They can't at this time be regarded in such light but then they have performance that want to portray them in such light if they don't improve their performance before the season ends, so far they have really been so in consistent and have not been at their best enough to look like they have succeeded.

Manchester united has got a good squad and the team depth is aswell good but the problem around the team is just so much that one cannot be really particular about what alone could be their problem, but then as usual the Coach will always have a greater part of the blame because he is the head of the team and most of the decision on the pitch are pre determined by him so most often than not they will associate their performance with how well he has instructed his team.

Yeah Arsenal is a very good team but however I think there good performance was more on last season than this season because last season they hardly lose any matches, they were wining almost every club they meet which really helped them to maintain there first position on the premier League table last season, but it was at the ending of the season they started making some mistakes that made them lose the chance of becoming the premier league winner.

So perhaps they still came back to this season with the same performance but there efforts was not like there last season but however lets see how the season will turn out to be.

Quality players added to your team brings not just that finishing touch but also class to your team. Building up with youngsters is pretty cool but there’ll be need for that quality player with versatility of experience to help anchor the team, now it balls down to the player; is he interested in joining your team? Are you one coach he would love to work under?

 Pep and Manchester City is a key example of a team any quality player would want to play with because the team is pretty good and you would be going into the team without much workload but to deliver on your position of play.

 Manchester City have a strong squad and a very good depth and would challenge and also win trophies this season and anytime. Credits must be given to Pep who have built this squad and won Manchester City the treble, they’re dominating no doubt but with addition of some quality player(s) I think they’ll be formidable.

Winning against Galasataray is not only to maintain the chance of qualifying for the round of 16 but also to maintain the chance that if they fail they will still play in other European competitions because they can occupy third place in Group A standings, and compete in the European League playoffs
Interestingly, even though Manchester United is more favored as a champion challenger than Galasataray, in this match Galasataray is more favored than Manchester United even though the odds are not much different.
It seems that apart from the host factor, the betting market sees how Galasataray is able to win at Old Trafford, which is one of the factors that also favor the team from this Turkish league.
Manchester United faces a big challenge in this match because Galasataray, which also has the opportunity to qualify from the group phase, will maximize this match as a match that gives full points.

I think every coach wants to recruit quality players into their team but sometimes it becomes an obstacle for them because the player doesn't want to join them. The figure of the coach is a big influence for each player to accept their offer and Pep Guardiola has the advantage of convincing the players he is targeting to join their team. Well, right now, maybe many players are quite interested in joining Manchester City and training under Pep guardiola, but that isn't a reality because Pep Guardiola is truly a genius at recruiting players who can help them become champions.

Apart from that, the overall career of coach Pep Guardiola has shown his expertise in producing star players in his squad. He quite a genius, even this season, the average quality of Manchester City players is quite good. I think Manchester City has a pretty strong squad this season and they will win lots of trophies this season. Both in the Champions League and the domestic league, Manchester City has performed quite impressively this season. Even in the Premier League, other teams might find it difficult to compete with Manchester City to break City dominance in the Premier League.

The Champions League competition is the biggest competition so it is only natural that only the best selected clubs can successfully compete in the Champions League, and it is not easy for small clubs to be able to compete in the Champions League which is full of clubs elite and experienced.
Talking about Manchester United It looks like the remaining 2 matches are quite difficult for Manchester United to get through, but at least Manchester United must try as hard as possible to qualify for the last 16 because Manchester United has fewer points than the others so this could be a big pressure for Erik Ten Hag.

Erik Ten Hag managed to get a ticket to compete in the Champions League, so this season Erik Ten Hag must also try hard to bring Manchester United through to the round of 16, even though it is not easy, Erik ten Hag has definitely prepared a mature strategy during this international break and is ready. facing later matches against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich.

Not convincing, Guardiola must really pay attention to Manchester City's back line, when they played against Chelsea and conceded four goals it didn't look good, therefore I still have a little doubt about Manchester City's strength, even their attack power was a little stiff and very different unlike their game. last season where they showed their best game both from the front line and their back line was very good.

I don't know what is happening now, whether it has an impact when KDB doesn't play and several players have left Manchester City, such as Gundogan, which makes the attack power not very good, Guardiola prioritizes Haaland too much, who sometimes doesn't look good when playing with a great club. but he is always a goal machine against lower level clubs, Guardiola has to really improve it if he wants to defend the UCL and EPL titles this season, they can't continue like that

Of course, it is quite appropriate that the teams in the Champions League group have good enough quality to compete strongly to qualify for the round of 16. However, several teams have experienced a significant decline in their performance this season, such as Manchester United and Benfica. I think for Manchester United they still have a chance to qualify for the round of 16 if they are able to achieve 2 wins in the last two matches of the group phase.

In Group A, below Bayern munich ranking or second place, it will be contested by the other 3 in the last 2 matches. The three of them will compete with each other to be able to follow Bayern munich to qualify for the round of 16. For Erik ten Hag, if he succeeds in bringing Manchester United through to the round of 16, the fans will appreciate his performance, but if Erik fails, the fans might be quite disappointed with Erik ten Hag performance in the Champions League.

Manchester United is not a very unsuccessful team. On the contrary, they are a team with a strong squad but things are not going the way they want. If there are the right tactics and the right guidance, the players are good enough to easily get out of the group and pass the round. They will have a tough match against Galatasaray and they will need to win this match. Otherwise, their chances of getting out of the group will be left to miracles.

I don't think this is only a desire of Pep Guardiola to want to have the best players in his squad,every single manager wants that,they though know the budget they have and that I think is a limiting factor for most of them but not for Guardiola who knows that Manchester City is owned by very rich owners so it is normal that he has a lot of requests for great players,most of his time his desires regarding the players have been fulfilled and I also agree that is part of his success yet it is not only because of that,a few other managers had the chance of working with rich teams yet they had not the same results as Pep Guardiola so as a manager he is a great one.

Chelsea is currently building their team and I think it is almost impossible that they will let go of their main players because they are really paying attention to the performance of the team they want to develop.
Manchester City's target is correct but I also think that it is unlikely to be realized.
I admit that Pep Guardiola is quite clever in building a team and he can even make a main team with substitutes with almost the same strength so that the Man City team can perform consistently even though there is player rotation and even if the main player is injured it can still be covered by other players in the squad every match.

And because of this, up to now, Manchester City is still in consideration and is a strong candidate to be able to defend the UCL title this season, I think they have a big chance.

The rumor of Manchester City trying to sign Chelsea captain Reece James I don't think is ever gonna happen considering the importance of the player to his current club and the fact that Manchester City is also a major local rival of Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola is one manager tha always t wants to have the best players in his team which is the main reason behind his success of his managerial career. The current squad of Manchester City is filled with world class players and I think he should be able to use the current team to win titles this season

UEFA Champions League are for the main elite teams and strong competitors, there's nothing consider as elite and mediocre teams because every single club in UCL is consider a champion and every club has probability of winning. There's absolutely no reason for us to underestimates any club in UEFA Champions League competition because its not consider an easy quest to fight your way through qualifying for top four in their perspective Leagues. Manchester United, that is consider a flopping team also sits for UCL matches and that's one of the big motivation for the Red Devils.

Arsenal have started a new chapter since showing impressive performances last season, a small mistake towards the end of the competition meant they failed to win the EPL but they managed to get a ticket to the UCL. Arsenal's consistent performance can certainly pose a threat to other strong teams that have previously won the UCL trophy.
This season Arsenal cannot be underestimated, the surprises provided by Arsenal must be watched out for by other top clubs. Arsenal journey in the Group stage was so smooth that they have the potential to qualify for the next round as group winners, this is very good for them because they can avoid stronger clubs in the top 16.

I think every team that participates in the Champions League group stage is a great team that really has the capability to become a winner in the Champions League. There is indeed a difference in level between representatives from small European leagues and teams from the big leagues, but it still does not rule out the possibility that those from the small leagues will become dark horses in this competition.

So I think the competition in Group A is a tough battle for all of these teams, and if in fact, Bayern Munich can win all their matches, it doesn't mean they have an easy opponent to play against, but because they can play with consistent performance while their opponents may be having their own problems which prevents them from playing optimally.

The gap is too big. Manchester city has owned 1 UCL trophy compared with real madrid which was 16 troohies. Will city able to consistently winning UCL till 16 years later? Ithat's impossible to happen. I think that it's quite irrelevant to think city is willing to match real madrid's record.
Manchester city is just doing its best to make sure the club will able to defend its trophy and no more. I see no intention owned by city to compete with real madrid in term of achievement.
Real madrid has been known as the best club in the world with consistency to win the trophy in any seasons. Im not even sure if pep will able to stay at manchester city till his contract will be running out.

Those teams are strong except PSG. PSG was not that strong like bayern or real madrid. guardiola is willing to repaet the same result as last season.
Even though bookies still favor Manchester City to win the UCL, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have emerged as strong contenders for the title. We will see which club that is going to win the UCL this season.

Im thinking real madrid is the most potential one. I have taken multi bet for upcoming matchday.

That's true and it makes more sense to emphasize how Manchester City was able to handle high pressure situations both in the Champions League and in the Premier Leaghe (more so in the Premier League for a long time) and how that could help them win the Champions League title again as they now know what's coming. The guy I responded to says that since they won the Premier League a couple of times, it was almost easy.

If you think the same way about the Champions League, I believe everyone knows how many games were so close when Real Madrid won their Champions League titles. It could not have been any closer during many of those matches.

This Champions League season most would still say that Manchester City is the favorite, but not by as much as last season. That is my opinion. Manchester City is still the favorite I think, but some players are missing a lot in the midfield for them. That has a negative impact on their game.

As I can't tell how interested you are in football and how much you follow the games, it's probably worthless to talk about those games when my assumption is that you don't watch them.

Without a doubt was that group quite hard for Bayern Munich and if you were to ask the players, I tell you that they will say that this was a whole lot of work they were going through and that some games were about to end in a draw or loss.

The game against Galatasaray was Galatasaray only. Bayern Munich didn't take place until the second half of the second half, yes, you read this correctly. I don't know exactly but it took Bayern Munich 65 - 70 minutes to get into the game. Before that Galatasaray could have long won it.

The game against Manchester United and Copenhagen were both close and Bayern was behind until late in the game against Copenhagen.

When a team won every game in a group, it doesn't mean that the group was easy.

I belive oin this guys who are the beste ever and when you talke aboute Galatasaray and how they are a team that can beat you, I don't really know how this is going to happen.

Present situation of Manchester city is not too bad for their coach not to handle within two matches, and you cannot use Manchester city to compare Manchester united that is still struggling with small teams that can't withstand Manchester city in this season. Despite De Bruyne and other players that had injuries are not yet back to Manchester city, they are still toping some teams that their players are fully on ground but they are still experiencing some challenges. I believe, Manchester city coach will definitely sign some potential players that will make the team to continue function like the way it function last season for Manchester city to embraced Many titles , which they will still like to introduce the same strategy in this season to make it happen again in this champions league competition and other competitions too.

Yes, it is true that sometimes Man City gets bad results but Pep Guardiola always doesn't let bad results happen again in the next match. Well, we know that Man City used to have a very difficult time getting into the top 10 in the Premier League. But after changing owners and the club started to struggle again by bringing in the best coach (Pep) and it was thanks to Pep that Man City was able to gather many potential players. For example, Haaland's abilities were actually not that prominent when he was at Dortmund. Even though he was very productive at Dortmund. But still he didn't get as much fame as he did at Man City. And when he came to Man City, Haaland's name really became very famous and he even got sharper in attack thanks to Pep.

The point is that Pep can always bring out the maximum potential from every player he brings in. In fact, he is rarely involved in competing for players with other teams. But in fact he can always see good players who are not much sought after in the transfer market. So the club can get it quite easily. Then the player developed at Man City and became popular.

Both in the EPL and in the UCL, currently Man City is still a club to be feared. But still they are not perfect. Because even with their great abilities, in reality they often fail to win a title at UCL. And only last season did they succeed. So maybe this season might not be Man City's.
