Classically Manchester City is a contender for the Champions League and EPL titles by default. What makes this easy to happen is the fact that the other teams are playing poorly. Let's start with Manchester United bad debut, Liverpool out of its normal shape, Bayern Munich and PSG aren't that competitive, Real Madrid wasn't playing as they used to do, Barcelona failed bad in European competitions altogether... That was like a direct road to the titles. Even the Italian clubs weren't successful in stopping City.
Did you wanna say if city was lucky enough caused by another team performed poorly during last season? i can't even agree with you. What about arsenal? You are only taking MU and Liverpool while arsenal played so perfect since early of season.
I can't even agree with you. The fact that if it's not all of clubs were playing so badly. Some clubs even make impressive performance during last season. The main reason if manchester city was reaching its peak performance last season.
There is also a chance for chelsea to repeat the same thing again next season. So many clubs have been trying so hard to prevent city.
Even city has been facing the difficult way to win UCL last season but city was over power last season. I just tell you this if the domination by city may continue till next season.

Victor Osimhen has been a speculation for PSG as well. Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis made a statement that PSG could even be the only team to afford him now. Their asking price is believed to be around 150 million euros now. He says that they can evaluate the offer seriously if PSG offer around 200 million euros.

Even if PSG meet only the asking price I don't feel like they are likely to find an opponent in this race at that level. It is all up to whether PSG really see him as priority.
I think Osimhen is a perfect striker for PSG and he will be useful for PSG even that team start a new season with or without Mbappe. With Osimhen, PSG will have a good striker who will bring many goals for their team and more than that, he will be able to support Mbappe (if Mbappe stays) and other players by his readiness to do proactively defense at the frontline.

If anyone needs examples for his readiness to do that, look at his performance in Champions League matches with Leipzig. Even when Napoli led with big goal difference, Osimhen still chased the ball around the box of Leipzig.

What's interesting and Pep is that he never tried to prohibit or roughly free the players to make a choice whether he would leave or not.
This proves that he is one of those coaches who is quite confident regardless of their players leaving because he is aware of the capacity of the players and he is confident that the training schemes and processes he has are so good that even if some players leave he can still get a decent replacement even better.
This is one of the positive things that Pep has and this is precisely what makes him one of the coaches who can get good performance and become one of the best coaches today.
Yes that's true, apart from having a firm and confident attitude Guardiola has also analyzed his players long ago. So far Ikay Gundogan, who was released to Barcelona on a free transfer, has also been anticipated by Pep Guardiola. Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic can replace the roles left by Gundogan. In terms of age, Gundogan is no longer young and Pep cannot guarantee him a place in the main squad for Man City next season. I think this is one of the factors why Pep doesn't hold back players who want to leave Man City. On the other hand, Man City and Guardiola are more fortunate in this case because they are the club that every player wants, especially after winning the Treble Winner last season.

Next season Man City is still a strong candidate and in defending their championship, both in the EPL and Champions League they are still in the favorite position as the strongest team next season.
The coach must be firm, but at the same time the coach must also have a sense of family and nurture his players. It doesn't have to be excessive but at least make the player feel comfortable when working with a coach. Things like this seem simple, but it is precisely that simplicity that makes many ignored, even though when it can be done it will have a very positive impact on all elements of the player.
They must be able to distinguish in what circumstances they must be firm and in what circumstances they must blend in to create a close sense of family within the squad.

As far as I know PSG have decided to play heavy and will probably sign Victor Osimen
next year he will have a very performing team, who knows what to do in the Champions League, by the way did he qualify for the Champions League?
I do not remember
Why next year but not this year?

PSG likely will lose Mbappe in this summer as they can not convince or force him to sign a new contract and they don't want to lose him as a free player next year. So the only option is selling him in this summer and when they sell him, they will have money. It together with their needs to find alternatives for both Messi and Osimhen, will give them enough big reasons to buy the Nigierian striker.

Will they bring both Osimhen and Kravatskhelia to Paris to replace Messi and Mbappe?

I think they wanted to mean the coming season by saying next year. The new season hasn't started yet in the end.

Victor Osimhen has been a speculation for PSG as well. Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis made a statement that PSG could even be the only team to afford him now. Their asking price is believed to be around 150 million euros now. He says that they can evaluate the offer seriously if PSG offer around 200 million euros.

I think the target of reaching the last 16 of the champions league feels very realistic for Newcastle, especially since they haven't been in Europe's highest competition for so long. I think Eddie Howie knows very well what they need in order to survive until that round and go through every match that is there with a win. Maybe it will be his first achievement as a Newcastle coach if he can reach that stage and if he fails to take Newcastle to that stage, he will still be able to try again at another time if he still has the same squad as now. Now Newcastle's focus remains the same, namely maintaining the top 4 in the domestic league and of course bringing this team much better in the champions league, it requires extraordinary energy and mind.
At least for almost 20 years, Newcastle did not have the opportunity to compete in the Champions League and last season managed to qualify for the top 4 in the Premier League which made them have a Champions League ticket so that this golden opportunity was impossible to waste Eddie Howie must have prepared carefully for the Champions League because you can see that last season Newcastle got the top 4 of the Premier League so it is still very likely that Newcastle will also qualify for the top 16 of the 2023/24 Champions League season.
We'll just have to wait and see if Newcastle can really live up to expectations or get knocked out before entering the last 16.

Yes, Manchester city coach is doing a great job that is giving the fans joy and he is ready to do more so that he will help the team to be consistent in winning the champion league title every season, which is possible based on the potential players he brought to the team. I think, next season will be a tough season to all the teams because all the teams are working seriously to bring in new talented players in this summer to withstand the strong teams in the champion league competition, and Manchester city coach too is seriously working to ensure they maintain a good position through out the tournament. Erling Haaland has done well in this season, I believe he will still perform well next season in a way he will help the team to achieve more goals that will bring victory to the team.
unfortunately Man City lost Gundogan, but luckily PSG were turned down when they wanted to bring in Bernardo Silva. if Pep lost a lot of players in his squad last season, it could be bad for their form this season. but I'm sure Pep has considered everything well. some names are leaving, but some names are also coming. the competition in the EPL will be interesting as well as the strong teams that qualify for the UCL.
There is no limits to what Pep Guardiola can achieve considering his coaching talent and ability. He won the trebble last season and will want to double his champions league winning next season,he will be considering winning it back to back which I see being possible because nothing is impossible for Pep.They have lost Gundogan and might lose Bernardo Silva in this season's transfer window,but one thing I know about Pep is that he always know how to get the right players for his team,therefore replacing them will not really be a big task for him.Haaland did tremendously well last season and will want to continue that form again this season,but it might be very tough for him because premier league defenders will be out fully for him to put him on a long goal drought. Premier league defenders are known for doing that to good attackers,but let's see if it can be possible in the case of Haaland.

Names are leaving and I am sure names are coming also. Guardiola knows how to let a player go because he knows how to replace the player. You will think that the player that left is the best anyone can have but he will bring even a better player.
The vision of Manchester City is to win the Champions League back to back. It is possible because they have all it takes, the difference was they never won. Now they have won I think he will master how to continue winning

Manchester City have finally achieved their first ever Champions League title. Guardiola's system has finally worked out and and brought the title to them. However we are just starting. Now the question is whether they can maintain the same effort next season also. Truthfully they don't need to make many any change in their lineup that's for sure.

Because they already have a great starting eleven. Now they are just looking for making the squad depth reach a higher level not to have problems about player choices.

Gvardiol and Pavard might be the names to be added to the squad in the coming days according to news.

Manchester City is currently in their best shape and they are in a situation in which I can say Guardiola can even help his team to win the champions league for another time because Manchester City right now got everything they need.
They got a star like Haaland in their team and a coach like Guardiola who knows how to win this tournament.

Newcastle still need time to strengthen their mentality in the UCL. With this busy schedule, it can affect their performance in all leagues. Maybe they don't have any targets for the UCL this season, but being able to compete in the UCL is already the best experience to prepare for the next UCL. With financial strength, Newcastle will probably start preparing when they can become EPL champions. Because, if Newcastle can become EPL Champions, there will be a lot of top players who will be easier to sign.

One beauty about the UEFA Champions League is that it is the home of surprises and upsets. Newcastle can pull up a surprise in the champions league next season and surprise many punters of the game. I believe the Newcastle United team goal is to reach the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. I believe Eddie Howe can achieve that

Callum Wilson has been amazing last season and i dont see a reason honestly to change him or get a new striker to replace him. For champions league they need new players but not on the striker position. Midfield and defence players are needed so they can at least pass the group.
In terms of defense, Newcastle United will be sufficiently focused next season. So it's only natural that they are chasing some tough defenders in this transfer window. Even recently, it was reported that Newcastle United had reached an oral agreement with Disasi. What we know is that Disasi is a tough defender who can help Newcastle United next season. For now, it is reported that Newcastle United will continue to make every effort to get Alex Disasi because he is also a target for Manchester United.

From the midfield, it is likely that Tonali arrival will be a breath of fresh air for Eddie Howe to help him in European competition. For this reason, Newcastle United is the most active team in this season's transfer window. I think some players will be brought in by Newcastle United management, moreover, they have fresh enough finances to build a club in this transfer window.

Manchester City had a good season last season and we saw how things turned out well form them say they won trophies and ended the season in a grand style but it is too early to consider the team as a team that may go all the way to win the champions league again irrespective of the coach they have rather I think they have a good opportunity of winning the English Premier league again next season because the opposition teams are not bringing in players that can fight to take City out of the first position.

Actually i personally not so surprised about Newcastle being able to finish in the top four, because in fact Newcastle has very good progress and it has been seen at least from the previous season too, where Newcastle managed to avoid and stay away from the relegation zone. But yes, considering Newcastle will get a more solid schedule next season, then Newcastle should recruit top players and to prepare for the second player who also at least must have good quality too. Because if Newcastle do not prepare well in this transfer window, then i sure maybe Newcastle will be chaotic situation later for example failing in the Champions League but failing also to compete in the top four in the English Premier League.
I think newcastle united managed to take advantage of the imbalance of other teams last season so that they were really able to master every game consistently. By looking at the depth of the current squad, additional quality players are really needed because their schedule for next season will be more packed than last season. For now I think Newcastle United are strong enough looking at the depth of their squad but to compete in the Champions League they need to overhaul more aggressively the depth of their squad and bring in players who are full of experience in the Champions League.

Newcastle United still rely on Callum Wilson as their main sticker for next season because he returned to his best form last season. Moreover, Newcastle united has also managed to get Tonali who will be an additional strength for them to compete in the Champions league next season.

Callum Wilson has proven beyond every reasonable doubt that he's one of the best strikers in the English Premier League and I think he deserves to play in the UEFA Champions League competition come next season for Newcastle after his impressive form for the Magpies lady season.
That been said, Newcastle having qualified to play in the European Cup next season will be given more tasks than they faced last season. So it'll a wise decision for the club to get another world class striker that'll work alongside Wilson and help the club win major honours come next season

I have high hopes for Newcastle next season but I don't think they can compete for the EPL title. They will most likely be too four contenders but that's the highest I feel they can achieve in the league. They have the resources to build a league winning team but it won't be done overnight and I respect the project they're building. The kind of players the sign are players that fit into their project.

As for the champions league, the fact that they've been a way from it isn't really a factor to determine how far they'll go. If they have the squad for it and the coach for it then they will go far, but sadly they don't. I don't have any high expectations from them in the champions league.
Agree. Newcastle is already a long time not participating in UCL and their squad looks not enough to compete for the title. Although it is not impossible for Newcastle to reach the final round, but it seems a very small chance. Sure, they should take time to improve their squad again and try to always join UCL if they expect for winning the title. However, I really appreciate that Newcastle can join UCL this season, no one must believe in the early of the last season that Newcastle can finish in the UCL zone.

Agree. Newcastle also doesn't have an experienced coach in UCL. UCL isn't an easy competition, it is where all strongest clubs competing together for the title. It will be harder than the competition in EPL.
