I wonder how the game Sheriff against Farul will end. The first match was won by Farul with a minimum score of 1-0. Now Sheriff wins with the same score. If one of these clubs can score a goal, we can expect a very tense battle until the end of the match. But I think that Sheriff should win.
Everyone keeps talking about how Pep took a big club and made it just bigger and he never managed a bad team and all that. That's the only criticism that I have seen about him, but there are two points that are marginally wrong and I believe City will get it again. First of all, he always refreshes his squads, he does sell some players, and puts a bit of money on top of it and gets new ones, sure he spent some serious money at times, but he is not the manager who spent the most money, yet still managed to get the most cups.
On the other hand, there are plenty of big clubs that fail to win, does that make them suck? Like Real won league and UCL last season, but lost it this season, does that make Ancelotti suck? Aside from that, if you are as good as Pep, why manage some low level team? Of course you will manage big clubs, best clubs require best managers.

Yes indeed, i also disagree when there is criticism like that, for example "Pep only plays it safe, only coaches a club that has a lot of money to make it easier to get the players he wants" and so on. Because after all, Pep Guardiola is coached Bayern Munich and also Manchester City at the moment because Pep actually got the offer. So with that reason, does it make sense when Pep accepts an offer from Manchester City and then Pep turns it down and Pep chooses to coach a mediocre team? And even then, the mediocre team maybe not have the money to pay Pep. I don't think it makes much sense either way, so Pep can success so far is basically purely due to the great skill he has, and not because of anything else as the criticism says.

Manchester City got their first trophy this season, maybe they still have a chance to be the favorites team again in next season, if there are no changes in their squad. But I think they can certainly reach the top 8 or even semi-finals, but also to win again I think it's too early because there are many big clubs who have pocketed tickets for next season. We can't underestimate them either especially Inter, although they unlucky this season but they can reach to the finals, it's a sign of how strong they are this season and maybe next season they can showing more optimal.
Yes that trophy (UEFA Champions League) has been waiting for Sheikh Mansour since 2008 when he acquired Manchester City. They are also very worthy and have the opportunity to repeat the same success next season because the squad has not undergone major changes, only one or two players from the main squad have moved clubs. Many predict that Manchester City's dominance will continue for the next two to three seasons, as long as Pep Guardiola remains their coach.Next season's Champions League battle will certainly be tougher than the previous season and more fierce. No one predicted that Inter Milan would advance to the final beforehand. However, the consistency and mentality that the club has has allowed them to compete to that stage. The success they have achieved cannot be separated from the declining performance of several big clubs such as Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern.
Of course, the example of PSG showed that for success in football it is not enough to have rich owners and that it is also necessary to have a good development plan and strategy.
If you remember, when the new owners took over Newcastle 2 seasons ago, the club was on the brink of relegation. In just one year, they saved themselves from relegation and entered the Champions League, which is a great success.
This tells me that the new owners of Newcastle know what they are doing and that Newcastle could be a very serious competitor to Manchester City in the future. They have the finances to succeed, they seem to have a good plan and the patience, time and knowledge to implement it.
The time will show.
Yes, if Newcastle also being trained by a coach who has competence and good scouts to bring in quality players, then they can become City's competitors for the EPL title. However, every clubs still needs a process to get to the UCL final. without a coach who knows the UCL and can bring in the right players, Newcastle may find themselves in a tailspin that has already happenedIf you remember, when the new owners took over Newcastle 2 seasons ago, the club was on the brink of relegation.

Luckily, Manchester city has Guardiola and trusts him to take care of coaching and planning attack strategies when facing each of his opponents. Guardiola is not only smart but he never gives up even though he failed several times in the previous UCL. He remains confident that he can bring Manchester City to win the UCL last season. even getting a treble winner at the same time which made a surprise to all the other clubs that they couldn't be stopped.
I think everyone also agrees with that, but after seeing that there are some players who might leave Manchester City I hope Guardiola really gets new players who can replace those who have left at least better, I'm sure Guardiola can find talented players because he always picks the right man in the manchester city squad.
Manchester has a great coach, Guardiola is really very good and he proves it year after year
even in the previous team he did a lot and achieved many results, he deserves it because he works hard and with passion
Pep Guardiola is an amazing manager. Their success in this regard is already enough to tell us this. The fact that they won the triple trophy with Manchester City last year proved this once again. They left one of the biggest tournaments in Europe and one of the biggest in the world as champions. He will probably continue to coach at Manchester City unless he wants to leave Manchester City anymore.

Guardiola is a coach who never gives up no matter what, so he will undoubtedly find a player to fill the spot of those who leave the team. However, I want you to understand that changing players can have an adverse effect on the team, and no matter how good a player was in his position before leaving, it will be very challenging to find someone who can perform in the same manner. Gundogan left the team, and Bernardos Silva also desired to leave for Barcelona. As two of Manchester City's key players, these departures will likely make the team's performance seem off at first before returning to normal.
Again, in my opinion, I do not believe that Manchester City will win the Champions League the following season. This is because, as a result of the signing of new players, I have begun to feel that it will be very difficult for Manchester City to win the Champions League the following season. Not only will this be the case in the Champions League, but it will also be difficult in the Premier League due to the fact that, in my opinion, Arsenal has a much stronger squad than the other teams.

The match between Struga vs Žalgiris two teams has already started in UEFA Champions League today. The players of both teams are trying hard to score but neither team has been able to score any goal so far. Struga is trying hard to win today's match.It seems that Žalgiris team will score a goal anytime. From the beginning of the game, Žalgiris started the game very well. If there is no goal between the two teams today, today's match is very likely to be a draw.
This is the second leg and whether the match in this second leg has the same final result as in the first leg which only ended in a goalless 0-0 draw, and if that happens then the match will go to extra time or maybe to penalties. Although, Zalgiris has better stats but in fact, in the first leg also Zalgiris had good stats but the result was a goalless draw. So yes, they are not a top team so, winning only in statistics is certainly still not a guarantee for Zalgiris to win over Struga in this match.
Pep Guardiola is an amazing manager. Their success in this regard is already enough to tell us this. The fact that they won the triple trophy with Manchester City last year proved this once again. They left one of the biggest tournaments in Europe and one of the biggest in the world as champions. He will probably continue to coach at Manchester City unless he wants to leave Manchester City anymore.
Manchester city will do everything possible to keep pep Guardiola because if they can lose him, it will be very difficult for them to get a coach like Guardiola again, no one expected him to win three trophy for Manchester city last season, he just showed us how talented he his and am sure pep Giardiola will want to repeat the same thing next season, I know it will be difficult for him to do that but I still trust him, he might end up winning three trophies for Manchester city next season again. Guardiola lose some players which might affect him a little bit, but I know he will be able to amend and he has perfect replacement for the players that left already so let’s hope things go well for him in the coming season.

Manchester City must appreciate Pep Guardiola more than anything, he has succeeded in writing new history for Manchester City that no other coach who has handled Manchester City has been able to do. What he has given to Manchester City is more than expected, Guardiola not only gave Manchester City the first UCL title, but he also made Manchester City able to win the treble winner.A big challenge awaits Guardiola because Manchester City will try to defend the UCL title this season, it is not easy for Guardiola to return to the UCL title in a row, especially since this season the competition in the UCL is fiercer than the previous season.

Pep Guardiola will always find support financially from the owners of Manchester City if it is his aim to build a squad. Manchester City has become the most frightening team in Europe, it's because of the quality of the players and the strategy of the coach.

Pep Guardiola has the capacity to form a great team, even though he is getting older but his ideas in implementing strategies are getting more skilled and creative. So it is suitable for both old and young players. Currently, the composition of Manchester City players is in a favorable condition, considering that other clubs are almost in a transition phase so that Manchester City's stable advantages can be put to good use. For preparations for next season, everything will continue according to Pep Guardiola's plan, despite the loss of several important players, with financial support he can buy a worthy replacement. 
Less than 1 hour for the match between zalgiris vs struga to start.
Bookies are still favoring zalgiris to win the game against struga. It's caused by zalgiris has more experience compared with struga playing in UCL. This match is still very difficult to predict. I think that struga has more potential to win the game compared with zalgiris even though bookies were favoring zalgiris to win the game. It's caused by struga's performance in the first leg was very good in holding zalgiris with draw as the final result. It's very risky to pick a club in this match but the odds are also very interesting though.
I think that struga potentially to win against zalgiris as long as the club will be performing the same like first leg.

I actually agree with some people saying that Newcastle's performance started to look strong last season but if we talk about the champions league I don't think Newcastle will be that strong.
One thing we have to remember that the champions league is a very strong competition from big clubs like Bayern munchen, Real madrid, PSG and even rival club Manchester city.
It is very difficult for Newcastle to be able to compete and beat the club and reach the semifinals, unless Newcastle can bring in a star player with very strong talent

I think Newcastle has all the conditions to be able to win the champions league title and they just have to maintain their consistency to win every game. So as long as we really try to achieve it all then history will be created.
I'm wondering what Manchester United will do in the Champions League this time. They couldn't join the Champions League last season and their achievement in the 2021/22 season was to qualify for last 16. At least a similar achievement would be expected from them I guess. Because they have made a really good progress with Erik ten Hag so far.
His system is working really well for now and they are trying to support this by new transfers. Mount has been signed and the Onana deal is also about to be completed. Rashford has also signed a new contract with them finally which lasts until 2028. It is important for them as well because it was going to be his last year otherwise.
Rashford is a crucial player for them to be successful and they should focus on not losing such players as well.

The draw of the playoff rounds will decide everything (which they should get into without any problems) - they can go far if they come across regular teams, but can end their participation in the tournament if they get one of the top ones right away in 1/8. I hope that at least in the group stage they will perform confidently and I will not lose a lot of points on them, as it was in the last Premier League pool.
@KTChampions Manchester United have finally secured their keeper and his experience of playing in the champions league finals will help them a lot hence I now expect them to compete harder in the champions league. @CL563 who told Rashford is leaving because he’s close to agreeing a new deal and last season he rejected PSG offers hence I’m sure that he’ll stay at the club and continue scoring lots of goal’s.

I have always envied pep courage and strategy to always succeed in his fast attacks, and that is something have noticed about him, is that he does not give up and that spirit has made him who he is now, going to watch football sometimes you here fans insulting and complaining about either the coach or the players whenever they lose a game and forgetting that it is actually not easy as the fans think, the pressure is just too much on them, even to some extent pep deserves some good credit. pep is not making plenty of moves during this transfer window and when it comes to decision making I always trust Pep to make the best decision.
