UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Google+]

Klopp leaving is a really nasty BUMMER. He was a tactical master, extracting from those Liverpool lads every bit of ability. Indeed, no storybook ending with medals; yet, for you, it is the beautiful game. Now, this Arne Slot buddy intervening? It is a whole different game.Champions League is not a joke, hence Slot requires time to shape that team into his vision. Everyone will be breathing down his neck, evaluating him against Klopp, but perhaps the man has some secret plans

Klopp has shown his capacity as a great coach since he took over, previously Liverpool had slumped in the league and Champions League but after Klopp arrival, slowly Liverpool rose and could end their negative trend after 30 years, Klopp ability to set strategies and also his ability to harness the potential of each player certainly makes him different from other coaches today, Many coaches are confused and make club often experience a decline in performance if some of their players are injured, but not with Klopp who is actually able to maximize other players to be able to play in other positions to cover injured players positions.

Currently arne slot has officially coached liverpool next season, although indeed arne slot does not have much experience in the Champions league so far, of course we can't underestimate him later, arne slot only has to optimize the performance of every liverpool player so that it will make it easier for him to bring liverpool far in the Champions League next season,   Liverpool fans must still have a positive mind on their current coach because indeed Liverpool recruited Arne Slot, of course, with consideration and also in-depth references so far.

[Sakanwa]

I can't fully take Liverpool as a threat in the Champions league, going too far to postulating them to winning the Champions league title even with Klopp as their manager or Arne Slot whom we are yet to guarantee his success in managing the club. Liverpool as one of the big teams this season to qualify for the Champions league may be able to defend their privileged by getting to quarter finals then the rest may become a mystery whether they succeed from there or not.

Of course, we should also know that champions League is totally different from premier League and we know that premier League is more easier so there are clubs that could be doing very well there but cannot survive if they qualified for the champions league, I no Liverpool is a very strong club but there strength is not enough to even get to the champions League finals, imagine how good Liverpool performance is on the previous season but could not even win the Europa League they had an upper chance of winning, so actually for now I don't think they stand a chance for the champions league unless they proof otherwise on there performance this season, however for now the only club on the premier League I have more confident on is actually Manchester City because they are always a threat on the champions league every season.

ofcourse it is true that the champions league is more complicated because as the name implies,it is champions from the different league that are in that league.The competition is between teams that won their league or finished 1st to fifth in their different league that play champions league,so it must be tough to play there.
Aston Villa were able to qualify for next season,alongside Arsenal, Liverpool and City who were champions of the league.Aston Villa will test themselves against the champions next season.

The Liverpool we know today is nothing compared to the glory they use to have. Come to talk of their performance this past season, it was one of worst they've done towards the end of the season, and that fully explains that they might not be in good shape to compete with high probability of winning the Champions league, and it quite unfortunate that the had all their players in good shape but yet their performance wasn't good. However if Manchester City keeps up their good form to next season, they are likely to win the league but it seems their favourite opponents Real Madrid  is cooking and ready for next season.

Obviously their coach has been a big part of their success story all this years and his absence is definitely going to mean a whole lot to the team because they are definitely going to be a weak on some sides, his tactics has always been one that's unmatching as he's always have a better way to approach other teams and always know the best tactics to use to get the best results they can get against any team they meat and minimize their losses.

This season we did expected he was going to have a very fantastic exit by virtue of the the fact that he will be able win a trophy on his exit which would have been a very remarkable one, he was even making a good attempt in that regards in the way they performed this season at some point and I personally was expecting they will even win two trophies, probably the Europa and the premier league trophies.

Liverpool will miss Klopp based on the great work he did in Liverpool and how he transformed the club to be stronger and competitive in EPL. His departure might have a little problem in the club's performance and the players too. But I believe that changes is what we cannot stop from happening, and that is the reason a new coch will continue from where Klopp stopped.

Slot will try his best to see how he can balance the club performance to that of Klopp so that the fams will have confidence in him, because a lot will be expected from him. Sometimes, it is always difficult for a new coach to adapt with his new team but if he is a flexible coach, that will not be a problem for Slot.

Liverpool not winning either of the two trophies(Europa League or Premier League) last season was surprising to many because the majority of football fans were anticipating a trophy win for Liverpool towards Klopp, to honor him for all his wonderful years as Liverpool coach.
For the results and predictions to turn otherwise, to see the Liverpool team going trophyless to even lose to Atalanta for the Europa League finals was unimaginable because I thought they would for sure reach the finals and lift it since they have allowed Manchester City and Arsenal to top them on the Premier League table. Let them take the Europa League trophy to consolidate themselves rather than having no trophy at the end of the season. That was my imagination

The beautiful farewell that Liverpool fans hoped for did not happen, Liverpool were surprisingly eliminated from the European League, and after that they experienced a setback in the Premier League towards the end of the season. Expectations for Liverpool are actually quite high this season, many people predict they will continue to pressure Manchester City until the end of the season. However, the fact is that only Arsenal can do it, I don't think Arne Slot will be able to achieve great success in his first season. The legacy left by Jurgen Klopp will be very difficult for the managers who come after him to surpass it, it will take a long time to surpass it. Liverpool squad is still very ideal, but Arne Slot still needs time to adapt to the intense competition in the Premier League. However, if Salah leaves, it will be a major blow for Liverpool, they will find it difficult to win without the Egyptian player.

ofcourse it is true that the champions league is more complicated because as the name implies,it is champions from the different league that are in that league.The competition is between teams that won their league or finished 1st to fifth in their different league that play champions league,so it must be tough to play there.
Aston Villa were able to qualify for next season,alongside Arsenal, Liverpool and City who were champions of the league.Aston Villa will test themselves against the champions next season.

Next season the champions league competition will undergo a significant change in the competition format, so I hope the change in format will make the champions league competition even better and of course provide a tighter competition for us to watch, the champions league is of course the most prestigious competition in the european continent so far and even the club will have great prestige if they manage to get the trophy, So it is not surprising that all club clubs in Europe really want to play in the league that has the highest level in Europe, every season the competition in the Champions League is very fierce because it is only filled by the best club clubs from various leagues in Europe.

Next season there are several surprise teams that will try to compete to be able to perform well in the Champions League, Leverkusen, Aston Villa, Bologna, Girona and Atlanta will of course add colour to the competition in the Champions League next season is increasingly colorful because of the presence of a team team that we can indeed say as a newcomer, betwen in the teams, Aston Villa will of course be the center of our attention later,  Because they can be said to be the most surprising team this season to qualify for the Champions League after competing with the big teams of the Premier League.

[Velvet78]

I'd rather Bayern Leverkusen on my list than Bayern Munich.

Leverkusen are on a great run with Xabi Alonso. They can't be underestimated in the Champions League at all. However there is still a huge experience and success gap between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.  

Bayern Munich have a great history with 6 titles here. Leverkusen have only 1 runner-up season and that's all. They have a great momentum recently but experience plays a really important role in the Champions League. I don't think Leverkusen will do better than them honestly but it is just my opinion.  

Also, another team I'd rather is Barcelona. Most importantly, it'll take some time and patience but they'll definitely be one of the best clubs in La Liga Competition again and this I'm certain.
Hansi Flick is a top quality coach at a top level, what's remaining for him would be qualified and quality players who can play the La Ma Sia system.

Barcelona will need time and new transfers to bring back their strong days. Hansi Flick is a great manager choice but the squad should be more competitive while Real Madrid is signing Mbappe.

Next season there are several surprise teams that will try to compete to be able to perform well in the Champions League, Leverkusen, Aston Villa, Bologna, Girona and Atlanta will of course add colour to the competition in the Champions League next season is increasingly colorful because of the presence of a team team that we can indeed say as a newcomer, betwen in the teams, Aston Villa will of course be the center of our attention later,  Because they can be said to be the most surprising team this season to qualify for the Champions League after competing with the big teams of the Premier League.

Aston Villa has Unay Emery and we all know he is experience manager for European Competitions and i am sure he can able to bringing Aston Villa to performing well so although Aston Villa status in Champion League is only mediocre team but i am sure they can make big teams gets in trouble but for new comer i personally more interested want to see the performance of Girona in this competition because in Laliga they have done well and recently Girona manager Michel Sanchez has been announce as the best manager in Laliga for season 2023/2024 and their striker Artem Dovbyk also recognized as Laliga top scorer so i am curious whether they can play well in this competition or not because in Laliga Girona under Michel Sanchez has displayed attacking style and very entertaining besides them Bologna also very interesting because similar to Girona this is their first experience to playing at Champion League but unfortunately they have to changing manager because Thiago Motta has decided to moved to Juventus

[knowngunman]

Competing in the Champions League is certainly very difficult because several other teams are quite strong, such as Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester City. So, of the Premier League teams, only Manchester City is able to show their best quality in the Champions League. So, next season will the team from the Premier League follow in Manchester City's footsteps and reach the semifinals next season?

It's quite surprising how English premier league teams end up disappointing us when it comes to competing in the champions league year in year out for several seasons now. The premier league has proven itself to be the most outstanding league among the top leagues in Europe. Couches, players and fans from various leagues talk about how competitive and difficult the Premier league is but they usually failed to prove their worth in the champions league. Apart from Manchester city who's been proven otherwise in the competition, the rest of the teams play like an underdog when they meet teams outside premier league. It's a new season and every team is on the run to improve their performance, let see how their performance will be this coming season.

Leverkusen are on a great run with Xabi Alonso. They can't be underestimated in the Champions League at all. However there is still a huge experience and success gap between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. 

Bayern Munich have a great history with 6 titles here. Leverkusen have only 1 runner-up season and that's all. They have a great momentum recently but experience plays a really important role in the Champions League. I don't think Leverkusen will do better than them honestly but it is just my opinion. 

This can not be denied! Experience plays a greater role as far as champions league is concern, it's what Madrid has been banking upon all this while. I know the quality of team squad and their performance also matters but UCL is not just like domestic league where you meet with your opponents on weekly basis. Participating in the league for several years and winning on several occasions has given Madrid require experience in the champions league which put them ahead of other teams. Leverkusen is presently on a good run but they actually don't have experience compared to their counterpart Munich when it comes to UCL competition.

[Blitzboy]

Liverpool team is currently performing very well, will perform even better this season as the new coach will definitely try to show better experience than the previous coach. However, the players in the Liverpool team are very good and experienced, where Mohamed Salah is located, they are likely to perform much better. Because he has good control over every player in the attacking department, and more support from the coach has made the team stronger.

The new coach my want to prove that he's a good coach and deserving of the job given him and for that reason would want to impress the management and the fans so he will try to do his very best as a coach, he's got good quality players still in the team so of he's able to build on klops legacies and also have a good tactics in place, Liverpool may not suffer next season they will be able to maintain their form and possibly dare to win the champions league or the premier league.

It will take the new coach beyond a season to prove he was better than klop, the achievements of klop in Liverpool is just so much that he can't just beat the recordd in a season and expect to be seen as been better than klop was all the years he was at Liverpool and even gave the team a very good face lift across Europe,in subsequent seasons if he's able to consistently get the team to good points beyond that point which they have been, we could say that chances are that he would want to supercede klops records.

People, Anfield is buzzing right now. It is electrified. Everybody is fired about this new coach; who wouldnt be? You've got Salah, a world-class talent, leading the attack. You already have a good team. Theres the foundation. But Klopp left some large shoes to occupy. Each of us loved Klopp, right? The man is a legends. This new coach, we gotta give him time. See how the team does. Allow us to see how they fit. If they regularly win, control those European heavyweights, well then we can begin to discuss surpassing expectations. This will be an excellent season.

For the first time in since the UEFA Champions League competition was rebranded in 1992, Aston Villa will play in club football's most prestigious competition and the manager that'll lead them in the competition is no other than the very experienced Unai Emery. The former Sevilla boss is the most successful manager in the history of the UEFA Europa League competition but when it comes to the Champions League, he's yet to record any success. The quality of players at Aston Villa is strong enough to have a good campaign in the competition but I don't think they're strong enough to get past the quarter final stage.
The other clubs that aren't regular in the competition such a Girona, Bologna and Bayer Leverkusen I think also stands a good chance of making it outside the group stage of the competition

Leverkusen is presently on a good run but they actually don't have experience compared to their counterpart Munich when it comes to UCL competition.

Bayer Leverkusen had quite an impressive performance last season and it seems with what they have got, it's quite reasonable that they have pretty high expectations next season. I think if the team stays together like their squad last season or even signs new players that they really need, then Leverkusen will be a team to be considered in the Champions League. Especially if Xabi Alonso and his players know what caused them to fail in the Europa League final, then Bayer Leverkusen will have a chance in the hunt for the Champions League trophy.

[hahay]

I'd rather Bayern Leverkusen on my list than Bayern Munich.

Barcelona will need time and new transfers to bring back their strong days. Hansi Flick is a great manager choice but the squad should be more competitive while Real Madrid is signing Mbappe.  

Regarding Bayer Leverkusen, of course they still have a good chance next season in the Champions League to get good results. At least, qualifying for the last 16 or reaching the quarter-finals would certainly be a good result for Bayer Leverkusen. But indeed, at least because Xabi Alonso still has great abilities, maybe the result could be more likely to qualify for the semifinals, who knows. But regarding Barcelona, ​​basically Barcelona has no problems with their squad and performance.

Because after all, Barcelona's only problem is their poor finances. Of course, because Barcelona's poor finances are difficult to overcome from season to season, Barcelona will continue to have difficulty improving the quality of their team from season to season too. Even though Barcelona succeeded in appointing Hansi Flick as their new manager next season but still, because of Barcelona's poor finances, it will certainly be difficult for Hansi Flick to improve Barcelona's performance.

Klopp leaving is a really nasty BUMMER. He was a tactical master, extracting from those Liverpool lads every bit of ability. Indeed, no storybook ending with medals; yet, for you, it is the beautiful game. Now, this Arne Slot buddy intervening? It is a whole different game.Champions League is not a joke, hence Slot requires time to shape that team into his vision. Everyone will be breathing down his neck, evaluating him against Klopp, but perhaps the man has some secret plans

We don't know the real reason behind Klopp's decision to leave Anfield, there are many factors and the statement he said to step down from the Liverpool coaching chair implies a big question. He said that he felt like he was running out of energy managing the team. we can interpret it, according to our thoughts. and now Liverpool have appointed Arne Slot, due to the empty training seat for the Red squad. Arne Slot is believed to be in charge of Liverpool this summer, and he deserves to be given the opportunity.

Well, that's why it's also as you said. Of course, Arne Slot needs time to form an ideal team, especially as several core players are rumored to be leaving. in other words, he will form a new team according to the club's vision and mission. in particular, Arne Slot's involvement in the selection of newcomers to his squad. So it's natural that most people doubted him in his first season, after all Arne Slot hasn't proven anything so we let him work. Nevertheless, it seems that the Dutch coach is confident enough in himself to accept the challenge of leading Liverpool. He also had good statistics when he coached the previous team, so Liverpool brought him to Anfield. Whether he is successful or not in his first season, we will find out all that later. What is certain is that as a coach he must prepare his team as thoroughly as possible to face various competitions in the new season.

[JeffBrad12]

We don't know anything about how good Kompany would be while managing a big team. But if he turns out to be a really good one just as Xabi Alonso has, then a much better season is waiting for Bayern Munich. 

Then, why don't you compare the achievements by xabi and kompany? Just like this

V kompany : Championship league champion (burnley)
Xabi alonso : Champion of bundeslikga 23/24, DFB pokal champion 23/24

The gap is toooooo farrrrr between kompany and xabi alonso. They are also having different results in the career as football players as well. I remind you that how kompany helped burnley to play in EPL this season then he sends it back to the championship league again. 

Aside from that, you must have watched Bayern Munich against Real Madrid this year. Even while having problematic times with Tuchel they still caused big difficulties for Real Madrid. That comeback came really late in the match. If Bayern Munich have a better system to play consistently, I will definitely count them in the Champions League title race. Doesn't Kane deserve a championship already you think? 

Kane doesn't deserve it since bayern picked kompany as a new appointment. 

Kompany is not tuchel, then better to lower our expectation for kompany.

[topbitcoin]

We don't know anything about how good Kompany would be while managing a big team. But if he turns out to be a really good one just as Xabi Alonso has, then a much better season is waiting for Bayern Munich. 

We won't know because Kompany has never experienced that but comparing Xabi to Kompany at this time is a bit of a joke in my opinion because after all the situation has become a little different even though Kompany previously managed to bring Burnley to the EPL but he also made Burnley to the championship division this season.

When juxtaposed with Xabi, who in the last 2 seasons has always made a good contribution and even made his own record, this is indeed too far in terms of difference but hopefully the current doubts for Kompany will be a whip of enthusiasm for him in proving that he is indeed able to compete and bring Bayern back to a better situation after previously being quite chaotic in the hands of Tuchel.
Now all he has to do is provide valid evidence that he is really worthy and Bayern are not wrong to choose but when his contribution becomes mediocre and does not bring Bayern to a good direction then it is certain that his career that is being built will definitely fade immediately.

Liverpool not winning either of the two trophies(Europa League or Premier League) last season was surprising to many because the majority of football fans were anticipating a trophy win for Liverpool towards Klopp, to honor him for all his wonderful years as Liverpool coach.

Liverpool played well in the Premier League until their performance dropped towards the end of the season, they lost matches which i never expected them to lose. There was a point at which I was thinking the premier league winner would be between Arsenal and Liverpool because Manchester City was in 3rd place. Then, until Liverpool started performing poorly, they were losing matches that they were supposed to win, so they dropped to 3rd place, and the premier league title was between Manchester City and Arsenal. Seriously, I was expecting a better performance from Liverpool, but things didn’t go well for them, and Klopp couldn’t win any trophy.

[Cookdata]

Liverpool will miss Klopp based on the great work he did in Liverpool and how he transformed the club to be stronger and competitive in EPL. His departure might have a little problem in the club's performance and the players too. But I believe that changes is what we cannot stop from happening, and that is the reason a new coch will continue from where Klopp stopped.

Klopp signature after winning a match or a goal will remain in Liverpool for a long time, not sure if there is going to be anyone to change that soon, his absent is going to make a new mark on the club as I see some guys will leave the club as well particularly, Salah. Klopp is one of the reason for his stay all this while and since he has decided to retire, I'm sure we are going to hear some news about him going to Saudi Arabia to go and collect his retirement plans as well from Al-clubs where his mates are swimming in money.

Slot will try his best to see how he can balance the club performance to that of Klopp so that the fams will have confidence in him, because a lot will be expected from him. Sometimes, it is always difficult for a new coach to adapt with his new team but if he is a flexible coach, that will not be a problem for Slot.

I still don't understand why Liverpool board went for Slot, the appointment was quick one and when I checked his profile, he only has two trophy so far in his career. I'm not saying he isn't capable but he doesn't look appealing for the job or perhaps he wasn't popular and has been working in Feyenoord Dutch club and doesn't have high recognition like other clubs but I hope it goes well for the club this season to chear up the mind of the fans.

Seriously, I was expecting a better performance from Liverpool, but things didn’t go well for them, and Klopp couldn’t win any trophy.

They played well it’s not something to argue about, but what is the essence of starting well and not ending well because the whole purpose of participating in the premier league is to be able to win the title and they were close because the title was between, Manchester City, Liverpool and arsenal at least arsenal was even better than them. When everyone was trying to win towards the end of the season that was when Liverpool start becoming unstable. And it affected them because they had a better chance to even win. And before of the drama of who is going to win the premier league title I already know that it is going to be Manchester City, no bother is better than us in the premier league we are the best, nobody can argue that because we have been dominating and just the way Madrid are king of champions league so we are the king of premier league and all it’s a matter of time. Don’t be surprised to see Liverpool in a worst condition next season. We have a way of managing our players and that is why even with the injury of De Bruyne we were still doing well, even if we felt is absence our performance is still the best.

For the first time in since the UEFA Champions League competition was rebranded in 1992, Aston Villa will play in club football's most prestigious competition and the manager that'll lead them in the competition is no other than the very experienced Unai Emery. The former Sevilla boss is the most successful manager in the history of the UEFA Europa League competition but when it comes to the Champions League, he's yet to record any success. The quality of players at Aston Villa is strong enough to have a good campaign in the competition but I don't think they're strong enough to get past the quarter final stage.
The other clubs that aren't regular in the competition such a Girona, Bologna and Bayer Leverkusen I think also stands a good chance of making it outside the group stage of the competition

Aston Villa under Unai Emery have been a team to beat, they started last season in a good form and at one time a tittle contender but they fell off as we all know due to lack of squad depth. They were even lucky to me get this opportunity to compete in the Champions League due to Tottenham mixed performance. Right now in the champions league I hope they don’t end up as Newcastle that is getting a group of death and exiting at an early stage. But one thing the makes me think they will at least get out of the group stage is that Unai Emery is frequent in the competition than some middle club coaches. He guided Villarreal to the semis the last time he competed in the competition and his experience will be much more valuable at this time.

Firstly I wouldn’t put Bayer Leverkusen In the same category with Girona and Bologna in the champions league. Yes they haven’t won it but they are very much familiar with the competition, they have even in the last few years been in the competition more than even Aston Villa who had won it in the past. It will be a mixed feeling for First time Girona, maybe they will push harder to the quarterfinals like Leicester did when they came or fall fiat like Union Berlin
