We already know Manchester City's champions league performance and they have been performing at a top level every year. I don't expect a good performance from Manchester United again. They are not good enough for the champions league. I want Newcastle to surprise. Because I don't want the same teams to succeed in the champions league all the time. I want new teams like Newcastle to show themselves in the champions league and achieve success.

There are 4 teams that will represent the Premier League in the Champions League, namely Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle. Among the 4 teams above, I can say that Arsenal and Manchester City are teams that tend to be more stable. I'm not looking down on Newcastle and Manchester United, but Arsenal and Manchester City are two teams that I think have a higher chance of surprising again next season.

I expected Manchester City to come back to a second final in two seasons in a row, but of course it is very difficult because there are many other teams who will be hoping for the same place in the Champions League.

But it looks like only Manchester City have a good chance of going further in the Champions League next season, because for Arsenal and Newcastle i still can't be completely sure. So yes, although the English Premier League teams have a big change and turnover of money in this transfer market, but this certainly still does not guarantee the English Premier League teams to be able to consistently in the Champion League. Thus, of course, teams like Bayern Munich and maybe PSG must be able to take good advantage of the situation. At least, they must also be more aggressive in bringing in new quality players in this transfer market, because then maybe Bayern Munich and PSG will be able to have a chance to get to the Champions League final match next season.

PSG will really struggle in their performance next season since they have not been able to get quality players that will replace the position of Mbappe and Messi, I'm not sure if Napoli is ready to give  out Osimhen out. If PSG succeeds in getting Osimhen it will help the team because Osimhen is the kind of player PSG needs right now.Arsenal signing experience players will really boost the performance of the team, Arteta needs to consider this  as he is bringing young players into the club. Signing young players is good but it can be risky to depend on these players thinking that they will give the best performance for the the club.

The English teams that are going to the champions league Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle will be very competitive and will do better than last season. Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester United will give teams from other leagues a competition this time, but teams like Real Madrid will always be dominant in this competition because of their vast experience of winning it. English teams are getting prepared to try to win the champions league with the number of players that they are signing that will make their team stronger.

Most of the time we have competitive sides from English Premier League, but mostly they fail to have anything good in top games even in last season Manchester City win now we have more competitive sides with Arsenal and Manchester United both are bringing new blood for better results which is going to be interesting.

With mostly teams are doing good in England but in other countries are having finances issues which are preventing them from having quality players which is also good advantage going with them but as we have new season all will be clear who is going to be fight for the title as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid could be again tough, but these English sides are surely going to have good hold on this next season with their quality and performance.

Here I am really pissed of about Tottenham's Chairman mindset because they know Harry Kane is having last season here at this club with next season he could be free agent and Bayern Munich is also increasing their bid as they are desperate to sign him which surely increase their front and also chances for the win of Champions League, but they are missing this opportunity and insisting their £100million big which is surely not going to fill at the end of day.

But many are hoping for the positive end of this war between Tottenham and Bayern Munich because all know Harry Kane is also wanted to leave this club for the better end of his career as he is after spending long time here at Tottenham have no trophy in front of his name which is surely not justice for the player like him.

What Arsenal need to for bigger successes is to keep increasing the squad quality but not sign only young players. They need some experienced older players as well who can lead the team to a better direction. Arteta can keep things under control until one point with a very young team. This kind of teams always tend to making simple mistakes and have problems on dealing with it shortly. We saw a great example of it in the last times of the Premier League in the previous season.

For example they have spent an unbelievable amount of money on Declan Rice transfer - 105 million pounds. He is talented maybe but this deal still carries big risks. Maybe they could have used their budget more effectively to increase the number of experienced players as well.

The thing is, nobody else got any much better, and that's their trouble. I mean if we were talking about how City is good but X team got so much better this season so they could rival, then I would understand another option but looking at the transfers no other team got any closer to City as well.

The only thing that could hurt them is complacency, because they already made the treble, and they could win the domestic super cup, and uefa super cup, and then could win fifa club world cup, and that means six, and Pep did that before with Barcelona and "may" yet still do that with City as well. When you win that much, it may start to look like you are about to end up being a bit different and going to end up with not caring about it as much. That's their only risk.

We agree that if Bayern had Kane up front, this team would be far more productive than last season. at least, they have players who can be counted on as Target Man. that's why Tuchel really wanted to bring him to the Allianz Arena. So far, Tuchel and the Bayern management have remained adamant about bringing Kane to the German League.
As Romano reports, Bayern will be preparing a third bid for Spurs in which Levy is likely to be interested. with this situation, it seems that Bayern have a fairly ideal probability of negotiating with Spurs for Kane. let alone the rumours, Kane will only be in his last season with Spurs and will not sign a new contract. that means, the Spurs will release their assets with free agent status. I'm pretty sure this situation is not going to make Levy any better. so if the negotiations have an attractive offer, it is not impossible that in the end Harry Kane will join Bayern Munich in the 2023/2024 season.

Other rumors, Tuchel has a plan B if in the end he can't bring Kane. it's just that, their priority target is currently focused on the Spurs striker. I'm sure, if Kane plays with Bayern next season. Bayern's squad will be much more competitive and can compete in the Champions League competition with a competitive depth of players.

Instead of signing Osimhen for almost 200 million euros, I would prefer PSG to sign players who are cheaper but of equal quality. Osimhen is an important player for Napoli and his current price does not really guarantee his quality, it is a shield for Napoli to keep Osimhen.

I'm also not sure that PSG managed to persuade Mbappe to sign a new contract, but they will still try to convince Mbappe to stay. PSG will spend a lot of money for Mbappe to stay instead of spending a lot of money to find a replacement, that is clearly an option PSG is currently thinking about.

I was quite sure Astana will be lead in this match and things will be more interesting for the next leg match but sadly Astana performance in second half was not near their best which cost them now for the most probably exit from first round of this qualification.

Things were not bad for them in second half, but their conversation was not good which cost them in this match, and now they have to do hard job if they still want to meet Dinamo Zagreb in next round of this qualification but now most chances Dynamo Tbilisi will be not given them any chance for this because they are also doing good job and have fair opportunity for the next round qualification as their performance was also better in second half and they player good in these hard conditions.

I don't think there is anything lacking in the current PSG squad despite being left behind by Leonel Messi. What Enrique needs to fix is the team mentality and the ego of their star players like Mbappe. Seeing Mbappe's behavior towards a club that doesn't want to extend his contract shows the fact that he is typically a difficult player to manage and feels bigger than the club. I think Enrique and the PSG management will take a firm stand against Mbappe if they can't keep his attitude and ego in check.

I agree with you that coaches and new players certainly need time to adapt to each other. Building emotional relationships and chemistry is very necessary for a solid squad when competing. I think if Enrique succeeds in suppressing the ego and galvanizing the mentality of PSG's players next season then the UCL will soon be closer to them, an extraordinary achievement if it actually materializes. Who knows Enrique can emulate the luck of Pep Guardiola who won the Champions League last season with Man City.

That depends on what's gonna be final decision for mbappe. PSG is still trying to negotiate with mbappe regarding his future in the club. Instead of osimhen, PSG is now trying to approach vlahovic from juventus. Vlahovic much more cheaper compared with mbappe at this moment. I don't even think PSG will spend another €180 millions again to get osimhen from napoli. It sounds too good to be true. It's caused by PSG will not repeat the same mistake again.
The club is trying to use its budget efficiently. The decision regarding who's gonna be the new striker for PSG is not yet coming from enrique. Osimhen was a part of napoli and he will play UCL soon.
Napoli won scudetto.

If PSG want to succeed in the UCL this season, of course they have to get a good player for their front line to replace Messi's position and accompany Mbappe, even so, everything remains in the decision of the new PSG coach, Enrique, whether he really needs Osimhen in the PSG squad this season. this, we will see later, but I think PSG needs to adapt from a new coach to new players.

It takes time to adapt to new players as well as new coaches, that's why maybe we won't see PSG better than last season at the start of domestic league matches as well as the UCL championship later, in my eyes PSG is not a scary club in the UCL this season, I don't I'm sure they really made it this season. manchester city and Madrid will always be the favourites, Btw PSG qualified for the UCL this season

although there is news regarding the words of the Napoli president that only PSG can buy Osimhen. but for this season it seems that Napoli is reluctant to let go of the two players who have played well. both will remain at Napoli for at least the next season. that is why it is possible that PSG may perform poorly in the UCL this season because of course several players in the main squad have left.
but any possibility could still happen now. PSG have the money and it all depends on how they approach it.

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?

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

Arsenal are a different team with Arteta, especially in the last two seasons. Arteta has made Arsenal a very competitive team even though they have a relatively younger squad, but of course their winning mentality hasn't really taken shape. Arsenal can compete with any team in the Champions League, but I'm sure they won't win the title next season.

I also believe that Arsenal will have a good form in the Premier League next season, but again I have not been able to convince myself about Arsenal's possibility of winning the title. So I don't underestimate Arsenal either, but they won't win the title if this team doesn't have a good winning mentality next season.

Arsenal have been heavily criticized over the past few seasons, but Arteta is slowly showing and seems to be saying that he just needs a process that will improve the team's performance. I really understand that because indeed if a club wants to create a good team framework then the process will be long and maybe in the process it will be a lot of disappointment because it doesn't match expectations.
Last season he was able to display a neat game, even he could have led Arsenal to become Premier League champions if only they had not lost stability towards the end of the season.
Next season he should be able to work even better, because in the transfer market he brought in several players who could make a difference to their game even better.
Slowly but surely Arsenal found something that was missing from them a few years ago.
