UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

[OcTradism]

Yes, Mourinho is indeed a great coach, but I personally don't know for sure what Mourinho is planning at Real Madrid right now. Because basically, as we know, Real Madrid's problem isn't about the players' poor skills, but rather the players are very stubborn and all want to get sorted. So, because of that, I don't think Mourinho's task will be easy at this time. Because basically, if Mourinho fails to get the players at Real Madrid to work well together, I don't think Real Madrid's performance will be able to develop optimally next season.

Mourinho is a great coach who succeeded in his career so far, especially if he is given full rights of deciding which tactics to use, and players who want to buy for the team. In two or three seasons, Jose Mourinho can boost his players to their peaks and win titles together but usually with his high ego, after about three seasons, he has conflicts with the club, owners, board members and players too.

However Real Madrid with two latest failed seasons and internal issues among star players will need a head coach like Jose Mourinho, who can quickly set up discipline in the squad and guide them toward success. Real Madrid already had many star players and only need some changes in the squad, adjustment in tactics for winning titles. The new season will be a successful one for Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho and players in the club, they work and win titles together.

Joseph Mourinho is a disciplinarian, I don't see him changing from being that way. However, knowing that he is coaching Real Madrid, he will not be too strict else the players can connive and send him packing

I first want to make it clear to you that those spoilt brat at real madrid can't try what they did to xabi Alonso on Jose Mourinho because he is a bigger shot, and he is more of a bigger name than any of the real madrid player, so they will definitely respect themselves. In addition, he is one manager that knows perfectly well how to manage players with big ego's, so I believe that he would rather build a bond with the players than having problems with them.

. I would want to see what new thing Mourinho is bring to Madrid especially in the aspect of challenging FC Barcelona who are their rival every other year.

I believe that his real madrid team will be more competitive than they have been in the past two seasons, because Jose Mourinho is a manager that can't stay for two seasons in a top team like real madrid, and will not win anything, that's near impossible. Because even in the time of the great Barcelona side that pep guardiola manages, he still manages to win the Copa del Rey and the league title the following season, so I trust him to do a good job there.

Champions of Europe on his first year back is going to be very difficult. PSG had made it clear that they want 3 in a row. And we do know for a fact that Arsenal wants that trophy more than anything so they will go at it again next season. Arsenal aren't the only team that wants to win it too. Besides it would take a while before Mourinho can instill his tactics and discipline on this set of real Madrid players that have little to no moral for coaches.  There's a strong chance that we might see plenty of drama because Mourinho is also stubborn.

It is going to be a strong contest for the trophy next season and I doubt if psg can be able to win the champions league easily because teams like Bayern Munich and real Madrid are going to put in their best to win as well. Just as you said, there might be a lot of drama cause real Madrid are going to be a challenge to a lot of times.

As a player I think Marcus Rashford has really improved and will make a very good addition to the Manchester United squad ahead of next season but the problem is is he ready to play for the club and is the club management ready to allow him represent the club again after two seasons of playing for two different clubs?
Michael Carrick I believe will make the best out of Marcus Rashford should Rashford and Manchester United management reach an agreement that'll allow Rashford play for the club next season. The summer transfer window still has almost two months before the end, we'll see how things unfold.

Marcus Rashford is certainly that player that a team like Manchester United must have, it is necessary to have him in the team also because Carrick wants a type of player like that, in attack it is essential to find someone who can do what he does so i think they will definitely sign him.

The Arab owners of PSG have invested a lot of money in the club for years and bought big stars like Mbappe, Neymar and Messi but they have never managed to win the ultimate prize, the European championship.
They only succeeded when they changed their strategy and got rid of the biggest stars.
Now PSG is a very competitive and complete team, and they are currently the best European club.
Honestly, I think they will be the main favorites to win the Champions League in the new season and their main competitor will probably be Bayern.
Manchester City, Liverpool and Real are currently in a transitional phase and the question is how competitive they will be in the next Champions League season.

Mbappe, Neymar and Messi are just players who went to that club for a sum that no sane person could ever refuse, this is what Arab teams do, they have billions to spend and can buy whatever they want, is clear that the players then accept.

The pay was attractive enough to any player that had received that offer would have accepted it, it's not the players fault, the club should have focused more on how cooperative they could be with each other instead of trying to fill their team up with big names who want to push for their own personal success and recognition, there were all amazing players, they still are but they were not right for PSG at the time and that's why the team if performing differently now.

Very soon you will discover that the Arab teams are going to the one of the top lead leagues, because they are taking every effort to buy players that are of high standards and performance, and they are getting the results, they are having almost the highest biding from among others, because they understand how it takes to make the right decision to attract positive results.

This is because they understand that after passion every footballer still wants to make money so as long as the right offer is on the table then they can get whoever they want to play for their team while others are still busy trying to make offers that they clearly know isn't worth the player, they don't understand that if they are not willing to spend to make the team better then they won't be able to generate much income from the team either.

Mourinho won't be able to hijack the champions league from the likes of Enrique and Arteta, these two are prepared for a revenge mission, Arsenal must have to find a way to do to PSG as they've done to them, although Enrique is a monster in high emotional tactical games, Mourinho could be a bit of a barrier for these two, but will get exhausted at some point, since he's battling with bringing his boys to order, these other coaches are already the emotional masters of their players, a big advantage over Mourinho.

[giorgione]

I don?t agree with this, with what Real Madrid are building I think they will problem to a lot of teams. We all know scoring goals have not been a problem for Real Madrid but defending is, now that they are fixing that I think they will be a very strong side next season.

Konate, cucurella, Dumfries and bastoni to be added will be a very hard defense to break. Also I know some quality players will be added to the team especially in that midfield.

Jose morihno is a very good coach, I believe getting the best out of these players will not be a problem to him, we have saw him done it at Real Madrid before and I believe he will do it again.

Real Madrid will cause a lot of problems for everyone, there is no doubt about this, it is still Real Madrid, those who underestimate them have not yet understood anything about European football and this team that always wins, but apart from these disastrous seasons, there will be a rebirth, it has already done it in the past and they will do it again.

So, because of that, I don't think Mourinho's task will be easy at this time. Because basically, if Mourinho fails to get the players at Real Madrid to work well together, I don't think Real Madrid's performance will be able to develop optimally next season.

So, because of that, I think Mourinho must be able to implement good discipline but must still be able to make the players at Real Madrid comfortable. Because if, for example, Real Madrid wants to have a target to chase the La Liga title and also the Champions League again, it is clear that they must be able to keep their players very disciplined. Because, fundamentally, it clearly requires a good combination of good cooperation between the players. So, we'll just have to see how it turns out next season.

these types of coaches already have their minds set on the championship, they are built differently and they are really hungry even if they have won a lot, in fact Mourinho will not stop managing the team but will change the type of play of these players who will be completely changed.

The CL winner odds are already out for next season by the way. PSG who are the champions of the last 2 years are favoured the most by bookmakers obviously. They have 6.00 odds.

Arsenal and Bayern Munich follow right behind with 7.00. Barcelona are given a higher chance than Real Madrid. Maybe because of the recent change of manager at Real Madrid.

Otherwise both of these teams were eliminated in the same stage last season...

Of course, the bookmakers will definitely make PSG the favorite because they are the defending champions after winning it back to back. Yea, Real Madrid has a better chance of winning it than Barcelona because we know that's what they're trained for if not that their performance has been very bad in the past two seasons, I don't think that PSG would have won it twice. Real Madrid will pick form next season.

Apart from those teams, there are Arsenal and Man City. I think they would also start the next season with a full-strength team. PSG have won trophies in the last two seasons and I think they set a goal and plan their plans. They spend more time to win the UCL trophy than to win trophies in other tournaments and prepare accordingly. You mentioned the potential of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. I agree with you and I also agree with you that Barcelona will prepare well. It is not easy for teams preparing for multiple trophies to keep their players physically fit. Because the matches are played on such a busy schedule that it is difficult for each team to prepare. There will be preparation for playing in each tournament but one tournament should be given more priority.

I laugh at fans who underestimate the power of rebuilding. Mourinho actually did a good signing immediately he was appointed manager of Real Madrid. But transfer windows are like gambling. The signing will look good at first, but when the season kicks off, the flaws will be there, and we will see that this team is not as strong as we expected it to be. Enrique and Arteta already have a good team that, without any extra player, will go far in the Champions League.

Is this not too early for the bookmarkers to start dropping odds of who is going to win the champions League when it hasn't started? I think they are looking for a way to make gamblers start betting early since they now that the odds are high but for me the best time to gamble on the winner should be when the games are being played so thwt through the performance of the teams you would know the team that has the ability to win. PSG may not win the champions League for the third time again, they may have the same squad but it is not going to be easy for them this time.

Mourinho is an experienced  manager. But that doesn't mean he will be successful with madrid. Mourinho has not been successful with his last three clubs. He  was a complete  failure with Roma and Fenerbahce. And then many  people say that Mourinho is not the right manager  for modern football.
Madrid are a rich club. They have a strong squad. Mourinho will get full support from  the management to strengthen the squad. Even then , I doubt that Madrid will be able to  dominate la liga next season.

Yeah your right. Jose mourinho doesn't take nonsense,he is very disciplined and won't tolerate any insolence from any of his player. They know who they can mess with but it's not definitely mourinho. Xabi was very calm and real madrid players took advantage of it but I don't think mourinho would like to work with players that would disrespect him. Mourinho is feared and respected so I think they won't disrespect him, they will work with him in the upcoming season.
However, real madrid would have an improved performance next season, Mourinho know how to build and manage players well so in the next season, barcelona will likely not win the title this time.

The new season will be a successful one for Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho and players in the club, they work and win titles together.

As one of the most accomplished managers in the world, Mourinho has built his reputation so well that he has the ability to quickly organise and improve a team's discipline so that the team can become consistent again. And no matter the kind of club he is coaching, when give the best support and players obeys and take his ideas they become unbeatable in major competitions. It's trust that his spell is the same pattern in almost every club, in his early years, he often brings success while when he stays longer in the team, there use to be disagreement especially over transfer among other issues. But that also depends on kind of club and how they really want to work with him. For Real Madrid, if there's a problem with consistency and dressing room unity, they will need a very experienced coach to restore such in the club. The club have gathered talent already they just need to have a coach that will help the team improve in consistency and also help them understand their roles in the club. The whole area of the team needs to be in unity to contend for major trophies and also in the long run thru will need to have the ability to implement their ideas on the pitch to really succeed against stronger opponents.

However, real madrid would have an improved performance next season, Mourinho know how to build and manage players well so in the next season, barcelona will likely not win the title this time.

Alonso and Arbeloa may have been calm coaches and madrid players took advantage of this. I accept that. But ancelotti also did not do well with the same squad in the previous season. After Alonso came, he tried to strengthen Madrid's defense. But madrid players did not  follow his instructions properly. As a result, the management  fired Alonso. The management gave more priority to their players.

Mourinho is an experienced manager. But if Madrid management gives more  priority to their players, their performance will not improve this season. Mourinho should be  given the  opportunity to work independently and the management should not interfere in any decision. If this happens , then there  is a possibility that madrid's performance will be consistent again and they will dominate la liga and win the title.

Hope you know that they odds for league football odds for different matches are out already and Many bettors has already starting bettinb ahead, I don't see anything wrong with what bookmakers has done, the odds are even higher presently which you said, don't you think that it will enable those that want to bet on that market to do it now that the odds are still high? it is not compulsory that the league will have to start before bookmakers put out odds, mate gambling companies are into business, you don't expect bookmakers to drop odds when the competition has already started but if anyone wants to wait until the matches start, that's a personal decision.

Real Madrid will cause a lot of problems for everyone, there is no doubt about this, it is still Real Madrid, those who underestimate them have not yet understood anything about European football and this team that always wins, but apart from these disastrous seasons, there will be a rebirth, it has already done it in the past and they will do it again.

As a Real Madrid fan, I'm delighted to hear your confidence in the club for the new season. However, I'm also realistic, despite having an experienced coach and bringing in several quality new players, I still need proof of Mourinho's efforts. The reason I say this is because PSG, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich still have strong squad depth in the Champions League. So, we'll just have to wait and see how their first matches in the competition go.

Mourinho has a great chance to prove that he is back to being truly fit, this will certainly be an important opportunity for him, being in a top club of a European championship is certainly a great opportunity, to show the world that he is back, and his ego will allow him to do great things.
