It is still very doubtful that Bayern Leverkusen will become a big club as the strongest competitor in the Champions League. They performed well in the Bundesliga, but there is no guarantee that next season they will return to playing consistently and remain as champions in the Bundesliga. Especially if we talk about competition in the Champions League which is much more competitive and Man City, which is considered strong, could lose the opportunity to qualify for the semifinals and conversely the team that is not seeded will succeed in advancing to the final.

Even though we cannot underestimate Bayern Leverkusen's ability, if we look at the quality of players and experience, I agree that they will have a very difficult time getting to the quarter-finals or semi-finals next season in the Champions League. The competition in the Champions League is much tougher because there are many strong teams from various representatives and maybe it is not yet time for Xabi Alonso's men to go far there.
Bayern Leverkusen have signed any top qualities players for participating in UEFA Champion League and I don't sure they will face for the first participants after absent last two consecutives season. Xabi Alonso have showed his tactician last season when Bayern Leverkusen success get unbeaten in domestic league and impressive performance only one loss at UEFA Europe League final match against Atalanta. The management of Bayern Leverkusen have prepare with solid team and fully support for Xabi Alonso signed any top players for anticipating busy schedule matches next season in Champion League and domestic league.

New format seems more helpful for Bayern Leverkusen because league format get easily than old format each group filled by four teams and only qualified two top standings team each group. I don't think difficult for Bayern Leverkusen secure the top sixth standings in UEFA Champion  League new format get qualified to knock out round.

Leverkusen's main strength is that they have a talented coach like Xabi Alonso. With the help of Alonso, we saw such great performances from Leverkusen last season. The Leverkusen squad was not very strong last season. Even then, the bonding between the players was very strong. Due to the good chemistry between the players, the Leverkusen team was able to remain unbeaten in the Bundesliga last season. Also the players were very confident.

It will be difficult for Leverkusen to perform well next season. But since Leverkusen has a coach as talented as Alonso. So we can expect a better performance from Leverkusen. But Leverkusen's players need to work harder. Leverkusen's players are quite talented. If the players are confident and work hard, they can do well in the next season as well.
Leverkusen is not as strong as last season, seeing them humiliated by Arsenal in a friendly match proves that Xabi Alonso's concoction can be predicted by other coaches, proving that we should not look too much at last season, there must be a difference in play and a decline in performance, this will affect them in the Bundesliga and will be an opportunity for Bayern Munich,
in this case Xabi Alonso must immediately improve the mentality of his players, instill high confidence so that his team becomes solid and consistent again

I don't really favor this team in the UEFA Champions League, but I want to see if Leverkusen will be the difference and surprise us all. that is the answer that Leverkusen must prove and I look forward to it.

The new format will make the Championship league much more exciting. It will really be like a league in this format and even 1 point will be vital for the teams. I liked this new format but yes, the small teams had a chance to get out of the groups of four but the chances are quite low in the matches that will be played in a league system. Still, it is certain that we will see enjoyable matches. I am excitedly waiting for the new format
You may think it will be exciting, but other people think it is less of interesting. Yes, the first phase is league phase, I think it is actually not so different with a group stage. But too many teams in league phase makes it to have more matches, I personally think this is not good for the players. Every team will have less time to prepare their players, I think it will make many players to play not in their best condition. Sure, this will be a challenge for every team, but it won't be good for the players' condition. I suspect there will be more players to experience injury with a very busy agenda in UCL matches.


What distinguishes it now from the previous format is only the appearance and number of matches, because previously the participating clubs were put into several containers (groups) but now they are all united in one place even though not all meet each other and the other difference is only the number of matches is much more than before. Apart from that, everything remains the same where they have to compete in 2 legs and must try their best to qualify for the last 16.

Interesting and not all depends on comfort but I personally actually like this new rule if UEFA provides an event that is not too close to other competitions. currently there are many matches that we will see of course this is very good but on the other hand I hope the organizers do not force it too much with a tight schedule because the important competition is not only the Champions League.

I was hoping you were going to say that Bayern Leverkusen are going to be the next big club that will be a strong competitor in the UCL this season. They had a good performance in the Bundesliga doesn't mean that they will be able to win the UCL. I watched their performance against Arsenal in the friendly games and I noticed that they are not as strong as they were last season. And if they remain like this i won't be surprised that Bayern Munich will seize the opportunity to win the Bundesliga.

I am welcoming Bayern Leverkusen to the UCL. And i am promising that they won't make it to the semi-final or quarter-final of the tournament. At least having the experience and qualifying to the UCL is worth it.

Real Madrid is a fairly consistent club from the past until now they have created their own history as the best club in the world and won many domestic trophies and also international trophies so they are no longer in doubt if in the end they will win the Champions League trophy for the 16th time because they have the best squad at the moment with a strong mentality especially with the arrival of Mbappe will make this club more confident to do everything with their current coach Carlo Anceloti.
I no longer see Manchester City or Bayern Munich as challengers for Real Madrid next season even though these clubs have always been strong candidates in the UCL for years but for Real Madrid I have full hope for this club.
From all your statements I agree but for your opinion on the last few lines I strongly disagree if you say Manchester City is no longer a strong contender in the UCL.
Now you have to look deeper whether Man City made many changes?
No, that was not done by Pep Guardiola because the club currently has great players and you also have to remember that Haaland is still a reliable player and is able to compete with Mbappe who is very much relied on by Real Madrid.
After that you also have to see how the Man City players managed to win the UCL title with the same players as today and that means it is still a contender that will make it difficult for Real Madrid in the champions league later.

History is not something new to Real Madrid because they are use to making history. They made history this past season by winning UCL 15 times and they have also won UCL back to back, meaning Real Madrid is history themselves.

The team has a wonderful combination of world class players which are still young and desperate to create records for themselves. The old players in terms of age in Real Madrid are leaving gradually and soon the squad will be of young and vibrant players which will serve the club for a long period of time before they will leave.
History is what they do, if it were the case that all the Champions League trophies they won were long before the present, we might be talking about this team's past history. But when they embark on a new season, that's where they succeed and that's where they make history. Real Madrid alone have won 15 Champions League titles, while all other teams' UCL titles combined may not equal 15 Champions League titles. They have done this in the past, they are doing this consistently now and I believe they will continue to improve in the future.

If we only talk about next season's Champions League, I can't put any other team ahead of Real Madrid as they are expected to win their 16th UCL title with the proportion of the team they have formed.

There have been some seasons that Real Madrid have performed poorly in La Liga and finished second and third in the points table but won the Champions League. What could be the reason behind Real Madrid doing so well in the Champions League is still a mystery. It is doubtful whether any other club will be so successful in the future. Real Madrid has been consistent so far and they are one of the favorites in the upcoming Champions League season as well and if nothing untoward happens then Real Madrid are most likely to win the title next season. Betting on Real Madrid in Champions League matches is always less risky for your money as most of the matches tend to go in favor of Real Madrid.

Why did you exempt Bayer Leverkusen, Inter Milan, and Arsenal; are they not capable enough or they don't have good squad to be among the title challenge next season? I forget to add Barcelona as well.
Underrating these teams is not proper because we have seen how they performed well last season especially Arsenal and Leverkusen who did well in their respective domestic leagues.

These teams can give us some surprising performances in the Champions League next season.

I agree about only Leverkusen and Inter. Especially if Leverkusen maintain their performance this season also, they are a surprise candidate for the trophy I think.  Cool  For Inter, I can say they were wonderful in the Serie A last season. A smooth performance. You would remember they were a finalist in the Champions League 2 seasons ago too. They can also be unpredictable.

But for Arsenal and Barcelona, I don't think so. Arsenal are stumbling here because of focusing mainly on winning a PL title. We saw it last season. When it comes to Barcelona, I think they have less chance considering their situation lately.  Sad
Arsenal is out of the game among those clubs that can surprise us in the Champions League because they don't always go far in this league from onset and that is why I am ruling them out. Barcelona can try their best but their squad is not very strong for one to put hope on them.

Leverkusen did excellently in their domestic league does not mean that they will be able to win UCL when last season that they were in their best performance, they were unable to win Atalanta in Europa finals. This is why I doubt whatever magic that they will do, champions league is not for clubs that came from Europa.
I was hoping you were going to say that Bayern Leverkusen are going to be the next big club that will be a strong competitor in the UCL this season. They had a good performance in the Bundesliga doesn't mean that they will be able to win the UCL. I watched their performance against Arsenal in the friendly games and I noticed that they are not as strong as they were last season.

This is why I doubt whatever magic that they will do, champions league is not for clubs that came from Europa.
A difficulty that has been maintained by Arsenal is only consistent that is always unstable and has ambitions pursuing domestic and UCL titles that make Arsenal squad inconsistent. From this we know that as long as Arsenal have not been able to maintain its consistency and are still too ambition with his desires, I am sure Arsenal will have difficulties in any competition. Arteta should not have to pursue a certain title but prioritizes one of the competitions to provide experience and mentality to the players to be ready to face all the difficulties at UCL.

And for Leverkusen, I fully support your opinion if indeed Leverkusen has not yet had a brilliant experience in prestigious competition and it will never succeed when competing here. While Leverkusen for me can be said to be a lucky team last season. A miracle if Leverkusen is able to compete at UCL to reach the final round.
Arteta must set priorities very well next season, because it is difficult to maintain stable performance in every competition, the Premier League should be more prioritized to win. We know the Premier League is very competitive, but the Champions League is much more competitive than imagined. It is understandable if Arsenal must first gather more mentality at the domestic level by winning trophies, so that they can talk a lot in the Champions League later. I think PSG are more experienced than Arsenal in the last decade, so Arteta must be more realistic.

On the other hand, Leverkusen journey in the Champions League next season seems steeper than Arsenal, because as we know they have less experience. Their unbeaten record last season is indeed worthy of appreciation, but it is not certain that it can be repeated in the future. There are so many challenges to be had in the Champions League, which is clearly very different from the Europa League. However, the opportunity to create a surprise is very open, and who knows Leverkusen can continue the miracle like last season.

The new system in the CL was introduced to be able to broadcast more games and I'm not so sure it will be as great as in the past. I'm trying to give the new CL a chance this year, but I'm afraid I'll miss the old version. The battle between 4 teams in the respective groups was very exciting, can the new "group" replace that?
There is no doubt, we will all miss the previous version of the Champions League style because we are all well familiar with how it goes but we have to monitor this new version to get used to it, as such; predicting the entire competition will be difficult because we can never tell how the grouping will be and how almost all team’s elimination will looks like.

The new method will not guarantee any team a Europa League chance, and there should not be home and away matches as it used to be which I think will make it very competitive because no serious team will afford losing match twice in the tournament and draws will be  an important result for most teams because of points.

I can’t wait to see how the new Champions League version will be, but many teams will have chance to compete hard to see if they can win the title.

The fact remains that this new pattern is going to avail all team s more chances to get it right even if they had started off badly because the timing is going to be much longer than the old format and then it's promises to be really fun filled and not like it's going to bore people due to the extended time, every point  is going to mean a whole lot to everyone because if neglected, others have got enough time to make up for the lapsis of the timing. Just like always, the champions league will be an enjoyable one.
It depends on the performance they will show and the division of opponents they will face in the league phase.
Although the group format is replaced with a league format, each club's matches are only 5 matches with the same pattern home and away. So in this case the performance becomes a condition that is indeed an initial benchmark if they want to qualify for the next phase.

Certainly for the top 8 clubs are some big clubs but it does not rule out the possibility if there is a surprise later. The most important thing now is how they are ready to do the Champiosn League competition with the new format because after all, with the addition of the current match, it is certain that this will make the club (especially the big clubs) even busier with the rotation of players carried out later.

Although the essence is the same when entering the round of 16, everything is back to normal. It's just that the way to enter the round of 16 is more complicated. The usual qualification is 6 matches against 3 different teams, now 8 matches against 8 different teams.
16 out of the 36 teams will have to play 10 games before the round of 16.
Teams that will be ranked 9th - 24th in the league phase will enter the knockout round play-offs and they will have two extra matches.

Actually regardless of the format for some of the smaller clubs it will be a little more difficult because looking at what is happening right now only performance and victory should be sought with 8 matches (2 legs) to be carried out in the sense that this is 2 more matches than the previous format.
If in the end there are optimal results from the matches carried out then there is certainly a good thing that can be obtained but to qualify directly without having to play off first for some dark horse clubs or even clubs that tend not to be favored then it could be more difficult than imagined.

We just have to wait for what will happen in the new format that will occur because after all for now we have to wait for the distribution in the match schedule from the drawing that will be done later.

When it comes to the champions league, the prowess of Manchester city and Real Madrid has always been outstanding such that it cannot and never be undermined hence its almost very normal to think and talk about them firstly before trying to think about others in the league who are anticipated to be in the title race, and this forme doesn't in any way undermine the ability of others who are aswell in the race as they too can get on with brilliant performance and it becomes a stance for the other team to get on their feet as the title race will become even more tough than they would have taught.
I don't really know the reason why we keep including Manchester City as the big guys in the Champions League because going by their Champions League history, they don't even deserve any praises because they have just won it once. If we should be talking about teams that have good Champions League records then we should be talking about those teams that have won it more than once and not always putting Manchester City it the picture.

I know that Manchester City have been in a very good form and performance both in their domestic leagues and in the Champions League but yet they haven't achieved many Champions League trophies as Real Madrid did so until they are able to win many champions league trophies then we can see them as one of the major contenders of the champions league but for now, regardless of how formidable the team is they are no different from the other teams that have won the Champions League once and above so they shouldn't be hyped so much.

I think people are saying that Manchester City is one of the most favorite teams in the Champions League because Manchester City has one of the best squads right now and they have also been able to win the English Premier League title eight times in the last 13 seasons if I recall correctly. That alone is a great result for any club and right now another reason why we think that Manchester City is a great contender for the Champions League competition is because Manchester City has been showing really good performance in the English premier league which is the most competitive league in the world right now.

Yes, Manchester City has been able to win the Champions League competition only once, and that was also very recently in 2023. But the consistent performance that they have been showing in the Champions League competition makes us believe that they are going to show that good performance again and they definitely have the potential to win the Champions League competition.

When it comes to the champions league, the prowess of Manchester city and Real Madrid has always been outstanding such that it cannot and never be undermined hence its almost very normal to think and talk about them firstly before trying to think about others in the league who are anticipated to be in the title race, and this forme doesn't in any way undermine the ability of others who are aswell in the race as they too can get on with brilliant performance and it becomes a stance for the other team to get on their feet as the title race will become even more tough than they would have taught.


In few seasons now, despite Manchester City have not won the Champions League more than one time, they always be among the two favorite teams to win the Champions League every season now. It is always clear that Manchester City and Real Madrid will be because of the types of squads and coaches they have, so nobody can underestimate these two teams because of their brilliant performance every season.

As for now, we never see the team that we can use to compare with these two teams. All these other teams that their performances are based on season, they may do well this season; next season, they may not perform well. So, I can't pick up a current team that may join them to fight for the Champions League trophy, but if the season starts and we see their performance, probably we can identify the team that may join the race of winning the trophy.

Manchester City will do their best next season to win the Champions League after Madrid stopped them last season, and I am confident Guadiola will do all necessary to win the UCL. Guadiola has renewed his contract with Manchester City, indicating that he wants to win more trophies for the club. He is a very talented coach, and he will try to win another title next season, because Manchester City players are very talented, and they will do anything to please the fans every season. But with the new players Real Madrid has, I think they will challenge Guadiola again in the UCL, and I didn't see any players that Guadiola buy to the team, so I think is satisfied with the once he have, be leaving they will perform well. Ancelotti will do all in his power to stop Guadiola from winning the UCL again, and he will aim to do so back-to-back, because I do not believe any team now has key players like Real Madrid. Any club that faces Real Madrid next season will be a tough opponent, and it will be difficult to defeat them.

Although the essence is the same when entering the round of 16, everything is back to normal. It's just that the way to enter the round of 16 is more complicated. The usual qualification is 6 matches against 3 different teams, now 8 matches against 8 different teams.
16 out of the 36 teams will have to play 10 games before the round of 16.
Teams that will be ranked 9th - 24th in the league phase will enter the knockout round play-offs and they will have two extra matches.
