Remember that, in as much as Real Madrid is trying to keep dominating the EUFA Champions League competition, other major participants in the competition such as Bayern Munich, Manchester City, PSG, Dortmund, Inter Milan, and Liverpool aren't happy with that Real Madrid has recently become the dominating team in this game, So they are trying to step up their games too.
Despite Real Madrid recently bringing in of Mbappe into the club, it still not gonna be an easy game for Real Madrid this season.

I don't think it will be right to say arsenal lack the capability to win the champions league just that they have more chances with the premier league as they have got some kind of strength around it so focusing more on there where their strength lays may literary become more beneficial to them than trying to make struggles around that which they have got little to almost no strength around and that's why it will make more sense and will be very profitable if they Chanel most of their strength in the premier league maybe while Manchester city will be focusing to create an opportunity in the champion's league, they may seize an option to stay ahead on the premier league title races and may end up with the trophy this season.

Who is in doubt that the UCL will be won back-to-back by Real Madrid since Mbape decided to join the team? I know a lot of questions would be if I said that because he is part of the team. Or without him can Real Madrid win the title again? The truth is that every player in Real Madrid is a very quality player, the club rarely signs players who are not super qualified for the task. Winning the UCL last season reminds Real Madrid that they are the true world champions and that the UCL title was meant for them. Propelling the club to sign Mbape which will be a start for a new era in the history of football for the club and the team members.

There will be a few return matches of the qualification round today... I am interested in Dinamo Batumi vs Ludogorets and Struga vs Slovan... In both games the guests have an advantage, so the hosts need to score goals... I think that in both games both teams will score... I made a multi bet with good odds of 2.7... In the first legs these clubs scored a lot of goals... I hope that history will repeat itself today...

You cannot compare the squad dept of Manchester City and Arsenal. Manchester City started building since 2016 when pep Guardiola was appointed manager, it took them some years before they started competing at all fronts and making the progress you are seeing them record. Take it from me that Arsenal doesn't have that squad dept yet and you know it. Secondly a coach can do nothing without his players and when the players are burn out due to series of matches it will come a time when they can't deliver irrespective of how good the coach is. The coach will only come up with the idea and tactics but he can't enter the field and execute the plans himself. But if Arsenal will be able to bring in 5 quality players this summer to add to their already existing squad that's promising already then they can have a chance of going for both. But speaking from the angle of a club that desperately need a trophy for their fans they should just prioritize the EPL it will be more productive for them.

mbape's decision to join real Madrid is obviously sponsored by his love for his idol christiano Ronaldo and it shows evidently yesterday when he recreated the same speech Ronaldo gave at his welcome ceremony to real Madrid. It would have been an unwise decision for mbape who is at his prime and is seen currently as the best player in the world to go to the Arab team when he hasn't created enough record for himself. Dude is still young and certainly has a lot of potential and contribution to the world of football and his joining real Madrid will only help solidify and make things easier for him.

He played as a big figure at PSG and the responsibility was just too big for him at the club but coming to real Madrid where you have two heavy players that are currently the top contenders for the balon d'or, it's just going to be a strong challenge for him to become a better version of himself and become a better player in the long run. It's obviously a win win situation for real Madrid and mbape and for all madridit, it's going to be an exciting time at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium where you will witness the character of vin jnr, the personality of Jude Bellingham and master piece of mbape all on the Madrid jersey.

So far he has been able to impress with PSG because he has adapted well in ligue 1, besides that the uncompetitive ligue 1 competition makes it easier for Mbappe to be able to appear dominant all this time, but next season will be proof for Mbappe that he can continue to show his best performance as a star at a new club and league for him,  Although maybe Mbappe will not be easy to adapt because of the fierce competition in La Liga but I think he will still be able to make a great contribution to Madrid later, currently Ancelotti only needs to provide one place that can indeed optimize Mbappe's performance in the Madrid squad next season, even though Ancelotti is an experienced coach but still he will need time to optimize the potential possessed by Mbappe, let alone Ancelotti must be able to try to be fair in giving opportunities to play for other players who are also stars status in madrid front line.

The question is, will Kylian Mbappe fit into the frontline of Real Madrid? Next season we will observed the growth of the Frenchman and his his new habitation in Santiago Bernabéu. Perhaps he can survive with the chances made. Real Madrid is the best club, moreover they don't depend on a single player to win matches because they play collectively football where everybody engaged in the major role of victory. Carlo Ancelotti have taken thoroughly his time to map out the basics of the club, grab significant opportunities.

As a star player, I think Mbappe deserves to play for Real Madrid and he is also very suitable for wearing the Real Madrid uniform. Yes, Real Madrid has been the best club for a long time and of course in this case, in my opinion, Real Madrid is great in every way, so Real Madrid has a strong squad and indeed the players that Real Madrid brings in are always strong and of course many star players have been born. from Real Madrid and honestly I am also amazed by Real Madrid because the management and everyone are very professional so that makes Real Madrid always good every season.

Yes, in terms of building a squad, of course there is no doubt about Real Madrid because in building a squad, Real Madrid is always full of good calculations and Real Madrid always buys good players, so of course Real Madrid's strength is always good. and the presence of Mbappe who is defending Real Madrid for the upcoming season, of course this is a good technique, even though Real Madrid before Mbappe arrived already had a strong and complete squad, but Real Madrid was not satisfied with improving Real Madrid's performance. So of course Real Madrid will definitely have the potential to be even better in the coming season and of course this is what has made Real Madrid always successful so far. but of course every club will do its best to make its team good, but currently Real Madrid is the best and of course we won't know what will happen to Real Madrid in the future, for example in the next 5, 6 years, but in my predictions Real Madrid will continue to be successful in the future.

Entertaining to watch the UCL tournament but it comes with shocking results also. The UEFA Champions League trophy is been selected among some potential elite strong clubs. This is basically the reason why some of these clubs have fought but failed to win the trophy, have you ever wonder why Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have put in everything for winning, but still yet, they're eliminated. There's precisely few numbers that have higher odds based on their current form and we're talking about clubs that's consistent in stellar display and winning mentality is balanced.

Well I don't see why they should not compete for the two if they can. You'd have to agree that they did better than clubs who have been frequently entering the tournament. I mean, no competition is a small one and clubs like City who were able to win both don't have two heads, do they? You'd have to agree that Arsenal's ability to win titles doesn't just rest on the players but also on the coach and his mentality. We noticed some absurd selections Arteta will make in crucial games when in the first place those players aren't supposed to even be used at that time.
What I know is this season will not be an easy one. Many competitors for the title will rise in the form of Aston Villa, Liverpool, Arsenal and maybe Newcastle or even Chelsea, so instead of focusing their energy alone on the Premier league, they are free to set their sights elsewhere.
 It will be like you are questioning their capabilities when you limit them to the league title alone.

It was this distraction that cost Arsenal the premier league last season. At present Arsenal don't have the capacity to successfully compete in the premier league and Champions league and win both. If it was very easy they wouldn't have waited this long without the premier league and the champions league. Let them set a clear objective, if they are going for the premier, let them devote all their resources there and focus on it, then try and much as they can and get to the Champions league Quarter finals and exit the competition so that their attention will be fully focus in the premier league. There are many teams that are far better than them in the Champions league and it will be difficult to overcome all of them. But in the premier league they only have Manchester City to deal with because for two seasons now Manchester City has been the only stumbling block between them and the league, so if they can go one step ahead this next season without divided attention they will win the league, because Manchester City focus will be more on the Champions league this season.

of course seeing mbappe with a European team instead of seeing him in some Arab team is really nice, he could have chosen but he made the right choice in my opinion he was very influenced by the path of Cristiano Ronaldo who was number one in this so he did well to make the choice to go to the galacticos team that will certainly compete in the big competitions and perhaps win them

They transferred Mbappe at a young and productive age. After getting maximum performance for 5 years, they can sell it to Saudi Arabia with a high transfer fee. Moreover, they transferred him for free. It is pointless to talk about these things for Mbappe because he has just arrived, but we can still say that this is the case. Real Madrid is a very well managed team in terms of player transfers. They use their reputation very well

I read that he played a part on resolving Mbappe's conflict with the club before he departs[1], so it sounds like he can influence things around to some extent. If he can do the same thing with other players maybe the dressing room would be better than before, although he doesn't give me that impression when I read his interviews. On the other hand some news suggested that the owners of PSG want to change their strategy and aim for long-term result, so who knows maybe thye will stick around much longer with him even if he failed to win trophies.

Arsenal are strong and competitive but not enough to win Champions League. If they failed to win Premier League, it would be harder for them to win Champions League. It is still possible but if they win Premier League title first, their players will have more confidence, stronger mentality to fight in Champions League. It is not mandatory to win Premier League as a prerequisite to win Champions League but winning Champions League when don't have experience as champion in Premier League, is very small.

They are great coach but only Ancelotti had experience of winning Champions League before joining PSG. None of Pochettino, Tuchel, Emery, Blanc won Champions League, except Tuchet with 1 Champions League title after leaving PSG to join Chelsea.

This detail is not to prove these coaches are not good enough and failure of PSG comes from their board members that gave too many power to star players. Players also failed to show their values to help PSG winning Champions League. Many imperfection in PSG system and problems are not only from their coaches.

I agree with you. It is true that winning the Champions League title is certainly not an easy thing, but of course all teams want to win lots of trophies, such as in the Domestic League and Champions League, as Real Madrid did in the season that just ended.

It's true that Arsenal's performance so far has been good, but it's a shame they always fail to become EPL champions and only produce runners up, but I'm sure it would be better if Arsenal won lots of titles in the next season. But of course, even though they are focused on becoming Premier League champions, there is no problem, but of course in my opinion it is better for Arsenal to focus on the domestic league and Champions League. because this will certainly make Arsenal fans proud because Arsenal managed to win many awards, but we'll see what Arteta does whether he will be able to make Arsenal successful in winning titles in the UCL and EPL or not.

I personally also think that there is no doubt about Arsenal's strength and Arsenal's performances are always impressive and we'll see whether Arteta will be able to bring Arsenal to EPL and UCL championships or not, but I'm sure Arteta will practice optimally so that Arsenal will be even better. in terms of performance.

Actually, Arsenal has the ability to win the Champions League title, it's just that the competition is very difficult, especially since Arsenal has to face Real Madrid, Man City, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, etc.
Meanwhile, Arsenal failed to win the Premier League title for 2 seasons and they were also eliminated in the Champions League before reaching the final. Arsenal always do their best in these 2 important competitions but cannot maintain everything at the same time if they work too hard in the end they fail to win one of the titles like last season where they focused on 2 competitions in the end they couldn't balance their performance and ultimately failed in the EPL and UCL. I agree with what @imamusna said, it would be better for Arsenal to focus on conquering the Premier League, if they feel their abilities are stronger, they can focus on 2 competitions, like Man City, who have conquered the Premier League many times, finally they are strong candidates in the UCL.

It's not all the positions in Arsenal are having problems with their bench players. Arsenal still need a minor change in the main squad. This is especially true for the attacking line. This flaw on Arsenal's atk line caused them to struggle to get the trophy last season. Arteta, as Arsenal's coach, he needs to solve all problems.
Focusing only on benched players won't guarantee you a trophy. Arsenal did well last season in EPL. But, their mentality was weak when they competed in the UCL.

Arteta must also be concerned about their mentality. And again, it's not all starting players are forcing you to pay expensive prices for them. The quality of the player is directly related to how big their price is. And i think there's nothing wrong with recruiting a new player to play as starting line up. 
It's very obvious that Arsenal need new attackers. This is why Arteta must split his focus. It will help his team rebuild its quality.

Which PSG coach are you referring to?
Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel, Unai Emery, Laurent Blanc, and Carlo Ancelotti are few former coaches of PSG. None of them are bad coaches, even Ancelotti is the most successful coach in football history, especially in UCL. I think PSG is just unlucky that they always failed to win UCL.

Well, Luis Enrique is the coach of PSG now. He is also a great coach, but not sure if he is able to lead PSG winning UCL trophy. FYI, he also ever won UCL trophy with Barcelona.

Of course, winning or leading domestic league is surely not the requirement to win UCL trophy. Even if winning or leading the domestic league indicates the strength of a club, they can perform differently in UCL. On the other hand, even though a club doesn't perform very consistent in the domestic league, it is possible that they play consistently in UCL matches.
