Which is why I said they'd want depth. Regardless of having Mendy, playing midfielders at left back isn't a long term fix.

They have Danilo too. Some combination of Danilo+Delph+Zinchenko is solid backup. It'll be difficult to find a major upgrade that would be satisfied with the game time they'd get, though I guess they could try. But the only top-six side in (arguably) better shape there is Spurs, and I don't think they'll hold on to Rose after this summer.
I think Citeh might be better off preparing for David Silva's decline. That might mean signing someone to play there (one of Shakhtar's Brazilians maybe?) or playing Bernardo there and signing another right-winger. Could be a good time to swap out Aguero for a younger striker too.

Usually not far from now I guess. My excitement for it won’t really start until another season ends in heartbreak though

They definitely plan on signing a winger, the pursuits of Sanchez and then Mahrez indicate that. Strong mail that City will be after Leon Bailey in the summer from a lot of ITK's. Bernardo is definitely the planned David replacement IMO. In regards to the wing-back thing, I do think they'll be on the look for a backup LB but I think they might try and make it a home-grown player. Not sure who that is, though. There is definitely enough games to go around if this season is any indication.
After this fantastic season I imagine Aguero will be staying until his contract is up, which is another 2 seasons after this one I think. I doubt the club would dare to sell him, backlash would be immense, but I guess it's possible. If he does go I really hope it's either to Athletico or back to Argentina, don't think I could stomach him in a Real shirt.

They're weak everywhere but up front. I had really fancied them to go through, but then I saw their lineup for the first game and realised a combined XI would just be Real Madrid's entire team with Neymar and Mbappe shoehorned in.

Verratti isn't a big game player. He was woeful in Barcelona last season and he chucked it last night with a stupid red card.
He's talented, but I don't think he has the mental strength to be a truly top player.

Going across the border to Wales?When your team get to a Wembley final and you can't go as you are in another country.
Funnily enough I saw a friend who I knew is a Coventry season ticket holder a few weeks after the final last year and asked how he enjoyed it. Turns out he'd booked a holiday and missed the game. He also did the same thing in 1987...
