Apart from several players who were injured and came and retired in these two teams, in fact I still see that the level between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League next season is the same, the only difference between the two is the mentality of winning again in the League. Champion next season. Because Real Madrid will be too difficult to beat if they reach the final in the Champions League, so any team must think about how to get rid of Real Madrid early before the team reaches the final.
Looking at the kind of squad Madrid has got now, I believe if they get to the champion's league finals again, they are winning the trophy undoubtedly, I know Madrid desires to win the champions League again especially as mbappe who has dreamt of lifting the trophy just joined them, this will evwn be the first champions league after the changes for the champions league was effected, so winning the champions league at this time will really be historic.
We'll just have to wait and see what happens in the Champions League because even though Madrid are getting stronger in terms of players and there's a good chance they'll make it back to the final, we can't be sure that they'll be in the final again until we see their performance.
The season hasn't started yet and we also don't know how the draw will turn out because to reach the final there are a number of things that we have to consider because apart from the performance, the draw and the opponents that will be faced are also important because there could be a surprise just like before where the situation in the draw sometimes becomes a difficult condition to choose because it will bring together several big clubs.
We know that in the last few seasons, especially these 3 seasons, Madrid has always reached a fairly decent position, even 2 champions and 1 time eliminated in the semi-finals, but even so the confidence for them must also be seen from several factors later because there could be surprises this season. although I also still expect Madrid to be the best again but we also cannot ensure this early on, especially before the season.
