UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[ILuckyGuyI]

Somehow when I see Real Madrid in the Champions League I see them more different from what I see them in La Liga. Yes they always have their own way to be able to win, no matter if they are not playing so well in La Liga. Like last season when they faced Manchester City. I am very sure that most people believe in Manchester City, but they are the ones who can win even though in terms of play they are far behind Manchester City. But their advantage is in their mentality which I think they are the best club in mentality. The players who join Real Madrid always have a very good mentality.

Yeah, Real Madrid are really different in the La Liga. They are the king of these lands.    Even in a season they look not good enough, they still find a way out.

It is like a tradition. Players change but the ecole stands tall.    This is why I always put them to the top of my title contenders list in this competition. For example, they weren't in their best shape last season. But it happened anyway. What do you say for this season?  Another similar scenario?

[rahmad2nd]

Liverpool Arne Slot,  have had quite a good starting of the season both in the Premier league game and in the European competition, however from the perspective of him being a new coach and first time managing Liverpool football club, not every new coach will start off this way in their first,  where most of the newly signed coaches use their first season to experiment tactical system that will work.

I think Arne Slot is a little bit different. Most managers usually replace old managers because they can't give good results for their clubs. The team is in bad form and the new manager has to experiment to get good tactics. This is different from Liverpool where last season Liverpool was one of the title contenders and Klopp was not fired but decided to retire because he wanted to take a break from football. Arne Slot just needed to do some improvisation and luckily Arne Slot was able to immediately get the chemistry that made Liverpool appear very solid this season.

What is clear is that Liverpool's players already understand very well the gameplay they play in every match in various competitions, so Arne Slot doesn't need to bother rebuilding like when a team experiences a drastic decline in performance. the first thing he did was study every potential of Liverpool players, that's why there was a little difference in what Arne Slot did with his team. and it seems, Arne Slot's arrival was warmly welcomed by The Red's players and they have communication that is established between one and another. bonds and chemistry began to form, so that this team was able to immediately adapt to its new coach. but after all, the League has only been running for a few weeks. in the next matches, Liverpool will meet strong opponents. especially if Liverpool is able to qualify for the last 16, at least it is progress for the coach with the team he has just handled. in fact, Liverpool did not bring in many newcomers in the summer transfer window. but so far Liverpool have played their games quite well, both in the Domestic League and in the Champions League. Well, the next few weeks will be a real challenge for Liverpool's new coach, because their opponents in the next few weeks are not easy teams to beat. Liverpool has the potential to slip, especially with a tight schedule and a strong opposing team. against Leipzig, is the second challenge after defeating Milan.

Well, I'm also a Real Madrid fan and I think the same. Of course, they are defending champions. Some teams may have made things a bit complicated, but I'm sure that they will get through it and can undoubtedly reach the final, just as many say that City can do it. Well, I think it's not such a bad thing to say, they have the team, they have the players that are making history, they are having a good moment with their national teams, so that is worth taking advantage Of course , there is still a long way to go in the UCL, but I'm sure that they can go far, why not? to a finalAgain.

Looking at teams that will make it to the finals of the champions league competitions should be on hold for now until we see their progress as teams individually on how they make their way out if the first round of the champions league competition. I know there are many teams that have that potential to make it out and we don’t need to wait to see how far the matches left for them to finish this round. But this is football, we just have to wait to see what comes of them all by the end of the round before we can picture them for the next round and possibly making it to the finals.

Somehow when I see Real Madrid in the Champions League I see them more different from what I see them in La Liga. Yes they always have their own way to be able to win, no matter if they are not playing so well in La Liga. Like last season when they faced Manchester City. I am very sure that most people believe in Manchester City, but they are the ones who can win even though in terms of play they are far behind Manchester City. But their advantage is in their mentality which I think they are the best club in mentality. The players who join Real Madrid always have a very good mentality.

The name given to them by people as the king of the champions league is really a name that is most deserving for them because of their performance and trajectories they’ve had in the champions legaue so far and also how many times they’ve won it since the inception of it. I am very confident in them whenever they play in the champions league and how they are able to go for victory no matter the condition of the team at that time. Even with this their injuries, I don’t see them less of a team that can’t win any match. They may even be in their best form now in the champions league and you’ll be surprised that they’ll make the best records in the competition until their players gets back all.

[Leviathan.007]

Besides that the quality of League 1 and Bundesliga is different and as far as I know Bundesliga is superior to League 1 so I think Leverkusen is more favored to beat Brest but still we don't know what will happen in that match because Brest also can't be underestimated in the Champions League they performed well but in the domestic league they are not so good I am also surprised and I think Brest is more focused on the match in the Champions League so Leverkusen needs to be careful when facing this club they could give a strong fight especially since they are playing as the home team.

I agree with you that the quality between Ligue 1 and Bundesliga is different and that puts Bundesliga better than Ligue 1, so it will also affect this match, so it is very natural when Leverkusen is favored to win when facing a team from Ligue 1. Although slightly declining, Leverkusen's performance is still very good, especially since they also bring great motivation after successfully becoming champions in the Bundesliga last season. This season is the most anticipated season for their performance. Many people hope they can play very well and can talk a lot in the Champions League this season. The expectations for them are high, so Xabi Alonso as a coach will also try to answer those expectations.

I see many other people they say Leverkusen is stronger than Brest because they are in a better league however they even can't have good performances in the Bundesliga like the other teams but still Leverkusen is in a different place and they are usually playing against harder teams than we usually see in the French League.
In fact, we see many strong teams in the Bundesliga while in the French League other than PSG, Monaco, and some other teams they are not strong and at the same level anymore.
This is maybe a good reason to say Leverkusen can beat Brest.

[Weawant]

We excluded Chelsea as they are not playing in the UCL this season.  So far, Arne Slot is still a hot topic after being able to become the right successor to Jurgen Klopp. Kompany also put any doubters to rest by improving Bayern Munich's quality after they suffered a slump last season under Tuchel. The competition in UCL will be more competitive after several big teams returned to their best form, on the other hand, Real Madrid is experiencing problems in its defense after several key players were injured, Ancelotti must struggle hard to balance his squad in order to defend the title won last season.

Factually kompany has actually created a really different perspective for Bayern Munich after several attempts by other coaches who has been sacked because they couldn't get Bayern Munich to maintaining the records they had in the bundesliga long enough over several years. The key players in Madrid who have been injured which has been challenging to Madrid will be a challenge in the champions League fixtures but that wouldn't be enough to really get  them to be able win Madrid just easily, it's going to be a really hard and tough one but on the end there will be a winner who gets the complete points.

Yeah, Real Madrid are really different in the La Liga. They are the king of these lands.    Even in a season they look not good enough, they still find a way out.

It is like a tradition. Players change but the ecole stands tall.    This is why I always put them to the top of my title contenders list in this competition. For example, they weren't in their best shape last season. But it happened anyway. What do you say for this season?  Another similar scenario?

If there's a club that knows how to play the UEFA Champions League, it's no other the 15 time winners of the competition Real Madrid. Like y'all are saying, they might not be too convincing in their domestic league but when it comes to playing in the UEFA Champions League, they surely know how to get the best out of themselves. The reigning Spanish and European champions are currently hit by injuries to some of the team's most important players however, with the experienced Carlo Ancelotti as the club manager, I expect them to successfully defend the UCL title at the end of the season

[Lidger]

Real Madrid had formed a strong team but injuries messed up all their plans. They bought Mbappe and released Toni Kroos from their club last season to play Jude Bellingham in midfield. Valverde has problems, so Real Madrid's plan may be different in the upcoming matches. 
Real Madrid have plenty of support players but without players on their bench who are at least as skilled as those who have performed in the starting XI in important matches, it will be challenging for them to win against any team. But the defense is still strong, so this defense is now the hope of Real Madrid.

Injury slightly made Real Madrid's power problems but over time Ancelotti tried to finish even though he had to install it not a core player. I believe he is able to solve the problem because indeed into the squad owned by Real Madrid is slightly better than other teams. But because a few matches that ended were not satisfactory, Ancelotti had to find a way to deal with these conditions.

Facing Dortmund is not easy even though Head to Head Real Madrid is still superior but now they have to really work hard so that they do not experience defeat like when facing Lille, even though if you see the opportunity Real Madrid should be able to win the match.

If Real Madrid is a strong team in the Champions League, Dortmund is definitely strong as Real Madrid's opponent. Real Madrid will definitely be ahead in the upcoming Champions League match against Dortmund, but their club has several injury problems which may cause them to perform poorly in this match. But I will still trust Real Madrid considering that last season they didn't have many good players in their club and they had injury problems last season but still they won the Champions League title. 
So I think anything is possible with Real Madrid and they have the ability to do well with a weak team.

If Real Madrid's main strikers are not sidelined due to injury problems, Real Madrid may be as strong as ever against any team. Yesterday Real Madrid faced Celta Vigo in La Liga as they continued their winning streak. However, their team captain was absent in that match due to injury, but they won the match easily. Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham have been linked with Real Madrid but Brazilian young player Rodrigo has not been linked with the team. Yet his absence was never felt by Real Madrid yesterday as both Mbappe and Vinicius Junior scored a goal apiece to send their team to victory.

Borussia Dortmund have entered this season's UEFA Champions League as one of the best teams as they have already won their first two matches to top the standings. On the other hand, Real Madrid is 17th in the standings with just one win. According to the current statistics, Real Madrid is leading between these two teams.

[fruktik]

Speaking in the future we will not know what will happen to Liverpool because it is difficult to anticipate when speaking of problems in the future, but some things can be anticipated from now on, whether it's injury or anything, because the occurrence of injury sometimes due to negligence In the players themselves and the understanding of the coach to the players, then to make bad things can be overcome before there is a need for deeper precautions so that the players do not experience injury, yes even though it could be violated by the enemy team intentionally on the match or the match , the most important thing is not because of the negligence of the player himself, making one of them experience injury.

How can you predict an injury to a specific player? I somehow didn't get the gist of this reasoning. Or am I missing something? Even if a specific player has a special intention to harm someone specific. No one will give you such information, since this is a secret part of the strategy of the entire team and coaching staff.

Unfortunately, we are only given the ability to guess events and nothing more. Pure chance, if possible. Therefore, we need to approach this issue more factorially.

Currently for Kompany has given a new situation for Munich playing with the ball and making a very dangerous attacking style he has a good strategy at the moment, in the Bundesliga he can optimize it well but talking about the Champions League his strategy is not so effective and I think they will not be there this year, because the competition of players and especially the Coach in determining Kompany's strategy is still behind and I think Kompany still needs time to launch everything facing Barcelona will be proof of how far he is able to contribute this season for Munich.

Real Madrid is indeed not in good condition their players are injured and at the moment I see they have not worked optimally and found each other and that takes a process and I think losing some players does not have much effect on them but on the contrary they must be able to optimize each other because at the moment they are not enough as a team.

[Xcode7]

If Real Madrid is a strong team in the Champions League, Dortmund is definitely strong as Real Madrid's opponent. Real Madrid will definitely be ahead in the upcoming Champions League match against Dortmund, but their club has several injury problems which may cause them to perform poorly in this match. But I will still trust Real Madrid considering that last season they didn't have many good players in their club and they had injury problems last season but still they won the Champions League title. 
So I think anything is possible with Real Madrid and they have the ability to do well with a weak team.

In the continued Champions League match that will bring together Real Madrid and Dortmund, this will be a beautiful match to remember the previous moment they were quite stable in the match they were facing, nothing was lacking Real Madrid has the advantage of a luxurious squad only Carvajal who came out as a starter and the others are still capable so in my opinion this is an important match for Real Madrid in getting points especially the advantage of playing at home and what we need to know Dortmund is currently quite good at attacking and that must be anticipated by them Real Madrid if they fail to win then Dortmund will be able to be on top well.

Subtly I am not sure Real Madrid will play well and win this match because Dortmund has been quite solid lately and I think they will go with a good mentality to Real Madrid's headquarters especially since Real Madrid is not in good condition so they can or have the opportunity to destroy them because Real Madrid is not in very good condition at the moment.

Their experience in the champions league is one that isn't in doubt and we know that, factually if we are to make classifications, it wouldn't be wrong to have them as the most experienced in the champions league in modern club football but that doesn't keep them away from the fact that they will still be able to make some mistakes and suffer some losses at some points when they aren't in their best of form. Carlo Ancelotti is a blessing to the team additionally to the bulk of talent they have got there but currently they arent in the best shape you can think of them.

The expectations for them are high, so Xabi Alonso as a coach will also try to answer those expectations.

Both teams played very well in the Champions League but if you look at the opponents I don't think it's tougher than Leverkusen because this club is facing clubs that usually compete in the Champions League so I think Leverkusen will beat Brest no matter what or at worst get a draw.
For the chances themselves Leverkusen has odds @1.50 as a club playing away I think that's a pretty good chance to bet on but we also need to be prepared if there is a surprise Brest itself has pretty high odds as a club playing at home that is @6.40.

In addition to Carvajal, they will also be without Kroos, who has ended his playing career, so there will be some changes for Real, and Dortmund will have many more changes, and the most significant will concern their coach, without Terzic, they are a different team. But despite all the changes both in the final and in this match, I think there is no doubt that Real is stronger than Dortmund, although Dortmund's attack looks better now, and Real's defense has some problems, I still give preference to Real and I think they will win again.

[Frankolala]

Somehow when I see Real Madrid in the Champions League I see them more different from what I see them in La Liga. Yes they always have their own way to be able to win, no matter if they are not playing so well in La Liga. Like last season when they faced Manchester City. I am very sure that most people believe in Manchester City, but they are the ones who can win even though in terms of play they are far behind Manchester City.

Yeah, Real Madrid are really different in the La Liga. They are the king of these lands.    Even in a season they look not good enough, they still find a way out.

It is like a tradition. Players change but the ecole stands tall.    This is why I always put them to the top of my title contenders list in this competition. For example, they weren't in their best shape last season. But it happened anyway. What do you say for this season?  Another similar scenario?

Real Madrid are only much concerned about winning Champions League, and that is why you see them doing everything possible to make sure that they remain in the competition till the semifinals, or the finals. This is why I don't get worried over their performance, because they will definitely go far in this league. Whatever performance that they put up in the group stage, is not the same performance they will display when the knock out stage starts. Ancelotti understands how to go about his matches in UCL to see that he wins the important matches.

[Odusko]

Well, I'm also a Real Madrid fan and I think the same. Of course, they are defending champions. Some teams may have made things a bit complicated, but I'm sure that they will get through it and can undoubtedly reach the final, just as many say that City can do it. Well, I think it's not such a bad thing to say, they have the team, they have the players that are making history, they are having a good moment with their national teams, so that is worth taking advantage Of course , there is still a long way to go in the UCL, but I'm sure that they can go far, why not? to a finalAgain.

Somehow when I see Real Madrid in the Champions League I see them more different from what I see them in La Liga. Yes they always have their own way to be able to win, no matter if they are not playing so well in La Liga. Like last season when they faced Manchester City. I am very sure that most people believe in Manchester City, but they are the ones who can win even though in terms of play they are far behind Manchester City. But their advantage is in their mentality which I think they are the best club in mentality. The players who join Real Madrid always have a very good mentality.

This is more like an already established stuff in them, they make the best out of every situation they find themselves and give more priority to the champions league competition. Kings of the champions league they are are called for a reason and that reason is indisputable. They have had the highest cup in the competition and I don’t think any team have come closer to them so far. They are the perfect team I usually take as example of teams that perform differently in different competitions due to the nature of each competition and how they prioritize one above the other. You can’t use their performance in one of the competitions to judge them for the other one, when you do so, you’ll be misled and they’ll come at you when you least expected it. Even when their performance in the champions league is one of a kind, they’re still favourite for the La Liga every season. This club is just too good to even think less of them. Let us see how far they can come in this season’s champions league.

Ancelotti understands how to go about his matches in UCL to see that he wins the important matches.

I don't think they will get to semi-final or final in this UEFA champion league if they continue with this attitude of injury in some of their players, and if they want to repeat what happened last season to get to semi-final or final in UEFA champions league, they should make sure all their player avoid injury in this tournament. There are many teams that will stop Real Madrid not to step to semi-final in this UEFA champion league because they have signed good players that will help them to withstand Real Madrid and other strong teams.

Have you watch Barcelona, Manchester, Inter and Liverpool this season? If you have watch their game, you will know that they will make this UEFA champion league difficult for Real Madrid to maintain good position in the table.

[lizarder]

Yes because Real Madrid's performance is good and because of that they have won a lot of matches and set their standards.They are well liked and people bet on them and this team does not disappoint people.If they play hard and strong, they can beat Dortmund too. However, Real Madrid is strong and will play and win matches against them. Real Madrid also knows this because they are in a good position at the moment. If they lose to him, they will have to lose quite a match. Due to which Real Madrid will suffer a lot, they will definitely win this match.

Don't forget that at this time Real Madrid lost some important players in the squad and even they had to defeat in the previous match in the Champions League when facing Lille. Facing Dortmund will be much more difficult and Real Madrid can't make mistakes if you want to win the match. Efforts to play more effectively need to be shown by Real Madrid players because Dortmund also will not let them get full points.

Dortmund also did not appear so consistently this season and their strength is not much better than Real Madrid but that does not mean that Dortmund will let Real Madrid get a victory easily. Real Madrid was benefited because the match took place at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium so that the pressure would be much greater for Dortmund.

If there's a club that knows how to play the UEFA Champions League, it's no other the 15 time winners of the competition Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti is a blessing to the team additionally to the bulk of talent they have got there but currently they arent in the best shape you can think of them.

Ancelotti experience and ability to find solutions to Madrid problems is of course undoubted, so that with the consistency and mentality their have when playing in European competitions of course it is a good capital to be able to win the UCL again, we cannot deny that player injuries are the main problem at the moment for Madrid, but reportedly in the near time these players have been able to play except for Carvajal who may indeed be absent until end season, In addition to the last few games we can see how Ancelotti rotates players and makes them still look very stable, so although Madrid have struggled now and is not in the best form, but with the combination of experience, talent and leadership of Ancelotti, of course they remain one of the favorites to win the UCL this season.

[Lidger]

Real Madrid had formed a strong team but injuries messed up all their plans. They bought Mbappe and released Toni Kroos from their club last season to play Jude Bellingham in midfield. Valverde has problems, so Real Madrid's plan may be different in the upcoming matches.  
Real Madrid have plenty of support players but without players on their bench who are at least as skilled as those who have performed in the starting XI in important matches, it will be challenging for them to win against any team. But the defense is still strong, so this defense is now the hope of Real Madrid.

Injury slightly made Real Madrid's power problems but over time Ancelotti tried to finish even though he had to install it not a core player. I believe he is able to solve the problem because indeed into the squad owned by Real Madrid is slightly better than other teams. But because a few matches that ended were not satisfactory, Ancelotti had to find a way to deal with these conditions.

Facing Dortmund is not easy even though Head to Head Real Madrid is still superior but now they have to really work hard so that they do not experience defeat like when facing Lille, even though if you see the opportunity Real Madrid should be able to win the match.

If Real Madrid is a strong team in the Champions League, Dortmund is definitely strong as Real Madrid's opponent. Real Madrid will definitely be ahead in the upcoming Champions League match against Dortmund, but their club has several injury problems which may cause them to perform poorly in this match. But I will still trust Real Madrid considering that last season they didn't have many good players in their club and they had injury problems last season but still they won the Champions League title.  
So I think anything is possible with Real Madrid and they have the ability to do well with a weak team.

If Real Madrid's main strikers are not sidelined due to injury problems, Real Madrid may be as strong as ever against any team. Yesterday Real Madrid faced Celta Vigo in La Liga as they continued their winning streak. However, their team captain was absent in that match due to injury, but they won the match easily. Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham have been linked with Real Madrid but Brazilian young player Rodrigo has not been linked with the team. Yet his absence was never felt by Real Madrid yesterday as both Mbappe and Vinicius Junior scored a goal apiece to send their team to victory.

Borussia Dortmund have entered this season's UEFA Champions League as one of the best teams as they have already won their first two matches to top the standings. On the other hand, Real Madrid is 17th in the standings with just one win. According to the current statistics, Real Madrid is leading between these two teams.

Real Madrid have always thought of building a team that as strong as their starting XI is, they also need to strengthen their bench because if more than one player from the starting XI is injured, the bench players can take the place of that player. I always respect this thought of Real Madrid. Real Madrid were without a striker after Karim Benzema left and we thought they would not improve until they could recruit quality players but last season they proved us wrong by winning the Champions League title.
Expectations are always high for Real Madrid, so we cheer for Real Madrid's victory and like other seasons, we expect Real Madrid to do well this season.
