Teams like Girona and Bologna are not teams that often play in the Champions League so their level of play will be very different, even though both of them played well in their respective leagues last season. As we know, the Champions League is very competitive and the competition here is quite big so it will be difficult for them to qualify for the next stage. Every season there will definitely be one team that is quite surprising but when entering the next season most of them lose their best form.
Without having experienced players it will be much harder to play in the Champions League and even we see how strong teams that often play in the league also have difficulty facing the tight competition. I don't think both of them will easily get through the group phase because there will be quite tight competition from the opponents they will face.
Of course, the Champions League is a difficult competition and not easy to predict. So far only Real Madrid is easy to predict, they are the only team that has qualified for the final more often than other contestants. Girona and several other new teams look like they will lose early, in fact I don't expect such teams to make it to the semifinals.
Just like last season, Real Madrid and Manchester City are the two main favorites to win the title. Other teams such as Arsenal, Bayern Munich, PSG, Barcelona, Inter and others always have difficulties, but it does not rule out the possibility that one of the teams mentioned above will be in the final next season. Even though there is confidence about the potential of Girona and several new teams in the Champions League, their probability is very low.
