It is not right to make such a stiff assumption about a team like Real Madrid. I cannot disagree with that Los Blancos now has one of the hefty squads in the world. Xabi Alonso new coach of Madrid has so far proven his potentiality. Now we are waiting to glimpse if Alonso could succeed with Madrid. Now if Los Vikingos players could adapt fast to Alonso's strategy, then their performance will ballast. I'm not something like emotional, I know Madrid's defense has kinda lacked till now, but you know they have several talented players on that defense line. The only thing Alonso should have to do is create a suitable match strategy so that Madrid's defense becomes stronger.
Alonso must immediately overhaul his squad to achieve balance across all areas. Weak defense, a lack of creativity in midfield, and a lack of sharpness in attacking must be solved. Real Madrid has a good squad, but I can't find a reason behind their decline in form, which raises questions.
I am going to go on a limb and say that Real Madrid will not win UCL this season as well. They are not going ot be as bad as last year, because they had many injuries last year which caused them to be worse, they will do better at group stages at least, and depending on who they face afterwards, I bet they can go even further, but they won't win.
Because every season, the best team in the world usually ends up winning, and that means, even if you are a lucky team with a good draw luck, facing easier opponents and go to finals, you will still lose at finals because the best team wins. Rare cases of smaller teams winning, but that's very rare. And at this moment Real Madrid is not the best team and PSG looks like the better team, even few others.

PSG are certainly strong contenders for the title next season, but few teams have ever won back-to-back Champions League titles. As for Real Madrid chances of winning the trophy next season, I think it's still difficult to predict, but one thing is certain, they have the complete set of attributes to achieve their ambitions. Xabi Alonso should have learned valuable lessons from his journey at the Club World Cup, Real Madrid still displayed significant weaknesses in defense.
If Xabi Alonso can address his defensive issues, I'm confident they will be strong contenders for the trophy, along with Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Liverpool. As time goes by, Real Madrid seems to will be improving, with several players who previously had long term injuries now returning to the squad, which is good news for their fans.

The new system doesn’t use “group stages” the first stage is more like a league phase where they all compete each other to move to the next stage of go directly to R16 I think.About Realmadrid, deciding who to win or not is still very early although, it still depends on the teams they face just as you’ve said but I’m very sure the new system is here to get rid having too much luck regarding opponents ( even though UCL is most likely for better teams accross different leagues). For now, the odds seem to be leaning towards Liverpool and co but with PSG consistence performance there could be a better odds for them..

Hard to expect Madrid won't not perform as bad as last season. I know you're concerned about their injury last season, but this time is completely different. They have new squad, lack of chemistry, and no solid team work. They're still at the preparatory period, which is nothing to expect as they in the process to learn how to work as a team. Better to have less expectation to them. Only anticipate you not to feel disappoint in the end.
Besides the Champions League, I think Real Madrid also needs to focus on all domestic competitions. They lost everything last season, and that has clearly led to a lot of speculation about them. An improvement in performance is expected, and then they will target several possible titles next season.

I think Real Madrid will have a very hard time winning the trophy this year. It seems a bit strange to me. The team, which is a prime contender every season, is in a much better position now. It could improve. New manager Xabi Alonso could create a new transformation. His first test against PSG was a bit difficult, but they still have a long way to go.

The team's problem isn't squad depth or any other shortcomings. There's no unity within the team; their performance was completely disjointed. This was the case last season and in the current tournament.

It is too soon to conclude that Real Madrid will not win the 2025/2026 UCL season.For the defeat against PSG, Real Madrid through the cold hands of Xabi Alonso, this can change when already competing in the UCL.
Xabi Alonso certainly realized that his job at Real Madrid was not easy because he realized that he was required to win at least one trophy. I think the UCL is very possible for them to win although I predict that the 2025/2026 UCL season will be more difficult than the old format.
To be honest, I do not think that PSG will drop their form. So, if PSG, Barcelona and Liverpool are still in this great form, I am sorry there is no chance for Real Madrid.

I think so too, and I believe it's due to the numerous injuries, but Xabi Alonso won't be able to make Real Madrid much stronger in his first season. Xabi Alonso isn't a coach with experience in major competitions with high pressure, so that will have a significant impact.Because every season, the best team in the world usually ends up winning, and that means, even if you are a lucky team with a good draw luck, facing easier opponents and go to finals, you will still lose at finals because the best team wins.

In the Champions League, everything will be different. The competition for the title is quite fierce because every team is ambitious to win the UCL. I think that's the reason.
