UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Mame89]

15 Champions League trophies are Madrid biggest achievement so far and it proves that they have now declared themselves to be the ruling club of Europe, If we look at the current UCL trophy achievements of madrid it might be difficult for other teams to achieve, let alone to beyond with the UCL trophy achievements owned by Madrid, currently Madrid has improved the quality of their squad to become stronger although in fact last season they had a squad that was quite capable and strong enough to compete in the La Liga and Champions League, so I would not doubt if they would also  be able to return dominate La Liga and become the favorite to win the Champions League next season, even without ruling out surprises from other teams will happen in next season.

By becoming the team with the most Champions League trophies, Real Madrid seems destined to become the True King of Europe. because in the Champions League era if Madrid has advanced to the final round they will definitely win and become champions. In other words, it can be said that Real Madrid is so tough and strong when they are in the Champions League, some even say that if they want to stop Real Madrid from winning the Champions League, they must stop Real Madrid in the round of 16 or in the semifinals because if Real Madrid is in the final they will definitely win. The trophies that Real Madrid currently has are very difficult for other teams to catch up with, it might take decades for other teams to be able to catch up with Real Madrid's UCL trophy. Looking at the squad that Real Madrid currently has, especially with the entry of Mbappe into the Real Madrid squad, Real Madrid's chances of adding to their UCL league trophy collection are very big next season.

The closest match to show Madrid true quality is when they face Atlanta in the Uefa Super Cup later, to be honest I am really waiting for that match to be played and see how their performance will have a positive or negative impact after Mbappe arrival now.

Although Real Madrid's performance in pre-season was less than satisfactory, I think Real Madrid will win when they face Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup. The reason is, Realmadrid is predicted to field a full squad including Mbappe when playing against Atalanta. So, in this match I will bet that Real Madrid will win.

The Real Madrid is currently enjoying their glory time in the history of Champions League competition since after that Zinedine Zidane broke that record of wining the champions league trophy back to back which no other team has ever done since its history, well it a matter of time, I believe we will still have another team that will spring up in the future and Madrid won't even be able to stand them. if you could from the season of 2008 down to 2013 season, Real Madrid was out of the picture and had no place but Manchester united and Barcelona became dominant team in the Champions League as of that time ,but today the story has changed. Real Madrid won't become the champions league king forever.

[Raflesia]

When it comes to the champions league, the prowess of Manchester city and Real Madrid has always been outstanding such that it cannot and never be undermined hence its almost very normal to think and talk about them firstly before trying to think about others in the league who are anticipated to be in the title race, and this forme doesn't in any way undermine the ability of others who are aswell in the race as they too can get on with brilliant performance and it becomes a stance for the other team to get on their feet as the title race will become even more tough than they would have taught.

Because in the end these two clubs have always been the initial benchmark for the Champions League in the current era. They have the advantage in terms of finances, players, coaches and of course the experience that makes them always highlighted greater in terms of probability.
Moreover, in the last few seasons they always meet and always become a benchmark when one of them loses then the winner will become the champion.
2 seasons ago Manchester City won convincingly and made them win the trophy for the first time this time and in the season that ended some time ago Madrid won and of course they won the trophy.

This season could also be the same even though there is a new format that makes their schedule denser but the benchmark for who will win will definitely remain in Madrid or Manchester City as the initial benchmark.

But today the story has changed? which story has changed, mate? nothing has changed until now, Real Madrid is still & will continue to be king in the UCL, they have a legacy there that makes other teams mentally attacked. Look how they will get their first title in the next season, they will play against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup & of course they will win easily.

[Dzwaafu11]

I expect a title challenge among Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich this season. But more like a Real Madrid - Manchester City fight depending on how much Bayern Munich will progress. They have a new manager, Kompany. There is still a week for the new season to start for them. We don't have any idea about what Kompany can do with a big team yet.

Bur for Kane's sake, I want to see them in this race. He is the player with the highest effort in the squad. Wouldn't it be great to see Kane starting to win trophies with a Champions League one? 

Why did you exempt Bayer Leverkusen, Inter Milan, and Arsenal; are they not capable enough or they don't have good squad to be among the title challenge next season? I forget to add Barcelona as well.
Underrating these teams is not proper because we have seen how they performed well last season especially Arsenal and Leverkusen who did well in their respective domestic leagues.

These teams can give us some surprising performances in the Champions League next season.

These two teams you are seeing, which are Manchester City and Real Madrid, seem very ready for the Champions League competition next season because at this point Manchester City will want to be the champion of the next season and the same thing Real Madrid will want to repeat history again, so the coming season is going to be hot and interesting to watch, but right now we can't talk about who is going to be champions since we are still yet to see how their performance will be next season till the season and start we see how they perform.

~~ but today the story has changed. Real Madrid won't become the champions league king forever.

But today the story has changed? which story has changed, mate? nothing has changed until now, Real Madrid is still & will continue to be king in the UCL, they have a legacy there that makes other teams mentally attacked. Look how they will get their first title in the next season, they will play against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup & of course they will win easily.

I also feel confused with his statement.  
We know Real Madrid may not win UCL trophy every season, however it doesn't ruin their status as the King of UCL. Winning 15 UCL trophies and they are unbeatable in the last 9 UCL finals. I think this records will be very difficult to be broke by other teams.

Agree. Whatever the reason, Real Madrid is still the king of UCL. The winning mentality is something special with Real Madrid. We may have many other strong teams, but Real Madrid is still a better team if we consider the mentality of the team. This is surely the main factor why other teams are difficult to beat them when it is in the final UCL.

By the way, there is no guarantee Real Madrid will beat Atalanta. However, I can agree that Real Madrid is very possible to win their first trophy with Mbappe. Real Madrid squad looks better, but we shouldn't underestimate Atalanta. We don't forget that they ever defeated Leverkusen as a favorite team to win Europa league trophy last season.

If we consider the squad of both teams, Real Madrid looks like more ready to be the champion. Real Madrid could beat Man City in the last season, it was Real Madrid has no strong striker. Now, with Mbappe, Real Madrid should be easier to win against Man City and other teams in UCL. However, it is just a theory, the reality may be different. We only can guess now, but it is just based on our opinion.

If you look at the current squad of Atalanta, they are no longer as strong as the last season. Some key players left the club already. I think Real Madrid will have no difficulty to beat them. Even if Atalanta can't be underestimated and they ever beat Leverkusen, Atalanta team is different now. Considering the current condition of the team, I bet 99% the chance of Real Madrid to win the match.

Bur for Kane's sake, I want to see them in this race. He is the player with the highest effort in the squad. Wouldn't it be great to see Kane starting to win trophies with a Champions League one? 

I also predict that Bayern, Manchester City and Real Madrid will definitely have the potential to become teams that are difficult to beat and of course there is the potential for these 3 teams to have great potential to fight for the title in the UCL next season and indeed if you look at the UCL season which has just ended of course we will see how strong he is but unfortunately in the semifinals Bayern were unable to beat Ancelotti's troops which in the end in the second match had to end in a penalty shootout and in the end Bayern lost. and what is certain is that in the coming season Bayern will definitely have great potential to improve its performance.  
and of course we will see what Vincent Kompany will do in making his strategy and efforts to make Bayern better in the coming season.

Of course, Manchester City's fate was the same in the UCL season that just ended like Bayern where Pep's troops lost in the penalty shootout and ultimately made Real Madrid continue to advance to the top. and of course in the upcoming UCL, Manchester City will also want to correct their mistakes in the season that has just ended so that they don't make any more mistakes when competing in the UCL later.

Last season, of course, Real Madrid was without Mbappe, but this season, Mbappe is defending Real Madrid and what is certain is that Real Madrid will have the potential to be difficult to beat, but what is certain is that all clubs will definitely try their best to win the match and of course I also see that Dortmund will definitely want to compete again. with Real Madrid and of course wants to feel the sensation of advancing to the final again.

Harry Kane is a good player and it would be great if he won a trophy in the UCL because he hasn't won a trophy so far, so we'll see, but what is certain is that Harry Kane fans will definitely miss him winning a trophy.

Real Madrid won't become the champions league king forever.

In fact since the Champions League was founded in 1955 until now, no club has surpassed Real Madrid, no club has even won more than half of the trophies won by Real Madrid, we do not know what the future will be like, indeed big clubs will not always be strong, there are times when they will have difficulties and Real Madrid also experienced times of difficulty in the year you mentioned where Barcelona and Manchester United dominated the Champions League for several seasons but they also did not last long and now we even know that Manchester United even had difficulty competing in the Champions League as well as Barcelona who financial difficulties. But no matter how difficult it is for Real Madrid, they have still been able to stabilize their condition as best they can until now and not get too caught up in difficulties, even from season to season, Real Madrid is currently better and their finances are the healthiest among other elite clubs in Europe.

Mate! story has changed in the sense that way back as of 2008 -2013 not in terms of number of trophies won but their presence at the final game, and until 2014 when Madrid lifted another champions league trophy and the number of trophies has skyrocketed as they have made several appearances at the final after these period Man Utd and Barcelona were reigning, Madrid are now the dominanting club from that 2014 down here and now no one is hearing of Barcelona and Manchester united as it were those seasons I made mention of, so what does that tell you, it tells you that a time would come when we will be talking of another club dominating the EUFA Champions League regardless of Madrid right now having the highest number of champions league trophy won.

I agree with you friends.
Real Madrid has always been the King of UCL whenever it is even though there will be another club that beat Real Madrid but still the whole world knows who the holders of the Champions League are the most champions and without us observing more in everyone knows how Real Madrid continues to maintain their performance every season by recruiting players by recruiting players Which is always right to fill the empty place that has been left behind by players who have left.
As now Real Madrid has never failed to recruit the right players like Mbappe and some young players and that is one of Real Madrid's ways to maintain its performance to remain a strong club in La Liga and UCL.
I do not understand sometimes certain people judge if Real Madrid can be defeated in the period of bringing in terms of getting the most degree while financially this club always has stable finances and can always get the players they want.

If you look at the current squad of Atalanta, they are no longer as strong as the last season. Some key players left the club already. I think Real Madrid will have no difficulty to beat them. Even if Atalanta can't be underestimated and they ever beat Leverkusen, Atalanta team is different now. Considering the current condition of the team, I bet 99% the chance of Real Madrid to win the match.

In this case, you just need to bet on Real. At the moment, bookmakers are giving odds of 1.48 for them to win in regular time. Quite generous (if you believe in the 99% probability that Real will win). In fact, I also think that Real will win, but I am not so sure because despite the fact that this is a game for the title, no one will specially prepare the team for it (peak form) because there is a whole season ahead, which is more valuable.

He may think that Real Madrid will not always be at the top, I agree with that thought, about a triumph there will definitely be a collapse in the future although we do not know how long it will happen, but for now I agree with you that Real Madrid will definitely become champions again, especially the situation and the condition of the team is getting better to challenge various champions league teams, even getting a treble winner can be a possible speculation for Real Madrid to achieve this season, it could make new history or repeat it.

[Hanadawa]

Although Real Madrid's performance in pre-season was less than satisfactory, I think Real Madrid will win when they face Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup. The reason is, Realmadrid is predicted to field a full squad including Mbappe when playing against Atalanta. So, in this match I will bet that Real Madrid will win.

I don't think anyone will take the preseason match as a reference. A top team like Real Madrid will not possibly field their best squad in a preseason match. The reason is they don't have any motivation to win the match. Real Madrid has an important match against Atalanta and there we will see Madrid who will play with their first squad. Yes I also favor Real Madrid to win that match.

-snip-

Real Madrid will not always dominate and I agree with you. But for now if you look at the Real Madrid squad for the 2024/2025 season I think no one doubts their strength to win the UCL this season. I think among the best teams last season Real Madrid has the best squad this season. Mbappe will have a significant impact on Real Madrid's performance. Trust me.

In the champions league, the competition use to provide a lot of entertaining and exciting matches. No team that gets there will want to perform less and they are always in their best form using their best players in the team in order to stand at a competitive advantage with others in the competition. Manchester City and Real Madrid may still be the bets for the Champions League title, but they shouldn’t be surprised if some other teams give them tough time to qualify or even eliminate them from the competition. The competition is highly competitive and you can’t get to tell what the performance of your opponent can be best, so you’ve to be super ready and prepare to face the worse in the competition.

The Real Madrid is currently enjoying their glory time in the history of Champions League competition since after that Zinedine Zidane broke that record of wining the champions league trophy back to back which no other team has ever done since its history, well it a matter of time, I believe we will still have another team that will spring up in the future and Madrid won't even be able to stand them. if you could from the season of 2008 down to 2013 season, Real Madrid was out of the picture and had no place but Manchester united and Barcelona became dominant team in the Champions League as of that time ,but today the story has changed. Real Madrid won't become the champions league king forever.

Every team have their own time and when it’s your time you should try and make good use of it because it’s not going to last forever. I remember the era of Zenidine Zidane when Real Madrid were beats and the best in the champions league. Those records are those that cannot be forgotten so easily. They are good use of that period and many of the players were able to win more trophies and add to their records in their football career. Agreed that Real Madrid won’t be the king of the champions league forever but a team has to be well prepared and super capable in order to defeat Real Madrid in the champions league.

[Egii Nna]

The Real Madrid is currently enjoying their glory time in the history of Champions League competition since after that Zinedine Zidane broke that record of wining the champions league trophy back to back which no other team has ever done since its history, well it a matter of time, I believe we will still have another team that will spring up in the future and Madrid won't even be able to stand them. if you could from the season of 2008 down to 2013 season, Real Madrid was out of the picture and had no place but Manchester united and Barcelona became dominant team in the Champions League as of that time ,but today the story has changed. Real Madrid won't become the champions league king forever.

I don’t think Real Madrid will be out of the picture any time soon, even though we know that things can happen. But I don’t think it will be very soon because the strength that Real Madrid are maintaining now will be very hard to easily overcome by any team, or even think of them losing the trophy. I can say that the upcoming trophy will still belong to them. I know many will think that it will hardly happen, but their performance has already identified that so many things are expected to happen. 
 
But I know in any success there will be a challenge, and seeing Real Madrid will be able to overcome all the challenges that they will have from other teams, but that will not stop them from achieving their main goals, and we still have to believe they will overcome everything.

If we consider the squad of both teams, Real Madrid looks like more ready to be the champion. Real Madrid could beat Man City in the last season, it was Real Madrid has no strong striker. Now, with Mbappe, Real Madrid should be easier to win against Man City and other teams in UCL. However, it is just a theory, the reality may be different. We only can guess now, but it is just based on our opinion.

Yeah. Mbappe's presence in Real Madrid will make the squad stronger. The Champions League will be tough next season, no doubt, because Manchester City will want to do everything possible to see that they bring Real Madrid down, and it will be a difficult thing for them. Before, we always thought there was no team that could be a challenge for Manchester City, but right now Real Madrid seems stronger than them in the Champions League, so let's wait and witness all the predictions made about these two clubs.

By the way, there is no guarantee Real Madrid will beat Atalanta. However, I can agree that Real Madrid is very possible to win their first trophy with Mbappe. Real Madrid squad looks better, but we shouldn't underestimate Atalanta. We don't forget that they ever defeated Leverkusen as a favorite team to win Europa league trophy last season.

This is football and anything can happen, but Atlanta is not that strong to defeat Real Madrid; they defeat Bayern Leverkusen. We all know that, but Bayern Leverkusen are no strong like Real Madrid, so definitely I'm expecting Real Madrid to win Atlanta; they are far better than Atlanta. Currently, the presence of Mbappe makes them look more strong. I'm expecting Real Madrid to be an unbeatable team this coming season the same way Bayern Leverkusen did in the Bundesliga.

[Inwestour]

These two teams you are seeing, which are Manchester City and Real Madrid, seem very ready for the Champions League competition next season because at this point Manchester City will want to be the champion of the next season and the same thing Real Madrid will want to repeat history again, so the coming season is going to be hot and interesting to watch, but right now we can't talk about who is going to be champions since we are still yet to see how their performance will be next season till the season and start we see how they perform.

I also really liked how Bayern played, they were definitely not worse than Real, and in some moments even better, and Real was able to win with the help of the referees, so you shouldn't reduce the entire confrontation in the Champions League to just these two teams. I would also add Barcelona and PSG to them, maybe they are not obvious contenders, but I think that they can also go quite far. But these are preliminary assumptions, it is too early to draw any conclusions, because the group stage has not even begun.

[boltz]

If you look at the current squad of Atalanta, they are no longer as strong as the last season. Some key players left the club already. I think Real Madrid will have no difficulty to beat them. Even if Atalanta can't be underestimated and they ever beat Leverkusen, Atalanta team is different now.

In fact, I also think that Real will win, but I am not so sure because despite the fact that this is a game for the title, no one will specially prepare the team for it (peak form) because there is a whole season ahead, which is more valuable.

I think skipping this game should be the best decision. It's really hard to bet in Real Madrid before start of the season ( they also had a lot of players for Euro and Copa America ) as some players are still a bit tired and as far as I know Ancelotti is currently implementing a new formula for Real Madrid which might take while until it goes in full power and that takes time for players to develop this new style. On the other side , we have a full rested Atalanta squad who should be in better shape than Real and maybe with a bit of luck they can win Euro super cup on 14th August. 

[slapper]

I expect a title challenge among Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich this season. But more like a Real Madrid - Manchester City fight depending on how much Bayern Munich will progress. They have a new manager, Kompany. There is still a week for the new season to start for them. We don't have any idea about what Kompany can do with a big team yet.

Bur for Kane's sake, I want to see them in this race. He is the player with the highest effort in the squad. Wouldn't it be great to see Kane starting to win trophies with a Champions League one? 

Why did you exempt Bayer Leverkusen, Inter Milan, and Arsenal; are they not capable enough or they don't have good squad to be among the title challenge next season? I forget to add Barcelona as well.
Underrating these teams is not proper because we have seen how they performed well last season especially Arsenal and Leverkusen who did well in their respective domestic leagues.

These teams can give us some surprising performances in the Champions League next season.

When it comes to the champions league, the prowess of Manchester city and Real Madrid has always been outstanding such that it cannot and never be undermined hence its almost very normal to think and talk about them firstly before trying to think about others in the league who are anticipated to be in the title race, and this forme doesn't in any way undermine the ability of others who are aswell in the race as they too can get on with brilliant performance and it becomes a stance for the other team to get on their feet as the title race will become even more tough than they would have taught.

Real Madrid and Manchester City dominate the Champions League. The teams to beat are consistent and dominant. This new, crammed schedule changes everything. Even top teams fail. Smaller clubs adapt and learn. They won't passively accept. The giants' armor cracks will be exploited. We may see upsets, surprising runs, and a new champion from the chaos

No longer is it about who's the best, but who's brightest, most resilient, and can handle the pressure. Champions League will become more exciting
