UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Pressurizedem]

Really expecting changes to happen in the champions league next season.I dont want Madrid to win the Champions league again next season before it will turn to farmers zone.It is good that the trophy is rotating,it shouldnt be that one particular club owns it every season just like Pep Guardiola's Manchester City owns the premier league.I am expecting Arsenal,Bayern, Barcelona and Leverkusen to step up their performance in the champions league next season,and emerge as the winner,I know Mancity will be up their competing too,but I expect those mentioned teams to really come up to win claim the tittle.

[tusandii]

I was reading the news and just now regarding the European teams that will participate in the Champions League this year it turned out that another club that will participate in the competition is Atalanta who have made another great purchase that will certainly give a great reinforcement to this team so watch out for Atalanta who could do really well or at least make a good progress in these matches, they seem to be a strong team and full of stimuli after the success they had in the Europa League

Atalanta did very well in the last Europa league competition for sure but champions league? It's a completely different ball game entirely. Compared to the UCL, I would say the Europa is alot easier to scale through the stages. The UCL on the other hand, you're more likely to lose out at any stage of the competition because the stakes and very high and almost all teams there are top tier teams — at your level or above it. As much as I'd love to see an underdog like Atalanta or Leipzig to win, I don't think we'll get it in the upcoming season.

The Champions League is the most difficult competition among other competitions and as we know, Atalanta may have difficulty competing there and become the underdog club in the UCL later, although actually no one knows about the surprises that will happen like last season where Atalanta was not really the favorite in the UEL but the club is capable of winning this prestigious title, but in the UCL I am not sure Atalanta will be able to beat strong UCL candidates such as Real Madrid, Man City, Bayern Munich, Arsenal Liverpool and many other strong and experienced clubs.

Likewise with Leverkusen, the two clubs between Atalanta and Leverkusen will play in the UCL next season. They were strong contestants in the UEL last season but I doubt they will be able to reach the highest level in the UCL considering the very tight competition here

[slapper]

Gaurdiola will be able to revenge their last season defeat by Real Madrid, because it will be impossible for that to happen. Next season is the last season of Gaurdiola in Manchester City and it is not possible for City to win the champios league next season because Real Madrid is still super hot with the addition of Mbappe the team will be fire.

Real Madrid will be very hot next season just because of Mbappe's presence, but that doesn’t mean the Champions League will be easy for them. Just like you said, next season will be the last season for Guardiola at Manchester City, so he will do everything in his power to win the Champions League for the club before leaving, and we know Manchester City also has a strong squad. So I can’t really say Real Madrid will win the Champions League next season, but I know the season will be an interesting one that everyone will enjoy.

Mbappe to Real Madrid? That's some next-level sh*t right there. But Champions League is huge, with some very outstanding teams like Man City with Guardiola motivated as hell for a return in his last season. I respect them all. Sure, Real Madrid's stacked, particularly with Mbappe among Vinicius's ranks and the rest of that team. But Champions League is where the unexpected becomes the standard, where even the big dogs could find their butts given to them

[lizarder]

Looking at every team in the champion's league this season, the winner is going to be either Manchester city or Real Madrid because these are the two teams I still find best amongst others, I know there are other good tea s from other leagues but these two stands out and have always been, even their team currently have all the star players you can think of , that is why I believe strongly that between the both of them, one person will win the champions league.

What you think is what almost everyone thinks. But we shouldn’t forget the fact that anything can happen at anytime and what you least expect may happen and the outcome of a situation will be different from what you’ve assumed it to be. I have seen great football from both teams and all I can say is that they’re the very best teams and with no doubt making it to the final. Also having in mind that, the impossibilities in football can come up and have them not to reach the finals of the competition, thereby facing elimination earlier.

Football always produces surprises and things beyond predictions. For example, if this season we see Real Madrid, Man City and Bayern Munich as one of the strong teams in the Champions League, then in the next season it is possible that all three clubs fail to advance to the final. The knockout system is much more difficult because they have to win all the matches when they have qualified for the last 16 because if they lose, they are stopped. It is different from following the domestic league competition system because it is about points so a few defeats do not determine anything.

Although everyone has their own view, even if some active teams in the Champions League are underestimated, they can still surprise many of us with a completely different performance, which we might be thinking is just because of luck, but they actually work for it, so let's just see how the season will even start.

Everyone is coming to a conclusion of what the next season football will be but little did they know that most of the teams will improve in their football style come next season. If a team have improved in their performance, it means they’ll play and get a better outcome than the previous season. Conclusions can be made but not on the basis of having it in mind to be the final result of the season.

After the season ends, all teams will definitely try to evaluate and they will try to fix some sectors that are considered weak. Finding some ideal players as a step to strengthen the team is a must so that they can compete in the next season. The final result is difficult to predict, but people look for an idea of how the previous season was and when they were strong, people will say that the next season will still be strong. Even though that is not necessarily because a little change can change everything and maybe we can see from the teams that existed before.

Gaurdiola will be able to revenge their last season defeat by Real Madrid, because it will be impossible for that to happen. Next season is the last season of Gaurdiola in Manchester City and it is not possible for City to win the champios league next season because Real Madrid is still super hot with the addition of Mbappe the team will be fire.

So I can’t really say Real Madrid will win the Champions League next season, but I know the season will be an interesting one that everyone will enjoy.

Real Madrid is always the most favored team in this tournament, but anything can happen depending on the team's condition when facing a crucial match. Pep Guardiola will certainly try to win his second UCL trophy with Manchester City as well as being the best farewell if he is not interested in extending his contract there. After last season's failure, Guardiola will try to improve Manchester City quality to win this trophy again. Manchester City, who have a squad that is almost the same as Real Madrid, will try to win this trophy again, they are very enthusiastic about winning the second title and are ready to give their best performance this season.

I’m also not expecting Real Madrid to win the Champions League next season because Manchester City and other clubs who are even tougher than Real Madrid are going to be fully ready for next season's Champions League. I believe next season will be a hot season, and again, I'm expecting Real Madrid to do more than they did last season because of the beast they have in their squad Now, Mbappe is a very talented player. He can do everything in his power to get the visibility he wants in Real Madrid, but what I’m also doubting is the trophy for the Champions League next season. I think it will be difficult for Real Madrid.

I think you think too much about Madrid having difficulties in the next UCL season, however Madrid has the best squad in the world at the moment and also a very experienced coach so I'm pretty sure Madrid will be champions of the UCL again next season

but as usual, it goes Madrid is not easy because they have to face big teams that have made changes to their players and strategy and I don't think that is a very serious threat to Madrid, the UCL DNA is already embedded in the Madrid squad

Even though many clubs out there are improving their squads for next season, on the other hand Madrid is still a candidate to win it again with the current squad, I agree with what you said and really agree with your statement, Madrid still has top players and plus a coach who has  experience in the Champions League is very successful when bringing big clubs, but on the other hand, what you said is not a threat to Madrid, in fact it is something that must be adapted when meeting strong teams, even though Madrid has an expensive squad, it cannot be a benchmark.  Madrid will always win the match.

[Distraction]

Mbappe to Real Madrid? That's some next-level sh*t right there. But Champions League is huge, with some very outstanding teams like Man City with Guardiola motivated as hell for a return in his last season. I respect them all. Sure, Real Madrid's stacked, particularly with Mbappe among Vinicius's ranks and the rest of that team. But Champions League is where the unexpected becomes the standard, where even the big dogs could find their butts given to them

Not even only Mbappe. Real Madrid doesn't intend to just cool down after this huge signing.    They are aiming to have a very strong squad in every positions of their lineup.

Lately they are looking for defenders. Because Alaba is finished. He is still injured and he just can't get rid of getting injured often. He can't be any use like that anymore. Nacho has just agreed to leave the team too. They are looking for Saliba transfer for now. If they sign him just think about a Saliba - Rüdiger defense line. It sounds awesome. It is going to be extra difficult to stop Real Madrid with such a strong squad and a great manager like Ancelotti.

[bitLeap]

Real Madrid will be very hot next season just because of Mbappe's presence, but that doesn’t mean the Champions League will be easy for them. Just like you said, next season will be the last season for Guardiola at Manchester City, so he will do everything in his power to win the Champions League for the club before leaving, and we know Manchester City also has a strong squad. So I can’t really say Real Madrid will win the Champions League next season, but I know the season will be an interesting one that everyone will enjoy.

He can do everything in his power to get the visibility he wants in Real Madrid, but what I’m also doubting is the trophy for the Champions League next season. I think it will be difficult for Real Madrid.

Man City, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leverkusen, Dortmund, Inter, AC Milan and several other candidate teams will continue to be obstacles for Madrid. But regarding probability, of course Mbappe arrival is a plus point, but as you said, that doesn't mean Madrid will easily win the Champions League trophy next season. For me now I am looking forward to how far this club will prepare itself to give its best.

[rendravolt]

Gaurdiola will be able to revenge their last season defeat by Real Madrid, because it will be impossible for that to happen. Next season is the last season of Gaurdiola in Manchester City and it is not possible for City to win the champios league next season because Real Madrid is still super hot with the addition of Mbappe the team will be fire.

Pep will try his best to make the competition interesting but the king will remain being king. Next season will be a tough one in UCL and apart from Real Madrid we might see surprises from small clubs that we don't expect. This is why I don't think that City will reach the finals.

It's only natural that Pep Guardiola would do that, especially if we remember that his team dominated the two legs and actually lost in the penalty shootout. However, Real Madrid has a way to reduce it all and it is clear that Ancelotti is the right coach to counter Pep Guardiola's strategy.

Talking about next season, nothing is certain, especially for Manchester City to be able to win the Champions League again and maybe one of the reasons is because Real Madrid is always there to overshadow them. Other teams are also difficult to predict, especially if you see Dortmund reach the final round, that is certainly a very surprising thing. Previously, no one thought they could reach the top of the match and hopefully next season another team will appear as lucky as Dortmund.

For me now I am looking forward to how far this club will prepare itself to give its best.

Most people also really want to see other teams be better prepared when they have to face Real Madrid in the Champions League because such a complicated and fierce match will always be a memorable moment and that's what the audience actually likes more than an easier victory for one team. Because last season Real Madrid also struggled when they reached the final even though in the end Real Madrid became the champion because their mentality was really ready for it.

Manchester City, who have a squad that is almost the same as Real Madrid, will try to win this trophy again, they are very enthusiastic about winning the second title and are ready to give their best performance this season.

I don't think with Real Msdrid only as the favorite team for winning UEFA Champion League but also have Manchester City keep dominance as the canidate winner, last season The Citizen have eliminated by Real Madrid in quarter final and make most of fans disappointed with the format rule both favorite teams have face early on quarter final round.

Next season, Pep Guardiola still Manchester City manager and I think he has potential to stop Madrid dominamcr but wish both team face until final round not have to face at early round.
Many new come teams will participants in Champion League next season and new format adopt will get difference atmosphere as usually when old format adopting.

[hyudien]

Gaurdiola will be able to revenge their last season defeat by Real Madrid, because it will be impossible for that to happen. Next season is the last season of Gaurdiola in Manchester City and it is not possible for City to win the champios league next season because Real Madrid is still super hot with the addition of Mbappe the team will be fire.

Previously, no one thought they could reach the top of the match and hopefully next season another team will appear as lucky as Dortmund.

Currently there is no news that Pep Guardiola will extend his contract with Manchester City, so we assume this season will be Pep Guardiola's last season with Manchester City. As a coach, of course he also wants to give the best, especially since this is his last season with the team. He will do something that will make their farewell full of happiness, even though Manchester City will definitely feel sad because this excellent coach has to leave behind.
Pep Guardiola reportedly provided conditions for Manchester City to fulfill if Manchester City wants to sign a contract extension. However, I don't yet know the details of the request he submitted. If it's about money, I think it will be easy for Manchester City to grant it, but if it's something else then I can't say whether Manchester City can grant it or not.
Talking about Real Madrid, they are a team that is a stumbling block for all teams in the Champions League, because they always have their own way of winning.

Football sometimes brings unexpected surprises that cannot be avoided, although currently many people favor Real Madrid, but the surprise of an injured player can always be a big problem.
Just look at how Manchester City looked at that time after getting the UCL but Kevin De Bruyne suffered an injury, making the club's performance in the following season less than optimal.
A problem like this could happen to any club, Real Madrid, which looks very strong, could also suffer the same fate.

I don't expect that to happen, but at least we shouldn't have too much hope for Real Madrid because even though Mbappe's arrival currently provides additional value, we haven't seen how he looks with Real Madrid.

Manchester City is currently still very ready and could easily beat Real Madrid again.
Haaland is still Pep Guardiola's mainstay and as long as these two important roles are still with Man City, they will remain the strongest club after Real Madrid.

The Champions League has a different atmosphere, it is not easy for each team to achieve the title according to their wishes. However, the format of next season's Champions League has changed, which will of course mean that every coach must be careful in managing his players. Real Madrid is always the favorite in the tournament but of course there is no guarantee at all. Manchester City are also favorites due to Pep Guardiola's influence, but the tight competition can sometimes make him frustrated. However, what is clear is that the Champions League always attracts a lot of attention and is very likely to produce new champions next season.

Of course we know, this is because it is different from the Domestic League competition. Apart from meeting sessions at the UCL not being as busy as the Domestic League, the UCL competition does not offer many options apart from requiring the competing teams to win every match. especially in the knockout phase, the team that loses must be willing to step aside. That's why the atmosphere of the Champions League is different from other competitions. Plus, the teams involved in this competition are one of the strong teams in their respective leagues. although so far, we agree that Real Madrid and Manchester City have a high probability of appearing in the final match. However, as we discussed, there is no definite guarantee that these two teams will be able to progress perfectly. In fact, several other teams also have the potential to match or could overthrow the top team.

The tough competition hasn't started yet, but we will find out soon at least after various teams are in the stage of deepening their squads in this transfer window. Apart from wanting their team to be more competitive, any team would really want to lift the Champions League trophy. The difference is, there are those who have great opportunities with the depth of their team and there are also those who have to fight and work hard to get maximum results. It is not impossible that Bayern Munich can appear competitive even though they are led by a young coach who does not have much experience. Even though many doubt it, Bayern is still a strong team. maybe from a team from the Italian League, maybe they will surprise you. or, a Premier League team other than Manchester City. well, what we are talking about is still in the discussion and speculation stage.

[Palakka]

It's only natural that Pep Guardiola would do that, especially if we remember that his team dominated the two legs and actually lost in the penalty shootout. However, Real Madrid has a way to reduce it all and it is clear that Ancelotti is the right coach to counter Pep Guardiola's strategy.

Talking about next season, nothing is certain, especially for Manchester City to be able to win the Champions League again and maybe one of the reasons is because Real Madrid is always there to overshadow them. Other teams are also difficult to predict, especially if you see Dortmund reach the final round, that is certainly a very surprising thing. Previously, no one thought they could reach the top of the match and hopefully next season another team will appear as lucky as Dortmund.

Both teams have shown the quality and quantity they have previously in the quarter-finals last season, Manchester City, who were superior in possession, were actually able to take the lead against Madrid, but it wouldn't be Madrid if they couldn't make a comeback and instead destroyed Manchester City in the second leg despite winner must be determined by penalty kicks, so far both teams have experienced many squad changes due to players leaving and coming, but despite the many changes that have occurred of course both are still the favorite teams to be able to win the Champions League next season, the quality of the squad and supported by the cool hands of great coaches like Guardiola and Ancelotti certainly make Madrid and Manchester City look quite perfect as a team.

I am quite sure that next season they will still be able to be candidates and favorites in the Champions League, but to see these two teams meet in the final seems unlikely to happen due to changes in the format of the Champions League this season, but even so, of course we hope that next season Champions League will be very more tight and full of surprises from the teams that are the favorites so that way we will see the Champions League being better than before, of course I personally and maybe we are all too bored seeing rich and strong teams continuing to dominate the Champions League all this time.

Manchester City is currently still very ready and could easily beat Real Madrid again.
Haaland is still Pep Guardiola's mainstay and as long as these two important roles are still with Man City, they will remain the strongest club after Real Madrid.

Haaland can't do much when facing Madrid, therefore Guardiola needs new players on the front lines who can accompany Haaland to be more productive in scoring goals easily. Haaland can only shine when facing an underdog team, whereas if he meets a strong team In fact, he can't penetrate the defense well and even has difficulty scoring goals. I don't think Guardiola can continue to rely on Haaland because there are still many great players who can be recruited into Manchester City's main squad to fill the front line so they can be more productive when facing strong and difficult teams. . I'm still not sure Manchester City will win the UCL next season if they don't make changes to their current main squad.

No need for Pep Guardiola to sign new players to assist Haaland, Kevin De Bryune is there to assist him but due to the injury that both players suffered towards the ending part of last season made them not to be able to Perform as they normally do, instead of signing more players to the team Pep Guardiola should consider using some of the players in substitute to balance up the challenge that Haaland is getting and Guardiola should not be overdependent on Haaland alone, he should try and build up other players in the squad so that in a case of injury he can have a reliable replacement for Erling Haaland. Haaland still shine even when playing against a strong opponent so saying that he only performs when they meet a mediocre team is not true. Remember he scored a hat trick in their derby match against Manchester United last season so except you will classify Manchester United as a mediocre team then I can agree to what you said.
One thing you need to know is that Manchester City, even though they are one of the strongest contender of the Champions League but they are mostly unlucky in winning the Champions League so even if they sign new players, don't think it will make any difference.

[Spaceman1000$]

Gaurdiola will be able to revenge their last season defeat by Real Madrid, because it will be impossible for that to happen. Next season is the last season of Gaurdiola in Manchester City and it is not possible for City to win the champios league next season because Real Madrid is still super hot with the addition of Mbappe the team will be fire.

Lol let pep guardiola not end the season Trophyless like Jürgen klopp did last season with Liverpool after it was looking like he will leave at the end of the season with the hope that he was going to win a trophy for them, even if it was the FA cup for The REDS. i was saying so because you said pep guardiola will do something to make his farewell full of happiness. However pep guardiola has done his best for Manchester City, be has brought them to the spotlight of European football for more than five running, even if he ends up trophyless next season, they will still bid him farewell and appreciate him for the good works he has done.

talking pep guardiola wanting to extend his contract with Manchester city, I doubt if such thing will happen, as it has already been rumoured since last season that, this season might be pep guardiola last with the Citizens.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Manchester City is currently still very ready and could easily beat Real Madrid again.
Haaland is still Pep Guardiola's mainstay and as long as these two important roles are still with Man City, they will remain the strongest club after Real Madrid.

I'm still not sure Manchester City will win the UCL next season if they don't make changes to their current main squad.  

It is a good idea if Pep Guardiola can sign more quality players to strengthen the team's standard. Despite the team being strong enough to compete with any other teams, it will be a great idea in case issues like injuries arise during the competition, like how Kevin De Bruyne was suffering from an injury last season and also Haaland. Just imagine they have great replacements for these players; they may not suffer from losing some matches last season. It is not that Haaland can't do much better when facing Real Madrid, but the truth is that Real Madrid is not a small team.Real Madrid has a better squad, the same as Manchester City, so I don't expect either Real's striker or Manchester City's top striker to always find it easy to score like that. In fact, it is the collective effort of all players in the team. If they play well and create good chances for Haaland, he will definitely score because he is a very good scorer.

[KTChampions]

Mbappe to Real Madrid? That's some next-level sh*t right there. But Champions League is huge, with some very outstanding teams like Man City with Guardiola motivated as hell for a return in his last season. I respect them all. Sure, Real Madrid's stacked, particularly with Mbappe among Vinicius's ranks and the rest of that team. But Champions League is where the unexpected becomes the standard, where even the big dogs could find their butts given to them

But in this case, you should expect that City will once again be knocked out by some ordinary club and Real won’t even have to strain 
In general, it’s quite sad that everyone began (and probably rightly) to evaluate the Champions League as a tournament for a narrow group of clubs where the favorites are rated as 2.5-4.0. This says a lot about the predictability of the tournament. If I remember correctly, this season the NHL favorite was rated as 7.0. That is, in fact, many clubs had a chance to win and the whole tournament was interesting.
