Real Madrid is the only club that has won the UEFA Champions League trophy back-to-back. I don't see PSG following in the footsteps of Real Madrid to win the UEFA Champions League trophy back-to-back, so PSG is not the favorite to win the UEFA Champions League trophy next season.
Very true, because, considering how big clubs have recently reinforced their team ahead of next season, it definitely shows that the champion's league is going to be far more competitive than ever. But the thing with football is that we can never tell what will happen. This same PSG has what it takes to win it again, but the mentality and strength of other teams will be a factor. I guess they've made one signing so far this season if I remember correctly, but we all know that getting players is never their problem.
if I were to predict the next champion's league winner judging by what I've seen so far in the club world cup, I don't think any of the big teams will win it. We can only wait and see what the coming season has to offer. And let's not forget that this new UEFA fixture arrangement is far worse than the previous, because even big teams struggle to make it to the 8.
The tight match schedule has increased the vulnerability of player injuries, and clubs that participate in many competitions in one season will be faced with great concerns. Players do not have enough time to rest, we have seen the journey of big teams in the Champions League, especially in the League Phase, they have difficulty performing consistently. In addition, international matches also make players very tired. Let's see how the Champions League next season will go, PSG may not be able to defend the trophy, and the main spotlight may be on Madrid again. Many are curious about Xabi Alonso's performance. we know being a Madrid manager is not easy, he must be able to present a trophy or end up being fired.
That risk is the same for almost all teams because there are all those tournaments that inevitable bring a lot of games. Whether it is Conference League. Europa League or the CL, everyone has at least those games from the group stage or league stage and then the round of 16 games. The only problem I see is if teams get unlucky and have several injuries without impact from their opponent players. That would be a sign of fatigue, but if they get injured because of attacks in game, there isn't much you can do about it.
