I don't think one of the goals for Newcastle this year is the UCL championship. They will want to go to the best place they can this year. Bayern and City are really the favorite teams. Real Madrid, on the other hand, may have problems in the UCL due to the problem of missing players in the forward area. Their chances are slimmer than the two teams with Harry Kane and Haaland. It will definitely be an exciting season, we will wait and watch the winner together.
Star players will not provide a guarantee of victory, even Haaland, as Manchester City mainstay player last season in the final match, could not score a goal, instead other players appeared to score and even though Harry Kane is currently at Bayern Munich, he will not provide a guarantee of victory because of his experience. Real Madrid is still very superior by winning the most trophies in the Champions League.
Now let's try to discuss this big club, we have to remember that Madrid, who was the defending champion last year, failed last year when Manchester City appeared stronger and from this we can understand that a club that has just won the UCL title will not necessarily get another title in this season is the same as Real Madrid and we cannot favor or compare clubs just because they have quality players because I can believe that even though Real Madrid lost key players, they have a lot of experience to be able to qualify for the Champions League this year.
