UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[beerlover]

I really didn't expect last season's Champions League winners Real Madrid, who have a strong squad, to be held to a draw by Mallorca in the Laliga match and to be honest, in my previous post I always talked and predicted that Real Madrid is a very strong team and it will be difficult for any team. even to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League and Laliga, especially after the arrival of Mbappe which makes me believe that Real Madrid definitely has stronger strength. And of course many people have views like mine.

It is certain that the teams in the UCL and Laliga will definitely be confident when facing Real Madrid because they saw that the result of Real Madrid's match against Mallorca was a draw in Laliga. But even so, of course I'm sure there are still many people who don't doubt Real Madrid's strength because in football sometimes there are always matches that are surprising and the results are difficult to predict.

Yes, we'll see what Real Madrid's story is in the next match, but I'm sure Real Madrid will remain a team that is feared by UCL teams and Laliga teams. In the UCL, of course the match will be more tense and the opponents that Real Madrid will face will definitely be stronger and what is certain is that Ancelotti really has to make better techniques so that Real Madrid will perform better.

That type of thing of course happens, check out last season too, I am sure they probably had a tie with a team that was much lower, football isn't just ones and zeros binary type of thing, just because Real Madrid is good doesn't mean that they are going to win every game, they are going to sometimes even lose to simple teams, it doesn't mean that it has to be a big deal. I believe that we are going to see this changing and we should be considering how this is not a big deal at all.

I am sure that they will recover this loss in the near future and do a lot better. They still have a chance to win the league, the cup and UCL all at the same time, I do not think that they had the treble for a while now , and doing that would be only thing that is left to achieve at this point. In fact, for a team that is so good at UCL and won it more than anyone else by a big margin, they never done the six cups at the same time, I feel like they may do that.

The biggest thing is that with Messi and Ronaldo not in Europe at the moment and Mbappe joining Real Madrid, Mbappe has no worthy challenger to win the Ballon d'Or next season. Mbappe's Ballon d'Or win was made even easier by signing with Real Madrid. Mbappe now has to defend himself but he should have done better in the first match of La Liga where we didn't get the performance we expected from Mbappe. 
However, Mbappe has played two matches in Real Madrid jersey so far where he scored in the first match but he didn't get a chance to score in the second match but he has a full season ahead of him and if he can play at his best then he can definitely top the La Liga top scorer list. 

Millions of Mbappe fans are hoping that Mbappe will do well in La Liga as well as in the Champions League and add a Ballon d'Or to his name next season.

Mbappe could fall into the same trap as Haaland in his second year at City due to inflated expectations - he had a great season but everyone expected more. I don't think the Ballon d'Or is destined for Mbappe, he'll really have to work hard to get it. And I think even now Haaland is on par with Mbappe, and then there's Vinny, Bellingham and some other Real Madrid players who will "dilute" the votes of those who support Real Madrid.

Yes, even though Mbappe is at Real Madrid, but that is not a guarantee that Mbappe will get the highest achievements such as the Ballon d'Or easily because of course there will still be competition going on. Also, don't forget about Haaland because Haaland is still in a great team which still allows Haaland to be able to get his best results. Apart from that, of course there are still other players who also have the chance to get good results or performance too.

But indeed, if it is about Real Madrid then at least a player who basically has great potential like Mbappe, this will also give him a better chance. But even so, of course Mbappe still has to try to be better so that bad results like their first match in La Liga don't happen again too often.

There are already people who are starting to doubt Real Madrid in the CL this season just because of drawing with Mallorca. I don't think this would be a healthy thinking honestly. 

Because the season has just started as you know. It is always open for surprise results. This doesn't mean the rest of the season will go on the same. I'm confident about Mbappe effect on the team.

Anyway there is only one day left for Young Boys - Galatasaray game. I'm excited about it. We need to beat Young Boys in these legs to qualify for league phase. I say we are better now and we will make use of quality difference too.

Apart from that, of course there are still other players who also have the chance to get good results or performance too.

The issue now is that Real Madrid is always ready for any kind of game and they will survive even with Mbappé but  now that Mbappé is there it will make a great contribution to the already existing game, so he will play a very significant role in, Mbappé have a target and if he seriously focus and I think when I watched is first game I was impressed with the way he actually played, and it target will be beyond Ballon d'Or and might just be another legend in the making, Haaland to having been doing great so it going to be among their cycle, and people want to start concluding on Mbappé case and I feel he actually needs time to settle in the more to be able to give them the kind of performance.

But indeed, if it is about Real Madrid then at least a player who basically has great potential like Mbappe, this will also give him a better chance. But even so, of course Mbappe still has to try to be better so that bad results like their first match in La Liga don't happen again too often.

The kind of players Real Madrid have are always their to do their best, and Mbappé is actually the right choice for Real Madrid because more will actually come from the young man, their first match is nothing, and they will still have their winning, the title is already Real Madrids so every other club should rest, because their next game will be a win for them.

La Liga is different from the champions league and Real Madrid are the kings of the champions league. When it comes to playing in the champions league, how they play there cannot be compared to how they play in the league games. Mbappe is still a player that Real Madrid can rely on this season. Just in his first game with the team, we can see his performance and also score in his debut season. The Real Madrid team are no doubt going to excel in this years champions league like other seasons. La Liga shouldn’t be compared to champions league’s results in my opinion.

Kylian Mbappé is a great player but he may not really win the balloon d'Or because looking at the current performance of the top Ballon D'Or contenders we can see that players like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr and Rodri are in the forefront of the balloon d'Or rankings so unless Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland show good display this season otherwise they may be far from winning the award.
        Mbappé still has a promising future at Real Madrid so if he brings in his best for the team it will surely earn him more recognition in Europe and his market value will increase the more and with Real Madrid he can achieve major trophies than he got at PSG. I believe he will recover from the last result they got in their first la Liga game against Mallorca and hope for a better result in their next game.

The UEFA Champions League is main target for Real Madrid this season, they can have poor stats in La Liga but when it comes to elite tournaments, they are always flying with good records. I trust Real Madrid to be one of the possible club that can make all things happen in the European football world. Kylian Mbappe is currently my favorite madrid player in Real Madrid jersey, he's having coupled stellar performance with his team and we have watched the amazing performance of the club.

Yes. By the way, I think it's 90% clear that Vinny will get the award for last season. In order to "take" the award for himself, after Vinny got it, plus playing in the same team, Mbappe will have to try very hard. And even in this case, there is no guarantee that the voting for the best player will take place in the following scheme:

Haaland 70 votes
Mbappe 65
Vinny 65
Bellingham 60

  Thus, the internal competition at Real Madrid will be in Haaland's favor.

Why will the Champions League be their main target of Manchester City who have won it more than any other team in recent times. Assuming it were the time they stayed several seasons without winning it, they it would have made more sense but now they may not be as passionate for the Champions League like before unless you are saying that Kylan Mbappe has that as his priority because that is the main reason he joined the European champions. Real Madrid will just play their normal game to win all the competition and without any desperation.

Also, don't forget about Haaland because Haaland is still in a great team which still allows Haaland to be able to get his best results. Apart from that, of course there are still other players who also have the chance to get good results or performance too.

Indeed. Ballon d'Or isn't all about the team. To win it, a player must fulfill 3 criteria:
1. The performance of the player
2. The success of the team
3. The behavior and fair play aspect

Reference: https://www.topendsports.com/sport/soccer/awards/ballondor.htm

According to the criteria, the team factor only contributes 1 point. Most of the criteria are related to the individual matter. So, winning it depends on how good the player experiencing the whole season.

Yep, Haaland is also the candidate of Ballon d'Or. However, it seems the player who has the highest chance to win it won't be Mbappe or Haaland. According to givemesport, we have Rodri, Vinicius, and Bellingham as the most players to have the chance winning it.

But indeed, if it is about Real Madrid then at least a player who basically has great potential like Mbappe, this will also give him a better chance.

Sure, playing in Real Madrid will enhance the chance to win it. Real Madrid has quality players who can support Mbappe to be the best player in the world. It is expected that Mbappe to score goals as many as possible. Scoring many goals will contribute to the success of Real Madrid winning the trophies. So if Mbappe can perform well and Real Madrid win trophies, it is a big reason to be a strong candidate for Ballon d'Or. But don't forget that Real Madrid has some players who become the candidate to win Ballon d'Or. It is not only Mbappe who has the chance to win it in Real Madrid team.

When Mbappe played for PSG he was still in the top 5 in the race to win the Ballon d'Or. But Lionel Messi was above everyone. As a result, they could never compete with Lionel Messi despite their good performances.

However, neither Messi nor Ronaldo are in Europe at the moment, and as a result, some of Real Madrid's players are dominating the Ballon d'Or, including Brazil's Vinicius Jr., England's Jude Bellingham. These two are leading the race to win the Ballon d'Or this season. Kylian Mbappé has joined the Real Madrid club to match himself in a new way in the upcoming season. Real Madrid is one of the best club ever in the history of football club, even they perform great in every season and win different titles. Many are saying that Mbappe's future Ballon d'O win is more likely by joining Real. Not only will he join the club but also show his ability and performance that will contribute to his winning the Ballon d'Or.

The biggest thing is that with Messi and Ronaldo not in Europe at the moment and Mbappe joining Real Madrid, Mbappe has no worthy challenger to win the Ballon d'Or next season. Mbappe's Ballon d'Or win was made even easier by signing with Real Madrid. Mbappe now has to defend himself but he should have done better in the first match of La Liga where we didn't get the performance we expected from Mbappe.  
However, Mbappe has played two matches in Real Madrid jersey so far where he scored in the first match but he didn't get a chance to score in the second match but he has a full season ahead of him and if he can play at his best then he can definitely top the La Liga top scorer list.  

Millions of Mbappe fans are hoping that Mbappe will do well in La Liga as well as in the Champions League and add a Ballon d'Or to his name next season.

Who told you that Kylian Mbappe doesn't have a worthy rival? Of course there are worthy rivals but they are young emerging and there are even many who are no match for his skills. Mbappe is one of the best players he has recently been linked with Real Madrid. Mbappe joining Real does not mean he will win the upcoming Ballon d'Or without competition.

The Ballon d'Or is football's most prestigious award. Winning the Ballon d'Or is a dream of every footballer in the world but not everyone can fulfill this dream. To earn this award, the player has to work hard throughout the season as well as perform well. Even goals and assists are to be scored in every match. The players who have been great throughout the season are the ones who are ahead to win the Ballon d'or ie their names are on the list of Ballon d'or winners.

So who is Mbappe's worthy rival for the Ballon d'Or right now, you name me one player who can perform at par with Mbappe and who plays for a club like Real Madrid. Mbappé won the best emerging star award when he first played for France at the World Cup and he had no shortage of talent and goalscoring ability but why hasn't he won the Ballon d'Or for so long? 
Until now he has not had good players to support him in his club and the goals in the league he scored were not given much importance and his team did not do well in the Champions League because of these things but he has not won the Ballon d'Or till now. But now that he has arrived at Real Madrid, where he has quality team-mates to support him and his team is winning the Champions League trophy almost every season, it will be a very easy matter for him to win the Ballon d'Or. 
No matter how many young players you talk about, they will never win the Ballon d'Or if their club doesn't have big achievements.

  Thus, the internal competition at Real Madrid will be in Haaland's favor.

Thought of that too... I mean to some extent votes has to be divide among the players in the same club by voters since we have  more competitors coming from the same club unlike having single to take a centered vote from voters.

The UEFA Champions League is main target for Real Madrid this season, they can have poor stats in La Liga but when it comes to elite tournaments, they are always flying with good records. I trust Real Madrid to be one of the possible club that can make all things happen in the European football world. Kylian Mbappe is currently my favorite madrid player in Real Madrid jersey, he's having coupled stellar performance with his team and we have watched the amazing performance of the club.

Why will the Champions League be their main target of Manchester City who have won it more than any other team in recent times. Assuming it were the time they stayed several seasons without winning it, they it would have made more sense but now they may not be as passionate for the Champions League like before unless you are saying that Kylan Mbappe has that as his priority because that is the main reason he joined the European champions. Real Madrid will just play their normal game to win all the competition and without any desperation.

True! I don't think that will be the case either, their loss was just because of a mistake or just for a reason(who knows what they're upto), focusing on only UCL won't be very pressing to them , they've won it more than every other club just have you said but that doesn't mean they won't take it serious either. If they can do it one more time just like they did before then Mbappe can have the chance to win the world best he always wished for so many year, it will be like a dream come true for him

[klidex]

Today's match Lille vs Slavia Praha and Bodø/Glimt vs Crvena Zvezda exactly as I predicted, a win for the home team with a score that is not much different, I think Lille will continue to qualify for the next round because I see Lille has a very strong determination to continue playing in the Champions League, he also just started the early season match with a win against Reims away.

For today's match:
Young Boys vs Galatasaray
Dynamo Kiev vs Salzburg
Midjyland vs Slovan Bratislava

I bet on the option below, do you think it's a good choice? with odds @3.13.

[rendravolt]

Damn, I missed a big odds bet win and it all fell apart when Qarabag was crushed by Zagreb. Initially I wanted to fill in BTTS (Yes) but I changed it and changed it to draw/Qarabag. But still the result is an advantage for the host by winning the first leg. Maybe with this it can be said that Qarabag's chances of qualifying through the second leg will be impossible.

For the other matches went smoothly and I think the luck of betting with four matches feels quite difficult to realize. But I will not give up and will try again in the next match.

[reagansimms]

There are already people who are starting to doubt Real Madrid in the CL this season just because of drawing with Mallorca. I don't think this would be a healthy thinking honestly. 

Because the season has just started as you know. It is always open for surprise results. This doesn't mean the rest of the season will go on the same. I'm confident about Mbappe effect on the team.

This kind of thinking only comes from the heads of people who don't understand football, how can you draw conclusions from just one match, that's clearly unhealthy thinking. This draw is actually very good for Real Madrid, Ancelotti who is responsible for his players' performance will immediately take action so that an incident like this does not happen again.
Surprises can come from any team, Ancelotti will try to make his team appear more solid in the next match. Real Madrid is still the strongest team in the UCL, The results obtained in La Liga cannot be considered as a decrease in performance when playing in the UCL because the two competitions have different atmospheres.
