To say that they will be championship candidates again next season I would agree with that, but to say they are winners for next season I think is too hasty.
Even though I like this club and hope they win the Champions League again next season and even new targets such as the treble winner are always expected for Madrid but still saying they are winners from now on I think it's too much and seems arrogant, because after all the Champions League is not an easy competition and there will be many obstacles to become a winner in this competition. There are still some big clubs that are worth paying attention to, especially for Manchester City, which in the last few seasons they have always been successful in setting records at the end of the season.

I agree with what you've said in this regard because we still have to wait to see what Ancelotti will do in the coming season to make Madrid better.
The attacking line, which last season at the start of the season some people doubted because Madrid boldly released Benzema without looking for new attacking options and only added Joselu on loan, actually managed to bring them to glory, but this season we don't seem to have to worry about that again because apart from Vini, Rodrygo and Jude who are their goal machines, for next season there will be Mbappe who will certainly be the center of attention in his first season at Madrid.
However, there may be some changes in the defense that should be noted at this point. Alaba still has an ACL that we don't know when he will recover, Nacho has also left although there is an option for Tchouameni to be pulled back to center back but it would be more worth it if Madrid looks for new alternatives from now on to fill the defense to be more solid. As for the goalkeeper position, Kepa is set to return to Chelsea but Lunin, with his good form this season, can already compete with Courtois which makes it more interesting.

Indeed, such a thing is also not a mistake because it is still considered a prediction but in the end we also cannot assume that this is a belief that Madrid is the champion considering the season has not yet begun and we cannot be arrogant about it even though now there is Mbappe which will certainly further strengthen the current condition of Madrid.

Ancelotti always knows what he wants to do and this season actually with 2 trophies given is proof that he always does not mess with his work even though sometimes some of his decisions not to bring players always provide pros and cons and become a conversation in the end.

For this season there will definitely be some changes that occur especially for their defense and until now the rumors of Davies are still rolling while there are still several other defenders that they are currently monitoring to further strengthen the condition of the Madrid defense but they are also always silent in the matter of transferring players so we only need to wait for who else they will bring in to prepare for next season.
