There are 36 teams competing in the 2024/2025 UCL but the thread is packed with only discussions about Real Madrid and what could be Mbappe's first UCL title. I know that Real Madrid are the kings of UCL for years now but it's worth noting that on those recent years they won the UCL, they came very close to losing it. The final against Liverpool, the comebacks against City, Chelsea and most recently, defeating City and Dortmund to win it the just concluded season.

My point is, there is still a very big chance that Madrid would not win the 2024/2025 UCL. It's a long shot even though Madrid has the dream team.

The team is Real Madrid, dude. They have a lot of experienced players and a lot of young, talented players. They're always looking for more prizes. So what now that Mbappe is in the mix? Remove it from your mind. I'm really scared by their attack. You can already taste the excitement among the fans as they wait for another Champions League win

Whatever you want can happen in football. Bayern Munich is always a threat, Manchester City still has a lot of punch, and even teams like Dortmund or Inter could surprise us. However, I would still bet my hard-earned cash on Real Madrid if I had to choose among the teams playing right now. They're amazing. What about Mbappe? That is simply not possible

Real Madrid always has a place in the Champions League, that's why they are always a hot topic among football fans, they have a very good squad and also their squad is even, especially with the many potential young players they have in the squad, it adds strength and confidence in them that they will be able to defend the Champions League title, that is a very reasonable prediction.
Although in the end they will not easily defend the title, because other teams also pose a real threat to Real Madrid, one of which is the team you mentioned. The competition here will get tighter and for now the difference is in terms of the percentage of opportunities that each team has. We cannot deny that currently Real Madrid is the team holding the highest percentage to become champions again in the Champions League next season with the new format which will be introduced for the first time.
