UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Fakhrulenclix]

Chelsea is a very good team. Chelsea is in very good form at the moment. If we compare Chelsea with other teams, we may see that many big teams are in very bad form and playing very badly compared to Chelsea. But this is not how it should be. If a team has to do well like Chelsea this season, they will have to work very hard and they cannot be allowed to have any kind of weakness. They have to prepare themselves very hard. Currently, very small teams are adding many big players to their teams and they are trying to get to a very good level.

That is if seen since last season and indeed Chelsea is a team that continues to develop and the peak was when they won the inter-club world cup so Chelsea started to be taken into account again but I will not exaggerate especially after seeing Chelsea's performance in the Premier League match week I think they can not be overestimated because Chelsea is a team that is just developing and to compete in the Champions League there are quite a lot of aspects that need to be fulfilled and the most striking is mentality, I think Chelsea's young players don't have that yet.

You do know that the Premier League has started right?
And that Chelsea only drew at home while Liverpool, Arsenal, and City all won their matches, right?
So, what are those teams that are playing very badly? 
Barcelona? Madrid? Oh, wait!

As for Bodo, Sturm, like seriously, a team wiped with a 5-1 by the first real team they met, and the other that managed to save face in the last tournament just because they made it without a round of qualification and the only serious team they encounted beat them 5-0, seriously, both are here just to make the numbers.

Yeah, this season’s Champions League will be more competitive than the previous one, and even the pressure will be different. Also, suggesting the winner of this season’s Champions League will be possible around the quarterfinals or even the semifinals, but for now it will be very difficult. If care is not taken, I don’t think PSG will be able to make it to the semifinals this season, talk less of the final.

It's too early to judge which team will emerge victorious in the Champions League because we haven't seen how the teams performed in the play-offs and how the teams from each league can perform. PSG are still considered the favorites based on their performance last season, but I have some doubts about their abilities this season, as many other top teams may have improved significantly.

Predicting with certainty which team will win this season's Champions League is impossible, as there's still a long way to go before the final. The English team might be one of the favorites, as I see them fielding a slightly larger number of representatives this season.

[m4r1o]

PSG will face a lot this season, because there are already feelings at the top, and also the same amount in the top European teams, which will affect them a lot. Even though they are seen as the team that will do something good this season, I don’t think they will be able to perform any better, as there is a lot of expectation on them. If care is not taken, their performance might even go worse, as they might have some challenges even in their domestic league, which will make them have a worse season this season.
 

PSG performance will always be good currently because they just started doing well last season, and am sure they will challenge some big clubs this season again in the Champions League. I can believe that PSG can perform weak in the Champions League but I don't believe if they will lose the league competition. PSG as be performing weak in many years they have be struggling to achieve the Champions league but they usually failed but that doesn't give other clubs to challenge them in the league competition every season. PSG as achieve there goals last season so this season i don't really sure if they will stress there self too much again in the ucl competition.

Let was see how they will perform better in the Ucl this season. Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, arsenal, Munich and Chelsea are the only club i think one of them will be the favorite to achieve the Ucl trophy this season, because they are in a good form and buy new players that will make the team stronger then before. Let wait the Ucl to begin and we definitely know who can be the best to achieve it this time around. I don't think if PSG can win it this time anymore with what they perform against Chelsea in the CWC.

Yes, but PSG's performance could drop, it's not a given that they'll be able to maintain the same level as last year. I think a decline is normal for all teams and PSG won't be any less, but this year they've called in reinforcements so I think they'll make it.

[Adbitco]

Chelsea have the history of winning the Champions League in the condition of the team not going well in the English League, but this season cannot be used as a reference that Chelsea can repeat the same thing. The midfield is indeed quite crucial because it is the brain of a series of attacks that are trying to be built and if the attack line is creative enough in building attacks it will be easier for strikers to score goals. Of course all crucial positions in football and I don't think Chelsea have not lacked good players, it's just that so far it has not been fully maximized in contributing to the team.

It's just twice and that not enough to give it this magnitude that you're giving it, Chelsea have had series of bad seasons in the past and they didn't win the Champions League. Besides in 2021 that they won the champions league, they weren't so bad and struggling the way they struggled last season. I agree with you on the aspect of Chelsea not lacking good players.

I do not know if you have watched Chelsea play recently, apart from the champions league, the premier league is like the toughest and most competitive of all the leagues across Europe and so it will be okay to draw judgment from their Premier league performances, if we are to do that then your comparison discussion will not be true as other bigger teams are doing well and appear to be in a better form than Chelsea.  Chelsea needs to do more than they are doing now to even secure a decent finish in the premier.

Chelsea had a good summer preparation period. They signed quality players, and I believe Garnacho will be the latest example of this. After bringing him in, and with a comprehensive squad rotation, they could become a Premier League title contender. They will also continue their Champions League campaign. I believe they will be a team to watch this year.

Chelsea are already EPL title contenders and have become one of the comprehensive team in the English Premier League. They have good players capable of handling the team's objectives and also having a considerable backup players. Enzo Maresca is doing his best to fit in and he will explore more for his team this season. I've watched Chelsea pattern closely and how they've managed to belt up and win matches with ease. The Blues have running patterns and winning matches is definitely one of the outstanding performance for them.

No doubt with the caliber of players Chelsea bought this summer Chelsea are Premier League title contenders this season. Chelsea has been struggling to perform well in the past years, but after Enzo Maresca was appointed Chelsea head coach, Chelsea's performance took a new shape, and with the quality players Chelsea signed this summer, I am expecting Enzo Maresca to lead Chelsea to win one major trophy this season.

Chelsea is performing well, so we should encourage Chelsea and support them because this team is different from all other teams. Where other teams would be disappointed if they bought players once and did not perform well, Chelsea would bring important players to their club every season to strengthen their team even after being disappointed again and again, and this season they did that because of which they went to the final of a big tournament like the Club World Cup and won the Club World Cup title by defeating a big opponent like PSG. I do not want their achievements to be limited to the Club World Cup title only, I want them to perform well in the current season of the English Premier League and to end the season by securing a good position in the points table.
Since the club has good quality players, they will definitely do well in the current season's Premier League and the next Champions League.

Chelsea winning the champions league in the past is difference from now and their performance should be used to determine how far they stand a chance to go far in the competition, they have a good squad but their first outing in the league doesn't show that the squad is strong enough to face big teams in the champions League. Their attack is weak, their midfield wasn't very active against Crystal Palace if they have good players they should start showing that in the teams performance not just the name of the players alone.

Chelsea is a good team but the manager should focus on targeting a win in every match they play he shouldn't just complain to the team they should work it out in training and get the best result in every game if they must achieve a good record this season.

It may be a tough challenge for Chelsea to win both the Premier League and the Champions League. However, in football, surprises often happen. Chelsea's success depends on their ability to handle pressure and adapt to the situation on the pitch. If they can maximize the potential of their young and new players and unite them into a solid team, it's not impossible that they can perform more than our expectations.

Competing in the premier league comes with a lot more hardwork and consistency. Yes Chelsea have a good squad, a large one at that but they need to master the art of winning every game each week. These players are still learning to play as a unit and it could take time so I am not expecting so much from Chelsea this season.

In the English Premier League, winning and defeats will always be orders for the day. Chelsea are one of the big clubs in the English Premier League. They won major titles and have been on the records for most outstanding performance and stats in England. Chelsea this season have been overrated in my opinion, they just have to be hardly craving for excellent qualities and hoping to bounce back to good shape. Chelsea pattern is quite a new one because Enzo Maresca have instructed his players to abide by him and explore more features to exhibits inother to win games.

What is happening to PSG is not a new thing, expectations and anticipations can most times cause some of these things to happen, after the won the champions league, a title they have long worked for, they got their morale pumped up high and probably felt they have been able to equate with top European teams forgetting that this could cause them some fall when they feel too comfortable at the top, best thing they should and can do now is to get back on improving and not allow the event of the loss continually tell on them.
 Since Paris Saint Germain team loss that FIFA club world cup last season, it has been making Paris Saint Germain players not to be well organize in the pre-season to improve their performance, even some of their players they are willing to leave the team during the summer season but their coach will not give any players such privileges to leave when their contract has not yet ended,  I know they won last season UEFA champion League title, but it will not be easy for them to win this new season title because many English league teams has added more productive players to their teams that will make Paris Saint Germain not to lead the UEFA champion League to this season, let us wait and see what Paris Saint Germain coach will do to prove his professional career to increase the strength of his players, so that different strategies will be coming out from Paris Saint Germain players to display excellently through out the tournament.

ah but look, after the Champions League victory they disappointed me a little, it seems like they've relaxed and it's no coincidence that at the Club World Cup they were slapped by Chelsea, we all know that
Getting to the top doesn't mean you are arrived, it means you have to work harder to keep yourself number 1

Are you serious, did you just say that you are not expecting anything much from a team you just said they got a good squad, Chelsea played against crystal palace and I believe you watched them play, so will you say that such team with a good football control will not have anything to show for it this season, they did not score any goal in that match that we know but they played very well, I can only accept that it may take some of their players time to adapt to the English premier league pattern or even the team style of play but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't expect anything from them this season after all the season is still fresh and we can not start now to conclude which team that will be the best for the new season.

Champions League will be tough for Bodo/Glimt. In my opinion, if they were playing in the Europa League or the Conference League with their current style of play they could have had a real chance of success, but here it looks difficult.

It wouldn’t be entirely accurate to judge their overall level just based on the Sturm Graz match, because Sturm Graz is known as a team that both concedes and scores goals easily. I don’t think Bodø/Glimt will be able to achieve such comfortable victories in the Champions League. Maybe there could be 1–2 matches like that, but not consistently.

These are entirely my own opinions.

With the caliber of clubs that play in the UEFA Champions League, I totally agree with you that the UEFA Champions League will be difficult for Bodø/Glimt, and their chances of making it to the knockout phase are very small. Even though Bodø/Glimt will not make it past the qualifying stage of the UEFA Champions League, it is good they booked a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League competition because they will generate revenue for just playing in the UEFA Champions League.

Chelsea have the history of winning the Champions League in the condition of the team not going well in the English League, but this season cannot be used as a reference that Chelsea can repeat the same thing.

I don't think so either. I think there are other teams that are much stronger. My favorites are still the EPL teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, and then in Spain, Madrid and Barcelona. But I think anything can still happen. There’s always a new surprise in the Champions League. But the dominance of the teams seems to remain the same, with no major changes. Currently, there are still seven more teams competing to qualify for the UCL. I see some new teams I’ve rarely heard of, and perhaps Pafos and Kairat have a chance to make history by qualifying for the UCL.

Anything can happen. Even a team you did not expect to win or even perform well will surprise you. That is how football works, and for that, even Chelsea can win the UCL. We should not predict too much right now; let's see how these teams perform. If they start, Chelsea is not that weak a team, you know; they are gradually getting their sway in their feet.

and that is why I am still hoping to see Chelsea at the top of the table. Furthermore, we can’t even predict the teams that will perform well or win the team that will win the UCL title right now when the season is not even yet to start. Let’s not be too fast in predictions; many clubs get prepared for the coming season. We don’t know how it will turn out to be.

Football cannot be predicted every time successfully, we ha e to try our best, because these players and their respective teams are also trying all their best to ensure that they emerged for the best and to the last, the UEFA Champions League title is what every team has been aiming, same also, we can't tell who may win for this new season, until we see how far they all can go in it.

Of course, we can only predict but that doesn't mean that our predictions will be correct. Anyone that wants to predict which club would be the Champions this season can do so but I feel that it's too early, because the competition hasn't gotten to its peak yet. Sometimes, the club that we feel will do better ends up being the worst in performance. Take a chill pill and let the season decide.

How do you know that Benfica will win in front of their fans? The second legs are always more interesting, but they're always played cautiously. Fenerbahce always knows how to perform in important matches, so i think it won't be easy for Benfica to beat them.

Unfortunately, we can't guarantee that Benfica will be able to achieve what they promise to do, but having the fans behind them certainly helps.
I've seen matches where fans cheered until the end, pumping up the team who then turned the result around in a few minutes.

You can't guarantee a win for any team ever. That is not really possible, and that is why we do not know the answer to this game. However, we can make speculations which is the entire betting industry relies on, we do not know the answer and we just try to make a guess. This is the same, we are going to see how this could change, and how we could see better results.

If we can do that, then we are going to end up with Benfica winning, because that is what we speculate, and if you look at the odds, then Benfica is heavily favourited to win at their home ground as well. The only downside is that, they are going to have to win a single game, it's not a league thing, they either win, or they go to Europa, so it's very much an unknown game.

We could also see more rich people join in as well. Look at premier league, even a team like Newcastle is owned by rich people, and not doing great. This means that teams could reach a point where most of them are owned by wealthy people, and in that case, it would still be "equal" in a way. Yes not like the old days, but it would be not so much gap.

Like for example, PSG is richer than all other teams in France right now, but there are some gossip about teams being sold to other rich people, Paris FC was sold for example and growing, maybe teams like Lille, Monaco, Marseille would be sold too, and create some competition for PSG as well. What's so bad about rich people buying up teams, I rather see them use their money that way than tax evasion.

Tax evasion is the task of every responsible citizen. And what taxes are you talking about if the Premier League clubs are bought up with oil money from various dictators?
As for development, it is very uneven - look at the gap between the EPL and the Championship. The EPL is literally a Super League and there is no rotation with the Championship because there is a gap between them. And this unevenness lies precisely in oil money - if they are removed, then the financial fall of the Premier League will be catastrophic, perhaps at the level of Barcelona.

You're right, but people have their own ways of predicting who's most likely to win the UCL. Some indicators used include squad depth and recent domestic league performance, but neither is enough and things could be different when it comes to the UCL.

Nothing is certain in football. I mean, teams that weren't favored from the start can still perform well and beat the favorites. We remember, PSG won their first Champions League title when many people didn't have high expectations for them at the start of the season, but in the end, PSG succeeded in winning their first title. Chelsea could also surprise, as could a few other teams.

What people should note is that any indicator that is used by anyone to determine or predicts which team will win the champions League is under probability and is not a true reflection of how things will work out when the champions League group stage get on the way they are all speculations and the imagination of people because last season no body expected PSG to win the champions League looking at how they started the group stages
