Regarding Bayer Leverkusen, of course they still have a good chance next season in the Champions League to get good results. At least, qualifying for the last 16 or reaching the quarter-finals would certainly be a good result for Bayer Leverkusen. But indeed, at least because Xabi Alonso still has great abilities, maybe the result could be more likely to qualify for the semifinals, who knows. But regarding Barcelona, ​​basically Barcelona has no problems with their squad and performance.

Because after all, Barcelona's only problem is their poor finances. Of course, because Barcelona's poor finances are difficult to overcome from season to season, Barcelona will continue to have difficulty improving the quality of their team from season to season too. Even though Barcelona succeeded in appointing Hansi Flick as their new manager next season but still, because of Barcelona's poor finances, it will certainly be difficult for Hansi Flick to improve Barcelona's performance.

Bayer Leverkusen had quite an impressive performance last season and it seems with what they have got, it's quite reasonable that they have pretty high expectations next season. I think if the team stays together like their squad last season or even signs new players that they really need, then Leverkusen will be a team to be considered in the Champions League. Especially if Xabi Alonso and his players know what caused them to fail in the Europa League final, then Bayer Leverkusen will have a chance in the hunt for the Champions League trophy.

For the first time in since the UEFA Champions League competition was rebranded in 1992, Aston Villa will play in club football's most prestigious competition and the manager that'll lead them in the competition is no other than the very experienced Unai Emery. The former Sevilla boss is the most successful manager in the history of the UEFA Europa League competition but when it comes to the Champions League, he's yet to record any success. The quality of players at Aston Villa is strong enough to have a good campaign in the competition but I don't think they're strong enough to get past the quarter final stage.
The other clubs that aren't regular in the competition such a Girona, Bologna and Bayer Leverkusen I think also stands a good chance of making it outside the group stage of the competition

People, Anfield is buzzing right now. It is electrified. Everybody is fired about this new coach; who wouldnt be? You've got Salah, a world-class talent, leading the attack. You already have a good team. Theres the foundation. But Klopp left some large shoes to occupy. Each of us loved Klopp, right? The man is a legends. This new coach, we gotta give him time. See how the team does. Allow us to see how they fit. If they regularly win, control those European heavyweights, well then we can begin to discuss surpassing expectations. This will be an excellent season.

It's quite surprising how English premier league teams end up disappointing us when it comes to competing in the champions league year in year out for several seasons now. The premier league has proven itself to be the most outstanding league among the top leagues in Europe. Couches, players and fans from various leagues talk about how competitive and difficult the Premier league is but they usually failed to prove their worth in the champions league. Apart from Manchester city who's been proven otherwise in the competition, the rest of the teams play like an underdog when they meet teams outside premier league. It's a new season and every team is on the run to improve their performance, let see how their performance will be this coming season.


This can not be denied! Experience plays a greater role as far as champions league is concern, it's what Madrid has been banking upon all this while. I know the quality of team squad and their performance also matters but UCL is not just like domestic league where you meet with your opponents on weekly basis. Participating in the league for several years and winning on several occasions has given Madrid require experience in the champions league which put them ahead of other teams. Leverkusen is presently on a good run but they actually don't have experience compared to their counterpart Munich when it comes to UCL competition.

Aston Villa has Unay Emery and we all know he is experience manager for European Competitions and i am sure he can able to bringing Aston Villa to performing well so although Aston Villa status in Champion League is only mediocre team but i am sure they can make big teams gets in trouble but for new comer i personally more interested want to see the performance of Girona in this competition because in Laliga they have done well and recently Girona manager Michel Sanchez has been announce as the best manager in Laliga for season 2023/2024 and their striker Artem Dovbyk also recognized as Laliga top scorer so i am curious whether they can play well in this competition or not because in Laliga Girona under Michel Sanchez has displayed attacking style and very entertaining besides them Bologna also very interesting because similar to Girona this is their first experience to playing at Champion League but unfortunately they have to changing manager because Thiago Motta has decided to moved to Juventus

Leverkusen are on a great run with Xabi Alonso. They can't be underestimated in the Champions League at all. However there is still a huge experience and success gap between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.  

Bayern Munich have a great history with 6 titles here. Leverkusen have only 1 runner-up season and that's all. They have a great momentum recently but experience plays a really important role in the Champions League. I don't think Leverkusen will do better than them honestly but it is just my opinion.  


Barcelona will need time and new transfers to bring back their strong days. Hansi Flick is a great manager choice but the squad should be more competitive while Real Madrid is signing Mbappe.  

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.
