UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[hahay]

Every other club are stepping up their team as Real Madrid while they are getting ready for the next season Champions league competition, and no doubt that Real has dominated the Champions league competition in this recent years, and regardless of them being the current champions league winner, Champions league is still more of an open competition each season and no team is guaranteed of the winner even though it happens that Real Madrid is dominating the competition, we quite huge number of strong Big teams that are fully ready to stop them next season.

That is 100% the case. All those titles Real Madrid could have gone to a different team. There is no doubt I guess that 95% of the people agree it is tiny little, sometimes lucky things that played in favor of Real Madrid. Look at Toni Kroos and how he said that Real Madrid is a force and they are almost never lucky, but so experienced and bla bla. Now what happened to Germany against Spain? Clearly a handball denied and that can destroy all the title dreams. It's little things sometimes a team can't even influence. And don't get me wrong: I like Kroos. I just thought that goes too far when he said that. Dortmund in the final just hit the post, not the goal. They dominated the first half. It's all these little things and I expect exactly the same for next season.

Basically, I also believe that other elite teams will still have a chance to beat Real Madrid and win the Champions League trophy. But anyway, because Real Madrid is at or has a very  good level, then ofcourse Real Madrid will always have a very good chance of getting a trophy. But indeed, to beat Real Madrid it seems like other teams also need luck, or at the same time Real Madrid gets bad luck. Because I think, maybe that's the only factor that will make Real Madrid lose and fail to get a trophy.

Because after all, I remember very well last season that it was also difficult for Real Madrid to win even though they only played against teams at a lower level in the group stage.  With the difficulties experienced by Real Madrid in the group stage, I think Real Madrid will also find it difficult to get good results in the knockout phase. But in reality, Real Madrid still managed to beat Manchester City and continued with their success in getting the trophy.

But in reality, Real Madrid still managed to beat Manchester City and continued with their success in getting the trophy.

This is what I have observed about Real Madrid, they do start the competition as if they are weak in the group stage but the moment the competition gets to the knockout stage to the semifinals that it when the start playing very serious.

The second is that Real Madrid is one of the most lucky team in UCL because they always have luck when they are playing the finals than any other team and during the group stage to let's say the quarter finals, they do play with clubs that are not too strong up to them. This is why Real Madrid still stand the chance of winning UCL next season tahn any other club.

Real Madrid have always been a good team in the Champions League, and I believe they will continue doing that as long as they will continue to be with Ancelotti. The Champions League competition is in their body already; they have been doing very well in the competition. We will see how they perform next season again, although I know the arrival of Mbappe will surely bring more positive changes from next season, so I think we should be expecting another Champions League trophy from next season.

At some point Madrid even makes it feel like the champions league is a domestic league in the way they always get to win the league titles too frequently, they are very good and have a very good and functional tactic they use on the champions league which keeps producing the kind of results they get for them. The fortifications they are making on the team makes them even more potentials to winning the league again even in subsequent season provided they still have all of their functional strategies in place only that they may at some point have a change of coach and I know that is going to affect them a whole while, but then the strength of the squad may likely not drop only their technicalities is going to change.

The Champions League competition with the domestic league is clearly a very different competition, This doesn't mean that Real Madrid has won more Champions Leagues than other clubs, making the UCL competition easier for them despite the fact that Real Madrid sometimes still has difficulties
Real Madrid won the La Liga title 36 times while the Champions League 15 times means that the UCL is still very competitive for other big clubs and Real Madrid is not the only strongest club there.
I admit that Real Madrid still has a stable performance every season, it's difficult for any club to beat them, that's what makes them survive so they don't give up easily, but that does not mean that the UCL feels like a domestic league. In my opinion, the UCL is still the most difficult league among the others.

In the Champions League, I didn't see any club that will challenge Real Madrid unless it was Manchester City, but we don't know about next season if they will have a club that will definitely challenge them and win them on the pitch, but it will be very difficult to find a club that will challenge them because the squad that Madrid has, I don't think they have the best players in any European league, but we don't know about the features. And I am confident that Real Madrid or Manchester City will remain the favorites to win the Champions League due to their experience and great players. So, any team that wants to compete with the team must obtain youthful talents players in the club. So any team that what to compete with the team need to get young stars and better coach like Ancelotti or Guadiola. Because is there time now, am just waiting how xabi Alonso will perform in the UCL with Bayern Leverkusen let see if the club can challenge Real Madrid in the competition if they meet each other and see if they will get chance and win them.

[SOKO-DEKE]

As long as Real Madrid doesn't have any problems like Barcelona is currently experiencing, they will continue to dominate every competition, including the Champions League. Real Madrid is the club with the most ambition to win every trophy, they will continue to improve the quality of their squad to dominate other clubs. Real Madrid success in winning the Champions League and La Liga trophies will probably continue next season; they are still strengthened by the players who won trophies this season. Mbappe arrival will also have a big influence on Real Madrid performance in the following season.

Several other clubs are experiencing internal problems which are causing their performance to decline slightly, Barcelona is experiencing financial problems, while Bayern Munich is adapting to a new coach who has minimal experience in European competitions. Only Manchester City is the toughest competitor for Real Madrid in the title race, Leverkusen may make a surprise next season with its increasing strength after bringing in new players in the transfer market.

Yes, I fully agree with you that Real Madrid will continue to dominate every competition with this their current form. They really have the quality players who can continue playing great football for them. At this moment, I have some confidence that the only team that will beat Real Madrid, unless luck is on their side, is their own team. I am aware there are some teams which are also in great form, but the truth is none have a complete squad like Real Madrid.They recently added Mbappe to the team to strengthen their performance again. I don't know what will actually happen next season, but if I am asked the favorite team to win the Champions League currently, I will say it is Real Madrid. I believe they will really work hard to achieve the Champions League title next season again.

No doubt Real Madrid has equipped the team in a way that they can defeat any opponent they play against but I think it is still possible for a team with a complete squad to underperform as we saw in the PSG team where they had Mbappe, Messi, Naymer and Ramos but still failed to win the Champions League trophy for the team.

Real Madrid will still have so many teams that will compete with them in the champions league but it is the performance of the team that will determine if the team will be able to dominate in the champions league.

[Ryu_Ar1]

To say that they will be championship candidates again next season I would agree with that, but to say they are winners for next season I think is too hasty.
Even though I like this club and hope they win the Champions League again next season and even new targets such as the treble winner are always expected for Madrid but still saying they are winners from now on I think it's too much and seems arrogant, because after all the Champions League is not an easy competition and there will be many obstacles to become a winner in this competition. There are still some big clubs that are worth paying attention to, especially for Manchester City, which in the last few seasons they have always been successful in setting records at the end of the season.

I agree with what you've said in this regard because we still have to wait to see what Ancelotti will do in the coming season to make Madrid better.
The attacking line, which last season at the start of the season some people doubted because Madrid boldly released Benzema without looking for new attacking options and only added Joselu on loan, actually managed to bring them to glory, but this season we don't seem to have to worry about that again because apart from Vini, Rodrygo and Jude who are their goal machines, for next season there will be Mbappe who will certainly be the center of attention in his first season at Madrid.
However, there may be some changes in the defense that should be noted at this point. Alaba still has an ACL that we don't know when he will recover, Nacho has also left although there is an option for Tchouameni to be pulled back to center back but it would be more worth it if Madrid looks for new alternatives from now on to fill the defense to be more solid. As for the goalkeeper position, Kepa is set to return to Chelsea but Lunin, with his good form this season, can already compete with Courtois which makes it more interesting.

Indeed, such a thing is also not a mistake because it is still considered a prediction but in the end we also cannot assume that this is a belief that Madrid is the champion considering the season has not yet begun and we cannot be arrogant about it even though now there is Mbappe which will certainly further strengthen the current condition of Madrid.

Ancelotti always knows what he wants to do and this season actually with 2 trophies given is proof that he always does not mess with his work even though sometimes some of his decisions not to bring players always provide pros and cons and become a conversation in the end.

For this season there will definitely be some changes that occur especially for their defense and until now the rumors of Davies are still rolling while there are still several other defenders that they are currently monitoring to further strengthen the condition of the Madrid defense but they are also always silent in the matter of transferring players so we only need to wait for who else they will bring in to prepare for next season.

That was PSG, not Real Madrid, and the fact that this is a different team with a different coach and different talented players makes many have hope that they will definitely win the championship trophy this upcoming season because many already have hope in them, and Ancelotti is ready to put his endless effort in as far as seeing the success of Real Madrid in both the La Liga and the Champions League.
 
Although I know they are miracles and lucky that might favour other teams, if Real Madrid can do it last season without mbappe, then I am very sure they will be able to do it better this upcoming season with mbappe.

[Blitzboy]

Real Madrid is the most consistent team in the UCL cups and has won the most trophies. We can call them winners. Everything is in place for the next season. An important addition at Real Madrid, the transfer Mbappe is now with them. Real Madrid and Manchester City appear to be the best candidates for the Champions League cup.

Ancelotti uses the squad he knows very well. They didn't even have a centre-forward last season, but Ancelotti developed a game and system.

To say that they will be championship candidates again next season I would agree with that, but to say they are winners for next season I think is too hasty.

There are still some big clubs that are worth paying attention to, especially for Manchester City, which in the last few seasons they have always been successful in setting records at the end of the season.

So in this case we only need to see whether the loss of Nacho and Kroos in their defense and midfield and the arrival of Mbappe in attack can make Madrid more stable or not for next season.

Real Madrid is always the team to beat. Always. No doubt, we're creating something exceptional. Bellingham, Mbappe? They're winners. Yes, losing Nacho and Kroos is hard. They're legendary. And we're Real Madrid. Always find a way.

Everyone now expects us to win the Champions League annually. Thats our benchmark. But this year wont be easy. After us, City wants to prove something. Folks, prepare for a battle royale. The best of the best going head-to-head.

But I like our prospects. Our skill, expertise, and winning mindset are there. Our mastermind is Ancelotti. Folks, this season will be wild. When it's over, I think Madrid will get the trophy.

I believe that Real Madrid will remain strong even with the farewell of Toni Kroos, it is true that it will be difficult to replace him but you will see that it will not be long and the management of Real Madrid will find a valid replacement. For me Real Madrid remains the favourite team to win the next Champions League, they have many champions in the team and a coach who was born to win the Champions League

Replacing him is not something I'm seeing any difficulties with in Madrid, they have had times they played in his absence last season and they still did well so all they will have bro do at this time will be with some adjustments where they are going to see how others are going to fit in rather in the position where he's supposed to be. This isn't undermining the fact that he was a very vital and important part of the team and is even almost irreplaceable, but with Madrid I believe they have gotten to that zenith of strength where almost no players exist will really put them off balance but them been able to make adjustments.

Madrid journey in the Champions League next season is actually still full of question marks, but looking at the depth of the squad built by Florentino Perez, personally I assume Madrid chances of retaining the trophy are quite big. Losing two legendary players like Kroos and Nacho is certainly a big loss, and Ancelotti certainly has to find a solution to cover the holes they leave. Meanwhile, the recruitment of Mbappe makes Madrid front line sharper, Ancelotti next season has the right replacement for the number 9 role.

On the other hand, regarding the competition that each contestant will face in fighting for the trophy, I think it will be more competitive and fiercer, and Madrid and Man City are the top teams that are considered very worthy of being favorites. The existence of these two teams makes the other contestants chances lower, without meaning to belittle them all, but the fact is that it is. Apart from all that, Ancelotti will have a big burden on his shoulders to meet expectations, with the ideal squad he has.

That is 100% the case. All those titles Real Madrid could have gone to a different team. There is no doubt I guess that 95% of the people agree it is tiny little, sometimes lucky things that played in favor of Real Madrid. Look at Toni Kroos and how he said that Real Madrid is a force and they are almost never lucky, but so experienced and bla bla. Now what happened to Germany against Spain? Clearly a handball denied and that can destroy all the title dreams. It's little things sometimes a team can't even influence. And don't get me wrong: I like Kroos.

But indeed, to beat Real Madrid it seems like other teams also need luck, or at the same time Real Madrid gets bad luck. Because I think, maybe that's the only factor that will make Real Madrid lose and fail to get a trophy.

Because after all, I remember very well last season that it was also difficult for Real Madrid to win even though they only played against teams at a lower level in the group stage.  With the difficulties experienced by Real Madrid in the group stage, I think Real Madrid will also find it difficult to get good results in the knockout phase. But in reality, Real Madrid still managed to beat Manchester City and continued with their success in getting the trophy.

Sure, but if you take the ongoing European Championship as an example, France finished their group second behind Austria and scored only 2 goals in 3 games. They then beat Belgium due to an own goal, tied the game 0-0 against Portugal and got eliminated by Spain. But anyone wonders where Mbappe has been?

I am bringing this up because a lot of people think that Mbappe is now this final weapon that Real Madrid needed to finally be invincible, but he is just a human being like everyone else. He has his moments and he will certainly make a difference in some of the games. But these top teams can still be beaten. It will be no different in the Champions League. On paper Real Madrid looks scary, but Manchester City does, too. Some other teams look scary. There are so many players playing on the highest level possible. It is tiny things, nuances that decide whether someone wins a trophy or not.

Last season Real Madrid had huge trouble beating RB Leipzig and was only able to score against Union Berlin in extra time in the first game if I recall correctly. It is not like they are playing against kindergarten teams. It's often much closer than people would think upfront.

The European Champions League is a competition that always brings some surprise, for example it has become normal for the finals of the European Champions League to see some unusual team against some expected team, as was the case in the final involving Real Madrid against Dortmund. , no one expected that Dortmund, who were not doing well in the premier league, would reach the final of the European Champions League, previously we saw Manchester City play in the final against Inter, who were also not doing well in Serie A at that time.

This shows that it is necessary not to be too optimistic because even if a team has the best squad and the best coach, it may still not win the European champions' place. By clicking on this link we can see that there were a few years when Real Madrid were with good squad and coach but didn't win the European champions league. In my opinion, the focus next season should be La Liga first and then the European Champions League, because despite having many great teams in a disastrous situation, it is still no guarantee that they will not be able to win the real Madrid

I believe that Real Madrid will remain strong even with the farewell of Toni Kroos, it is true that it will be difficult to replace him but you will see that it will not be long and the management of Real Madrid will find a valid replacement. For me Real Madrid remains the favourite team to win the next Champions League, they have many champions in the team and a coach who was born to win the Champions League

Manchester City continues with their squad and their coach, they are still very strong, last season Manchester City only didn't reach the final because they lost against Real Madrid but it was a game in which they could have won too. Another point is that this season many big teams have new coaches who are making changes to these teams, which could create a very difficult scenario for Real Madrid in the Champions League.

There will be no significant impact with the departure of Toni Kroos. Real Madrid has many top midfielders now, Ancelotti has many options for the midfielders. Maybe the current players have different play style but their ability and skills are not very far from Toni Kroos. I am sure it won't bring big impact on the tactics or strategy applied by Ancelotti. Even, because of the current midfielders are younger, they can have better physical strength. So we don't need to feel worried about the missing of Toni Kroos in Real Madrid lineup.

No doubt that Real Madrid will be the favorite team in UCL for the next season. Moreover, Real Madrid has a sharp striker now, Mbappe. With Mbappe, we can assume that Real Madrid will be more offensive and scored more goals. They won't rely too much on Vinicius or Rodrygo anymore, they also have Mbappe as a new machine goal. Mbappe even has a better ability when it is about scoring goals.

Every day I come to the thread and Madrid is at the center of discussion and tournament hasn't even started yet. I would love to hear all of you flip your opinions when Madrid doesn't get to win the trophy for the 2024/2025 season. I'm well aware that Madrid has been on fire in the UCL in recent years (yes, they took two trophies from Liverpool in that same time period), but there's still abig possibility that they won't be winning the trophy for the next year. They only managed to win it last time because City, Bayern and even Dortmund came very close but they just missed all their chances otherwise, it would've been a different story.

Keep options open guys.

Madrid is the king of the UEFA Champions League. They are keeping the squad intact and adding the world's most classy players. Which j can make you say that there is a high possibility that they cannot win the championship next season. You should remember that last season they were not highly appreciated when their squad was still young and the central striker Karim Benzema was missing. But they can still defeat their opponents to win the championship.

In the coming years, I think they will continuously dominate the UEFA Champions League. They found the final piece of the puzzle, Kylian Mbappé. And under the reign of Carlo Ancelotti, I believe it will be difficult for any team to compete with them. I know it's impossible to predict anything in football, but I'm seeing Madrid becoming a team that's difficult to beat.

Even if Madrid would be strong and maybe probably still do well because of the qualities of players in that squad, I think ancelotti and entire squad would definitely miss the brains of one of the greatest Mysterio that have ever graced the game with his presence. Toni Kross is an absolute wonder in that Madrid midfield with almost all the passes he provides are 90% accurate and also the center to many assist resulting to goals for this Madrid squad.

Every day I come to the thread and Madrid is at the center of discussion and tournament hasn't even started yet. I would love to hear all of you flip your opinions when Madrid doesn't get to win the trophy for the 2024/2025 season. I'm well aware that Madrid has been on fire in the UCL in recent years (yes, they took two trophies from Liverpool in that same time period), but there's still abig possibility that they won't be winning the trophy for the next year. They only managed to win it last time because City, Bayern and even Dortmund came very close but they just missed all their chances otherwise, it would've been a different story.

Keep options open guys.

That's it. It seems like I'm the only non-real Madrid supporter here. Since i was a citizen, and it feels like none here is supporting my favorite club too.   Being a minority among Madrid fans.
Though Manchester City was not performing quite well last season, but they almost beat Madrid for the second time in a row. Yet, penalty made them fail to send Madrid out of the competition. But the next season is gonna be different for city.  
City is gonna beat madrid in the next season of UCL.


For me, I'll exclude Bayern Munich from UCL title contender candidate list. I rate this club quite low because Bayern is now coached by an unprofessional coach. This is also kompany's first time to coach a club that plays in the UCL. And he still needs a lot of things to be learned. I'd rather take Barcelona as a potential title contender for the UCL in the upcoming season.
The rumor is that Nico Williams is going there. And if Nico will join in barcelona, and Barcelona is likely entering a candidate as title contender. .

I predict that City and Barcelona will be title contender of UCL. They will do so more than Madrid.

I believe that Real Madrid will remain strong even with the farewell of Toni Kroos, it is true that it will be difficult to replace him but you will see that it will not be long and the management of Real Madrid will find a valid replacement. For me Real Madrid remains the favourite team to win the next Champions League, they have many champions in the team and a coach who was born to win the Champions League

It cannot be denied that Toni Kroos has made his name at Real Madrid and will not be easily forgotten even though there are players who will replace Toni Kroos in midfield.
However, time will go on, every player will definitely leave when the time comes. Moreover, Toni Kroos is reportedly still at Real Madrid, but is no longer a player, it is known that he has got a special place and got a job there. So if the coach and the Real Madrid squad miss him, they could meet him at any time only and he can still provide lessons to new Real Madrid players. He is a senior player who has a wealth of experience while still at Real Madrid.

Every day I come to the thread and Madrid is at the center of discussion and tournament hasn't even started yet.

Partially because Real Madrid is a biggest and most successful club in Champions League. The Wiki on Champions League history shows it all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League

Don't count runner-ups, let's check only champions.

Real Madrird: 15
AC Milan: 7
Bayern Munich: 6
Liverpool: 6
Barcelona: 5
Ajax: 4
Inter Milan: 3
Manchester United: 3
Juventus: 2
Chelsea: 2
Nottingham Forest: 2
Porto: 2
Some clubs with 1 title.

The history shows that Real Madrid dominates Champions League/ previously C1.
