UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[jakdanyel]

I really wonder one thing especially from now on. Will Manchester City be able to start a serious of Champions League titles? Or can they start to win this title by short breaks? However I feel like it is too much to ask from Manchester City for now. Because nothing is clear about how they will perform even next season.

Manchester City are normally not a winner team in the Champions League. They wasted their chances on the road going to the championship countless times. I still remember how desperate they were against Chelsea in the 2020/2021 season finale. They have finally put an end to this and won a title here but it wasn't easy either.

On the other hand I don't expect Guardiola to make changes in his system. He will always continue to do what he has known the best so far. So it might still be a very difficult run for them next time depending on how the other title contenders will perform.

Manchester City got their first trophy this season, maybe they still have a chance to be the favorites team again in next season, if there are no changes in their squad. But I think they can certainly reach the top 8 or even semi-finals, but also to win again I think it's too early because there are many big clubs who have pocketed tickets for next season. We can't underestimate them either especially Inter, although they unlucky this season but they can reach to the finals, it's a sign of how strong they are this season and maybe next season they can showing more optimal.

Man City deserves to win their first UCL trophy, they are the strongest team in UCL the last season. They experienced no losses in UCL last season, they only got draws. For the next season, Man City will remain the favorite team because they are the defending champion. I'm sure there will be no significant change in Man City team, they have enough money to guarantee their players get enough salaries. However, other teams begin to strengthen their squads as well, Man City may have a big challenge for the next season. Man City must be careful to keep the quality of their squad because UCL can be more competitive in the next season.

Man City must be careful to keep the quality of their squad because UCL can be more competitive in the next season.

In this transfer market all teams will make significant changes in their squad to be stronger in the next season. Now speaking of the strongest candidate, of course Manchester City is still at the forefront of winning the title. However, in the next season, several new teams or those who have been absent for a long time will return to decorate the ucl competition next season, such as Manchester United, Newcastle United or Lazio. I think this team team will change their squad in this season's transfer window where newcastle united is reported to be launching a lot of budget for Howe in recruiting many players in this season's transfer window.  Barcelona also cannot be underestimated, it is certain that they will be able to provide strong resistance in the ucl next season.

[Ndabagi01]

We can't say much at this point but I'm pretty sure that City won't win it again. They need 1 bad game in knockout stage and they will be out. Going 2years without bad game it's really hard and City does not have legacy of Real M to do that.

That being said, I agree with your point, but we can't completely exclude the possibility that they can perform as well as or better than Real Madrid in the Champions League. We won't be able to make a decision until next season's Champions League begins and we watch how each team performs in both their domestic league and the Champions League group stage matches. We can at that point make conclusions or guess on how the champions league will play out in the end.

As you can see that la liga has been sending 5 teams to the UCL. We are having some new names that was rarely playing in UCL like newcastle united.

Arsenal will be also coming to the UCL after it has become trophyless this season.

Im not yet including some teams that may be able to enter into the UCL through play off.

[Chikito]

The Champions League is a very prestigious competition in Europe, several big clubs compete to get the title, besides that, one of the motivated for champions is the prize, so, has anyone know how much money the club gets in the preliminary round, a round of 16 finals, quarterfinals, and semifinals?.

We can't say much at this point but I'm pretty sure that City won't win it again. They need 1 bad game in knockout stage and they will be out. Going 2years without bad game it's really hard and City does not have legacy of Real M to do that.

The English club rarely got the champion in a row except in 1976-1982 years. besides instability, the English club like City are still exploring between players. So, I think this year, the champions are back again to La Liga club, Barcelona or Madrid.

I feel like we need another format change in champions league. I know its not possible this season as process is already underway but for next season (s). 4 teams in a group procedure is like the most simple procedure. But its always like 2 strong teams vs 1 weak to mediocre team vs 1 weak team. So group stages are generally boring for bigger teams. Most of them play with second squads at last match of group or last 2. I still think that group stage should be with 3 teams at max to increase competition here. On the other hand I think it's early and its gonna be again between premier league vs la liga vs bayern vs psg vs some italian teams. like always hahah.

Format group depend on the previous participants and how far their stage qualifier in Champion League season 2022/23, I can give example with Barcelona failure last  Champion League participants after eliminating in group stage and for next season actually Barcelona will face with bigger team in group stage. But I don't see the format Champion League 2023/24 season is the same or not, how ever still left many teams in playoff qualifier round before drawing in group stage.

Seems potential with Italy, Spain and  Bundesliga teams will in the same group actually for Barcelona, but lest waiting with Champion League drawing pot and how Barcelona in easy pot group or not.

The current conditions still need to be seen through some progress because indeed even we still cannot determine how the pot will go in the group phase and how the big clubs will change some of their players this time considering that the club candidates are also a bit diverse now.
We just need to wait for the continuation of this matter, while the champion is still too far to be discussed because we still need to wait for every line-up at certain clubs.
but for the candidate I don't think it will be too much different from before because it's like a certainty.

There are some pretty interesting names now such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle for the EPL, Sociedad for La Liga, Lens for Ligue 1 and Lazio in Serie A.
These are new names though in this case we know their capabilities but for the Champions League they are new contestants for the group stage now.
It's interesting actually with the current conditions for the Champions League because indeed with their current conditions and positive trends, there are still great expectations for them at this time. it's just that when talking about winning candidates, I think the probability is still the same as in previous seasons.

I also think it's a bit too early to start talking about it, also because the transfer market has to take place and some nations could place additional teams on the list.
For sure the winner take always the spot for the next year... let's see how it proceed but anyway it's always "a long battle" up to the finale...

yes, perhaps I opened it well in advance, I admit it
but this year it was a very fun Champions League
as was the championship, so many twists and turns and not the usual stuff that the same obvious teams win

really this season has been very exciting, I have seen new faces winning and this is the top

Why is OP in a rush when we still have the fresh memory of this season finals and we are still discussing on it. Moreover,there is already a thread on UCL which we have been discussing on that the OP,do edit whenever a new season starts. Personally,I don't have anything to say because I can't look into the future,transfers hasn't be made and we don't know how strong this clubs will be. It is when next season starts that one can have a proper insight of the league. Man city won't be able to win back to back,let's no deceive ourselves.

Why do you think that Manchester City cannot win the Champions League back to back, it could be you that is deceiving yourself here. Just look at last season and season ago Manchester city is the Champions league team of the year for upto 3 consecutive times if I am not mistakakikg. This shows how good the Guardiola team has turned out to be. They dominated the CL team of the year and not many of them will leave the club this season. So it is expected that Manchester City will get to the finals and win the Champions League consecutive.

No problem man and I think there's nothing wrong with making a champions league thread for next season from now on because participants from various leagues also have new faces coming to enliven this competition. Talking about the champions league will always be fun because we know that now is the time to change the era to other young players after veterans have started leaving Europe or even retiring, so I think we will also see new young talents or football stars who Shining even more through the Champions League. Apart from all that, becoming a player who can win the champion league title is the dream of all players throughout Europe.

I join my voice with those saying it's too early to also say that it's rather too early to start discussing about the eufa champions league for the 2023/2024 season, there are no information of any kind about the game formation available yet, and neither is there any Information on when exactly the tournament will begin, so what exactly are we to be discussing about?

In the end, peeps are still going to continue discussing the happenings In the just concluded season, rather than topics relating to the coming season..

Even though the season is just about to end, i think everyone is already anticipating the 2023/2024 champions league. The way some clubs were playing at the end of this season scared everyone and made them wonder what will happen next in the upcoming campaign. Manchester City actually surprised everyone by winning three titles in a row, so let's see what the other teams can do in the season to come. Let's all wish for a better season next year as everything is just excitement. i don't even enjoy this season again since am also excited for the next season.

There is no way this thread wouldn't end up as spam. Many people don't give into the Champions League if the group stage hasn't been drawn for qualifying teams, this thread will just be a regular chunk of posts where users who don't have any clue about playoffs or anything prior to the group stage, and in addition, people will continue with the previous discussion of the Champions League, when there is nothing to say here again.

My opinion goes with what so many people have suggested, the thread should be locked, there are so many transfers going on right now, and those who feel they don't have things to do may consider those threads or look out for other threads that discuss other sports like Basketball, racing, and UFC.

If there is no change in the team then we can expect the current team of Manchester City in the next season as well. But Manchester City must maintain their consistency.
Real Madrid are one of the favorites in the Champions League but they have already made a number of changes to their squad and have a few more targets this transfer season. If Real Madrid is able to assemble the team properly and Manchester City is able to maintain their consistency, then Real Madrid and Manchester City will be the two most favorite teams in the Champions League in the 23-24 season.

[Queentoshi]

Man city won't be able to win back to back,let's no deceive ourselves.

You are the only one deceiving yourself with the believe that they will not be able to win it again. This season before they succeeded in winning the treble, there was also a lot of doubts about if the club will be able to go all through and when everything but they did. Next season it would not matter what we think or if you believe that they will not be able to defend the title again. Manchester City will come all out again to try to win the premiership, the Champions League and any other competition that they find themselves in. As far as Pep Guardiola is still the coach, the team standard will not drop.

[zaim7413]

The Champions League is one of the most elite competitions on European soil, Manchester City have just won the trophy for the first time in their history. Next season it is still unknown what surprises will happen next, whether Manchester City will successfully defend the title or PSG will follow in the footsteps of Manchester City. One of the surprises that will be present in the Champions League will come from Newcastle, the club owner will not remain silent after his team has qualified for the UCL. The power of money that Newcastle has can bring in quality players to boost the quality of the team.

Real Madrid as the team that has collected the most UCL trophies will do anything to make up for its failure after being humiliated by Manchester City at the Etihad stadium. Perez, who is known to be ambitious, will bring in quality players to win the most prestigious trophy in European competition. Mbappe is still his prey until now, it is very realistic if he really wants Mbappe because Real Madrid just lost Benzema who moved to the Arab League.

Of course the best expectations on Man City as champions will be great. I think if they haven't lost a lot of players this season and they're going to get new additions, it's certainly a great chance of Pep holding the UCL cup at the Etihad.
But it is very difficult to guess next season, because there will still be many transfer markets that will happen. I think every team will look for the best players to add strength in the transfer season in order to get the best achievements. I think rich clubs like Madrid who were not active in the transfer market last season will take advantage of the transfer season that starts June 14.
