We all know that reaching Champions League is another level. It would take so much effort, training, resources, coaching before a certain team can compete on this level and emerge as runners-up or the winner itself. However, it is not impossible to do so. Hard work and perseverance are just couple of vital traits that a Team can have in order to achieve such level.

Arsenal for me has a long way to go to get that coveted Champions League trophy. Based from their history, their best finish was in 2006 in the runners-up category. And this year, they managed to reach the quarter-finals which was said to be a good performance already. Focusing in the Premier League first may be a good thing for Arsenal, as they can already work on the aspects they need to improve as a team.

Look at his face, my boy is very calm now! he learning to be humble  

We actually have to praise the Los Blancos management a lot. Many prayers have come and gone but none of those players have actually been able to be arrogant or think that he is above the team. All thanks to the management of Los Blancos for making sure of that. We can easily see that Mbappé has actually been spoiled by the PSG authority. They had given him a lot more than they should have. But I am pretty sure that something like this is not going to happen with Carlo Ancelotti's squad.

You know a player like Cristiano Ronaldo was not able to be arrogant in Real Madrid,  . So I don’t think Mbappé will.

There is also another thing which helps Real Madrid a lot. They always have a very good relationship between the players and the coaches as well. That helps the players carry out the plan of the coach in the field very well. Hopefully, Carlo Ancelotti can rein him in.

To be able to win the Champions League trophy is not an easy job, let alone Arsenal, even PSG are still unable to do it. We realize that every team has the opportunity to win the Champions League trophy, including Arsenal, but it is better for them to focus on the Premier League first. In my opinion, Arsenal will have the opportunity to compete with the Champions League favorites in the future, once they are truly able to conquer the Premier League. Arsenal has shown signs of success, Arteta needs to maintain his squad performance so that it does not decline, and start next season more impressively.

Although Arteta managed to improve the quality and performance of Arsenal,  but I think Arsenal did not make the Champion League the main goal. Because anyway, sofar it looks like Arsenal are only focusing on being able to compete well in the race for the Premier League trophy and in fact,  other tournaments in domestic competitions are also not very good for Arsenal. Therefore,I consider Arsenal to have the main goal of getting good results only in the Premier League and not having maximum efforts for other competitions.

After all, if it's about the Champion League then of course Arsenal are still very far away from being able to compete to the final match. After all,the competing teams in the Champion League are certainly more difficult, moreover Arsenal also do not have a good squad depth for second-tier players. Thus, it will be very difficult to make player rotations to be able to maintain consistency throughout the season.

It's been a long time since Arsenal won a Premier League trophy, while in the Champions League, they have never even got it. So it is quite reasonable that they are considered not to have a winning mentality like Real Madrid and Man City have but, from the experience and failures of the last few seasons, it seems like it could be a valuable lesson for Arteta and his players, and I think it has at least forged their mentality. It's not an easy matter, but if they can be consistent in the next few seasons, I think they will definitely get it.

Arsenal not only had difficulty winning the Champions League, they also had difficulty competing in the EPL, their only weakness was their inconsistency in maintaining their performance. Arsenal is a strong team, they are ready to challenge in the title race, but they often run out of gas towards the end of the competition.
To win the Champions League not only requires preparation such as building a stronger team, but also requires a consistent mentality and performance. The highly competitive competition in the Champions League requires any team to always maintain its performance. Real Madrid has succeeded in doing something that Arsenal has never been able to do so far, which is why they often achieve success in the UCL.

Arteta definitely has the ambition to bring Arsenal to appear consistent in every competition, of course Arsenal has the opportunity to do so, or they can properly organize their priority scale next season according to the team condition. It is possible that Arsenal can create a different performance between the Premier League and the Champions League, like Dortmund last season, but it would be better for Arsenal to focus on pursuing the Premier League title first. Competition in the Champions League is much more difficult, and Arsenal will definitely have the opportunity to reach the Champions League final like in the 2006 season.

Arsenal has now developed for the better, especially in the last two seasons, they have almost been able to win the Premier League trophy. Meanwhile, in the Champions League last season, when Arsenal faced Bayern, Arteta fleet still looked very unstable, they failed to show their best performance when facing the Bundesliga giants. In the future, if Arsenal succeed in winning the Premier League trophy, their journey in the Champions League will be even more taken into account.

I strongly agree with your current thinking, because Arsenal should focus on the EPL trophy first for them to get, so that the champion mentality possessed by the players can increase rapidly, besides that Arsenal needs to continue to improve their squad so that they have enough squad depth so that they can continue to compete and maintain their consistency in the fight for the title both in the domestic league and the Champions League later,  Although currently Arsenal is starting to be able to compete in the Premier League, the mentality they have is not enough to compete in the Champions League and the proof is when last season Munich was in a very bad condition but they could not beat even though Arsenal previous performance was better than Munich in the League.
Arsenal main problem at the moment is none other than the mentality and consistency of their squad which is often down when facing important matches, Arsenal lost the opportunity to win the Premier League this season actually not because Manchester City is better than Arsenal, but actually Arsenal often lose points in crucial matches even though they only face teams weaker than them such as when losing to Aston Villa and Fulham last season,  To be able to win the Premier League and even the Champions League, of course, Arteta needs to improve his squad mentality.

The gunners should focus on winning EPL first and if they have achieved that, they can think about winning UCL which I don't see that happening soon only if they can change their mentality and improve their performance up to the standard of strong clubs that are winning UCL.

I don't know why it has being like that, is it that they always lose focus on the matches or they are not just lucky in the league. A lot must be done if Arsenal wants to win UCL. Arteta is a good coach and I hope that he doesn't make any mistake next season and win their domestic league. As long as Real Madrid exists, it will be difficult for weak teams like Arsenal to win UCL.

It is no problem if we want to speculate about the possibility of the UCL winner candidates for the next season. Sure, Real Madrid will be always in the first place of the candidate of the champion. It is not only about their popularity, they can prove it with stats and data. Real Madrid becomes the team with the most UCL wins, they already wins 15 UCL titles. And the most interesting fact, Real Madrid never got a lose in the UCL final since the season 1997/1998. In the last 9 finals in UCL, Real Madrid always win the final match. Even without a top striker, Real Madrid still could win the UCL final in the last season. Now, Real Madrid already has an ideal striker (Mbappe), the must have a higher chance to win again the UCL title.

Sure, there is no guarantee to win again the UCL title. However, if we consider the quality of the top team squads, Real Madrid looks to have the most convincing squad to win the UCL title. If they can beat Man City, they no doubt to have a higher chance to win UCL title again. Let's see how Real Madrid can deal with Man City!!

Arteta has Arsenal looking better than in years. He's not Wenger yet, but he's promising. Its appeared in the Premier League and Champions League. No awards yet, but I trust the process. His management supports him, which is important. Man City is and always will be difficult to beat. Arsenal wont win by trying harder. Must be smarter. With his tactics, Arteta has done that. They've improved, no doubt. They must be more consistent. Win the right games and steal some. Trophies are earned that way.

I admire their transfer market strategy. Boosting the attack and midfield is prudent. Scorers and playmakers are needed. Arsenal can challenge anyone with the proper players. They have a bright future.

If there is one thing about the gunners and their stand in Europe that I know is that they actually don't do all that well even when there are at their best forms some random team in the European competitions still find a way to actually knock them out and this has been the sequence for quite a long period now. The champions league would be too tough for the gunners and I say this because they haven't dealt with the issue at home yet so thinking of winning another stronger competition would be more like a wild dream

I don't know what Real Madrid will experience in midfield after Kroos leaves, but what is certain is that they have prepared for that and now they have the capital by having many potential young players to fill the void left by Kroos due to retirement. There is no news yet that Real Madrid will bring in new players in midfield or maybe they are still relaxing and not in a rush to determine whether they will bring in new players or not.
In my opinion, Real Madrid is the most successful team with its current regeneration, because when compared to other teams they still have difficulty making them stable with their regeneration. Just imagine, by having lots of young players who they collaborate with senior players, they could become Champions League champions and win the La Liga title. The young players they have not only have good games, but mentally they are also very good.

In as much as Madrid is not becoming the best club because they signed one player, they are the best resulting from the collective efforts of these players put together so the signing of this player too has an effect by extension on the performance and ability of the team which cannot be undermined. In the era of other stars who played in Madrid at some point they were collectively the reason the team got to become the best and of world class standard which cannot be overlooked, so you cannot separate the fact that the team is best without its players, they aren't independent of themselves, collectively they make the dream team. Here's a new era for the likes of mbappe and other young Stars to keep the excellent image of the team till it gets pass their era.

Arteta is currently starting to bring Arsenal onto a positive path in the English league and he even managed to bring Arsenal to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season because previously Arsenal often failed in the round of 16, the hope of seeing Arsenal develop rapidly under Arteta coaching is of course very wide open considering that Arsenal current style of play has experienced a big improvement, Arteta, who was previously Guardiola assistant certainly has a lot of knowledge which he is currently applying at Arsenal after he received quite a lot of lessons from Guardiola.
To get even better results next season, Arsenal should continue to support Arteta. by spending a lot of budget to recruit several new players, because this season Arteta good performance at Arsenal was hindered by the depth of the squad making it difficult for Arteta to rotate players.


Next season will be a challenge for Arteta to maintain their performance in both the domestic league and the Champions League, but especially for the Champions League, of course Arteta still needs to improve the quality of the team and their game to be able to compete with teams such as Madrid, Munich and Manchester City in the future, I personally really admit that so far Arteta is an intelligent coach and is able to face the pressure of intense competition, but even so, Arteta still needs to improve the quality of his squad because at the moment they still need to make some improvements in the front line and also the midfield.

Hansi Flick doesn't seem to be in a rush to chase the UCL trophy next season, because he must be able to focus on developing the players currently in the main squad because the team is still experiencing a financial crisis which means the team doesn't have enough money to spend on players to fill the squad. Mainly, I still have great doubts about Barcelona's ability in the UCL next season, but Barcelona will still be a team that must be taken into account and be wary of, but to reach an important round, say the final, of course it won't be that easy because there are still many strong teams joining. in the UCL, for example Leverkusen and other teams. Madrid and Manchester City are still the teams that will dominate the UCL next season, including Munich.

If arteta like he should do better their is no chance for him now in the champions league, because they have been unable to win the premier so what made you think that arteta will be able to win the champions league even if they will win it, it won’t be now. So arsenal wants their glory back am just wondering how they want to do it. Arsenal reliving arteta will be one of their greatest mistakes and when arteta came to arsenal to some extent arsenal’s performance increased truly. Their are things he lacks to archive is goal and if arsenal really wants to win any trophy they should focus on winning the premier league if they are  able to beat Manchester city then I will believe that arsenal have actually improved. They should focus on us first. I feel the champions league are more competitive than the premier league. Manchester city is actually a great club. I don’t see my self supporting any other club than Manchester City.

Mbappe has never played in a Real Madrid jersey yet but you think Real Madrid is the best club for Mbappe. Real Madrid has been the best club for a long time and Real Madrid has not become the best club because of the signing of certain players but the players who get opportunities in their club are definitely lucky. Before Mbappe, many world-class stars have played in Real Madrid and they have developed their careers after they reached Real Madrid. Real Madrid build their squad every season in such a way that they have good quality players in every position of the team and they can perform consistently. Real Madrid has done well in the past seasons, Real Madrid will do well in the coming season and they will continue to do well.

Carlo Ancelotti will definitely guide his team well so that they remain united on the field, every player will want to emphasize their performance and want to win individual awards and as we know Mbappe is a player with many awards as is Vinicius Jr. but their main priority is not only about achievements personally, but want the best for their club, after all, Vinicius will return to his original position and Mbappe will replace Vini's previous position. I'm sure they will work well together. Real Madrid is a club that has high solidarity, therefore there are rarely conflicts even though it consists of players talented.

Indeed, Barcelona is a team like that, but I am quite wary if this team will be more mature next season. Of course we are pessimistic about their performance last season, but somehow my feelings say something different since the arrival of Hansi Flick. Barcelona is ready to change its fate and maybe that is also what made them want to take the decision to fire Xavi.

Being the best is the target of all teams and here it seems Barcelona has that. Regardless of Real Madrid still dominating or Manchester City who are always favorites to win the title, I think they should start considering Barcelona this time.
