Borussia Dortmund is surely one of the good clubs in Bundesliga but in last season their performance was not good enough just because of this they are ended at the fifth spot and having spot into Champions League final was purely due to their luck because they were having not good enough squad, but their defense were good which help them for having better results their attack was not good enough so now in this season they have done some work and having improvement.

Due to their business model of having youngsters and selling them after development things have never been ideal for them to having consistency into their club which is important for the clubs which wants to stay at the top and having good results as well as we have some good changes we will have good improvement in few clubs which will surely create good challenging matches at the top which is trademark of Champions League in last few years.

Currently Madrid only has Modric left in their midfield as an experienced player after Kroos announced his retirement, although Madrid midfield still has many good and young players in the midfield, we also cannot deny that they still need experienced players to support every line which Madrid is dominated by young players. Of course, we cannot doubt that they have experience and a strong enough mentality in competing in La Liga and also the Champions League so far, so they really deserve to continue to be favorites as one of the strong championship candidates in every competition they have participated, so far Ancelotti has done a good job at Madrid so we can see how Madrid has a pretty good team balance.

The competition next season will of course be more competitive because every season the teams competing in the Champions League always improve and reshuffle their teams, so like it or not, Madrid also has to be wary of the rise of rival teams to be able to maintain their status as champions remaining in the defense Champions League next season, Madrid does have a complex team balance but is still trying to bring in several new players at this time in order to maintain their dominance in the league and Champions League.

Atalanta after winning the UEL title last season of course they are already above the average level so they have to prepare everything both in terms of recruiting new players or preparing themselves for the new season in preparation for playing in the UCL next season, apart from that Atalanta will also meet again with Leverkusen where Leverkusen was defeated by Atalanta in the UEL final last season, I'm sure Leverkusen will avenge that defeat if they meet the same group in the UCL next season, Xabi Alonso will certainly not waste this opportunity if in the end the two meet again in UCL next season, it's going to be interesting for both of these teams

Just because Modric and Kroos retire or leave Real Madrid, it doesn't mean that Real Madrid's midfield will become weak. It's funny if you come to that conclusion because, after all,  Real Madrid still have other players who are also young and thus, I believe the Real Madrid squad will remain good and fine from season to season. Therefore, it is not surprising that Real Madrid is always the favorite team to get the trophy. But indeed, even so, ofcourse, Real Madrid is also still possible to fail but basically, Real Madrid always has a chance to get trophies in all competitions every season.

Arsenal?, personally I hope the Gunners can win the UCL trophy.  It's just that, I can't describe or predict that they will win the UCL trophy next season. the reason is simple, Arsenal is not quite ready for that. But even so, football is unique and anything can happen, including Arsenal. Even though I'm a Gunners supporter, I'm a little skeptical. Ideally, Arsenal will win their Domestic League first before strengthening their team to compete for the UCL trophy.

Speaking of Bayern Munich, I also doubt it. Moreover, currently Bayern is led by a manager whose performance has not been proven. Barcelona, ​​just like the two teams we mentioned in this post. In fact, until now they are having difficulty recruiting newcomers according to the team's needs. but still, as I said before. Football is unique, we can't just rely on data and statistics. because in a football match there are other things apart from that, or in other words, to predict accurately there is no definite calculation or even formulating luck. Even for Manchester City and Real Madrid, it is not certain that they will win this competition. although, we could say that Man City or Madrid have a higher probability than other teams as competitors who have great potential to win the UCL trophy.

Atalanta has been consistent in the past two seasons and has qualified for European competition. In the 2021-2022 season, they ended the league in the eighth position. But the club kept believing in the ability of coach Gian Piero Gasperini and they are currently the Europa League champions. Seeing them in the Champions League is also a welcome development and I hope they will show the same quality they put in the Europa League where they ended Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten run in a ground style.


Bayern Munich shouldn't rely solely on Harry Kane as the main striker. He has experience and is also a good finisher but his age is affecting his strength on the pitch. He would still be the main striker but Vincent Kompany should start looking for alternatives. I suggest that the English captain showed be rested or substituted in some games so that younger players get the opportunity to play and get experience. I suspect that his performance will continue to depreciate because you can't cheat nature.

Well, this prediction is interesting, I agree Real Madrid will be the team with the highest odds because they are the champions of this tournament. In addition, they continue to add the best striker in the world today 'Kylian Mbappe'. They will definitely be the frontrunners, and we should suspect that they will make it a hat-trick of back-to-back championships next year.

What I object to in this prediction is why you can ignore runner-up Dortmund. I don't understand the reason. Although Dortmund was an underrated team last season. But you should remember that they defeated big clubs to advance to the final to compete for the championship with Real Madrid. Football always gives us surprises. Last season's runner-up position can be a motivation for Dortmund to try to develop in the coming season. Dortmund should not be overlooked.

Atalanta is indeed a good team and that has also been proven by themselves after being able to win the Europa League last season, but to compete in the Champions League which is very different in level will clearly not be easy for Atalanta although other teams will also be wary of Atalanta as an opponent who is not easy. Because to be able to compete fiercely in the Champions League, it not only requires better players, but also requires more tactics that cannot be read by the opponent and a strong mentality when a team is behind in the first leg.

I think the same as you, although you always have to be very careful, sometimes the team that may be last in the table, even that is about to fall into the 2nd division can win in a purely impressive way, because that has happened, right now in the UCL the teams are more motivated, more reinforced and with more desire to win, with less probability of losing by making mistakes, because those mistakes are the ones that the coaches will work hard to prevent from happening again, so Madrid will always be the favorite, only now they cannot and should not lower their level, I think Ancelotti will know how to position a new team with very good players, but I insist, I see Madrid's midfield weak.

Well things are very Exciting when it comes to Man City , Pep is still in charge and while he is in charge he is like one of those AI bots that learns to never Fall into the same mistakes again, City Already has to work when a team locks itself in defense, just like Madrid played, while they go for Everything to see how they can Undermine the way out of that problem , well Madrid has to find another way to be more efficient, if to play only defensively with very Lightning counterattacks and continue under the Unbreakable defense scheme, this is what Ancelotti showed us who Always brings out his best Cards at the End.

Those statistics are real and Real should be the favorites but I do have a feeling whoever will win UCL this year , will be a surprise and personally I don't see Real , City or Bayern actually winning it. Maybe Arsenal ? Maybe Inter or Ac.Milan ? Maybe Barcelona ? I think football needs a fresh team to win the trophy to re-gain the confidence of fans to actually love this competition.

For the last two years, Bayern (the process itself apparently began earlier) has obviously been degrading, so it already belongs to the general group of contenders who are above average but are not the main favorites. And I also suspect (judging by his performance at the Euro) that Kane has begun a decline and next season his help will be less noticeable. Next season Bayern will have a new coach and so far there are no prerequisites for him to strengthen the club or change anything radically; a lot will depend on what the draw and pairings in the playoffs will be.

I was reading the news and just now regarding the European teams that will participate in the Champions League this year it turned out that another club that will participate in the competition is Atalanta who have made another great purchase that will certainly give a great reinforcement to this team so watch out for Atalanta who could do really well or at least make a good progress in these matches, they seem to be a strong team and full of stimuli after the success they had in the Europa League

Sometimes we are having strange things around us with currently we are going for the early qualifying round matches of the UEFA Champions League which are going to start from the 9th July, and we are having here who is going to fight into final which is really shocking with no one is clear who is coming and how group stage matches are going to be play as now we are going to have Champions League with new format which is also going to be interested.

As now, we are having too many clubs which are preparing for the big stage and trying to have enough strength for the next season right now prediction is surely not easy for who is coming into last round of the event because as mentioned now we are having few teams which are coming with their new squads and looking for better results surely bring something extraordinary, and we have to wait about the teams which will in knockout rounds.

They have shown consistency over the last three seasons. I'd say Manchester City has shown consistency over the past three seasons, Real Madrid has always been there I must say, they might not come close to the finals but you're sure seeing them making good progress to get there. Most likely you'd still see them in the Champions League Competition finals or tue semifinals. They have shown how good and big they're.

Next season, I'm my head, they're still the best candidates to win it on paper but we will definitely see other clubs competitive and competing very hard. I would love to see what quick impact Kylian Mbappe brings into Real Madrid next season.

Real Madrid are already different from all other teams be it in Champions League competition or La Liga. Real Madrid has won the UCL trophy 15 times but it is not their past history but they have been performing consistently from the past till now which is why they are on the first place in the list of most UCL trophy wins till date. If Real Madrid does not win the UCL trophy for 8 consecutive seasons, on the other hand, if the team that is second in the UCL trophy wins the UCL title for 8 consecutive seasons, then their achievement will be equal to Real Madrid. 

I don't want to compare Real Madrid with any other team for the Champions League competition because any other team may do well one season and then the next season will be bad but Real Madrid will plan for another season after finishing one season. The key to Real Madrid's success is that they plan one match at a time and move forward one match at a time.

I really hope that Manchester City can meet in the UCL Final, because with these two teams being equally strong it will be a hot match, especially if they compete in the UCL Final. with Real Madrid who can be said to still have a big chance of dominating the Champions League, I hope there are other teams that can match Real Madrid, including Manchester City, who can be said to be able to match Real Madrid, only they are less fortunate so Real Madrid is the one who can dominate the Champions League. previously.

It is unlikely that Real Madrid will experience a decline, especially if they have recruited new players whose talents are already visible, but that does not mean that Real Madrid cannot be beaten even if they have recruited new players. With the upcoming season, Real Madrid will definitely show their best game, just as Manchester City will definitely be chasing the UCL title. These two teams will compete fiercely because they both have strong performances, but it's not just them, of course there are other teams that will show their best game to win the UCL title. The competition at UCL is fierce competition because this is where the teams will show their best to be able to win the title that every team dreams of.

Dortmund of course they do have extraordinary strength and I agree with you that Dortmund can get to the final of course not because of luck. but in my personal opinion Dortmund's strength and performance are indeed good and of course we saw Dortmund successfully beat PSG in the UCL semifinals in the 1st leg and 2nd leg of course this really proves that Dortmund is a good team that has a strong defense and of course I do too saw how difficult it was for PSG to break through Dortmund's defense during the semifinal match. So now it's clear that in my personal opinion the same is true, namely Dortmund not because of luck in advancing to the final but because of the quality and results of their hard work.

but of course in the coming season, Dortmund will definitely try as hard as possible to win a trophy in the UCL even though the competition is very tight and of course Dortmund will definitely have the potential to become a strong team again in the UCL, yes, even though Real Madrid's squad is getting stronger, of course Dortmund will definitely fight to be even better than the season that just ended.

Even though the domestic league was struggling, last season Bayern Munich continued to appear consistent and they were even able to reach the semifinals. Initially everyone thought that Bayern Munich would fall early considering that Thomas Tuchel was the coach, but it seems like a good squad can still produce good results even though the coach sounds quite bad.

On the other hand, I am still curious about how Bayern Munich will fare with their new coach Vincent Kompany next season and it is not impossible that they will be underestimated again considering that Vincent Kompany can be said to be much worse than Thomas Tuchel. But apart from all that, it seems there is hope if Vincent Kompany can process all the existing players with the right strategy.

Indeed, Manchester City is a strong team in the UCL as is Real Madrid and it looks like in the coming season Real Madrid will definitely be a difficult team to beat in the UCL as will Manchester City. and in the season of course we still remember how tight the competition was between Real Madrid and Manchester City and to be honest, I personally was very tense watching that match because of course Manchester City is the strongest team in the EPL while Real Madrid is also the strongest team in La Liga and finally in the UCL quarter-finals. the second leg had to end with a penalty shootout which was ultimately a lucky break for Real Madrid and finally Real Madrid advanced to the semifinals.

Of course, Manchester City was unable to advance to the semifinals. Of course, in the coming season, Manchester City will appear even better and of course Pep will have the potential to make Manchester City even better in the next season (2024-2025). In the coming season, all clubs will definitely try their best to become champions and of course sometimes there may be surprises such as those who are considered weak but in reality the team is strong and makes it difficult for teams that are considered strong.

The presence of Mbappe will indeed make things difficult for Manchester City because Mbappe is a good player and of course Real Madrid will have the potential to easily score goals against any goal, including Manchester City. but surely in this case Manchester City is lucky to have a coach like Pep who will definitely make a good strategy to make Manchester City's defense stronger. and Manchester City also has strong players including De Bruyne and Haaland so of course we'll see, but what is certain is that if Real Madrid meets Manchester City in the UCL it will definitely be exciting.

The Champions League of course hasn't started yet and we don't know whether Madrid and Manchester City will meet again in the final or like this season they will meet earlier, but if you look at the change in the format of the Champions League next season which will be in the form of a semi-league, it is most likely in my opinion Manchester City and Madrid will meet again early, because when I look at the aim of changing the format and distribution of pots for the Champions League next season of course the composition of opponents will be adjusted according to each pot, meaning that it is very likely that madrid will meet strong teams and the teams have coefficient is higher from  pots 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The new format that is planned for next season seems to have the potential for us to see that strong teams will be able to compete more closely, especially since there will be additional teams and the number of matches played in the future, apart from Madrid and Manchester City, of course we cannot rule out other teams in champions league, because others teams will rise next season because most of the teams you mentioned are also starting to plan significant improvements by bringing in great coach and also good players nowaday.
