UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Zaguru12]

We cannot also forget the fact that Bayern Munich is a great team and they are also good contenders for the champions league title every season. After Real Madrid and Manchester City have been called, Bayern Munich are the next favourite for the champions league trophy. Things might have changed for them recently but it doesn’t take away the fact that they’re also amongst the main contenders for the trophy every season. Next season is also an opportunity for them to try to win the title because even when l their performance was bad in the league games last season, they did better in the champions league.

That has been the case for the last decade where we see Bayern Munich not only dominating their league but also putting the same shift to the European biggest competition, i could remember that whenever a champions league draw is done the one team you will never want your club to face is the Bayern Munich team which can humiliate or an team and their only match then was Real Madrid. But right I can tell you that Bayern Munich wouldn’t be in the top 3 of any European competition’s favorites, in this UCL I will say even the like of Arsenal have more chance of winning than them except Vincent Kompany gets them back to where they belong.

I like the fact that Harry Kane has been delivering constantly in spite of how lucky he is without a trophy. There are players that would give up or have their performance take a heavy dip just because they haven't had anything to show for it in years of active playing time. But Harry Kane is in luck because Bayern will get to win a trophy this new season. It doesn't have to be a major trophy as long as they get to win one. That should be enough to end the Harry Kane trophy drought. For the UCL, who knows? But there's is only just a tiny probability that Bayern will win unless Kompany does something spectacular with this bayern team.

Since the raise of Harry Kane at Tottenham after his loan spell at Leicester City I will say there has not been any center striker that has been better than him, last season even without Bayern Munich winning the league or any trophy we saw the quality or say the importance that Harry Kane will bring into the team. To me missing out on numerous trophies doesn’t undermine his capabilities except people just want to throw shades. This coming season I am predicting him to get his trophy and Also taking home the champions league hugest goal scorer too

Kompany must perform well next season to challenge xabi Alonso for the Bundesliga title. Leverkusen may maintain their performance from last season and rely on Xavi Alonso to lead them to victory. I feel that when it comes to the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has the experience every season, but they did not receive hope and defeated Leverkusen last season, which will not happen again next season. I am confident that even if Munich does not win the championship, Dortmund will be the favorite to win it.

Kompany will try his best to improve Bayern performance and compete for the title. But you can't claim that Kompany or Bayern must perform well! The season isn't started yet, we don't know how Kompany will begin the new season. If Bayern can perform well in pre-season matches, it totally can't determine the performance in the league.

Sure, Xabi Alonso will be possible to maintain the performance of Leverkusen, whether he will repeat 'unbeaten' record or not. With the current squad of Leverkusen, I think Xabi Alonso still has a good chance to win again the domestic titles in this season. Anyway, it won't be easy because there must be tight competition from other teams. You're right, Dortmund also has the chance to win the titles. Dortmund looks good to build their squad, they bought some good players.

Regarding the chance to win UCL title, I am not sure if the teams in Bundesliga can win it. Bayern Munich and Dortmund just hired new coaches, new coaches sometimes get difficulty to manage the team in the first season. Meanwhile Leverkusen, they look like having no mentality to win UCL yet, I still remember how Atalanta could destroy their dream in the last UEL final.

Xavi Alonso's games are excellent, but they will most likely be defeated the following season, the other clubs will not allow this to occur. Bayern Munich are not as good in the UCL as they are in the Bundesliga, but if they enter the league and defeat Madrid, they will be serious contenders to win the UCL because Madrid is normally the favorite every season, along with Manchester City, but Madrid are more likely to win. Bayern Munich will try, but it will be difficult to win the Champions League trophy because there are experienced clubs in the competition who will easily beat them.

Real Madrid and Man City are always the candidates to win UCL. Real Madrid looks like having stronger squad, they have Mbappe now. Meanwhile Man City may try to win UCL and give the trophy for the farewell with Guardiola. Let's see which team to reach the final and win the trophy of UCL this season. I personally expect Real Madrid to win again UCL trophy, it will be the first UCL trophy for Mbappe.

After Mbappe's move to Real Madrid, Mbappe's fans must be very impatient to see their favorite player realize his desire to win the title he has always dreamed of which he has never felt before as a PSG player, actually quite bored to see Real Madrid always win the Champions League title but because this is the first season for Mbappe then I am also happy if Real Madrid presents the first trophy for Mbappe, he will definitely give his optimal contribution to the club more than when he was at PSG because when at his previous club he was a little selfish with other players while at Real Madrid he will be treated like a player in general because Real Madrid has many good players not just him.

Real Madrid and Manchester City really deserve to be candidates to win the UCL and in the domestic league their performance is always good and in the UCL their performance is always good, so it is not surprising that Manchester City and Real Madrid are always favorites for the UCL. champions and indeed last season We didn't see Manchester City advancing to the final because Manchester City lost to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals and of course through a penalty shootout because Real Madrid and Manchester City were very strong and evenly matched and of course that made the other. team advance to the final against Real Madrid.

Of course, now with Mbappe at Real Madrid, Real Madrid will definitely have a very strong strength and will definitely be stronger than the previous season and of course in the coming season, there will definitely be a fierce battle in the UCL again, namely the Manchester City match against Real Madrid. .

What I remember is that Pep has a contract until 2025. Of course, if Manchester City wins the UCL, it will certainly be a sweet memory for Pep and he will definitely train his men so that they can win many titles and will fight to the maximum. But yes, of course it will not be easy for Manchester City to beat Real Madrid in the UCL next season because Ancelotti's troops will certainly be stronger because of Mbappe. Yes, we'll see and to be honest, I also want to see Mbappe win the UCL title with Real Madrid.

This season there will be other teams that will try to play more consistently in the Champions League even though most people say Real Madrid and Man City are strong candidates. I also see that there will be other teams that are able to play until the semi-finals and there is no Man City in it. Talking about the Champions League is indeed inseparable from the experience and quality of the players owned by each team, but there are always surprises that might happen without us predicting.

Real Madrid will be much stronger because they have succeeded in bringing in Mbappe and so will several other teams who might prepare everything to face the Champions League next season. Mbappe will be a new arrival at Real Madrid and he will have to try to defend last season's title even though the competition will be much tougher.

I also want to see other teams besides the two teams you mentioned who can enter the Champions League final next season even though according to current predictions the two teams are still worthy of being called candidates because apart from both of them already having enough experience in the Champions League, both are also still handled by coaches who are able to implement player rotation within the team when facing important matches in the Champions League. In addition, even if there is another team that is able to enter the final surprisingly, it could be that one of the two teams you mentioned is a rival for the other team you mean.

It is not yet certain that Real Madrid and Manchester City will appear in the final together because if both teams are in the same pot in the knock-out round, the possibility of both of them competing earlier is very open. As happened in the previous two seasons, Real Madrid and Manchester City beat each other to advance to the final, if this scenario repeats itself, it is likely that they will face different opponents in the Final. Other teams also have a big chance of appearing in the final, like Dortmund did last season, who would have thought they could eliminate their opponents and then successfully advance to the final round.

Inter Milan also has the opportunity to appear in the final because their quality has been very good lately, Leverkusen can also be a dark horse team that is ready to surprise other teams that always play regularly in the Champions League. The increasingly competitive competition will make the chances of the top teams smaller, the tight schedule is the main reason why teams cannot perform optimally due to the excess of players. I also hope that both teams can also appear in the final because their quality is at a high level, if the scenario of last season's final repeats itself (Real Madrid vs Dortmund) it is very easy to guess who will win the Champions League.

[rendravolt]

Leverkusen's last season's Bundesliga win was more than just effort. Indeed, they gave it their all, but thats inevitable in every championship race. Leverkusens unique quality was their strategic genius under Xabi Alonso. He out-thought and moved his rivals, not only inspired his players. That is the essence of a real winner. Those who discount Leverkusen's victory as a fluke or a question of chance just do not know the game.  This was about intelligence, on and off the field, not only about vitality. Leverkusen proved to the globe they are a force to be reckoned with. They changed what it means to be a champion, not only won the Bundesliga.

That is a good expression to describe Leverkusen's situation and indeed they will be one of the scary teams in the champions league next season. All move freely because of the encouragement of Xabi Alonso and if not for that I am sure Leverkusen would not be at the level they are at. Their achievements are proof that they are very serious about challenging other strong teams and we just have to wait and see how it will happen later.

Leverkusen is also likely to be a team that is difficult to predict and with Xabi Alonso's experience who once studied with Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola, and Mourinho when he was an active player will increase the number of variations in strategy that he will show. I am grateful that Xavi Alonso remains at Leverkusen because if not we will not see him making history again with Leverkusen next season.

If Real Madrid did not clash with City early before the finals, it is possible that these two teams will play in the finals because currently, I don't see any team that is as strong as them and in a good form like they are.

However, if they clash before the finals, we will only see one of them which might be Real Madrid because they are still the favorite in UCL, and with the improvement of the attack by bringing Mbappe City will stand no chance to defeat them. I am also looking out to see the other team that will play with Real Madrid in the finals.

What about Bayern Munich?    I think they are likely to improve their performance this season. Kompany is like a dark horse for now, I know. Most people are curious about what he will do.

This is his first job at such a big team so I understand people. However with a reference by Guardiola I want to think positive about his potential. I guess he has played a good role in the recent transfers also.

I'm really sad for Kane. While he is doing his best wherever he goes, I believe he deserves to win trophies. Starting with a Champions League trophy would be amazing for him but Bayern Munich should perform many times better than last season.

To win the Bundesliga trophy I would still doubt Bayern Munich, so I really can't think Bayern Munich has a chance to win the Champions League trophy. After all, maybe for an easy trophy like the DFB Pokal which might still be possible for Bayern Munich to get it next season. So, if targeting the Champions League trophy, I believe it is very inappropriate because after all, basically Bayern Munich also has a priority to be able to dominate the Bundesliga again.

After all, Bayern Munich also does not have a very good history in the Champions League and does not have an impressive history like Real Madrid, so how can the situation of Bayern Munich like this make you think Bayern Munich has a good chance in the Champions League. It doesn't matter what factors Bayern Munich have, because I think they will prioritize avenging last season's loss to Bayer Leverkusen.

Very interesting, because in 3 seasons they always faced each other before the final, and the team that won in the match became the Champions League champions. When they face before the final is like a final match that is too early, and I think we all agreed on that. Real Madrid and Manchester City in my opinion today are the 2 best teams in mainland Europe. I don't know whether you agree or disagree with that, but this is my current view.
I waited for them to really meet in the final match, but unfortunately they were always in the same table when they entered the round of 16. Maybe this is still too early to talk about it, because currently the new Champions League is in the qualifying round. Apart from that, we will also see the new format that will be used. The most important thing is that now there are 2 teams that we are talking about now can play well in the first phase and be able to qualify for the following round without a problem.

If we look at the many posts here, the majority of us continue to assume that there will only be two favorite teams that are likely to win the Champions League next season, namely Madrid and Manchester City, and even if we remember previously there were predictions that actually gave percentages for teams other than Madrid and Manchester City only have a 1% chance of winning the Champions League next season, I think it's natural that we have many differences in favoring a team but we shouldn't underestimate other teams.

Last season, Munich and Dortmund continued to be underestimated and underrated will be able to go far in the Champions League after bad performance from both teams in the domestic league but in fact Dortmund was even able to reach the final even though they lost to Madrid in the final, in my opinion next season there will be a lot of competition from big teams to win the champions league trophy, especially with the new competition format allowing each team have many matches to gain points for qualify from the semi-league phase, So I think  all teams that will qualify for the round of 16 will be worthy of being favorites.

After Mbappe's move to Real Madrid, Mbappe's fans must be very impatient to see their favorite player realize his desire to win the title he has always dreamed of which he has never felt before as a PSG player, actually quite bored to see Real Madrid always win the Champions League title but because this is the first season for Mbappe then I am also happy if Real Madrid presents the first trophy for Mbappe, he will definitely give his optimal contribution to the club more than when he was at PSG because when at his previous club he was a little selfish with other players while at Real Madrid he will be treated like a player in general because Real Madrid has many good players not just him.

This competition has not even started, we cannot be sure whether Mbappe is able to win the title with Madrid in the Champions League. Although Real Madrid's chances are very big to defend the title, in fact the Champions League competition has not started. We all agree that Real Madrid is one of the strong teams, they have great potential to become Champions League champions again. Moreover, Madrid currently has Mbappe who can be used as a mainstay player as a goal scorer. However, we cannot be sure of Mbappe's progress with Real Madrid. It is true, Mbappe can realize his dream of winning this competition trophy, especially since Madrid is a team that has a very qualified depth of players in every line. In addition, Madrid is also a team that has a champion mentality in this competition. Unfortunately, what we are discussing here is still in opinion and assumption only, because the team that is its competitor will not necessarily let Madrid become champions again.

Likewise with Man City, one of the Premier League teams is always a strong candidate in the Champions League. It's not just about the players owned by City, but Pep Guardiola is a coach who has a myriad of tactics and strategies for his team. even if we look at the depth of these two teams if Madrid is more favored, but on the field later City cannot be underestimated. even so, no one disagrees if these two teams are always included in the candidate for the title challenger. however, it does not mean closing the possibility if another team becomes the winner in this competition.

I do not rate Vincent Kompany too much, Bayern Munich is a big club, I'm expecting him to up his performance in Bundesliga, but in the Champions League Competition? Nothing. Let's see what happens in the month of August. Not having high hopes on him truthfully.

We will see. He might have been recommended by Josep Pep Guardiola, but he is not Pep Guardiola. He will have to show working that he is capable of handling the job perfectly.

I'm also, it feels saddening to see such a top quality player without any silverware for both club and country. I'd say he was too comfortable with Tottenham Hotspur but we'll be hopeful he wins something ahead with Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich failed him last season after hee scored too many goals for them. I feel like the biggest challenge they had was defense last season.

The funny thing about the Champions League is that it's always won by one of the big teams. The winner might not be among the favourites but they are always a big team. Even when a new team wins it for the first time, they don't usually win it on their first try. They would need to have built their team over the years and be among the best teams in Europe.
When Chelsea won it for the first time they have already been regulars in Europe and even lost a final to Manchester United. Same thing for Manchester City. This shows that the Champions League is truly a league for the big boys, an underdog rarely wins it.
So when you mention teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid as favourites, you're very right because they might become the winner.

Real Madrid and Man City are always the candidates to win UCL. Real Madrid looks like having stronger squad, they have Mbappe now.

It's fantastic that so many people believe in Luis Enrique. He is an excellent coach with experience. PSG's Champions League history is not very good, though. Sure, they have a team of stars, but that hasn't been sufficient to get them over the hill. Though it can't buy you tactical knowledge or chemistry, money can buy you ability. Losing a talent like Mbappe is devastating, and it emphasizes the need of wise, strategic acquisitions. It's about finding the correct bits to finish the puzzle, not only about stuffing additional stars into the picture. Players who can carry out Luis Enrique's vision, adapt to various circumstances, and manage the pressure of the Champions League will be much sought for. Though it will be difficult, if someone can accomplish it it is Luis Enrique. Let us thus examine what he has planned.

[Velvet78]

Luis Enrique is a winner manager. Therefore I understand people who are believing in him. He won the Champions League title with Barcelona in the past you know. 

However he has a really tough job to do now. He isn't managing prime Barcelona anymore. PSG also has really talented players of course but they are still not ready enough to go for the title in this tournament. As of Mbappe's departure, we don't know how they will perform in the Champions League yet. I don't want to mean like they will be worse of course. Because it is all about having a good team play. Then not having Mbappe won't matter that much. 

[Tony116]

Kane really deserves a trophy a least because it will be bad after all his goal scoring record then he is unable to win a trophy, he has just proven his scoring ability for Bayern Munich same way he did while at Tottenham but for me if he is not able to win a trophy at Bayern this season he should consider joining other top European clubs like Manchester City, Juventus or PSG so that he can have a chance of winning a title. I just felt for the England striker because he is one player that gives his all for his team even in the just concluded UERO competition, he made a lot of impact and scored goals as well but still not able to win the tournament even after they made it to the finals.
             Vincent Kompany knows that Bayern Munich is a big team so he is already feeling the pressure and fear if he don't make things right for the club because Bayern Munich may not give him a second chance if he is not able to prove himself in the upcoming season so I understand the kind of situation he is facing now that is the reason why I was suggesting that he would have still maintained coaching lower clubs and achieve a recognized level of success before making attempts to Coach a team like Bayern Munich. The team is not in the right position to be tipped to win the UCL so I don't see any magic happening for Bayern Munich.

Man, I feel very bad for Kane. He definitely is one of the best strikers this generation has seen, and it's not on him that he hasn't won a trophy yet. He goes so close every time, innit?

I think this season will be one to watch for him. If the team does not show him good promise, he should look for a better move. Because Bayern management right now looks under pressure, they got Tuchel, sacked him, and now had to settle for Kompany. Who knows, maybe they can turn around from here. Maybe Kompany is not experienced on paper, but I think he will prove a lot of people wrong. Very interesting things to unfold.

[slapper]

There is no meaning in criticizing Harry Kane. It is even ridiculous.    What can he do more than this? He is scoring tons of goals every season. Even in his first season with Bayern Munich, he scored 44 goals and made 12 assists in 45 matches.

He is doing what a striker should do exactly. He is even doing more than that as this is a way extra performance. He is unlucky about team successes unfortunately. He even ran into a time in which Bayern Munich's long title series in the Bundesliga to be broken. I believe he will start achieving titles soon anyway. Maybe it might not happen in the Champions League but domestic titles would be claimed by his team. We are talking about the biggest team in Germany. 

It is simply pure stupidity to criticize Harry Kane for not securing championships at Bayern Munich. In 45 games, the guy scored 44 goals and had 12 assists. That is insane! Soccer is about the whole team; it is not a one-man exhibition. If the rest of the team isn't clicking, Kane cannot win the trophy by himself. And it's the team that didn't prepare it properly

Not solely Kane's responsibility; Bayern Munich has lately experienced some problems. The team has to decide on its tatics and approach as well as maybe bring in a fresh manager. One could find the solution in Vincent Kompany. He is an excellent coach; he may be the one to enable Bayern Munich to once more be glorious

Let's be nice to Kane. He is performing at world class and is doing all he can. It is the team that has to get moving to help him
