Next season the champions league competition will undergo a significant change in the competition format, so I hope the change in format will make the champions league competition even better and of course provide a tighter competition for us to watch, the champions league is of course the most prestigious competition in the european continent so far and even the club will have great prestige if they manage to get the trophy, So it is not surprising that all club clubs in Europe really want to play in the league that has the highest level in Europe, every season the competition in the Champions League is very fierce because it is only filled by the best club clubs from various leagues in Europe.

Next season there are several surprise teams that will try to compete to be able to perform well in the Champions League, Leverkusen, Aston Villa, Bologna, Girona and Atlanta will of course add colour to the competition in the Champions League next season is increasingly colorful because of the presence of a team team that we can indeed say as a newcomer, betwen in the teams, Aston Villa will of course be the center of our attention later,  Because they can be said to be the most surprising team this season to qualify for the Champions League after competing with the big teams of the Premier League.

The beautiful farewell that Liverpool fans hoped for did not happen, Liverpool were surprisingly eliminated from the European League, and after that they experienced a setback in the Premier League towards the end of the season. Expectations for Liverpool are actually quite high this season, many people predict they will continue to pressure Manchester City until the end of the season. However, the fact is that only Arsenal can do it, I don't think Arne Slot will be able to achieve great success in his first season. The legacy left by Jurgen Klopp will be very difficult for the managers who come after him to surpass it, it will take a long time to surpass it. Liverpool squad is still very ideal, but Arne Slot still needs time to adapt to the intense competition in the Premier League. However, if Salah leaves, it will be a major blow for Liverpool, they will find it difficult to win without the Egyptian player.

Liverpool not winning either of the two trophies(Europa League or Premier League) last season was surprising to many because the majority of football fans were anticipating a trophy win for Liverpool towards Klopp, to honor him for all his wonderful years as Liverpool coach.
For the results and predictions to turn otherwise, to see the Liverpool team going trophyless to even lose to Atalanta for the Europa League finals was unimaginable because I thought they would for sure reach the finals and lift it since they have allowed Manchester City and Arsenal to top them on the Premier League table. Let them take the Europa League trophy to consolidate themselves rather than having no trophy at the end of the season. That was my imagination

Liverpool will miss Klopp based on the great work he did in Liverpool and how he transformed the club to be stronger and competitive in EPL. His departure might have a little problem in the club's performance and the players too. But I believe that changes is what we cannot stop from happening, and that is the reason a new coch will continue from where Klopp stopped.

Slot will try his best to see how he can balance the club performance to that of Klopp so that the fams will have confidence in him, because a lot will be expected from him. Sometimes, it is always difficult for a new coach to adapt with his new team but if he is a flexible coach, that will not be a problem for Slot.

ofcourse it is true that the champions league is more complicated because as the name implies,it is champions from the different league that are in that league.The competition is between teams that won their league or finished 1st to fifth in their different league that play champions league,so it must be tough to play there.
Aston Villa were able to qualify for next season,alongside Arsenal, Liverpool and City who were champions of the league.Aston Villa will test themselves against the champions next season.

Klopp has shown his capacity as a great coach since he took over, previously Liverpool had slumped in the league and Champions League but after Klopp arrival, slowly Liverpool rose and could end their negative trend after 30 years, Klopp ability to set strategies and also his ability to harness the potential of each player certainly makes him different from other coaches today, Many coaches are confused and make club often experience a decline in performance if some of their players are injured, but not with Klopp who is actually able to maximize other players to be able to play in other positions to cover injured players positions.

Currently arne slot has officially coached liverpool next season, although indeed arne slot does not have much experience in the Champions league so far, of course we can't underestimate him later, arne slot only has to optimize the performance of every liverpool player so that it will make it easier for him to bring liverpool far in the Champions League next season,   Liverpool fans must still have a positive mind on their current coach because indeed Liverpool recruited Arne Slot, of course, with consideration and also in-depth references so far.

Klopp leaving is a really nasty BUMMER. He was a tactical master, extracting from those Liverpool lads every bit of ability. Indeed, no storybook ending with medals; yet, for you, it is the beautiful game. Now, this Arne Slot buddy intervening? It is a whole different game.Champions League is not a joke, hence Slot requires time to shape that team into his vision. Everyone will be breathing down his neck, evaluating him against Klopp, but perhaps the man has some secret plans

You're giving the City too much credit. How do Real and City dominate the Champions League if only Real dominates there? City is in the same crowd as the rest.
City are literally a little different from the other loser (PSG), due to the fact that in a season when Real was in crisis (even La Liga was lost to crisis Barcelona) and Bayern was also in crisis, they were able to take the title.
I hope City get banned from participating in European competitions, cheaters are something we need to get rid of.

You are right, a new coach will definitely need time to show they are worthy of being a coach, especially if he replaces Jurgen Klopp who has been at Liverpool for years. That is definitely something difficult, because the philosophy that Jurgen Klopp has built may change and of course it will require a transition, especially if most of the players are Jurgen Klopp's legacy.

Arne Slot has a task that is not easy, he bears the burden of everyone in order to bring Liverpool to play well, at least he must be the same or even better than Jurgen Klopp's coaching era. I hope Liverpool will also give him a decent opportunity, because he has to work under the shadow of the achievements achieved by Jurgen Klopp during his time at Liverpool. I hope he can also relax or not feel burdened by the expectations on his shoulders. Because any pressure cannot be controlled well, it will also have a negative impact on Arne Slot's work.

I too early speculating for Liverpool appearance in Champion League for season 2024/25 because they have new manager and will adopt with new tactician after replacing Jurgen Klopp with Arne Slot. Need time watching with Liverpool performance recently in the early matches on Premier League before predicting with Liverpool has potential or not in Champion League after absent last season and return back for next season under new manager.

Arne Slot need time to make chemistry with some players and need adapt well his tactician, its not easy because Arne Slot replacing Jurgen Klopp as good reputation after winning Champion League with Liverpool and he has huge pressure must be success for their appearance in Champion League next season.
Behind new format for Champion League season 2024/25 need waiting awhile after qualifier playoff round and looking the opportunity with Liverpool opponent teams in phase round has chance qualify to knock out round or not?

The new coach my want to prove that he's a good coach and deserving of the job given him and for that reason would want to impress the management and the fans so he will try to do his very best as a coach, he's got good quality players still in the team so of he's able to build on klops legacies and also have a good tactics in place, Liverpool may not suffer next season they will be able to maintain their form and possibly dare to win the champions league or the premier league.

It will take the new coach beyond a season to prove he was better than klop, the achievements of klop in Liverpool is just so much that he can't just beat the recordd in a season and expect to be seen as been better than klop was all the years he was at Liverpool and even gave the team a very good face lift across Europe,in subsequent seasons if he's able to consistently get the team to good points beyond that point which they have been, we could say that chances are that he would want to supercede klops records.

Liverpool next season will certainly be different from the previous season because next season Liverpool will have a new coach who is ready to bring changes to their game. Liverpool has quite strong squad depth and they should be able to compete more strongly in the Champions League next season. One of the things that new coaches need to implement is a better strategy when dealing with equally strong teams.

Next season Champions League, of course there will be many new teams joining, aka those who have been absent for a long time, now returning to join the Champions League. So the competition will be more interesting because several teams that rarely meet will be very difficult to predict the final result.  Aston Villa will also enter the Champions League next season where they are a surprise team with quite impressive performances last season. I want to look forward to the 4 teams from the Premier League representatives being able to reach the final this season, I also place that hope on Arsenal.

Liverpool team is currently performing very well, will perform even better this season as the new coach will definitely try to show better experience than the previous coach. However, the players in the Liverpool team are very good and experienced, where Mohamed Salah is located, they are likely to perform much better. Because he has good control over every player in the attacking department, and more support from the coach has made the team stronger.

Harry Kane if he retires today will go down in history as one of the best strikers of English descent in the past 3-5 decades but will never be remembered for winning trophies and that's what makes the career of the England national team captain incomplete. After his years at Tottenham Hotspur that saw him score a lot of goals, and breaking so many records, Harry Kane decided to move to Bayern Munich last summer transfer window in his quest to win his first trophy as a player but unfortunately, his first season with the club didn't yield any positive result despite his very impressive number of goals.
I think he still have a great chance of breaking the deadlock in the coming seasons as a Bayern Munich player. The England international is currently with the national team squad in preparation for the upcoming UEFA Euros Championship as he continues to hunt for his first trophy. Hopefully, luck shines on him this time.

Of course, we should also know that champions League is totally different from premier League and we know that premier League is more easier so there are clubs that could be doing very well there but cannot survive if they qualified for the champions league, I no Liverpool is a very strong club but there strength is not enough to even get to the champions League finals, imagine how good Liverpool performance is on the previous season but could not even win the Europa League they had an upper chance of winning, so actually for now I don't think they stand a chance for the champions league unless they proof otherwise on there performance this season, however for now the only club on the premier League I have more confident on is actually Manchester City because they are always a threat on the champions league every season.

So far, Kane hasn't had any luck, but I think his chances are still quite big, because Kane is at the right club to make his dreams come true. It's not a curse at all, Kane has proven his quality and he managed to live up to expectations, Bayern's failure is not Kane's fault. Kane was top scorer in his first season, I think that could prove that everything is going well for him at Bayern.

Kane is under contract until June 2027, meaning Kane not only has the chance to win the Bundesliga trophy, he also has the chance to win the Champions League. Kompany as the new manager will continue to rely on Kane on the front lines, by building better squad depth, Bayern has the opportunity to take over the dominance.

Bayern will remain respected in any competition, they will always be one of the strong candidates in all competitions. Sooner or later Kane will definitely taste success, it's true that he just needs to be patient and continue to show his best performance. Next season the competition will not be easy, Bayern are still highly regarded by their competitors.

Untill the start of the season, whether they get to improve or keep on lagging I can't fully take Liverpool as a threat in the Champions league, going too far to postulating them to winning the Champions league title even with Klopp as their manager or Arne Slot whom we are yet to guarantee his success in managing the club. Liverpool as one of the big teams this season to qualify for the Champions league may be able to defend their privileged by getting to quarter finals then the rest may become a mystery whether they succeed from there or not.

Talking about these two teams, they have never once faced each other in the final round and they always meet in the group, knockout and semifinal stages. It would be an ideal final that is eagerly awaited if next season or one day Real Madrid plays Manchester City and it will be a life and death match in which they will fight to win the title.

Head to head or meetings between Real Madrid and Manchester City always present their own drama, but the most unforgettable is the phenomenal comeback in 2022 when Real Madrid was able to turn around an impossible situation. In fact, Real Madrid's chance of winning is only 1%, compared to Manchester City's 99%. However, Real Madrid also experienced a humiliating defeat when they were beaten by Manchester City in 2023 and Manchester City emerged as champions that year. Real Madrid finally managed to take revenge on Manchester City this year, ending up as champions in 2024. It is a thrill to watch these two teams compete.

When he came to Bayern Munich with the hope of winning the title, Kane actually had to suffer bad luck because when he arrived Bayern Munich failed to become champions. Kane is one of those players who really deserves a title, but he hasn't been able to get it. Either because he was unlucky or there was something else that made it very difficult for him to win the title. And even after Bayern Munich's failure this season, a narrative emerged that Kane was a curse. Lol
But I'm sure sooner or later he will be able to get it if he is still at Bayern Munich, maybe he has to be a little patient to get it. At Tottenham itself he performed very well, but Tottenham was a team that could not compete very closely for the title, so he always failed there. And also Tottenham is in the English Premier League so we know what the competition is like there. Kane is a star player without a star.
