UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[cande86]

Yes, i agree with you because it is true that Barcelona currently does not need to worry, because through any route Barcelona is likely to qualify for the round of 16 in the Champions League. But in my personal opinion, qualifying directly to the round of 16 is also possible for Barcelona. Because as we know, Barcelona currently has two matches remaining and, as far as I know, the two teams that Barcelona will face are neither strong at all.

Because in week 7 Barcelona Will face Slavia Praha and in week 8 Barcelona will face Copenhagennn. So after I look at the history of the two teams that Barcelona will face, it is certain that the performance of both teams will not be too difficult for Barcelona. So that's why I believe Barcelona will definitely be able to win both remaining matches without significant difficulty. And after that, we also have to see whether the competing teams currently in the top 8 make any mistakes or not. Because that will also be a determining factor for Barcelona.

Barcelona certainly for now can stay Traqnuillo both in the Champions League and in the league, clearly these guys must not lower the level of their performances because they feel confident but they must always keep a very high pace, they must remain focused.

i wouldn't be surprised if arsenal finishes this season and the champions league with zero points. they're doing well in the premier league, but you can't say they're dominating the league. they're neck and neck with manchester city after losing one game. their performance so far has been good, but knockout games in the champions league are a whole different thing. psg was very good last season, and they beat them in both games. they aren't standing out as much this season, but there are strong teams they could face.

Many people know that Arsenal is after premier league trophy, because there are strong clubs in this champion league that will not allow Arsenal to finish in 4th or 3rd position. Once lockout stage begin in the champion league then you will begin to see the strongest in PSG, Bayern Munich and Manchester city, because they know how to arrange themselves to start locking club out from the champion league to prepare themselves for finishing.

Even though PSG will not going to lift this champion league trophy it will not pass Bayern Munich, because they have improved in this season to drag the trophy with PSG or any other club in the champion league final battle.

I was having doubt Arsenal wouldn't win the Premier League title when the points gap between Arsenal and Manchester City was just two points, but after Arsenal won their match against Aston Villa and increased the points with Manchester City by four points, I believe Arsenal will win the Premier League title. Since we have alot of big teams participating in the Champions League, winning the Champions League is always difficult. If were Mikel Arteta, I would focus mainly on the Premier League so that it won't pass me by this season.

Currently the pace at which Arsenal is going, it is becoming very obvious that their chances is increasing further, they will very likely win the title this season.  Manchester City is actually coming behind them at a very good speed and so is Aston Villa, but in all Arsenal has and is still showing some kind of consistency that is keeping them far ahead.

Focusing on two competitions with the current squad is a bit more difficult because injuries can affect the team's overall performance and potentially leading to Arsenal failing to achieve either the Champions League or the Premier League. This should be a consideration for Arteta, as with the current squad, they should have a much clearer target than chasing two trophies. Remember how Arsenal failed in the last three seasons and it happened towards the end of the seasoe. This season must be carefully considered by Arteta if you don't want to fail again like the previous season.

Arsenal can do very well, they just have to concentrate and must not repeat last year's mistakes, that is, give up at the end of the championship, letting their opponents win, Liverpool have certainly been much more tenacious and good, but this must not let this happen again this year

[Ale88]

Arsenal are doing very well so far in both the Premier League and the Champions League, but it's not yet clear whether they will be able to play the same way in the second half of the season. Because of their past record of finishing second, they are a team whose chances of winning the championship could be questioned until the very end. I think Arsenal will win one of these two trophies this year, but I don't know which one. Their chances of winning the Champions League are slimmer, perhaps they can win the Premier League.

Arsenal's squad doesn't have enough depth to win two competitions. And their main purchase, Gyökeres, is not scoring a lot, he has been quite average to be honest. If they manage to be still at the top of the Premier League by, let's say, March, then Arteta has to make a choice: keep playing with the same players risking everything or focusing more on the Premier League? This year Liverpool are a disaster, they are only competing against City, they could actually make it but they would have to drop the Champions League.

Gyokeres has been unproductive this season, which is certainly very disappointing. On the other hand, he also has injury problems and has missed many important Arsenal matches. In yesterday's match, Gyokeres did not play the full game, possibly due to stamina issues and the risks he currently faces. He is not yet fully fit to perform at his best, and it is still too early to decide which option to choose. I believe Arteta will try both approaches first until they feel they must commit fully to one. Currently, their positions are still relatively secure in both leagues, so they will certainly prioritize maximizing the trophies they can win this season.

You can't say Gyokeres is unproductive this season just because his not scoring goals as expected, his playing very well and except you don't watch arsenals match that's why you will say his not performing very well, when ever Gyokeres is playing he always gives the defense of the opposition problem making it easy for other of his team mate to score, I don't think Gyokeres has been on any Arsenal match and they lost I don't think so his doing very well and I believe very soon he will start scoring goals.
You know Arsenal don't put all the hope on him to score goals in Arsenal everyone is been giving the opportunity to shot and score which is very good. Yes his a striker and he needs to score goals I just think he needs more time.

I partially agree with you: I like strikers who also do this type of "behind the scenes" work, or dirty job, however you prefer to call it, but Gyökeres was brought in to solve Arsenal's biggest problem: they were missing, for years, a striker that would score goals. And right now he didn't deliver that. He helps the team, sure, but that shouldn't be his main task, it should be something extra.

Barcelona certainly for now can stay Traqnuillo both in the Champions League and in the league, clearly these guys must not lower the level of their performances because they feel confident but they must always keep a very high pace, they must remain focused.

Barcelona haven't been great in the CL so far. They are 15th with 10 points now. However the good news for the fans is that their remaining fixtures are like free 6 points. 

• Slavia Prague (A)
• Copenhagen (H)

These matches really look like very easy for them. Copenhagen are still trying to finish in top 24 but we still are aware of the gap between them and Barcelona in the end.

If I were a Barcelona fan I wouldn't be okay with anything less than 2 wins in these ones. Winning both matches would probably help them finish league phase in top 8.

Some players finds it difficult to cope with the vibes in EPL, in their previous clubs, they will be performing excellently but the moment they come to EPL, they will decline in form unable to meet up to the expectations. Gyokeres is not an exception, he hardly celebrates scoring unlike in Sporting.

Is there any statements made by Arsenal that they're only after the EPL and have no priority over the UCL competition or it's just your speculation about what you think Arsenal can easily win between the UCL and EPL base on the teams and level of competition involved? I think if Arsenal have a way to win both trophies they would do it because it's actually Arsenal dream to win the UCL being a trophy they have never won before.

[verdinio]

Arsenal bagging a trophy at the end of the season from your own point of view, to me can never be a dream come through as arsenal is never a team filled with the potential to win trophies but only put up an impressive performance at the early stages but loses all when the time to prove there worth comes. For the past few seasons, arsenal have been in same possessive runs but never forgets to loss form at the second quarter of the tournament the same way they have started doing this season. So with what i saw in there last game i dont think they could go home with any trophy this season.

Even in my opinion Arsenal can easily win the championship they are creating very important performances, I must say that at this stage the difficulty will be even more increasing and I must say that these guys are very determined and therefore can do really well

It won't be easy for Arsenal to win a trophy this season especially in the Champions League which is full of surprises. Even though Arsenal's performance so far has been impressive in both the Premier League and the Champions League they've even performed perfectly in the latter. Furthermore Arsenal has the same bad trend every season struggling for consistency towards the end.

Furthermore Arsenal has the same bad trend every season struggling for consistency towards the end. Furthermore just because they finished top of the table last season doesn't guarantee Arsenal's easy passage to the Champions League final. For example last season Liverpool also performed very convincingly from the start even reaching the top of both the Premier League and the Champions League. However Liverpool failed miserably in the knockout stages despite their excellent group stage performance. This proves that an impressive group stage performance doesn't guarantee a successful run in the Champions League.

He just can't fit into the PL or Arteta's game plan. That's the reality. Otherwise I can't say he is a terrible player. We've all seen how capable he is at scoring in the Liga Portugal. He was a goal machine then.  

It doesn't look like Arsenal will be able to go on well with him. They've spent quite a big deal of money. If only he surprises us in the upcoming days and starts scoring some goals regularly...

It was obvious from the fact that he WAS already in championship and didn't do that many wonders and people still assumed that he would do fine for arsenal for some reason. Don't get me wrong he isn't terrible, 7 goals in 20 games isn't terrible and should not be considered like a disappointment, specially when you consider how much they paid for him. But the reality is that we are seeing Gyokeres not be like Haaland level striker because we knew that he was only that good in Portugal, he was in England before and didn't do well.

Arsenal is also playing a good game and they are leading with 6 points which is not also not good enough for Arsenal to relax because their opponents are busy strategizing to meet up to the top. Manchester City finally play a draw match with Chelsea which was a normal thing when people was thinking that Manchester City is going to beat Chelsea.

Arsenal can win the champions league league title if they put in the work.but I doubt it is going to be easily as you did mentioned because  there are other top teams and the defending champions who are hoping and willing to by almost every means win the title back again this season.

In my opinion, I think this is the season that Arsenal needs to lift he English Premier League. I have been afraid of Pep Guardiola and his boys but with their recent performance it shows that they will experience on kind of decline for some period of time and before they will resuscited from this decline, Arsenal must have fired far in the table.

To be honest with us if football is fair, Arsenal does not need to go home trophyless this season. If they cannot get the English Premier League, they should go for the Champions League because in Europe currently they are the most inform and the good team. Arteta has paid his dues, he has tried his best, he needs to be rewarded with trophy in order to keep him motivated.

[Agbamoni]

You missed one important thing Arsenal hasn't winning mentality, no doubt how top perform Arsenal at early season always but after playing middle season get inconsistency and difficult for getting victory at the crucial match. Eliminated last season at semifinal round from PSG I can't acceptable with players injury and classic reason, all teams has their players injury or absent due yellow card or red card suspended but still play well because has good enough with substitutes players qualities.

Stop taking us backward. The last two years are not this year. This season, Arsenal are winning games they are supposed to win. We can all agree they have the winning mentality. Liverpool and Manchester City are the clubs still struggling to go top of the league, which I think will be very difficult to see. Again, Aston Villa should not be left out of the title race. I think they are also contenders for the title.

I think if Arsenal have a way to win both trophies they would do it because it's actually Arsenal dream to win the UCL being a trophy they have never won before.

Champions league is actually a league that Arsenal has never won before but from the look of things, they will only get to focus on one of those trophies because if they want to put in the energy they have now into both games, they may end up losing both and will likely not get a good chance like they have now. Being at a good firm now that they are, the premier league is more realistic for them to triumph in now that the champions league. They have a good run so far in the champions league, but they shouldn’t also forget their strive in the premier league so far which has been tremendous too and have a clearer chance of winning the trophy more than the champions league.

The lost 2 and drew 3 games so far this season. Aren't they supposed to be winning those as well, or are we supposed to turn a blind eye to that? Until the season is done or close to getting done. Let's not start thinking like it's all over already because Arsenal is leading by 6 points.  There was a time when they had a far much better point margin from the second team, and they blew up the lead.

[Ale88]

I think if Arsenal have a way to win both trophies they would do it because it's actually Arsenal dream to win the UCL being a trophy they have never won before.

It's extremely unlikely that a club would ever announce that they prefer to focus on one competition over another one, it would show weakness. That of course doesn't mean that they can make some internal agreement, or simply the manager chooses to rest the best players in some specific matches.
I understand Arsenal would love to win the Champions League, who wouldn't? But in the last Premier Leagues we often had a team that would have an exceptional season, leaving no hopes for the other teams. This year Liverpool are a disaster and City are still great but mainly because of Haaland, the rest of the team is not playing that well. They are extremely Haaland-dependent at the moment. On the other hand Arsenal are scoring with several different players and they are playing well. But I don't think they can keep up with two competitions at the same time. Winning the Premier League would be a huge result anyway, it wouldn't be a secondary trophy, it would be a huge deal for Arsenal.

[bitgolden]

In Bromma, all the way back, he scored 25 goals in 67 games, and in Coverntry he scored 43 goals in 116 games, only in sporting he scored 97 goals in 102 games and that's where everyone started to talk about how great he was.

I am sorry but he had like two good seasons there and people suddenly started to think that Gyokeres will be some amazing player. He is not, he is just a striker who found the perfect team for himself for a few seasons and that's it. They are doing fine without him too, he wasn't the star, he left and they are still winning ever game. This is why I think it's clear we are going to see Gyokeres struggle to score that much. But as long as he does like 150-170 minutes per goal range, he will be fine.

[Tamaperdana]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Benfica knocked out some bigger team under Mourinho.
The next match against Juventus will already tell us a lot about their current form, but if they do manage to go through, then in the next round they’ll be a really tough opponent in a two-legged tie — and I think they’ll draw a giant and actually eliminate them.

I think even though benfica is currently coached by Morinho, i personally think they will have a little difficulty beating Juventus in this upcoming match. Because juventuus is clearly strongerr than Benfica at this time, and besides, this match will also be held at Juventus's headquarters, which will certainly be very advantageous for Juventus. So, because of that, I believe Juventus chances of winning this match are much greater than Juventus.,

In addition, after facing Juventus, Benfica will also face Real Madrid in Week 8 of the Champions League, and I think that match will also make it difficult for Benfica to win. Because I think you also know that Real Madrid's performance is currently clearly above Benfica. So, for that reason, I personally, honestly, quite doubt that Benfica can advance to the knockout stages. Because currently Benficca is also in 25thh place, so with that, they will likely have difficulty getting into the play-offs. So I don't think we need to have high expectations for Mourinho team.
