UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[TelolettOm]

The new format will make the Championship league much more exciting. It will really be like a league in this format and even 1 point will be vital for the teams. I liked this new format but yes, the small teams had a chance to get out of the groups of four but the chances are quite low in the matches that will be played in a league system. Still, it is certain that we will see enjoyable matches. I am excitedly waiting for the new format

You may think it will be exciting, but other people think it is less of interesting. Yes, the first phase is league phase, I think it is actually not so different with a group stage. But too many teams in league phase makes it to have more matches, I personally think this is not good for the players. Every team will have less time to prepare their players, I think it will make many players to play not in their best condition. Sure, this will be a challenge for every team, but it won't be good for the players' condition. I suspect there will be more players to experience injury with a very busy agenda in UCL matches.

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.

I agree about only Leverkusen and Inter. Especially if Leverkusen maintain their performance this season also, they are a surprise candidate for the trophy I think.    For Inter, I can say they were wonderful in the Serie A last season. A smooth performance. You would remember they were a finalist in the Champions League 2 seasons ago too. They can also be unpredictable.

But for Arsenal and Barcelona, I don't think so. Arsenal are stumbling here because of focusing mainly on winning a PL title. We saw it last season. When it comes to Barcelona, I think they have less chance considering their situation lately.  

Arsenal is out of the game among those clubs that can surprise us in the Champions League because they don't always go far in this league from onset and that is why I am ruling them out. Barcelona can try their best but their squad is not very strong for one to put hope on them.

Leverkusen did excellently in their domestic league does not mean that they will be able to win UCL when last season that they were in their best performance, they were unable to win Atalanta in Europa finals. This is why I doubt whatever magic that they will do, champions league is not for clubs that came from Europa.

I was hoping you were going to say that Bayern Leverkusen are going to be the next big club that will be a strong competitor in the UCL this season. They had a good performance in the Bundesliga doesn't mean that they will be able to win the UCL. I watched their performance against Arsenal in the friendly games and I noticed that they are not as strong as they were last season. And if they remain like this i won't be surprised that Bayern Munich will seize the opportunity to win the Bundesliga.

I am welcoming Bayern Leverkusen to the UCL. And i am promising that they won't make it to the semi-final or quarter-final of the tournament. At least having the experience and qualifying to the UCL is worth it.

History is not something new to Real Madrid because they are use to making history. They made history this past season by winning UCL 15 times and they have also won UCL back to back, meaning Real Madrid is history themselves.

The team has a wonderful combination of world class players which are still young and desperate to create records for themselves. The old players in terms of age in Real Madrid are leaving gradually and soon the squad will be of young and vibrant players which will serve the club for a long period of time before they will leave.

History is what they do, if it were the case that all the Champions League trophies they won were long before the present, we might be talking about this team's past history. But when they embark on a new season, that's where they succeed and that's where they make history. Real Madrid alone have won 15 Champions League titles, while all other teams' UCL titles combined may not equal 15 Champions League titles. They have done this in the past, they are doing this consistently now and I believe they will continue to improve in the future.

If we only talk about next season's Champions League, I can't put any other team ahead of Real Madrid as they are expected to win their 16th UCL title with the proportion of the team they have formed.

Real Madrid is a fairly consistent club from the past until now they have created their own history as the best club in the world and won many domestic trophies and also international trophies so they are no longer in doubt if in the end they will win the Champions League trophy for the 16th time because they have the best squad at the moment with a strong mentality especially with the arrival of Mbappe will make this club more confident to do everything with their current coach Carlo Anceloti.
I no longer see Manchester City or Bayern Munich as challengers for Real Madrid next season even though these clubs have always been strong candidates in the UCL for years but for Real Madrid I have full hope for this club.

There have been some seasons that Real Madrid have performed poorly in La Liga and finished second and third in the points table but won the Champions League. What could be the reason behind Real Madrid doing so well in the Champions League is still a mystery. It is doubtful whether any other club will be so successful in the future. Real Madrid has been consistent so far and they are one of the favorites in the upcoming Champions League season as well and if nothing untoward happens then Real Madrid are most likely to win the title next season. Betting on Real Madrid in Champions League matches is always less risky for your money as most of the matches tend to go in favor of Real Madrid.

From all your statements I agree but for your opinion on the last few lines I strongly disagree if you say Manchester City is no longer a strong contender in the UCL.
Now you have to look deeper whether Man City made many changes?
No, that was not done by Pep Guardiola because the club currently has great players and you also have to remember that Haaland is still a reliable player and is able to compete with Mbappe who is very much relied on by Real Madrid.
After that you also have to see how the Man City players managed to win the UCL title with the same players as today and that means it is still a contender that will make it difficult for Real Madrid in the champions league later.

It is still very doubtful that Bayern Leverkusen will become a big club as the strongest competitor in the Champions League. They performed well in the Bundesliga, but there is no guarantee that next season they will return to playing consistently and remain as champions in the Bundesliga. Especially if we talk about competition in the Champions League which is much more competitive and Man City, which is considered strong, could lose the opportunity to qualify for the semifinals and conversely the team that is not seeded will succeed in advancing to the final.

Even though we cannot underestimate Bayern Leverkusen's ability, if we look at the quality of players and experience, I agree that they will have a very difficult time getting to the quarter-finals or semi-finals next season in the Champions League. The competition in the Champions League is much tougher because there are many strong teams from various representatives and maybe it is not yet time for Xabi Alonso's men to go far there.

Bayern Leverkusen have signed any top qualities players for participating in UEFA Champion League and I don't sure they will face for the first participants after absent last two consecutives season. Xabi Alonso have showed his tactician last season when Bayern Leverkusen success get unbeaten in domestic league and impressive performance only one loss at UEFA Europe League final match against Atalanta. The management of Bayern Leverkusen have prepare with solid team and fully support for Xabi Alonso signed any top players for anticipating busy schedule matches next season in Champion League and domestic league.

New format seems more helpful for Bayern Leverkusen because league format get easily than old format each group filled by four teams and only qualified two top standings team each group. I don't think difficult for Bayern Leverkusen secure the top sixth standings in UEFA Champion  League new format get qualified to knock out round.

Leverkusen's main strength is that they have a talented coach like Xabi Alonso. With the help of Alonso, we saw such great performances from Leverkusen last season. The Leverkusen squad was not very strong last season. Even then, the bonding between the players was very strong. Due to the good chemistry between the players, the Leverkusen team was able to remain unbeaten in the Bundesliga last season. Also the players were very confident.

It will be difficult for Leverkusen to perform well next season. But since Leverkusen has a coach as talented as Alonso. So we can expect a better performance from Leverkusen. But Leverkusen's players need to work harder. Leverkusen's players are quite talented. If the players are confident and work hard, they can do well in the next season as well.

You may think it will be exciting, but other people think it is less of interesting. Yes, the first phase is league phase, I think it is actually not so different with a group stage. But too many teams in league phase makes it to have more matches, I personally think this is not good for the players. Every team will have less time to prepare their players, I think it will make many players to play not in their best condition. Sure, this will be a challenge for every team, but it won't be good for the players' condition. I suspect there will be more players to experience injury with a very busy agenda in UCL matches.

What distinguishes it now from the previous format is only the appearance and number of matches, because previously the participating clubs were put into several containers (groups) but now they are all united in one place even though not all meet each other and the other difference is only the number of matches is much more than before. Apart from that, everything remains the same where they have to compete in 2 legs and must try their best to qualify for the last 16.

Interesting and not all depends on comfort but I personally actually like this new rule if UEFA provides an event that is not too close to other competitions. currently there are many matches that we will see of course this is very good but on the other hand I hope the organizers do not force it too much with a tight schedule because the important competition is not only the Champions League.
