Every other club are stepping up their team as Real Madrid while they are getting ready for the next season Champions league competition, and no doubt that Real has dominated the Champions league competition in this recent years, and regardless of them being the current champions league winner, Champions league is still more of an open competition each season and no team is guaranteed of the winner even though it happens that Real Madrid is dominating the competition, we quite huge number of strong Big teams that are fully ready to stop them next season.

That is 100% the case. All those titles Real Madrid could have gone to a different team. There is no doubt I guess that 95% of the people agree it is tiny little, sometimes lucky things that played in favor of Real Madrid. Look at Toni Kroos and how he said that Real Madrid is a force and they are almost never lucky, but so experienced and bla bla. Now what happened to Germany against Spain? Clearly a handball denied and that can destroy all the title dreams. It's little things sometimes a team can't even influence. And don't get me wrong: I like Kroos. I just thought that goes too far when he said that. Dortmund in the final just hit the post, not the goal. They dominated the first half. It's all these little things and I expect exactly the same for next season.

Basically, I also believe that other elite teams will still have a chance to beat Real Madrid and win the Champions League trophy. But anyway, because Real Madrid is at or has a very  good level, then ofcourse Real Madrid will always have a very good chance of getting a trophy. But indeed, to beat Real Madrid it seems like other teams also need luck, or at the same time Real Madrid gets bad luck. Because I think, maybe that's the only factor that will make Real Madrid lose and fail to get a trophy.

Because after all, I remember very well last season that it was also difficult for Real Madrid to win even though they only played against teams at a lower level in the group stage.  With the difficulties experienced by Real Madrid in the group stage, I think Real Madrid will also find it difficult to get good results in the knockout phase. But in reality, Real Madrid still managed to beat Manchester City and continued with their success in getting the trophy.
This is what I have observed about Real Madrid, they do start the competition as if they are weak in the group stage but the moment the competition gets to the knockout stage to the semifinals that it when the start playing very serious.

The second is that Real Madrid is one of the most lucky team in UCL because they always have luck when they are playing the finals than any other team and during the group stage to let's say the quarter finals, they do play with clubs that are not too strong up to them. This is why Real Madrid still stand the chance of winning UCL next season tahn any other club.
