UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Iranus]

I personally will not always be fixated only on Ancelotti who managed to get five Champions League trophies because after all, Ancelotti also only succeeded when he was the manager of top teams like Real Madrid and Milan. But, when Ancelotti became the manager of other middle teams and some were also still top teams in different leagues, but in reality Ancelotti did not even succeed in improving the quality of the team in other teams in different leagues. Therefore, I think whether Real Madrid will succeed or not in the Champions League this season, it still seems to prioritize team performance first and cannot rely on just a few parties or players.

But indeed, when it comes to the Champions League and Real Madrid it is like something that is difficult to separate. Because after all, even though Real Madrid did not have good results in the domestic league but in fact, Real Madrid always managed to get good results in the Champions League and even, managed to get the trophy too. But I think this season might be more difficult,  because with the implementation of the new format then of course it will make teams like Real Madrid also get different challenges, so there is still no guarantee for Real Madrid to succeed this season.

Real Madrid just changes whenever they are playing in the Champions League, at least that has been the case for the past few years. Whatever happens in the league or other games, they just turn up by a notch in the UCL. Well, a lot of people did question Ancelotti's tactics, but it wins them games, right? So as long as you are winning trophies, all these questions just die down.

Actually, Ancelotti is a manager who has been really lucky at times, all the comebacks that they had, there were a great amount of luck involved in them. Yes, in football you need luck, but to get lucky every time your team is behind? That's some voodoo shit bro.

If you ask me about the upcoming season, I somehow think that they won't get lucky this time around. Something will happen, and they will go out from the UCL without reaching the finals. I can be horribly wrong, but I tend to believe they really can't make it.

There is no doubt Champions league is the biggest trophy in football and it’s more exciting and most anticipated game in football. Liverpool has been on a great form this season and I think that’s a good start from them and hope they continue with this form. The CL is going to be very competitive this season due to many reasons, the fact that some top teams are in good form is enough to clarify how interesting this season’s Champions league would go. The previous champions of CL are also in a good form, and with Kylian mbappe on the team, their performance is unpredictable.

Liverpool has a new look this season because they have a new coach and he will want to make his presence felt at the champions league. Liverpool has not done very well in the champions league since they last won the champions league but things might be different this season. Liverpool first game is against Milan and I do not see any problem with them defeating Milan. Having a good start to the season can boost the confidence of the players and I know that is what Arne Slot will want for the players. About Real Madrid, they do not have to be in a good form for them to be top picks. Their performance can not be unpredictable, they might not be winning in La liga but when it comes to the champions league, they are going to put on a performance that is going to make other clubs to be scared of them.

Did any team ever have an easy time winning the Champions League? As far as I can remember, no team ever went through the Champions League as if there was no real competition. All the titles that Real Madrid won over the course of the last decade came with a lot of luck and a lot of effort. Some of the titles could have gone either way. Think about all the last second goals they scored or the times when there was no VAR and scored offside goals against Bayern Munich.

It doesn't matter what the name of your team is, whether that be Manchester City or Real Madrid, the Champions League remains the hardest competition by far. Otherwise Manchester City would have won the title more often, but they didn't and that says a lot about the level of the tournament and all the minor details that play a role for the final outcome.

If the champions league is mentioned always there is the set of fans that do not basically rate the Real Madrid team winning the champions league they always go ahead to this mode  that the club is lucky. Although in liked there is always luck but someone does something repeatedly isn’t supposed to be classified as luck again but perfect of the master craft.

Many people easily use things like the VAR to insinuate that it would have been worse for Real Madrid but I say it is as also another false narrative, although there are matches that they have controversial calls that were actually awarded in favour of Real Madrid but was this bad period enjoyed only by Real Madrid? I would say No as they were also other clubs like Barcelona or even Manchester United had favour in those days

Those people who assume Real Madrid was just lucky in UCL, they must never learn the stats and probably just know football. Or they are haters of Real Madrid.   It is clear that Real Madrid is very dominating UCL and it is not only abut luck. They won most trophies, and they won't almost all UCL finals. There are no other teams which can do this. It is proven that Real Madrid is a special team in UCL. It is normal if Real Madrid becomes the candidate of the champion in every season.

Haters will be always haters, they will have thousands reasons.
VAR is even to be a proof that Real Madrid wins the game with a fair way. It can't be a reason that Real Madrid win the match in a fraudulent way.
Most of the bad narratives directed to Real Madrid are something that have no clear basis. Sometimes it is just a media that spreads false narrative, they take advantage to attract people's attention.

I am very interested in the 3 teams who are currently starting a new season with new coaches but they have managed to amaze us all with the performance of the teams they coached at the start of this season. This is Liverpool's first to be coached by their new coach, Arne Slot, who replaced Klopp. And then I was also curious about Barcelona's performance which looked extraordinary at the start of the season in La Liga with their new coach, Hansi Flick. And the last thing that makes me curious is Juventus who also look quite convincing under their new coach, Thiago Motta.

Maybe when talking about Manchester City, Real Madrid and Inter Milan. then we know they can be extraordinary because they continue their good performance since last season while still using the same coach. But Liverpool, Barcelona and Juventus started the season with new coaches but immediately showed very positive results and made everyone have high hopes for them. So I feel curious about Liverpool, Barcelona and Juventus in the Champions League. I wonder if they will also manage to start the UCL as well as they started the season in the domestic league so well?

Man City vs Inter

Manchester City vs Inter Milan will meet in the first match in the Champions League on Thursday, this is one of the matches that caught my attention because these two clubs are Champions League finalists in the 2022/23 season and Manchester City who won the Champions League and Inter Milan became runners up and they will meet earlier this season.
Manchester City will certainly be more favored in this match because Man City is in its best form.

The bookies give lower odds to Man City because we can already predict that Man City will be more favored to win against Inter Milan, oh yes for the match to be held at the Etihad stadium betting on Man City's victory is the right choice.

here are the odds:

Liverpool players are very enthusiastic to welcome this game after performing well since the start of the season, the increase in performance experienced under the management of Arne Slot has made the players even more motivated to achieve victory in the opening match of the UCL. This victory can also boost their confidence in the next match. Liverpool must play disciplined and control the match well if they want to win their first game in the UCL because Milan is not a weak team that is easy to beat.

Real Madrid are experiencing problems in their squad due to several key players being injured, their absence in the squad will affect the depth of the team which will make it difficult for them to win big matches. A big team name alone is not enough to achieve victory without being supported by a complete squad, in this phase it might be a little easier for Real Madrid, but when entering the next round the competition will be even more difficult.

Lol never learned the stats ...Well, If it's about stats then they won't have qualified at some point, I'm not really concerned about their previous UCL trophies but let's take a look at last year's  game ( If truly you want to judge by stats then check their stats).
At the same time I'm not insinuating that most/all their games are based
luck rather I'm just saying they do have the luck sometimes amd this falls at the last minutes . Earning that amount of trophy isn't actually a easy one, they really deserved it.
Anyways, this is another season for UCL let's see how things gonna be, Manchester Cuty with the first game...this is gonna be fun

Under the tutelage of Arne Slot, Liverpool is again a team that must be watched out for by opponents both in the domestic league and UCL. Liverpool's playing style is very different now, they rely on one touch and distance between players in attack. They also have many smart runners and easy short passes. ​Liverpool's way of playing now, the players are well organized both in attack and in possession of the ball and they don't lose the ball easily. It can be said that Liverpool is currently playing like a unit and that is a good capital for Liverpool in the UCL this season. With Liverpool's current performance, of course they are very ready and enthusiastic to welcome the UCL league this season.

The first match in the UCL league they will face Ac Milan, if you look at the performance of both teams it seems that Liverpool will win this match, because Ac Milan is currently not doing well, they have not even won in the Domestic league from 3 matches. In addition, this victory is very important for Liverpool because they will also meet Leverkusen in the 4th match and Real Madrid in the 5th match. So stealing points at AC Milan's home is something that must be done so that Liverpool has high confidence.

here are the odds:

It's normal if the bookies provide low odds for Manchester City because for this match Manchester City will playing as a host besides that Manchester City records at home for Champion league was very fantastic because they were unbeatable since 2018 and Manchester City total has been through an 31 home matches for Champion league and they have over than 60% winning rates during playing at Etihad stadium so i have no wonder if Manchester City status is the favourite

Besides that i have seen all of Manchester City players in the good fitness and all of their key players were available in this match including Haaland who on fire and do not forget too Manchester City has Gundogan and i think this player is important for this team so although Inter Milan is very impressive in Serie A i think there is no chances for them to beat Manchester City at Etihad Stadium

Bookies consider Manchester City as favorites in this match. As the match is at City's home match, City are considered to be more favourites. Moreover, City's squad is also strong. Even in the last season, Manchester City's performance was very good.

However, I cannot call Inter Milan a weak opponent. The current strongest club in Serie A is Inter Milan. Milan have a very strong squad. Inter Milan's attack is also very strong this season. So, although City are considered favorites in this match, it is definitely not an easy task for City to beat Inter Milan. I would say if Inter Milan's defenders play well, Inter Milan can get points from this match.

Even the dealers gave the biggest opportunity for Manchester City to be the champion in the Champions League this season, in terms of Real Madrid even in second place after Manchester City. This became something natural because at their previous meetings Manchester City also defeated Inter Milan in the final.
I agreed with you, even though the dealer sided with Manchester City, it did not mean they would easily defeat Inter Milan. Inter Milan is one of the good teams, last season they also won the championship in Serie A. This was the meeting of the two teams that won their local league. Of course what we hope is that they will be able to present a very interesting game for us to enjoy for 90 minutes in normal time.

However, Manchester City is considered to be the favorite for the Champions League this season. But winning the Champions League title is always challenging. First, if you want to win the Champions League, you must have a consistent performance throughout the season. Champions League title is impossible to win if performance is erratic. If Haaland suffers an injury, City's performance will not be stable. Guardiola doesn't have a worthy replacement. They traded Alvarez this offseason. However, if Haaland is injury free this season, City have the potential to dominate the Champions League.

Inter Milan vs Manchester City match will be competitive. Manchester City's squad is slightly stronger, and since it's City's home match, City are said to be favourites. But Manchester City players have a big chance of losing points if they make any mistakes.

Milan started this season very ambiguously, it will be difficult for them to play against such Liverpool, but despite this I am not ready to bet on Liverpool's victory yet. But in the match between Real and Stuttgart the favorite is more obvious to me, even despite the fact that Real has some problems with injuries and so far they cannot find their best game in attack, I think it is only a matter of time when they will happen and they will score a lot, in the match against Stuttgart I expect Real to score several goals, they concede in almost every match, their defense is not strong enough to withstand Real.

The UEFA Champions League competition returns next week Tuesday as a lot of games will be played in the first match week of the season. So I'm curious to know which of the fixtures in the first match week interests you the most. For me, I'll be more interested in the Manchester City vs Inter Milan game that'll be played on Wednesday at the Etihad. that'll be the first game between the two former European champions since they past met in the 2023 final which Manchester narrowly won.

What's your own game of interest in the first match week of the new UCL season

My favorite matches that day is actually many which is AC Milan against Liverpool, Real Madrid against Stuttgart and Bayern Munich against Dining Zagreb, I think that day matches will be the most easy game to predict because already from the three matches I have listed above has already picked the best club of each of the matches, however let me start with Liverpool because they are one of the most promising team on the premier League this season and if you check there record you will see that they are still unbeaten and they have win all there straight three matches while AC Milan on the other hand are less compare to Liverpool considering there performance on there local league.

So with the above analysis Liverpool is considered the best team on that match, also Real Madrid against Stuttgart, though Stuttgart can be challenging at times but not for a club like real Madrid and lastly Bayern Munich against Dinamo Zagreb will be the less toughest match on that day because Kompany is on a mission to take the club to another level on this season so Zagreb will not stand on there way.

Can’t believe the CL starts again next week. I hate the new format but no point complaining. It’s by far the most prestigious trophy to win in club football.

I will be fully behind Arne Slot and the Mighty Red Men. I think we can do well this season, who knows how far we could go. We are one of the teams capable of winning it though, with fortress Anfield on our side.

You don't worry about the new format, because Liverpool will always be ready to perform optimally. After all Arne Slot is very steady in facing his opponents. Based on the schedule, Liverpool will visit Milan headquarters and in terms of Head to Head we don't need to worry that Liverpool both at home and away are still superior. Moreover in Arne Slot hands so far we have not found any vulnerable gaps in each line. With the current squad capital, we are much more ready than any club including the host Milan.

Anfield became Milan nightmare in their last match with Liverpool.
