They've literally just had this coach and manager come into the club, we'll have to give him like a season or two to settle down completely. I've read how he is a good coach.
No news has been said about Mo Salah, I will even consider him a Liverpool legend over most of these players who must have played for th club.
The statistics are their you can check them out if they're wrong or correctly said.

Nunez is not that bad, he just needs to calm down, this is a player Ronaldo rates. He will have to be hardworking and smart so he can be ahead and catch up with the likes of those that has successfully played for the club and for the Liverpool badge.

The Champions League Competition would be difficult to predict honestly. Let's take it one-step at a time.

While it lasted, Liverpool were undoubtedly one of the best clubs in not just England but in the whole Europe but in the last two seasons, they've actually noy been the Liverpool we used to know between 2018/19 to 2021/22 seasons. Some of the big players who were the reason behind their success of those years left the club and the ones who were still with them stopped performing at the top of their strength. Jurgen Klopp announced he was gonna leave the club at the end of last season of which he did and the club went on to announce another new manager who'll take over from him.
Arne Slot who's the new manager of Liverpool have a lot of work to do if he truly wants to return them to where they belong. Mohammed Salah who's undoubtedly been the club's best player in the last decade isn't performing at the top of his strength again probably because of age. I think the club really needs to sign a lot of players in the summer in order to become competitive for next season.

Adding to what has been responded to you, which day status of Liverpool for the past few seasons, I no longer see them as serious contenders for the Champions League. The lost their ability to contest effectively in the Champions League when they lost Sadio mané. We must come today realization or understanding that there are many other good teams better than Liverpool. For instance, Dortmund and Leverkusen are to me better than the Liverpool of today.

As Doomloop observed, Liverpool just changed their coach, you don't expect them to continue with the momentum of Klopp. It is possible that the momentum could and if care not taken, drop low before they could rise again.

Expecting a lot from Liverpool made sense until now, but I think it's time to realize that things aren't as good as it used to be. They do not play with some of the great players that they used to have, and that is understandable, plus they lost Klopp, plus Salah is on the edge, maybe he could leave too.

When you think about all those, who are they going to win the league with? Nunez? Of course not, the fact that they finished third with the current squad shows that if this squad is third, next years squad most probably will be much worse and I think it is going to be something that will take a while and I do not think that we are going to see anything change. In the end, they are going to be good one day again, just not seeing that soon.

Since the announcement of Mbappe as a new player in Real Madrid, a lot of us have assumed that Real Madrid will be unbeatable because of their squad and how strong they can be this coming season with the type of squad depth they have. Not just now you mentioned about Kroos in specific who had already left the club, the space he has left in that midfield needs to be taken over by an experience midfielder. I know he has a replacement already and have played and watched how Kroos handled that midfield during his time in the club, but that is not still convincing enough to make them suitable for that position and make the team not lacking in that position. There will definitely be changes in that midfield and a lot of lapses too, if they don’t cover up much those lapses, that will be their weak point that opponents will use to penetrate them despite having this formidable squad.

Real Madrid shouldn't just be the focus here. I had already forgotten that UEFA had already implemented a new format for the champions League. This post just reminded me right away. The new format is very interesting and more especially it compromises more clubs. That is from 32 to 36. Then, what I really don't like about the new format is that champions League teams won't fall back to the Europa League.

There's this vibe and spice that the champions league teams add to Europa when they fall off from the champions League. The speculation will now be, will the original Europa clubs win the cup or those who came from the champions league will. That speculation has been keeping Europa League interesting for so many years.

With Mbappe they will become a better team. No team other than Manchester City can stop them. When these two teams meet before the final, it's an early final. Apart from them, Arsenal can turn into an ambitious team. With Arteta, they are becoming a better team every year. After a few good signings, they can become a better team. Of course, it is a bit early to talk now. But I'm sure these teams are the favorites of the majority.

Also, I have this observation. Arsenal and Manchester City are in fierce competition with each other in the Premier League. And they tire each other out in the league. But Real Madrid are in a very easy race in La Liga. They don't go to the Champions League tired.

The new format of the Champions League is definitely interesting. And I think we can expect some surprises in this new format. But it is probably still going to be the same for Real Madrid because it is actually not much about the formats, it is about the quality of the team. And when it comes to the Champions League, Real Madrid has the best quality. I don’t see how this format is going to certainly make things very difficult for Real Madrid. Also with the level of the squad that Real Madrid has, they are not going to face too much difficulties than they were already facing recently. That’s gonna happen for at least the next two or three years.

The Chances that Raal Madrids performance will drop next season, they are even strengthening the team with the transfer of new players especially the french international, all this is in the bid to making sure they are not in a position where they will have to struggle at any point next season, even in the champions league or their domestic league too, they are going to make sure they give in their very best and possibly win the two trophies again.

I know other teams too want to have the privilege and chance to win the champions league or even get to the finals but I know Madrid will not be the team to drop and allow others get ahead of them to winning the champions league, it's very possible it happens tho and I'm not undermining the fact that such is and can be possible, seeing how Madrid was carful to not making a mistake the champions league finals so they will be able to win the league title, they are going to make sure they don't have much challenge in their form this season.

The strength of Madrid is such that they have a reserve team that is almost as good as the main team so I'm not seeing it that they will drop form by next season. For now I wouldn't want to be too quick just like your said to jumping into conclusion but to wait till the beginning of the season and when the season has gone half way then I can say for sure that there are chance that a particular team may have a better chance of winning the league over the other.

This is something related to the way of thinking. So the scenario that occurs when we say that we should be able to see Arsenal becoming champions in the Champions League, that's in short. And Arsenal should even be able to become Premier League champions this season.

I will say something that is a fact, because we have seen a full season of competition both at domestic level and at European level. And the fact that we have now seen Real Madrid win their 15th Champions League title confirms that they are the best team at the moment.

Yes, I know that when a team faces a different team we can see different results. But now we can't speculate, because the season is over and we have seen who will win the Champions League. Like it or not, we have to accept this as a fact that we have seen for ourselves. Maybe we will speculate again next season, because this season has already ended.

However, I will not condemn opinions like that, because maybe we have different thoughts, but I am only talking about the facts that happened.

Based on teams' performances this season and with their current squads, if I should choose Real Madrid and Manchester City should be the top favorite teams to win the Champions League next season. However, I will not be surprised to see other teams doing well in the Champions League. Any team can come up with great performances. Let's take Dortmund as an example. many people did not believe that Dortmund would make it to the Champions League final. So, next season, I am expecting teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Leverkusen, and Inter Milan to also do well in the Champions League.Real Madrid have added Mbappe to their squad to strengthen their team, and with this, they really have a big chance of winning next season's Champions League.

Real Madrid always tries to perform optimally in the Champions League because the level of competition is very competitive, one of the reasons why Real Madrid is always the favorite team is because they have a winning mentality. Real Madrid is trying to improve its quality by recruiting Mbappe because their level of awareness is that it is very difficult to defend the UCL trophy rather than winning it as they did this season.

When entering a new season there will always be new competition presented by teams trying to win this prestigious trophy, other teams will make changes to their squad in order to provide more competitive competition. Regarding Mbappe who has never won the Champions League, he has started a new chapter in his career, now the opportunity is wide open to win the UCL trophy with Real Madrid. Real Madrid always wants to be a team that always wins trophies in every competition, its success so far is because it never underestimates other teams.

And of course no one can dispute the fact that Kilian Mbappe is one of the promising players in the world right now with his performance in the last season and a season before then. Having Mbappe in Real Madrid is one of the most interesting and beautiful moves to take by a team that's already the defending champions of the last season. What this will make up is a strong and unbreakable team that have high chances and expectations for winning big in this coming season. Having Bellingham, Carvajal, Rudiger, Valverde, Rodrygo, Vini Jr., Kroos and other players on board is a full squad for Real Madrid. The truth is, everyone can predict that Real Madrid have the best chances of wining this coming season based on the current knowledge available.

Even if, for example, Liverpool and Arsenal play against Real Madrid, in reality Real Madrid will still win. Because after all, Manchester City won the Premier League trophy and in fact Real Madrid still managed to beat and eliminate Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. After all,in reality Liverpool also failed in the Europa League with a terrible defeat against Atalanta and also, Arsenal also actually lost in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. With results like that, I think it is natural and reasonable for Real Madrid to remain the best and there is no better team than Real Madrid. Because after all, if you think and/or assume Arsenal is better than Real Madrid,  then Arsenal should be able to win the Champions League trophy and not Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has had a wonderful season, with better performances throughout the season since they were able to dominate the championship. But stated that they cannot compare any team with Real Madrid except Manchester City. I didn't agree with that because there are so many clubs that are also better than Real Madrid. It's just that those clubs are in different leagues, teams like Liverpool and Arsenal also did better this season. 
 
Furthermore, since Mbappé has been signed in to Real Madrid again at the end of this season, let's see if he can bring positive changes to Real Madrid, because the way people's are given Real Madrid the moral that they're now stronger than before since they have vicious before, and the fact that Mbappé has finally joined them again may be the next season's champion league might be under their control.

I don't see any changes in Manchester city squad and I know that Pep will take UCL more serious next season because he is now used to winning EPL. Real Madrid might not win UCL next season but they will fight to see how possible it will be for them to defend the trophy. I would not involve Bayern Munich yet until I see their performance next season.

Who knows, a different club that is not having a big name like all these clubs that you mentioned above might be the club to win some big clubs. Football is full of surprises and our predictions don't mean that it is possible for it to come true.

They are always the top favorites because they know how to play the Champions League football more than any other team in the world; and now that they have signed Mbappe that has not won Champions League in his career, they can be more aggressive next season and they can win it just as any other person is thinking.

But, counting out some teams is not proper; just as Madrid strengthens their squad, any other team is doing that too and they can be more stronger and more competitive than we are expecting; therefore, seeing other teams trying to overtake Madrid should not be a surprise because in today’s world of football, never underestimate any team.

From the umpteenth time people say Real Madrid will win again, I believe that because they have won three times in a row so it will not be strange to win again.

I don't think it's necessary to underestimate other clubs that are small to win who knows behind it all the underdog team that beat Real Madrid even though statistically it is impossible, but there is power sometimes we never know when surprises come.

You believe Real Madrid are champions - we believe
Manchester City as the second candidate - Of course this team has quality.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern, Inter Milan and others? They could finish better than we think.

Real Madrid strength will certainly increase in the face of next season's competition, the factor still being handled by Ancelotti is also the thing that most strengthens assumptions about Real Madrid ability to dominate the Champions League. Other teams also need to increase their strength to compete with the defending champions. Manchester City is considered a team that can match the strength of Real Madrid based on the composition of players and coaches they currently have.

Other teams also cannot be underestimated because in football there are always unexpected surprises, Arsenal could act as a dark horse team that can stop the leading teams in this competition. Leverkusen will also try to start a new adventure after successfully improving their performance, they managed to qualify for the Champions League after winning the Bundesliga trophy as an unbeatable team. Even though Real Madrid has the status of the defending champion team and the most favored team in this competition, they must remain careful and not underestimate the strength of other teams because it is possible that a team that is not seeded will be able to show its best game.

When it comes to football, no club should be underestimated. Real Madrid won the last Champions League, and I am sure they will also do everything in their power to win the next Champions League, but the season hasn’t started yet, and we don’t know how each club will perform. Don’t be surprised if you see Real Madrid's performance drop by next season, other teams might be performing better than them. So before I make any predictions on the club that will be winning, I will have to wait till the season starts and see the performance of each club.
