It would probably be just daft for Mbappe to leave Europe at the start of his career for the Saudi League... Old guys like Messi and Ronaldo have gone there for the huge money and quiet life, they are already world players and have achieved a lot... Mbappe's journey is just beginning and he has a lot of different victories and titles waiting for him, which he can't get playing in the Saudi League...

The PSG team has implemented many strategies to do well in the Champions League. But so far it has not been successful. It remains to be seen what kind of changes this season will bring.

If PSG has made a bad decision against Mbappe, I don't think PSG's decision will be well received by the French fans. The ferocious attitude of the French fans towards Messi and Neymar has already been revealed, so if the club makes a bad decision against Mbappe, the French fans will not leave the club. PSG have confirmed that Mbappe's verbal agreement with Real Madrid has been completed just one year before Mbappe's move to Real Madrid. Before Mbappe left for Real Madrid, he had a big offer from the Saudi League but I don't know exactly what Mbappe will do about that offer. But if there was any other player in place of the kind of big offer that was made to him, he would have accepted this Saudi offer without thinking. Now it remains to be seen what decision Mbappe ultimately takes

well I would say that an opponent should never be underestimated especially when this is on paper the weakest, I still remember a real Madrid vs sheriff in the Champions League, where the sheriff beat the galacticos at home. here in my opinion galatasaray shouldn't fall into the trap of underestimating their opponent, and given the parity in the score in the first leg both will try to score goals so I agree with your advice

It is difficult to predict Mbappe future now when you look at the transfer situation involving several wealthy clubs such as Real Madrid, Al Hilal and Chelsea.  all possibilities can happen because PSG will accept offers from any club as long as they meet the set price.  Currently Real Madrid is number one because it is claimed to have made a personal agreement with Mbappe.  Thus PSG current scenario is to sell Mbappe before the transfer window closes, because the contract renewal has been rejected and Mbappe insists on staying at PSG despite being under pressure, not being played all season even though it is detrimental to PSG itself.

It's strange that now PSG and Mbappe are in a difficult situation, on the other hand Real Madrid is in an advantageous position because it is the club that Mbappe wants, by stalling for a little time until the end of August will put PSG management in a big loss position, Madrid will submit a proposal at the right time.  short it and of course the price is no longer in accordance with PSG expect.  If not released then Mbappe will go on a free transfer, Perez is very good at taking advantage of this type of transfer situation.

With the results of this match we can know that we shouldn't underestimate a team whose quality is far below. Maybe next time Galatasaray will have to be extra vigilant by exerting all of the team's abilities by winning at least more than 2 goals so that the distance that can be chased is also very difficult for Zalgiris. Apart from that, with the same aggregate number, of course the two teams still have the same chance and in this case Galatasaray cannot be confident in being able to beat Zalgiris easily again.

Galatasaray will have to improve their teamwork in the second leg and if they can do that well then there is no doubt for them. But a little advice, if later someone wants to bet on the Galatasaray vs Zalgiris second leg match, it's better for us to take the result of over 1.75 or 2.25 goals because both teams will definitely score again to be able to win the match.

Bayern Munich fired their last coach because of their bad unstable results and the bad relationship between him and other players and now Tuchel started working there while they are going to have some friendly games and if Tuchel gets bad results in these games and some games in the first weeks he can get fired just like Nagelsmann because they hired Tuchel for achieving something in the Champions League.  

The best option for PSG is to persuade Mbappe to take the deal and move to the Saudi league for a season. The deal would bring in some money for the club and would go a long way in solving lots of issues. And I honestly don’t see Mbappe leaving for Saudi Arabia anytime soon.
There’s no reason why a coach would have his top asset sitting on the bench during games. Whatever issues there is between player and manager, the manager would want to win games and Mbappe could help him do just that. Mbappe is a player that at the moment, can’t be kept in the sidelines. 

Regardless of market value, Mbappe is unquestionably the best player on the planet right now in terms of performance, and every organisation would want to have him on their roster. A tremendously talented player who is capable of scoring in every game, Mbappe reminds me of a young Cristiano Ronaldo in his heyday. He is the kind of player who has the power to decide a game on his own. He received superb treatment from PSG and performed admirably for the group. The team must respect his decision to leave as a result. But it only makes sense for them to make a sizable profit from his deal while he is still young, considering the size of their investment in him.


Arsenal can correct their mistakes from last season, but I believe it would be challenging and could take some time given the team's recent addition of two new players and adjustments to the midfield. The midfield was incredibly well-coordinated and had excellent communication skills last season, which I think takes some time to develop. As a result, I don't think the midfield's communication will be at the same level as it was last season. Instead, they will need to start from scratch if they want to compete in the Premier League next season. I think they can perform even better the next season if they can contend for it like they did last year.

Since the champions league is quite demanding and this is their first appearance in a while, they truly needed to strengthen the squad in order to compete because otherwise they would have lost their chance to win the champions league for the first time ever.

There are numerous strikers in the market, but they come with hugh valuable prices. Given their current situation, the Bavarians missed the presence of Robert Lewandowski at Allianz Arena, whereas the Los Blancos missed the presence of Karim Benzema at the Santiago Bernabeu. These clubs have had a difficult time; perhaps they are healing and channeling their remaining available energy into something more beneficial. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are looking for a striker on the market. However, these elite clubs were greeted with devastating news, since they were missing strikers.

Bayern Munich Must be aware of this. Because it's true that Bayern munich weak point is the front line because they don't have such a quality centre-forward to score goals. Bayern munich lost to Manchester city in a friendly match where the final result was 1-2 for Manchester city's victory. So Tuchel must see their weaknesses after they were defeated by Manchester city.

One of the big efforts made by Bayern Munich was to bring in a sticker in this transfer window, which never worked. But bayern munich bid for Harry kane is still there if Bayern munich is able to increase their bid on the new proposal most likely Bayern munich can overcome weaknesses in the front line if they manage to get harry kane. For real madrid they have names of attackers they want to bring in like Mbappe and Vlahovic.

Mbappe knows this is a threat that PSG cannot uphold so he's not shaken by that threat. There's is no way PSG will bench Mbappe for a while season. With Messi and Ronaldo out of Europe, Mbappe is arguably the best attacker on the continent, so I don't see how a club can have that kind of player and put him on the bench for a whole season. That is a threat that hold no water.
The best that can happen for PSG right now is if they can convince Mbappe to take the Al Hillal deal. That deal solves a lot of issues for PSG. They would not have to pay Mbappe the agreed 65m, they also receive a huge sum for Mbappe and have money to spend on other signings.
I'm just trying to imagine PSG benching Mbappe even the champions league and I don't see a scenario where that happens. It would be a disaster for bother Mbappe and PSG.

Don't forget that some of the key players who performed exceptionally well and were present last season are no longer with the team, such as Gundogan, who played an excellent midfield role for Manchester City. Before fc Barcelona signed Gundogan, I was criticizing the player until two of my friends who knew him and had seen him play numerous times told me that he is one of the best midfielders they respected and adored, One person even said that Gundogan is superior to Kevin De Bryun, who is widely regarded as one of the best in the world. However, after watching some of his highlights, I was persuaded and developed a strong liking for Gundogan. Therefore, no one can yet predict whether Manchester City would perform like they did or even better than last season.. That is my personal perspective.

The strongest teams in the world are seeking forwards and Bayern Munich is still trying to find a player to have a replacement for Lewandowski, and Real Madrid is trying to do the same thing about Benzema but both teams failed so far however some strikers like Osimhen, Kane, and Mbappe are available.

Real Madrid's sale of Benzema is as a result of the fact that Benzema is of age,and wants to try a new challenge elsewhere.The team needs to give younger players some chances to improve and show their abilities in the team as well.When Christiano Ronaldo was in Madrid,Benzema wasn't the main man in the team because  there was someone who was ahead of him in goalscoring which was Ronaldo,but since Christiano left to another club,it has been Benzema that has been scoring the goals and has been the main man in the team,therefore, opportunities needs to be given to youger players so that the future of the team will be guarantee.

I know Real Madrid needs to go into the market and sign players whom they think can give them results that they want,but I still think giving young players opportunity to shine is another way of discovering future stars.In addition,Bayern Munich does not need a striker,all they need is a good coach that can integrate the players together,and bring out the best in them.They have Serge Gnabry at that team,they also have Sane and Mane that are very sharp in attack,so the Idea of adding another striker is not really necessary to me.

The next season of the Champions League will already be held in a new format (Swiss system) and I don’t think that anyone would be upset if one more was added to this change. But I understand that you are talking about bureaucracy and of course such changes will not be made so quickly.
As for Ronaldo, I don’t know what form he is in now, but in my opinion, until the playoffs, the level of play will be very low, especially for weak teams (due to the new regulations).

That scenario is not going to happen to Kylian Mbappe especially since PSG have given him some talking and deciding rights. He is a special player for PSG and I think PSG have indulged him a little too much instead of forcing him to be a more mature player.

If in the end Enrique will bench Mbappe for no apparent reason, then perhaps Enrique will not have many seasons at PSG. But things could change now that PSG have lost patience with Mbappe who wants to leave at the end of the season. PSG have tried to convince him to sell the player instead of incurring a loss at the end of next season when Mbappe's contract expires. So they have to sell him regardless of whichever team is interested in him.

Before the match between Ludogorets and Olimpija Ljubljana I thought that Ludogorets will win this match. I thought it would be something like yesterday's Dinamo Zagreb game. But so far they managed to equalise after conceding a goal in the first half and their game does not look good. I don't know what will happen in the second half, but it seems to me that the chances of winning are the same.

What happened to Arsenal last season is a lesson for the team, and I am sure they will never make the same mistake they made towards the end of last season, both in the Premier League and Europa League competitions, which they had hope of winning but failed due to a lack of squad depth.

Therefore, with the way Arsenal has been busy in the transfer market trying to get enough squad depth in order to avoid the mistake they made towards the end of last season, Arsenal should not be underrated in the coming season's Champions League because they are no longer an average team like we used to know; they are now a team with a lot of world-class players that have the zeal to win trophies.


Strikers are presently in short supply and are a huge issue for almost all major teams, with the exception of Manchester City.

All of the big teams need a solid striker like Haaland, and while we all know that there are only a few world-class strikers available in the transfer market, most of them are unwilling to leave their clubs.

Perhaps some young strikers will shine brightly in this Champions League since world-class strikers are scarce and their teams are unwilling to let them leave.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are both lacking an important thing in their squad now which is a striker. They both have strikers in their squads technically of course but they don't have a reliable one for especially the Champions League. Bayern Munich's performance was quite inadequate for this reason last season as well.

Real Madrid have also lost Benzema and loaned Joselu. But Joselu has surely been brought as a replacement for their future main striker. But they have still not made up their mind on a target yet. There are only rumours on the internet.

But I believe both teams will manage to solve their striker problem before this transfer window closes. But I can't be confident about the time period before the season starts officially.
