I don't understand what you mean, even though I said that Atletico was only a finalist without ever winning a title, it should be clear that Atletico has never won a champions league title. I know that Ronaldo has always been Atletico's nightmare, especially if you remember the incident between Atletico and Juventus. At that time, Atletico was ahead on aggregate with 2 goals but was answered with 3 goals by Ronaldo, who at that time had moved to Juventus.

This team was just unlucky even though they played really well from the start and didn't play hard until they reached that round. Moreover, their defeat in the 2014 final against Real Madrid was a defeat that was very difficult for Atletico to forget.

In fact, Atletico has started to let go of dependence on its veteran players, but not all of them immediately and they have slowly entrusted each line with the newest generation. So I think it's still in the process of transition since a few years ago.

Since the 2017/2018 season, there has not been a team that is as capable as Real Madrid. No team has been able to return to winning the UCL in a row. Only Bayern Munich and Ajax in the year have been going on for a long time. Bayern Munich winning in 1974, 1975, 1976 and Ajax winning in 1971, 1972, 1973.

Of course, with the arrival of stars like Mbappe and Endrick, I think Ancelotti is trying to defend the UCL Title. With a good financial condition, Madrid has a great opportunity to build a stronger team for next season.

Leverkusen is one of the teams that will appear in the Champions League next season, Leverkusen is one of the teams that is eagerly awaited for their performance, because the good performance they have been able to show this season has made many people wonder whether they will be able to do the same, or instead they will experience a completely unexpected decline.
Leverkusen must be prepared to prove that they can also be consistent in maintaining the performance they have shown this season under the coaching of Xabi Alonso, because if they cannot perform well then perhaps the narrative that what they have achieved this season is due to luck will be increasingly heard . So, Xabi Alonso must answer that their success this season is not solely due to luck, but indeed the performance of his team is so good that they can achieve great success. This must be a motivation for Leverkusen.

Exactly with Mbappe, Real Madrid will be very strong next season because he is a key player that every club wants. Ancelotti expects to win another trophy with Madrid next season since Barcelona, who can fight with Madrid, has not yet purchased any players. Let's see how the next season will start if Real Madrid will get another opportunity to win the Champions League because they won the trophy without Mbappe, and now that Mbappe is in Real Madrid, he has given Madrid another opportunity to win the Champions League title, but it won't be easy because many clubs are now buying players and they will compete with Madrid in the Champions League next season, and Guadiola will like to get the trophy next season because if they meet Madrid he will be hard for Madrid to overtake them but with Mbappe they have get the motivation to defeat them.

When a team succeeds in winning any trophy which happens to be a major one, it's expected of the team to do their best in other to retain that trophy again. I'm football, it's believed that it's easier to win a trophy than to retain it because after winning a trophy, every other opponents you'll face in your quest to retain it will definitely know more about the tactics that helped you win which in response will do anything possible to stop you from conquering again. Real Madrid won the UEFA Champions League title in the just concluded season and now, many people especially fans of the Spanish giants are expecting them to successfully defend the trophy come next season.
The club confirmed the signing of France superstar Kylian Mbappe as a free agent after he left his former club Paris Saint Germaine at the end of last season and because of the prolificity of the France national team captain who's been the top scorer in French league for past six seasons, the expectations of Real Madrid fans  have significantly improved.

Every team who got to win a trophy in the last season usually have a goal of defending the trophy they won and a chance to maintain the track record of retaining the trophy, few seasons back Madrid created history as they won the champions league title Three times in a row and somehow if they succeed in winning the champions league again in the new season, they may be on track to recreating a record the once hard and again for the second time they will be the only team with the highest champions league trophy record in the history of the champions league.

Having the PSG start to the Madrid squad ahs over the time brought about various speculations in the media about the improved strength expected of Madrid due to this particular signing and it has eve further caused so many stare that most persons confidently say the believe Madrid will win the champions league title again which I don't see to be impossible but still I wouldn't jump on the bandwagon of absoluteness at the chances Madrid has got, knowing what football can be, when the expected turns out the unexpected and several other things too can happen.

Even though Simeone have not won the champions league, it is not a problem for Atletico Madrid management because they see that he is doing his job very well and keeping the club performance to be consistent in the Champions League. A time will come for Atletico Madrid to win the champions league because Simeone will keep on having more experience as time passes on.

Champions league is not as easy as domestic league where all clubs knows the weakness of the other or they are use to their game pattern. The champions league is something far different from that. It is difficult these days to see a good coach that will lead a club to success in just one season, so Simeone is the best coach for Atletico Madrid and with time, he will win trophies.

So far Diego Simeone can be good at bringing Atletico Madrid to the Champions League, but in my opinion they are just not too lucky to win the Champions League. Several times they succeeded in being in the final, but they had to fail to become champions. Simeone can also be said to be quite consistent in maintaining Atletico Madrid's performance, even though they experienced several declines, but in my opinion their decline was a normal decline and not too significant.

Atletico Madrid have trusted Diego Simeone for a very long time, they are not too hasty in making the decision to fire Diego Simeone and sign a new coach. It seems like they also don't want to take risks, because even if they change their coach, it doesn't guarantee that they will be able to perform better or maybe they will even perform worse. Atletico Madrid does not want to be careless in making decisions.

Their main target is definitely to defend the title, especially the Champions League title they won this season. That is a very realistic target for them considering they have a very good squad now, especially by bringing in Mbappe, it complements their shortcomings on the front line.
Mbappe, who during his time at Paris Sait Germain has not yet tasted a title, will certainly aim for the Champions League title with Real Madrid. Maybe it's true that it won't be easy, but if we compare the chances of him getting the Champions League title with Real Madrid, his chances are much greater than the chances of winning the Champions League with Paris Saint Germain.
He can complete that next season because Real Madrid is now in the first place on the list which in my opinion has a big chance of winning the Champions League next season.

It seems very difficult to predict what will happen to Atletico Madrid in the 2024-2025 season, but it looks like Atletico Madrid will have good potential in the next season, namely 2024-2025, as long as Diego Simeone can learn from his experience. the season has just ended and of course I remember when in the quarter-final leg 1 of the season that had just ended Atletico Madrid managed to beat Dortmund but unfortunately in the quarter-final leg 2 Atletico Madrid lost and in my opinion next season there is definitely the potential for Atletico Madrid to perform better in the UCL as long as Atletico Madrid brings in good players and Simeone learns from experience.

Yes, it's a shame that Atletico Madrid has never won the UCL so far, even though as far as I remember, Atletico Madrid has advanced to the final 3 times, but it seems like luck has not been on Atletico Madrid's side. Yes, this should be a lesson so that next season Atletico Madrid can be even better than last season. Indeed, if you look at the current strong teams, they continue to upgrade their players and of course make their squad even stronger, for example, like Real Madrid, even though they already have a strong squad, Real Madrid is never satisfied. make their team even better. And of course this will make it difficult for other teams to become champions, including Atletico Madrid.

But of course I think Simeone has done his job well and of course I think Atletico Madrid only needs to bring in good players, so I believe Atletico Madrid has the potential to advance to the final and of course it is not impossible to become champions. upcoming season.
Yes, let's see what happens with Atletico Madrid.

This means emphasizing that Atletico Madrid does not need trophies and their management seems to fully trust Simeone to stay at Atletico Madrid as well as Simeone doesn't seem interested in coaching other teams that might have the potential to get trophies compared to being a coach at Atletico Madrid, if you look at it. The statistics are that this team makes it very difficult for almost all opponents, both in the domestic league and also in European competitions such as the UCL, that's why not all great teams underestimate their strength on the field.

Even Madrid admits that this team is a complicated team, sometimes in every meeting Madrid also suffers defeat against Atletico Madrid, that's why Simeone continues to stay because maybe he believes that one day he can bring Atletico Madrid lots of trophies in the following season, no matter Whether it's Laliga or UCL, they just play as they should under Simeone. Every game they never change, but every season they always grow stronger and are always a team that makes it difficult for all opponents.

There will be no changes for Atletico Madrid. Diego Simeone is more than satisfied with qualifying for the quarterfinals and semifinals in the upcoming champion league.

Check out Diego's statistics with Atletico Madrid below.



Diego Simeone's lowest result came when Atletico Madrid finished fifth. This also demonstrates Simeone's competency in managing the club. Atletico Madrid is also a regular participant in the UCL. There is no doubt if Atletico Madrid trusts him as a long-term coach.
Simeone may never be dismissed by Atletico Madrid. Despite the fact that ATM rarely won the competition, the club has constantly performed admirably under his leadership. Diego has only won La Liga once since joining Atletico Madrid.

That is enough to explain why Atletico will not fire him.

So, that Real Madrid real performance and it can't be denied, but unfortunately when Mbappe joined Real Madrid there were various rumors about the departure of several other important players, so hopefully things like this are just rumors and don't become reality.
Now they are very perfect, there are various very great young players with potential that is truly beyond the limits of players in general, by taking advantage of conditions like this, Ancelotti will definitely become coach who is filled with ease in achieving success with Real Madrid.
I think Real Madrid will start to return to the way it was few season ago, Mbappe presence will be like the presence of Ronaldo who is Real Madrid sharpest goal machine, if in the long term perhaps these young players can be like the Real Madrid players who preceded them.
They will get more UCL titles and there will be many opportunities to win La Liga in row.

Yes, and what great is that they were able to win the UCL title with so many young players, this means that Real Madrid, which is full of young players, can have more experience and improve their winning mentality in the future.
Don't expect big things from Barcelona as long as they remain the same as this, chances are they will only play well in the La Liga and be less significant in the UCL title race.

But that is the hope, when the final belongs to Real Madrid and Manchester City then this could be very fierce match, the English giants will fight with the Spanish giants, this is match that is highly anticipated if it can actually come true.

The hope is that, with Mbappe, Real Madrid will at least be able to defend two trophies, namely the Champions League and La Liga next season. There is no doubt about Mbappe quality, he is one of the best at the moment. Joining Real Madrid will give him better support than he ever got at PSG. Real Madrid front line will be sharper, Mbappe will be plotted as a center forward, even though it seems forced. Sure enough, last season without Mbappe in the squad, Real Madrid was able to win three trophies, with Mbappe they have the opportunity to win more. Florentino Perez succeeded in building the Los Galacticos era volume three, Ancelotti was very lucky because he had the best players in his squad.

Has something changed again or are you confused? As I understand it, these are ordinary pots for a draw, during which participants of two large groups will be determined. Competitions within these two groups will be held according to the Swiss system, and only then the best teams from both groups will advance to the playoffs, where everything will continue in the old format.

I don't want Liverpool to be in pot one because they'd most likely be seeded against some of the best teams in Europe. As a team that only just got a new coach, I'd prefer if Liverpool gets into a group with some underdogs and maybe 1 top tier team. If Liverpool ends up in a really tough group , I doubt  they'd be able to make second place. Well, we'd have to wait until the new Liverpool team under Arne slot plays before we can predict whether or not, they'd go far in the UCL.

Pot 3 and 4 looka really good.

Mostly what have been done is speculations and not an outright predictions, I'm sure everyone who's conversant with football will know very well that at this time, you cannot be very certain about the strength of a team enough to start making predictions, you can only make speculations due to the kind of signings you see that a particular team gets to make within this period of time, most team LS may actually not even be able to make good signing due to financial challenges but it still not enough to look at them any less while others may make signings and still not be good enough.

Madrid is still be a good team even with all the rumours and speculations of happenings around the team but I believe they shouldn't take any other team for granted because all of these if they eventually happen, it will only expose certain weakness around them and make other team see advantage over them when t hey get to meet in any fixture. Even Manchester city will still have some good strength too, their coach will be with them one more season after which we can't be certain if he's still going to be part of the Manchester city team but certainly will be in the coming season.

Real Madrid without Kylian Mbappe was still one of the best teams in Europe because even in the absence of a top 9 striker, the club manager Carlo Ancelotti improvised a new formation that was good enough to help them score goals and win games. However, the acquisition of Kylian Mbappe to the team will make them become more potent than they've ever been. Kylian Mbappe is one player that scores a lot of goals and causes so much panic to the opposing defense of whichever team he's facing with his pace, dribbling and shooting skills. I strongly believe that Real Madrid will be almost unstoppable with his arrival at the club
Real Madrid only win the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga title and the UEFA Champions League title in the concluded season but with the presence of Kylian Mbappe at the club, I think the Spanish team will win more trophies next season

Indeed, without Mbappe, Real Madrid can be successful, like this season they succeeded in getting their 15th UCL trophy, but did you know that before getting this trophy, Real Madrid had difficulty scoring goals. I mean, they very rarely achieve big wins in both Laliga and UCL League because Real Madrid doesn't have a striker who can consistently score goals. However, with the presence of Mbappe, the percentage of winning many trophies next season increases, both in Laliga, Copa del Rey and UCL.

Yes. Now the burden on Real Madrid, especially Mbappe, is very heavy for next season. If he is unable to defend the UCL League trophy, Mbappe will become the object of ridicule from the supporters. It is possible that Mbappe's self-confidence will decrease if he fails to defend the Laliga trophy and the UCL League trophy. However, if you look at the squad he currently has, I think Mbappe can give his best for Real Madrid, I can't wait to see Mbappe's first goal for Real Madrid.

It's a pot of kings and it does have a high probability of qualifying for the next phase so naturally enough it will be very scary
But indeed for the drawing later I hope there is a hell group again where in the last 2 seasons we have always been presented with a group that is indeed quite crazy because it is difficult to predict who will qualify and last season we also saw where PSG, Dortmund, Milan and Newcastle joined the same group which made the group phase even more interesting because every match was always a big match.

Hopefully this season will be like that too but we'll have to wait a few more hours for that because if I'm not mistaken the drawing will be tomorrow.
I'm quite impatient to see what the results of the group stage will be because it could be a situation where speculation will be rife about who might make it through the group stage and who might not depending on the group stage.
