Mbappe is a young fantastic player, and I think any club that owns him will be very proud of him. They won't be happy to see a young great player leave their team, either, because it's really uncommon to find a young player with his level of skill on the market right now. I think PSG understands the worth of mbappe in the team, which is why they treated him with such respect. I might even argue he deserves it because he has been giving it his all for PSG, which has greatly aided the club's success.


If I have to say that I don't think anybody will underestimate Arsenal in the next Champions League with the performance the club showed last season and the way Arteta has built the team by bringing quality players to the team, I believe that should be enough evidence for anyone that Arsenal will perform well. With this Arsenal squad, I am expecting them to be a great team next season with many achievements. Arteta is a great coach, and I believe that he has learned from his mistakes last season, which is why he is trying his best to bring in strong and determined players, not just players by their names.

I am sure that they can bench him if they want to but they need the go ahead from the management as well. I mean it's all about how you could end up with getting rid of a player, if you do not play him and make it very clear to him that you are not going to play him, then he will leave himself. This requires the team to realize that they want to get rid of him no matter what.

But since PSG is a French team and Mbappe is France superstar, I feel like they will get a lot of heat if they do not play him and that's why I am expecting him to play in every game he can. The way to get rid of him is to just make sure you talk to the agent and make it known that you do not want him on the team, if you can do that then it should be fine.

I believe that Galatasaray won't make the mistakes they made in this match in the second leg, they played away from home and the team still has to look for the best form, but I'm sure that in the second leg they will show a totally different game! they will definitely put their heart and soul into it! the difference between the two teams is very clear and I see it really difficult for galatasaray to make the same mistakes again

What PSG did because they were very afraid of losing their stars. if mbappe leaves, their fans will decrease, and sales will decrease. No Lionel Messi, no Mbappe. Who else could become an icon for PSG? Yes, that's about why PSG privileges and maintains Mbappe. But for me personally, it's better for him to just move so that his career will be better and he can win a title he has never gotten.

But now, PSG can no longer persuade him to stay at PSG. because Mbappe himself has a very big dream, namely being able to win the Champions League, he realizes that staying with PSG is a dream he will find difficult to achieve. It is proven that last season PSG had a luxurious squad but could not do much together in the Champions League. I think it's normal for him to be arrogant because he's still very young, and it's true as you said he needs a tough coach to change his character. The perfect trainer I think is Eric Tan Hag.

Arsenal have brought in several new players during the transfer market, it is part of their preparations to try to win something next season. Arsenal's match schedule will not be easy and will certainly be a little more difficult because they have to play in the Champions League. If Arsenal join the group of hell, then it will only be the toughest challenge they have experienced since returning to the highest competition.

So far, Arsenal have been absent from the Champions League for quite a long time because their performance was not too good in the Premier League. But next season Arsenal must try to perform at their best and prove that they can compete to be the best. There have been a lot of doubts about Arsenal, but Arteta has turned them into a team of interesting game.

I also think the same thing as you because so far he has always been privileged at PSG so that it makes him difficult to control, so this will obviously be detrimental to PSG as well if he goes free agency and ends his contract with PSG, so the steps PSG must take are currently pressing Mbappe to extend the contract or sell him immediately.

I don't know how Mbappe thought all this time he was growing up at PSG, which made him very difficult to control for PSG itself, especially if he had the coach mentioned above it might be very easy to control him, if Mbappe joins Madrid next season maybe he can be controlled by the Madrid coach at least, he's not as special as PSG who have always been special about him so far.

Therefore, I have never considered betting easy. Even though big names like them are the favorites but still, in reality there can be surprises by teams that are not seeded. Also, even though they still have a chance to turn things around in the second leg later and also, the favorite teams have won in the first leg, but the reality is that they also have to keep playing well in the second leg later because it's not easy at all. Because playing and or entering the Champions League group phase will certainly not be easy, because every team will certainly make their maximum effort because after all they have the same opportunities that must be realized.

Mbappe was given too many privileges in PSG, and that is what has affected his attitude. At any time he wishes to leave, they are always quick to seek for a way to make him stay. He knows how important he is to PSG as they have shown, that is why sometimes his attitude even towards the manager of the club may be disrespectful. PSG should him go, the manager they have is not strong enough to control him. If it was Erik Ten Hag or Pep Guardiola or even Mourinho, coaches who have a successful career and do not want any payer to ruin it, they will be able to control him.

Theoretically, Arsenal have become quite a competitive team. although I think they still need to sign a centre-forward who is hungry for goals, but at least now Artera's team should be stronger than last season. Arsenal have deepened their squad by bringing in several new arrivals, they are ready to welcome the new season. although this team is almost dominated by a young squad, however, it should not be underestimated. we can see how they almost won the domestic league trophy, even though in the end the Gunners squad failed to maintain the consistency of their performance. at least, whoever the team that will be Arsenal's opponent later. they have to be ready, because this team can surprise.

One more thing, which we should not underestimate. So far, United have not brought in many players. but that does not mean, this team is not competitive. because after all, Manchester Unitid should not be underestimated. the proof, with the available squad. they were able to finish in 3rd place in the Premier League standings. it could be that if Ten Hag's squad doesn't have problems with injured players, they can go as far as they can in this competition. after all, they have a coach who is no less intelligent like Pep Guardiola. To be honest, I can't wait to see the competition begin.

That's right, it's beyond common sense and the wave of protests didn't only come from Clubs and Fans, but even from the players themselves. I don't think UEFA will make regulations that allow non-European clubs to join the European Champions League. Because this will also directly intersect or clash with competition regulations between UEFA and AFC. For the European region, UEFA is responsible for and oversees the region, including the European Champions League. while in the Asian region the AFC is responsible for and supervises the Asian region and oversees the Asian level Champions League.

How is it possible that a club from the SPL affiliated under the auspices of the AFC will join UEFA, I think it is an absurd speculation. If you expect an SPL club to meet one of the clubs from Europe then it is only possible in the Club World Cup.

It will not happen. Saudi club was on EU club. How can UEFA consider saudi club to join in the UEFA champion league which is only for europe club? It sounds non sense if this thing gonna happen.
UEFA Champion already subjected to be a competition for europe club. non EU club will never ever be allowed to join in UEFA champion league. It will never happen. I think that speculation was only BS. There will be massive protests coming for UEFA if that thing gonna be real.

I can't even imagine how big the protests that gonna come for UEFA and that thing is out of the box. It's very hard to imagine it to happen.

Well I think Mbappe never really had respect for his managers and also for his teammates most of the time. The success he had as a young player and the limelight he was in ever since he was 17 or 18, and then all the admiration from fans around the world, he firmly believes he is on a different level, but there are different ways to handle those feelings. Haaland is emphasizing the negative parts of a game but not in a dumb manner, he is doing it being critical with himself and he is very realistic with his analyses. I like that. Mbappe is kind of arrogant sometimes. Now could there be a manager who is a serious authority in the eyes of Mbappe? I think Zidane could be that guy who shows Mbappe immediately who the boss is and who would also try to make him better. Guardiola as well. Mbappe thinks he is above everyone else.

This does not mean that I don't like him as a player. In fact I think he is the best there is today, but ego can prevent him from winning trophies and titles that he would win if he was more down to earth.

Arsenal are one of the most active Premier League teams in the transfer market, Arteta is very aware of the shortcomings that the team he leads still has. Arteta tries to bring in quality players in order to keep the team's performance consistent in every game. Arsenal will try to give their best performance in the Champions League even though they are currently not placed in the favorite team.

Arteta will try to make a surprise in the UCL this season, their performance last season was very good even though in several matches they had lost important points in the Premier League. The arrival of new players is expected to add to Arsenal's strength as well as close the gap that has not been resolved last season. Arteta will try to take advantage of this season after they failed last season, the UCL is of course their main target.

It'll be huge disadvantage to any club that'll underestimate a club like Arsenal come next season because Arsenal might end up giving such club a thrashing of their life
Mikel Arteta has done exceptionally well in building the Arsenal team to a very strong side and as it stands, I think Arsenal is capable of beating any European club.
Coming so close to winning the English Premier League last season is enough reason for any European side that's facing Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League competition next season to be very careful and strategic against the North London club or face unwanted humiliation

Sheriff vs Maccabi Haifa

Both teams in the good shape because they can able to qualified to the next round with impressive performance that Sheriff has just made epic comeback with eliminate Farul Constanța with scores 3-0 in the second leg even so with Maccabi Haifa that they were beat their opponent Ħamrun with total aggregate 6-1 so my prediction this match will be so tight and whoever the winner in the first leg will be determined their position to advances to 3rd qualification matches

Although this is away match but the current odds has showing Maccabi Haifa is the favourite with odds @2.36 and Sheriff as the underdog @3.10 but i don't think Sheriff will be easily to beat because during play at home Sheriff also quite strong and based on the recent performance from both teams Sheriff performance is more impressive than Maccabi Haifa however i think pick for the moneyline seems quite risky for this match that's why i was thinking for other option such as both teams to scores or probably draw

When it comes to the Champions League, I don't even rate the Emirates so highly, I can't even make such predictions of gunner's winning the Champions League because they'll disappoint when you have so much focus on the players and squad.
I won't underestimate them his season, though I didn't do such last season but they're not qualified enough to win the Champions League.
They even bottled the Premier League and you expect them to take same mentality to the Champions League, Wonderfully Wonderful!!

I hope they figure how to win the Premier League after the awful ending they had in them best season since after the last days of Arsene Wenger. They have depth but now but they can still do better.

Gabriel Jesus's knee injury, which kept him out for the entirety of last season and caused him to miss 15 games, was one of the factors that led to Arsenal's poor performance before the winter break when they lost first place in the standings to Manchester City. That is something I don't want to see happen again because Nketiah did a great job representing us, but it also changed how forwards became familiar with Arsenal games. I want to see the entire package that he brought from Manchester City, just how he began in the first half of the 2022 season.

Further more, I'm impress with Arsenal friendly match they have played which the first two were against outside Premier League teams but the fact that they couldn't beat Manchester United surprise, despite all the single shot on target they had, not a goal from them, no conversion. I wonder how prepare they are including Declan opstimism. It will be interesting to see their Arsenal match against Barcelona and Manchester City, then I will know if Arsenal is prepared to win the Champions League or not.

Zalgiris did not play badly either, and if Fofana had managed to take advantage of a one-on-one with the goalkeeper at the beginning of the match and  could score a goal, then everything could have been even more difficult for Galatasaray. Of course, the second leg at the Nef Stadium will be much more difficult for Zalgeris, but in Vilnius Galatasaray did not look like a clear favorite, besides, they made a lot of mistakes in defense.

Arsenal really shouldn't be underestimated next season, especially in the Champions League because Arsenal themselves are also very aware that they still have to improve on existing deficiencies to be able to wade through an even greater next season. And not only in the Champions League, Arsenal must be taken into account, but also in the Premier League must also be considered from the start of the season, because Arsenal will try to be consistent from the start of the season to fight for the title next season.

Yes, I agree with you. Galatasaray defender Nellson made a big mistake while Zalgiris Vilnius scored the first goal. Galatasaray defender Dubois made a big mistake while Zalgiris Vilnius scored the second goal. But the players of a great team like Galatasaray should not make such simple mistakes.


I can't even imagine too. But football is unpredictable. Your guess is correct. Unfortunately, like all Turkish teams, Galatasaray has huge economic difficulties. But this cannot be an excuse.
