Whatever you worry about Juventus or any other team next season will probably never be the same as reality. We are just speculating without knowing what will happen next season, even a new coach can still do a great job for a team like Xabi Alonso did with Leverkusen last season. Who can really guarantee that Juventus will never be good next season, none of us can, right?

I will put Juventus as one of the challengers in the Champions League next season when they represent Serie A. Several other teams are also good to look forward to, including Inter or Milan. At least these three teams can be expected to qualify for the round of 16, but I don't need to predict it now because it's still too early.

The presence of mbappe isn't the sole reason Madrid is going to excel in strength next season, but it will add to it because he's a good quality player, before now Madrid has got good quality, such that they will be able to even maintain their well enough even in the new season, I believe that Madrid is a team that isn't dependent on a player so their strength too cannot not be quantified on the basis of a particular player, there are other top players who will add to the strength of Madrid and it's going to be a total collective effort from all sides joined together.

Putting Arsenal as one of the reasons the champions league will be tough this season is not totally out of place but then I see some relativity around it because I still believe that Arsenal will be able to make an attempt to go beyond the knock out stage but then champions league has not been something they have really be able to handle well enough in the past years they have been playing in the champions league, at this point it even looks like the premier league is of priority to Arsenal but Manchester city and Madrid are going to be big teams in the champions league most definitely.

exactly Real Madrid will continue to play well next season since, without Mbappe, they will win the league and have the possibility to win the Champions League title. Mbappe is a very talented player and any club would like to have him as a player. Now that they have him their attacking line will be much better and more goals will be scored, giving them a chance to win the title. PSG are losing their great player in the club, and they will have tiny difficulties in their league, but if they can attempt and obtain a replacement for him since he has left the league 1 contests, and that is a good idea for him if he started playing in madrid he will get many trophy and reward in the club.

Any player that plays for Madrid will undoubtedly achieve something before leaving the club. Hazard did not play many games for Real Madrid during the last two seasons because to injuries, but he won a trophy with the club, which is why Real Madrid is the best club in the world. Every season they both have vital players who may help the team progress and win titles and many people have confidence that Real Madrid will win the Champions League next season.

But after all it is the Champions League and many of those games are always fiercely on the edge. Just see the games against Manchester City and it ended in a penalty shootout. It could have well ended otherwise. Dortmund was the stronger team in the first half in the final as well, but they just didn't have this little bit of luck.

But in general you are right that Real Madrid will be rather stronger in the coming season. Although a player like Kross is now gone and his value for the team was beyond doubt very high. Mbappe will add value of course, but I wonder how they will be playing and whether they play with three strikers or whether someone like Rodrygo ends up sitting on the bench.

And the transfer window is still open. It is possible that they will try to add even more quality.

Motta performed quite well with Bologna; I give him that. Nonetheless, Juventus has lately been a mess in Europe. It refers to the entire team, not only the coach. They require an entire transformation, not just a minor one. Sure, new players; also, a new mindset, a winning attitude.

Motta's got a tough job ahead of him. To bring this team around, he will need more than a few inspirational talks. Who knows, though? Maybe he's the miracle worker they need.

Though Im not booking their tickets to the final, I am not writing them off just yet. Let us see how this turns out. It may be a disaster or the beginning of something unique.

Real Madrid's performance will not decline next season either; they will gain more strength because of the presence of Mbappe, although even before Mbappe came in, they were doing very well. Furthermore, I think the Champions League will be very tough this season. Arsenal, Manchester City, and other teams will want to take down Real Madrid, which won’t be a difficult thing for them. But it will be too early to predict how teams will perform next season, so let’s watch and see.

Even if they wanted to replace Simeone, can they actually do it? We must remember that Simeone has been for the most part liked by his players, so if those at the top of Atletico Madrid fire him with no justification at all, then the players will get mad about it, they may underperform  to get the new coach fired or even ask for their release, so this is not an easy choice to make as I am sure that before any improvement could be seen, a massive drop on the performance of the team will be observed.

Juventus who weren't able to qualify for any European competition last season will be playing in the UEFA Champions League next season under the guidance of their new manager Thiago Motta but I don't think it'll be a walk in the park for them because of the other top European teams that'll be participating in Europe's most prestigious competition come next season. For Thiago Motta, coaching Juventus in the Champions League will be a new challenge for him and considering his success rate at the moment, I think he'll do well with the Italian club but even when I'm not writing off a possibility of seeing Juventus win the UEFA Champions League title next season under Motta, I don't expect to go past the quarter final stage of the competition.
Thiago Motta I think will need a much longer time to build a very formidable Juventus team so they can be very competitive again and I don't think his first season with the club will be enough to achieve that.

Recently last several years ago Atletico Madrid performance not quit well in Champion League since reached the final round but beaten by Real Madrid, after the higher round achievement Atletico always failure every season their performance and eliminated early at knock out round or quarter final round. Diego Simeone still become Atletico Madrid head coach until right now and the management scare sack him although inconsistency performance not only in Champion League but also Atletico Madrid get downtrend performance in domestic league.

Seems not really has top performance for next season, Atletico Madrid just getting an opportunity qualifying to knock out round or reach quarter final is the highest round. La Liga team has inconsistency performance in Champion League only Real Madrid and next season has the new comer team Girona will get the same result such as Atletico Madrid just qualifying until 16 round only?

With the way so clubs are coming on board next season is going to be bad because the competitors will be prepared and the competition will no be based on who is the best not like the previous season and since everyone knows the relevance of performing in the Champions League they will want to showcase how good they are, and the clubs that did transfer window are going to be test running their new bloods during each game. Let's see what tactics the new Juventus coach will be coming with to the Champions League. Winning the Champions League is not child's play so when it gets to a stage that you can almost win it then you are good because you even crossing to the finals does not guarantee that you will win exactly what happened to Dortmund.

Since they are just coming back freshly it won't go smoothly at first but at the end of the day they should pick up quick, but if its about winning their is no way Juventus can win the Champions League, because since they have new spear parts they need to get use to competing with others because I noticed something in the Champions League you need to be good and also have experience the same time, and that is one good advantage that Madrid always uses.

Atletico Madrid don't want to take risks by replacing Diego Simeone, so they will continue to keep him until Simeone gets bored of being at Atletico Madrid. Indeed, they are stable under Simeone's coaching, I mean they have not experienced a very significant decline that makes them have to drop out of the top 4 for example.
I can understand why Atletico Madrid are too "scared" to fire Simeone, because there is no guarantee that they will be better under the new coach. but the problem is that they will never know whether they will achieve success if they are in the hands of a new coach or not. Maybe they will be more successful with a new coach.
But this is definitely something difficult for them, because they must also consider everything before deciding whether they will keep Simeone or not. What is clear is that we will still see Atletico Madrid with their coach.

Atletico's development tends to be slower because they seem to be gradually getting their best performance which makes them not to be underestimated.
In some seasons we can always see Atletico even look not like a big club at the beginning of the season but when it comes to mid-season even until the end of the season they always get stronger and stronger both in terms of defense and attack. That's what makes them a little more special because they always get their own proportion and share in every competition they run.

Indeed, something like this is not enough to make them one of the championship candidates especially for the Champions League but on the other hand they will always be troublesome in every season.
If I'm honest, I don't really like Simeone's scheme like this but this is what Atletico have always done in the last few seasons, especially after they managed to get the La Liga trophy in the 2020 season.

Juventus will soon start a new adventure after missing several seasons in the Champions League, they will also be led by a new coach to navigate increasingly difficult competition. It seems like there isn't much Juventus can do on the UCL stage with Thiago Motta, they are predicted to have difficulties when facing teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City and Inter Milan.

There were many processes that were challenges for Thiago Motta in his first season coaching Juventus, he needed to adapt the tactics he used with the Juventus players. Apart from that, players who are recruited also need to adapt to their new club. Thiago Motta's first season in the UCL will be a challenge for him, he will try to do his best for the club he cares for, but he will have difficulty getting Juventus to the final round.

I'm also asking this question to myself. When will Simeone leave this team? Nearly 13 years it has been... This sounds really strange as I don't see it very common.    However it looks like Atletico Madrid doesn't simply want to let him go already. His contract has even been extended by them. Otherwise I don't think Simeone would be disappointed to part ways after all these years.

Indeed, there hasn't been much progress in the La Liga especially for the last 3 years. They can't rejoin the title competition anymore. I would like to see some change in their system, like playing more attacking rather than boring.  

Their inconsistency makes everything go wrong, they are always close to the top in both the domestic league and the UCL, they falter easily and don't seem to know what to do, occasionally losing and constantly going down.

It's difficult to expect Juventus, despite having Thiago Motta today because we have yet to see how Motta plays Juventus in the champions league, whether it will be much better than Alegri or not, but I hope that Juventus do give their best and they bring back the name that has long been dead from the eating wolves.

In his first year in the Eredivisie, Arne Slot was neck and neck for the championship. In fact, Alkmaar was second on the same points as Ajax in the season that was cut short due to the pandemic. In his second season, he made Alkmaar third and in those years, Ajax, coached by Ten Haag, was doing very well not only in the Netherlands but also in Europe and it was very difficult to stand against Ajax. Despite this, Arne Slot had successful seasons. Arne Slot's success at Alkmaar opened the doors to Feyenoord and in his second year he made Feyenoord champions after 6 years.

Arne Slot's success attracted the attention of big clubs and he became the new manager of Liverpool after Kloop. For some it was an early choice, for others Liverpool made the best choice, for others it was Ten Haag 2. The reality is that a man who was in charge of the Eerste Divisie 7 years ago is taking over one of the oldest clubs. After Kloop, one of the club's legendary coaches. It's a big responsibility and a big risk. I hope Arne Slot will have a successful season with Liverpool.

Well the expectations are high no doubt but it doesn't mean that  what is expected of them can't play out. If it's for squad balance then I think Madrid are well balance but that doesn't seem to be requirements of a successful season because they are some clubs that do have all the players and maybe injury can be a stumbling block for them and reduce their capability in achieving their goal.

I don't believe that Mbappe will fall short at Real Madrid when the La Liga season starts. Just because Hazard failed to perform well at Real Madrid is not enough reason to say or think that Mbappe might perform the way Hazard did when he was still playing for Real Madrid. Mbappe is a young, talented player who knows how to put on a good performance and score goals for any club he is playing for. Mbappe will earn his respect at Real Madrid quickly because he is surrounded by players who can dominate a match and also create chances for their strikers to score goals.

Some people say that Ancelotti is poor in tactics so he doesn't use many tactics to make Madrid appear with many styles of play, fortunately Ancelotti has many talented and productive players so he doesn't need to use many tactics to make this team a good team, for him victory is the most important thing to get, I think he has a lot of tactics that many other coaches don't have, that's why he always surprises his opponents. next season Madrid will be the strongest team in the UCL because Mbappe is there and everyone agrees with that.

There is no doubt about Ancelotti's ability, he has brought Madrid to win many trophies, this is what makes it possible that he will bring Madrid to win the UCL again next season with Mbappe and the Madrid players in the current main squad, all their best players will compete to play as key players for that reason it will be interesting to see how their players compete to be key players and continue to be used to play, at least Madrid is not short of players if a key player is injured and Ancelotti can rotate his players well, he cannot be said to be tactically poor. 

Bologna this season has been impressive even though they only rely on a makeshift squad but Bologna was able to surprise us all with their passage to the Champions League next season, Thiago Motta is of course the actor of all the success that Bologna has achieved this season, but Bologna failed to keep Thiago Motta to remain their coach next season, Thiago Motta seems to realize that Bologna is indeed able to qualify for the Champions League but maybe he Thinking that Bologna will not be able to compete later in the Champions League, so indeed he prefers to coach a team that has the potential to be better in the Champions League later, Juventus has a pretty bad performance this season although they have a squad that is quite qualified, so I think with his intelligence and also his ability to coach, of course, it will make Juventus can return to be a title challenger in the league and the Champions League later.

In my opinion, Thiago Motta will not be too difficult to adapt to Juventus, because after all he has been in Serie A for quite a long time and indirectly of course he has been able to understand Juventus style of play even though as his opponent, Thiago Motta only needs to make a slight overhaul in the Juventus squad next season, because indeed the current Juventus squad is quite good but is not supported by good game strategies and tactics by Allegri during Ini.
