Nothing will stop Man City.

While it is not a regular season this but for me the wild COVID season was last season, Manchester City will be hard to be toppled in Britain.
In the BPL from the look of it but the CL is a totally different story imho

Unless UEFA find something dodgy and deduct them 10 points or something.

Bayern may be the best team in Europe but the Bundesliga is still a weak league.

Good for your health, you can still party without drinking you just relearn how to party because it will be a little different but you can make a lot of fun out of it
Bayern is just focused on the CL and can afford to lose some points and this is Bayern which always lose focus when not much at stake "Mia san Mia"
It is a top 5 league filled with talent and quality, there is a reason why you see the top clubs from all top leagues clamoring for players playing in the Bundesliga every transfer window.

[La Razon] Manchester United are willing to offer up to €70m for Sevilla's Jules Koundé. Real Madrid are interested too, but would not even remotely be able to reach that figure. PSG would be willing to pay his €90m release clause

Koundé instead of Alaba please.

Premier League to show all games live on TV until fans able to return to stadiums
The continued absence of supporters from stadia amid the Covid-19 pandemic means the Premier League will continue to make matches available for fans to watch live in the UK; all matches from January 30 through to the last weekend of February already being shown live in the UK

[OptaPaolo] Federico Chiesa is the first Juventus player other than Cristiano Ronaldo to score a goal for the Bianconeri in the UCL knockout stage since Blaise Matuidi in April 2018 (in the quarterfinals against Real Madrid).

Antonio Cassano: "Cristiano Ronaldo is selfish, and does not care if other Juventus players score. He is the kind of player that lives to score, not for the game... The years pass for everyone and he is having difficulties."
I don't think that's how Juve fans feel.

Maddison: "When Spain dominated international football, everyone was talking about their technical football. When I was growing up because I was smaller than others my touch had to be perfect. Maybe this era with Phil, Mason, me and Jack, maybe that's the type of player we'll produce more of."

It used to be like that plus the previous year CL champions.
I think the current format is fine if they made the 3rd and 4th spots in the top leagues go to qualification rounds instead of automatic entry into the the tournament.
