We are well aware of what Manchester United experienced a few seasons ago, which had a very difficult time breaking into the Champions League zone, but that has all been answered with their presence later in the Champions League starting next season. I think Erik ten hag is the coach who answered all the previous failures of manchester united and with his one season coaching with manchester united he brought one of the trophy winners of this competition back to where it belongs.

There is no doubt that next season will be a busy season for most of the other big teams to compete for this title and for the red devils they will definitely try to perform optimally after several absences from the champions league. Currently, Manchester United still lacks a pure striker and with the current situation they will have quite a hard time competing with other clubs. Erik ten hag must immediately find an experienced striker to make it easier for Manchester United to break into his opponent's goal.

even though Newcastle only has ordinary players as what others here are saying but they were able to strengthen a solid formation and strong performance last season to get a ticket to the champions league. well, it may seem too early for Newcastle to be in the champions league to get the UCL title but I think Newcastle is starting to be inspired from Man City who surprisingly made new history to be able to become champions league champions.
nothing is impossible because Newcastle in this new season also got several new players who could strengthen their attacking line.

Tonali was crying like a baby. He said that if he is not wanna leaving from acmilan. He loves acmilan so much. He has been also explained if the directors of acmilan were forcing him to accept such offer from newcastle. Even his team mates were getting surprised about his transfer to the ac milan.

The new pirlo will be gone from acmilan. Im feeling that if this gonna be affecting his performance in the new club. It's caused by he doesn't wanna leave from the club.

He will be playing with a half of his heart in the new club. newcastle was making wrong decision by signing him as a new player for upcoming season.

Newcastle has made significant progress, so it would be premature to assume that they won't advance past the group stage. Even without adding new players, they have the potential to reach the knockout rounds if they are fortunate enough to not be placed in a particularly difficult group and are able to replicate their performance from the previous year. I am aware that they lack experience and that the league may be different from the Premier League, but if they continue in this vein, they will surprise everyone. In addition, they have their sights set on adding quality players to the team, like Chiesa, Tonalli, Maddison, and others. They are aware that if they want to compete seriously next season, they need players of this caliber.

Providing they continue the enthusiasm, determination, and motivation from the previous season, I have no doubt that they can pull off something amazing and surprise us in the champions league if they can sign these players. Their goal is to compete for the top four spots and be recognized among elite teams like Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United.



United has had some prior experiences, so if their group is not too tough, I believe they should be able to get to the knockout stages. United's transfers thus far haven't been particularly impressive, but if they can bolster their squad with more quality players, that would be beneficial. They also need to improve their form because last season they lacked consistency and were only fortunate enough to finish in the top four due to Chelsea and Liverpool's sudden resurgence.

Newcastle United can make big changes because their owner has strong enough financial strength so it's not too surprising that their target player is the best player that can be projected in the long term. Tonali is the first of the more popular names they will likely manage to sign in this transfer market. If we go into Tonali transfer, of course this was based on a bigger salary offer so that Tonali accepted their offer, as we know Tonali received twice the salary he received at ac milan. For Ac Milan they have again lost a player who is quite important in the depth of their squad, I admit they will experience many problems in the balance of the team next season if the new technical director cannot find the right replacement for this position. For Ac Milan, this is most likely a financial problem for them which makes them want to release their main players to other teams because we know the team's finances in Serie A have not been very good in recent seasons.

Oh, yes, I also noticed that Newcastle has already started playing big and is trying to sign enough high-profile players in this transfer window. By the way, the story of Tonali, which Milan is rumored to have already sold for 70 million, is indicative. It seems that the player was not going to leave the club and burst into tears when he found out about Milan's plans, and the club's chief scout Joffre Moncada even pressed the player, strongly recommending to agree to the transfer, otherwise he promised to revise the terms of the contract for the worse.

Everyone was impressed by Newcastle United performances last season as they have consistently been able to make significant changes in their progress in the EPL. Newcastle United last season was strengthened by a number of ordinary players but their playing pattern is very good and that is what makes them worthy of entering the Champions League next season. Well, we will see Howe work in this season's transfer window where Howe was made a sizable amount of money to bring many star players into the Newcastle United squad in this season transfer window. Even the names that are targeted by Newcastle United have above average quality and if Newcastle United are able to get the players they are targeting, of course they will get a stronger injection of energy for next season. Tonali has officially become a Newcastle United player, and medical tests will be carried out as soon as possible so he has plenty of time to quickly adapt to Howe game scheme. Besides that, Howe also continues to make approaches for players who will fill the front lines for next season and one of their targets is Juventus striker, Federico Chiesa.

Newcastle are also aiming to build a decent team for the Champions League as well. There are a couple of good targets on their radar for now but they aren't mostly the best players in Europe. I don't know if they can bring many of top players this summer though. Even though they have qualified for the Champions League it is still not easy for them to convince such players while they are playing for a bigger team or there are some other top teams in the race.

Even if Newcastle sign some solid players now it is still progress for them. Because if they can make it to top 4 in the EPL even with an average squad I wonder what they can do with a more consolidated one. I don't think Newcastle board have big goals for the Champions League yet though.

But the expectation level can get bigger if they qualify from the group stage. In time they could really need to make the team turn into a one full of star players.

I knew 100% that they would point out to me that I was comparing different trios by role   And yes, this is true, but these are not my comparisons, but the media, if you remember there were a lot of articles and all sorts of noise about the MSN (Messi - Suarez - Neymar), I could not ignore it.
As for finances, with the salaries offered by the Saudis, Mbappe's decision (and his record contract) depreciated very quickly. Maybe that's why he is now so active and wants to leave PSG.

Erik Ten Hag was able to make the Red Devils squad strong again after he managed to do it in his first coaching season with Manchester United. Erik Ten Hag carried out a policy that was acceptable to fans and all management towards the rotation that he implemented because so far Manchester United's game has been more aggressive compared to last season.

I think Erik Ten Hag has full confidence to change the Red Devils squad in this season's transfer window. Some of the names of famous soccer players are always associated with Manchester United, such as Neymar or Osimhen. I think Erik Ten Hag will be able to bring Manchester United even stronger next season, especially in the Champions League.

Well Ten Hag had a good start at the bench but later lost some big games but still managed to secure for Man Utd the champions league. Since Ronaldo left they are missing a good striker that scores goals and we can see how empty it is. But still they have an entire summer to get a striker and a new goalkeeper. Too bad De Gea dropped in form i really liked him as a goalkeeper and i hope he regains his form and starts playing good like before.

The thing is that it is not all about the coach alone and a club like Manchester United who have been absent from the champions league for a while before coming back in this season will need more than just a change of coach to make a much impact in this season since history has records of how clubs who hire a good coach still fail out in the season due to lack of corresponding players that will complement the efforts of the coach.

So if Manchester United will look out to sign good players in the next transfer window,  it will go a long way in increasing the chances of this season.

Ten Hag has brought Manchester United to a better competition, so of course they are much better than last season. Next season Ten Hag has 6 Champions League matches, 38 Premier League matches and a number of matches in domestic competition. Their schedule will be more packed but I think he's still out of player stock if one or a few of his key players get injured at the same time. Ten Hag hinted at bringing in some players, but they're working on it.

I've also said Ten Hag needs a new striker and a new goalkeeper as well. Weghorst is too bad for them, while De Gea has also suffered a dip in form. Andre Onana can provide tough competition for the main goalkeeper, so De Gea will definitely not feel comfortable if Onana is brought in.

Manchester United for a truth has positively progressed since the arrival of Erik Ten Hag and the fact that they'll play in the UEFA Champions League competition come next season is another reason to accept that they've actually been progressive.
I think with the obvious addition of Mason Mount to their midfield and if they can successfully sign s very prolific striker and a perfect replacement for David De Gea, they'll be a team to beat next season in not just champions league but also in their domestic league

I still doubt the possibility of that happening. Just like they’ve been improvement in the Italian league recently, so is it in other leagues too. Looking at the teams that are coming to the champions league competitions, you’ll agree with me that most of them are no small team for any Italian team to toy with. Let’s not speculate too much and watch out on how this season champions league will be after the group stage matches.


Newcastle have shown a lot of expertise in the just concluded premier league season and it earned them a qualification to the champions league. If they can still perform as they did in the league games, I feel they can go far but one aspect of this competition is that, it is different from the domestic league and needs more tactical work in order to go far in the competition. Be it Coach or players, I think they need it more now that they’re in the highest competition of Europe.

Neymar-Messi-Suarez still worked out well, but your comparison is a bit off because you compare a midfield-trio to a striker-trio. They also are very different, but if we compare them I think Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets were the best in terms of brutal control over the game. Although Modric-Casemiro-Kroos is also sick! But anyway, outshining in Ronaldo in numbers only will be hard as even if I don't like that guy, I have to admit that his numbers are insane. But Mbappe is more fun. Too bad he decided to stay with PSG for so long. He could have already been the Real Madrid icon today that he could now become in the next five years. In terms of money his decision was right, but in terms of status in the history of soccer the decision was wrong. He can be thankful that he is French and was able to win the World Cup already.

Bigger improvements are always expected instead of being completely satisfied with what has been achieved. Manchester United have given their best competition in the 2022-2023 Premier League season, so they need to do more work in the next season.

For me Ten Hag still really needs to try to get a better striker than Wout Weghorst and Anthony Martial. The two players I mentioned didn't have much contribution to the goals statistics for the 2022-2023 season, Wout Weghorst couldn't even score a single goal in his 17 appearances. Ten Hag should work on signing a new striker instead of relying solely on Marcus Rashford, but if he doesn't then it will be difficult for him to win as many titles next season.

Newcastle United performed well this season and they deserved to be in the Champions League. Coach Eddie Howe transformed a relatively average team into one of the best in the English premier league. They have the quality to beat any team in Europe but they still need to build a more technical and standard team. Newcastle needs to use the transfer market and buy more players that will boost the team's performance next season. Next season will be loaded with much games hence there is a need to buy more players that will serve as reserves in case of injuries and fatigue.


The Red Devils finished in the third position last season which was not a bad result. But they didn't have a fantastic season considering the quality of the players they have. They started last season on a good note but lost momentum later in the league. They have a good history in the Champions League but looking at the quality of Manchester City and other participants of the UCL next season, I doubt if United will make it to the quarter-finals with the squad they currently have.

Manchester unit have in the previous season in local league performed averagely and that is what we must check when speculating their permanence in the 2023-2024 champions league and as a matter of close observation ten hang have to do a lot of work on the team so that their can make a position in the league even though their may not reach finals in this season at least there can begin their reformation from this season and with the new coach.
Well all the best for both Manchester United and their new coach, it's good to see the club back on the list.

Real Madrid have lost a lot things in their performance from the previous season here. This season was a great example for that. They did good until facing a real challenge. But Manchester City really crushed them in Etihad. Real Madrid players and Ancelotti were just so desperate to do something to answer. The team integrity couldn't be maintained and we all know how Manchester City can end teams like that easily. But this was an important hit to Real Madrid to help them pull themselves together and return better next time.

But first of all they need to make the right transfers and obviously the Joselu transfer in the attacking area won't be enough. Other than that they can strengthen the defense by signing a more solid centre-back as well. Because none of the formulas Ancelotti tried against Manchester City worked well.
