I predict that the next Champions League will be won again by a club that has at least one Croat in the team, as in the last 10 years According to the current situation, the following teams have Croats: Real, Bayern, Chelsea, Inter or Atletico, and some of them will, according to the existing tradition, win the Champions League
It's nice if they can win again. In Spain I am happy with Real Madrid, of course I support them champions. But I'm also realistic, madrid next season has a lot of players of aging age. I realized guessing from the beginning of the group phase was very difficult.
A lot of the big transfers from EPL clubs it looks like they will increasingly become Favourites. Like Man City, Liverpool they got great young players. In addition last season the EPL clubs have always dominated going into the top four of the knockout phase except Man United. For Bayern, Chelsea, Inter or Atletico I don't think I'm including them in the team of potential UCL champions next season.
Interesting to check I think, is it true that in the last 10 years the winning team of the Champions League has at least 1 person or a player who is from Croatia. After I checked and the results were correct, here's the list.
2022 : Real Madrid - Luka Modric
2021 : Chelsea - Mateo Kovacic
2020 : Bayern Munich - Ivan Perisic
2019 : Liverpool - Dejan Lovren
2018 : Real Madrid - Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic
2017 : Real Madrid - Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic
2016 : Real Madrid - Luka Modric
2015 : Barcelona - Ivan Rakitic
2014 : Real Madrid - Luka Modric
2013 : Bayern Munich - Mario Mandzukic
I never thought something like this could happen and I think it's pretty great if the Croatian national team can give a good result too, but anyway at least this can be considered for the Champions League next season. Interesting to look forward to!
