I wonder who Tuchel wants next season. But as far as I remember, many of PSG's recent transfers were not that great

Leonardo and him clashed over signings and I think he maybe had less say than he would of wanted. Also renewals for players such as Cavani and Thiago Silva.

Again, not the point. I didn't say the other Bundesliga sides aren't good enough or aren't competitive. They are good and competitive but not good enough to beat Bayern over the course of a season. For example, twice in the last 3-4 seasons Bayern gave everyone else a "headstart" and the others, especially Dortmund, bottled the chance to win the Bundesliga. And yes, they are good to cause one or two shocks around in Europe but not quite good enough to go all the way and do it consistently every season. 

It's both case. Yes, Juventus have dropped their level but at the same time, Inter and Milan have also improved. Inter with their heavy investment and Milan with their development of young players and blend with the more experienced players. Part of the reason why Juventus were able to win so many consecutive league titles was because the others weren't good enough like Inter and Milan. 

In any case, at least there's a bit more excitement to the Serie A title race these days, even if Juventus might win it again. Compare it to the Bundesliga, there's like a Grand Canyon separating Bayern and the rest of the team when it comes to the title race. 

I suppose but tbf its nothing suprising either, Bayern are arguably miles ahead of most top teams in Europe also not just Bundesliga teams. Even losing Thiago and next season Boateng and Alaba they will still be one of the best teams in Europe comfortably.  

Serie A will be interesting more now but still think this goes on cycles, in a few seasons likely one team will be a dominant force again and then La Liga will be great for neutrals as its a mix up of a few good teams going the title, cant see past Atletico this season who have 2 games in hand but they will probably sell/Barca and Real will invest heavily. Then the PL or other leagues. Bundesliga maybe not but Klopp showed it could be done with Dortmund and Hasenhuttl also had Leipzig running Bayern when Carlo was there but changed when they got Rid of him. Nagglesmann potentially if they kept their best players could of been one that may have disrupted them but doesnt fit Leipzigs business model to keep their top players.

Apparently Alaba will announce his decision to leave Bayern later today, Tuesday.

ZZ is a fraud without peak CR7

Zidane just recently won La Liga without Ronaldo though.

Why hasn't any other manager in Real Madrid won the CL three times in a row with the same squad? Put some respect on Zizou.

they didn't have as good a supporting cast

ZZ is vastly overrated as a manager, sorry

They had a better supporting cast under Mourinho. It's such a poor excuse. Real Madrid right now have an aging squad and need to revamp. A lot of unmotivated and old players that have won it all are in that team. It's a incredible feat that he managed to squeeze so many titles out of this squad before they became unmotivated.

Someone that has won 3 CL, and 2 La Liga titles can't be overrated. This disrespect I see online about him is unreal, and just plain stupid in my opinion.

If you truly analyse the game, then you'd know that he tactically outclassed many managers on his way to get all those honours.

Lets put it this way. If VAR was the thing back in the day I do not think they would won once of those 3 titles. Same goes for Pep in 2 CL titles in Barca. Your avatar is about one.

Ok maybe Real once in first season when they had easy road to the final but then got lucky against Atletico with last second goal and penalties. 2 seasons after that they stole games from Bayern.

In Spanish footy is always about Real vs Barca so one LaLiga in 3 season is hardly a success. Last season it was the fight who is more worse and Real won. No one deserved title. This season again and Atletico is using very well this situation.

Do you know how many teams I can name besides Barca and Real that have won the CL after getting horrible decisions for them? I find it weird that the logic is only used for Zidane's Real Madrid.

Look at Mourinho's Inter for example, and another example is SAF's Manchester United I can go on and on and on.

Niklas Sule has received several inquiries from top clubs. Chelsea with Thomas Tuchel, especially, are very interested. Everything's possible in the summer. Bayern have so far not signaled to Sule that they want to sell him.

[Blues Forever 1,232]

Tuchel wants Jonas Hofmann at Chelsea. Starting to worry about Tuchel, his transfer history at Mainz, Dortmund, and PSG were a bit underwhelming.
