advantage and it will be advantageous in the second match. Weaknesses may come to light in PSV's defensive line and we can watch a match with mutual goals. My favorite is the home team.

Yes, it's very possible, PSV Eindhoven is the favorite in this match because indeed the teams from these two different leagues have a significant difference in quality, so no one doubts PSV Eindhoven to win this match and also this season PSV Eindhoven built his team much more strong, so I have no hesitation in betting on PSV's win.
And I also don't know the strength of Sturm Graz for sure, but I think that if there are no big surprises, they won't be able to win this match, it's very difficult for them to play against a team that has played in the UCL a lot like PSV.
