With the drums beating in the UEFA Europa League group stage, a new round of "Champion" competition is about to take place. Last season, Manchester City won the Triple Crown, and with the growth of Ayn Rand and the team, they are expected to perform at a higher level this season. Despite the departures of Gundogan and Malles, the new additions such as Kovacs and Gavadore have given the team a new edge. Even with the injury of Chiyun Dibny, the team's performance in the league has not been affected too much. With Gaudiona's solid tactical system, Manchester City is expected to be another team to defend the UEFA Europa League after Real Madrid.
A solid choice for Real Madrid
Let's look at the other favorites, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Napoli are in a state of decline, while Bayern Munich and La Liga are gaining strength. With Bayern bringing in Khalilani, Barcelona loaning in Zulfiarius, and Real Madrid signing Zudibinenway, the performance of these three teams is highly anticipated. However, in terms of third line balance, second line player strength and coaching experience, Real Madrid seems to be more trustworthy, with Anzalotti's UEFA Champions League record for all to see.
