101greatgoals.comManchester City will conclude its season against Aston Villa on Sunday in what is expected to be Pep Guardiola's final match as manager. The club has secured six Premier League titles and 20 trophies over his ten seasons in charge.
The club faces the task of replacing a manager whose methods produced consistent success. Rival clubs have experienced difficulties after similar leadership changes, with some new managers struggling to maintain prior performance levels. The squad remains among the strongest in world soccer and has won titles before Guardiola's arrival.
Officials expect the team to continue competing at a high level after the transition.
Messi recorded 10 goal involvements in Inter Miami's last 10 games ahead of the World Cup. He assisted a goal in Sunday's match against the Portland Timbers and has conducted additional training sessions with teammate Rodrigo De Paul. Messi has not yet confirmed whether he will join Argentina's squad for the tournament.
Celtic defeated Hearts to claim the Scottish Premiership title for the 14th time in 15 seasons. Hearts led the table for 250 days before the final match but could not secure the championship. Celtic operated with three different managers during the campaign and faced supporter protests after two transfer windows. The club holds £77m in reserves and plans further spending ahead of next season.
