UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Dzwaafu11]

Real Madrid is now a fully balanced team, they have no weakness anywhere. They've got their defense in mind, they've got a goalkeeper in mind, they've got the best midfielders in the world right now and the best attacking line-up at their disposal, so how they're going to perform can be predicted even before the match starts. It is now easier for the gamblers because those who like to bet on Real Madrid can now bet on Real Madrid in almost every match as Real Madrid will now win less than lose.

Real Madrid is obviously ready for this coming competition that will start very soon, and everyone has already put high hopes on them. Although Real Madrid are going to be giving us positive results this coming season, as they were doing before, their squad is now the best squad; none of their positions is weak. All his Ancelotti, and I'm giving him that respect. He really put in hard work and dedication to see the club at the top.

Newbies and those who have little idea about different teams can follow Real Madrid games and bet on Real Madrid matches so that instead of losing money in the beginning, they can gain a small amount of money. A new season is going to start soon and we are going to see a new Real Madrid in a new season.

ThisThis looks looks funny, though I can see that you really put too much hope on Real Madrid, although they are strong and they will be able to concur with any team that comes their way, but sometimes football is all about luck, although I know that how professional you are can also contribute, but still, at some point, luck plays its own role. Don't rush and give novices advice to always bet on Real Madrid at their own risk; it will be better if they do what they think will favor them.

[BALIK]

Lol, just like I said Real Madrid will destroy Atalanta, they prove me right.
Atalanta only have few chance, but they don't have good individual skill, so they can't score a goal from the chance they created.
Mbappe has very impressed statistic: 1 match, 1 goal, 1 trophy. Is there any other player that has the same statistic?
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 again to Real Madrid Club for winning yet another title. Currently, Real Madrid continues to win, they are winning almost most of the matches. Kylian Mbappe was the biggest attraction of the UEFA Super Cup 2024 final match yesterday. Mbappe played his first match for Real Madrid through yesterday's match.
His style of play didn't seem new at this club, he was too old and too relaxed. Real Madrid midfielder Valverde put Real Madrid ahead in the 59th minute before Kylian Mbappe doubled the score with another goal. Mbappe's goal marked the first goal of his career for Real Madrid, even in the final.

Also, as you mentioned, he might have a record next to his name for the first goal in a debut match even a title win in that match.

What a club Real Madrid is. It won't be an injustice to declare them as the Kings of Europe officially, and just call it a day. They just keep winning.
In all seriousness though, there could only be one winner in the Super Cup showdown between Atalanta and Real Madrid. Atalanta, even after showing huge promise in the UEL knockouts, knew this would be a huge hurdle to overcome. On the other hand, Real Madrid right now has the best squad in all of Europe. Ancelotti has super players, and he is the perfect man to get the best out of these players.

Also the Mbappe stat, this might be a crazy record just on its own. Insane 

[imamusma]

Mbappé undoubtedly started off on the right foot and this Gives him and the team more Confidence , as well as the great Ancelotti , But I think this is so that they can still do things well and the way they are going, also being on the right foot , this gives Ancelotti the confidence that will be his Secret weapon to resolve any difficult match, his speed with Vini and Roderygo will make a great combination, for me Madrid is very well Strengthened , this is something that all the teams in the world are clear about.

Mbappé makes Madrid heavy favorite to repeat as Spanish league champion for 1st time in 17 years



Mbappé will boost a Madrid attack that includes Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and will also count on young Brazil sensation Endrick.

Mbappé is likely to start alongside Vinicius, with Rodrygo losing his spot as a starter. Endrick, who is only 18, is expected to wait a bit longer to make it to the squad.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti won´t count on stalwart Toni Kroos, who retired after last season, but fellow veteran midfielder Luka Modric will stick around for what is expected to be his final campaign with the club.

Ancelotti will still count on Jude Bellingham, who is returning after thriving in his first season with Madrid.

With a charismatic manager with rich experience, and supported by the ideal squad depth, it seems that Real Madrid will be able to defend the La Liga trophy at the end of the season, they last did it in the 2006-2007 to 2007-2008 seasons. The financial crisis experienced by Barcelona has made it difficult for Hansi Flick team to develop, thus providing a good opportunity for Real Madrid to win the trophy in a row in two seasons. Atletico Madrid, Girona and other La Liga contestants have a very wide gap with Real Madrid, especially in terms of player composition.

With a number of star players in the squad, Ancelotti can easily determine the starting XI. In the UEFA Super Cup Final we have also seen how Ancelotti can arrange a formation that gives Vinicius, Mbappe, Rodrygo a place in one lineup. Bellingham gets a different role with a position pulled back a little, his task next season is to serve the three attackers by creating more opportunities from midfield. A different strategy would be very easy for Ancelotti to implement, which we might see in the opening game against Mallorca on Sunday.

A new season is going to start soon and we are going to see a new Real Madrid in a new season.

Don't rush and give novices advice to always bet on Real Madrid at their own risk; it will be better if they do what they think will favor them.

  Lidger is actually funny. How can you advise a newbie in gambling to choose a team and always bet one so that they will not lose their game, although I might say you are just saying it for the sake of fun?

We all know that Real Madrid are now very strong, and they have the strength to be hardly beating in the season, but that doesn’t determine that they will not lose a game. In football, anything is possible, whether losing or winning a game, so having hope in Real Madrid is a good one, but believing fully in it and advising others to gamble on that is very wrong. because when they lose, you will be at fault. That is why it is not good to encourage or advise someone to gamble, especially in the beginnings. 

[Lillominato89]

A Real Madrid fan since childhood, he dreamed of playing for Real Madrid and has now fulfilled that dream, even though it took a lot of drama to get to Los Blancos because of PSG's refusal to sell.
When he is at Real Madrid it will be easy to win many titles, starting from LaLiga, Copa Del Rey, Champion League and finally the EUFA Super Cup that has been won for him.
A myriad of talented players are now at Real Madrid, and this is the most favored club to win the Champions League this season, yes it could be coming to its 16th time trophy.

Maybe it will be so, at least the beginning for him was really easy, the first official match and he won the UEFA Super Cup. Maybe in the new season he will be able to win the Champions League, but it is too early to talk about it, I looked at the odds and they look like this:

City - 3.25
Real - 3.95
Arsenal - 9.85
Liverpool - 11.10
Bayern - 12.70
Barcelona - 13.10
PSG - 16.80

It is surprising that Arsenal is higher than Bayern, Barcelona and even PSG. It is also not clear why City is considered the favorite, Real is the record holder in this tournament, although I probably agree with this, City really played better than Real. Probably in this rating I disagree only with the position of Bayern and would raise it higher.

These are odds that are trying to mislead bettors. It is just strange that the trophy holder is not given as a favorite, and that the other finalist is not even in the top 10 picks, Borussia Dortmund is quoted 34 And arsenal strangely is given more favorites than many other clearly superior teams. It is all very strange

Real Madrid is now a fully balanced team, they have no weakness anywhere. They've got their defense in mind, they've got a goalkeeper in mind, they've got the best midfielders in the world right now and the best attacking line-up at their disposal, so how they're going to perform can be predicted even before the match starts. It is now easier for the gamblers because those who like to bet on Real Madrid can now bet on Real Madrid in almost every match as Real Madrid will now win less than lose. 

Every club have weaknesses and no matter how good you are people will still defeat you so that is football their is no best because if you think you are the best their are people who are going to beat you hands down. Things are always hard to predict most times so it is better to be prepared to what ever news you might get during, if it is about the club for now they have the best players in the la Liga and with how they want to get serious they will still dominate the champions league this season. And their is nothing more interesting than having young and players with experience because having Vinicius and Mbappé is a new era for Real Madrid do have more wins because if Manchester city will find it more difficult this time around to be able to defeat them, Real Madrid is now a sure club to place your bet on.

Newbies and those who have little idea about different teams can follow Real Madrid games and bet on Real Madrid matches so that instead of losing money in the beginning, they can gain a small amount of money. A new season is going to start soon and we are going to see a new Real Madrid in a new season.

When you know clubs that have excellent players like Madrid can be relied on, just that when they know the capacity of a a club is more than the other they might give it a smaller odd is just for you to just reduce, your greed because their are periods when you will have difficulty and you might feel you want to take more risk you might just loose money. And when they start winning they they will want to do more when gambling I know how people love gambling especially when they are winning even if you are warning them they won't listen so it is better to cut down greed as a newbie.

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.

Anyone who deems Modric a defender or thinks he hasnt contributed enough hasnt watched Real Madrid. Modric is a midfield master. His vision, passing, and tactical awareness are unmatched. Though he doesnt play 90 minutes anymore, he's effective when on the pitch.

Remember his leadership. His performance is crucial, especially in the Champions League. The Ballon d'Or came after he turned 30! Thats unprecedented. He's still skilled, driven, and coaching younger guys. Modric's legacy at Real Madrid isnt simply his medals, but his class and passion every game.

He may drop back to help the defense, but he's a team player. He creates and controls the game better than most. People who dont realize Modric is a legend arent paying attention.

[dezoel]

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

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.

He could have stayed another 10 seasons with PSG and would still not lift that cup, which is one of the reasons why he left. I mean he left because he loves Real Madrid, even if they weren't doing this good he would have still left because he loves them, but they are also amazing so it worked out amazing for him.

I bet that as long as he stays here for a while, we are going to see him win many more cups, from la liga to copa del rey to UCL to super cup, he is going to get a lot of them. If he plays another 10 or so seasons here, and 10 seasons isn't really unlikely for a player at his calibre, then he could have like 30+ cups by the end of his career, something very rare and not a lot of players can say. He came here relatively young, so he has time to grow with everyone else around him and do big things. I also think that he is going to keep scoring, and that magical 800+ goal mark isn't impossible for him, very very hard, but not impossible to achieve.

Some people cannot differentiate the roles of some midfielders, they just know that they are all playing n the middle of the field. If not, who doesn't know Modric in his role of attacking midfield? He is not a defensive midfielder; he plays as a supporting striker and creates good chances for the strikers.

Big players like him do change game, they have good impact in football because they are well experienced, and knows how to read game and knows how to make changes which is the main reason Real Madrid is yet to let him go despite his age. Modric can only come to play few minutes of the match, he is old to play complete 90 minutes, but he can start especially in big games where experience is needed.

[Weawant]

I think the team is balance but I am not confident about their defense. Although they have good defense as well compared to several teams in the Europe but the defense will concede good number of goals if care is not taken. If they have had the opportunity to sign Saliba from Arsenal, they would have paired him with Rudigar because Alaba is injury prone and cannot be relied on any more; furthermore, Rudigar is also old and cannot be relied on because he do make some errors which do cause a lot of goals even though he is a good fighter and can help his team win titles.

You are right and this point of yours, when put to consideration has got a whole lot of sense in it but then even at this point I don't see Madrid really suffering because their defense doesn't appear solid, they have got a form midfield a d from the build up in the midfield, some sense of defensiveness is seen coupled with their solid forwards, attackers and strikers who can maintain a good level of possession long enough before the ball gets into their danger zone, so for me I see it that Madrid just have nothing to really wori about in their defense and also they have got a tactics that's helping them cover up for all of that which looks like a problem.

[bering]

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.

It's hard to determined which teams will advance to the next round and about Salzburg i think they gets hard match because their opponent Dynamo Kyiv is very consistent during qualification stages even they had just beat Rangers which the favourite team for this stage and i am sure Dynamo Kyiv potentially can make Salzburg gets in trouble

And for Lille i think they have equal level to their opponent Slavia Prague but the recent performance of Slavia Prague is much better compared to Lille so this match will be very tight but Lille has very close to the League phase of Champion league and after absense for 2 years i think obviously they don't want to missed their chances to playing at this competition again and under Bruno Génésio i have seen Lille have good progress so although this is hard match for Lille but i think they can able to beat Slavia Prague and advances to the next round

Still all Speculations  to me  the season is till very young with few plays besides its just day 1 we are yet to see the beauty out  of it ... I don't know how you come into conclusion  that it's been so difficult for hansi Flick to develop the team,he's yet to have his official matches for Laliga and UCL so we can't say he has not been able to develop anything for now. Thus we the current squad from each team in laliga if we are to compare the we will always put Realmadrid at the top they have the ability to take it and lift it once again but like I said it's still all Speculations  the games will tell itself.

[KTChampions]

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!

Barcelona has Yamal and Atletico has Alvarez. Both of these players can be competitors, although I think Yamal is overrated and Alvarez is not in the best team to shine individually. But if FIFA gets involved, everything could change. Messi was molded into what he was molded into by a strong-willed decision. If it weren’t for the officials, he would have remained one of many.

It's clear that Real Madrid should be the most likely to defend their trophy. But, as you said, it's weird they got second, not first. Prob Pep's factor is the reason why we're still seeing City at the first place. Also, the funny thing is that Arsenal is more favored. They have smaller odds than Munich, which beat them last season. But the only acceptable reason is probably due to the new coach of Bayern Munich. Still, this looks so strange.

Bookmakers overestimate City every year and this is not news, although of course this year it is extremely strange against the backdrop of how Real has strengthened.
As for Arsenal, I think the odds are fair - Arsenal has been progressing for 5 years in a row and has actually become the strongest team in the Premier League (if you don't take into account the cheating club), while Bayern is deteriorating, Barcelona is in crisis, PSG has lost Mbappe.

[Catenaccio]

Barcelona has Yamal and Atletico has Alvarez. Both of these players can be competitors, although I think Yamal is overrated and Alvarez is not in the best team to shine individually. But if FIFA gets involved, everything could change. Messi was molded into what he was molded into by a strong-willed decision. If it weren’t for the officials, he would have remained one of many.

It's very hard for a single player can shine in modern football and carry a whole team on his shoulders. It's difficult to bring a team to success, titles by efforts of a single player. Yamal is talented but very young and he needs more experience to become players like Messi. It's only hope and whether Yamal can grow up to that level or not, is a future story that we can not know certainly now.

Messi is an idol of many youth players grown up in La Massia and Yamal is one of them but there will be only one Messi like we have only one Pele, Maradona, Cruff, Beckenbauer or Ibrahimovic. Yamal is a youth player who can contribute a lot for Barcelona and football in coming years.

[joniboini]

It's hard to determined which teams will advance to the next round and about Salzburg i think they gets hard match because their opponent Dynamo Kyiv is very consistent during qualification stages even they had just beat Rangers which the favourite team for this stage and i am sure Dynamo Kyiv potentially can make Salzburg gets in trouble

If I remembered it correctly, Rangers get a red card on that match didn't they? The goals are scored after that. In the first leg they tied with Rangers afaik, so some can argue that the result is not indicative of their next match against similar or stronger opponents.

I think Salzburg is the team I'm familiar the most, so I would root for them in this qualifier. That being said most of those teams are regular Europe competition participants although their performance on the group stage is usually not good.

[topbitcoin]

City - 3.25
Real - 3.95
Arsenal - 9.85
Liverpool - 11.10
Bayern - 12.70
Barcelona - 13.10
PSG - 16.80

Odds that are not too different from last season where last season the position was almost the same where Manchester City and Madrid remained the favorites for this competition and I think it is quite reasonable for the odds of several other big clubs even though they are also big clubs but for the Champions League we can actually see the difference where other clubs are below Madrid and Manchester City especially with the condition of several clubs such as Barcelona, ​​PSG and Bayern which this season they are in a transition phase with their internal then their odds are not surprising. But in this case we cannot close the fact that there are always surprises that occur just like 2 seasons ago Inter and Dortmund who were in the final this is still possible to happen.

All of that can still change when the season starts because for me it is also not right to put Real Madrid in second place after what Real Madrid achieved last season and also with the current Real Madrid squad. If it is because Pep is still coaching Manchester City, I think it is also not wrong if we consider Ancelotti as a good coach for Real Madrid so that every Real Madrid player is able to play the way he gives. We can see an example when Real Madrid beat Atalanta where in the first half Real Madrid did not play well enough, but in the second half everything changed and Madrid became a team that was able to win.

[mvdheuvel1983]

Lol, just like I said Real Madrid will destroy Atalanta, they prove me right.

Congratulations again to Real Madrid Club for winning yet another title. Currently, Real Madrid continues to win, they are winning almost most of the matches. Kylian Mbappe was the biggest attraction of the UEFA Super Cup 2024 final match yesterday. Mbappe played his first match for Real Madrid through yesterday's match.

Ancelotti has super players, and he is the perfect man to get the best out of these players.

Also the Mbappe stat, this might be a crazy record just on its own. Insane 

Truly Real Madrid is the king of Europe all thanks to them management, the team president for always bringing in good coaches and young stars who are always potential world best players in view, they play as a team and they have the winning mentality always in every game they play so I guess they should crown them the King 👑 of European competitions because they definitely won't stop winning trophies with the world class players they have in the team right now.

The Atalanta team came so prepared for the game knowing they they are up against the best team in the world but not stepping up low as a result of the first half result of 0:0 shows how improved the Atalanta team has become after their performance in the Europa League finals last season.
