I am 100% confident that Ronaldo is not coming back to Real Madrid because it’s too late for him, and secondly Real Madrid do not need him now. Also what Mbappe did will be forgotten in the long term if he wishes to go to Real Madrid, because end of day he’ll yet be one of the most lethal striker and with him Real Madrid can continue to target more champions league titles.
Ronaldo wouldn't come back to Real Madrid, it's not about he was too late, but he want to end his career on his old club e.g. Manchester United where he become very popular until now. Not a good move for other clubs who want to buy Ronaldo, he's already old and he might only have around 3-5 years more before he will retire. Without Mbappe, Real Madrid can hunt other good players on low clubs.

Benzema has earned maximum respect for Real Madrid and as the current face of Real Madrid. I don't think it will be a problem for Benzema if CR7 comes back to Real Madrid. In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo is a name that attracts attention in the fans and in the media. Real Madrid failed in the transfer of Kylian Mbappé and only a big name like Crisitiana Ronaldo can close this file.
Seeing that his performances in Real Madrid have remained among the best in all of the teams to which he has transferred, I don't believe Ronaldo would want to return to Real Madrid, and you should be aware that times have changed. It wasn't like before, when Benzema would always stand by the side of crowds, cheering for others; now he wanted to represent even at his age, and you know, the jungle can't have two kings.
Mbape is still young and has a lot of potentials, but the fact that he gave them hope to come to Real Madrid and then switched because of money is a black mark on his career. Real Madrid fans booed him on the red carpet at one event last week and spread him water, and he deserved it. He should go and learn from notable players who were once like him and faded out.

Though City were favorites to win the league, I won't entirely blame Guardiola for not meeting the expectation of the club and the fans, yes it is the duty of the manager to recruit and put together the team to compete and win trophies which he obviously is doing but not to the required standard but I think the players also have the duty to themselves to put in their best and support the goal of the club, they have to go for it and do everything possible and putting there best to achieving that goal, I think it should be team work not just Guardiola.
Can you please say what made City the favourites to win the champions league?
How do you determine the favourites?
How many times has City won the league before?
Howany champions league experienced players did City go to champions league with?
Was City's forward better than Neymar, Mbappe and Messi combination?
Was it better than Diaz, Mane and Salah?
Was City's midfield better than Modric, Kroose and Casemaro?
What actually made them the favourites??

Many have had many complaints and disagreements about the way Real Madrid won and I think that Real Madrid scored the only goal necessary to win and that is what is required, the one who scores the goals is the one who wins, luck fctor? maybe, but there are a lot of teams looking for that luck and they don't.
Luck will not come repeatedly. Remember when they played against PSG, Chelsea and Man City. I think their patterns are almost similar. Did not have the ball and relied on counterattacks and effective finishing.

No one is lucky that Anceloti has thought about it all, the timing of the game being an addition to that success. I also don't agree madrid won because of luck. Their players have been mentally prepared and play more effectively.
Ronaldo made the best choice by leaving Real Madrid although Manchester United may have not been the best choice for Ronaldo to transfer to then that was the only available option for Ronaldo since he was undervalued at Real Madrid with the rejection of his new salary demand after performing extraordinarily to put the club in a good spot.
It's always about Business and from what I can see, Real Madrid made a pretty much good decision and deal as well. Fishing over 100M Euros from a-33 year old is no easy thing to do. Barcelona failed to even get a single cent out of 33-year-old Messi, Lol.

To judge his qualities as a coach, you need not more time, but more or less fair competition with other competitors. Many can take the top club with the best players and give results. I would like to see him take a club smaller than PSG/Bayern/City and be able to beat one of the listed monsters (not in one game but in the championship). But I think I will never see it because Guardiola will never take such a risk.
Been a good coach doesn't mean you have to do it with smaller teams. There aren't many managers that can handle star players and they'll flop at big clubs. Thomas Tuchel had issue because of big names in PSG but did well when he came to a club with average players in regards to media pressure and other things associated with stars figures. We saw him having same issue with Lukaku at Chelsea as well. Mauricio Pochettino took over Management at PSG and haven't done the best Job so far which is why there are rumors of PSG wanting to replace him.
It's one thing to manage a top club and it's another thing to bring the best out of them. A team having players such as Messi, Neymar, Mbappé etc can't be an easy job so many will flop at managing them. Every manager has their specialties, Pep is a good Manager and should be considered among the best out there.
Real Madrid needs to get new players because to build and strong team to compete. I read in a speculation that Real Madrid has allocated 400 million dollars budget for the transfer. I read today in a speculation that Cristiano Ronaldo was on Real Madrid's agenda.
There were some rumours regarding Cristiano Ronaldo to join Real Madrid in this transfer window but it was gone already in a short time. If this time is for real then I'm very excited about it already now. Cristiano Ronaldo has had his best years with Real Madrid so far surely. Therefore it sounds great to have him back there. But on the other hand this can be a problematic thing for Benzema. Because he is playing as a centre-forward now and he might have to play as a second striker or something like that when Ronaldo comes.

I disagree, you could have all kinds of players you want, and still fail to win, look at PSG right now, they have a magnificent squad, like unbelievable levels of talent, and what pochettino did with it. Plus, you guys may think that City is a marvelous team and you are right, but look at the players individually.Do you really think that all of them would be worth this much if they weren't in city? I mean put each o them on another big club, Bayern, Barcelona, Madrid, Dortmund, Juventus etc etc, and each would have a big fall in value. They are very valuable all together because of Pep if you ask me, they are great, but he makes them even better as a team.
True, I agree that Cristiano Ronaldo is not the only player who has made a big contribution to Real Madrid. At that time, almost all Real Madrid lines played very well, even in my opinion Real Madrid was the best club. But Cristiano Ronaldo is able to become the player with the highest rating, in my personal opinion.
Despite his declining form now, which made him stand out even more when he played for Real Madrid, Real Madrid are good at taking advantage of the advantages he has.
Unfortunately we don't have him in the Champions League next season because Manchester United didn't make it to the Champions League. Maybe it's time for Ronaldo to think realistically if he wants to play in the Champions League then he will have to choose another team next season, but it looks like he will stay at Manchester United.Despite his declining form now, which made him stand out even more when he played for Real Madrid, Real Madrid are good at taking advantage of the advantages he has.
As for anything related to stats so far, then I'm sure we all know what it's like by now. He can still score goals, make assists and contribute to his team, but it's clear he has changed because of his age. Maybe in the next 3-4 years we will lose this mega star figure in the field.
I really did not want him to stay in Manchester United because I think this team has been a waste of time for him. He has tried to do really well even without having any support and he also did well in my opinion but the team didn't provide him with anything except for doubting him and his ability even when he was performing.
I don't know if the next season is going to be any better but Manchester United is showing good signs so far. But I still believe that he should make a move to a team so that he can play in the Champions League.

I would like to see him take a club smaller than PSG/Bayern/City and be able to beat one of the listed monsters (not in one game but in the championship). But I think I will never see it because Guardiola will never take such a risk.Well, I actually think that will be going to happen if he does not bring home the Champions League trophy next time. Surly Manchester City will not keep him as a coach if he fails to do that.
This team has basically become a better PSG. Just like PSG, they are winning the English Premier League title but are not successful in the Champions League. And I have not mentioned that the Champions League is their main target yet. So, I think that is what he is getting ready for the next season.
It would be too much to ask for Messi to play like his times at Barcelona now. Because he is in a completely different place now and he is trying to perform well under this kind of a game plan. He isn't familiar with this too much due to being accustomed to Barcelona's game plan. However he is improving his performance at PSG slowly too. Maybe he wouldn't play like in the old times but he can still make a bigger contribution to the team next season. He had better do that to help PSG win the CL title finally.
Messi has also stated that after getting covid he is not really the same, now some may think this is just an excuse but there are many reports that even those that recover from covid suffer aftereffects that last for a long time, so even if Messi has been a super athlete for a long time it is obvious that this could have a severe effect on his abilities, so I hope that we can see a Messi which plays way better than what we have seen so far with PSG, even if it will nowhere near close to levels he reached when playing at Barcelona. Ronaldo made the best choice by leaving Real Madrid although Manchester United may have not been the best choice for Ronaldo to transfer to then that was the only available option for Ronaldo since he was undervalued at Real Madrid with the rejection of his new salary demand after performing extraordinarily to put the club in a good spot.
What makes the Real Madrid club in such a good place is not only Ronaldo alone, but many people who have contributed to making Real Madrid impressive and I don't think Ronaldo has ever been underestimated in the Real Madrid club despite the rejection of his new salary request. Due to Ronaldo's age at that time, I thought it was natural to move to another club because Ronaldo's current performance is no longer as good as in the past so it is only natural that Real Madrid let Ronaldo go to another club.
Messi has been playing consistently well all the time. But a lot has changed with time. Messi is not that young age like before. He is old enough now. That is why he could not play well in PSG. Due to which he is not able to perform like before. A team always depends on good players. A team's winning rate always depends on a good player. Messi has given a lot of good games for Barcelona. This achievement of Messi will remain forever. Real Madrid could play a key role as a candidate for the Champions League trophy.But they should still add a good player.
everyone knows that Messi, who is a great football player in the world, as time goes by, his age is increasing, so that Lionel Messi has decreased in performance so that he has not made a good contribution to PSG this season, especially PSG itself is inhabited by young stars.kinds of Mbappe and Neymar so that it also indirectly affects Lionel Messi's performance on the field, especially Lionel Messi himself is not a good boy at PSG like when he was still strengthening Barcelona, but we are very confident with Lionel Messi's contribution in the next season, especially PSG is reportedly looking for a new coach in the future. enter the competition next season

Maybe he wouldn't play like in the old times but he can still make a bigger contribution to the team next season. He had better do that to help PSG win the CL title finally.
Despite the fact that PSG is full of big players, for some reason sometimes we see them finding it difficult to break into the formation that supports the Champions League easily. In fact, it often happens out of sync. There is an influence or not when too many good enough players actually make each player show selfishness to each other in order to still look superior to the others which makes it not in accordance with expectations and goals.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo have bigger contribution for Real Madrid because he was success become top level standing player with scored goals several years on Bernabeu, he was success give Champion league trophy for Real Madrid but I think right now his level drop drastically. How ever Real Madrid have completed composition actually on Cristiano Ronaldo position, there are have Vinicius Jr with amazing performance last season and become good partner for Karim Benzema, will change room substitute if Ronaldo back to Real Madrid and I think not really good composition if have Ronaldo on Madrid team next season.

Ronaldo is a top Manchester United player that is highly respected by the club and even though some of his demands were not met, it doesn't mean the management disrespected the player but just admin policy.
For me, Guardiola's qualifications are still in great doubt - in Barcelona he came to the legacy of Rijkaard (where there were already the greatest players), won something and after he was beaten by Mourinho (many thought that Real would start a long domination) fled. Then he came to the already magnificent Bavaria, which had only one task: to win the Champions League. Failed. Then City with endless purchases, the most expensive team in the most expensive league. Yes, he has victories, but do they speak of his qualifications? It seems to me that the results that he achieved are highly expected in relation to the conditions that he had.
Yes, I agree with all the things that were mentioned about him. But I still believe that he should be given a little more time. I think he is still a good coach and if he had a little more attacking flexibility he could have come out with a win against Real Madrid in the Champions League. So, he should be given time for at least one more season and after that, if he fails to prove his worth then these things will make a lot more sense.
To judge his qualities as a coach, you need not more time, but more or less fair competition with other competitors. Many can take the top club with the best players and give results. I would like to see him take a club smaller than PSG/Bayern/City and be able to beat one of the listed monsters (not in one game but in the championship). But I think I will never see it because Guardiola will never take such a risk.
