with quality star players. which has become a game with a variety of trophies still failed to win. what else without star players and only from their academy players. a club that does not have a good track record of youth development will be difficult to become a destination for talented young players to join there whether they are young U10 or older.
Because talented young players will choose clubs whose youth development is clear and good like Barcelona, Liverpool etc.

Now PSG might even be abandoned by Mbappe after his contract expires at the end of this season. Unless PSG is able to convince Mbappe to renew his contract there. But it is a shame that PSG have never won the UCL title even with the star players they have had in past seasons. Neymar then Messi and Mbappe. even the three of them worked together on the front lines but they still failed. Maybe PSG should start making other approaches to improve their performance and be better in the future. It seems that being a strong club is not only possible with good players. But other things are also needed. Man City successfully won its first UCL title last season. And I hope PSG will also get it in the future. But I don't think that's for this season. Because this season PSG still seems to be having difficulties, they even had quite a hard time in the group stage. Even though they eventually escaped.

Manchester City last season can’t be compared to this season after what they’ve faced in this season that caused the a setback in the league. Most of their talented players that will move the team to the next level are out on injury for a very long time and it affected their games very well. Now that they’re back, I anticipate that they’ll be having a smooth season henceforth and improving their rankings on the standing ahead to finish in a better position.

This Manchester City we saw so far in this season was far from the good form they had in the past and they were getting bad results. Manchester City is a team they are very much dependent on its players and it seems without some players like Kevin De Bruyne they will have a bad performance and you saw in the last games we saw from Manchester City while they had De Bruyne they got much better results and that's why I think this team is not in the good firm this time and they are far from the good days they had in the past.  

I am also not sure if PSG will be.
Because after all, there are still many other candidates who actually have more potential to become the champion. And it doesn't even seem like PSG is one of the favorites. Currently, some of the things we are looking forward to are Man City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and some say Barcelona, although I'm not sure about this last one. because right now Barcelona is also going through a bad phase, especially with the coaching problems they are currently facing. In fact, I prefer Inter rather than Barcelona. but we'll see what happens in the future.

I realized that even though I previously said that Man City might not be the strongest because of the many injured players, but after the return of these players, Man City could indeed be one of the most favorites. And if they can be as solid as before, they can make it to the final. This will be even more exciting because

Psg will not be ready to become champions with the current squad they need time to win the UCL trophy. They did make it through the group phase but their performance was not very impressive, I don't think their efforts this season will last much longer in the Champions League because the other teams are stronger than them. If PSG only relies on one individual who plays an important role in every match then they will not be able to become champions.

The Champions League of course has very strong competition so if they are not strong enough then other teams will get rid of they. This season Real madrid is at the forefront to win the title because they have a stronger mentality compared to PSG. I think if PSG meets Real Madrid, maybe Real Madrid will get rid of PSG.

Sometimes the problem may not lay within the players but with the club but the management may fail to understand this and because they are financially capable they keep buying more and more players who will come receive pay check and go without achieving that which the team did bought them for .

If PSG keeps buying new sets of players more like a continuous overhauling, how then can they build a team that can be formidable enough to stand the teat of times. The basics of a good and strong team isn't in buy new players every season but building these players just like Dortmund does only that Dortmund is in a contentious habit of selling them off if not with their building skill they would have had one of the best team across Europe, rather than scouting for new players to buy for the team, PSG should focus on building the ones they have already and in few years to come they will be ready to lift the champions league.

Whatelse are PSG looking for? They're the ones that persuaded the big names and escorted out of the Parc des Princes stadium and why are they're all complaining. They're always winning top spot and becoming a more vigilant club. The club's winning the UCL title are important but it will take more time, definitely not with the current squad because there are quite significant factors that would hinder PSG from climbing the top. The trophy season is here but its not considered the major titles. This season, Paris Saint-Germain have become vulnerable, mere facing Newcastle United, they lost heavily in your hands.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi made quite a good effort to convince Mbappe to stay with PSG. I think this crazy offer is also a downer for teams interested in Mbappe in this season's transfer window. And everything will depend on Mbappe because if he stays of course it will be better because he will get a salary increase and also he is very privileged by the PSG team. last season where Mbappe made a drama not to renew his contract with PSG but he would stay until the contract ended with PSG but in this transfer window PSG is again tempting Mbappe to accept the offer of a new contract with a bigger salary.


Well, PSG fans are definitely in a dilemma right now because if Mbappe refuses the new offer from PSG, of course Mbappe will become a free transfer player after this season ends. However, for me, if Mbappe wants to win the UCL trophy, maybe it would be appropriate for him to go to another club after his contract with PSG ends because while playing for PSG. Mbappe had difficulty winning the UCL trophy because PSG always failed every season in the Champions League. Luis Enrique certainly played a big role in persuading Mbappe to stay with them for the next season. Apart from that, let's just wait for the latest news which might be quite hot.

It's not that Bayern Munich and Real Madrid couldn't perform well when facing Manchester City, but because last season Bayern Munich and Real Madrid were not as good as Manchester City until Manchester City managed to get their first trophy in the Champions League last season. Meanwhile, PSG still hasn't experienced the beauty of winning the Champions League and the sweetness of a trophy in the Champions League, but this season I'm still not sure that Manchester City can repeat the same thing.

Paris Saint-German has tried to win the UEFA Champions League trophy since they signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but they failed to win it, and that also made them sign Messi, and they still failed to win the UEFA Champions League trophy. PSG should try to build a team and leave buying star players who will not even help them win the UEFA Champions League trophy.

You made some good points about PSG
Something I'd like to add is that in 19/20, the year PSG reached the final and lost to Bayern, PSG peaked and even showed signs that the team was on another level (great) in 20/21 when they reached the semi-finals
I thought PSG would always be in the top four and consequently win the UCL in a few years

Last year, PSG showed signs of great decadence when they ignored the criteria of the league, didn't qualify in 1st place and had to face Bayern in the round of 16, when they were fully capable of qualifying first and perhaps going further
It's very difficult to bet on PSG because you don't know what to expect hehe, I'll be amazed if PSG make it to the semi-finals playing like this 
And again PSG qualified in second place, but at least they will face Real Sociedad, in my opinion they are at the same level right now with better chances to PSG

Uff, maybe it is a competition for teams that seem to be mediocre but have an ace up their sleeves. If you remember how Sevilla did in the Europa League or how once Porto did when Mourinho was the coach, these teams were nowhere on the planet considered the favorites in these competitions, but they won it. Statistically you are right, the Champions League doesn't really give good reasons to think that an outsider would win the competition in the end, but I still think that there is only a vague definition as to who counts as a a non-favorite team and a favorite team. This season there are a couple of teams that I am not sure about what to think of them. But I will find out soon and that's what makes this season exciting once again.

I think me and you are thinking the same thing about this because this is also what I'm expecting from Manchester City. I believe Manchester City will beat Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. These two teams cannot be a challenge for Manchester City or stop them from winning the Champions League this season again. Because the same thing we are discussing happened last season, and Manchester City concurred. Furthermore, we need to know that Manchester City are using the same squad that was used last season to compete with this team this season again. Therefore, even though I cannot guarantee them winning these two teams, I believe that with the way Manchester City performance is going, they will do something positive. So let’s wait and observe.

IMO, I don't see the potential if PSG is able to reach the final round of this competition. yeah, we can see it when Paris Saint-Germain plays their match in the group phase. For me, PSG does not yet meet the criteria as a strong competitor in the race for trophies. moreover, Enrique is actually building his team with the young players they have brought in. ideally, Ligue 1 is still theirs. But it's up to us to see how far Enrique is able to take his team to advance in this competition.

in the previous season, you had to look at the other side of the PSG players. At that time, several players were injured, especially Neymar and several important defensive line players. So, it's natural that they didn't play as effectively as we expected. Plus, the PSG midfielder at that time was also underperforming. Well, for me it was natural that PSG lost to Bayern Munich at that time. and the main problem, the PSG coach has difficulty handling a club that has star players. their egos in the dressing room, will have an impact and it does. Galtier has no experience managing a team as big as PSG. Plus, he doesn't have a standard pattern that he relies on. I see it more if in the next season, PSG will make progress, especially in the Champions League competition. However, for this season, it seems that this competition trophy is not their main target.

It's too easy to make predictions if Manchester City afr going to to well and win the champions League or not because we have much dangerous group that just left it's group stage. However, we can make accurate predictions in Quarter final because the threatening team will be out by that time. Don't get get too comfortable, it's possible that Manchester City will be remove before Quarter final and the battle might be between less team with another less powerful team.


The Champions League is becoming more and more competitive because Domestic leagues that are allow to come to the Champions League are getting competitive everyday. Napoli rarely come here to play well in their group stage but they are here now fighting to win the champions League. Real Madrid are also hot this season and perhaps because last season was poor, they might flog any team that comes there way.

For PSG aspect in the Champions League, I don't think they have any best season to win the Champions Leage more than last two seasons, but they failed, therefore, I don't think they will even go far this season. They have the chance of qualifying every season, but they couldn't win any one even though the team managements have tried so many coaches and players from different clubs.

Playing match with Manchester City is not always easy because of the coach. Pep has various tactics that can be used to play different teams, and because of him being an experience manager, beating his team is always hard; that is why Bayern Mnich and Real Madrid find it difficult to bit them.

I am sure that Manchester City can win the CL title in a row if they have the same consistency as last season. On the one hand, the players they really rely on have also started to return, such as Dr. Bruyne and Haaland, who can give their full strength to be able to maintain consistency and win the title this season. this eliminated Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
Even though Real Madrid is very strong, this club does not have a striker who can penetrate the opponent's defense, which means that Real Madrid could fail because if they only rely on other players like Bellingham, they will not be able to compete strongly on the one hand. Manchester City has a great striker and Bayern Munich has Harry Kane. .
It's hard to see Real Madrid winning the trophy but seeing Manchester City really convinces fans that this club can win the CL title again this season.

Last season Real Madrid and Bayern Munich won most of their matches in the UEFA Champions League, and Bayern Munich even knocked out PSG, but when Bayern Munich and Real Madrid played Manchester City they couldn't perform well.

If only a luxurious and expensive squad was needed to win the UCL, maybe Man City and PSG would take turns winning the UCL league every season. But in the UCL league we have to talk about the club's mentality and philosophy, Bayern is the type of team that prioritizes teamwork, there are no players who often show off at Bayern Munich, and of course their mentality is like yours. said.

This is something that PSG doesn't have, last season the PSG squad was very luxurious but still failed and this season it can still be said that PSG has a good squad and even has a good coach, but this also doesn't guarantee they can reach the final. PSG in the group phase almost didn't qualify, only winning on goal difference with AC Milan. PSG needs a process that is not instantaneous to win the UCL League and we can see what Man City has done, after waiting so long, only last season did Man City win the UCL trophy for the first time. If PSG still fires coaches every time they fail, then they will be even further away from winning the UCL trophy.
