UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[giorgione]

Arsenal has performed very well this season and is now in a good position, level on points with Bayern and Inter Milan. However, of course, we won't know who will win the Champions League because there are always unexpected surprises, like last season when PSG wasn't favored to win but ended up becoming champions. Personally, I also have a feeling that Arsenal won't win the Champions League this season, but Arsenal has the potential to become champions as long as their performance is better than in previous matches.

Inter Milan could potentially advance to the final if their performance improves in upcoming matches, but I have a feeling they won't make it to the final. I also want to see Barcelona win the Champions League trophy this season because Yamal didn't win the Ballon d'Or last season because Barcelona didn't win the Champions League trophy. So I hope Barcelona can win the Champions League this season so that Yamal can get the Ballon d'Or. However, it's currently very difficult to predict who will win the Champions League because the round of 16 hasn't started yet.

This Champions League excites me a lot because there are many teams that are very strong and they are all there to win, even if in my opinion PSG is the strongest team and the one that wants to do more in the league, it's clear that they are doing everything, so they are much stronger.

I agree with you, Barcelona's game against Celta Vigo shouldn't be the bases to rate this game against Chelsea as easy win for Barcelona, and besides it's a domestic league encounter. Fast-forward back to historical meetings between Chelsea and Barcelona, Chelsea have actually had a very good keeping records against Barcelona, except in the recent times when Chelsea slid down in form. Chelsea has been a very tough side for Barcelona whenever they're meeting each other, and the bookmakers are indeed aware of this.

Is going to be vise versa if they should use the Celta Vigo match because Barcelona also have something people could also say about them because they also have a lost by the real Madrid and Chelsea in question have not also lost this period so is established that non of them can look less on each other, but if circumstances is the case Barcelona is on the faulty side because Chelsea is not missing any player but contrary to Barcelona. The Celta Vigo match was not even the type they say Barcelona play so well even if there was four goals, three from Lewandowski and one from Yamal because Celta Vigo also perform the same but what was the different is the wining.

Actually PSG has really dropped in form recently and are not regarded as the best teams in the competition anymore, they are good and are still good contenders of the title but for now they are not the strongest team. They got hit by injuries and ever since they have not been able to be consistent and it's still affecting them till now. Bayern Munich has shown how strong they are and also Arsenal are proving strong too for now but we have to wait till the knockout phase to see which team is really the strongest. You can't rule out Real Madrid, Chelsea and even Barcelona too.

Chelsea has been a very tough side for Barcelona whenever they're meeting each other, and the bookmakers are indeed aware of this.

You're right these games should not be the base to rate Barcelona performance but if you look at it again it's the same performance against every team they face. I was surprised how Club Brugge game them a tough time it means if they play same strategy against Chelsea then they will suffer alot and might even lose the game. If Cole Palmer can be present in the game I think they will have an advantage to win as he will help them split the defense easily. It will be an interesting game regardless.

The most positive aspect for Arsenal this season is their increased strength in attack and maintaining a strong defense. Until last season, Arsenal was quite rich in strong defense, but this season they are quite well known as a balanced team. Their biggest achievement is to play 4 matches in the Champions League without conceding a goal and ensuring 100% victory. So the list of balanced teams is not very big, in this list we can put Bayern Munich and Arsenal, and even PSG will not be wrong. To see who is ahead of these 3 teams, we will have to wait for the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich match. PSG lost to Bayern Munich before, Bayern Munich needs to beat Arsenal to prove that they are the best team this season. I am waiting to see their record, Arsenal has not conceded a goal yet in the Champions League and Bayern Munich has not lost a match yet this season. Now the thing to see is, will this record remain intact? Or who has to break the record?

This change capable of maintaining balance already points to a clear change compared to last season, furthermore in the Champions League this team is giving excellent results.
I didn't expect to be honest, that he would maintain this standard of play, I expected a drop in performance and instead to my amazement he continues to play well.
I don't know if this record will remain intact, no one is perfect, the mistake is always just around the corner.
Bayer have a great team, perhaps at the moment the only favourite capable of giving them a hard time.

Well the peak of soccer excitement between clubs in Europe is indeed in this competition, the Champion League. So that every season we never get tired of seeing the struggle of many teams to reach the top and become champions in the champions league.

And I think almost every season we always fail to guess which team finally won the title. PSG unexpectedly last season managed to become champions after they started badly actually.

Dam I think this season will also appear new champions from clubs that we might never have expected before. And that will make it more exciting.

Therefore, it's natural that Inter can win every match. Unlike Arsenal, they've faced some strong teams like Bilbao and Atletico Madrid in several matches. Yet, Arsenal still managed to win those matches. So, that's why I personally have more confidence in Arsenal than Inter to win the Champions League. And as for Barcelona, I also hope they can go far. So let's see how far Barcelona can go in the Champions League this season.

I don't know if they're doing very well but saying that they could win the Champions League seems like a bit of a hasty judgement and it also seems to me that this thing is getting out of hand for those who say it, there are a lot of very strong teams that can win but I don't know if they'll make it

And as for Barcelona, ​​I also hope they can go far. So let's see how far Barcelona can go in the Champions League this season.

I do not consider Inter Milan as a real contender for the Champions League this season, they do not seem to be serious about going far in this season Champions League. In their last match against Kairat, Inter Milan failed to score a lot of goals, only scored two and concede one, Real Madrid played against this same team and kept a clean sheet with five goals scored, but Inter Milan couldn't maintain the lead without conceding a goal.

So, when it comes to consider a team as a title contender, we should not compare Inter Milan to Arsenal, as Arsenal has already played more difficult opponents. Barcelona, on the other hand, I hope they go far this season, I don't believe they have what it takes to reach the semifinals as they did last season. They failed to defeat Club Brugge, and were lucky that some goals were canceled, otherwise, they would have lost the match.

Arsenal's squad was strong in the previous few seasons as well. But their main weakness was their weak bench  team. If any player in the squad got injured, Arsenal did not have a suitable  replacement. And that is why in the last 3 seasons we have seen arsenal's squad's performance decline badly whenever players  faced injuries. This problem is not there this season. They have spent a lot of money buying players and strengthening the squad. So this season we  are seeing  very stable performance from Arsenal in both the champions league and Premier league platforms.

What you say is very true and in fact they have now solved the problem and put everything in order, the bench is a very important thing, this makes the thing more practical and can solve this problem, now this thing is really doing good for the team

[Volgastallion]

Im real surprised on how much points and how good some weak teams are performing in this tournament until now, for example Pafos and Qarabag both of them comes from countrys were the football and the football league are really little and both teams are making a real good run until now, the other day for example i saw the Qarabag against Chelsea and they play quite good footbal against the english top team.

Arsenal is actually a team that continues to learn from the experiences of previous seasons. They realized that their problem was that when players in the first team were injured, they didn't have a reliable reserve team in the past few seasons. So they brought in players who could be trusted to become reliable second-stringers. And the results have begun to show this season. In fact, I think they've been there since last season. But I'm not sure if anyone here has noticed it or not.
However, the problem I doubt has been resolved in this team is the players' mentality in major competitions like the Champions League. I'm still unsure whether Arteta and his squad have addressed this issue.

While both teams frustrated me with losing bets, Pafos and Qarabag pulled off some remarkable upsets, perhaps beyond most bettors' expectations.
They played well, knowing they were facing tough opponents like Villarreal and Chelsea, who were far more experienced than Pafos and Qarabag. By prioritizing solid defense and relying only on counterattacks when they had good chances, they managed to score, and overall, Pafos and Qarabag's statistics were very low compared to Villarreal and Chelsea.
Incidents like this are common at the start of every Champions League season, but only at the beginning, and in the end, they still wouldn't advance to the next round.

Your opinion is very valid and I understand very well that the strength PSG has shown recently is enough for you to want to think of them as been the best or the strongest, but then we hope they stay strong enough as other stronger sides are already rising up to the occasion of wanting to displace PSG from been seen as a tough and better side in this competition. We have the likes of Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester City and others who are strong contenders of which PSG may have to prove beyond their strength to stay longer here in this competition.

PSG’s recent fire has been, but the likes of Bayern, Real, Arsenal and City are gearing up to give them a proper run for their money. It’ll be a wild ride to see if PSG can keep proving they’re the toughest side or if one of those giants will step up and take the crown.

Every season in the UEFA Champions League competition, there's always a dark horse but it became even more pronounced since the current expanded format was adopted as it gave teams from lower ranked leagues the opportunity of playing in the biggest club competition. Qarabag is a familiar name in the competition though they were known for always being ousted in the group stage but this season, they've decided to fly the club's flag and finish as high as possible in the group stage, that's very entertaining to see. For Pafos who's got more points than traditional clubs like Juventus and Athletic Bilbao after 4 games, I doubt they'll reach the next stage of the competition even despite getting 5 points in 4 games.

It would be wrong to call PSG the best after their 2-1 home defeat to Bayern Munich. It would not be wrong to put them on the list of the best, but they have lost their right to be at the top. We can call Bayern Munich the best team for now, because they have not lost a match this season. Even PSG will have to snatch victories against Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid to advance in the list of the best. We are now waiting to see which team will advance in the list of the best between Arsenal and Bayern Munich. If Arsenal can beat Bayern Munich, we can say that Arsenal is now the best team, otherwise Bayern Munich will occupy that position.

[bitgolden]

What if Bayern Munich loses? Because underestimating Arsenal at home can sometimes be a mistake for other teams, even though this is the Champions League. Moreover, it's still early in the season, and Arsenal has always looked strong, so Bayern Munich should view Arsenal as a tough opponent in the coming weeks in the Champions League. Their position in the standings is very close to Munich's, and they are also level on points, having neither lost nor drawn in their four Champions League matches.

While that is obviously possible, we still have two weeks until that game so it won't be really anytime soon. Which means both teams have enough to both rest and also try to see if they can do fine in that game and Bayern should be able to recover pretty well and rest.

Underestimating is one thing Bayern never does, even against the smallest teams, they are known to win a game 12-0, which means they did not stop after 5 goals or anything, they did not just slowed down, they just do as good as they can do. Arsenal is no different, they will know how difficult to beat them is, and how they beat PSG is obvious, Bayern will play the same way without a doubt. Losing Diaz will hurt, but they will still do alright in that game.

[m4r1o]

I agree, it will be difficult to predict exactly who will come out victorious among both teams. Chelsea has been on and off but for the records, they have a good record against Barcelona that's one thing that's for sure. If Chelsea will compose themselves in defense then I think they will hit Barcelona when they don't expect it. Barcelona pattern exposes them to constant counter attacks and if Chelsea gets it right, they will at some point break that high line and with good finishers, it will probably end at the back of the net.

mmm, i think that Barcelona will be able to win easily and that there won't be much that Chelsea can do. I understand that everyone is focused on the fact that they think they can win and that Chelsea is a good team anyway, but they won't be able to do it against Barcelona.

This is their second time in the Champions League, and they reached this stage after three qualifying rounds. We really have to appreciate that. They managed to beat Benfica and Copenhagen in their previous matches. They have put in an impressive performance. Their head coach, Gurban Gurbanov, has been the head coach of Qarabağ FK since 2008. I consider this factor to be the biggest contributor to their success.

I see that you decided not to mention Liverpool, but I liked how Liverpool managed to beat Real. It wasn’t a lucky win it was quite a natural and deserved result based on their play. And by the way, regarding Bayern’s game against PSG, I think they also deserve special praise because they played much better. If it weren’t for Dios’ red card, I think they could have even scored more, and it was an away game for Bayern. City have also started playing much better now, so it’s quite possible that they could contend for the victory in this tournament as well. As for Arsenal, I’d first like to see how they play against Bayern, so far I like the way they are playing.

Arsenal has performed very well this season and is now in a good position, level on points with Bayern and Inter Milan.

I also want to see Barcelona win the Champions League trophy this season because Yamal didn't win the Ballon d'Or last season because Barcelona didn't win the Champions League trophy. So I hope Barcelona can win the Champions League this season so that Yamal can get the Ballon d'Or. However, it's currently very difficult to predict who will win the Champions League because the round of 16 hasn't started yet.

In my own point of view I see Arsenal and Bayern Munich as the favorite for that trophy they've been incredible on the competition both home and abroad same as Bayern Munich so if I were to be Mikel Arteta I'd seize this moment to at least win one out of the title either the English premier League or the UEFA Champions League while Bayern Munich on the other hand looks all ready the combination of Luis Diaz and Harry Kane in that Bayern Munich team is something else so even if Arsenal would have problems I'm actually seeing Bayern Munich to be that very problem for them.
