At the beginning of the season, it's very correct that every team in the league has got equal Chance at winning the trophy, but the problem always lay within the ability of utilizing that equality of opportunity that was granted at the beginning of the season till the end of the season a d been able to probably win the league title at the end of the season. E Everyone has been showing great support to Madrid because they all believe in the ability of Madrid especially in their ability to be able to bring home the champions league trophy by the end of the season, other team haven't possessed much strength enough to win the support of people just almost immediately.

When PSG had mbappe, Messi and even nymer , most persons Also gave equals support they are given this is because of the varieties of personal interest all around which has led to controversy on wanting a particular team to win the league title by the end of the season. When a team comes up with a very solid squad, it gives them that advantage to gain more support because it is believed that their chance are higher to win the league title than others even before the league kicks off, but the champions league isn't such that you can be too sure until it's over.

I understand what you mean when you say many people predicted that Paris Saint Germaine were gonna win the UEFA Champions League title the seasons they had Kylian Mbappe, Neymar Jr and Lionel Messi in the squad but never did they win the trophy through out their stay at the French club but I'll want us to put in to contest with the fact that Paris Saint Germaine never won the trophy before those three players became teammates at the club for Real Madrid, the story is different. Real Madrid before the arrival of Kylian Mbappe are already 15 times European champions and are also gonna be defending the trophy next season. So the arrival of Kylian Mbappe is not for him to help the club win a trophy they've never won before but to help the club continue their European dominance.
Real Madrid already have a very squad that are serial winners of the European Cup and will continue to win in their history. With the presence of Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid, the club's chances of winning the UEFA Champions League in seasons to come I think is now more likely.

Aha. I didn't say Madrid's odds are small. I'm only say every other team has a fair chance and this is football. When we get big upsets for Madrid in the coming UCL, I'll be here. I have nothing about the team but everyone here is hell bent on them winning. It was similar to when we had Mbappe, Messi and Neymar in PSG. Everyone was super sure that's the year PSG would win it. They didn't. Madrid has a good chance but there are more than 5 teams that can give them a run for their money. I can assure you of that.

This was just exactly the same thing Barcelona enjoyed the period of their elite team having the likes of the Mysterio "Lio Messi" the two midfield genius @xavi and iniesta and so many players who were at their prime but the only problem they had was that they didn't actually plan ahead for the future because if they had they would have carefully looked and signed all these players replacement.

Oh the thread is up.
Waiting impatiently to see how it will be the new Champions League.

Reading the new format I already hate it, the only good news is that we can see more games but it will be a shock to everyone who didn't follow the change of rules they did.

Maybe the coach that he is playing under is not being able to utilize him properly. Not everyone is Carlo Ancelotti. We have seen a lot of players not play that good for his national team but play very well for the club. Maybe that is something which is happening with Mbappe. And him not playing well in the euro also does not mean he's not going to play well with Real Madrid.

If we talk about Mbappé, I think he’s not going to have any problems adapting to the Carlo Ancelotti system. He is a good player. Probably the best in the world right now. The only thing that might be a little tricky is that the midfield of Real Madrid is going to change very soon. Kroos has retired and Luka Modrić is also going to retire soon. Maybe Ancelotti will not have the great quality that we have seen recently.

Real Madrid is not only lucky. They're smart. They build from within. They capture these rising stars like Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr., and even Mbappe. These guys are the future.

Its not just about today. Its about tomorrow. Construction of a winning tradition is the goal. You gotta respect that. Now, sure, anything can happen. Injuries, bad calls, you name it. But I know winners when I see them. And Madrid Real? They are mentally strong winners. Not just this year will they rule. Years to come, they will rule.

Adaptation is the main thing we will talk about when a player joins a club and that applies to any player, no matter whether he is a star player or not, but they definitely have to go through the adaptation process.

Mbappe is a player who has very good individual abilities, so that should be able to help him in the adaptation process that he will carry out with his current new club, Real Madrid. I hope that really happens and he can easily adapt to the team as a whole.

One of the attitudes that he must eliminate is the selfish attitude that has been a problem for him. When he was at Paris Saint Germain, he often showed that and to be honest, it really disrupted the team process as a whole. At Real Madrid he must lower his selfish attitude, because if not, it will probably be a big problem for him and even Real Madrid itself. So he has to put his own interests before the interests of the club.

Well this analysis don't seem really clear to me but my interest was caught when you mentioned allowing young people watch and play football, this leverage has a whole lot it can actually do to the young ones, one of which is them been able to choose a career part probably after building intrest in that which they have seen watching the game over time, I believe they will be able to get more encouragement to drive their passion in the career they wish to pursue in football, it may aswell ignite their passion to further push to picking a football career for those who may want to.

 The importance of coaches in the game of football is something we cannot underestimate or even think of doing without, but I'm yet to see an official age limitations to the coaching career so I believe it's not a limitation to what a coach can and will be able to do as a coach, rather they just need to be certified as a coach going by the requirements of which If they meet up with, they become coaches, I have seen very young coaches handling teams and still getting to Excel well as a coach, so they mustn't get to that very old age to be coaches but then it's also fine to have a football experience as an advantage to help their career as a coach and for them to Excel better as a coach than they would have if they don't have then football experience much before they began a career as a Coach.

The importance of adapting, the importance of adjusting to the team is a key to how a player will get his best performance and the team will be very solid because there is no egoism that surrounds them, and again real Madrid has many easy players who have a greater fighting spirit, want to be seen and are full of emotional if there is something that touches him, if it happens it will be a source of disappointment for supporters and even for managers where the players do not adapt well or have resistance with their own players.

But if indeed Mbappe can collaborate with other players and not have a high ego from the players about him it will be a very solid team and definitely a far extraordinary glory in the future.

The majority of the players owned by Madrid today are of course very young and it is possible for Madrid to have a formidable squad for the long term if indeed nothing changes in the composition of their players in the future, at the moment we cannot deny that the quality of the young squad owned by Madrid has quite reliable abilities and deserves the title of talented star player with all their skills, with still young, of course we know how their stamina can continue to last until the end of the match, besides that of course their performance, mentality and experience will increase along with the number of matches they will play later.

What Madrid and Ancelotti are doing at the moment is a very smart move in my opinion, when they continue to gather young players but still retain old players of course it will be a perfect combination in a team, Madrid's performance and also fighting power will increase when they have young players in the squad, with experience and also knowledge from old players will certainly encourage young players to develop more and be more able to make the team become Very strong later in both the domestic league and the Champions League.

yes, in fact it is important to let young people play and watch how many of them try to make space for themselves in a world like football which is really difficult, but I think it is important to also have some senators and "elderly" players who allow them to give the right advice for have the right career and I really think that the coach must be of that age

Your expression is too big on Real Madrid abilities, I think you are one of Real Madrid biggest fans who is ready to accept whatever the result is even if you have to use all your hard-earned money to place bets. But don't forget one thing, anything can happen in football, unexpected surprises can happen like what Manchester City experienced in the FA Cup final and Leverkusen in the Europa League. Manchester City will never be silent after failing in the Champions League this season, they will try to learn from their mistakes and Guardiola will continue to improve the quality of his team to give competition to Real Madrid.

Teams like Inter Milan cannot be underestimated either, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen will be ready to provide competition which means Real Madrid must always be careful when facing them. Mbappe arrival has given new enthusiasm to the Real Madrid squad, but you must not forget that events that could never have been predicted would happen in football.

There is no doubt that the old players are more experienced than the young ones, but if these young players don't continue playing to improve themselves how will they have the experience. One thing that I observed is that these young players are not just anyhow players but they are world top classic players that will put in a good performance for the club in other for them to achieve success.

A lot of superstars started at young age and they were able to make history. Also Real Madrid has an old experienced coach to help the young ones perform better on the field. Next season might become the 16th UCL trophy for them.

This is not just about expectations and not about expectations about Real Madrid so it's like worshiping the possibilities that Real Madrid will get, I agree with that, because indeed in the current team Real Madrid has a solid team and a team that is favored, in addition to the young players in addition to that they also have very good abilities and that can be developed further in the future to be much better, maybe even as you say they are a very good investment place in the long run if with this situation.

I also think the same, of the many teams currently interesting, Real Madrid is the only highlight of all the teams in my opinion, their popularity is getting higher again without Ronaldo, like returning to his glory, because previously La Liga and UCL felt lonely because the stars were no longer competing at the top, like Messi and Ronaldo during their prime.

But even so, yes we also cannot think too much, the potential for defeat must also exist and because of that we must be aware of the situation that arises in the future, because it could be that the real Madrid squad has an accident with some of its players which has the potential for their performance to decline.

In my opinion, the young players at Real Madrid are not comparable in terms of quality to the old stars, who are now almost all gone. Actually, only Modric is still there and he won't be playing much longer either, but what Real did well is that they let the young and old players play together and they were able to pass on their experience and knowledge. For this reason and because they make good transfers, I still think they are the top favorites for the CL title in the next season.

I think it's no longer about expectations, but the fact that Real Madrid is the best team for the long term. After all, Real Madrid has young players in its squad and we know that Real Madrid has always been a team that is able to retain great players for the long term. Therefore, because Real Madrid has many young players with great potential, ofcourse Real Madrid will remain at a high level from season to season. Indeed, there are still many other top teams, but stopping Real Madrid's dominance will be a difficult task for the other topteams. So yes, I think when it is said that Real Madrid is the strongest team in winning trophies, it is not an expectation, but in reality, Real Madrid has a very big chance of consistently getting trophies.

This is the champions league and this is Real Madrid we are all talking about. They are so exceptional in this champions league that they are called the kings of the champions league. They are so good that they’ve won the trophy the most in the history of the competition. The next season has a different format but I don’t still see any much changes in the stance of Real Madrid when they’re ready to play in the competition and attain another success. The champions league is indeed tough to win but Real Madrid have made it look so easy that’s they’ve won it the most. I know they’re tough times in the Champions League too and a lot of people don’t really see that though as they are just after the success to be attained by the team. The champions league will come again and Real Madrid will be amongst the top contenders for the trophy again.

It is all correct, but in my opinion Messi is quite a lot superior to Mbappe. I doubt that he will ever reach Messi's numbers no matter what club he is ever going to play for. Free kicks have almost been like penalties for Messi. That's a big difference already. Dribblings are amazing by Mbappe, but I have never seen him play 1 vs 7 and still win and score. When Messi received the ball in is own half, it was instantly a threat for the opponent because he has proven over and over again that he can go all the way and score. Legendary goal against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Legendary goal against Athletic Bilbao when he defeated like 5 or 6 players with dribblings in a small space.

Mbappe is superior when he has a lot of space and can come with his speed. But the truth is that most of the time you don't have that when you play in strong teams. Messi with his body balance and low center of gravity, and his ultimate will to never fall down is probably the best player there ever was when spaces were small. And as I said, most of the time spaces are small because the opponents mostly focus on defending. I doubt that Mbappe would ever score 50 goals in 38 games. That doesn't mean I don't love him as a player. He is incredible.

But as Ibrahimovic once said: Ronaldo is the best on planet Earth, but Messi is out of this world.

Still though in the Champions League Real Madrid will be playing against strong teams at some point and that's where Mbappe will turn into a true weapon. For example, if they were up against Manchester City, that's a team trying to control the gameplay. That means more space for Mbappe and then he is deadly.

One of the reasons why people keep discussing Madrid lately and even most of the bettors in this betting section are very confident that Madrid will be the strongest candidate team in the UCL after the arrival of Mbappe who will be a scoring machine.
But some people also think that this is an exaggeration because there is always a surprise behind the many teams competing in the UCL and I as a Madrid fan will accept that statement because I admit that maybe we are all exaggerating because previously Madrid was already a big team in the UCL only Mbappe arrival alone provides sharper strength in the attack line.
And I will also remind anyone, even though it is an exaggeration, it is a fact and anyone who doubts Madrid, at the end of the season it will be repaid with the UCL title they will get.

Of the several teams that will be the strongest challenge for Madrid, only Man City and only Guardiola team are able to put a little pressure on Madrid and it is always a tense match when these two teams compete on the field.
