UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Weawant]

Congratulations to Real Madrid, it's still weird to see Mbappe in Real Madrid since whenever I hear "Mbappe" my mind always think he's a PSG player.

Congratulations to Real Madrid and congratulations to Kylan Mbappe. For Real Madrid, this UEFA Super Cup trophy is not the first, although for Kylan Mbappe this is the first with Real Madrid.

Starting off the season winning a trophy is the best thing that can ever happen to a club, it literally means a whole lot and will have great impact on their psychology boost which will aswell help them a whole lot to get their performance this season at a very good level such that they are going to make sure they do all their best to getting the champion's league trophy especially as they have mbappe who's o determined and cannot wait to lift his first champions league trophy title.

Real Madrid is by far the best team for UCL this year, if it's too early to say this, they have the best squad in history right now, it feels very good to watch them, we are talking about a team that plays a game almost without making mistakes. Mbappe did not surprise me by scoring a goal in his first game, I was sure he would and he did.

I am already curious about how many goals he will score this season, he will do what he wants with the solid passer and playmakers behind him.

Expectations are high for Mbappe. I am sure he will experience a lot of goal celebrations in La Liga. There are many players in the back who will feed him. I think Mbappe can finish the season with close to 30 goals after these players feed him well. I congratulate President Perez for crowning the great squad in Real Madrid with the best. Mbappe will play exceptionally in this team.

We have so many great players who will feed him easily. Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vini, and Valverde are on another level at passing. Also, Mbappé's skill is far above the average striker. No doubt if many Madridistas would have big expectations toward him. I think we're gonna see Mbappé lift lots of trophies with Real Madrid.

Mbappe has been exceptionally good on his debut in the Super Cup. One goal, first match, and first trophy in Real Madrid. This is something that he never experienced in his previous club. I hope Mbappe can make 30 goals his minimum goals this season.

Expect him to close with Messi's or Ronaldo's record in La liga.

Actually, I am also happy for Real Madrid, but more for MBAP because the first game that he played for Real Madrid was the game that he scored the second goal for their victory to win the trophy. It was a very amazing time for him, and he will fit in to enjoy playing for Real Madrid because he has already played for PSG, and now he is here to add more strength to Real Madrid to achieve any of the trophy they have the aim to get. Without doubt, they will be more than we have expected them to be and will make us happy this season. I have believe in Real Madrid.

If we look at his goal, Mbappe to Real Madrid is not just about one trophy, but more about many trophies because he himself knows that Real Madrid has enough strength to hope for that which has been proven through the 2024 UEFA Super Cup. And for the next target is the La Liga trophy accompanied by the Copa Del Rey trophy and also a trophy that is quite prestigious, namely the Champions League trophy which during his time defending PSG Mbappe has never lifted the trophy, but he could get it through Real Madrid.

Mbappe wasn't recognized in the first half, but he seized his opportunity when it came, that's a nice quality for any striker.

The reason why it felt as though he wasn't even on the field in the first half was that he wasn't allowed to play on his traditional position, which is the left wing.. Carlo wasn't even prepared to play without Vinicius jrn or Rodrygo on either side of the wing so, mbappe had to struggle a little bit in that position, having only Bellingham to make circulatory passes to and fro
If you can recall from what angle the assist came from and at what point he was able to strike the ball just in time to hit the net, you'll understand that he's best on the left wing...^{[the same position Christiano Ronaldo played during his prime]}

However, the Italians played well, especially Lookman. Everyone commends his brilliant moves and choice of play. But his nice passes were misused by those he assists.

Lookman isn't an Italian.. just incase you forgot. Zappacoasta was a big flop on the right wing.. he made zero pass attempt and got substituted at the dying minute. However, Baker came in at the wrong time but, was still effective to create 6 counter challenges against Madrid.

[minairia3]

Yeah, Atalanta did well with their man marking for 60 minutes. But their consistency fell a lot after that. Atalanta's players can always use man-on-man marking till 90 min. And it helps Real Madrid easily get free space in the second half. And as i expected, Atalanta's players would be exhausted, and it happened after 60+. Their intense mark for a Real Madrid player took a toll on them. But the quality is the main difference here, and Real Madrid beats them with a clean sheet.

Also, Mbappe's goal showed his quick adaptation to Ancelotti's formation and his teammates. The way he anticipated open space, moved fast and shot with his body open. This shows he's confident as a part of Madrid. No doubt people called him one of GOAT.

So true. I personally expected to see Atalanta in great shape and to be a rested team but it was nothing like this and we saw a Real Madrid still having the hunger for perfomance and hunting trophies. It was also clear that Atalanta needs some fresh transfers , especially in attack where they lacked consistence and vision.

Overall , I'm a bit happy for Mbappe because he scored his first goal but I'm also happy for him because he finally won an important trophy for him ( besides World Cup ) and I'm sure he really wants to be UCL champion with Real Madrid.  

To be honest I think Atalanta did well in the first half. But I think Real Madrid was also trying to figure out their tactics in the first half, and when the 2nd half came, they showed their true strength of attack. Valverde scored in the 59th minute and Mbappe scored a few minutes later. To be honest Real Madrid is looking very strong this season. Their Defense is strong but its depth is low. In midfield and in forward the depth is quite good. They need to increase their depth now that Nacho Fernandez has left. And to me, Alaba has never been a good center-back. Militao is also injury prone very recently. They must increase defense width.

Look at Mbappe's face which is very happy when lifting his first trophy with Real Madrid, he must be impatient to lift many titles that he will achieve with the club, especially to achieve the Champions League title that he has dreamed of for a long time, hopefully he will continue to play with Real Madrid without experiencing bad things in his first season because I am very excited to see Mbappe's debut at this club which will make Real Madrid's appearance perfect filled with the best players which will make a breakthrough the competition in prestigious competitions.

Atalanta thought they could bring up a shocking defeats to Real Madrid, ofcourse the La Liga giant are not Bayer Leverkusen that throw everything away when they failed to win Atalanta in the europa league final last season. Real Madrid are far weigh better than Atalanta when it comes to playing crucial league finals. Los Blancos have the experience and the necessary players to withstand pressure, they're in the footage of becoming the best players in the whole lot European football. Carlo Ancelotti is happy to handled such a competitive club, they're blessed with hardworking players which on the other hand are very consistent in their stellar performance.

You don't think the need more player for the next seasons competition. Because i can only see them winning the La Liga and not the Champions League. We shouldn't keep our hopes so high because Mbape is added to the squad.  I think they have good strikers right now and midfielders, but they do not have enough substitutes for their defenders. If there are any injury to one of their defenders, they will go through some difficult times. Dont forget they have so much competition they are in which is why they have to be careful.

There is nothing to wait for and see. La Liga belongs to Real Madrid its just obvious and everyone can see it.

While I do agree that they are the best team in the world, I still think that they will eventually need players for defense, and of course they will need to start thinking about goalkeeper too. While I agree that Militao and Rudiger and Carvajal are great players, only Militao is 26 years old, Rudiger is 31, and Carvajal is 32 years old, which means that while they are fine for now, they will be need to replaced eventually.

Plus Courtois is 32 as well, so while he is amazing as we can see, he will be replaced eventually as well. So that's at least three players that needs replacement in the next three seasons at most, and you can't expect amazing results from a player that comes in on their first season, so they should maybe start thinking about replacement very soon, so those players could start taking some time already, like cup games and unimportant easy league games etc, would make it better. That's why I believe it is going to be very good in the end.

I didn't think and likewise did I expect anyone to think that Atlanta will win Real Madrid in the Super cup finals. I mean, for Atlanta to give Bayern Leverkusen a surprising defeat in the Europa league finals doesn't automatically make them super team to beat Real Madrid who even recently re-enforced their squad.

Talking about squad depth, I don't think Real Madrid should bother themselves about anything again because a team cannot be 100% balanced. It is either your strength is attack or defence. In the case of Real Madrid, their strength is attack, so the defence is good.

Perhaps the biggest reason for Mbappe to come to Real Madrid is to win the Champions League. It was ridiculous that one of the most talented footballers in the world was not playing in the best team in the world, now he has come to where he needs to be.
Real Madrid is already the biggest candidate to be the Champions League champion, everyone wants to play in this team. We are in a season where Mbappe needs to win all the trophies he can

So far he has fulfilled his dream of playing for his favorite club as a child and not long after he was at Madrid, Mbappe has won a trophy which will clearly be very difficult for him to get if he continues with PSG,  If you look at Mbappe goals and ambitions so far, of course the trophy champions league was his main goal in moving to Madrid, because if he wanted popularity, wealth and domestic trophies  would definitely he get all of that at PSG but instead he was willing to cut his salary just to join Madrid at this time, despite all the existing reasons of course Mbappe is already at the best club in the world and we just need to count and see how big his achievements with Madrid will be.

[OcTradism]

He has not only chance to play for a club he loves but also has opportunity to lift UEFA Super Cup which was impossible for him to lift with PSG and many years with that club. It's good official start for Mbappe in Real Madrid, a goal and a trophy and onward he will move with bigger targets in this season.

If you look at Mbappe goals and ambitions so far, of course the trophy champions league was his main goal in moving to Madrid, because if he wanted popularity, wealth and domestic trophies  would definitely he get all of that at PSG but instead he was willing to cut his salary just to join Madrid at this time, despite all the existing reasons of course Mbappe is already at the best club in the world and we just need to count and see how big his achievements with Madrid will be.

Mbappe is an ambitious player and he will aim at multiple titles in this season including La Liga and Champions League and if possible Coppa del Rey as well but the last trophy is not his main concern. La Liga is a great title but Mbappe will pay most of his focus on Champions League that was out of his reachable hands recent years with PSG.

Perhaps the biggest reason for Mbappe to come to Real Madrid is to win the Champions League. It was ridiculous that one of the most talented footballers in the world was not playing in the best team in the world, now he has come to where he needs to be.

It's unnecessary to say perhaps because Mbappe emphasized Champions League is a title he wanted to lift in many contract negotiation with PSG year by year. Real Madrid win many Champions League titles and this club has many players who won Ballon d'Or that is another title wanted by Mbappe.

It seems to me that given that Real has won all these titles in recent years without Mbappe quite easily, Mbappe has a more difficult task than simply winning titles (even the most prestigious ones) with Real. He needs to make a contribution to the team's success that would make him stand out from the rest, to rise to or surpass Ronaldo's level. Otherwise, people will troll him by saying that his titles are more a consequence of the fact that he moved to Real than that he is truly worthy of them.

it's much easier for mbappe to win the championship and trophies we still haven't reached the point where there is an antagonist like in the ronaldo era, let's say that there was a certain messi who was there and won and also greatly stimulating everyone to grow while Now there's only Real Madrid, it's easy to win like that!

[Hanadawa]

We thought Mbappe would need a few matches to adapt to the Madrid squad. But Mbappe is a great player, and Madrid coach Ancelotti is very experienced. So Mbappe has been able to adapt himself to this team very easily. The way Mbappe performed against Atalanta was absolutely commendable.

Mbappe's performance in the European Super Cup was truly extraordinary. After playing badly in the first half, Mbappe finally found his rhythm with Real Madrid in the second half and finally scored a goal. In that match, I think Mbappe was really pressured by Atalanta players. Unfortunately, Real Madrid doesn't only have Mbappe to score goals. I think it looks like Real Madrid will be the third club to achieve the sextuple after Barca and Munich. They have everything to win all the trophies in one season.

-snip-so there will no reason why teams with good squad should not proceed to the round of 16.

Although there are still pros and cons but I agree with you. The new Champions League system will make only the best teams who manage to collect the most points will qualify for the next round. This is different from the group format where sometimes a team with 4 points can qualify and a team with 6 points fails to qualify for the next round.

At least at Real Madrid he must have a lot of goals if not of course it will be more ridicule because Mbappe came to Real Madrid without scoring many goals it will be a little alienated, so indeed his task will be heavy especially since Mbappe is rumored to be the LaLiga top scorer and scored the most goals in Madrid this season.

Regarding Mbappe's trophies with Madrid, it is certain that he will get more than 1 title or even more, on the other hand he must understand that many contributions are important, but honestly I don't think Mbappe will decline he will probably score more than 20 goals for Real Madrid in all matches.

We know that in the past few years when Real Madrid reached the final in any match they were always able to win and it felt very difficult to stop their dominance when they were on top. Atalanta may have had hopes that it could happen again but in a different case here the opponent was a team with the best champion mentality ever.

But I really respect Atalanta that they had put Real Madrid under quite a bit of pressure with their man to man marking before finally in the second half Real Madrid was able to beat them with those goals. One thing is for sure here Real Madrid are still in the adaptation phase with the arrival of Mbappe so they had some difficulties but indeed Ancelotti always has a way of changing the scheme in a short time to be able to change the situation.

Not only the defenders will contribute to Mbappe, but Luka Modric will also be a defender who I think can be questioned for his contribution, because from his feet it will be a deadly pass for the opponent to supply Mbappe to the opponent's goal, so it is not surprising that in yesterday's match Real Madrid was able to defeat Atalanta easily, even though Atalanta had given significant resistance, Real Madrid was actually stronger than the Italian club.

Hold on, dude. I'm only wondering since when Luka Modric has been a defender? He was playing as CM/AM. Modric was not even playing as a DM. It's hard to know your intention by saying it. And you should never doubt Modric's contribution to Madrid. he'd been lifting bunches of trophies even before Mbappe was getting into PSG and join in Madrid.

It seems you're not even reading the post you're quoting above.

This is what happens when someone who doesn't understand football comments on a topic that raises the theme of football. Modric is an important player for Real Madrid, his contribution so far has been very real, he has become a pillar that is difficult to replace in Real Madrid midfield.
He made two mistakes in the post you quoted, first saying Modric plays as a defender and second he also said Modric has not contributed enough to the club he plays for. It seems he should read more about football before leaving comments on threads that discuss football so that the same mistake doesn't happen again.

Now we are in playoff stage. Last 7 teams to join the CL league phase is going to be determined by this stage.

The draw:



Which ones are your favourites? 

Mine are Bodo/Glimt, Dinamo Zagreb, Midtjylland, Sparta Prague, Lille, Galatasaray and Salzburg.

In fact, I would really like to see Qarabag eliminating Dinamo Zagreb. I see them very impressive. You would remember their Europa League performance in the previous season.    They still look strong so an upset here might be possible maybe. I really hope that Galatasaray make it to league phase without problems. Young Boys look really weak recently.
