It cannot be denied that Real Madrid is very ambitious to continue its success in the Champions League, this has become a tradition every season. Mbappe presence makes the depth of the Real Madrid squad more ideal, Ancelotti currently has the greatest talent which is the dream of all football managers. How big the salary bill that Real Madrid has to pay every season must of course be balanced with their success in every competition, especially in the Champions League and La Liga. Manchester City is currently a club that is considered to be close to Real Madrid level, and these two teams are certain to be favorites to win next season. After the change in format, Real Madrid has a great opportunity to set another historic record, which will ultimately make them the most trophy collectors in the Champions League.
At this time, Real Madrid has become the team that has collected the most trophies in the Champions League because Real Madrid has successfully won 15 Champions League trophies so far. However, next season could also be a very good season for Real Madrid as long as there are not many of their players injured. Because if Real Madrid continues to be managed by Ancelotti, of course there is still a big possibility for Real Madrid to win its 16th trophy next season if Manchester City does not succeed in preventing Real Madrid from winning the Champions League next season.
Player injuries are always a scourge for every team, not only Real Madrid but all teams. If many of their players are injured, of course their goals will be difficult to achieve. However, the current problem is the updated UCL league format, this is very detrimental to big teams who have to play a lot of matches and this will of course have a big impact on the stamina and fitness of the players. Because this new format will result in a lot of matches, the players don't have much rest time.
However, if you look at the squads that Real Madrid and Man City have, both teams have complete squads so that both coaches can rotate players to avoid player injuries. I am also sure that Real Madrid can defend their UCL League title next season, because the presence of Mbappe will certainly strengthen Real Madrid's depth, especially on the front line, especially as one of Mbappe's ambitions when he came to Real Madrid was to win the UCL League. the trophy he had always dreamed of.
