It can also be said that Real Madrid is a team that always has many star players and Real Madrid always manages to unite star players in its squad. Unlike other teams when uniting star players, but other teams still fail to be able to make these star players reduce their ego, so the results obtained are also not so good. But at Real Madrid, despite having many star players, but Real Madrid also always managed to get good results.

Therefore, it is not a new thing if Real Madrid always has a very good chance to get the Champion League trophy. Although it is still not easy completely,  but Real Madrid is more often successful in competition and thus, Real Madrid is also said to be the king of Europe because of the achievement of many Champions League trophies that are difficult for other teams to compete with. So yes,it is not surprising that Mbappe also accepted Real Madrid offer and the great thing is, Real Madrid managed to bring Mbappe in with a free transfer fee.

Real Madrid always has this ambition, for Carlo Ancelotti's team the Champions League has always been the primary objective every season.
If they manage to win the La Liga then great, otherwise nothing.
If you analyze every year carefully, they have always given priority to the Champions League and they will do so next season.

Madrid ambitions have never changed over the years, they have always had the ambition to build a very strong team in order to be able to conquer every competition they have participated in so far, the Los Galaticos 1 and 2 era is proof of how they continue to collect every European star player in the squad, that is also happening at this time where Madrid and Ancelotti are starting to try to build Los Galaticos volume 3 to be able to continue to maintain their dominance in the domestic league and also the European championship, In the last few seasons, Manchester City has become Madrid main rival in the race for the league title Champions league, although Manchester City level may still be below Madrid, we cannot underestimate City ability to make things difficult and even thwart Madrid in winning the Champions League trophy so far.


15 Champions League trophies are proof of madrid greatness so far, but wouldn't it be quite boring for us if Madrid continued to dominate the Champions League champions in the future? Even though Madrid and Manchester City have been the favorite teams in the Champions League, I think we all want to see that competitive competition will still occur in the Champions League and it is possible for us to see many surprises from other teams besides Madrid and Manchester City, Madrid currently have sufficient good  squad depth and even the quality of their reserve squad is as good as the quality of their main squad, so that when a Madrid player is injured it certainly won't make it difficult for Ancelotti to maintain the stability of his team.

At this time, Real Madrid has become the team that has collected the most trophies in the Champions League because Real Madrid has successfully won 15 Champions League trophies so far. However, next season could also be a very good season for Real Madrid as long as there are not many of their players injured. Because if Real Madrid continues to be managed by Ancelotti, of course there is still a big possibility for Real Madrid to win its 16th trophy next season if Manchester City does not succeed in preventing Real Madrid from winning the Champions League next season.

It cannot be denied that Real Madrid is very ambitious to continue its success in the Champions League, this has become a tradition every season. Mbappe presence makes the depth of the Real Madrid squad more ideal, Ancelotti currently has the greatest talent which is the dream of all football managers. How big the salary bill that Real Madrid has to pay every season must of course be balanced with their success in every competition, especially in the Champions League and La Liga. Manchester City is currently a club that is considered to be close to Real Madrid level, and these two teams are certain to be favorites to win next season. After the change in format, Real Madrid has a great opportunity to set another historic record, which will ultimately make them the most trophy collectors in the Champions League.

For a very long time now Madrid as been a king of UEFA,  and only few clubs have been able to challenge Real Madrid and that is exactly what they use to counter their opponents, especially when they are playing against a strong opponent they use their experience and that is what they used against Dortmund. Because Dortmund lack Champions League experience. And for now other clubs will find it difficult for any other club to dominate the way real Madrid have dominated the Champions League and now that they have Mbappe on their side their is another opportunity for them to win the Champions League again. Because that is what they know how to do best and if you look at their last win they did not even stress their self too much, to celebrate because they are already use to winning it, their was no much celebration to be done. Manchester City have the chance but Bayern is zero they won't go far.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens in the Champions League because even though Madrid are getting stronger in terms of players and there's a good chance they'll make it back to the final, we can't be sure that they'll be in the final again until we see their performance.
The season hasn't started yet and we also don't know how the draw will turn out because to reach the final there are a number of things that we have to consider because apart from the performance, the draw and the opponents that will be faced are also important because there could be a surprise just like before where the situation in the draw sometimes becomes a difficult condition to choose because it will bring together several big clubs.
We know that in the last few seasons, especially these 3 seasons, Madrid has always reached a fairly decent position, even 2 champions and 1 time eliminated in the semi-finals, but even so the confidence for them must also be seen from several factors later because there could be surprises this season. although I also still expect Madrid to be the best again but we also cannot ensure this early on, especially before the season.

Not in the final. If Madrid has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, I don't think they can be eliminated anymore. and are expected to win the competition. Clubs are afraid to face Real Madrid in the Champions League due to their current squad's ability to defeat many clubs. Only Manchester City, I believe, are in terrific shape and have talented players capable of challenging Real Madrid, as well as the best coach in the club, Guadiola, who is very skilled at coaching.

Every season brings new changes to the Champions League competition, and everyone is looking forward to seeing how Mbappe performs in the Madrid squad when the season returns. Before predicting who will win the Champions League, it's important to consider the performance of all clubs in the competition. While Real Madrid is known for their success in the competition, it's unclear how the new season will go. so we need to see all the clubs performance first before you can identify who will be the favorite of winning the competition.

Dominating the champions league doesn't mean that a particular team will have to defend it for 3 consecutive seasons because it will almost be so difficult because it's not like normal domestic trophy where a team can win from 4 to 5 times consecutively because the champions league is made up of different teams from different leagues so it is more difficult than the normal league games but however, with how Real Madrid have gotten so strong in the champions league they can possibly go 3 consecutive champions league trophies.

Everyone is sounding as if the arrival of Mbappe is what will make Real Madrid become stronger forgetting to know that Real Madrid is an already established team whereby almost all players are equal in performance for the team so they were literally doing alright before they signed Kylian Mbappé so let us not overrate Kylian Mbappé as he joined the Madrid team because they were doing very well before his arrival.

When Mbappe was together with Messi and Neymar Jr at PSG, they were just unlucky not to win the champions League and not that they didn't try there best, they did but things weren't going well with PSG winning the Champions League even with the availability and efforts of the trio. For a team like Madrid, what happened in PSG cannot happen to Kylian Mbappé because there's no way he wouldn't win the Champions League with Real Madrid. Regardless of the fact that expectations are high on Real Madrid but let's not forget that a lot of teams are contesting for the Champions League so anyone of them can come out and challenge Madrid but just that everyone is making predictions as regards to what is very visible now which is Real Madrid dominating the champions league.

Looking at the kind of squad Madrid has got now, I believe if they get to the champion's league finals again, they are winning the trophy undoubtedly, I know Madrid desires to win the champions League again especially as mbappe who has dreamt of lifting the trophy just joined them, this will evwn be the first champions league after the changes for the champions league was effected, so winning the champions league at this time will really be historic.

We usually understand the long run in tournaments. Dominating depends on the club strength, we noticed the long run and the clubs necessary for the long run. UEFA Champions League is mainly for serious clubs, we're talking about clubs that fight for major spot in tournaments and their stats are extremely placed ontop. Real Madrid happen to be the top ranking club in the world because they've won the major trophy with ease.

Before the beginning of major tournaments like this, a lot of speculations always go on on who to win, who to qualify and who is the best to reach some certain stages in the competition. Speculations like that do work but the best of them been speculated are those that are done during the tournament, when the tournament have just began. The UEFA Champions League is a very big competition that requires a lot of preparation and hard work for each team before they can be successful, so no team that have qualified to play in the competition take it very lightly on their performance, they always strive to be in their best throughout the competition. Manchester City and Bayern Munich can be placed on the same category in the UCL even by next season, but that can be more correct when the competition has began and we see the competitive strength of each team.

I can't deny that Modirc is one of the best players that Madrid has ever had, for me he's one of the players that won't be moving on to the next season, I think Ancelotti will continue to use him when there are problems in games, because his experience makes everything flow Easier to look for goals, however I agree with what you say, for me Carvajal will be the captain of Madrid, not for nothing, but the work he has done in Spain was crucial, especially in the game against Germany, he blocked many passes that were goal-scoring, he's a phenomenal Player.

In the champions league, nothing is easy to come by and for Real Madrid to win the title three times in a row, it was such a tough fight for them and they hard to put in all their efforts and give in their all to have achieved that three times consecutively. I am sure they were not expecting to have won it in a row like that, but with their unrelenting effort, they became victorious again and again. This is not even about players having captaincy status in their different countries, they were just in their best form as a team and no any other team in Europe can stand them at that moment.


I won’t belittle Kompany to the extent of what he can achieve because I won’t conclude on his managerial skill on Bayern Munich when he’s yet to manage them for even a season. He might have fumble while coaching other low tier teams but I don’t expect him to do the same in Bayern Munich when he has the full squad and every support he’ll need to make the club better and prosperous in the league fight and also in the UCL.

You are completely right about that, because in the Bundesliga they showed a very high level of football, but clearly it is as you say, after beating Atalanata, it was like when you are on a cloud and you suddenly fall knowing that real life is different because that is where you step on the ground, and if this happened in the Europa League, in the UCL the level is much higher, it is superior, only the best in the world enter the UCL, so Leverkusen's preparation now must be much higher, just thinking that they can face the PL teams where their physical level is very demanding, well they have to be at that level to resist.

In all aspects Real Madrid's level is still above Man City and also vice versa if you look at the depth of the squad, Real Madrid is still very superior compared to several other teams. In terms of experience and mentality, Real Madrid is one of the most prepared clubs because they have achieved great success in the Champions League and there is no other club that might be able to match their success.

If you want to get rid of Real Madrid, then no team should let them advance to the final, because it is very difficult to beat Real Madrid when they are already in the final. This is related to experience and mentality so that when they enter the final it will be much more dangerous, especially since the depth of the squad they have is also quite strong.

I would say that Real Madrid is the type of team that cares about UCL more than anything else. Like they could end a season with UCL win, but lose the cup and the league, and they would be happier with that result than winning the league and the cup but losing UCL. Sure when you are a good enough team to win the UCL, the likely possibility that we are going to see them win the league too, but not always and if you look at the UCL winners, not all of them won the league same season, meaning if given the offer, Real would prefer UCL over anything else.

Not every team is like that, but UCL is the most important cup and everyone would prefer to win just that and nothing else. Real did manage to turn themselves into a "tournament" club instead of a league one, there is a difference there.

Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world, no doubt. They weren’t the best team in Europe last season though even though they won it. Man City were far better than them but Real defended like dogs, got some luck and held out for penalties. Even Dortmund should have been 1 or 2 goals up before Carvajal scored.

No doubt Real will be big contenders again but there will be 4 or 5 other teams at least that can win it. I don’t know what more Mbappe will give Real, he didn’t win the CL with PSG and he had a mediocre Euros with France. He is not on the level of peak Messi or Ronaldo.

With the current players in Real Madrid team there is no doubt that they are capable of winning champions league back to back and this is not something new to them because they have done it before. I don't see any club that is capable of kicking them out of the league next season due to so many reasons. City is weak to withstand Real Madrid which they could not do last season without Mbappe .

I don't think of seeing any surprises on who will be the winner but teams that we don't expect can surprise us with their performances and we might see a different club playing the finals with Real Madrid again next season.

So far we have been too focused on always making Manchester City and Madrid favorite challengers for the Champions League title, without looking at the possibility that other teams will rise next season, although in terms of quality teams like Madrid and Manchester City have everything they need to become title challengers, however what happened in Dortmund last season should be an experience for us so as not to close our eyes in seeing the opportunity for surprises that might happen again next season in the Champions League, in fact we are all very aware that the teams that have played in the Champions League so far have been the best teams. in Europe, but we often close our eyes because just see the glory of Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League.

Next season the big teams that were previously in decline will start to make a lot of improvements in the quality of their teams, Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Intermilan and Juventus, doesn't they still very worthy of being our favorites in the Champions League next season?
 Apart from that, we also must not forget the possibility of surprises in the Champions League like last season, teams such as Aston Villa, Girona, Atlanta and Leverkusen of course don't just want to be spectators and supplement their quota in the Champions League without the fight they provide.
