UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[$weetne$$]

Advancing from the group stage is the big challenge in UCL because of the new format. Any club that is able to qualify from the group stage will become more focused with their matches because they have the advantage to qualify to the next stage if they win their opponent. It's from that stage that one can start to predict which of the clubs will be the favorite for the Champions League title this season.

The group stage in this new champions league format is a tough one seeing that you have to face a good number of teams combined with your domestic league games is a challenge in itself, so I will agree that getting past this stage alone is a big challenge and also an epitome of hope to make it to the next round of the league depending on the strength and performance of the team.

I'm quite comfortable with the current settings of the UEFA Champions League. It's been one of the lucrative and elite tournaments, who doesn't want to approach a win from their ends? All formidable clubs have been aligned with their very pattern of game and a win have been on their ultimate plans to explore.

So tell me the club's you have in mind to win the UEFA champions league? I'm sticking to Real Madrid and Chelsea because they've been underrated following their inconsistency in streak winnings but let's not forget how these clubs have been managing to win games and collecting accolades. Quite alot of things have surpassed this very phase of football.

I think Liverpool, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich are also very worthy of being considered title contenders this season. I also believe Real Madrid chances are equal to PSG, while Chelsea still seems to have to fight harder to prove their strength in the Champions League after suffering a severe setback in the last two seasons. This is just an initial assumption, and We recognize that a team bargaining power is greatly influenced by many factors. Like losing a key player to injury can change a team chances, and there are several other things that also have a significant impact.

If we can single out some teams from all the other teams for the Champions League or if we can consider some teams as favorites, then Chelsea's name will definitely come up. At the moment, Chelsea is undoubtedly a team that is performing well, not only because they won the Club World Cup title last season, but also because they have young footballers in their team and most of their footballers are quite skilled, as well as each player in this team has a good understanding with each other, so overall this team can be expected to perform well. If we exclude the results of some unlucky matches, then we can easily imagine that Chelsea has a lot of potential to do well in the Champions League next season.

Yes, if we talk about the 5 best teams that may have great potential to become champions league champions, I also agree that Chelsea may be included in the list of 5 teams. But honestly if you say Chelsea is the team that has the greatest potential to win the Champions League, I personally doubt that. Because in the Champions league of course the teams that participate are also far greater than the teams that participate in the Club World Cup. So with that, I don't think Chelsea is a team that has a great chance of winning the Champions League. Because in my personal opinion, the team that might have a great chance of winning the Champions League is Barcelona. Because as we know, currently Barcelona's performance is really very good. So with that, I'm sure in the Champions league Barcelona will appear more stunning than Chelsea. But this is just a prediction, so I could lose. But somehow I really believe that this season Barcelona will become champions in the Champions league.

Every big team as you mentioned, certainly has a chance to challenge for the title this season, but it depends on how the coach capitalizes on the opportunity. Real Madrid and PSG also have the same chance as Liverpool, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich, and we might see a surprise team reach the final, a team we hadn't considered at all. Conversely, injuries to some of their players could make it difficult for certain teams to compete in the Champions League.

And even the way people are so much anticipating that Chelsea might win the Champions League is actually crazy, but I feel it is too early to be determining all these things, so there is a better way we can do the analysis because when the league gets serious, there are people that are more active than Chelsea, but they are not showcasing yet, and Chelsea is just doing all this because the league is not yet at its peak. That is when we are going to know.

You don't think Chelsea should be among the top 5 favourite teams to win the UCL this season or what. They have made a tremendous performance in their last season campaign surviving in the top 4 in the EPL, winning the conference league and going further to challenge PSG to win the club world cup tournament. This is enough achievements to put them among the favourites, early or not. Chelsea will give us a beautiful performance this season as they have really improved to withstand any team in the UCL this season.

Chelsea will definitely be in top 5 to win the Champions League this season because they are in good form and can challenge any club in the Champions League competition. Last season PSG is in good form and won many titles but when they face Chelsea they can't challenge them and Chelsea achieve CWC trophy easily. This season I believe that Chelsea will win more trophies because they have all the key players a team will need to have. Garnacho as come to Chelsea and is ready to contribute in the club.

Any fans knows that Chelsea as really improved and he will always be difficult for any team to defeat them easily. We know that football is always unpredictable but when you look Chelsea performance last season and currently you will notice that they really improve this time around, and that is why they get the opportunity to achieve Wcw titles  against psg and that is respect. Chelsea Ucl fixtures i think is only Barcelona will give them tough time, but the rest of the club, i don't think they can probably compete with Chelsea.

Let not come to hasty conclusion because the champions League has not even started plus teams can even lose form Chelsea target should be trying to win the premier League this season but as for the champions League it's a different competition which there are many good teams that are targeting to win

If Chelsea target is only to win the premier League title this season, there's no way they could work so hard last season to finish in the position that would allow them to qualify for this year's Champions League competition. Chelsea is in a good condition currently and if they can maintain their current performance for a long time, believe me Chelsea can win the Champions league trophy.

That is when we are going to know.

Chelsea management has tried their best to make stronger their squad. But we still do not know how strong the team is. Chelsea could not play well in the first match against Crystal palace. On the other hand , the team performed brilliantly against West Ham in the second match. Chelsea won the match by a big margin of 5- 1. Chelsea's overall performance is still a bit erratic. For that reason, Chelsea cannot be considered as a favorite for the Champions League yet. If they want to do well in the Champions League, they will have to continue their good performance consistently. I still have doubts about Chelsea's ability. Anyway, there is still a lot of time left before the Champions League starts. For this reason, it is not possible to make predictions so quickly about how Chelsea will perform in the Champions League.

If we can single out some teams from all the other teams for the Champions League or if we can consider some teams as favorites, then Chelsea's name will definitely come up.

I think you are talking about this new season, I agree with you that Chelsea will be among the teams that will drag this UEFA title to break record this season like the way they surprised people in the last FIFA club world cup last season, I know there are strong teams in this UEFA champion League competition, that will make some teams that performed very well last season to feel they can still lead this season which is impossible, for some matches Chelsea players have played so far, I think Chelsea will become the champion of this UEFA champion League because they have dropped some players that is making the team not to make progress in some important tournaments.

let say among the top ten clubs that stands a chance of winning the champions League but as I have said before it's too early to be talking about which team is favorite to win or not because for the main time the season is just starting and alot of things can change which will affect performance of any team

Not only in the Champions League, but also in all other tournaments, it is not possible to say in advance which team will be the champion of this tournament, but considering the strength of the performance team, some teams can always be separated from all other teams. Many teams qualify for the Champions League, but every season we see certain teams playing the quarter-finals and semi-finals as well as the final. So far, it has never happened that a completely unknown team has confirmed the final of the Champions League. Since Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, PSG, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea are stronger than all other teams, these teams can be kept ahead of all other teams.

It no actually a conclusion it's just we all having an eye on the teams that we think can win the UCL this new season that's just about to start and Chelsea is clearly one of those teams in all aspects. And why can't they focus on winning the premier league and the UCL at same thing? It's nothing no other club haven done, Manchester city has done it so any club can and Chelsea if they are well prepared for it can make that a reality although it wouldn't be an easy sail.

I actually agree that Chelsea has the qualifications to shine In champions league. Even though they have played some find of unfriendly game's this season Chelsea has invested so far in your and talented players, which gradually we will begin to see performances.
Once they find the right way to coordinate the team to be they can actually become a very strong team in Europe again. Looking at their previous games in club world cup and champions league was a success and that show they know how to coordinate themselves on big stage. To me the current players should stay focused and avoid injuries they will definitely bring out something great next season.

Any club that is in form can win the Champions League, don't feel that's only Chelsea that can win it. There are more elite clubs in the Champions League than Chelsea despite that Chelsea performance shows that they're in form. Nobody knows which club can make it to the final at this stage.

Advancing from the group stage is the big challenge in UCL because of the new format. Any club that is able to qualify from the group stage will become more focused with their matches because they have the advantage to qualify to the next stage if they win their opponent. It's from that stage that one can start to predict which of the clubs will be the favorite for the Champions League title this season.

The group stage is a very tough one to handle because you are playing like the league format and so many teams will be faced and that alone can be very challenging.  Combining  the qualifications from the group stage with the games in their own leagues games is really a tough one and after this qualification it is true that the focus becomes even more intense on chances to win the title or go far in the league to at least have a decent finish.

It's from that stage that one can start to predict which of the clubs will be the favorite for the Champions League title this season.

It is very obvious that after the group stage is the decisive stage of the champions league, where we get to see teams who have passed through the first stage of the competition and heading to the knockout phase. I just know that the more they go higher in the competition, the more they face difficulty because of the nature of the competition requires you to be more super creative. Base on the performance of the group stage matches in the competition, that is how we can better tell which teams will stand a better chance in the competition going forward and those that have the higher tendency of making it to the next round and eventually the final if they keep up with their good form.

[Zaguru12]

I agree that it’s far too early to start talking about favourites to win the CL.

It’s so hard to win and that’s why you rarely ever see a team defend the title. Real Madrid are the only team to do that this century.

The usual suspects will be there but too early to single out definite favourites now.

Every start of the season I usually see football fans usually predicting favourite even before match day one and predictions are usually based on the early season form of this clubs or even the kind of players they have on their team. Most often this predictions do not work out because either most of this teams dip in form or other contenders get better as the season progresses and this makes it difficult to win against them, we have seen clubs started the season well but right after the early start they fail to put up same performances again.

Any club that is in form can win the Champions League, don't feel that's only Chelsea that can win it. There are more elite clubs in the Champions League than Chelsea despite that Chelsea performance shows that they're in form. Nobody knows which club can make it to the final at this stage.

I could remember last season when Liverpool was regarded as the favourite then  because of how they were dominating the premier league then and also the comprehensive league they topped the table only to be beaten by PSG in the knockout stage, PSG on the other hand were even last to get qualification then and ended up been eventual winners

[logfiles]

I think Liverpool, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich are also very worthy of being considered title contenders this season. I also believe Real Madrid chances are equal to PSG, while Chelsea still seems to have to fight harder to prove their strength in the Champions League after suffering a severe setback in the last two seasons. This is just an initial assumption, and We recognize that a team bargaining power is greatly influenced by many factors. Like losing a key player to injury can change a team chances, and there are several other things that also have a significant impact.

You will be surprised once the tournament starts 

It's no longer about who is big and who is not. In fact, last season should have taught most people a lesson. For example, how many people here thought that PSG would go all the way and lift it? I am quite sure they were very few, if not, none! If you recall very well, PSG had to even go for play-off in order to qualify for the next round.

Strength or Player quality aren't always the key to a club's success, and I agree that last season, very few people believed PSG could achieve new Champions League history, but that was achieved through their hard work. It's too early to say which club is strong and which club is weak, because sometimes our predictions don't go as expected. This can be seen more clearly, so the round of 16 could be the first step to see how far the teams will go in this season's Champions League.

This is why I love football because it is full of surprises. PSG was the least club the booker made the favorite in their odd before the competition started last season. They shocked everyone and humiliated all the big clubs that crossed their path during the competition. I will love to see a different club win UCL this season if possible.

I agree with this point and say that Ronaldo is a star player in Al Nassr in the Saudi League, but his team is not winning the title. Again, when Ronaldo, Messi and Mbappe played together in PSG, the team could not become the champion. It can be said for sure that having a star player does not mean winning. If there is no good relationship within the team, then it is not possible to win. Those who can do the right thing at the right time on the field will be able to grab the best place. For this, not the star but everyone in the team will have to work hard and win.

From the group stage, there are weak opponents, which is why the true strength of the team cannot be understood, but the true face of the team can be light out from the round of 16.

Football is more of an entertainment, only for those that have seen it in such manner, because from last season and as you have said, it was never believed that they would have gone that far from the way everything started, which is football for you, i also observe that the same PSG have been panting over the UCL title for long and never got it until their time reached last season that they surprised everyone and made it at last.

Yea, it is because PSG have been struggling to win the Champions League and didn't achieve it after several attempts even when they gat three of the world outstanding players in their squad was why people underestimated them. Sometimes, we the way look at it is not how it turns out to be which makes it difficult for us to predict the future. This is why I feel no one knows the club that would win the Champions League the season.

Yes, if we remember that, you're absolutely right. The Champions League title was completely unexpected last season. So, given that, it's possible the same thing will happen this season. Predicting which teams will win the Champions League is quite difficult this season. Although I currently feel Barcelona has great potential to win, my prediction could still be completely wrong. But the point is, there's nothing wrong with having our own predictions, because honestly, that's what makes it even more exciting.



Besides, the Champions League starts in about two weeks. I really can't wait for this competition to begin. Honestly, the Champions League matches are incredibly exciting. Furthermore, this season's Champions League matches will kick off with PSV vs Union and Bilbao vs Arsenal. I think both of these matches will be incredibly exciting. But it seems like Arsenal vs Bilbao will be even more popular. Because of course, the match between Arsenal and Bilbao will be incredibly intense. So I really can't wait to watch it.
