UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Catenaccio]

I've never seen Kylian Mbappe perform disappointingly, maybe he doesn't score goals or assists or statistically, he doesn't play like he usually does, but surely many people will agree that he is a fairly stable player, which is why Real Madrid is trying to ensure he plays at a big club.

Mbappe is not God and he is not able to bring 3 points to his club in every match. He is not able to score goal in all matches and I am sure we can find disappointed matches and individual performances of Mbappe through his career so far from Monaco to PSG and French national team.

In fact, because of the presence of the captain of the French national team, many have predicted that Real Madrid will not only be able to defend the Laliga title but also the Champions League title and that is certainly not impossible for Real Madrid because they are one of the clubs that can achieve this while other big clubs are only occasionally unable to defend it in the following season, but still predicting that Real Madrid will defend the Champions League title is too early because the group draw has not yet been held.

He is one of best attacking players recent years and he will help Real Madrid to attack better next season. With competitiveness of Real Madrid, Mbappe will play for a club which usually is considered as one of best competitors for Champions League title nearly every season. It will be biggest surprise if Mbappe won't win any Champions League with Real Madrid in coming years and if it happens, we can say it is like destiny of Mbappe.

It's not easy to happen because Mbappe has a long career ahead and he will have enough time and seasons to play for Real Madrid and win Champions League with them.

Mbappé is still young, with a long career ahead of him. So if he performs aggressively from now then he can perform better later. Mbappe can give Real Madrid a good dream because until now the Real Madrid team has been strong enough, then the Real Madrid team has become even stronger due to the addition of Mbappe to the club. And these titles from the present to the future must be won.

I have no doubt Mbappe's Performance, despite that Ligue 1 cannot be as competitive as the other leagues. Many people believe that Mbappe was able to score so many goals because Ligue 1 is an easy league. And I disagree, if Ligue 1 is such an easy league, then why does Mbappe usually win the most goals? If the league was as simple as they claimed, I believe that Mbappe wouldn't be the only player to lead them in scoring goals. Mbappe is a talented player and I'm confident that he will win the most goals in La Liga next season, surprising those who believed he could only achieve that in Ligue 1.

It is not too early to think that Real Madrid will defend the Champions League title next season, after reviewing the top five leagues in Europe, no team compares to Real Madrid at this moment. So I don't think Real Madrid will have any problems winning their group stage games. Real Madrid did not lose any Champions League games this season without Mbappe, so why should you fear their strength to win games next season when Mbappe is in their mix? I believe that Madrid will be unstoppable next season.

In history of UEFA C1/ Champions League, there are very few clubs which could win three titles in three consecutive seasons or within several years so to catch Real Madrid's record, Manchester City will spend a long time to get it. They can win some titles but Real Madrid will be able to win more Champions League titles in future too.

Last two decades, Barcelona had some dominating seasons with their golden generation with Messi is a core player but they did not maintain it and they are still far to catch Real Madrid. It's explainable for all clubs as players come and go, start as young players, grow up, succeed, get old and retire. Success for one club can not be from only one generation of players but must be maintained with different generations and Real Madrid do it best so far.

Barcelona not dominance almost ten years ago for winning Champion League after season 2014/15, for the three consecutives winning of Champion League only Real Madrid did it and has opportunity for make this story again for two season later if back to back become the UCL winner. Some top teams lack dominance appearance in Champion League from Barcelona, Juventus, Milan and Inter Milan although last two season success qualified to Champion League final.

Little funny with top teams such as Arsenal and PSG still can't win any one Champion League tittle yet, both teams huge motivate for becoming the winner and stop joke from other fans. For next season winner candidate I think Real Madrid is one step closer indeed has Manchester City keep as bigger opponent teams opportunity wil make Madrid get difficult.

The Real Madrid team has been strong since Pati but this season Mbappe has become even stronger due to the addition of Mbappe to the Real Madrid team.  And this season will always be top and i can say manchester city can take second place and real madrid is likely to take first place. There will be a huge fight in the points table.

Mbappe just had a 5 years contract with Real Madrid, and he hasn't featured in any of the Real Madrid matches(Champions League or Laliga). To that, We don't know how his performance with Real Madrid will look like "good or bad" but we just hope it will be a fantastic one that keeps Real Madrid more formidable as they already are to lift the Laliga and Champions League trophy once again in the upcoming season

Funny enough, this is football a game of eleven Vs eleven players, once the whistle is blown for the game Start, there is always a different spirit in the field of play. For now it looks like The new bride of Real Madrid kylian Mbappé will automatically help Madrid conquer the entire Europe without resistance from other clubs, the champions League for next season is already looking like a done deal for Real Madrid in the minds of a lot of persons, well I'm here to remind you that, this is the game of football anything can happen.
This is not the first time Real Madrid are having a killer squad, during the time of Jose mourinho, they literally had world Stars in their first eleven, they couldn't win the champions League during mourinho stay. So sometimes it's not always about the cosmetics in football.

Dude, what do you think of Dortmund next season? They lost in the final round this season and that should make their motivation even greater to avenge their failure. They have lost twice in the final, the first time against Bayern Munich and the last time against Real Madrid. Their efforts were very good to reach the final but their luck was less fortunate when they had to face a prestigious team full of history in the Champions League.

I think Dortmund is one of the underrated teams and maybe we should be wary of this team even though it is in a group filled with other strong opponents. If only next season they had to face strong teams again before the final round then they could definitely achieve it again like this season. So it's not surprising that even though they are less fortunate, at least their mentality should be appreciated.

Dortmund's failure will make them learn to be better, this team is always surprising in the UCL, that's why I don't want to underestimate this team, we all know that a lot of good players come from this team, so I'm not surprised if Dortmund always has surprises in UCL, they are not very good in the domestic league, sometimes inconsistent, but they always play well in European competitions like the UCL, therefore I am sure that next season they will play even better than this season.

Next season will be quite tight competition because many teams will make changes to their main squad, that's why Dortmund must also do it and I believe that if they play consistently again like this season, it is clear that they will again qualify for the important round of the UCL season. In the future, they also definitely hope not to meet Madrid again next season, either in the final or in the semi-finals. because Madrid's strength will also be even stronger next season with the arrival of Mbappe on the front lines.

Mbappe can give Real Madrid a good dream because until now the Real Madrid team has been strong enough, then the Real Madrid team has become even stronger due to the addition of Mbappe to the club.

I know that Mbappé is good and had an impressive attacking skills plus the speed makes him a super player and the same time I feel the guy is over hyped they should see his performance first before concluding you don’t know how is performance will look like in Madrid before we can say anything. And his young player and he still have all the time to improve his career going to Madrid is a very good option for him and he will also become a better player because clubs like Madrid ain’t joking to he has to work very hard to accomplish. Either with or without Mbappé Madrid is a big club and will perform well so he should not have the mind set that he his going their to do Madrid a favor. Now that he as the opportunity to become part of Real Madrid he should perform better than what he as been playing in psg.

Just because you never saw that and it doesn't mean it's not possible for mbappe to play so badly, right? Im also feeling curious to see how good or bad mbappe's performance in real madrid. The friendly match of real madrid will be coming next month.
It's very farr and i can't be patience to see mbappe's performance.

Anyway, here's the schedule for the upcoming schedule of real madrid.



Real Madrid plans to defend all of its titles. It is apparent that Real Madrid is significantly superior to the other club when it's coming to the qualify of squads and mentality. How can we imagine Real Madrid would be unable to defend their titles if they sign Mbappe as an additional player? It's obviously increasing club's performance significantly.
I recall what Perez said about it. Signing Mbappe is part of Real Madrid's strategy to dominate everything in the following seasons.

I'm just curious what position Mbappe will play in Real Madrid shortly. He may play as a central striker and winger at times. Will Rodrygo play central striker, with Mbappe filling in as a right winger?

[emrecemsan]

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. 

But only for now the comparison is like this.    We don't know how much capable Kompany is with a much bigger team like Bayern Munich.

Yes, it is the truth that he ended up relegating back to the Championship just after the season he promoted to the Premier League. But it was Burnley which he was managing. How strong were they? The squad didn't have good standards for the Premier League right? It is really not easy to keep such team in the first league there. I don't want to close the door to him already as a result.

People didn't know about Xabi Alonso's capability with a big team. But now they know. Let's see about Kompany too as he is referenced by Guardiola.

They have lost twice in the final, the first time against Bayern Munich and the last time against Real Madrid. Their efforts were very good to reach the final but their luck was less fortunate when they had to face a prestigious team full of history in the Champions League.

Well, I still have confidence on Borussia Dortmund team against next season because they did well to qualified for UEFA champions league final to challenge real Madrid, but they made some mistakes in the first half that made them to lose the trophy.

I believe this second loss will be the last loss they will experience, before they will lift the trophy because their coach will going to prepare the players to improve more next season, so that the opportunity will be there for them to break the record to lift the trophy.

If only next season they had to face strong teams again before the final round then they could definitely achieve it again like this season. So it's not surprising that even though they are less fortunate, at least their mentality should be appreciated.

Despite what other teams are doing by bringing in new players, I don't think Borussia Dortmund team will have any fear about such teams next season, because they have talented coach that know how to select players that can face such team in the competition.

Mbappe can give Real Madrid a good dream because until now the Real Madrid team has been strong enough, then the Real Madrid team has become even stronger due to the addition of Mbappe to the club. And these titles from the present to the future must be won.

Real Madrid is still able to win the UCL trophy even without Mbappe presence in the squad. I think your assumption is wrong if you say Mbappe can give Real Madrid beautiful dreams. In my opinion, on the contrary, Mbappe can realize his dream with Real Madrid of winning the UCL trophy, so far he has never felt the sensation of lifting the trophy.
Mbappe presence will make Real Madrid stronger, this cannot be denied based on his performance on the pitch. In the future, Real Madrid will be the club that has the greatest chance of winning every championship. Their challengers must be ready to build their squad to match the strength that Real Madrid has if they want to win the most prestigious trophy in the European championship.

[Marvelockg]

He is one of best attacking players recent years and he will help Real Madrid to attack better next season.

It's not easy to happen because Mbappe has a long career ahead and he will have enough time and seasons to play for Real Madrid and win Champions League with them.

you all be talking about mbape's coming to PSG as though the club was performing below expectation before he joined the team or that there chance of winning the next champions league title is only dependent on his joining the team.  With or without mbape, real Madrid remains the most likely to always win in the champions league and even mbape knows this. for me, mbape had other options to consider if he just wanted to leave PSG and play normal football but didn't go to those places. He went to real Madrid because that's the most likely place to win titles. They've been consistent, they have the winning mentality and has almost everything that it takes to keep winning the champions league and his joining the team is just to find a team with players of like minds and the truth is that with an attack he's going to bring in together with Rodrygo vini jnr and Bellingham, we're going to see real madrid almost having a perfect attack that's stronger than any you've seen in both laliga and EPL.

Their efforts were very good to reach the final but their luck was less fortunate when they had to face a prestigious team full of history in the Champions League.

They will end up like Inter, they were able to reach final in the last season, but they lose in round of 16. Dortmund and Inter are both of teams that very lucky can enter to final in Champions League, so don't expect anything in the next season.

Next season will be interesting since Leverkusen and Bologna are joining the race.

To be honest, I personally say that Borussia Dortmund is not a team with ambitions for achievements, maybe they are very satisfied with what they can achieve this season by being runners up in the Champions League. However, we can see their performance in the Bundesliga, they wouldn't even be able to be in the Champions League if the Champions League was still in the same format. However, the new format that will be used means the Bundesliga will have 5 places for its representatives in the Champions League.

I myself cannot analyze what Borussia Dortmund is thinking other than they prioritize business. because if they want to then they can become an even better team than what we see now. How many star players did they sell for a profit? and if they keep him then they will be a team with star players in every position. Yes, I know business is also important, but I mean they can also do both, achievement and business.

[Lidger]

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.

One season has just ended and the teams have started preparing for another season. It happens every season that when a team exits the Champions League group stage in the quarter-finals or semi-finals, they start planning to improve the next season from there. Manchester City Bayern Munich were the favorites this season but they lost so they will definitely try to do well in the Champions League next season. Real Madrid have strengthened their squad so expectations are high from them next season.

Real Madrid is one of the best team for Champions League and till now they have won 15 Champions League titles, this achievement shows how successful they are in Champions League.  

15 Champions League titles they have won in the past but not like that they have won the Champions League titles in the past and they have maintained that winning streak till now. You said real madrid favorite next season of course i agree with you but i want other teams to compete hard and new teams to do well in champions league tournaments. Think how happy it will be for those who have been trying to win the Champions League title for the last 10 years if they can win the Champions League title. So hopefully next season some new team will take this opportunity and show like this

Dortmund is not given nearly enough credit by most. They have made it to the finals twice, they are strong and resilient. Twice! That is no accident. They have a terrific roster, a capable coach, and they can only improve.

Those Champions League groups are nasty now. With the greatest teams in the world vying for attention, one poor game may send you packing. I do, however, believe Dortmund. Given their talent and heart, I wouldn't be shocked to see them lift that trophy the following season. Folks, never forget that it goes beyond the victories and losses. The will to win, the tenacity, and the guts are what count. Dortmund has plenty of that.

In fact, because of the presence of the captain of the French national team, many have predicted that Real Madrid will not only be able to defend the Laliga title but also the Champions League title and that is certainly not impossible for Real Madrid because they are one of the clubs that can achieve this while other big clubs are only occasionally unable to defend it in the following season, but still predicting that Real Madrid will defend the Champions League title is too early because the group draw has not yet been held.

I think Mbappe will play as a right winger or central striker as the substitute for Rodrygo or Bellingham in some of the Real Madrid since the match formation of Real Madrid is mostly 4-4-2 and 4-3-1-2. However, I think Ancelotti would know the best way to play Mbappe to get  the desired results of Mbappe's potential to score goals and make assists since Kross is retiring from football

Mbappe is not God and he is not able to bring 3 points to his club in every match. He is not able to score goal in all matches and I am sure we can find disappointed matches and individual performances of Mbappe through his career so far from Monaco to PSG and French national team.

In fact, because of the presence of the captain of the French national team, many have predicted that Real Madrid will not only be able to defend the Laliga title but also the Champions League title and that is certainly not impossible for Real Madrid because they are one of the clubs that can achieve this while other big clubs are only occasionally unable to defend it in the following season, but still predicting that Real Madrid will defend the Champions League title is too early because the group draw has not yet been held.

It's not easy to happen because Mbappe has a long career ahead and he will have enough time and seasons to play for Real Madrid and win Champions League with them.

Mbappé is still young, with a long career ahead of him. So if he performs aggressively from now then he can perform better later. Mbappe can give Real Madrid a good dream because until now the Real Madrid team has been strong enough, then the Real Madrid team has become even stronger due to the addition of Mbappe to the club. And these titles from the present to the future must be won.

He is a very good player with a good career ahead in football his performance is simply amazing and in Real Madrid it's very interesting to see him playing with Kroos and other intelligent players.

Dortmund doesn't have the ambition for that, they haven't built a team that is stronger than before and that has continued to happen in the past few seasons so don't ever hope that Dortmund will be stronger next season.
Dortmund's success in entering the final twice in the last few seasons is worthy of appreciation, but I don't think Dortmund needs to be too favored to be able to do it again, this team is strong but not as strong as other teams which have much bigger ambitions than Dortmund.
