Here are the winning chance of each team to become a champion in the next season:

60% for Real Madrid
39% for Manchester City
1% for Arsenal, Inter, Milan, Barcelona, PSG, Bayern Munich, Leverkusen etc.

Real Madrid without Mbappe can still become a champion in this season, so it's no doubt majority of people will believe in Real Madrid.

We came to the end of 2023/24 season successfully and as usual it was an interesting season with lots of memorable scenes. Congratulations to Real Madrid winning the title for the 15th time and Dortmund also performing well to reach the final after winning teams no one expected them to. That’s by the way now, with the latest and biggest transfer that recently happened i think Real Madrid are still the favorites to win the Champions League again after successfully adding Mbappe to their unstoppable squad they would be even more brutal. Only a few teams can challenge them, teams like Manchester City and probably Bayern Munich since they have a new manager now maybe they will be up to the task.

Curiosity, source of these statistics?
Are there already the bookmakers' data? or is it your data/guess/estimate?
At least to me, it seems a little premature toconsidering that we don't know what next year's official teams can be...
and these are data very unbalanced... 99% for just two teams is a bit exaggerated

[swogerino]

I think that Real Madrid with the signing of 5 years contract with Mbappe will greatly enhance their chances to win the Champions League not only for 2025 but for many years to come as they managed to beat Manchester City without Mbappe this season that just ended,I don't see any stronger team than them as of yet,every other team is easily beaten by such a great team like Real Madrid.For me Mbappe was the only missing part to the puzzle in making Real Madrid an almost impossible to beat team.

Thank you for the new thread @babo and, like @bitbollo, 99% for two team is so much in my opinion.

Come on @Helena_Yu, you can't do that to the other teams in terms of percentage of winning the champions league, at least not to Arsenal. We know how they have been fighting to get a trophy for the fans and coming to the Champions League since 10 years correct me if I'm wrong, we saw a different team that wants to make a difference, but the teams that deserves that 1% is PSG and Ac Milan, these guys don't have what it takes to win the CL but the others have hope of doing so.
We're always going to talk more about Madrid winning next CL but in as much as they have Mbappe nothing is for sure that they can lift the trophy after all we have seen them fallout in the quarter finals or round of 16 so another elimination can happen to Madrid next season because they're now the target, the other clubs are looking for a way to stop them.

Thank you for locking the last Champions league thread before opening this @OP.

They are surely just based on estimates because, although Real Madrid seem to have the greater chance again, 60% may either be an underestimation or an overestimation.

I think that Real Madrid with the signing of 5 years contract with Mbappe will greatly enhance their chances to win the Champions League not only for 2025 but for many years to come as they managed to beat Manchester City without Mbappe this season that just ended,I don't see any stronger team than them as of yet,every other team is easily beaten by such a great team like Real Madrid.

If Real Madrid were Lucky against Manchester City, the game would have gone in any direction, and if both teams meet again this new season, Real Madrid with Mbappe can still loose as long as Manchester City has Pep.

[FinePoine0]

Mbappe will perform even more strongly after joining Real Madrid, as a striker entering the team will surely strengthen the attacking department and the ones they can succeed in attacking. For a long time, the Real Madrid team performed very well in these seasons. However, if there is a competition, only Manchester City and Real Madrid will have a great competition between these two teams. The threat of unique team is very less as they have failed to perform well in these seasons despite having good performance and strong squad.

[bering]

Real Madrid with Mbappe obviously they are would be the first favourite for next season because after the arrival of this player it makes attacking lines for Real Madrid would be very dangerous because besides him they have Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius and probably Brahim Diaz and i have to says they are new generation of El Galacticos because the era of Ronaldo, Modrid and Toni Kroos has been ended and it's very interesting to see how much trophies would they gets from this competition with these players

Other contender Manchester City also would being an the favourite because their performance in Champion League is quite consistent even Manchester City can broke the domination of Real Madrid with gets the trophy from last season but there is some rumours regarding this team because it says Guardiola will thinking to leave this team on June 2025 and if this rumour is true then next season could be the last season Guardiola with Manchester City

Other contestants also quite interesting to discuss and Bayern Munich will have new manager Vincent Kompany and as a manager this is the first time for Kompany to playing at this competition and i am curious how far will he take Bayer Munich and do not forget too about other Bundesliga team Leverkusen because this season they are very fantastic with unbeated records but unfortunately they lost from Atalanta at the final match of Europa League and for next season i would like to see whether Xabi Alonso can able to bringing Leverkusen to performing well or not in this competition

it has almost gotten to the stage in the champions league where other teams would have to compete to get to the finals only to be kicked out by real Madrid. Without mbape in the squared we already had one of the strongest attack ever comprising of vini jnr, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo and now that we have mbape coming in to strengthen the position Bellingham was playing, it's going to be more deficult for another team to get the spot from real Madrid.

As for the percentage you allotted for the winning chance of each of these teams, I think you're underrating the threat man City would bring into there play in the next season. In terms of individual brilliance they are almost of similar class with real Madrid and have a higher chance of doing well come next season considering the fact that Kross is off the team and the midfield wouldn't be as strong as it was in the just concluded season. It's certainly going to be a remarkable journey and I'm hoping Leverkusen would bring a good fight and play there way into the top spot even though they are the underdog in this championship race.

The new thread for the 2024/25 season with its new format is a breath of fresh air going forward.

1% for Arsenal, Inter, Milan, Barcelona, PSG, Bayern Munich, Leverkusen etc.

You said realistic mate. We still think Real Madrid will still be champions especially with Mbappe's arrival who inherits the no 9 that Benzema used to wear, while Mbappe will be the spearhead.

Manchester City are still the strongest candidate under Real Madrid.
Other clubs, I can't predict yet. Hahaha

Your prediction was not going stright with the odds.



To be honest, it seemed absurd to see why Arsenal is still regarded as the one top candidate to win the UCL while it was always doing bottle job at the domestic league, beside of Manchester City and Real Madrid. Better still for Arsenal, attempt to win the EPL before the UCL caused by it's likely arsenal will become a clown club again next season.

Madrid and City should easily make it to the quarterfinals considering these clubs are still at their peak performances. Still, Manchester City is the most difficult opponent for Real Madrid this season considering i have not seen worthy opponent for madrid other than city next season. Having mbappe indicates how serious Real Madrid is about being ready to win its 16th championship the upcoming season as per what perez hinted on his last interview.

We have more places available for the next seasons. Anticipate a harder competition than in the previous season considering more participants and it's gonna be even more competitive than last season.

[criptoevangelista]

With the arrival of Mbappe, if he manages to be a more pleasant person with his teammates, there will certainly be a 95% chance of Real Madrid winning the title. I can't see any other team with a good chance... Maybe the remaining 5% will be divided between City, Barcelona or some other random team.

I think the above percentages are just your personal views and not the actual facts that the betting market may give for the Champions League trip next season, what you say will probably be accepted by those who are indeed Madrid fans but to say that 1% is the other teams chance to win the championship trophy of course only makes the fans of that club angry,to be honest, it seems that there is a good chance that Madrid will defend their champion status next season, but even though it is unfair for us to judge other teams not to be able to win the UCL , this season several teams have appeared surprising so it is not impossible for us to see if next season the competition will also be tighter because however a big overhaul will definitely be made by the clubs that qualify for the Champions League.

Next season the champions league uses a new format and there are 36 teams that will try to compete in winning the championship trophy, PSG is of course the most ambitious team to get the champions trophy next season, losing Mbappe is of course a loss for them, but I think PSG will of course try to recruit other players who can replace Mbappe in their front line so I think the 1% chance that is there gives of course unfair and also reasonable.

What do you think about it?

It could be a fun call for discussion. Lol
Honestly I don't think if it is necessary of us jumping to fans a team to another on seasonal occasions.

A die hard fan of a football team would always give his team the chances to do better if they have not been playing interestingly and not denouncing your team in just  a particular season because they did not do well to bring trophy.

This is a game of interest and of course game of fun. Infact, a total game of luck the the teams formations are highily formed so we never can tell if the new embracing team would bring you that trophy you dumped your formal team for.

So to me, I will always be with my team but though after much that the team organizers are not putting to their best then I may consider to leave so for now, I am not deviating from my team yet and not even next season.
I  definitely not a trophy tricks but teams performances.

The threat of unique team is very less as they have failed to perform well in these seasons despite having good performance and strong squad.

I hope mbappe doesn't let people down because his coming to Real Madrid is supposed to be a breakthrough for him because, with or without him, Real Madrid will succeed, Look at the achievements that Madrid was able to acquire this season but in La Liga and the Champions League, it is not as if they are news to the winning of those trophies so the whole thing is left for mbappe to perform well if not, it will be at a loss because Madrid is already a made club. Mbappe indeed has a good attacking format. he should not bring his proud self to Madrid and thinks Madrid cannot do without him. this season, Madrid, even with Mbappe remains untouchable, and if you are thinking about who am talking about, it is none other than Manchester  City.  If players like Mbappe come to Manchester City, they will end up being benched most of the time, meaning there are better players than him, and he has to understand how we play. Then he can be allowed to play. but since Madrid has signed him, good luck to him. because his joining might not make any difference.

First of all, nice thinking by locking the other thread and moving on with a new one for new season.    I wish to see it on all of other European league threads also. I don't want to make posts on the threads which have like thousands of pages. They are full of spam and your posts just vanish among them no matter how quality they are.

Come on, only 1% for others.    I think at least Bayern Munich deserve more than that. Even though they were having issues with Tuchel they still fought really good against Real Madrid. If Kompany turns out to be a good manager I expect them also to have a good chance.

But the number one contender is surely Real Madrid especially after Mbappe signing. Manchester City of course follow right after.

[Solokan]

Real Madrid for the 2023-2024 season is performing very well and of course in the coming season (2024-2025 season) it will of course be very difficult to predict who will be the winner of the Champions League for the 2024-2025 season. but of course I predict that Real Madrid will have great potential to win the title again in the coming season (2024-2025) because I see that Real Madrid's strength is very strong to date, but of course what makes me believe that Real Madrid has great potential to win is because Mbappe will strengthen Real Madrid and of course Real Madrid's strength will definitely be stronger because Mbappe is a strong player.

but of course I am sure that Manchester City, Leverkusen, Inter, PSG and other teams will definitely try their best to win the Champions League title and of course there are many strong team so the 2024-2025 season will definitely be exciting. However I am curious about the performance of Girona, which is the new team from Laliga that has entered the Champions League.

But I still think Ancelotti's troops will have the potential to remain a team that has great potential to win the title again in season 2024-2025.

I think that's an indisputable fact and you put these numbers right in terms of the overall difference in next season. Usually Manchester City is always at the top of the favorites to win and we won't see that again after Real Madrid got Mbappe. Even though in the end the bookies will still favor Manchester City as the favorite every season, this will not mean anything in front of the mentality of Real Madrid players.

I agree that without Mbappe, Real Madrid could win the Champions League this season and would only be fasting for the title for one year. I was wondering what would have happened if Real Madrid hadn't been knocked out by Manchester City last season, perhaps this season would have been a UCL hat trick for them after previously happening in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Well, there will be no end to talking about Real Madrid and this team is complete in all aspects.
