UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[Hirose UK]

I think arsenal have a problem not only in the squad but also in the mentality of the team, I have repeatedly noticed how in the most important moments they make mistakes that end up being solvable. Last season, compared to the previous one, things were much better, but still not perfect. But it's fair to say that Manchester City made a lot of mistakes last season, too. Besides, for the Champions League, the psychological stability of the team is very important

Is it about mentality or form of strength which is still considered weak when faced with stronger teams. Of course, the question of mentality is something that is often said, especially in the Champions League. Of course, in the Champions League, every team must be able to exert extra strength when they face a team they have never faced. If you look at the changes made by Arteta, of course he has made great progress in improvement after improvement, but if Arteta continues to fail in bringing trophies, of course in the final assessment he will fail to make changes.
Arsenal target may not be the UCL trophy but they are more focused on the EPL trophy as they did in the previous season. I think they need to lift the EPL trophy first before focusing their strength on the Champions League.

But the squad that Arsenal currently has is actually more than enough, they have players who are actually great and can be relied on because Arsenal is one of the best teams in the Premier League and can always give surprises when playing against other big team there.
But it would be shame if big competition like the UCL shows that Arsenal is team with fairly weak mentality, they seem to be declining and seem to lose confidence every time they compete in the UCL, this is problem that must be eliminated.
Basically, mentality will greatly influence the success of team when competing, those who are confident in their strength and abilities will definitely play very well, it just that the problem of mentality is not an easy matter to solve.
But in the future we will never know how Arsenal will develop, whether they focus on the Premier League or the UCL, it will all depend on how they develop and what their strengths are like in each match.

Arsenal is a very good team and I agree with you that they will be able to have an excellent run in the champion league considering the fact that they have made some excellent signings and above all Jorginho has signed the renewal of his contract with Arsenal which personally is a a player who I like very much even if he didn't shine in these European games with Italy but he will have time to make up for it on the big stages

[Helena Yu]

People who said Arsenal will make it in this season should wake up and face the reality that Arsenal will not become a champion again since Manchester City or Real Madrid will beat Arsenal. Manchester City still have all of their key players while Real Madrid add one more destroyer.

Also don't forget Leverkusen will participate in this season, which making it harder for mediocre team like Arsenal to become a champion.

Of course, that is very true because so far it has been very difficult for Mbappe to win the UCL trophy with PSG. so in this transfer window we see that Mbappe has officially joined Real Madrid and that is quite the right step for him to achieve great success with Real Madrid.

It's definitely the best decision he made, he will know his worth after he get more trophies with Real Madrid, he will earn more by endorsement.

I also see Arsenal as a team that can still be quite strong next season so that some of their closest rivals last season also still have to be wary of Arsenal as their competitor in the race for the Premier League trophy. Likewise in the Champions League because Arsenal could perform better next season and be able to reach a quite crucial stage so that their rivals will still see Arsenal as an opponent that needs to be eliminated early before heading to the quite crucial stages in the Champions League.

Likewise in the Champions League because Arsenal could perform better next season and be able to reach a quite crucial stage so that their rivals will still see Arsenal as an opponent that needs to be eliminated early before heading to the quite crucial stages in the Champions League.

The bottom line to go to history and record is a team don't need to be a super strong and have many impressive performances. If they have these things, they are all good but the history and records care about what are the champion team of a league in each season. Champions can be called more easily than runner-ups and value of ending one season as a runner-up is very smaller in importance and recognition than as a champion.

If anyone says Arsenal is a weak team or in other words is not a strong team, it's wrong and I can debate for proving it is wrong. Otherwise, it's not easy to say Arsenal are strong and competitive enough to win Champions League. They need to improve a lot from player quality, main players to substitutions, tactics and mentality to win Champions League. Teams like Manchester City and PSG struggled many years before only Manchester City won their first Champions League title two seasons ago while PSG are still fighting for their first title.

It's definitely the best decision he made, he will know his worth after he get more trophies with Real Madrid, he will earn more by endorsement.

If you want to get a lot of trophies then Real Madrid is one of the most appropriate clubs for Mbappe because this club has everything. But talking about income really depends on the value of the contract, salary or sponsors who use his services. As before Real Madrid had Ronaldo and Mbappe could be one like him in the next season.

I also see Arsenal as a team that can still be quite strong next season so that some of their closest rivals last season also still have to be wary of Arsenal as their competitor in the race for the Premier League trophy. Likewise in the Champions League because Arsenal could perform better next season and be able to reach a quite crucial stage so that their rivals will still see Arsenal as an opponent that needs to be eliminated early before heading to the quite crucial stages in the Champions League

Arsenal's ability to fight for the Premier League title may still be quite open but to ensure this I am a little doubtful. Especially if we talk about the Champions League which in reality is not their competition because there are many competitors that they are unable to conquer. I am not trying to underestimate Arsenal's ability but this is the highest league and almost many clubs hope to get success there.

For the Champions League I will not include Arsenal as a strong candidate but I still agree if it is related to the Premier League. For two seasons they have always failed to break Man City's dominance and now is the third chance for them. If they fail then I think Arsenal's chance to win the Premier League will disappear again.

For the past two seasons now, Arsenal has been very much in good form and playing good football. But it will be quite funny if Arsenal we have a three consecutive excellent season without any trophy to their name. This guy is were supposed to win the English Premier League title season before last and they were also supposed to win same last season. They also had the opportunity to win the Europa League season before last about all did not work. I also do not believe that they will make it work this time around if they continue with the strategy they have been using.

It is high time Arteta and his boys focused on one title or trophy and win for the club. If they think that Champions league is difficult, they should behave like Sevilla and focus on Europa. If they feel that EPL is difficult they should focus on FA cup. I no longer like this trophyless seasons for Arsenal.

In the domestic league, maybe Arsenal should be taken into account in the competition for the championship trophy, but sorry, I think Arsenal is still not able to compete in the Champions League because the mentality they have is still far from other teams in the Champions League so far, we can compare last season how they also failed to give a lot of resistance to Munich even though at that time Munich was in bad condition,  next season the Champions League will use a new format in the competition and it allows many teams to participate in the Champions League next season so indirectly making Arsenal chances to go further in the Champions League very unlikely to happen, the mentality possessed by the Arsenal players is very bad when they have to face an important match and they should be able to win in the match but in fact they often slip in the match the important match.

No matter about Arsenal who managed to improve the quality of the team because anyway, Arsenal will only focus on the Premier League and not for the Champion League. Because anyway,  that Arsenal are also not too often able to play in the Champion League but indeed, in the last season also at least Arsenal managed to qualify for the quarter-finals but unfortunately, Arsenal lost by Bayern Munich.

But in my personal view, that is still not enough to say Arsenal are strong in the Champions League next season. Although indeed,  Arsenal have bought players and or have had good performance, but I believe Arsenal are still not strong enough if they have to compete in the Champion League. Maybe it can be concluded as well as Milan in Serie A who managed to become a team in the Scudetto competition, but in reality they are still weak for competition in the Champions League.

The decision of Flora and Celje match was understood.  Varjund did first goal of the match at the 12 minutes after starting the match. Matko did 2nd goal of match at the 73 minutes and that goal was on penalty.  And after that we saw third goal of match because Karničnik did third goal of match at the 76 minutes of match. At the time , Celje team almost won  the match because they have to defend well after that to win this match . So they did that and the result of defense is in front of that. The goal of Karničnik bent the match to their side  . The stat of Celje team is excellent because all players gave max passes as they could. After this match Celje team is more confident and they have more confident to win next match. That is good of Celje team because in game confidence matters a lot . If you are confident,most probably you will win.

These expectations are very similar to what we expected last season but in the end Arsenal were nothing more than a mediocre team in the Champions League competition. They didn't have the conditions to get close to the semifinals and instead they had to fall after successfully qualifying from the group stages.

I don't think any team is afraid or worried about Arsenal's presence and in fact other strong teams are wary of teams full of history who have always been regular champions of the league. Maybe Arsenal is very scary for any team in the same group but after that they are nothing more than a team that can be knocked out easily.

I never knew there were people who expected much from Arsenal in the UCL. Most of the people I know including myself only had expectations in them winning the EPL from the time they started the return legs and they were in pretty good standing. Unfortunately, Arsenal still lack the ability to finish strong hence, they lost the trophy to Man City. If Arsenal want to be taken seriously, they should start from the EPL first and win it, else they should never dream of winning the UCL because that game is not for kids but for adults.

Maybe Arsenal is very scary for any team in the same group but after that they are nothing more than a team that can be knocked out easily.

The threat of Arsenal ends at group stages because that is the only time they show some courage. Beyond the group stages, any serious team can easily humble them as we have seen in several appearances they made and came back home in shame.

The second qualifying round of the Champions League, which starts on Tuesday, is full of important matches. In addition to our representative Fenerbahce, I am also curious about the matches of Dynamo Kiev and Bodo/Glimt. I think that Dynamo Kiev and Bodo will be guaranteed to pass the round with different victories at home. Fenerbahce will want to win in this difficult away match, but the team does not seem to be ready at the moment.

It depends on how Arsenal can improve next season, if they can improve significantly enough then they will be able to go even further in the Champions League. However, on the other hand, if they cannot improve their performance next season, then they will not be able to do much and perhaps qualifying from the group stage will be their achievement, after which they will be eliminated again by the fierce competition in the Champions League.
The team that will join their group is also something that will determine, if they join a relatively easy group, then maybe they will be able to easily qualify for the knockout rounds, but if they join the hell group it will be a challenge for them. But the draw is luck, they definitely hope they can be in a relatively easy group.

Teams like Manchester City and PSG struggled many years before only Manchester City won their first Champions League title two seasons ago while PSG are still fighting for their first title.

To be honest, we all remember the invincible, not losing a single game and still not getting the title is an achievement no team in history will be able to do again at premier league if you ask me, or at least I would not expect it.

All in all, I think it's clear that we are going to end up with Arsenal being remembered era to era, like we remember Wenger era, we remember Arsenal as a good team then, and we remember Arteta being the next in line to make them good again, and in between not so great. This means even if they end up not being great, we will remember them as not being that bad neither during this period.

Hence this is why I believe that we should be giving Arteta the credit he deserves, he kept the team going with all the problems they faced at the start, and now they are almost at the top, for two years in a row. Best thing to do about this situation would be just focusing on if they can actually win the whole thing or not, most probably there will be a trouble and they will probably not win it, but I believe that they could have a chance to win it as well if they do fine at the start of the season. Getting the lead early on could help them so much for the rest of the season.

Last season we saw Arsenal could compete closely with Manchester City even though they finally had to end the season as runners-up, currently Arsenal has not been seen to have made many improvements to their team even though it is linked with many star players who will be recruited, but different with the rival Arsenal team in the league has improved their squad so we will see a fierce competition will happen next season and if Arsenal does not improve their team now then next season is difficult seeing them compete in the Premier League, especially the Champions League which is filled with the best teams in Europe at the moment, last season Arsenal was only able to penetrate the quarterfinals and it was an impressive achievement compared to the previous seasons Arsenal in the Champions League, but seeing the current Arsenal situation actually makes me doubt that they will be better next season in the Champions League, Moreover, next season every team that plays in the Champions League will get more matches to play than last season and for that they need a very capable squad to face it.

I don't know why some folks here are hyping Arsenal in UCL when we know that they hardly escape the round of 16 in this competition because they are always confused somehow and lose focus in the league. No matter how Arsenal performance is on its peak, they don't show that in UCL maybe it is because they are playing with clubs that are not in EPL.

Playing with a different club that is not in their domestic league is always a big challenge for them and for you to be a strong and recognized club that other clubs will be careful and scared of, you must show how strong you are by winning many clubs in UCL to the semifinals or the finals. I would not say that Arsenal lacks experience in UCL because they are always present in most UCL competitions.

Arsenal's performance is unpredictable because they always start the season perfectly, but at the end, they always mess everything up in the Champions League. I can’t confidently say how their performance will be, but I can see that many teams are preparing for the next season, so they can perform very well. I believe Arsenal are also doing the same thing so that they will be a wonder next season.

 Although I know that only a few teams will be a challenge for them since they are not, that should be underrated too, but still, Arsenal always end up the season with nothing, which is always a bad result for them. But maybe next season will be a better season for Arsenal, like other seasons have achieved many things before. 

[hyudien]

Of course, because in football there is no team that cannot be beaten even though they have a very perfect squad, Madrid so far has efficiency in recruiting the players they want to buy and most of the players recruited are the needs of the team so that it will make their team stronger every season so far.

It is true. No team that is impossible to be defeated. Although Real Madrid has a stronger squad, it doesn't mean they will win the UCL trophy automatically. There should be a chance that they will be eliminated by other teams. Man City, Bayern Munich, and Inter Milan are the examples of few teams that look like very possible to beat Real Madrid.

Regarding that we will talk about the percentage of who has a higher chance of becoming champion in the Champions League. However, it is not automatically the case that the team that has a high percentage of chances will become champions, they need to prove themselves by playing well too. There are several teams that have a high percentage of opportunities but they ultimately fail too, let's say Leverkusen last season in the Europa League, they lost in the final round.
These are examples of different competitions, and let's take the example of the Champions League itself. Last season, Manchester City was the team with the highest percentage to become champions, but they also failed because they lost to the team with the percentage below them, Real Madrid. It only opens up opportunities, what determines is the game on the field. Whoever is better will win, don't forget other things such as mentality and luck which are sometimes determining factors.

Maybe Arsenal is very scary for any team in the same group but after that they are nothing more than a team that can be knocked out easily.

Arsenal's performance has improved and that must be recognized because after all, by looking at the current conditions, Arsenal's performance has been much better, especially in the last 2 seasons. It's just that when they are in the Champions League they will seem the same because after all the Champions League is a condition where the championship club in between domestic leagues gather so that even though their performance has improved but there are other clubs in other competitions also doing that which makes Arsenal still seem to be ordinary. Moreover, with some big clubs subscribing to the Champions League that are equally good, it is clear that they already have special privileges with experience and mentality.

Arsenal can still compete it is a certainty, but when talking about the trophy in the Champions League it will still be very difficult for them to do.

In addition, this season we will see a new draft for the Champions League and of course there will be a lot of different conditions where in addition to the current schedule is definitely increasing, this also makes a club have to be smart to rotate players so that the performance they have in the Champions League with domestic competitions in their respective leagues can be balanced and sometimes problems like this are difficult for Arteta to avoid because they are not the best.
