This season we might get to see Kane win his first trophy, I'm fed up with enough talk whether his cursed or something which I don't find any sense or atom of truth to believe in. Kane has been competitive in terms of goal scoring and efficiency in games even during his time in the Premier League while at Tottenham and now in Bayern nothing seems to change because he still delivers enough goals. One thing is for him to remain consistency, most people get stuffs easily while others have to keep it going untill they get what they longed hoped on achieving. Bayern to win back their Bundesliga title while for Kane winning his first ever trophy, all we hope for coming season.

Kane is good and a talented striker in that matter, but the thing is, I think if a player is good, he also needs a good team to play for before he can recognize it, and right now, we can't say Bayern Munich is not because they deformed in one season; they have been doing well in the Bundesliga competition. Kompany can also do well next season, even though we are still yet to see the prove, but if we look at Bayern Munich players mentality, we will know that they are still strong and things will change for the better.

Kane really deserves a trophy a least because it will be bad after all his goal scoring record then he is unable to win a trophy, he has just proven his scoring ability for Bayern Munich same way he did while at Tottenham but for me if he is not able to win a trophy at Bayern this season he should consider joining other top European clubs like Manchester City, Juventus or PSG so that he can have a chance of winning a title. I just felt for the England striker because he is one player that gives his all for his team even in the just concluded UERO competition, he made a lot of impact and scored goals as well but still not able to win the tournament even after they made it to the finals.
             Vincent Kompany knows that Bayern Munich is a big team so he is already feeling the pressure and fear if he don't make things right for the club because Bayern Munich may not give him a second chance if he is not able to prove himself in the upcoming season so I understand the kind of situation he is facing now that is the reason why I was suggesting that he would have still maintained coaching lower clubs and achieve a recognized level of success before making attempts to Coach a team like Bayern Munich. The team is not in the right position to be tipped to win the UCL so I don't see any magic happening for Bayern Munich.

And you have to imagine that Real Madrid has made some really strong transfers this year and the team will be much stronger next year than last year. I don't see any team in the world that can compete with them (at the moment) and accordingly I believe that Real Madrid will be the clear winner of the CL next year.

Even Bayern Munich winning the league next is not something that's certain so don't sound it as if they are well rooted enough to win it and besides the change of coach might still affect them negatively or positively depending on how kompany rides and manages this team. For now all I can say about Harry Kane is that he was the one who made the mistakes by not leaving the club like the way Gareth bale did and we all knew what bale achieved with Real Madrid at his time there.

Kane is a good striker and his kind currently are very few. There's no season that he has not been outstanding even while he was in the EPL to when he got to the Bundesliga in Bayern Munich his top scoring ability remained sustained only that he has been very unlucky with winning a trophy. Probably if he should spend more time with Bayern Munich he could win a trophy in the domestic league.
.as for Vincent Kompany he's really saddled with much responsibility and expectations as Bayern Munich coach. And am sure he's aware of the task ahead but am sure he might not win a European trophy with Bayern Munich in his first season but might make success with the domestic league trophy. All things been equal we just want to see Bayern in flying colors at the UCL next season even if they don't win the title.

The Champions League predictions should be based on team quality and number of their experience players in the squad. It is a competition that is been won by a team that knows exactly how to play football and knows how to make use of their chances without wasting any of their chances which is what Real Madrid is always showing other teams in the Champions League.
Last season, Manchester City was very good and almost have more quality players than Madrid, but Real Madrid eliminated them because they were more experienced than them. They made use of their chances well and letter defend their box just for the result.
Same thing happened against Dortmund in the final match; Dortmund were playing very well and wasted several chances in the first half , but Madrid used the only big chance they had to make the difference in the match.
Therefore, League performance should not be used to predict Champions League.

There is no curse, everything just happens. Kane may not have had the luck to win a title during his professional career, but it will come for him at the right time. Bayern Munich clearly had problems in the Champions League the previous season and that was the thing that made them fail to reach the final and win the title. Their performance in the Bundesliga is also unstable, but that is not Kane's fault.

Kane has proven himself to be a productive striker in the two leagues he has played in so far. Bayern Munich needs to improve the performance of its players to be able to win the title they are after, so this is not because of Kane's curse. I obviously deny that, of course it's not true even though Kane has never won a title so far.

Harry is a really outstanding player, without a question. At Tottenham, meanwhile, the team structure simply wasnt there to convert his individual genius into medals, despite his star power. His moving to Bayern? That was a wise action. It did not, however, turn out the way everyone had hoped.

Football is not about luck. Its about unrelenting, constant performance. It centers on a team operating in unison, a coach with a winning plan, and a club environment fostering performance. Looking ahead, its not about biding time for fate to change. Kompany has to improve his strategies; Kane has to keep changing; Bayern overall has to raise its game. Winning transcends the events on the field. Its about the preparation, the commitment, the tears and effort put behind-scenes.

UCL is nothing like the leagues, while Real does win the La Liga quite commonly and also gets the UCL, we are talking about all other teams in the world. Just because you may dominate Serie A doesn't mean you will get any good at UCL, or just because you destroy everyone at ligue 1 doesn't mean you will do any good at UCL neither, same goes Bundesliga and Bayern, they managed to win once during their ten year tenure dominating the whole league.

So, it is clear that leagues don't matter when we are talking about the UCL situation. We can't look at the league and make a prediction based on that. Dortmund sucked at Bundesliga last year, they had no place being the finalist and yet they were and they played fairly well there.

So it may only be computer speculation that is programmed in assessing a team, but how does the computer adjust a development on a team, of course there must be certain factors that become the calculation material so that it can have a conclusion on the assessment of a team.

If we look at the Champion League, indeed the spotlight is Real Madrid and also Manchestter City, the two teams are indeed a favorite to get a victory in the UCL, it is no longer a view that can be hidden, if not Real Madrid who wins then most likely Manchester City.

I will be very curious to see if there is a new challenger in the UCL that can keep up with these two teams.

This is the stats from Maccabi vs FCSB.



Maccabi's performance made me baffled last days. Unbelievable! Maccabi lost a home game to FCSB. This result ruined my parlay. I took Maccabi to win the game considering it's a home game, but Maccabi's performance deceived me. I wonder what's wrong with Maccabi, and they played so badly in the second leg.
Maccabi was scary at the start of each half in the first leg. But they failed to attack in the second leg, with only two goal attempts. I think Maccabi was messed up. Beaten's last-minute goal ruined Maccabi's mood in the second half.

It's such a disgrace for this club to be unable to manage to qualify for the further stage. Maccabi's performance was so far from my expectations. My fault for putting it in my parlay.

In football I believe hard work and doing the right thing, been in the right team too has got a whole lot to do with how well you are going to win and not about curses because I don't think any of such has really got much to do on the player if the player is literally doing well enough, the case Kane is one that I believe that he's been mostly on the wrong timing because even with Tottenham it was the times the team were in their poor form and now Bayern Munich I'm believing with this new coach they have got things can get much better.

The facts that we see are like that for Harry Kane, how could it not be, Tottenham, Bayern Munich who 11 years dominated the Bundesliga title when Kane came there was no trophy that could be achieved, really I don't understand when Kane is there.
Yeah about the Euro final yesterday Kane failed to dream of winning another trophy.

Yeah Kane is now in the right place at Bayern Munich it's just that the first season failed but for the next season he could win the title with Bayern Munich.

The problem is that Kane used to be too loyal to Tottenham, whether this is a family reason or indeed his desire is still a great player, what he lacks is not being able to win a trophy once.

Kane is in the right place I think, the myth people were thinking about him looks real but I still feel that Tottenham is not a good team for him because if he has joined Manchester City or Chelsea throughout his stay in his English Premier League, he could have won the Premier League or any other title throughout his stay in the EPL.

Nevertheless, I think it’s now over since he can now win title with Bayern because I am very sure that Bayern Munich will win trophy next season and Kane will be a great player in the Bundesliga and he will also win individual awards while staying at Munich.

But, even though I also believe that Kane was not at the right time as you assume, but at the same time at least I also believe in about the curse. Because after all, Kane's failure to win trophies with the team was not only at Tottenham and Bayern Munich, but in fact Kane also experienced failure with the England national team. After all,  in the England national team, at least the squad is very good with Bellingham also there, but still,  in the Euro 2024 event, England also lost in the final by Spain.

Thus, I also believe in about the curse, because if the curse doesn't really exist, then at least Bayern Munich can still win the trophy in the DFB Pokal. But in reality, last season Bayern Munich also really failed because they were unable to win any trophies. With these considerations,  I believe it will still be difficult for Bayern Munich to get good results in the Champions League. Because, competing well and strongly in the race for the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal trophies still seems difficult for Bayern Munich, and there are still no definite guarantees.

I don't know... Whether Kane is in the wrong place or he has a curse like others say but I don't fully believe in myths and looking at Kane's performance is much better, it's just that he was unlucky again when he moved to Bayern Munich and did not feel lifting trophies for him.

Next season for Harry Kane can feel the title ...

Even if Bayern Munich reach the final, the goal is still the final match and win it, it's just a little more difficult for Kompany as a new coach, of course he will experience great demands because Bayern Munich is a big club so 1 season must be able to win a trophy whatever it is whether Bundesliga or Champion League.

Kane is always at the wrong place at the wrong time and that is the problem with him. Imagine to be in a club that has being winning for long and that season the club didn't win the league. However, I still believe that Kane will have his best moment soon because Bayern Munich will win the league.

I don't think that it is good for us to underestimate Kompany coaching skills because he is with a different club that is strong compared to when he was coaching an average club. Bayern Munich might still reach the semifinals next season because they have experienced players in UCL and they are use to the league.

Actually in this case I am someone who does not have beliefs about superstitious curses and so on, but for Kane he seems to be quite unlucky because after all by being at a big club like Bayern in a season that should be easy for him to get a trophy but instead must experience the same fate as at Tottenham because Bayern did not get a single trophy when Kane was in the squad.

Btw, the third round has some matches that I think are quite interesting because there are some clubs that we already know where they have also been several times in the Champions League or Europa League such as PAOK who will play Malmo, Salzburg who must prepare to face FC Twente and the match I want to see the most is Fenerbahce against Lille.
For the previous rounds I didn't really follow because some clubs I didn't even recognize but for the third round this time I think it will be quite interesting to see how some clubs that can be considered quite big compete for a position in the Champions League.

After last season, saying or wondering whether Bayern Munich would return without a title for a season was on many people's minds. Usually we say that they will get at least one title, namely the Bundesliga after they have dominated the Bundesliga for many years, but now things have changed. Next season will be a difficult one for Bayern Munich as they have to reclaim the title they lost.
They are with a new coach now and actually this is a big question too, because with the new coach we haven't seen how they will perform. Will the new coach make them better or vice versa. But on the other hand, we are looking forward to seeing what will happen next season, the competition will be even more competitive than usual, which is what we want to see in the 2024/2025 season.
