So that the main point, Real Madrid was able to play very well before Mbappe arrival and for next season when Mbappe is with them, it is clear that Real Madrid strength really cannot be underestimated anymore.
Even their eternal rivals, namely Barcelona, will feel how difficult and strong Real Madrid performance is, there will be lot of pressure that Barcelona will feel if they compete for the La Liga or UCL titles.
Even though surprises could happen, at least what Real Madrid has gives them very big opportunity for next season.

The fact is that this season Real Madrid was able to win the race for the UCL trophy, a great success achieved by Real Madrid before Mbappe arrival. The squad managed by Ancelotti will be even more frightening next season, Mbappe arrival will add sharpness to the front line and make it easier to penetrate the opponent's defense.

I don't think Barcelona is able to compete with Real Madrid in the title race with all the limitations they face, Manchester City is the ideal rival for Real Madrid in fighting for the UCL title next season. The strength of these two clubs is almost equal, in the last meeting they had to go through a penalty shootout to determine the winner. I really hope that Real Madrid and Manchester City both make it to the final because it will produce a more exciting match than the final this season.

Barcelona might not be a rival in Laliga, and it is impossible for them to be a rival in UCL for Real Madrid. Real Madrid might make it to the finals, that is if they are not being kicked out in the group stage. However, the chance of that happening is slim. Manchester City should be able to go far next season if they did not clash with Real Madrid early like this past season.

I hope to see a different club in the finals if any of these two clubs did not make it to the finals. Next season is hard to predict with the current informations on ground. I want to see that different club apart from Real Madrid and City that will surprise the world just like what Dortmund did.
