There's a reason I rate Fergie so highly, he built one title-winning team after another. It is easy to get to the top to staying there is another thing entirely because rival teams will raise their game to unseat you.

I rate Zidane because winning the UCL 3 times in a row is unheard of.

Next season, I expect the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Utd, and Newcastle to give City a stronger challenge.

Ferguson never went up against a world class coach in the league. Mourinho came in and won the league back to back. I believe Ferguson In this current era will struggle to win more more than two league the title.

Greatihex:
nobody needs to drag him. He is a fraud.

Fraud that won 3 champions league in a row. Everybody na fraud to una.

pkasso:
See shalaye. City won the game. EOD. It would be have been a more different game, if it wasn't a final. City were understandably cautious, with the high stakes. They got the job done in the end, that was all that mattered.

I'm not mad..
You just said half-truth just to exonerate Man u ineptness in the final.

Man u didn't make it easy for them but na inter Milan made it easy for them shey?

De Gea gifted them 2 goals, but we should exclude Lautaro miss and Lukaku blunder too ba?

Abi nobody expected Man city to beat Una in that final ni?

No matter how you want to paint it, Man u also partook in Man city treble. And they did it with their full chest. So it's only fitting you should say it as it is

Using half-truths to pass your point no gel

Allow him wallow in deceit.

Watching yesterday match I see inter Milan two striker system wrecking havoc on that Pep 3-2-2-3 system. A well rounded 3-5-2 formation like Inter had the potential to cause damage to that City system.

Like I thought Inter Milan matched city perfectly and contained them. They created more clear cut chances and should have won the match. More teams will be adopting a 3 at the back formation against City.

Sportsweb:
a lot of teams

Nope, Just two i think. United 2008, United 1999 and this Man city. Bayern did in 2020 but it was in empty stadiums and one legged ties so doesn't count.

pkasso:
See im mouth. . Go commot am nau. Like say no be ball dem play. Anybody and everybody for collect that year.

Was there one legged ties and empty stadiums?

Adiwana:
I said it during the World Cup that Song na clown for dropping Onana cause he wanted him to change over night from Sweeper Keeper to person wey go dey hoof ball.

You didn’t know the profile of the goalkeeper you were calling. You just saw a big name and decided to add him to your squad. Then 2nd game into a tournament, you want a player to completely change the way they play football. No be madness be that?

Onana was their best keeper and Cameroon was not going to play possession based football and back passing with that their squad.

A40:
Bayern won it without draw talkless of defeat

One legged ties and empty stadiums doesn't count.

ZionPriest:
Bayern Munich

Not counting COVID tax and one legged knock out.

Which other team has won the champions league undefeated?

Borntosmoke:
Onana na midfielder no be keeper I swear

Is it not the same Onana Cameroon coach told to stop passing from the back and be playing long balls but he refused and left the world cup.

Italian teams have lost two finals already.

Jokerman:
N’Golo Kanté is on the verge of joining Al Ittihad on free transfer! Final details are being discussed then proposal will be accepted 🚨🟡⚫️🇸🇦 #CFC

Al Ittihad directors just arrived in London to link up with PIF Saudi delegation to prepare documents.

€100m per year until 2025.

China tried this same nonsense and now they have corrected their mistakes. How many players are they going to offer insane wages before money finish.

That said, nothing should stop the incorporation of Cesare Casedei into our midfield personnel in this coming season. We have a gem in our hands.

Bohley first gem. This is the person we should be thinking about adding to the squad next season on full time basis not someone like Odoi.

ItisHi:
see talk! Regret over a below average player.

Chelsea getting 60 to 80million for Mount is one of the best deal in football history. Add another 40 to 50million for Gallagher and that's 110million quids in the bag for two mid players. Goes a long way to settle our FFP issues.

nateevs:
I am happy reading this. I am one of the few that still believe that under the right guidance, CHO will become good. Let's hope he can make good use of the opportunity. Maybe Poch can do it.

Become Good in what aspect exactly? What exactly is Cho good at? He went to Bayernliga and scored 0 goals with 1 solitary assist. Cho is a bang average player that should have been sold a long time ago. We are very good at keeping deadwoods and loaning them over multiple years instead of selling once and for all.

nateevs:
I think to Chelsea. Apparently Poch's been busy getting in touch with targets and convincing them of the project.

Allister and Ugarte in midfield? I am consider that an excellent window for midfield recruitment. Enzo, Allister, Ugarte will go toe-to-toe with any midfield in the world.

What exactly is special is this Ugarte and for 60miliion quids we should pass. We need some steel and power in midfield not another relatively small, neat and tidy player. I am a big fan of us going for Joao Palhinha at Fulham. Tall, energetic and produces inch perfect tackles in midfield. Reminds me of Matic at his peak. Only downsize is his age but he's just 27.

This club should not be unfortunate to offer kante a new contract. Season has ended yet no club is rushing to offer him any contract should tell us everything about kante.

2nd time Harry Kane is scoring 30league goals without winning the golden boot.

Supersport pays 222million dollars to be able to broadcast Premier league matches and some of you will be complaining when DStv increases prices not knowing you are getting it for cheap, infact too cheap. People in Europe are paying up to $80 monthly for 3 different tv subscription just to watch matches while you are getting all the top leagues and champions league for less than 10 dollars.

Lol. Mainz ensured Taliban Tuchel somehow won the league.

A pyrrhic victory if I've ever seen one to an absolute disaster of a season

Yes City are the best team in Europe and Upamenonsense didn't help matters but just like at Chelsea where he did wuruwuru to champions league and ran out of gas what is his actual pattern and how does he set up his team to consistently compete?

Relax. Full pre season with your squad and a good summer window then watch Tuchel perform his magic. Tuchel teams have always been free flowing and high scoring.

Congratulations to Thomas Tuchel.

Capaldi:
Even when Bayern Munich wants to have pity on Dortmund, they will use their own hands to bottle it and dash the league back to Bayern.

The Tottenham and Pochettino of Germany.

andrew444:
To early to judge
Dortmund will win

It's finished. 2:0

Bottle merchant. It's over

WhoDeyHause:
4 hours 40 minutes more till you become trophyless. I will be there no matter what.

Hopefully Dortmund won't bottle it like usual.

andrew444:
Abraham a better goal scorer than mitrovic ?

Wow ,things are really happening

Before this break out season for Oshimen in Napoli, Tammy Abraham was even a better goal scorer than him yet you are comparing him to a championship merchant like Mitrovic.

pkasso:
Happy Children's day, my guy

Wish you the same.

pkasso:
Lmao. You are shameless. A secondary school student would put up a better defence in favor of Abraham. Is 29,30 anywhere near 43? Wetin your Abraham do at the same level with the same calibre of teams?

Abraham wey no fit even sniff England bench. Dem go call Wilson, Watkins before dem even remember am. Mitrovic is a starter and record goalscorer for a team that parades a Juventus striker, and an ex-Real Madrid forward,

Mitrovic wey wan give Ororo HBP Balkan Balotelli First Son of Belgrade, you no dey fear!

If he likes he scores 150goals in the championship that's for his own pocket. When Mitrovic scores 15 plus league goals twice In any of Europe top leagues we can have this discussion. As at 2023 in Europe top leagues Tammy Abraham sh.its on Mitrovic as a goalscorer. I really hope Bayern takes your advice and buys him.

pkasso:
Lol. Person score 43 goals, a season record, e dey mention 29, 30. Bring out Abraham Championship numbers, make we compare. Of course, goals in the EPL carry more weight than ones in the Championship.

You are comparing the stats of Abraham who played for Chelsea and Roma, top clubs in England and Italy to someone who played for relegation teams in Newcastle and Fulham. For the first time in his EPL career, Mitrovic is playing in a half-decent attacking team and the results are there for everyone to see, averaging more than a goal every 2 games including goals against multiple top 6 sides.

I no even wan go international level, cos that one na no-contest. Abeg, make Abraham shift for where Mitrovic dey.

If he likes he scores 100goals in the championship nobody is taking it serious when bums like Solanke and Murphy are getting 29 and 30 respectively.


You are giving excuses. Tammy already has 2 seasons of 15plus league goals in 2 of Europe top leagues. When Mitrovic does it then we can have this conversation. As for now Tammy is a better goal scorer than Mitrovic as far as Europe top leagues are concerned.
