UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

Yes, if I remember correctly, City were the favorites at the start of the season, as always... and how badly they failed in the end. Even a struggling Real Madrid crushed them 6-3 without breaking a sweat.
Real Madrid also looks like a near-perfect team to me (based on their roster), but I'm biased. In any case, last season showed that there are many factors (injuries, for example) that can throw everything off balance, so it's not a given that Real Madrid will be able to realize their full potential, but I'll keep my hopes up.

Seriously? How can they choose Manchester City to be the favorite when everyone could see with their own eyes how they played last season? I don't understand that at all and if it wasn't for the last season, there was still the Club World Cup to have a look at and I think PSG, despite losing the final, has proven that they are still worth to be considered favorites especially as the title defenders.

The last PSG game was another bit of important info. They didn't only beat Barcelona at home, but they were ahead in all relevant parts of the game. When you get double the number of shots on target and 9 corners in the Camp Nou stadium, it is no coincidence.

[ShowOff]

Barcelona players never saw that defeat coming from PSG not when they were incomplete due to injuries but they still defeated Barcelona in front of their fans it's not a good thing for a team like Barcelona but this is football that Barcelona lost doesn't mean they are not a good team they wasn't in their best and the result will teach them a better lesson which they will use to win their other games. Barcelona has what it takes to win the champions League this season all they need is to keep performing well.

The defeat to PSG was certainly very disappointing, but Barcelona still has a chance to progress further in the Champions League. On the other hand, even though Barcelona has all the attributes needed to win a trophy, I think their chances are not greater than those of PSG, Real Madrid, or Bayern Munich. Hansi Flick needs to make Barcelona consistent and unbeaten going forward so that their strength is taken into account as a trophy contender.

Looking at how they lost to PSG, I think everyone can easily assume that Barcelona has a major weakness in defense. Hansi Flick must fix that area to prevent conceding goals too easily, while in attack, I think they are very good. The international break will be a good opportunity to evaluate the team as a whole.

This is not because of underestimating PSG but it must be admitted that the quality and mentality of the PSG team is much better than Barcelona so they have to accept defeat at home, I think this is not a big surprise that happened, in fact I say that this is a deserved result, PSG was the champion last season, they now have very high confidence while Barcelona is only a developing team with young players so mentally this team is not better than PSG.

It seems Barcelona will still struggle to advance further in the Champions League if they are beaten at home by PSG, as several other teams are also very strong, and that will also be a serious obstacle for Barcelona. While I hope they can advance further this season, although they still have a chance, in the Champions League every opponent is a barrier that shouldn't be underestimated. Barcelona must fight from now on if they want to advance to the next round of the Champions League, even though their current position in the standings isn't that bad.

This is purely excuses because Psg had some of their won best players absent from the game. They used younger players in place of Doue,  Khivcha Kvaratskhelia, Ousman Dembele, Neves and also the club captain Marquinhos. Barcelona had all the qualities and they went on to lose that game at home.  Well, they're champions of Europe so that performance was expected from football fans. The best fullbacks in the world made themselves seen and available during meeting between themselves.

[Lillominato89]

Honestly speaking with you I don't believe for one day that Barcelona will lose against Paris Saint Germain with this there current form but it happened, even with the plenty injury players Paris Saint Germain has and this result has given me the reason to believe that Paris Saint Germain wil beat Barcelona well if they are complete I mean if their injury players are back and funny enough they didn't even play Barcelona like they have players that are injury instead they played as if everyone is available, they did well and Nuno Mendez has been an obstacle for Lamine Yamal.

The outcomes in football continue to result in series of interesting and unexpected ways, this what makes the the games never boring season after season. What has always influenced the low rating of PSG when they meet some of these big clubs in European competitions is due to the league they're coming from being regarded as farmers league. Now facing a Barcelona side that are in one of their best form in the season with a PSG team from a farmers league that are not playing with some of their best first team players, it would be crazy to have thought that they can beat Barcelona in their home.

That was such a great and wonderful game, no doubt about that, because they were underestimating PSG too much due to their domestic league. After the game, PSG proved to them that it’s not that other teams can’t challenge them in the domestic league; it’s just that they are too strong for them. In the end, Barcelona ended up losing a home game, although sometimes games come like that.

This is not because of underestimating PSG but it must be admitted that the quality and mentality of the PSG team is much better than Barcelona so they have to accept defeat at home, I think this is not a big surprise that happened, in fact I say that this is a deserved result, PSG was the champion last season, they now have very high confidence while Barcelona is only a developing team with young players so mentally this team is not better than PSG.

In my opinion, given how the match unfolded, it is fair to say that Paris Saint-Germain has a team of a much higher calibre. Barcelona is considered a team that could win the Champions League, but PSG defeated them even with half of their starting line-up not on the pitch, which shows that even their substitutes are of the highest quality.

Germany side can only be possible threat and when they face Paris Saint-Germain, they got humbled because PSG is not the team to mess around with, they will always make good use of the advantage and opportunities on the pitch. That's the one thing I admire about Luis Enrique, he doesn't jeopardize any good opportunities coming his path, always ready to execute meaningful strategy and purpose for the club. Paris Saint-Germain are matching and waging war on any fierce rival that claimed to be the very best. Paris Saint-Germain is the best team in Europe and defeating Barcelona was on their radar. How can you tell me that Les Parisiens travel to Spain and win Barcelona at home, they earned it with half of their key players absent.

Honestly, I still don't dare to say whether Real Madrid can truly win this season. Liverpool should also be in contention (despite their recent dip in form). PSG, who are clearly determined to defend their title, Barcelona, ​​who are very ambitious, Bayern Munich, who have consistently performed at their best, and many other contenders who shouldn't be underestimated.

Well, this will get even more interesting. The same goes for the players. At least, for now, Europe's top players are also competing for the top scorer, and Mbappé is still ahead of several other top players with 5 goals.

Each team has its own belief and confidence in lifting the trophy. PSG comes with greater confidence, having lifted the trophy last season, even though it was their first. And so too is Real Madrid, the reigning Champions League champions, having won the most Champions League trophies. So it's natural that this team is always a favorite every season to lift the trophy.

In the first round of the Champions League, Real Madrid was fortunate enough to be awarded two penalties, even though they ended the match with 10 men. Meanwhile, in the second round, despite securing a big win, it wasn't a particularly impressive victory, as the opponents they faced weren't strong enough; they should have won those matches.

The real challenge lies in the third and fourth rounds, as they face a top-tier Italian team and a top-tier English Premier League team, making these highly anticipated matches. Meanwhile, talking about K. Mbappe, his quality as Real Madrid's goal machine is no longer in doubt.

Barcelona has what it takes to win the champions League this season all they need is to keep performing well.

Yes, I actually didn't expect Barcelona to lose to PSG in this match. Because this match was held at Barcelona's home ground, so I was quite confident that Barcelona would definitely be able to beat PSG. But it turned out that Barcelona was the one who lost in this match. I also don't know for sure what the reason was, but what is clear is that it seems like Raphinha's absence really had a huge impact on Barcelona's front line. So that's why in this match Barcelona really struggled to score. Because perhaps one of their key players didn't play in this match.

But even so, I was really impressed with the game shown by Yamal in this match. Because he was really able to show great skills and he also often provided very accurate crosses. But unfortunately in this match no one was able to utilize Yamal's passes well, so maybe because of that, Barcelona lost this match. But even so, I am sure in the next match Barcelona will be able to get the full 3 points again. Because it seems like the team Barcelona will face in the upcoming match isn't a strong one. Therefore, I'm very confident Barcelona can win their upcoming Champions League match.

Do you guys see how Perez tries harder in merging UCL with Super League? My honest opinion is that i don't wanna see UCL to be merged with Super League. Just look at the picture, it shows how terrible the new proposal publishing by Perez. He wanted Madrid to played in the closed league similar to the what often did by US sports.
It's all only for his own benefit, and i hope this his proposal will never be approved by aleksander ceferin. It will be a disaster if it's happening.

[m4r1o]

Well, Chelsea still deserves praise. After all, just seeing them in the Champions League is strong evidence that this team has truly returned to being a strong team. And further proof is that Chelsea also won the Club World Cup. So, Chelsea is no longer a team to be underestimated.

And what's interesting about Chelsea is that this team previously received a lot of criticism for bringing in too many young players and continually releasing their senior players. Well, that was about two years ago, if I remember correctly. But since then, it turns out that this team has succeeded with their strategy of consistently acquiring young players. And now the results are starting to show.

It's been obvious for a while that it's returned to its former glory, but unfortunately, I have to say, it's still not very consistent with the results.
Of course there are positive and negative things about growth, the negative thing is precisely this
As you grow up it's hard to be consistent, but little by little they'll get there.

[banana33]

The match really surprised me. I never expected that Paris Saint-Germain would be able to steal 3 points from Barcelona. It was really unbelievable. We have always seen how strong Hansi Flick's team is at home. On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain lost their best XI, although Barcelona did not have the best XI either. Still, I think Barcelona was the best to win. But in the end, we saw how PSG won the match with confidence. Without a doubt, PSG is now in the list of the best.

i am not saying i expected it, but PSG played really well, they literally dominated the match, for better or worse they remain the strongest team in Europe at the moment, let's say a complete team that knows how to attack and defend effectively to neutralize enemy attackers, like Yamal.

I'm not saying Real Madrid should definitely win, there's a lot of randomness here, especially starting in the playoffs. But none of the teams you listed are any better than Real Madrid. Literally every team has had bad games or even losing streaks (like Liverpool), except Bayern, but Bayern has no competition in the Bundesliga and is not considered a top favourite in the Champions League.
As for the top scorer race, Mbappe has already scored a third of the number that would most likely guarantee the Golden Boot (15 goals), so he is the leading contender.

This is not what we want because it will kill the fun  in the season. UCL has been there for a very long time and shouldn't be merged with Super League. I know that such plans are based on a personal interest and not for the interest of football. I don't think that it will be approved because others will also share their own suggestions before coming to conclusions.

I'm personally quite disappointed with Barcelona. I thought Barcelona deserved to be the favorites in that match, as they were the home team. But the reality wasn't as sweet as expected. PSG actually managed to embarrass Barcelona in front of their own fans. And with this, Barcelona's journey in the UCL looks like it will be difficult. If they can't even beat PSG, then I'm no longer optimistic about Barcelona's UCL season. Perhaps Barcelona will continue the same path as last season, where they always failed to reach the final. They always stopped before they could get very far.

Lately Barcelona hasn't been playing like Barcelona if we're being honest.
There is perhaps a bit of tiredness starting to appear, but Barcelona remains the same, let's always remember what talents they have in the team, strong people like Yamal who I'm sure will make the difference

Mbappe has been a prolific scorer since time immemorial. He loves goals and goes for them. I am still very sure that if real Madrid makes it to the quarter finals, he must have already sealed up the top scorers spot before the semis. This current real Madrid is doing well but how they conceded 5 goals to 2 against Athletical Madrid in the laliga game is still what I can't tell. Well, that's football. Bayern Munich is a good team too and if I may say, I would suppose the tournament favours Bayern Munich and real Madrid alike. Barcelona to me doesn't stand any chance in this year's UCL even though I'm not disputing the fact that they have good talents. Kane too is a good scorer and could score more and more goals just like he's bullying the Bundesliga. For Gordon and Haaland, I know they will soon leave the competition so there's nothing to compete here. This year's UCL would record more goals per game than last season from the look of these young lads.

What I had in mind when they were defeated was that the opposing team had successfully implemented a sound strategy, effectively countering Barcelona's strengths, in this case Paris Saint-Germain.

We can see this from Paris Saint-Germain's play, as they managed to remain calm after falling behind early. Conversely, Barcelona seemed under pressure, having to meet the public's expectations, especially as they were playing at home.

Paris Saint-Germain's success lies in their calm and carefree approach, allowing them to achieve what they set out to achieve.

I hope so. This stupid idea must be stopped by Perez. He's willing to kill the small clubs to for his club's benefit in the european competitions. Damn how gree this old guy is. UEFA must not be dumb enough being fooled by him, or it's gonna be the end of UCL.

You’re right bacelona has not been showing that same active and vibrant pressure as the used to, they have not been dominating well like other seasons. Their coordination feels very off lately, and the spark seems to fade too easily during tough matches. But just like you said, we cannot overlook the talent in the squad. Players like Yamal bring a lot of promise and can turn things around if he is given the right support and guidance. Most at, times all it takes is one unbelievable performance to bring back that winning energy.

[bitcoin_mining]

Barcelona is one of the best club in Laliga and such a team is not a developing team because they have quality young players. Losing to PSG doesn't mean that they are poor in performance or struggling. PSG was better than them which was the cause of their defeat by PSG. Mendes was the player that disrupted Barcelona plans.

They certainly are not a bad team, they are considerably the best team to win the champions league this season, together with Bayern Munich but, their game against PSG was poorly managed. They kept allowing PSG to find that pocket of spaces. This is what they do to other teams but in this encounter, they were equally matched and there was little they could do defensively to stop PSG from finding those one on one chances with the goalkeeper.

Barcelona players never saw that defeat coming from PSG not when they were incomplete due to injuries but they still defeated Barcelona in front of their fans it's not a good thing for a team like Barcelona but this is football that Barcelona lost doesn't mean they are not a good team they wasn't in their best and the result will teach them a better lesson which they will use to win their other games. Barcelona has what it takes to win the champions League this season all they need is to keep performing well.

You can never compare the current team with the previous team, before Luis Enrique came to the team, PSG was an incomplete team but now PSG is a self-sufficient team and this team can defeat any opponent. If you say that Barcelona lost to PSG because some players could not play due to injury, then I will not accept it because many important players of PSG could not play due to injury, but PSG's performance did not stop there. One or two important players can always be injured, it is in the plan, but a manager has to decide. Luis Enrique has kept substitute players in the club, so if an important player gets injured, they can get a good performance from that player by playing a substitute player instead. If PSG faces Barcelona in any other match this season in the Champions League, I will be in favor of PSG and PSG will have a high chance of winning.

Having PSG, Barcelona,Real Madrid and Liverpool contending at the top of the champions league makes it very interesting, well PSG is putting the effort and hopefully they have the chance defend the trophy but Real Madrid has their eyes so well on the trophy aswell and seeing the top scorer is a Madrid player who is aiming at winning the champions league. Bayern for me may not really get the chance to win the champions league because they may not have experience enough but hopefully they will go beyond the knock out stage.
