    Ronaldo sure lol. But nah not Messi. First of all they got Messi for free so it’s not like they spent a transfer fee for him. Messi also isn’t the only person they brought in. And also Messi is still the best player in the world or at least very arguably so. With Messi PSG are very competitive in the ucl this year. Not saying they are the favorites but surely one of them.

    Psg was very competitive in the ucl last few years

    ucl require luck as well as skills. Very rare for a team as big of a d-ck as byern to destroy it like they did couple of years ago

    @Koolo is right. PSG reached semifinals and the final in the last 2 years in the Champions league. More competitive then this means to win it and I don't believe just by adding Messi to the team they can do that is not like they were lacking good players upfront.

    They absolutely can. And Messi is more than “just a good player upfront”. Not guaranteed, but possible. Which teams as of rn do you feel have more of a chance btw?

    He didn’t “fail” at juve individually but he wasn’t much of a success either. There’s a reason allegri and juve didn’t want him anymore.

    First of all you have to consider they will lose Mbappe and that will not be good for them.

    I think City will win the champions league this year and I'll also bet on Bayern or Chelsea to win a 2 leg game against PSG cause let's be honest if they meet City is game over. City made them look like Rennes when they met last year in the semifinals lol.

    But anything can happen man, they can win the competition without losing they have a strong squad, I just don't see it happening but I can be wrong of course.

    Just like you won the league last January. Pipe down you haven’t come close in nearly a decade and it isn’t changing soon. Just accept your mediocrity.

    City and Chelsea could be considered better that’s fair enough. Tuchel and pep are much better coaches than pochettino. My point is that I don’t think psg should be counted out. They have a high chance.

    One thing's certain, CR7 definitely felt some regret leaving RM. I'm pleased he found his way back to a place that he belongs to. Him and Varane to this team, I say they can win the league, especially with how good Bruno Fernandes is + Pogba. I honestly don't care about EPL anymore, but I'll be slightly rooting for MUFC to win the league. Kinda. Don't care if they don't end up winning s---.

    Also good thing the announcement for CR7's deal came before Mbappe's.

    Probably the craziest transfer window ever.

    Mbappe's deal finna break the internet. Hala Madrid. The boy is steps away from realizing his dream and destiny. The effort this guy kept and held on to the promise made by Perez to him few years back on how he's gonna bring him to RM one day and how he rejected every renewal offer from PSG in spite of being pressured. Florentino Perez was planning and working on this deal since few years ago realistically (contacts between Perez and Mbappe's dad were made on several occasions previously). It's time for our next hero to come home. I have NEVER been invested with a Real Madrid deal as much as this. The anticpation for Mbappe's deal has been going on for far too long. He's THE CHOSEN ONE for Real Madrid. That's why it's so special to us Madridistas. We know he's the spark that will enlighten and energize the team to the future. He's meant to play for Real Madrid.

    Nah not mad its the best for him and us. We was better before ronaldo came. You will see soon enough when fake mbappe moise kean returns we will score 1000 goals. In don allegri i trust. Juventus were always super successful not because of one player

    Great bit of business from United. Rivals are definitely salty LOL CR7, Varane and Bruno will push/demand 110% from their teammates… I can see United challenging City all the way now.


    Should have a good run in Europe too. Maybe not winners but they should progress far.

    Add a quality CDM to that squad and you’ve got enough depth to challenge on all fronts.

    Juventus had the best transfer window this season. We got a euro champion with locatelli. We got a world class brazilian talent with kaio jorge he will be worth 300 million in 3 years. We sold Ronaldo and bring back kean. And the best if the best we got don allegri back who will bring us back dominating the italian league and we will definitely win champions league this year
