With the new UCL format, there will be more matches there will be an additional 64 matches with a total of 189 matches. Some positive opinions are that there will be more clubs that can participate. The more interesting the competition, the more spectators will also watch the match. This means that club ticket revenue will increase.
But with this condition, of course, the club has to work harder. They will go through many matches that make them can get injured. The team seems to have to prepare a good strategy to be able to compete in the League and Europe. It is possible that the increase in the number of players registered can be considered by UEFA.

Bayern Munich and Ajax can win the 3 titles in a row, too. But only Real Madrid who could win 5 titles in a row (1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960). This record is unlikely to be repeated by other teams because it will be very difficult to win UCL in 5 consecutive seasons. That's why many people claim that UCL is Real Madrid league, Real Madrid is too dominating this competition. 
Bayern Munich, Ajax Amsterdam, Real Madrid and Liverpool are teams that have some dominating seasons in the past but I did not implied about these seasons. It's too far in the past and European football last two or three decades are very different than in 1970s, 1980s and before that.Since the change from C1 to Champions League, only Real Madrid successfully defend their Champions League title, and this fact shows how hard to become a Champions League winner last three decades.
Even the golden generation of Messi can't dominate UCL. They are defeated by Ronaldo era that was managed by Zidane. Barcelona may dominate La Liga in the era of Messi, but they never can dominate UCL. Real Madrid is surely in another level when it is about UCL. I think people call Real Madrid as the king of UCL is understandable. Sure, no team looks to catch the record of Real Madrid in UCL
It's true so and three consecutive Champions League titles of Real Madrid with Zidane as a head coach, is very magnificent achievement for their club and it's an impressive club performance in Champions League history too.Manchester City failed to defend their title in the recently completed season too and this again shows very high competitiveness of Champions League. It's hard to win it but it's even much harder to defend your title.
Alot of the sentiment on this thread over the last few days have been largely centered on Madrid winning the title for the second time in a row. As much as they're the true kings of the tournament and are in a really great place right now where they can perform and compete with any team right now, I'm not 100% certain that they can win it yet. A lot of twists and turns are gonna be there and like all football games, the best teams don't always win and I can see that happening with Madrid. There are teams that could still handle them well in the UCL.
My options are still open even though my default, biased choice is going to be Liverpool.
Really? Liverpool is your choice on this ? I don't know if you missed the part that they are actually trying to switch their manager and we all know the effect that normally holds in a club and for the case of Liverpool I just hope it's positive rather than negative because jorgen kloop is actually a really good coach and I find it hard to believe that someone would easily just implement or even do better than what he has done in Liverpool.My options are still open even though my default, biased choice is going to be Liverpool.
A change in the Liverpool team would be good, but such an experienced coach should not be changed. Although the performance of Liverpool team players has been very poor at present, as I have placed two bets on Liverpool team in the last month or so I have lost there. So I will definitely talk about their performance but it will be best if they change and the team can perform stronger.

In history of UEFA C1/ Champions League, there are very few clubs which could win three titles in three consecutive seasons or within several years so to catch Real Madrid's record, Manchester City will spend a long time to get it. They can win some titles but Real Madrid will be able to win more Champions League titles in future too.
Bayern Munich and Ajax can win the 3 titles in a row, too. But only Real Madrid who could win 5 titles in a row (1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960). This record is unlikely to be repeated by other teams because it will be very difficult to win UCL in 5 consecutive seasons. That's why many people claim that UCL is Real Madrid league, Real Madrid is too dominating this competition. Last two decades, Barcelona had some dominating seasons with their golden generation with Messi is a core player but they did not maintain it and they are still far to catch Real Madrid. It's explainable for all clubs as players come and go, start as young players, grow up, succeed, get old and retire. Success for one club can not be from only one generation of players but must be maintained with different generations and Real Madrid do it best so far.
Even the golden generation of Messi can't dominate UCL. They are defeated by Ronaldo era that was managed by Zidane. Barcelona may dominate La Liga in the era of Messi, but they never can dominate UCL. Real Madrid is surely in another level when it is about UCL. I think people call Real Madrid as the king of UCL is understandable. Sure, no team looks to catch the record of Real Madrid in UCL.
Leaving Ancelotti is something real Madrid may not want to do at this time but just like Liverpool, a time will come when even the team can't help it but to let him go probably for purposes of resting, retiring or on health grounds, either way they are definitely going to have a point where he will leave the team and the team will get to capitalize on his legacy hence look for a replacement for him. Like you did mentioned, if they start scouting for a replacement now it will be a gree idea a d I'm very sure even if they start so early, they are still going to find it really difficult to get a perfect replacement.
A manager that will get them to win the UCL and la Liga at the same time with much ease, is someone Madrid will definitely find difficult to get because such a manager must be very experienced and on a very different level of performance than other coaches who handle other teams, he must have a really different mentality that is geared towards winning mostly and not just to head the team a d having to settle for less, Madrid typical suffered only one loss this season in the la Liga and another two in the champions league this season too.

I don’t think we are that far away from Ancelloti departure from Real Madrid, last summer there were concrete rumors that he was set to leave for the Brazil National team with which he also hinted that it wouldn’t be bad to go there and manage the selecaó. Perez did a U-turn and offered him a new contract extension although what I noticed was that it wasn’t for a very long term with three years at most added (included an option to extend). This to me speaks that Real Madrid aren’t at the moment planning anything way too long like other clubs commit with a Manager with an Ancelloti. Looking at this I think once the gaffer contract expires he might be leaving to Brazil.
The manager that comes to mind to replace Ancelloti at the moment in my opinion is Xabi Alonso. He definitely lacks the experience that Ancelloti has but his Aura will pave way for him to become the next Real Madrid manager. Something even tells me his rejection of offers from Bayern Munich and Liverpool this season and to prolong his stay with the Bundesliga club is as just to wait more for Real Madrid. It’s a huge risk but to me a good one, if he gets a stellar season like last season then he will be the favourite to take it. My other wild card will be the return of Zidane

Real Madrid did not win the league in a row. Before this there current wining Manchester City were the winner and they were also one of the strongest competitor in the UCL semi finals stage. I still believe they are the strongest team in the world. If they still retain tis squad and include. Mbape they are almost concluding deals on then they will win the league again and again.My options are still open even though my default, biased choice is going to be Liverpool.
Liverpool current squad are no match to Madrid unless there are more threat added to the team that i do not know. If you would mention a team that can hold the defense of Madrid you should be talking about Arsenal.

I know with the way Real Madrid enjoyed Ancelotti performance, they don't want to leave him now or anytime soon until they sight a more impressive manager as time goes on. Maybe from next season, they will scout for another manager. Winning the UCL as well as the La Liga was a great winning streak for Real Madrid and it showed their prowess in this season and I'm most convinced that they want to do more next season.

The current Real Madrid squad is not bad, all the players are in their best form, the arrival of Mbappe makes this Los Blancos squad even stronger as others say, I believe the game statistics have improved again.
Of course they will be much more stronger when Mbappe joins up with them but the only problem i see is how Ancellotti will manage the team with Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo, will they all start? Or will he still stick to his usual 442 formation with Bellingham playing as a false 9? Because he’s already got a midfield of Tcheomeni, Camavinga and Valverde and also Bellingham. If Endric also joins up with the team it will be very difficult to manage them all. It’s good for Real Madrid as it is also good for PSG because they’ll save a lot in some returns they’re suppose to give to him if he had stayed for another season. This was the best time for the move and the two clubs I think are okay with it.
It’s good deal for Real Madrid but i can’t say the same for PSG because all what they have invested in him seem to have wasted. He was paid huge amount for wages and was not signed for free and all these years the only benefit they have had was winning the Ligue 1 title which they would eventually win even without Mbappe. They also might have benefited from his jersey sales but other than that i don’t see what else they benefited.

Real Madrid withstand all pressure and winning is never a problem for them. Always aim for bigger targets because they're elite club. Madrid president, Florentino Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti in charge, we expects brilliant results to be coming their path with clarity. Real Madrid will always remain the best leading club because they've come this far in UCL. They ensure they're top with the best players and overcoming their challenges.

Ancelotti has the opportunity to equal the record set by Zidane, who won three Champions League trophies in a row with Madrid. Apart from that, Ancelotti also understands that the demands of club officials are getting bigger, at the same time the challenges will not be easy. Meanwhile, Ancelotti also has to experiment with several of his players to find a replacement for the role left by Kroos, because at certain moments, assists from Kroos are still really needed.

With the acquisition of one of the best players in the world in Mbape and the possession of the potential world best this season,Marid will be an extra ordinary team next season,they will be the team to either win the Lalliga again or lift the Champions league back to back because they have a complete squad now.They have the most deadliest squad in Europe now.
I heard Rodrigo is been eyed by Arsenal for a potential move,and that deal might seem to be materialising because of Mbape who will play on the same wing with him.It might be better he leaves than to remain on the bench.

I don't want to see Real Madrid's performance decline after Mbappe is in the squad, of course I hope for a better performance compared to the previous season. Mbappe is a free purchase which is expected to make Real Madrid even more feared in the world as a team, so it is hoped that all players can make a good contribution and work together throughout next season.
About beign selfish , yes he's somehow selfish mostimes because he feels he could make that goal happen at that particular time he holds the ball.

We know that Madrid have a lot of young and talented players but from season to season we can see the level of their ego is not big because they can always be controlled well by Ancelotti including for new players like Jude who came last season he can also adapt well in the end. This may happen to Mbappe because he must realize that this is Real Madrid not PSG when he is acting up then Perez can make him leave at any time.
Carlo Ancelotti's Ancelotti is a calm, cool and collected manager but one thing yet he instils absolute discipline on his squad which is why I think he's gonna spell things out for the team from the very beginning of next season so they work together as a team instead of fighting for individual accolades. The arrival of Kylian Mbappe will not bring any sort of confusion to the Real Madrid team rather it'll help the team to continue to dominate Europe
-snip-
The current Real Madrid squad is not bad, all the players are in their best form, the arrival of Mbappe makes this Los Blancos squad even stronger as others say, I believe the game statistics have improved again.The last few seasons Real Madrid's player purchases have never failed, maybe what failed was the purchase of Eden Hazard in the past but now they are investing more in young players who have talent and in the future will have high market value.
What is careful is the arrival of Mbappe for free while last season offered him 200 million this is really a good strategy done by Real Madrid.

I think with the way Mbappe behaved when he was in the PSG team alongside Messi, Naymer and Ramos, I think he (Mbappe) has that attitude of selfishness but coming to the Real Madrid team where there are a lot of young players who have been in the team and has had good number of achievements in the team before his arrival I think he will learn to drop his ego down and bond with the players since there was not special agreement that was made between him and the management of Real Madrid and the team is not built on his shoulders the way it was in PSG.
I don't think the arrival of Mbappe will have any negative impact on the Real Madrid team rather I think his arrival is going to strengthen the team more and make them win more trophies starting from next season. The Real Madrid team will not only be feared as you said but they will become unstoppable because the young stars have got the skills, pace and goal scoring abilities, Real Madrid is already the favourite to win he champions league for next season that's if they won't also win their league ahead of Barcelona.

Real Madrid has many senators in the team, and Mbappe even if he is a top player will have to respect the hierarchies of the locker room, I don't think they will let the newest player do what he wants even if he is the best. I would rather focus on the coach who will have to find a way to use all these champions without leaving anyone unhappy. Ancelotti will have a lot of work to do

When it comes to the UCL tournament, it is not possible for every team to achieve consistent success every year. In order to increase stability, they will need to make transfers that are both young and future-oriented, like Real Madrid. Inter's early elimination this year was a shock. We should not compare Real Madrid with other teams. Real currently has a strong enough squad to compete in the finals next year.
