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.

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.

It is another reasonable aspect to look at the situation of course. The beginning of a season can always be full of surprises. It is all up to Okan Buruk's preparing his players well for this. He should make sure of his players' knowing the seriousness level of these qualification matches. As long as the team are fully concentrated there shouldn't be any problem.

If we watch a strong team in every way then I'm still behind what I said about Galatasaray. They can reach the last qualification stage easily in that case. However if they face teams such as PSV, Braga and so on in that stage we will find out the real strength of this team.

Newcastle have not been in the Champions League for a long time, this season they come because of their performance last season, I don't think they will immediately compete in the UCL because this is an elite competition, even Man city, Real Madrid and other big teams are still difficult to face this competition, so I don't think Newcastle will go further, but by entering the UCL means they have shown quality.

Just enjoy their journey in the UCL until where this team will go, I wonder in the group stage draw sometimes here also if they are put together in another big group it will be difficult especially if there are Bayern, Madrid, Man City or Barcelona.

Based on the arrangement on ground, show that Manchester united will do wonders in this season to lift many titles because their coach is still bring in potential players that can add value to the team, so that they will achieve some of the titles they couldn't achieve before. Erik Ten Hag has made a good contribution to Manchester united, that will make their president to allow the coach to do better by allow him to use any amount of money to sign in players that will handle their position very well in a way they will maintain a good points through out the season. Rashford is among the top players in Manchester united that is receiving highest paid salary, because he has done well in the past and he is very ready to perform well in this season.

We should not jump to conclusions because there have been many improbable things happen in the world of football. Never underestimate average less valuable clubs; they are capable of winning any title as long as they put in the effort and have luck at their disposal. Newcastle are a competitive club in the English Premier League, despite the fact that no one recognized the club until last season, when the appointment of a new manager, Eddie Howe, changed everything completely about the club. Checking their statistics, they have improved significantly, and I'm looking forward to watching the magpies in the Champions League next season.

That is certainly true, some of these teams are a lot better than the teams they are playing against which means that it's like a friendly where you try your new players and you end up with seeing how they would play in those positions and do what they are asked or not.

That is sort of like what they are there for in the friendly games as well but the difference is that you do not work on your conditioning and match shape when you are doing that, it is not going to be that simple and you are going to end up with a bit of a trouble if you focus just on that. We should be focusing on some players that end up with a lot of training before the game and you should be hoping that there will be some sort of great tactical improvement instead.

At the moment, Manchester City will not cancel the contract with Guardiwala and Guardiwala will not join any other team except this well-built team. It took a lot of planning and hard work for Manchester City to win the Champions League trophy. Manchester City manager's success did not come so quickly. When Manchester City was in the quarter finals of the Champions League this season, Guardiwala said that if he could not win the Champions League trophy this season. His football career failed and he eventually managed to win the Champions Leap Trophy at Manchester City. Both Arsenal and Chelsea have good quality players but lack of experienced managers in their team. If these two teams are appointed with good quality managers, this team will surely succeed in the Champions League.

Well, let's see if Marcus Rashford and Manchester United, led by Ten Hag, will not repeat the syndrome of the second season, when the team cannot repeat the successful previous season. To a greater extent, this applies to Rashford, although it seems that he is not so young and should already have an idea how to show the season at least as good as the previous season. I don't expect any special feats from MU in the Champions League. I expect that the club will throw all its strength to gain a foothold among the leaders of the Premier League.

Rashford is truly a crucial player for Manchester United and I get the impression sometimes that he’s being relied upon a whole lot in their games and this could put some pressure on him.
I too am wondering how Man United would fare playing in the champions league. They’ve got really good players to actually compete and have a chance at the title but it’s difficult for me to visualize them winning the cup. Under Ten Hag, they’ve seen some good improvements and I hope they wouldn’t be eliminated early on in the competition. I think Casemiro is also instrumental in their games and would greatly support the squad in their quest for the Champions League trophy.

Newcastle has to be dreaming of they think they can win the Premier league or the Champions League. They did well last season but their best can't get them those titles because we have very strong contenders for the titles next season. The champions league has Manchester city looking to defend their title as they did to teg premier league. Manchester city has teg squad and a well experience managers to defend the titles. Although Manchester city has been selling players recently beyt they still have players that are caoabyof playing good football for Pep Guardiola. The premier league won't be Manchester city prize next season because clubs like Arsenal has learnt their lession and making iuo for their mistakes.

Newcastle should just play their best football and try advancimg in both competitions they they'll be playing in so the money they'll received will be higher. I know they don't need money since they're a very rich club but they should forget about the highest prize in the league they're playing in which is the Premier league and the champions league. They can focused on winning the minor cups titles like the FA cup and EFL (caraboa cup). They can use those trophies as compensation if they play as well as they played last season and improve on that performance and become a very strong team this season.

That's why they say Guardiola is the coach who got a good chance to win the Champions League with Manchester City and was even expecting to see them having better performances in the past because of Guardiola in their team.
But in the next season, I think Real Madrid can be the stronger team to face Manchester City and I think Real Madrid got more chances again Guardiola in the next champions league.
 

Manchester United getting to only the round of 16 in the champions league wouldn't be considered a success to me.
They have all it takes to get the the semi finals, Quarter final at the very least.
If they succeed is signing Hojlund from Atalanta then their attack will be Rashford, Hojlund and Anthony. That is a pretty good attack, not as good as I'd like but that's a competitive attack.

A midfield of Casemiro, Bruno and Mount is also not a bad one. Then they have Varane and Martinez as center backs. Manchester United doesn't have a bad team.
What they lack is squad depth and I believe the club is still trying to get two more player to join the team and strengthen the squad.

Newcastle were able to compete in the top spots of EPL although they don't have top players like the other clubs. The market value of the team is like the half of Manchester City, United or Arsenal, yet they figured out how to play good together.
Eddie Howe managed well the club. There is few rumours about other players potentially coming to Newcastle, most of them are young. Newcastle are looking for the medium term in order to get EPL or Champions League title if possible.

I don't think that's enough to say they will spend too much money on Newcastle, I know the owner of Newcastle are rich and they have enough money to buy the best players in the world for their team because we saw how Saudi teams spend money in this season.
Since Newcastle is going to be in the next champions league, I think if the NBewcastlw owners want to spend money for this team, now is the best time when they need more investment in their team to race in the Champions League.

I'll tell you what I think. You know how in chess, when you lose your queen, the game becomes ten times harder? That's what Manchester City is facing now. Players like Mahrez, Silva, Walker are leaving, Gundogan has joined Barcelona, it's a bit like a bee hive that's lost its queen.

Yes, I know Pep Guardiola can bring in new players according to his system. He's got the finances for it. But, is the system everything? I don't think so. Defending the UCL title is like trying to win a lottery twice, very few have done it. So, despite their competent team squad and Pep's tactical brilliance, I'm a bit skeptical about their chances this time around.

Everyone can attest to Pep's brilliance in the way he has handled Manchester city and won the champions league that almost seemed impossible for an English side to win.
One phenomenal aspect of his style is his ability to bring out the best in players, that they hardly want to leave.

What I have been meaning to ask is if Pep were to be signed by another English side, like Arsenal or Chelsea, would he assuredly perform at best or would he fumble because of management managing funds?

It is vital to be concerned and make some changes because that is what he is paid to do. He's the type of coach who doesn't hide his emotions even on the pitch when the team is struggling; he doesn't wait for the players to leave the pitch before correcting them; he does it right on the pitch, and I like him for it.
Pep is well aware of his priorities during this transfer window, and he is taking the necessary steps for the team. Manchester City, in my opinion, is still one of the finest teams in Europe and will do well in the next season champions league games.

Pep Guardiola is surely one of the greatest managers to have ever graced the beautiful game of football and the way he does handle his team is absolutely phenomenal.
Manchester City management has always trusted his managerial experience and abilities from the first day he became the manager of the side and has given him every financial support that's needed to build the team to the level it is now. Pep Guardiola has repaid the trust and support of his employer by winning major silverwares over the last 5 years he's managed them

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.
