In football nothing is impossible, everything is possible. In fact, there is no guarantee that Real Madrid will be able to retain last season's trophy even if they have Mbappe at the moment. Likewise with Manchester City, it does not guarantee that they will win the Champions League trophy next season. but at the very least, if this is Pep Guardiola's last season, he will devote all his energy to trying to do the best for his team before leaving TheCitizen. Likewise with Don Carlo, with the presence of Mbappe and maybe some of the defenders they have brought in, the hope is that Real Madrid can defend the trophy they won last season. whether it's the Domestic League, or the UCL. Theoretically, Madrid has a chance for that. However, Manchester City is also famous for its tactics and very competitive players.
On the other hand, perhaps there are clubs that were not favorites before but were able to overthrow favorite teams such as Real Madrid and Manchester City. provided that, apart from having quite good depth, luck is on their team's side. Yes, anything can happen in football. After all, during the match, anything can happen. We have shown in the last two seasons that one of the teams that entered the final was previously not seeded. Maybe, in the next season, the team that enters the final will not be the most favored team.
The Champions League has a different atmosphere, it is not easy for each team to achieve the title according to their wishes. However, the format of next season's Champions League has changed, which will of course mean that every coach must be careful in managing his players. Real Madrid is always the favorite in the tournament but of course there is no guarantee at all. Manchester City are also favorites due to Pep Guardiola's influence, but the tight competition can sometimes make him frustrated. However, what is clear is that the Champions League always attracts a lot of attention and is very likely to produce new champions next season.
