Due to all the surprises that I witnessed last season I wouldn't want to conclude on whom might get to the finals anymore or make any comment concerning any team but would rather wait to see how all the teams would fare, especially the new teams that would be participating in the UCL this season and I expect Liverpool to compete very well due to their recent signings which is aimed at strengthening their squad for next season.
Liverpool's failure in the 2024/25 UCL season yesterday was indeed surprising, considering that they were the team that performed most impressively in the qualifying round, but unexpectedly they were immediately eliminated in the round of 16. However, with the consistency they maintain and several changes they have made to further strengthen their squad depth, they are always the strongest candidate to win the Champions League trophy.
Yes, INTER burned out, Inter didn't know how to do things, Inzhagi certainly didn't do things right as they should have and it's strange for a coach who was above all a player, everyone makes their mistakes and as he is already a coach who has experience reaching the UCL finals, it seems luck is not on his side, not so much luck but they lost by 5 goals and that is something that is quite large, I personally would have to make a renewal to see if this time they win everything.
Simone Inzaghi is a coach who managed to bring Inter Milan to the Champions League final twice, after last playing in the Champions League final in the 2009/10 season and managed to win it. Until finally Simone Inzaghi managed to bring Inter Milan back to the Champions League final in the 2022/23 and 2024/25 seasons. But now Simone Inzaghi has chosen to leave Inter Milan, and I doubt that next season they will return to the Champions League final.
