Even the opening match has not happened yet. People were speculating if Manchester City could take the trophy again.. It's caused by city is still very strong at this moment.
Even though some key players were leaving from the club like gundogan and mahrez or even walker. The club has recruited new talented players who are as skilled as the departing veterans. I see no problem when people are talking about which club that potentially win UCL.
The transfer season has been making the situation in the club become dynamic and that's unpredictable. There will be so many changes for the upcoming seasons, especially for manchester city.
No doubt with Manchester City is very strong teams right now, but current update many important player leaves Manchester City and I don't sure they will sign the same level players. İlkay Gündoğan and Kyle Walker have confirmed will leave Manchester City next season after accepting join with Barcelona and Bayern Munich, its still not stop for players leave Manchester City because Bernando Silva announced not extend contract with City and will follow İlkay Gündoğan for joining with Barcelona.
Inside Manchester City loss Mahrez after joining with Al Ahly as Saudi Pro League teams, many composition change with Manchester City next season and actually new players will need time for adapting with Guardiola games style.
Actually, new players also certainly have experience and it will not be difficult for him to adapt. Also about Manchester City itself which is rumored to win the title again, of course it is a speculation that may be excessive. But even so, it certainly does not rule out the possibility for Manchester City to be able to repeat the same success as last season. But yes, of course it will never be easy to maintain it but at least, Manchester City will still have a chance and that means, Manchester City still cannot be fully confirmed to be able to win back the title next season only possibly, still have a chance.
