It didn't take long for Manchester City to find a replacement for Gundogan, Kovacic having been officially announced as part of their squad after signing a four year contract. Losing Gundogan will not affect Manchester City appearance next season, there are still many other talented players that Guardiola can rely on in all fronts.
Manchester City has been formed as a strong team and the players already understand each other very well, the depth of Manchester City will continue to increase along with the arrival of new players. Guardiola is not satisfied with the treble winner won last season, he will lead Manchester City to repeat success in the following season.

The final result was 7-1. I can't even imagine if Breiðablik will be dominating the match. It was destroying penne with huge scores. As far as i know that if Breiðablik will be facing be buducnost.
The winner between Breiðablik against buducnost gonna go to the first qualifying round of UCL.

It's a bit difficult to know which team that's gonna win the game but i think that if i will prefer to take buducnost as my main choice.
Penne's performance was the worst. It can't even make more than two goals against Breiðablik. It's a very bad result for penne.

Breiðablik has displayed amazing performance today because they were successfully to humiliated Tre Penne with huge scores 7-1 that after conceded 3 goals in the first half Tre Penne looks cannot able to develop their game especially in the second half Tre Penne players looks not focus and only in 33 minutes Breiðablik can added more 4 goals which make Tre Penne have to satisfied to lose at their home ground and after this result Breiðablik will fight on Saturday against Buducnost Who had already defeated Atlètic d'Escaldes with scores of 3-0 yesterday and i feel like Breiðablik possibly will resumes their awesome performance and beat Buducnost and if my prediction is true they will advances to first qualification of champion league next month

Tre Penne vs Breiðablik today match between two teams in UEFA Champions League. Enjoyed a very nice game. Breiðablik played very well from the beginning to the end of the game. H. Gunnlaugsson scored the first goal in the first 6 minutes of the game. And the 2nd goal.  A.  Hlynsson in 25 minutes. Tre Penne played so bad in the game that I didn't expect. Tre Penne scored 1 goal in 31 minutes in this match. Goalkeeper of Tre Penne team played very bad for which Tre Penne lost by so many goals.

Possibility with more excited offering from Barcelona made Pep Guardiola unable to stop Gundogan leave Manchester City in this season, but come and go some players  have been unusual in football teams and they can rebuilding with new player and new formation. Pep Guardiola has sign Mateo Kovačić for replacing Gundogan position and seems very good replacement due consistency from Kovačić with Chelsea on last season. Mateo Kovačić can play well as holding or attacking midfielder and seems best choose for Pep Guardiola sign him can play on several midfielder position for Manchester City.

Its can't stop Manchester City for defense their Champion League tittle for next season although leaving by Gundogan, still have Kevin De Bruyne and actually Haaland its the most important player for Manchester City won treble last season.

Gundogan is like Lewandowski and they wanted to experience tiki-taka at its origin, Barcelona. They both grew up in Dortmund and had some seasons with Pep Guardiola, Lewandowski worked with Pep in Bayern Munich and Gundogan worked with Pep in Manchester City. I don't know Gundogan asked for advice from his ex-team-mate Lewandowski about Barcelona before he accepts their offer but I guess it is attractive to play in Barcelona if a player loves tiki-taka.

Gundogan improved a lot in the last season and scored many goals for Manchester City. He will help young midfielders in Barcelona like Gavi and Pedri as they need to learn how to play attacking more directly and make more distant shots like Gundogan.

De Bruyne plays at a different position than Gundogan and I don't think Pep will use De Bruyne to replace Gundogan. The midfielder will miss some early months of a new season by the injury he got from the Champions League final match. Pep and Manchester City even have to plan to replace De Bruyne in next few seasons.

Pep Guardiola is unable to stop IIkay Gundogan from leaving the Etihad Stadium, even though the squad and fans will miss him. He's the ideal midfield partner for Kelvin De Bruyne; he chose Barcelona over City; let him go and write a new chapter in his career. Pep signed Kovacic from Chelsea, a good defensive midfielder capable of making strong runs and creating chances for goal scoringopportunities. He will fit right in with Pep Guardiola's game plan; after all, the Croatian has been in the Premier League for years and knows exactly how everything works.

Gundogan's transfer to Barcelona allowed me to reflect on his decision to join the club despite Manchester City's desire to keep him. He could want to try another league in a new setting and see how it feels. He's still an energetic and good midfielder, and he'll undoubtedly strengthen Barcelona's midfield, but he's already created an opening that Manchester City must fill as quickly as possible. With Barcelona's current squad depth, he might win the La Liga with them before his contract expires.

It must be proven in the pre match. We can start to judge whether joselu will able to adapt with real madrid's player style or not after we will be seeing his performance in the pre match. Even though pre march can't be considered as a reliable measurement but it can at least give us a small insight about how good joselu's performance once la liga will be starting. So many people were still distrusting him even though he has been getting good achievement last season by finishing in the top three of top scorers in la liga.
I hope that joselu will able to perform even better once he will be playing together with madrid.

This is now a gambling by real madrid caused by madrid paid nothing to get him. His salary is also very small.

Kovacic is a worthy replacement for gundogan. This guy is having a lot of experience in playing as midfielder. City has signed him as a backup once gundogan will be leaving from manchester city and it's now happening. I see no reason for manchester city to use rice instead of kovacic to fill gundogan's position right now.

Kovaci will become a better option to play in gundogan's position rather than try to be replaced by de bruyne. I think that will not even suit for KDB to fill gundogan's position. Manchester city is still trying to get more players. One of these players are declan rice which was also able filling gundogan's position.

Indeed, there are many stock players that Pep Guardiola can rely on in the midfield. However, Pep Guardiola believes that Gundogan departure is a loophole that must be fixed immediately by bringing in other players. That was evident after Kovacic was brought in where he would be the player to close the gap left by Gundogan.

Manchester city is a big team and they don't depend on one player. That's because there are many players who have better quality so that it will make it easier for Pep Guardiola to build a squad without losing balance after Gundogan leaves.

Kovacic might have been on Guardiola's wish list for a while or maybe otherwise they would have tried harder to convince Gudogan of staying in Manchester City. But while there are similarities between the two players, there are also some differences I think. For example, I would say that Kovacic plays harder, a more physical style in his defensive part of the game and he is definitely not as dangerous in and around the opponent's box. Gundogan has turned into a hidden striker in the most important games of the season. But Kovacic could be stronger in his defensive game and especially in the air with his head (for what it's worth).

In fact, the market for elite strikers is not so wide, and in light of the fact that Real Madrid seems to have abandoned the idea of getting Harry Kane, then there remains the candidacy of Killian Mbappe, with whom certain difficulties have arisen in this transfer window. There are rumors that Real Madrid has agreed with the player that if the transfer cannot be done now, then it should happen next summer. However, I would not advise Real Madrid to rely heavily on such layouts, because not everything is decided by the player himself, but rather by his mother and we must remember how such an oral agreement between the player and the club ended last time. Money rules the world, and Mbappe's mom probably wouldn't mind taking 150 million from PSG next season, and then arrange an auction between those who want to get a player.

I think the Manchester City armband will go to Kevin De Bruyne next season because he was vice-captain last season. It looks like Kovacic is the right signing for Manchester City to fill the gap left by Gundogan. Kovacic is a player who has almost the same character as Gundogan where he is the right option for Kevin De Bruyne next season.

Manchester city is a big team and that's the words of kovacic, I think he is quite proud to join manchester city moreover he will play in the Champions league next season of course this will be quite special for kovavic to show the quality he has with Manchester City in next season.

Kevin De Bruyne will replace Ilkay Gundogan who moved to Barcelona. De Bruyne will be Manchester City's main captain next season, but Pep Guardiola may still be hoping for a worthy replacement.

Pep Guardiola has signed possible Mateo Kovacic for Ilkay Gundogan's replacement. Kovacic is also good at providing stability in midfield, he can help Rodri and De Bruyne in midfield. Pep Guardiola has many options in midfield, so Manchester City's form next season shouldn't fall apart.

I'm sure they have a lot of options to put in the midfield. They can evaluate one of them and make up for Gundogan's absence. As for the team captain, I think it is no longer as important as it used to be. İlkay leaves, someone else becomes captain and Manchester City continues to win, I don't think anything will change.

I won't comment much on what Don Carlo is doing for now. at least, he knew what he was planning in his project.  what is certain, Los Blancos brought in Joselu to face competition next season. because, Real Madrid was pressured to immediately bring in a new striker after the departure of Karim Benzema. because finding the main target is difficult, Madrid tries to find other options first that are easy to get. actually, as we know that Joselu is not a foreign name in Madrid. he used to be part of Real Madrid Castiila or Los Blancos' reserve team.

I think Ancelotti was not careless when he chose Joselu, apart from being easy to get because Espanyol were relegated, the player is a sharp striker and has experience requirements. it could be that what Don Carlo is doing is the first step if they don't find an alternative player who fits the criteria to be Benzema's successor, despite the Mbappe rumours. but it could also be, that Don Carlo will bring in a striker who is far more outstanding as Karim Benzema's successor. after all, the summer transfer window still has time for Ancelotti to improve his squad to make it more competitive. whoever is a Real Madrid centre-forward, we will know and see how they play. it could also be, Joselu will give his best game if he has the support and services of his team-mates.

Manchester City's losing Gundogan is of course not good as he was their captain at the same time. However this isn't the end of the world for them either. I don't expect this news to affect their Champions League performance much next time. Besides Manchester City are one of the most influential teams in Europe right now.

It shouldn't be very difficult for them to fill his place with a solid midfielder. Besides I will be expecting them to get even stronger in the Champions League next time. Because they have already started to be active in the transfer market. Recently they are trying to complete the signing of Gvardiol to consolidate the defense highly.

Actually, it's preliminary qualifying round, first qualifying round will start after 2 weeks.
And today's games are going as es expexted. Buducnost won easy 3:0 against Atletic Escalades from Andorra, Breidabik is leading Tre Penn 3:1 at halftime. As I said somewhere in other topic, I see Breidabik as favorites to win this qualification.

Despite being 33 years old, we can say that this year has been productive. He also plays for the Spanish national team and could be a good substitute for Real Madrid. The need for a striker like Haaland still continues. They have to bring in a world-class forward. Benzema is gone and alternatives are scarce.
