UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Dunamisx]

I have been criticizing Bayern Munich since they changed their coach. Kompany may be talented. I will not get into this argument. But does Kompany have enough experience? Kompany has been in charge of any big club like Munich in the past. An experienced coach is needed to do well on the Champions League platform. Although they can perform well in the Bundesliga, we have seen Munich completely fail in the Champions League. Munich is not able to play well especially against big teams. So how will the team dominate the Champions League?

I understand what you are saying and I see your point which has a lot of relevance, but if we look at his merits Kompany has managed to go out and Reborn Bayern back to win the Bundesliga , he was very successful against Xabi's team, so now the Experience he took in the club world cup is another thing , he played against teams with a very different style, they won money , they know that nowadays things in football have expanded, I think Kompany took a unique Experience , he still has the way to do things better.

Kompany should be able to do better, as sometimes, even first experience could go far in a long way, because such is going to be the first of its kind, since he could achieved some notable leagues, setting target for the champions league shouldn't be a serious issue for him, even though we all know that there are other better teams that are also preparing and being desperate in taking this new season UCL coming on the way, Bayern Munich should better be up to their task and do well, and still yet, i believe in Kompany to deliver to an extent.

The job is really difficult for Xabi Alonso because he is managing players that are rich and influential on one part and a remarkable team that is accustomed to winning on the other part. Xabi will have a hard time being fulling in charge of the team due to the rivalry and ego in the players especially Vinicius Jr and Kylan Mbappe.  If I were the coach, I will bench them a couple of times so they can come down to earth and give their best. No matter what, I still believe that Real Madrid will make a great rival to Barcelona this season.

By the way, Vinícius is not such a simple player, and you definitely need to find the right approach to him. Especially now, with Mbappé's arrival, problems have started regarding Vinícius's salary. He wants to earn the same as Mbappé because he now considers himself an equally valuable player. But Mbappé’s salary is significantly higher than Vinícius’s, and that alone can already create some internal conflicts. I think Alonso doesn't yet have the experience to resolve such internal issues, but he needs to learn how to deal with them. And he needs to learn quickly, because if misunderstandings start within the team, it will definitely affect the results.

At the Club World Cup, it was clear that Xabi had a tough task integrating Vini and Mbappé together. When one of them wasn't playing, Real Madrid performed quite well, and Gonzalo Garcia even finished as the competition's top scorer.

Mbappé and Vini each have their own egos; they see themselves as key players. It was a tough task for Xabi Alanso to bring these two players together. The problem, as you mentioned, was Xabi's lack of experience managing a star-studded team. After losing to PSG in the Club World Cup, it was clear these two players couldn't play together. If Xabi can't resolve this issue, Real Madrid will struggle to compete in La Liga next season, let alone the Champions League.

It's largely true that Vini is not such an simple player, the reason for his anger at the moment is that he probably wants equal priority like Mbappe because we always see on the field that he has worked harder than Mbappe. He is able to make numerous passes in the game and that is very important for Real Madrid Football Club, so I think he should be paid the same salary as Mbappe. You are right that there is an internal conflict brewing within this team, so I think that even if this coach doesn't have experience in this job, still he should properly fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher and create a unassuming, kindness and of course affectionate bond between them.

Kompany performed well with Bayern Munich in the Champions League last year. They could perform similarly this year, but injuries will hinder their team's effectiveness. For example, Musiala, who is out for a long time, was a crucial player for Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich will be desperately looking for his offensive prowess. Bayern Munich has always been a favorite in an arena like the Champions League. I expect a similar performance from the Germans this year.

He's has had his first experience at the champions league as the head coach of Bayern Munich last season,  I was even of the opinion that Las seasons champions league was just to get experience for kompany and his team, it is in this season I will be expecting he makes use of the experience he has been able  to gather from the previous champions league because he has obviously been there before.  Even if he does not win the champions league this season,  he should be able to go beyond  the knockout stage to the semi-finals then it can be said his experience did counted.

Real Madrid will always give priority to Mbappe because Real Madrid has waited a long time to bring Mbappe to their club. Think about one thing, Real Madrid never waits for any player, but they did not sign any other player for Mbappe, rather they brought Mbappe to the team and waited enough time to bring him to the team. What you said about Vinicius Junior is absolutely right, this player has a lot of contribution to the current Real Madrid and in every match it is seen that this player works hard and passes the ball to his teammates enough, so it is not his fault to ask for equal priority or equal salary to Mbappe. However, I am thinking about another thing, which is that the conflict that has arisen between the players now should not be like the PSG of the past, but then the team's performance will definitely come back.

Xabi did take over probably one of the best teams in the whole world, and there is no excuse, I understand that they failed last year and that is why Ancelotti was sacked and Xabi was brought in, but that doesn't mean the squad was bad, the squad was great and that is why Ancelotti was fired, for failing to do a good job with a good squad.

So if Xabi does the same and fails, then they could have kept Ancelotti, because he at least had some success before. This should be a big lesson for Xabi, he is going to be tested a lot, managing such big egos and big names, he never had this before so this is going to be a trouble for him if he fails to control them all. Things will not be easy but we could definitely see him do a fine job.

Yes. You are right. Real Madrid has never been a bad team. Real Madrid has always had the biggest stars in the world. It was like that before. It is a win-lose game. Last season Real Madrid lost because of some flaws in their game. Now they have to accept this reality and think about the future. All clubs will also give their best performance in the game.

At the end of the season, the Real Madrid authorities felt that their coach had made a mistake, so they changed the coach. They thought Xabi was more suitable instead of Ancelotti. However, it may be a little difficult for Xabi to control so many stars in the team. However, I think if we give Xabi time, he will definitely give something good.

[bitgolden]

Selling Vinicius Jr. wouldn't solve the problems, because he's a top-quality player, and Real Madrid would be unlikely to find another player of his caliber. If they wanted to sign him, they'd have to pay a very high transfer fee. Therefore, Xabi Alonso must do his part to the best of his ability and maintain a balance between the players. In this case, the team wins.

Are you always willing to seeing Madrid to always rely upon him and his skill? If he performs well, that's acceptable what if he performs badly like the previous games? Come on man! Madrid needs more than one player to shine again. They're a club, and must be working as a team, not rely upon individual.
They can't have two suns in the same club . That's it.

Real Madrid never relies on a single player. They have vini, they have mbappe, they even have Jude, they have other players too. So that means, if anything happens to Vini, they should have other good enough players to understand as well. This has to be something that focuses on what to do and who they need, and they are never just "one person" team at all. That is the most important part and we shouldn't really focus on getting any one player to be that special.

However, that also doesn't mean that they need to sell him, why would you sell a good player when they have him already? They would need another player that is good, sure it wouldn't make them bad, but why bother selling one and getting another, that doesn't really get any better at all.

[Akbarkoe]

I agree with that. Mbappé's arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu should further enhance Real Madrid's attack. Both players are top-tier players, and they should be able to work together for the team's progress. However, it's truly regrettable that Vinicius considers Mbappé's presence a threat to his role as Real Madrid's star. He refuses to lower his ego, which is why Vinicius' performance last season was quite poor.

The new season is about to begin, but Real Madrid's attacking issues haven't been completely resolved. A new star has emerged in Gonzalo Garcia, making the competition even tighter. Rodrygo is one Real Madrid player who lost out in this competition and is now on the transfer market. I'm eager to see what other players will enter the summer transfer market before the new season actually begins.

When such problems arises between players in same team it is the duty of the coach to find a common ground for them to come to peace with eachother by making sure they place the interest of the team above their personal interest. But this was one thing Ancelotti failed to do. However, Xabi Alonso's position as coach should be able to resolve all of those superiority attitudes between Vinicius and Mbappe. I would have suggested selling off Vinicius but at the moment Real Madrid needs him especially now they are having a worse era.

Alonso has mentioned the biggest mistake in the defeat to PSG, saying it was playing Vinicius and Kylian Mbappé together. At the time, I didn't see Mbappé playing selfishly. He prioritized teamwork and trusted his teammates, including Vinicius. But Vinicius wasn't playing selfishly. Vinicius is indeed a crucial player for Real Madrid's attack, but the team doesn't need selfish players. If Vinicius can't control his emotions and tone down his ego on the pitch, he deserves to be removed from the Real Madrid starting lineup.

Looking at how XA has managed Bayer Leverkusen, I believe he's a coach who prioritizes solidarity and teamwork. Players with high ambitions are a thorn in the side's side, so Real Madrid must remove that thorn before the season starts. Real Madrid has big plans for this new season, including conquering Europe again, but those big plans won't be achieved if the team's cooperation isn't strong.

Almost everyone expected the performance of Real Madrid to improve more after the signing of Mbappe, and that is one of the many reasons even Real Madrid signed Mbappé. But when he got to the team, we did not see any improvement. Instead, Real Madrid’s performance reduced.But based on my view, Real Madrid’s performance did not improve. I think it’s because of some injuries some players were going through them, and they were not fit enough for the team balance. So, I did not view Vincius as seeing Mbappe as a threat. If that was the case, Mbappe may not have been able to score the kinds of goals he scored last season. If Vinicius had seen Mbappe as a threat, it’s very possible Mbappe wouldn’t have reached that goal tally.

If Vinicius  see mbappe as threat he may even start thinking of leaving Real Madrid because he sees Mbappe as a threat to him. With the current set of players in their attack and a good coach, I don’t think they should have a problem with the attack because the coach will use them well without issue.But based on the news I saw a few days ago, I don’t know whether it’s true or not, that Bellingham will undergo shoulder surgery and be out for some months. If that’s true, Real Madrid’s attack may not be as strong as I thought.

It was not a bad decision for Real Madrid in the previous season to recruit K. Mbappe from PSG. He is clearly a very promising player for the front line of Real Madrid. initially many thought that he would have enough difficulty in being able to adapt to his new club and also La Liga, but in fact in just a few matches he was able to adapt well, he has shown his quality as one of the best strikers in the world successfully, not just nonsense he managed to become the top goal scorer in Europe. While Vinicius, in the previous season his appearance and performance really decreased.

If Viicius doesn't improve his performance I think he deserves to leave the Santiago Bernabeu, there is nothing to worry about when Vinicius leaves. At the moment Real Madrid has a new star in Gonzalo Garcia, he can appear as Real Madrid's main striker and Mbappe back to playing in his original position as a left forward.

Although they can perform well in the Bundesliga, we have seen Munich completely fail in the Champions League. Munich is not able to play well especially against big teams. So how will the team dominate the Champions League?

I understand what you are saying and I see your point which has a lot of relevance, but if we look at his merits Kompany has managed to go out and Reborn Bayern back to win the Bundesliga , he was very successful against Xabi's team, so now the Experience he took in the club world cup is another thing , he played against teams with a very different style, they won money , they know that nowadays things in football have expanded, I think Kompany took a unique Experience , he still has the way to do things better.

For Kompany, his time at Bayern Munich is invaluable. Few teams in the world can offer him these opportunities. And Bayern Munich is by far the strongest team in his league. They won the Bundesliga last year and are the leading contenders for the title again this year. They achieved acceptable success in the Champions League and similarly achieved success in the CWC. I'm curious to see how they fare in the Champions League next year. Watching them is a joy, and the way they play is a delight.

But how will coaches like Vincent Kompany gain the experience @DanWalker is hitting on if he's not giving such big jobs to manage? I think it's justifiable to say Kompany didn't perform below average in his first season with Bayern Munich despite him not going that far in the UCL stages. If we're talking about experience, can we now say Xabi Alonso has that much of experience in coaching a team like Real Madrid because he won the German bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen? No.

Many people are criticising Kompany and his experience, judging it is insufficient and I totally agree with them except the fact that he achieved what other failed to, he saved Bayern Munich from losing the Bundesliga title again, at the time where Bayer Leverkusen was strong and title contender.
There was talks about UEFA Champions League and how Bayern Munich failed there, like it was an easy task for them in the previous years! Even the most experienced and best teams got knocked in that league like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Liverpool and the others.
At the same time also, I don't want to judge Kompany according to the results of one season. I would like to wait the upcoming season to see how good he could maintain his position in Bundesliga and advance in Champions League.

I think that's the right approach. It's not right to get the impression that a manager is bad just from one season. Because if a manager manages a team for many years, they understand the team's dynamics and what the players need to do. Belgian manager Bayern Munich could look even better this year. I also think they were quite good in their last CWC tournament, and if I recall correctly, they were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain. Real Madrid were devastated by Paris Saint-Germain. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, hadn't been so disorganized and were neck and neck with them. I believe in their potential and can be even better this year.

Things don't go well when there are several players playing the same position on the same team. Competition should increase quality, but it negatively impacts player motivation, so I don't like star players playing together.
Any player who doesn't contribute to the team can leave; at least they'll contribute financially. With this budget, the team could acquire several more valuable players

That's why some teams sometimes prefer to bring in young players rather than star players who play in the same positions as their existing star players. These young players can be long-term projects, they usually don't complain much when they're benched, but star players are different. Star players expect enough playing time, they want to prove their quality rather than just sitting quietly on the bench.

Many star players choose to leave when their team acquires a new player of equal or greater quality. A reduction in playing time is a consequence for these players if they stay, but if they're a club icon, that shouldn't be a problem.

While am not against bringing young players to a team you should know that every club is thinking about winning a trophy and you can't win any major trophy with young inexperienced players young players should only come in to complement the efforts of the older once who are in their prime playing, I don't personally blame the older players for complaining when they are left out in the bench because as a player when you are left out of the main team your value reduces which will affects your rating in the market

[topbitcoin]

But if in the end he succeeds in getting them to put their egos aside and switch to a collective game then I think Madrid will really be very well protected in terms of goal productivity because indeed these two players are very solid individually but quite bad when placed together in one club so far.

This reminds me of the time when Zidane coached Real Madrid and they won the UCL three times in a row. Many said Zidane wasn't a genius coach, but he was lucky to coach Real Madrid alongside the prime Ronaldo. His passing tactics to Ronaldo became a topic of conversation on social media at the time. But what's not known is that teams with star players usually have big egos. Everyone wants to be the main character, and that's what can make a team with many star players fail. But Zidane was able to overcome each player's ego so they could play collectively. Real Madrid currently also has many star players, especially in the attack. Mbappé and Vini are two of the best strikers in the world today. They have big egos to score goals, become top scorers, and win individual trophies because they have the ability to do so. This will be Xabi's first job: to make Real Madrid play more collectively as a team, rather than individually.

Actually for next season too if Xabi can finally apply the same pattern as Zidane did where all the final results are focused on Mbappe for the finisher and their two wingers Vini, Rodrygo / Arda provide services like Bale and Benzema did in the Zidane era then everything will end well but indeed the problem that always occurs remains based on ego.

Vini's ego is getting bigger and bigger especially when he was one of the strong candidates for the Ballon d'Or before which makes it difficult for Madrid to improve.
There were moments when Vini seemed more active in his individual work and it was not uncommon for him to dribble until the opportunity was wasted because of his ego.

It's a task that could have been simple but in application it's not as simple as imagined, but if Xabi succeeds then he will have a considerable level of success in Madrid.

[Jegileman]

The job is really difficult for Xabi Alonso because he is managing players that are rich and influential on one part and a remarkable team that is accustomed to winning on the other part. Xabi will have a hard time being fulling in charge of the team due to the rivalry and ego in the players especially Vinicius Jr and Kylan Mbappe.  If I were the coach, I will bench them a couple of times so they can come down to earth and give their best. No matter what, I still believe that Real Madrid will make a great rival to Barcelona this season.

I haven’t seen any major change in the Real Madrid squad, or have they added any player that will make their game change for the better to be a major threat to Barcelona their top rivals. Barcelona are also preparing better for the next season and Real Madrid needs to be on the challenging side too and not rely on few players to take the win next season. They’re looking like they’re not settled internally and if that happens, they won’t be able to finish on the best position they wish or be a very big challenging opponent to Barcelona, that means Barcelona will still stand as a very tough challenge for them even by next season.

They are two characters who like to stay at the centre of attention and Mbappe is living proof, he is strong for goodness sake, but he is doing everything he can to always be at the centre of attention and then he creates disagreements with the other players and makes the team play badly.

A team that is united will have the better chances in any competition they’re playing in. A united team will bring progress and success to the team. If they’re not united as a player, it will only make them worse and the outcome of their next season will even be poorer than the previous season. They know what United team brings about, so they should stick to having one.

Not just Xabi Alonso but there has been many fans too who have said same about having to play Vinicius and Mbappe together because it makes Mbappe not to play his natural position since Vinicius would be playing from the wing side. But it's now left for Alonso to find remedy to this since he has voiced it out as one of Madrid's problem.but an not sure that selling Vinicius will be a choice in his best interest if he really wants to have a quality team that can match against their opponents for next season.

That is the biggest issue when teams or clubs decide to buy players because of their name and not because of their quality and type of game and how it fits into the team. That was one of the problems PSG was fighting with for a very long time when the most important attribute was a high price and a big name. But then they had these three players namely Mbappe, Neymar and Messi and while it was fun to watch them play sometimes, you could see that they were not the perfect combination of players to play against more carefully chosen squads.
