⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 winner - Real Madrid!

Yea with the new signing real Madrid will perform better next season, even though they won the championship but some of the players need to move to other club players like Benzema.

Real Madrid really had a great season. Winning both the La liga and Champion League title. Although, their squad seems quite strong. But, it will be nice if they probably strengthen it with some talented players. Because, next season will be more tougher, and they need to be well prepared. However, Benezema have been a goal machine in the team ever since Ronaldo departed from Madrid. Nevertheless, he has to play In other clubs in order to face new challenges.

I would say that as long as Benzema is in form and able to maintain his fitness, the Real Madrid team will not have to rely on any other striker. He is an extraordinary player. At the same time his fitness was so excellent that he suffered very few injuries. However, Real Madrid should look for another talented striker. Real Madrid must be ready to replace Benzema. Otherwise they will face problems in future.

I believe in the posibilities of real Madrid if the current transfer plans go as planned and if there signing of new and skillful players that can transform the club to a better position in the next season.

Benzema is 34, time is not on his side, not everyone can be Christino Ronaldo. I doubt he'll have another fantastic season like this one (wining both domestic and champion league trophy and also having those individual records). He should be thankful he had one of his best season and soon will be going home with the balon d'or. If anything was to make him not win it this time (which I doubt) then it's over for him.

Real Madrid definitely needs a goal scoring threat and not just a striker which is probably why they were trying to get Kylian Mbappé bust since that didn't work out, they should start scouting as just benzema can help them this time around.

In any case, such big clubs as Real Madrid should strengthen every year to have a certain margin of safety. Well, specifically in the case of Real Madrid, there is a situation when such team leaders as Modric and Benzema are not getting younger and can dramatically slow down their results at any time. Therefore, in any case, the club needs to strengthen. Maybe not to arrange a complete restructuring of their squad, but still maintain the necessary level of competition between reserve and base players. The most important thing here is not to live up to the moment when the players can no longer cope with their tasks and cannot cope with their rivals, who, unlike your club, have changed and progressed.

i don't think Benzema needs to find another club, he's doing just fine at real madrid being the star of the team, no reason for the team to let him go unless he wanted to, but what real madrid should do is find a good striker as Benzema is getting older and they don't have a good replacement for him so far, so Real Madrid will try their best to keep Benzema as long as he keeps performing so well.

he's at the right club, I don't see another club that equates performance with Real Madrid. If Benzema wants to have experience outside the club I think it's wasting his time and will make him regret to back and want to Madrid again. Especially,  unless he's not needed anymore. But in Real Madrid, the club and fans is still needed him to get the target of 2023. So what Real Madrid does for the next session is find who can able to supply the ball for him.

In what cases should Benzema move from Real Madrid?
Have you not seen how Karim Benzema has performed at Real Madrid this season? so you say you have to move to another club. Know that other players who come to Real Madrid may not necessarily be as good as Karim Benzema so I don't think Benzema needs to be transferred to another club even though he is 34 years old now.

I don’t think that Benzema will move to another club, because he knows that he can win the champions league again with Real Madrid and the only other club that could use his services would be is Liverpool in case they lose Mane, but I’m not sure that Klopp would bring him as Mane’s replacement. Lastly I’m expecting him to stay with Real Madrid and compete in the champions league and create history by winning it again, and I’ll be disappointed if he leaves when he’s performing so well for Real Madrid.

Benzema is now 34 and with his performance, looks like he still have about 2 active years left. That was exactly why Real Madrid wanted Mbappe. But since Mbappe only agreed a three years contract extension in PSG, I feel Real Madrid would get him when his contract expires. Because by then Benzema wouldn’t be at his peak no more. But until then, Benzema's overall trophy haul is already extremely impressive and he has his eyes set on even more glory over the next few seasons. He’s an experienced player and knows how to manage his fitness, so far as he’s injury free, I don’t see how he’ll drop in form.

They won't, Mbappé better win it all at PSG because he's unlikely to get a move to Real Madrid that would had given him more spotlight and greater opportunity to be in the conversation about the bests and probably get him some personal awards like the Ballon d'Or etc. The Real Madrid boards aren't happy with Mbappé for playing them the way he did and used them in getting a higher paycheck from PSG. The fans too aren't happy with Mbappé so probably the whole dream of playing in the Real shirt is over.

If I'm not mistaking, the president of the clubs and the league entirely (that's la Liga) has showed interest to sue PSG and all this is because of the Mbappé deal. Mbappé cost Real Madrid so much as I'm positive, they didn't pick interest in Haaland just because they thought they got him (Mbappé) and now they lost both.

Real Madrid as the team with player composition above 35 years old like Karim Benzema and Modric but still as regular player on the team, I think not any chance for Karim Benzema trying get new club except he has chance back to old club Lyon or try with MLS. Become top scorer for Real Madrid on La Liga and UEFA Champion League I think he keep priority as central forward for Real Madrid on next season after club not get agreement with new forward until nowadays, I think after losing Mbappe not any new forward are serious for Real Madrid, maybe still have chance with Madrid without any transfer on forward position.

About that I guess that Karim Benzema will end his career at Real Madrid. Too much old to change Team. Hope that he will play until the 40 years, it is really fantastic to see him  .

Anyway, that wouldn'be a bad idea if Real madrid starts to find another player for the future which will be the substitute of Benzema.

Real Madrid management always has long-term plans. They wanted to recruit young talented players like Mbappe or Haaland. But they have failed. Now they will probably look for another young player who will be able to serve the Real Madrid team for a long time. Otherwise Real Madrid will have to wait a few seasons to get Mbappe on the team.

Benzema will probably stay at Real Madrid until the end of his career. He is now about 35 years old. At the moment, if he goes to play in a new league, his performance will deteriorate. It also takes some time to adapt to the new team.

Not too old for a striker position like Benzema, because that position will be more often up front and doesn't drain as much stamina as midfielders and defenders. Benzema has been at the Santiago Bernabeu for more than ten years, and I see his contract expiring next year. I think Benzema will end his career at another club or return to France. In addition, at the age of Benzema, who is still able to become the top scorer in the Champions League this season, it is an extraordinary achievement.

Of course every footballer must have his golden age, I think maybe Benzema will be able to maintain his good game for at least 2 more years because he is also old. Real Madrid has repeatedly targeted a talented young player, namely Mbappe, but has failed now, I think Real Madrid must be realistic that it is impossible to bring him back to Real Madrid.
I think Peres has to find a replacement for Mbappe. It is impossible to continue to hope in Benzema if you want to continue to dominate the Spanish La Liga.

There are other players who can be a good fit for Real Madrid,from South American leagues like Argentina and Brazil,if they really wanted to get talented players like Mbappe and Haaland they can in these leagues,most often the management of Real Madrid has always looked at such leagues to get especially talented midfielders or a wing man.Nevertheless Real Madrid is getting somewhat boring by winning this trophy a lot of times in the last 10 years.

We are far from the official new season but in July we should have some preliminary qualifiers from the not so good quality leagues that are in my opinion a gold mine in terms of betting.Usually these games end like they should.

I agree with you that Benzema is not too old for his striker position. His fitness is still very good. And so he will be able to maintain this extraordinary fitness for at least two more seasons. But Real Madrid must find a replacement for Benzema now. When a new player joins the team, it takes a long time to adjust to the team's players. And so this is the right time to look for Benzema's replacement.

[Jackl87]

Yea with the new signing real Madrid will perform better next season, even though they won the championship but some of the players need to move to other club players like Benzema.

I think that the officials of Real Madrid are smart and objective enough to know that they need to make some changes to their squad even though they had an extremely successful season this year. If we look at the performances of Real Madrid in the Champions League then i think it its pretty obvious that they also had an incredible amount of luck to really win this trophy in the end. For me they were the weaker team in all match-ups of the group stage so they could have easily be eliminated against Paris SG, against Chelsea FC and of course also against Manchester City where Real was completely outplayed in my opinion for the biggest part of the two games.

@zuzie, I personally don't really like it when old players are still playing and don't have a lot of movement with the aim of not draining a lot of stamina, because in my view even though Benzema is old but Benzema can still chase, find or grab the ball which means Benzema is not a spoiled player. Also, at this moment we can still find old players who are still actively playing and they are also the main players in the team, it looks like Forward is Benzema 34, Ronaldo 37, Messi 34, Ibrahimovic 40, for Midfielders we have Modric 36, for Defenders we have Thiago Silva 37, and for Goalkeeper we have Buffon 44 even though Buffon only plays in Serie B but at that age I think Buffon is time to retire but Buffon chose to keep playing and serve Parma. Therefore, when players are still fit and still want to play then they will certainly be able to do it, even though they have to play in the Champions League it will still be fine.
