I doubt that Ancelotti will maximize anything more next year than he did ever before in his career because this is his last year. He didn't hold back last year, it was just not their time and there was a team that was better than them. It didn't happen to them for the first time. But it could set free some extra motivation within the team in the big games, having in the back of their heads that this is the last year for Ancelotti. But yes, they are a title candidate regardless of who the coach is and how old the coach and when he will stop coaching is of course.

You are right, but I think that there are also come clubs that can also be considered. Barca is also there,no matter that they gave financial problem,I think that they are still in a better position to reach the semifinals. Real Madrid is more favorite to win UCL next season because the club will come up with every strategy to make sure the stay outstanding. Man City might not be lucky anymore to win it back to back because changes is constant and they wouldn't put much seriousness compared to how they did this year. Bayern Munich is another great club but we can't say much on them presently due to their poor performance last season.

It would be intriguing to include Manchester City in the list of the strongest teams currently. I believe City has an equal chance of winning the UEFA Champions League next season, just like any other team. It seems that all teams are actively engaged in player acquisitions during this transfer window, busy building their squads for the upcoming season.

As a football enthusiast, I consider Manchester City as a potential candidate for the Champions League title in the next season. My reasoning is quite simple: the presence of Guardiola is a significant factor in why they are favorites. Since his arrival in 2016, he has transformed City from an ordinary team into Champions League winners for the first time. With the current squad at his disposal, I believe he can do it again. Pep himself has a contract until 2025, and there have been no indications thus far that he will stop coaching City in the upcoming season.

On the contrary, the situation with Real Madrid is different. Ancelotti is currently being linked with the Brazilian national team, although this is uncertain. Nonetheless, even trivial matters like rumors and speculations can influence the mentality and preparedness of a team to navigate the upcoming season. In summary, Manchester City's potential for success in the Champions League next season is backed by Guardiola's presence, his track record with the team, and the stability provided by his ongoing contract.

City had a great season, but still the treble (although no one will remember it later in history) has a touch of bitterness - there was nothing epic about it. Titles become historic when they are won against an equally great opponent which is at the top of its game. Who was good last season besides City? Liverpool is a joke. Bavaria - clowns. PSG - circus big top. Barcelona is a Europa League team. Inter - 12 defeats in Serie A. Real - a team that Mbappe deceived like a child, etc. In fact, City took the title that was lying on the road and no one was good enough to compete for it.

It is true that as you say Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are the best clubs in recent seasons and most respected by opponents. Especially for Manchester City they just made history last season. but I've always believed that the Champions League is very tough for Manchester City to maintain consistent performance to continue to be consistent, because that's not an easy thing. With the exception of Real Madrid, who have won the Champions League three times in a row, apart from that, no other club has been able to defend the Champions League title.

Moreover, Manchester City is now selling a lot of important players, in contrast to Real Madrid, which is building a luxury squad. So for me, if I were asked to choose the favorite to win the season from the three clubs, I would choose Real Madrid in first place to win the UCL Trophy next season.

Bayern I can understand because they are getting into a new thing with Tuchel and all, which means that it may not be that simple and I can see that. But Real is on the verge of becoming maybe (possibly) the best team we have ever seen in a long long time. These guys are trying to get Mbappe this summer, they may or they may not, or maybe they will get him next season. If they can do that, between the amazing midfield they have, and the great defense they have, they will have an unbelievable level wingers and striker as well.

There is really no way that any team could beat a real team with Mbappe on their roster. Ancelotti might be gone, there are talks about that, they will need a great manager to see through that team as well, it might be very valuable.

How can a club or should rest to be the best club? If Manchester City has to rest, then Manchester City doesn't play or what?
Not sure about that, because even though the competition will still be tough, that doesn't mean Manchester City doesn't have a chance to reach the final and win a trophy. Because after all, every club has the best way to be able to maintain their good performance from last season to next season. But indeed, the candidates for the Champions League title in this era will of course always be filled by big clubs, because at this moment a team that has good management and squad certainly has a good chance to be able to go further in this Champions League.

It's too soon to draw solid conclusions about these football colossi. The summer transfer window just sprang open, enabling infinite outcomes. Enhancing their front line? Quite feasible! Agree, Real Madrid roping in Joselu isn't the antidote to their post-Benzema puzzle. He's able, but does he mirror Benzema? Nope. And Bayern Munich stepping into Lewandowski's boots is like trying to switch a lion with a pet cat! As for the Haaland angle, even amidst a stronger midfield, the chances of outdoing Ronaldo are slim. Its not a goal marathon, it's about the quality and the timing, agreed?

Real madrid has been losing its best striker. The new strikler is not so promising for real madrid. Even though it's too early to judge the performance from joselu but he was playing at espanyol before. He needs to adapt with the situation in UCL.
It's caused by playing in UCL will give him very big pressure to win the game. That makes a lot of people skeptical with real madrid next season. Even though real has bellingham that has come to the club but that's not enough.
Benzema has been regularly making a lot of goals for real madrid while this is joselu's time to prove how worthy he was playing for real madrid.

I can't even wait joselu's performance in UCL next season. He will be blamed by so many people if he will not able to perform so well for real madrid.
It has been reported if real madrid is still looking for a new striker but i dunno whether this was true or not since perez said if joselu has become last recruitment by madrid this season.

If we consider Real Madrid then of course, they always have a good chance to be a candidate for title-winning team. What's more, next season is Ancelotti's last season at Real Madrid, so it is likely that Ancelotti will maximize this opportunity to be able to bring Real Madrid to the Champions League trophy. Indeed, to achieve a goal or a sweet and good ending is not easy, but because Real Madrid and Ancelotti have good qualities then of course they might be able to achieve that goal.

For a while Manchester City can still be considered the best club in the world. Because when talking about next season, I think that not only Real Madrid have high-achieving players in their team, but Manchester City also still have high-achieving players in their team so they will also continue to prove to the world that they are still the best on the European stage. Although it is true that Real Madrid still has to watch out for its rivals in the next season because a club like Real Madrid always has the desire to recover as soon as possible after experiencing an unsatisfactory performance last season.

Its seems still difficult for predicting which one favorite teams winning Champion League next season because all teams participants still not has completed progress with summer transfer window. For Manchester City, its seems not really as favorite teams actually after leaving by Gundogan as most influential player winning Champion League tittle in this season. City has another bad rumor with Bernando Silva will move to PSG next season and make them loss many important player who helped winning Champion League tittle.

Real Madrid and PSG still not busy on summer window transfer, but Madrid has better condition than Bayern after success signing Jude Bellingham from Dortmund and Bayern still waiting for announcement for signing new center forward.

I think Real Madrid fell of badly as they couldn't even maintain first place in Laliga and Barcelona has step up their tactics and experience last season, they should be among the team that I expect to make changes in the Champions League. As for Bayern Munich, they are over rated Bundesliga, nothing more about them, they couldn't do much last season in UCL and their domestic league was won by luck, by now Dortmund will be the discussion here but still I expect them to perform exclusively in the Champions league after the summer and I for Manchester City, they should rest, the next UCL is not for them.

Manchester City was actually the main favorite to win the Champions League, along with PSG and Real, for the last 5-6 years, but they failed to win the title before, not because of a lack of quality, but because of a lack of luck.
I think that the situation will not change much next season and that Manchester City and Real will again be the main favorites to win the Champions League, and one or more new footballers in the team will not change that much.
On the other hand, if Mbappe leaves PSG after Messi this season, then I no longer consider them one of the favorites to win the Champions League next season.
Their Arab owners spent a lot of money on Mbappe, Neymar and Messi but without concrete results in the Champions League. Apparently something went wrong in their plan.

Whatever will be Paris Saint Germain's decision and who will be their manager in the new season, they must be ready to accept it, including from the style of play or something else. But until now, rumors about Paris Saint Germain's coaching have not been confirmed with certainty, they still seem to be considering very carefully who they will undergo this 2023/2024 season.

But apart from all that, I want to see new colors from them in various ways, because from what I have seen from them over the years it seems that they are still the same and there are no significant changes even though they have many players who have popular names. .

For me Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern munich are the 3 strongest football teams in the world in the last few years and therefore they are always among the top favorites to win the Champions League before the start of the season.
This time though it is not sure yet how strong Real Madrid a d especially Bayern Munich will really be, because both teams still need to make some important transfers in order to strenghthen their sqads. Real has already signed Bellingham while has not made any big transfer yet.

Not only some of PSG's players will change significantly. Even the management style of the team could change that much depending on who they will sign as their new coach. Luis Enrique has been the name who people have talked about the most lately. But as far as I know the talks haven't still reached a serious level between the sides yet.

PSG boss should take a fact into account that this big change will absolutely happen if he decides upon Luis Enrique. Because he likes a slow ball possession game more than the system PSG have used for years. But this isn't a very appropriate system for their best player who is Mbappe. The decision should be made thinking of all variables if they want to win the Champions League title finally.

Manchester City's performance last season was absolutely incredible and superb. They had a great season which they won the prestigious treble and that's they're currently seen as the best club in the world.
However, I think it is too early for bookmakers to back them to retain the European title come next season when the summer transfer window isn't yet over. Real Madrid has Jude Bellingham which brings more quality to their already intimidating midfield and if they can sign another prolific striker that can be capable enough to fill in the boots of Karim Benzema then I think Madrid will be the club to look out for come next season

It is too early to make sure about Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Because it hasn't been even much time since we entered the summer transfer window. There is a long time period ahead of the teams to make their signings and be prepared for the Champions League journey. Until finding out the final version of their squads it is difficult to be confident about something.

Both of these teams are likely to sign a solid centre-forward in the summer for example. Real Madrid have signed Joselu of course but I don't think they will rely on him after Benzema's departure. Bayern Munich must have also understood that they can't do much thing in this tournament without filling Lewandowski's place with a player who has a similar role.

Even only a centre-forward transfer can make a big change for both of these teams about achieving their goals.

The last champion always starts the race as the favourite. Manchester City now have a psychological advantage. I am sure they will make the most of this advantage. However, it is clear what they have to do to win this trophy again.

The PSG starting 11 will change drastically next season. Messi and Ramos left the team. Neymar's situation is critical in my opinion. Even Mbappe can surprise. I think PSG are not among the favorite teams in this cup anymore. Liverpool are out of the Champions League as they finished the season so poorly. I think Real Madrid, Manchester City, Arsenal and Barcelona will be the favorites of this cup next season.
