UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Palakka]

Real Madrid’s weakest point this season was that they did not have a striker. However, they have now signed an agreement with French football player Kylian Mbappe. With this move, Real Madrid becomes the biggest contender for the Champions League trophy next season. We can once again refer to them as "los galacticos."

After losing Ronaldo and Benzema, of course, Madrid lost a reliable central striker, although now they have Bellingham and Vinicius as the top scorers, but we know that they are not pure strikers so far, so in the absence of a pure striker, Ancelotti has to improvise with wingers and attacking midfielders to be able to score goals and of course what Ancelotti is doing at this time is quite successful In overcoming every opponent they have in the league and Champions League, Mbappe arrival to the squad has certainly filled the void left by Benzema and Ancelotti, so indeed next season we will see a Madrid squad that is quite dangerous, especially their attacking line.

This season Real Madrid managed to get their 15th Champions League trophy and it shows us that there is no better team than Madrid when they reach the Champions League final, next season Champions League will use a new format in their game system but I think that of course it will not be difficult for Madrid to be able to be a title contender again.  
Actually, this season I really want to see Madrid beaten by Dortmund in the final because it will be a surprise for us, but in fact Madrid is still able to beat Dortmund in the final.

Ancelotti has proven to us that Real Madrid can win prestigious titles even without center forwards as productive as Ronaldo and Benzema. Joselu can certainly help support the attack power as an experienced center forward, but Ancelotti has a good strategic approach even without a center forward.

Mbappe's arrival as a center forward certainly provides Ancelotti with better options in managing his playing strategy. Kylian Mbappe is a productive center forward who can be relied on, so of course a change in strategy can be expected next season. As a result, it may have an impact on Jude Bellingham's goal productivity, his role will be exactly the same as that of Toni Kroos or Modric next season.

The Mbappe fever, this move is  what has given the much hype for a high high chances of expectations on rela madrid repeatedly winning the champions league trophy next season. I hope a lot of us don't get disappointed because for me this move doesn't change much of a thing in the madrid squad, and here's why.

Madrid is a club that every football player wanna association himself with in their career, they have made a standard for themself with any kind of European trophy you can think of in their massive numbers, and currently there are great super stars like Vini Jnr, Rodrygo, Carvajal, Valverde, Camavingha, J. Bellingham, etc,  already in the club making waves in all competitors, so Mbappe coming in is just an inclusion of these beasts which I think he is not coming in as a messiah to the team but as a part to a whole.

It's important I remind us all that there was a time of the gallaticus  but not much of a European title was attached to the squad, and just maybe, let it not be that Mbappe is arriving at a time when there could be a little pause in the streaks of champion's league trophy wins for real madrid.

I do not think that Real would have that kind of pause this time around. Don't get me wrong, I remember that prime Ronaldo times (both Ronaldos) and there were times when they didn't do as well as they hoped. But looking at how they have been recently, and looking at how they have grown, I can say that it is not going to be all that hard for them to win it again and again. I am not saying that they "will", just saying it's quite possible.

Looking at the teams in the world right, I would say they have the biggest chance to win it compared to any other team which is why I would bet for them. It is not out yet, but when it's out, I am going to play to them on outrights to win the UCL at the start of the season, it is not guaranteed, but it's likely.

[KTChampions]

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.

Arsenal are not among the favorites at all, is 10% a lot? The fact that they cannot win anything does not negate the fact that they are progressing from year to year and if you take away the cheating City, then we can say that Arsenal dominated the Premier League.
As for the fact that there are few serious rivals for Real, yes, this is true, but this is only on paper, in fact we have seen that in order to beat even Leipzig you need to strain. In the playoffs, the cost of each game is very high.

[_BlackStar]

Many teams will be fighting for the title next season - don't forget, Liverpool will also be on the list of teams that will give their best in this competition. I know and also admit that - Klopp is a great coach who will no longer work for Liverpool next season, but considering that Liverpool still has players of the best quality then I think everything can still be hoped for.

Really - I don't expect we'll only be talking about one team until the end of the season. Of course Real Madrid are the most phenomenal team in Champion League history - but that doesn't have to close all the room for other teams who also want to win the title. Teams from the Premier League could be the most dominant next season in the Champion League - I hope so when they send Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa to the Champions League group stage.

Mbappe and Real Madrid will clearly catapult them to the top of the list of candidates. This is not excessive because in fact Real Madrid was able to get the trophy before Mbappe arrived, so it really makes sense that many people assume that Mbappe will make Real Madrid even stronger next season. Real Madrid won the Champions League 3 times in a row from the 2015/16 season to the 2017/18 season and it is not an exaggeration if next season they are considered to have the opportunity to win trophies in a row with the resources they currently have.

[Ojima-ojo]

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.

Let not be too quick to speculate with high hopes because football have a way of surprising everybody and Real Madrid chance of winning the championship in the season may be affected by a number of factors that we can clearly see right now, but then Manchester city will definitely not allow that to happen so easy like that and we shouldn't underate the possibility of Asernal lifting the trophy.


I am sure that Real Madrid will fine it difficult to win championship not because Mbappe is not in Real Madrid but due to the low motivation in the current season even though their won the league, although their still have some good players that will want to do everything possible to repeat the record, but then just like how their defeated Manchester city who were the previous title holder in the season same faith will definitely play against Real Madrid in the season.

[QueenVera]

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.

When your club best player for about 3-5 season leaves the club it is always very difficult to be able to replace him because he’s an all round exceptional player and there are no much players like that. This is the case of PSG and replacing Kylian who’s helped to win them the title for the past 3 years. His presence alone gets other opposition team scared, talk more of his performance when the game begins.

 Some names have been mentioned and I think they are mot bad especially the youngsters from Serie A. The players will just need to quickly blend to the French style of football and Enrique’s pattern and step by step try to improve themselves rather than letting the pressure of being like Kylian be on them. The coach will have more of the work to do because most of the time he must try to help the new player mental strength to avoid him being weighed down by the thought of replacing Kylian.

 Another thing is he ought to try and make sure the player blends fast so as to be able to get the best performance from the player. The club will need to give him benefit of doubt and let him sign who he feels will be essential and be able to help the club out of the situation and I trust him to be ae to get the best off this team. If he can successfully come out of this stage then they can sure be ready to challenge for the UCL in subsequent season.

I was also considering opening a new thread for each of the new seasons but don't you think it is too early to open a thread about the champions league?

Anyway the upcoming champions league season of 2024/2025 will be a pretty good season with lots of expectations from each of the qualified teams. Real Madrid have become so formidable that we all can easily predict them but let's not forget that there are still other good teams that can still compete with Real Madrid even though they got more stronger squad now that Kylian Mbappe will be featuring for Real Madrid. It will be a much anticipated champions league season but until the season begins we can't really predict the strength of each teams now.

With the new format available, the 2024/2025 season will be even more challenging. Those of us who are fans of the European Champions League certainly understand the new format regarding what is new and what is still the same as the previous format.

If in the 2023/24 season Real Madrid is the winner, in the 2024/25 season it is not certain that Real Madrid will have a large percentage as a team that has the opportunity to win the title.
Apart from Real Madrid and Manchester City, 34 other teams are ready to do their best. Of course not all, but several teams from well-known leagues will be the teams that will thwart the dominance of Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Mbappe's effect will not necessarily ensure that Madrid has a great chance even this season of winning its 15th title without Mbappe.

[Lidger]

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.

The Champions League season is over and Real Madrid is celebrating the title after finishing the season. Real Madrid became the champions this season and secured their 15th title by becoming champions while Dortmund finished as runners-up this season. A new season will start in a few days and based on how each team is buying new players and building their squads, it can be said which team is the favorite for next season's Champions League tournament. However, Real Madrid and Manchester City will always be among the favorite teams in the Champions League tournament.

I know that those two clubs are the favorite next season but it doesn't mean that they will be the winner next season. I cannot give my prediction now because the league have not started, and I have not seen the performance of the players in various clubs. It is until when next season starts that I can give a good speculation on this.

I don't want to start using this season to judge next season, because we saw a lot of surprises from small clubs this season and next season might be the same. There might be some unforeseen challe he's might might be a hinderanceto these big clubs next season, but let's watch and see what happens during the window transfer and the beginning of next season.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Yeah it is better to mention the new format as of 2024 season also.  

• There is no more group stage, it is going to be rather a league just as in its name.  
• There are going to be 36 teams instead of 32.
• Every team are going to play against 8 different teams, half of them home games and the rest is away.
• Top 8 finishers are qualifying for last 16 directly. The teams placed from 9th to 24th are playing a two-legged playoffs to earn their way through last 16. The remaining teams in the league are eliminated.
• There is no more dropping to the Europa League as of now.

The new format looks interesting but it is likely to be fun for now I think. But will this matter for Real Madrid after signing Mbappe? I don't think so.  

[ndutndut]

I myself want to put Real Madrid in first place as a candidate to win the UCL next season and Man City in second place. Because Real Madrid's next season will be very scary, starting from the scary attacking trio that Real Madrid currently has means the attacking trio (Vini, Mbappe, Rodrygo) volume 2 will start soon, the scary midfield trio volume 2 is also underway between Belingham - Valverde and Camavingga. behind there is Rudiger who looks like Ramos from Real Madrid, Real Madrid just needs to look for a player like Pepe to accompany Rudiger, and look for a replacement for Dani Carvajar. If this happens, it is not impossible that Real Madrid will score a hat trick of the UCL volume 2 trophy.

The point is that next season Real Madrid will be inhabited by attackers with above average speed, Real Madrid's central midfielders are also good so they play an important role in pampering the attackers with their best passes. Real Madrid's front three are more or less similar to the BBC trio, and what kind of strategy will be decided by coach Don Carlo. In my opinion, Real Madrid must be the main target to be defeated early by other teams, because if they want to win the UCL, other teams must eliminate Real Madrid first, before Real Madrid enters the final.

One thing about Real Madrid I like so much is their ability to fill in those left space of their great players with direct equivalent and that's something they have been doing for so long and it has been favouring them, they had great players who left and this has never really affected them because they always find their replacement and that's one of the great feature of this Madrid team. Now mbappe has been recruited he will definitely add more value to the team and make this work out well for them.

Because after all, it seems like there is still no team that is truly capable of becoming a strong competitor to Real Madrid in all leagues. Even though of course it won't be easy to get a trophy, but considering the quality that Real Madird has, of course it will make it difficult for other teams to get Real Madrid eliminated from the Champions League.

Everything is focused on Real Madrid after bringing Mbappe, I actually agree with that statement because Real Madrid's squad is unquestionable but the chances of other teams beating Real Madrid are still there, there is always a gap where they can beat it, don't underestimate other clubs.

I feel that clubs from the Premier League have a lot of experience, especially Manchester City, whose squad is still OK, but they will not be discouraged even though Madrid now has Mbappe, club coaches always have their own strategies to win their clubs.

Well no one can deny the fact that Real Madrid are probably the strongest team currently now in the world but  when it comes the competition that hasn't already started saying Real Madrid would claim the champions league for me is going to hard despite the fact that they have all the likes of mbappe and the reason why I say this is because all other teams will be out for them to make sure that they don't win the trophy again.

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.

Your odds are too biased and want Real Madrid to win it all once again. There’s no doubt that as the defending champions and how their squad is been strengthened for the next season, you’ll know that they are still the favourites to win the game. Manchester City as always been the one that can stop them, but with what we are foreseeing in those squads when compared for the next season, Manchester City won’t have much chance to win and overtake the triumph of Real Madrid next season. With Pep Guardiola everything is possible but I want to see some actions in them when the new season begins, before I will be compelled that they will do well next season and stand a chance for the champions league trophy against Real Madrid.

Giving a team like Leverkusen, Munich, Inter, and Arsenal just one percent chance of winning the champion league looks unfair to me. These teams should at least have 10% while the percentage of Real Madrid and Manchester City should be slightly reduced. Barca, AC Milan, and Bayern Munich will be coming next season with new coaches, so we should expect a better performance from them.

So we should now speculate that with the arrival of Mbappe, Real is now unstoppable. With the kind of strikers the club can boast of currently, I am sure that any defense will be scared of Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti will have to focus more on building the midfield and the defense. Football is unpredictable and the UCL is the game of champions, so no club should be underrated.
