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

Releasing a player after his golden age is over is a very profitable thing for a team like Real Madrid so it's only natural that Real Madrid have won more trophies or won in the several leagues they have played in the past and now. Moreover, if a player is getting old or his performance has started to dim, then it is appropriate to be released and that is not wrong in team management.

I still think that people are overreacting. I mean same with Lewandowski, and same with Benzema. They are having career periods right now, and they are playing amazingly well and there are people who talk about replacing those players.

Anyone who has ever worked in a sports enviroment would know that when you have a player at an old age, playing well, you can't load off that player for a lot of money, you can't really sell them for a high amount, even Ronaldo was a big shock when he moved to Juventus. So what do you do with them? Keep them, and squeeze every ounce of talent they have until they are too old and terrible, but not anytime before that and when they are still giving you something.

Real Madrid needs to get new players because to build and strong team to compete. I read in a speculation that Real Madrid has allocated 400 million dollars budget for the transfer. I read today in a speculation that Cristiano Ronaldo was on Real Madrid's agenda.

Real Madrid, having Ronaldo on there list!!!
That won't be one of there best deals I tell you. Ronaldo is still very much a good player, one that could deliver a team and he surely did his best to help Manchester United but, one man can't make an Island as we all know. Manchester players where not just up and doing and as such, there is little to the impact Ronaldo can make. In a good team, he would do well but, Real Madrid don't need no Ronlado anymore. His aged and the team needs some new youngsters to groom, harmonise and maintain a stand in the Laliga.

Madrid has a lot of players that the coach can play at any time. It's just that the current coach in my opinion is too focused on the main squad. Some big players are also not given the opportunity to show their quality.

I won't say focused on the first team but, Ancelotti is a type of coach that seems confident in his selection and formation. It's what I see about him and that way, his been able to avoid the mistakes Pep made both in the EPL and UCL; that is, wrong substitution. Next you know, you've substituted the right player with the wrong one and mess up your game.

I'm one of those who think that keeping players who have contributed is a must, even though these players are old. Because apart from not being
easy to find a substitute who has the same ability, selling players who contribute a lot can have an effect on the game of a team. So players
like Benzema, Lewandowski, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic should be players to keep as long as possible. Because it is evident from the names of
the players that I have mentioned, they make a very big contribution to their respective teams. So I support what you say, that as long as the player
can still give something positive, it is better not to let him go to another club. Unfortunately the Bayern management does not appreciate
what Lewandowski has given, until Lewandowski decided to leave and that would cost Bayern in my opinion. Because not necessarily Bayern
get players who can contribute as much as Lewandowski.

Real Madrid needs to get new players because to build and strong team to compete. I read in a speculation that Real Madrid has allocated 400 million dollars budget for the transfer. I read today in a speculation that Cristiano Ronaldo was on Real Madrid's agenda.

There were some rumours regarding Cristiano Ronaldo to join Real Madrid in this transfer window but it was gone already in a short time. If this time is for real then I'm very excited about it already now. Cristiano Ronaldo has had his best years with Real Madrid so far surely. Therefore it sounds great to have him back there. But on the other hand this can be a problematic thing for Benzema. Because he is playing as a centre-forward now and he might have to play as a second striker or something like that when Ronaldo comes.

Cristiano Ronaldo can't participants on champion league next season if try staying with Manchester United after failed finish on champion league spot standing. But move to Real Madrid is not good option because Ronaldo can't get regular poaition actually on left side have settle by Vinicius Jr and Karim Benzema as central forward. Not agree if Real Madrid wabt to get back Cristiano Ronaldo because he can't on top performance again right now.

I don't think it will be a problem for Benzema if CR7 comes back to Real Madrid. But Real Madrid rarely signed an old player, especially a player above 35 years old. So, I simply think Real Madrid won't sign CR7. Real Madrid must target a young striker because they always try to build their future squad. Their main target is still Mbappe although Mbappe decided to stay in PSG now. As an alternative for the next season, Real Madrid may consider some young rising strikers in the last season.

[Cookdata]

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.

I think, Real Madrid managements will do everything possible to sign in potentian players that will help Real madrid to perform better in next season. I believe, that Real madrid coach will introduce more tactices that will help the both new players and old players to perform better in next season than this season. Those talented players that the management are about to approve into Real madrid, it will really help their defense to be more stronger in next season than this season that made some teams to defeated them in the first leg.

They have enough young players of incredibly huge potential for the club with long contracts, but they are rich anyway, they have the power to afford but I hope they don't discard Benzema as some people have discussed above. Benzema has earned maximum respect for Real Madrid and as the current face of Real Madrid, I'm waiting to see how they are going to shuffle players for the next season. If Benzema still tops his skills to maintain the next Champions League for Real Madrid, Ancelotti will Bid anything to let him stay with him, he wouldn't want to lose a good gesture like him.

[zuzie]

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.

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.

At his age, he is now the top scorer in the Champions League, that is a great achievement. That's right, Real Madrid will have to prepare a replacement for him from now on. Because when Benzema can't play they are a little difficult to be creative up front, this proves that Real Madrid still can't get rid of this one player. If they can't see that and don't prepare a back-up or replacement for Benzema, they may be unstable up front. So they have to take advantage of the transfer window to recruit quality players.

I know Real Madrid understand that, and Real Madrid are also ready to face that situation, it's because some time ago tthey wanted mbappe to join real madrid, maybe it was Madrid's preparation step to leave Benzema, because after ronaldo left and maybe Benzema will leave soon too, they haven't found a new star, madrid have talented young players but i think they want more than that

Real Madrid won the Lalliga,and also the champions league from Liverpool,that everybody thought was favourite for the tittle.Karim Benzema and his friends showed Liverpool that experience is very important in the competition called the champions league.They shocked everyone by claiming the tittle from Liverpool FC.and after they won the champions league,I quickly went on to say that Karim Benzema deserves the world best this season because of his outstanding performance with Real Madrid.They are looking forward to adding Mbape to their team this transfer window,and if that deal materialises,then I think Real Madrid will give a major threat to any team they face next season.

But you can't expect something to repeat itself like this season for Real Madrid next season. Granted they have won a lot of Champions League titles to date but you can't underestimate another team next season to try to beat it early. Without a few new players they won't be as strong as this season, and I think next season Real Madrid won't be as lucky as this season which determines a second leg win against a top team at home from the last 16, quarter-finals to semi-finals.

In the Premier League, teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham are getting stronger as competitors for other teams in the Champions League. I still think Manchester City can put other teams in the Champions League in danger because their success in getting Haaland will increase their strength again.

Did you miss any news and other information about Mbappe? Though the news is everywhere now that Mbappe has extended his contract with PSG until 2025 and in fact, his contract was released at least in the middle of last month. Also, I don't agree when you say about everyone who thinks Liverpool are favorites for the title, it's funny I think if you judge everyone choose for Liverpool then where were the Madrid fans, were the Madrid fans favorites for Liverpool at that time?

mbappe should be the right player to rotate with Benzema if he is still in Madrid. Although Benzema is still productive, his age will certainly hinder his future performance. unfortunately, Madrid did not get mbappe, maybe there will be other choices that will become Madrid's mate.
Of course, Madrid wants something more from the young players. they will release a big name to replace Benzema. maybe, Ronaldo can come back. but still, it won't be as good as it used to be.

Of course, some of the strongest teams such as Manchester City, Liverpool and PSG and Tottenham will provide a tougher resistance in the race for the Champions League Trophy. Real madrid as the defending champions, of course, is still highly favored to re-embrace the Champions League Trophy next season. But because several teams continue to improve in the transfer market this season and bring in some star players to strengthen the squad in the coming season. Tottenham as a newcomer this season, of course, they will try hard to fight strong teams in Europe.

Real Madrid really deserved the victory they got from the champion league final, because many people has already concluded that Liverpool will defeat Real Madrid to embrace the title but at the end of the match Real Madrid defeated Liverpool to embraced the title. Karim Benzema is among the best strikers in the whole world because he really demonstrated his professional in the champion league final by helping Real Madrid to achieved this season title. I think, if Real Madrid managements can be able to sign Mbape into Real Madrid, I believe Real Madrid will still perform better in next season because Mbape is a professional striker that know how to achieve early goals from any match.

Maintaining the consistency of winning the Champions League title is much more difficult than trying to win it in different seasons. I think Real Madrid did it for 3 seasons in a row with Zidane, but at that time Real Madrid really had great players and their success was very natural. So, do you believe Real Madrid can defend the title again next season while some of the players are much older than the previous season?

Let's see some other teams start to do something better next season including PSG, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Inter, Milan and also Bayern Munich. So don't just think that Real Madrid have a big chance to win it every season because other teams will be competitive too.

Cristiano Ronaldo has not missed Europe's elite competition (Champions League) since making his debut with Manchester United in 2003, next year will be the first time in the last 19 years of the Champions League without Cristiano Ronaldo. Regarding the rumors of Ronaldo return to Real Madrid it seems like a figment, Real Madrid doesn't look like they want to bring Ronaldo back to the Bernabeu, especially when Ronaldo is 37 years old. If he still survives at Manchester United, Ronaldo is like dropping degrees because he has to appear in the Europa League next season.

[Jody.Drummer]

Currently Mbappe can no longer be a hope for Madrid, and like it or not they have to be prepared to find a replacement. But it seems they are still chilling with this because if we look at it now they are clearly prioritizing defensive positions and midfield because after Rudiger now Tchouameni is the next signing.
As for the striker position, they seem to be still paying attention to young players because Darwin Nunez and Leao are still their hottest issues in the forward positions.

Tottenham as a newcomer this season, of course, they will try hard to fight strong teams in Europe.

It is still too early to make predictions for all teams in the next season, because Real Madrid as the defending champion will not necessarily be able to defend the title again next season if all of its opponents have made important improvements in all lines that are considered lacking this season. Although Real Madrid will also make improvements to their line-up for next season, teams like Manchester City, Liverpool and PSG will definitely make it difficult for Real Madrid to win trophies again next season.

I think Real Madrid is doing the right thing. If we see the previous performance of Real Madrid we will realize that they have scored a lot of goals but at the same time, they have also conceded a lot of goals which they should not have in my opinion. And that's why I think making the defense strong is going to be the main priority of Real Madrid right now. Which they are doing quite well and the midfield was also a little bit of an issue for Real Madrid and they are also fixing that. I think the attack of Real Madrid is alright and if Benzema can have another season like this Real Madrid will not have much to worry about on the attacking side.

If he still survives at Manchester United, Ronaldo is like dropping degrees because he has to appear in the Europa League next season.

Not missing UEFA Champion League almost 19 years, I think bad reputation for Cristiano Ronaldo keep stay with Manchester United next season because he loss opportunity keep extended career play on Champion League, actually after moving from Real Madrid to Juventus and Manchester United never have good result on Champion League, just stuck on 16 round with Juventus and Manchester United looks Cristiano Ronaldo career with Champion League have been over. I think although back to Real Madrid he can't get regular position there because his position as left side become regular place for Vinicius Jr and central forward on Real Madrid keep mine for Karim Benzema.
