Harry Kane is a very experienced player, he is a very good striker, he used to score many goals in every season, but he didn't have the opportunity to win trophies. He spent many years in Tottenham but still didn't achieve his goal, and he moved to Bayern Munich and helped the club win many games but still didn't win the league title. Bayer Leverkusen have stopped them in the competition; we'll see next season if they can win the league and try for the Champions League as well, but I doubt it will be as easy for Bayern Munich to win the UCL championships next season. Harry Kane will strive to win a trophy before retiring from sport because is getting old and later he will stop performing like before. He needs to give it his all and accomplish something before leaving Munich, since how can a crucial player depart without having achieved anything in his career.Real Madrid are the favorites to win the Champions League every season, except they must be eliminated before considering another team to win the UCL, and Mbappe will do anything to win his first title with Real Madrid next season. Let's watch how the UCL plays out next season.

Teams like Girona will just come into the champions league for the first time to have experience about the competition and not that they can go that far in the league and eliminate bigger clubs who are already experienced in the field already. Your comparison to Newcastle and Leipzig is exactly what I’m expecting from Girona. It’s a good step for them to be here, at least when they’re opportune to play in the champions league next time, they will use the knowledge they'll acquire now to sought themself out in the next round of the competition. It’s not going to be an easy outing for them for the first time but if they perform well as they did to get this qualification, they can at least qualify from the first round of the tournament.

I don't expect much from Arsenal in the Champions League, because before they focus on this competition, the Domestic League trophy is their goal. Arteta has built his team squad very competitively in the last two seasons, unfortunately their work has not produced maximum results to shift City in the top position. but that doesn't mean Arsenal won't do their best in the Champions League, because this competition is the highest event of all Leagues. but interestingly, currently Arteta is working to make his team much better than last season. that's why, they are currently focusing on bringing in some newcomers for several positions. now, maybe Arteta is focused on the midfield if any of his players leave. plus, the productive striker they are targeting to sharpen their front line. perhaps, thus Arsenal will be able to compete strongly both in the Domestic League and in the Champions League. as a supporter of The Gunners, I hope Arteta does his job very well in this summer's transfer window.

Talking about Inter Milan, one of the Serie A clubs is a team that is quite experienced in the UCL. plus, they have a coach who is very skilled in terms of tactics and strategy when playing against strong teams in this competition. So, Inter Milan should not be ignored. Like Munich, they have a fairly competitive depth of players. However, I will not speculate too far for Bayern ahead of the new season. At least, seeing their performance in playing each match.

Just like Newcastle I think it depends on the group they find themselves in, if they're unfortunate to be a group we might call a group of death for them it will be hard expect they'll be able to take every little chances given to them and shocked us especially how the defeat Barcelona last year December which made many of us had no choice than to agree they were serious and not necessarily luck but I wonder of they can actually improve their squad or still have that synergy of last season though some players are out already

I am also favouring these three clubs for best in Champions League, but Arsenal is still needed time for having better results and performance because their performance in last season was not as top club I will add Inter Milan as fourth-best club because they are doing good job and having good squad which can give his best in all conditions and also having ability to win this trophy due to their experience and quality performance Arsenal is having troubling time as their players are having pressure as they are heading for big games.

In last two seasons, they were good in Premier League and their performance in Champions League was not satisfied, but we can expect improvement which will help them for keeping things in good touch if they are able to have some strong mentality in this coming season then we can expect they will be going through for the cups.

Personally, I feel that Girona can make it out of their group in the UEFA Champions League competition next season but that'll be very likely to happen if they start to sign quality players this summer. Some of their best players of last season that helped them finish in the top four of the Spanish La Liga have left the club but they've not been very active in the transfer window like I expected them to be. The UEFA Champions League is more energy demanding than the Spanish La Liga so if they must succeed, in the competition, they must have quality players to help them achieve such feat.

If Girona has the same good team performance as last season, then of course they have hope of qualifying for the knockout rounds. I wouldn't say it's easy for Girona, but it all still depends on how the group stage draw turns out. Girona has proven that they deserve to be in the Champions League group stages next season, as well as Leverkusen, who successfully won the Bundesliga title last season with a fantastic record.

Of La Liga, I think only Real Madrid is likely to progress to the higher stages. The quality and depth of Real Madrid's squad is really good, but I don't throw much faith in Barcelona's chances of going higher. The teams representing Serie A are also good, as are the representatives of the Premier League, some of which are worthy favorites.

Great hattrick from Edin Dzeko by the way in this match. In the end the match did get very interesting as Lugano was able to score on the 94th minute of the match. In the end it was a win for Fenerbahce. We can say that the defence should have been better from them. but a lot of people will say that a win is a win. obviously a good news for Mourinho. He has not been having a good time as a coach. this win is going to give him a lot of confidence. probably again he will be able to rise up through the rank and establish himself as a great coach again

I honestly think that him not being a professional footballer is actually causing him to be on his downfall at this day and age. I think if he was actually a professional footballer, he would have been able to adapt to the new age of football and the new tactics very quickly.

Girona advancing to the knock out stage is very possible and they can achieve it but they don seem to have the capacity just yet because they have got a lot to fix to be able to match up the top teams in the champions league that will earn them the opportunity to get the chance at signing at the trophy but getting pass knock out will be a good attempt though it will not be a really easy one as the new champions league format from the group stage is such that is going to be a bit more stressful than the former which they are used to.

It's not easy because the champions league itself  isn't all that friendly especially to new teams and I say this cause of the experience I have seen from most teams like Leipzig, Newcastle, and some others and all have failed to make any positive growth and that's why I don't feel any positive achievement will be made to their champions league campaign, but although am not sure for their Laliga journey but the champions league am sure that they will be knocked out.

There will only be 16 clubs that can qualify for the next round, where from the standings there are 8 clubs that have already qualified directly and the other 16 clubs must fight in the play-off round. Here's what's interesting in my opinion, because now there is very tight competition in the productivity of the goals they create. Usually we only see 4 clubs in 1 group, and it's not too difficult because there are superior clubs and there are clubs that are indeed mediocre and in terms of points, there are rarely clubs that have the same points which requires them to see goal productivity to advance to the next round.

Now it's different, because they will be in the same standings and will play 8 matches. My prediction is that there will be many clubs that have the same points and between them they have to see goal productivity. In addition to having to struggle to win, they also have to be able to score as many goals as possible so that when they are in a situation like that, they can be better than other clubs.

This Real Madrid team is exceptional. It's not only about Mbappe; he's a genuine game-changer. It is about the depth and the skill at every level. You could field two starting elevens and still run for championships. Ancelotti now has a guy who understands leadership. He has the trophies to show it; he has been around, seen it all. He knows how to maximise his players and he understands strategy. And when you mix that with Real Madrid's financial might, well, you have a formula for success.

There are other strong teams out there. This isn't going to be easy. The Champions League, though? Real Madrid's trophy to lose is this one. They are the favoured. And observing their game? It's gonna be a masterclass. You want not to miss it.

Strong finance will help them to achieve something big if they can use it well, and now not all teams that have strong finances can use them to be even better. Newcastle in the previous season they showed progress and actually many hoped they could maintain that, but in reality they could not maintain what they showed in the previous season so they could not get a place in the Champions League this season. Girona last season performed amazingly and now many also hope they can maintain that and can talk a lot in the Champions League. But that is still a question, whether they will really be able to maintain their appearance or just like other teams where in the next season they return to their original appearance which cannot do much either in local competitions or in bigger events. We can only wait now to see what their appearance is like.

Don't know if the new format will be easier for the new teams coming into the Champions League, basically it's a tough competition I'm not so sure about Girona but we don't know how they'll fare next season whether there will be any changes or not, but usually the underdogs won't stay up for long.

Prediction: I don't have much hope for Girona, it's a small team but even if it's a surprise there's no expectation because we know they'll lose at some point, their mentality of playing in the Champions League doesn't have much experience, because of this tournament the mentality of the players also affects it.

It is not right to add Bayern Munich to the list of favorite teams even though Bayern Munich has a good achievement in the Bundesliga but still, Bayern Munich also does not have a big achievement in the Champions League. Thus, I think it is not right if you judge Bayern Munich as the favorite team to win the Champions League trophy. Because after all, in the Champions League basically only Real Madrid always has a good chance to get the trophy every season. Because at least, other teams that have a chance to be able to play in the final match also at least depend on the situation in the same season too.

After all, even though other teams managed to qualify for the Champions League final match but in reality, they still find it difficult to win in the final match if the opponent they face is Real Madrid. Therefore, I personally believe that at least only Real Madrid has a good chance, even though there is also Manchester City but still, that Real Madrid also has better quality than other teams.

I have checked the odds for rematches in second qualifying round and it is really disappointing.    Too low odds given to favourites this time such as 1.10, 1.20 etc. so I don't think it is worth taking the risk by adding so many of them on a multi betslip.

Playoff round games would probably be much more attracting to bettors. You know there will be strong teams more in number. The playoff round draw is going to take place on August 5. Teams like Galatasaray, Shakhtar Donetsk, Young Boys and more are going to play in that round. I'm looking forward to the league phase though.    It would be nice to follow whether some underdog teams will surprise us.

Been financially stronger than Newcastle does not make Girona better than them, although they are both strong teams, but Newcastle United's wealth couldn't help them secure the Champions League spot, it was Aston Villa this season.

There will actually be some surprises in the Champions League next season, we have new teams that did credibly well in their respective leagues to make it to the Champions League, and all of these teams come with good intentions to either win the Champions League or make a good effort to see if they can go above the group stage to either quarterfinals or semifinals which I think will be difficult for them because of how almost all teams are trying to improve their teams.

He had high hopes when he decided to come to Bayern Munich, but Leverkusen ruined his dreams in his first season at Bayern Munich. It was truly unexpected, Bayern Munich who had always dominated the Bundesliga had to accept the bitter reality, Bayern Munich failed to win a trophy when Harry Kane was in their squad.
Whether this has something to do with Harry Kane status, who has always failed to win a trophy, or whether it is time for Bayern Munich to let go of its dominance after Leverkusen managed to improve its performance. He also failed to help England win the Euros, whether this season Bayern Munich can return to success with Kompany or will experience a bad season due to the curse of Harry Kane who always fails to win a trophy.

There are many new or surprise teams that will play in the Champions League next season, but of these teams, Girona actually tends to be stronger financially than Newcastle before, but even so, we can't expect much from surprise teams who don't have the mentality and experience in the  Champions League, just like you, I also suspect that teams like Girona, Bologna, Atlanta, Brest and even Stuttgart and Leipzig will not be able to do much in the Champions League next season even though they are currently improving their squad, the quality of the squad that a teams has team does not guarantee that the team can easily compete in the champions league so far and we can see how every season PSG continues to improve the quality of their team but instead continues to fail in the champions league, because the existence of competitive competition in the champions league has always required a team must the mentality, performance and also high consistency to be able to do it.

There are worse options than what happened to Newcastle - for example Union Berlin. They failed in the Champions League and miraculously remained in the Bundesliga, were very close to relegation. But I think that despite the fact that Girona lost several players, such a failure is not threatening them. I think they will be able to qualify for the 1/8 finals of the Champions League (in the new format it is much easier for newcomers) and then everything will depend on the draw.
