UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Africolo]

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.

The target to see Real Madrid players coming out in full to portray their stunning performance and potentials is definitely on another level. The club have been fighting to hold things together since they've been quite inconsistent in previous seasons. However the club's president, Florentino Pérez have been number one member to consider the current situation of the club and have plan and been keen on fixing it.

Real Madrid best player, Vinicius Jr can play with his strength and also Kylian Mbappe is also a versatile player in the frontline which can handle any role given to him effectively. It all boils down the coach, Xabi Alonso who's extremely occupied with more handling task in the club. We would watch the extent these players are willing to go inother to succeed in Santiago Bernabeu.

I think Fenerbahce has a pretty good chance of beating Feyenoord right now. I don't think Fenerbahce's performance is that bad either. If we compare Fenerbahce's performance with Feyenoord's in their last three matches, the result is that Fenerbahce is superior. As we know, in their last three matches, Fenerbahce has not lost and has managed to pick up two wins. Meanwhile, Feyenoord has only managed one win, one draw, and one loss. So, with this in mind, I'm personally more confident that Fenerbahce will win this qualifying round and advance to the next round. Although Feyenoord is indeed superior in terms of player quality, but in terms of performance, I think Fenerbahce is superior. So, we'll see whose prediction is correct for this match. Since there will be two legs in the Fenerbahce vs Feyenoord match, it will certainly be very exciting to see which team deserves to advance to the next round.

Fenerbahçe will face Feyenoord at third round qualifying round of UEFA Champion League and the winner team automatically qualify to Champion League but if loss will relegated to UEFA Europe League. Last season, Fenerbahçe losses at third round qualifying and must participants at Europe League difference Feyenoord qualify until 16 of round before eliminating by Inter Milan. I don't think easily for predicting which one the winner team between Fenerbahçe or Feyenoord because not still full squad for both team and Fenerbahçe on the progress negotiation for signing Hakan Çalhanoğlu.

Both team have played several pre season matches but each manager still make rotation to get solid composition team for next season, third playoff round for first leg of UEFA Champion League will play at 5th August and have more enough time getting new recruitment or prepare more solid team, wish Jose Mourinho as Fenerbahçe's manager can back to Champion League again after missing longer time.

Yes, you're right. If we talk about the previous season, Feyenoord did perform quite well in the Champions League, as they managed to qualify for the round of 16. However, that also won't be a benchmark that Feyenoord will successfully re-enter the Champions League. Because, as you said, currently Feyenoord and Fenerbahce are in the process of developing their squads in all aspects. So perhaps the process undertaken by both teams currently will certainly determine their fate. But even so, I personally remain optimistic about Fenerbahce.

Because this team is coached by a very experienced coach, Mourinho. So, it is certain that Mourinho will prepare strategies and also plans to make Fenerbahce's squad even better. Especially if Fenerbahce succeeds in signing Hakan, I think that will make Fenerbahce's squad even better. Because, it seems that currently the problem or gap that is quite glaring that Fenerbahce has is its midfield. So, if Fenerbahçe were to bring in midfielder ( Hakan ), I'm sure it would have a positive impact. So, in essence, I'm very optimistic that Fenerbahçe will likely secure a Champions League spot.

Talking about Rodrygo, who has been one of the key players in almost every match he has played in, is truly remarkable. This player has skills that are beyond question. Rodrygo is often the driving force behind Real Madrid, and his contribution to the club is immense. His presence makes a significant difference when Real Madrid faces crucial moments.

Yes, in fact there is a lot of talk about him for me that Xabi has him in his sights as well as Vinicius, for me Xabi doesn't see them with as much need as Ancelloti did, it's because now the team has a very slow way of playing, it's not explosive, and that style is not that of the majority of Current players, except for some and that's what Xabi will work on now, in a big hurry.

When there's a deadlock, Rodrygo takes on the goal-scoring role, so his role looks much better. We haven't seen any major changes at Real Madrid, and perhaps the strategies implemented by the two coaches will also be different. Xabi Alonso's task won't be easy, as he arrived at a time when Real Madrid wasn't in good form, but if he can make major changes, his name will continue to soar as a successful coach. Almost all of Real Madrid's players have speed, and a slow playing style actually makes them more not effective.

It all boils down the coach, Xabi Alonso who's extremely occupied with more handling task in the club. We would watch the extent these players are willing to go inother to succeed in Santiago Bernabeu.

In my opinion, a serious mistake that the Real Madrid coach cannot make is to put Vinicius Jr. as if he were untouchable, even when it is clear that he cannot score goals regularly. Real Madrid had many goals last season thanks to Mbappe. If Vinicius Jr. had been a true striker who also scored many goals, then Real Madrid's attack would have greatly compensated for the weakness of the defense.

We could have conceded many goals, but we would also have scored many goals and won games. It is a serious mistake for the coach to constantly put Vinicius Jr. as an attacking player who will start while he does not score goals frequently. In my opinion, they should put Vinicius Jr. on the bench, and in his place they would put Mbappe, Gonzalo García, and sign a more effective striker for Rodrygo Silva de Goes' position. Selling Rodrygo Silva de Goes and Vinicius Jr. would be the best option. They are good for dribbling, but as strikers who should score goals, they have average performance.

Real Madrid is still strong to challenge many teams next season, to have a good performance through out like the way they displayed last season to reach semi final. I know there is a little challenge which Real Madrid coach must correct in this pre-season to get it right next season, he need to work on his defenders because they contributed some of the things that made Real Madrid to missed UEFA champion league and FIFA club world cup title, I don't think Real Madrid strikers are weak if you check their performance last season, I have that faith that Real Madrid strikers will improve more than what people saw in them last season.

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 know that this isn’t going to be easy for Xabi Alonso, as many people were thinking that if he started coaching Real Madrid, everything would get better, and the team's performance would just improve. The truth is, Real Madrid’s form will improve, and Alonso will also achieve Real Madrid's aims, but that will take time not like many people are thinking. The kind of players Alonso was dealing with when he was coaching Bayer Leverkusen were more like average world-class players. But now, at Real Madrid, he’s working with mostly world class players. So, coaching Real Madrid will be different. He will try to communicate with them and treat them in a way that will help them quickly understand his approach.

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.

It always looks like this when there are two or more top players in a team. Everyone will want to get the attention of people, and with that, each player will disagree with the other. But a better and more experienced coach will be able to solve the problem. So, it’s left to Alonso to use his experience and talk to his players so they can achieve their goals. Without that, currently, with Real Madrid's squad, their form will not be stable, and the team will hardly achieve its aims

Goalkeeper Butland was Rangers' savior.
Panathinaikos
He received a red card. Vagiannidis was sent off in the 58th minute after receiving his second yellow card. Rangers had a more comfortable match against their opponent down to 10 men.

Russell Martin is showing he can quickly transform Rangers into a strong possession team. If Bervat can rebuild his defense, they will be even more competitive with Brendon Rodgers and Celtic this season.
They secured a 2-0 victory and the winning goal.

One thing about UEFA Champions League, is that the league is open for every teams to participate in playing the competition, so for any teams to be among the UEFA Champions League, it depends on what each team end with in the previous seasons in their leagues and that is why most teams fight to fall among the big 4 in every league across the countries  so that can be allowed to participate in the UEFA Champions League, and this coming season of the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season, the teams that are qualified to play the competition knows their selfs and once the league starts, they will surely line up to the game.

Real Madrid have a great attacking line, no one should complain about their attacking line. But the selfishness of the players in the attacking line can be a bit of a worry for Real Madrid. We often see selfishness from Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior. If this problem is not resolved in the upcoming season, we may see Real Madrid exit before the final like last season. The defensive problem has been solved to some extent, now they are ready to take the field. But I am still waiting to see how brilliantly they can perform.

Real Madrid is still strong, but they could not perform as expected last season. In my opinion, if they can only strengthen the defense and make it stable, then they can definitely do well in the new season. Next season, Real Madrid can lead La Liga and will also be dominant in the Champions League. Even if Ancelotti does not bring in anyone new to fill the gaps in the team, the team will not lag behind in any area. I am hopeful that if some mistakes are reviewed from now and they can be properly resolved, then it is possible to compete well with this squad for the next season.

Real Madrid is a brawny and renowned team. But it is not certain whether we will see stable performance from Madrid next season. Madrid has changed their manager. But Madrid is not a team that their performance will decline due to a change of manager. Also Xabi Alonso is a very talented coach.

Next season , Mbappe- Vini pair will have to try to perform better. Experienced players like toni kross and Modrich will not be in the midfield. Even then , there are talented players like valverde , Camavinga and Tchouameni. But I am waiting to see Madrid's match strategy next season. Xabi Alonso will definitely apply a new match strategy. And how quickly Madrid players can adapt to the new strategy is a matter of seeing.

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.

that's what mijatović said, if real madrid hoards big-name players with huge market values, it could be counterproductive. too many star players can cause problems, such as ego, roles, etc. and because of that, xabi alonso needs to find a solution to this problem so that vini and mbappe can get their best positions and show their best performance, or else this will affect real madrid's front line.

Well said. Individual stars are tempting but just accumulating the stars won't make you a team. Every part of the team and a coordination between them is most important than having star players. Real Madrid last season was a example of such disaster. It was already a Spanish and European champion and it further bought large names. Even I claimed that Real Madrid are the champions even without Mbappe and no one could beat them with Mbappe but I was very wrong. Real Madrid was a good team but not as impressive as the last season. A team with less stars but more balanced team, Barcelona took the Spanish League while Real Madrid was also defeated early in European Champions league. A defender, midfielder are as important as the forward and more important is they be in a natural state of sync with each other.

Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso is looking forward to correct their most of last season where they failed to perform well both in the champions League La liga but seeing that they have identified their problem and brought in players to handle the position I think next season they should come up with a good performance which will be measured by their achievements next season. Ancelotti is no longer the coach of the Real Madrid team but with Xabi Alonso winning the champions League and dominating Barcelona and other teams in the league should be their major concern next season.

The current Real Madrid team looks very fresh.
Only carvajal and maybe Alaba happens to be the two oldest players, and there is a chance of Carvajal leaving next season or two seasons from now, considering the fact that Real Madrid has gotten Arnold as his replacement.

The youthfulness of the team is quite good, at least, they will play together for the next 3-5 years. There are a lot of areas to be worked on, as far as individuality is concerned. The Vinicius - Mbappe click has become a recent challenge, and Alonso seem to have noticed that as well. These players needs to play as a team, and have to stop making themselves star players in every game. The better they work as a team, the stronger they become. That's literally the momentum that Barcelona has been living on and playing with, and it has worked well for them.

Real Madrid certainly has the potential to do well next season, like every season, it's not like there's all this competition in the league, let's be clear
He certainly has objectives such as strengthening the midfield and resolving internal disagreements within the team which in my opinion are certainly there.

Many hope Xabi will improve the performance of each of his players. This doesn't mean the players aren't good enough. We know Madrid has many good players, but building a team that works well together won't be easy. Every star player has their own ego, and the coach's role is to suppress that and transform it into good teamwork.
The Champions League will always be a target for Madrid, as will any coach who wants to prove his ability to do his job well. But first, let's see how Xabi dominates La Liga with Madrid.

No doubt strengthening the midfield is the best decision xabi Alonso will ever make for this real Madrid team because they are too light in midfield, since Toni Kross left the club they have really struggled in that position, and they felt it even more against a stronger opposition, so if they can replace him with someone that not just has the quality, but also have the mental strength to play for a team like real Madrid, I will be confident that they are going to comes good this upcoming season, because right now they just need to understand what the coach needs from them, am talking of their pattern of play, once a quality central midfielder is added to the team and they can understand how xabi Alonso want them to play, nothing is stopping them from not competing on all fronts this upcoming season.

I don't think Real Madrid is the only one who will perform better. Barcelona will do the same, considering Lamine Yamal is currently in excellent form.

I must admit that Real Madrid is always a title contender every season.
I think there are other clubs that are also making improvements in every area to produce more consistent performances.
Like PSG, Barcelona, Liverpool, and Manchester City, who have previous experience, they will certainly also experience significant improvements to be able to compete with Real Madrid and win titles.
