UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[SatoPrincess]

There are always ups and downs for even top teams in the world. Liverpool are also having a time just like that these days...

3 losses in a row including the Premier League is just worrying statistics for Liverpool fans of course. I don't think they were glad with their team performance earlier either.

Let's see how much progress Arne Slot will make after international break. There is still a long road ahead in the Champions League too. 

Yeah there is still a long road to go in the season, these things about losing games and form for players and teams happens. What matters is how quickly they can are able to turn the situation around to do better. Hopefully the break will help the team recover and reorganize themselves and return stronger and better.

Real Madrid has a fearful experience when it comes to the Champions League, as demonstrated by the number of times they have won this competition.
They are certainly one of the serious contenders for the title every year, they are not an easy team to face, let alone defeat.
perhaps only PSG can rest easy versus Real Madrid

In fact, PSG also cannot be calm when facing Real Madrid in the Champions League. Because, regardless of Real Madrid's current condition, the team is still considered a very serious opponent in the Champions League competition. So, there's no such thing as being calm or underestimating any team when it comes to the Champions League, because often the team that is underestimated or feels calm when facing them is the team that can pull off the biggest surprise in the Champions League.

The rivalry between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain is always a competitive one. Real Madrid's rivalry with Milan has now become a rivalry with Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain has become one of Europe's biggest teams, and Real Madrid, a team that has always valued and cherished rivalry, is naturally in competition with them. Let's see who emerges victorious this year.

Well, the thing which impacts the team performance so badly is injuries, and right now Barcelona is struggling with injuries suspect. So many of their key players has been ruled out, and honestly because of this Barcelona were failed to win against PSG and well as failed to win against Sevilla....

Injuries are a normal part of football — they create opportunities for other players to shine (like Ferran). There's always something to discuss when it comes to injuries: pushing your body to the limit, too many games causing fatigue, and so on. But injuries aren't something to cry about when they happen — it's just part of the game, a matter of luck.

PSG also had many injuries before the Barca game, but no one really noticed a drop in their performance. That’s because you need to have a full squad of 20 players ready to step in — not just rely on 12 or 13.

Real Madrid's performance this season can be said to be quite good under Xabi Alanso; at least, Real Madrid now has a system. The mistakes made against Atletico Madrid will certainly be continuously evaluated by Xabi for the next match. In my opinion, Real Madrid's current weakness isn't the front line or midfield, but rather the back line, as there are many injuries.

They could definitely do better, given how good they are, without a doubt, is in their way of playing. They're currently first, so I want say anything better would be a dream. Meanwhile, as usual, Real Madrid and Barcelona are separating themselves from the rest of the group.

But injuries aren't something to cry about when they happen — it's just part of the game, a matter of luck.

If an injury occurs at a crucial moment for an important match, both the player and the team will definitely feel the pressure. It's not just about whether a regular injury happens to a player or not, but if the player does not maintain their fitness and tends to get injured frequently, likely their career will also not be good. Especially if it is a serious injury that requires the player to endure a long recovery period. Returning to their best performance will be difficult. 
Coaches indeed must pay attention to the quality of players in the main squad and the substitutes. It is important to perform rotations so that players remain in good condition and other players also get playing time.

When we compare this season to the last one, Cubarsi is playing noticeably worse. He’s made a few mistakes that have cost the team goals. I agree that the defense is weak, but the attack isn’t as strong as it used to be either. I hope this is just a temporary dip in form, as that can happen. Rashford has taken his role very seriously and has been performing excellently since he arrived.

Yes, you are right. Barcelona players have been playing very badly recently, the main reason for this is their form. Last season they were great, because every player was in form. This season, from the back line to the front line, everyone is out of form. As a result, the Barca team is not showing the same performance as last season. However, this out of form is definitely temporary, when Lamine Yamal and Rafinha return to their best rhythm, we will see Barca's attacking play again. There is no problem with the Barca team, their out of form is the main reason for their failure.

Injuries and poor form are having a significant impact on Barcelona. Raphinha and Yamal, who played a significant role in last year's title victory, are particularly affected when Barcelona loses form. Therefore, these players mean a great deal to Barcelona. The most frightening scenario for Barcelona is if these players suffer a long-term injury. Even if they miss a few matches, Barcelona are ineffective in scoring.

Injuries are a normal thing in football but the manager has to plan ahead and keep good players on the bench so that if an important player gets injured the club gets good performance from the bench players as a replacement.

Injuries cannot be blamed for Barcelona's defeat because when Barcelona lost against PSG, several players from the PSG team were not in the team because they had injury problems but still PSG did well against Barcelona and secured the victory. Barcelona is a much stronger team compared to Sevilla so even if Barcelona had several players injured Barcelona should have won against Sevilla but they lost there too. Last season Barcelona maintained their good performance in La Liga but their good performance was not in the Champions League because they lost to Inter Milan and were eliminated from the Champions League. 

It will be difficult for Barcelona to do as well in the Champions League this season as they did last season.

PSG didn’t play with four starting players because of injuries, as i mentioned. But if those four players had been available to Luis Enrique, would it have been a convincing win for PSG? Barcelona is in poor form, and the fans have to accept that, but poor form is temporary the question now is, how long will it last...

Well that's true. No team can be underestimated in the Champions League. Because all the teams that have managed to get tickets to the Champions League are teams that have fought hard and are one of the best in their respective leagues. Especially when we're talking about Real Madrid. Even at their worst, this team cannot be underestimated. Moreover, at the moment I think Real Madrid are still quite strong and consistent even though there are some of their defenders who are now injured again.

But we must admit that PSG is currently one of the most solid teams in the Champions League. The good performance they have had since last season they can still maintain until now. And I think the coach that PSG currently has really knows how to take advantage of the strengths of the players PSG currently has. So that the PSG team is always able to perform optimally.

I don't think PSG is the only team that can't keep their cool when facing Real Madrid, other teams are too. Real Madrid is a great team, one of the strongest contenders to win the Champions League trophy. So, when a team like PSG meets them, they assume Real Madrid is a formidable opponent and will need to play seriously to beat them.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is also very strong, with a top-notch squad and a well-thought-out strategy that makes them unpredictable on the pitch... and that makes any opponent a little nervous when facing them in the Champions League.

Bayern Munich is currently in a very good form in the Champions League, and Liverpool suffered an unexpected early defeat. Galatasaray's defeat has shaken Liverpool's position in the Champions League. Liverpool is no longer considered invincible. This makes the Champions League even more exciting. Watching Liverpool play will now become even more entertaining.

I never expected that they could have a rough play for a start in this manner, but i know Liverpool wasn't the only in the league to suffer the same humiliation, maybe we could see them perform more better if its never too late coming matches ahead of them, but for now, we cant be confident in them, though the beginning does not justify the end, things could change, but i only hope it shouldn't have been too late before then.

Inter Milan played in the Champions League final last season, but they didn't have to work hard to qualify for the final. PSG qualified for the Champions League final by performing against big teams and they defeated Inter Milan by a big margin in the final. I don't think Inter Milan played as well as they did last season. Inter Milan will have to work much harder to play the Champions League semi-finals this season than they did last season. Still, there is nothing to underestimate this team in the Italian league, it may be that they are not doing well in the local league, but they are planning well in every match of the Champions League and they are performing well in every match.

Last season, Inter Milan's biggest obstacle to reaching the final was Barcelona, ​​so they were able to overcome that obstacle and I think they were quite lucky in that match. The last matches of last season were completely unexpected, PSG reaching the final and winning the title, Barcelona losing to Inter Milan and Real Madrid losing to Arsenal.
PSG have become a strong team since the Champions League final, but Inter Milan are struggling to beat them. They are not a very dangerous team this season, but they are stronger in the Champions League than in their domestic league. I can't predict their future in the Champions League yet.

It would be wrong to say that PSG has become a strong team since winning the Champions League title because they were already strong, if they could not perform well from the beginning of the season, then they would never have been champions in an important tournament like the Champions League. The final match of the Champions League was not a difficult obstacle for PSG, rather the semi-final and quarter-final matches were the biggest obstacles for PSG and PSG overcame those obstacles and reached the final. I don't know why Inter Milan's performance has been so bad since the Champions League.

At the beginning of the season in the Italian league, we did not see Inter Milan in a good position at all, but gradually they started to come up to the top of the points table. They need to get back to a consistent performance very quickly, if they perform poorly in a few more matches, it will be difficult for them to be between number one and number four in the points table.

..Let see how Madrid will fare this season in the champions League because, Madrid performance last were not too good Madrid is a team that is one of the top contenders in the champions League with the new coach and tactics that has been introduced in the Madrid team I see Madrid doing well the final should be the target of Madrid this season.

Real Madrid has a fearful experience when it comes to the Champions League, as demonstrated by the number of times they have won this competition.
They are certainly one of the serious contenders for the title every year, they are not an easy team to face, let alone defeat.
perhaps only PSG can rest easy versus Real Madrid

This is only the group stage of the competition, we cannot tell any team based on their performance in the group stage to determine who is a strong contender for the trophy. Remember last season, PSG struggled in the group stage and ended up in the playoffs, but they still won the trophy despite the fact that we didn't consider them serious title contenders. Furthermore, all of the top teams are now winning their games.

Real Madrid isn't the same club that we can count on to defeat any opponent this season, they're playing well, but their defense is a little weak, and they're also disappointing, if PSG face Real Madrid again this season, I am confident that they won't have the same performance as they did in the FIFA Club World Cup, we can see different challenges, and PSG will need to tighten their belts playing with this squad.

Of course, even though Real Madrid is in an unstable state and is experiencing a decline, they have enough history and strength if they return to their best performance with the players they currently have. It is natural that the opposing team always trembles when facing Real Madrid. They must have thorough preparation to face Real Madrid. They are unpredictable now even though we doubt them. Underestimating them is a stupid act in facing an enemy. The Champions League is a very competitive league, all the best teams from their respective leagues. They have a strong reason to compete in the Champions League.

Yeah there is still a long road to go in the season, these things about losing games and form for players and teams happens. What matters is how quickly they can are able to turn the situation around to do better. Hopefully the break will help the team recover and reorganize themselves and return stronger and better.

That is one good thing about international breaks they can help a struggling team have time to re strategize and  get better hopefully. Liverpool have been struggling for about 3 games losing games back to back so this break can actually reset their performance and go back to winning ways.

Salah have found the back of the net for his country so hopefully he will bring that form back after the international break, he has been struggling to score goals this season as he used to and misused a lot of chances. Losing to Galatasaray means they have to win their next game by any means possible and get back to winning ways.

Bayern Munich is currently in a very good form in the Champions League, and Liverpool suffered an unexpected early defeat. Galatasaray's defeat has shaken Liverpool's position in the Champions League. Liverpool is no longer considered invincible. This makes the Champions League even more exciting. Watching Liverpool play will now become even more entertaining.

Exactly Bayern Munich are really in a good shap this season and with how they are playing they will be favourite to win the Champions League but anything can probably possibly because they have not really played with  my big club yet in the Champions League is only Chelsea but they are really doing very great in the Bundesliga competition. Liverpool have failed to defeat Galatasaray and they lose three point in the competition and still failed to win Chelsea in the Premier League competition, that we make them perform weak and they are not that good to achieve the ucl this season.

Champions League is a big competition and any club in the competition are here to win the Champions League trophy no any club want to lose any point. I don't think Liverpool can win any tough trophies this season with how they are playing currently. They need to try and have some more defence in the team but all there goals are to buying strikers that will be scoring always and there defence is already linking and easy for the opponent to scored.

Because finances on football changed, between oil money for some teams, and huge earnings for some big name clubs, we are talking about half a dozen teams that are at least ten times bigger than those smaller teams, and that's why they can buy all the good players everywhere and they win. That's how we are going to see them win, and smaller teams has no chance.

Football is very full of money these days and the players are paid way too much, is a disproportionate amount and something like this is not good at all.
we are reaching a level of degeneration, with a match every 2 days
How long can something like this last?

I believe Liverpool problem or predicament now is Coach and it is not that the coach they have now is a bad coach but the problem is that I think he has not really understand the players that well. Klopp build Liverpool to a very good extent that it is always hard or difficult to win Liverpool but immediately he left the foundation he lay began to shake and I have come to discover that it is always difficult most times to start managing a club that another person has built well because mentality and pattern differs with persons.

That's right. Real Madrid's performance is improving, especially as they play collectively and have a system in place. However Real Madrid hasn't been fully tested against big or strong teams. This was evident in Xabi's crushing defeat against Atletico Madrid in La Liga. Xabi Alanso has many things to improve on within the team especially finding a strong lineup to face strong teams especially tough opponents in UCL.

Xabi's strategy will be tested against Juventus and Liverpool in the next UCL matches. We must assess Real Madrid's performance in these two matches. If Real Madrid can get through these matches with positive results, I predict Real Madrid's progress this season will go even further, even reaching the final. However if they lose these two matches, it means Xabi's strategy this season hasn't been optimal. His strategy only works against weaker teams, but he loses against stronger teams. I'm also curious about Real Madrid's journey in the UCL this season.

This was evident in Xabi's crushing defeat against Atletico Madrid in La Liga. Xabi Alanso has many things to improve on within the team especially finding a strong lineup to face strong teams especially tough opponents in UCL.

Xabi Alonso changed Real Madrid from tactics to attitude of star players like Mbappe and Vinicius Junior who was requested and forced to run more and contribute more for proactive defense. They no longer have privileges of observing their teammates to do defense while they don't contribute anything for it. Xabi Alonso changed Mbappe and Vinicius Junior like how Enrique changed Dembele in PSG in the last season.

Xabi's strategy will be tested against Juventus and Liverpool in the next UCL matches. We must assess Real Madrid's performance in these two matches. If Real Madrid can get through these matches with positive results, I predict Real Madrid's progress this season will go even further, even reaching the final. However if they lose these two matches, it means Xabi's strategy this season hasn't been optimal. His strategy only works against weaker teams, but he loses against stronger teams. I'm also curious about Real Madrid's journey in the UCL this season.

To win UEFA Champions League title, Real Madrid must beat many strong opponents and Juventus, Liverpool are only two of many opponents along their pathway to the title. There are even stronger opponents than Liverpool and Juventus will possibly meet Real Madrid in knock out matches coming months.

Klopp build Liverpool to a very good extent that it is always hard or difficult to win Liverpool but immediately he left the foundation he lay began to shake and I have come to discover that it is always difficult most times to start managing a club that another person has built well because mentality and pattern differs with persons.

Wait, he hasn't understood the players that well? Wasn't it almost same players he used last season in winning the league! He added his own players with the ones he inherited last season. For me, I don't think it's him not being able to understand the players, I think the team is undergoing a transition time, new players and old players, if I'm not mistaken Liverpool added more than 5 players to their ranks into the first team and they will need some time to start functioning as a unit.
