But in this case, you should expect that City will once again be knocked out by some ordinary club and Real won’t even have to strain  Grin
In general, it’s quite sad that everyone began (and probably rightly) to evaluate the Champions League as a tournament for a narrow group of clubs where the favorites are rated as 2.5-4.0. This says a lot about the predictability of the tournament. If I remember correctly, this season the NHL favorite was rated as 7.0. That is, in fact, many clubs had a chance to win and the whole tournament was interesting.

I'm in the same line of thoughts with you even though I cannot also rule out the fact that the big clubs are there to make their efforts too and they are also trained to take the trophy home. Nevertheless, narrowing down the predictions to only the big English or La Liga clubs is not just enough because if we were to follow the same line of thoughts, we would have written off clubs Like Dortmund which actually got to the final position against Madrid in the last season. So, Champions league should be bigger than those thoughts.

Over the past 20 years, not a single Champions League title has gone to a small or even medium-sized club. Only the top teams took part in the division: only 9 clubs received 20 titles. If we take away Real, the situation would look more diversified, but still, the last time a small club took the title was 21 years ago and it was Porto. Therefore, if you look at the situation objectively, in each season it is easy to assume that one of the top will take the title, and given the fact that some clubs are in crisis, for example Barcelona, ​​the choice becomes even smaller.

There is still plenty of time and opportunity for young players to continue to improve their quality and achievements, so you cannot  judge the success of Ronaldo and Messi with current young players who are still in the process of becoming stars. However, I think it is no longer appropriate to compare Ronaldo and Messi with today's young players,because football has also experienced many changes with new rules being implemented. Thus, basically the era has changed and the success of Ronaldo and Messi has become a legend and thus, let today's talented young players continue to develop and there is no need to compare them with Ronaldo and Messi.
Comparison between players and leagues are never been ideal because we all know they are having different conditions and atmosphere with mostly are having too many things different from others and all are having their own negative and positive as well which make them superior in quality and performance now we are heading for the era which is belonged to Mbappé, Haaland and Osimhen which are having time to give their best in coming years and trying to follow their seniors which are now going to be retired in few years after giving their best in this soccer world.

We are having too much talk about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi with no end and now this same is going to start again which is surely not ideal so just watching their games and having entertainment through their performance is best deal for all soccer fans.

However Ronaldo has hypnotized football fans with his actions on the pitch, no one can compare to him except Messi. These two players have made the Champions League more interesting, there is no player who can compete with their abilities. Haaland is still very far behind Ronaldo, he cannot contribute like Ronaldo. Haaland is also very often barren in important matches, he seemed to lose his spurs when Manchester City was struggling in the final match, he always missed scoring goals when Manchester City really needed him to contribute to bringing the team he was playing for to victory. Haaland only acts as the spearhead for the club he plays for, but he doesn't have the skills and fast running like Ronaldo.
What you said is very visible in Haaland when Manchester City faces big teams like Real Madrid and others, making it difficult for Haaland to score goals for Manchester City in important matches because he is always tightly guarded by defenders from the opposing team. And to compare Haaland's achievements with those of Ronaldo and Messi, of course Haaland's achievements are still far behind, especially when we talk about trophies, top scores and also several other records.
It's a big mockery to Messi and Ronaldo even at this older age, we can't compare Haaland with any of them. Haaland is not even up to the potential of Mbappe or Vini, then comparing to players who made history from their own struggles and not hiding under the influence of another player to lay clean passes for finishing. How many players can Haaland dribble pass, how good can he hold the ball from the midfield down to making a goal count. In this generation of football, his being considered good but not to be compared with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo.

Talking about Real Madrid, they are a team that is a stumbling block for all teams in the Champions League, because they always have their own way of winning.
Actually Real Madrid didn't always win UCL in every season. They also experienced losses and failed to win UCL trophy. But they become very superior if they reach the final round. That's why Guardiola stated that to beat Real Madrid shouldn't be in the final, beat them before they reach the final round.

I usually have this type of thought in me that Real Madrid can only not win the champions league trophy until they are eliminated from the competition. It does not always look easy to eliminate them but it does happen and has happened several times for all those seasons they didn’t win the champions league trophy. What I notice more with them is that, if you want to win them, don’t wait till finals because they’re always at their best in the champions league finals and have only lost few times in the finals for all the times they’ve made it there. So eliminate them before reaching the final if you want to stand a chance to win the champions league trophy.

Since his move to Manchester City, Haalaand was immediately able to adapt well to the Manchester City game and even in the first and second season he ended the season with the championship and also the status as top scorer, Haaland sharpness in scoring goals is no longer in doubt, but as you said, he is still still has weaknesses at the moment, Haaland has accuracy and speed in executing opportunities to become goals and he even knows enough where to stand when his teammate gives an accurate pass in a match, but like you say, Haaland is often invisible when he has to face big team and it is even difficult to escape when they are closely guarded by a tough defender.

Every player has their weakness and the fact that Haaland cannot perform well when he’s facing a big team does not make him less of a striker to be dependent on. We only have few big teams that he has to face in every season, if he can always achieve a success rate of 80% in the total match of the week when compared to the number of smaller teams is still a good one.

The agility, speed, accuracy and the one touch to goal he always does have placed him above so many big strikers in Europe. He is what some teams are lacking in their team and if he joins such teams, they’ll come out excellently well in the league results.

Example, a team like Arsenal needs a goal scorers like Haaland in order to be at the fore top of the league title. I think if they’ve a striker that can perform well as Haaland does, they can turn things to their advantage in the next season and win the premier league title sooner than anticipated.

Physically, Haaland is ideal, but his ability to dribble the ball, take the initiative to create space, and control the ball when dealing with opponents is still very minimal. Therefore without a profitable supply, Haaland will not be able to move at all and will even have difficulty scoring goals. Manchester City is lucky to have De Bruyne, Bernando Silva, Foden and Doku so as a pure striker Haaland just has to wait.

Meanwhile Ronaldo, Suarez, Ibra, Aguero and several senior players who in their prime were able to master various techniques were able to complete their tasks well. Physical quality, ball control or balanced flexibility, so far Haaland has not been able to do that. Maybe he should train harder to develop his individual abilities, because if he only relies on supplies alone he will not be able to develop amidst the competition from today's star players.
I don't think we can expect a perfect striker to continue to exist nowadays, Haalaand is one of the strikers who does have quite a high goal scoring instinct but he still has shortcomings which should give other players the opportunity to stop him, if only he had ideal physique like ibra and supported by a pretty good dribble like messi and able to have the speed and ability to avoid the opponent control like ronaldo, of course now we will see he will be unstoppable and make him the only one worthy of winning the ballon d'or, but I think, we still must to be realistic if Haalaand is just an ordinary human being who has strengths and weaknesses in his performance so far.

I think Manchester City is more than just Haalaand at the moment and we have to admit that all this time Manchester City lack of Haalaand has actually been covered well by other Manchester City players, I'm quite sure that before recruiting Haalaand of course Guardiola already knew all the weaknesses Haalaand have, but he still recruited Haalaand because Guardiola knew that Haalaand  advantages as a striker were greater than the shortcomings he had so far.

There is no player I can compare Ronaldo to when he was at his best. At that time, he contributed to the game in every way, such as air ball, overhead kick, free kick, penalty, and running. I don't think he is a comparable player...

the truth is that there will never be such important and influential players in the history of football, I don't think we can repeat such an important dualism, it's difficult but we had the chance to enjoy two champions who could have played in different eras at the same time , it has never happened and I think it will never happen again, but in my opinion Ronaldo remains the better of the two!

Manchester City is currently still very ready and could easily beat Real Madrid again.
Haaland is still Pep Guardiola's mainstay and as long as these two important roles are still with Man City, they will remain the strongest club after Real Madrid.
Haaland can't do much when facing Madrid, therefore Guardiola needs new players on the front lines who can accompany Haaland to be more productive in scoring goals easily. Haaland can only shine when facing an underdog team, whereas if he meets a strong team In fact, he can't penetrate the defense well and even has difficulty scoring goals. I don't think Guardiola can continue to rely on Haaland because there are still many great players who can be recruited into Manchester City's main squad to fill the front line so they can be more productive when facing strong and difficult teams. . I'm still not sure Manchester City will win the UCL next season if they don't make changes to their current main squad.  Grin

Manchester City is up to the very task to win the champions league title when they face Real Madrid. They are not a team that cannot be beaten and needs some extra force to penetrate into their defense. Every team has their weak points and if the weakness of a team is known by the rival team, it becomes easier for them to penetrate into them and get their win. Real Madrid is not an easy club to beat in the champions league and the same thing applies to Manchester City. They’re both big teams in Europe and when they face, the outcome is always unknown and we always wait to see how the match is being played before one can predict how it can end. With addition of new players or not, this team can be at their best and will eventually become the team to defeat Real Madrid in the champions league and raise the trophy once again.

When it comes to champions league experienced and tricks are needed to outshine your opponent, although am not doubting the fact that Manchester city does not have all it takes to win the champions league but the need to be more serious anytime they meet best teams in the knockout stage because more experienced teams will always want keep their track record running at that stage, as we all know Realmadrid is one of the best team in the world and we can cant  talk about football in the world without mentioning Realmadrid, the history remain with Realmadrid, Manchester city is also a good team but we can't compare them with the existing history that Realmadrid holds, we can't talk about Football without history,  the Realmadrid that I know will always want to shine, looking at their selection of players everyone will agree with me that Realmadrid is equal to the task to combat with any team, as for Manchester city to defeat RealMadrid to lift the trophy one more as you said, time shall tell.

I'm still not sure Manchester City will win the UCL next season if they don't make changes to their current main squad.  Grin

No need for Pep Guardiola to sign new players to assist Haaland, Kevin De Bryune is there to assist him but due to the injury that both players suffered towards the ending part of last season made them not to be able to Perform as they normally do, instead of signing more players to the team Pep Guardiola should consider using some of the players in substitute to balance up the challenge that Haaland is getting and Guardiola should not be overdependent on Haaland alone, he should try and build up other players in the squad so that in a case of injury he can have a reliable replacement for Erling Haaland. Haaland still shine even when playing against a strong opponent so saying that he only performs when they meet a mediocre team is not true. Remember he scored a hat trick in their derby match against Manchester United last season so except you will classify Manchester United as a mediocre team then I can agree to what you said.
One thing you need to know is that Manchester City, even though they are one of the strongest contender of the Champions League but they are mostly unlucky in winning the Champions League so even if they sign new players, don't think it will make any difference.

I don't think Guardiola will try to get another player to add for Haaland, because I think the current players will still make the club succeed and win trophies, and since Guardiola is still the head coach, I'm sure he can control Haaland without getting any player that will support, and since De Bryune is still in the club, I don't think Haaland will have any problem, and he will always be the top goalscorer in the league because he is a goals machine that no one can stop him in the league, and I am confident Guardiola will still achieve something next season because I did not think they would still get any club that would challenge Manchester City. Right now, there is only Arsenal and Liverpool that I believe will compete with Manchester City, but they usually fail, but I am not sure if Artete will change anything up to compete with Manchester City next season. They need to do something so that Manchester City can win the Premier League next season because it is a disgrace that only Manchester City has control of all the trophies in the competition and no one can compete with them, and Guardiola will do anything possible to win another title before he leaves the team because .am Seeing after next season he can probably leave the club.

For any team that already knows how to stop Haaland, they will always be able to stop him easily and even in important matches Haaland always disappears in the pocket. But when he played against a mediocre team he was very aggressive and even showed no mercy by scoring several goals. Maybe the difference between Haaland and former great players lies here and that is why his name is less shining than the current players of his generation.

Talking about players like Suarez, Aguero or Cristiano, of course the difference is very big because they can always think about it to meet the club's needs and I think Haaland's strong physical problems are not an excuse. The reason is that players like Ibrahimovic can do the same thing as these great former players. So I think reasons like that should not be used as an excuse for Haaland and the need to evaluate his work so that it can benefit his team.
Physically, Haaland is ideal, but his ability to dribble the ball, take the initiative to create space, and control the ball when dealing with opponents is still very minimal.

It's not even the issue of him.not playing well against Real Madrid, I believe its the fact that Harland is just so direct and when he is been tightly marked off then the ability to score goal will be reduced. Any team that successful man mark Harland he finds hard to score against them, he is not like the likes of aguero and squarez that are very good with their feet and also flexible too.

Haaland has a very strong physics, and this makes him less flexible like suarez or aguero. The problem is that the team now knows how to stop him. They sent two CBs to guard him. This is also very effective in stopping him because Haaland is not flexible.

I consider Haaland is fast enough. But, flexibility is key to dodging opponents. That's why haaland is playing as a pure striker only.

That's why it's hard to find someone like CR7 at his prime. He is very flexible, strong, and fast.

You see it's not about sending two players to guard him,it's about marking him closely so he doesn't have a good time, I have watched Lisandro Martinez doing this to him first when they faced off in the Champions League Competition ( Borrussia Dortmund vs Ajax ) that was actually tue first time I noticed Lisandro Martinez. Secondly, it was the name Tony Rudiger as he rendered him useless in the Champions League Competition.
Tchouameni did the same thing too, to cage him up. His body has nothing to do with all these, if he gets a clear cut chance he'll definitely perform and score enough goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo would always remain the greatest goalscorer of all time, he sis second to non when it comes to scoring and converting chances. Sad to see how the media making mockery of him despite all he has done for football.

I feel like the only way to unlock Erling Haaland in such tight games for him would be to play a second striker with him to free him up. Let's see if Premier League defenders will do better against him this season.

Ronaldo is a player that would always be remembered by his performance because for me I consider him to be a Legendary player because of how far and the things he has achieved in his career, though I wouldn't just say he is the only player that has that kind of impressive performance because Lionel Messi is also one of the best player in the world and both are always on a serious competition on who will become the best.

However considering there performances there is a lot difference between there two because Ronaldo is a very skillful player with a lot of energy and strength but most of his skills was developed based on practice has been given himself but Lionel Messi in the other hand is like a player that was born with football because his pattern of play is very natural because he always knows what to do on every given time, though he doesn't have much skills like Ronaldo but in terms of Ballon d'Or Lionel Messi has been the best because he has won up to Eight Ballon d'Or while Ronaldo should be within Six.

I would say different that Manchester City had to change their tactics to help Haaland. It's quite not fair to say Haaland depends completely on Manchester City tactics change and his team mates to play well. He tried and adapted somewhat and we have to consider that Manchester City had demand to change themselves so they saw something helpful in Haaland before purchasing him from Dortmund.

Haaland played like a beast in his first season for Manchester City and in Premier League debut season but in a second season, he struggled to score goals when clubs, coaches and players in Premier League understood his playing style more and found ways to reduce his danger. Fortunately, Haaland did not join Euro 2024 and he can use summer time to watch videos, think deeply of ways to change and play better next season.

I think that to become a better striker, of course Haalaand still needs to continue to improve his current abilities in supporting the flexibility of his movements and play So far,  I have seen him play against big teams several times, Haalaand is often too close to the opposing defender so he often has to rely on physically to win a duel so this makes it difficult for him to develop and help his team win, the only way that Haaland can possibly do next season is to keep his distance from the opposing defender when he has the ball so that he can fire a shot towards the goal.

Real Madrid will be very hot next season just because of Mbappe's presence, but that doesn’t mean the Champions League will be easy for them. Just like you said, next season will be the last season for Guardiola at Manchester City, so he will do everything in his power to win the Champions League for the club before leaving, and we know Manchester City also has a strong squad. So I can’t really say Real Madrid will win the Champions League next season, but I know the season will be an interesting one that everyone will enjoy.

I’m also not expecting Real Madrid to win the Champions League next season because Manchester City and other clubs who are even tougher than Real Madrid are going to be fully ready for next season's Champions League. I believe next season will be a hot season, and again, I'm expecting Real Madrid to do more than they did last season because of the beast they have in their squad Now, Mbappe is a very talented player. He can do everything in his power to get the visibility he wants in Real Madrid, but what I’m also doubting is the trophy for the Champions League next season. I think it will be difficult for Real Madrid.
Looking at the superiority of quality, Real Madrid has more quality players and it is clear that their talent is under the tutelage of Ancelotti Real Madrid players are able to perform successfully. However, the competition next season will be fierce even though Real Madrid has recruited Mbappe, whose performance and talent are clear but there will be other teams who have the same high ambition to win the Champions League title.  Real Madrid will not easily win the title again even though they have a big chance because there is Manchester City and I think they are able to compete with Real Madrid.
Of course, other big teams like Manchester City will not let Real Madrid dominate the Champions League again. Even though Real Madrid will do their best to dominate the Champions League I think there will be big and tough challenges for them that will prevent them from winning the Champions League title. who knows who will win the title next season only time will tell. but what is certain is that all teams have big ambitions to win the Champions League title including Real Madrid, which has previously won the Champions League title.

Manchester City is currently still very ready and could easily beat Real Madrid again.
Haaland is still Pep Guardiola's mainstay and as long as these two important roles are still with Man City, they will remain the strongest club after Real Madrid.
Haaland can't do much when facing Madrid, therefore Guardiola needs new players on the front lines who can accompany Haaland to be more productive in scoring goals easily. Haaland can only shine when facing an underdog team, whereas if he meets a strong team In fact, he can't penetrate the defense well and even has difficulty scoring goals. I don't think Guardiola can continue to rely on Haaland because there are still many great players who can be recruited into Manchester City's main squad to fill the front line so they can be more productive when facing strong and difficult teams. . I'm still not sure Manchester City will win the UCL next season if they don't make changes to their current main squad.  Grin

It's not even the issue of him.not playing well against Real Madrid, I believe its the fact that Harland is just so direct and when he is been tightly marked off then the ability to score goal will be reduced. Any team that successful man mark Harland he finds hard to score against them, he is not like the likes of aguero and squarez that are very good with their feet and also flexible too.

Haaland has a very strong physics, and this makes him less flexible like suarez or aguero. The problem is that the team now knows how to stop him. They sent two CBs to guard him. This is also very effective in stopping him because Haaland is not flexible.

I consider Haaland is fast enough. But, flexibility is key to dodging opponents. That's why haaland is playing as a pure striker only.

That's why it's hard to find someone like CR7 at his prime. He is very flexible, strong, and fast.



There is no player I can compare Ronaldo to when he was at his best. At that time, he contributed to the game in every way, such as air ball, overhead kick, free kick, penalty, and running. I don't think he is a comparable player...
