But if we consider each club's squad and their overall performance next season, City and Madrid naturally have to be considered hot favorites for the Champions League title. Because the performance of these two teams is stable and the squad is also very strong. However, Inter Milan, Munich, Arsenal or Barcelona also have the chance to perform well.
There are still shortcomings that Guardiola must improve next season, I think their defense line is still not that strong, they need to recruit new players who can guard the back line at Manchester City so that it is much stronger next season, another thing is also Manchester City's front line Don't rely too much on Haaland there, they need players on the front lines who are truly productive and can be goal machines, the competition between the two will definitely be very tight, which is why Guardiola will avenge his failure in the UCL last season. Mbappe's joining will also make things difficult for Manchester City next season unless they also make changes to their main squad.
- Guardiola buy young defenders:
As one of the most favorite coaches will say, defenders win trophies and titles for the club. Any club that has good defense line will definitely do well in a particular season. However, some clubs do not depend too much on their defense because their attackers can be able to score a lot of goals. This was the fate of Liverpool some seasons ago and even Manchester city. When they scored an average of 3 goals every match, it will be difficult for their opponents to equalize.
- Guardiola to sign another world class striker:
You said this will bring competition and improve performance. It is right, but not many world class strikers will want to be a second option.
