UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

I know Guardiola can change their narrative this season, but no matter what, they will not be among the favorites to win the trophy this season, which was my main point. Manchester City’s performance is declining every day, and although I also want them to bounce back, it seems like this season, bouncing back will be much harder than in previous seasons. So, it will not be as easy as we all thought it would be for them. Manchester City will have to do more.

Besides Manchester City, who have already shown a decline in their form and performance this season, the progress of other teams is also a significant obstacle for Manchester City this season. Because when other teams start to look much better, that's when Manchester City's decline becomes more apparent. However, I still believe that with Guardiola's experience and ability to build a better team, Manchester City won't slump further this season, even though they aren't among the favorites to win the Champions League.

That makes sense, because while other teams are improving, they're actually declining, making them unable to keep up with the constant competition. In the Champions League, everything is tight; if a team can't match the strengths of the other teams, they'll be eliminated quickly. Luck is also hard to come by here, as all teams are more cautious than ever to achieve maximum results.

But do they still have a chance to compete? The answer is yes, provided they can improve quickly. There's not much time left, with only a few matches remaining in this league round.

But do they still have a chance to compete? The answer is yes, provided they can improve quickly. There's not much time left, with only a few matches remaining in this league round.

The key is each team's remaining match quota, as dropping just one or two matches can be devastating. Therefore, maintaining consistent performance is crucial. This is the first round, where each team is vying for their ideal position in the standings. Especially in the round of 16, it's crucial to play at maximum strength.

Paris Saint-Germain is the better team right now. They have players who play very well together and know themselves very well. Barcelona is also very good, but a single injury disrupts the team's entire dynamic. This is the biggest problem with the game. Paris Saint-Germain can compensate for even their missing players, while Barcelona can't match their performance with their substitutes. This is the biggest problem for Barcelona, ​​because during a long season, injured players can cause the team to drop many points.

Your arguments about PSG vs FC Barcelona are great, no doubt! However I think there are a few more things to look at here. It is true that PSG are a very deep &  strong team on paper however lets not forget that they also have their own injury headaches, you know Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembele are still out of the team.

On the other hand, Barcelona are still missing about 8   key players, including prominant players like Gavi &  Marc Andre ter Stegen. As a result their squad depth is seriously weakened.

So yeah PSG may have the edge in squad &  acceleration. However both teams are very weak due to Barcelonas major injuries. So I would say it is clearly not about PSG being better at all, but rather who will handle this crisis better, that is the real bet imo

As we know the competition in the Champions League is fierce, with the top teams trying to match the strengths of the teams they will face.
Maintaining consistent wins is crucial as the match to the quarter-finals is fast approaching. The only way they can achieve this is to maintain their performance and consistently win every remaining match.

This is why some big teams will rather relinquish their domestic league performance for this, because for them, it is typical that they place priorities on the Champions League and believe they can always find a way around  their domestic league and still ascend the table top even after they must have had to loose some point s back in their domestic league just to be rightly positioned in the champions league.

6 matches remaining in this qualifying round and Man City still has a big chance to win in this round, their opponents are not that tough including Villareal, Leverkusen, FK Bodø, Galatasaray, and the tough teams that Man City will face are Dortmund and Real Madrid, I think it is very important to beat those 4 teams, while the big homework is to conquer Dortmund and also Madrid, this is not easy and very difficult to predict.

So, it will not be as easy as we all thought it would be for them. Manchester City will have to do more.

In my opinion, its think too soon appointed Manchester City will failure in Champion League after disappointed result last games when held to draw by AS Monaco. Have six matches left for phase league round and Manchester City opportunity qualifying directly to knock out round still wide open and Pep Guardiola as smart manager with much experienced how to play well at crucial match. Upcoming match against Villareal I think Manchester City will bounce back and securing three points to defend their top standings position get easily qualifying to knock out round.

Few minutes ago, Manchester City back to top performed after winning from Everton at premier league, its make confidence will get good result achievement at Champion League matchday 3 when facing Villareal. No doubt for Pep Guardiola will make Manchester City will achieve victory with a fairly convincing score.

You can’t be so sure of what you’re saying. This is football and anything can happen at anytime. Manchester City use to be one of the favorites for the champions league title as long as they’re not eliminated during the corse of the competition. Pep Guardiola is a very smart manager, we may see him not performing to the best now, but when it’s almost time for them to show their true self, you’ll see them succeed to the next round of the competition. Manchester City is still a team to fear because they’re also another major contender for the UCL this season.

The injury problems of last season really became a real nightmare for Real Madrid, and because of that, Real Madrid failed in the Champions League and also in La Liga. But this season Real Madrid looks very different, they look very promising and their back line doesn't look as worrying as last season. So if only Real Madrid didn't face the same problem (injury crisis), I think they would have a good chance of winning a trophy this season.

Real Madrid is a very big name in the champions league and whenever they play in the competition, they have an high tendency of winning it. They play to their very best and have this high hopes in themselves that they own the trophy and they’ll still bring it home again. I love their big spirit of sportsmanship and togetherness when playing. Let no injury crisis come up as you said, they’re also major contender for the title.

Besides Manchester City, who have already shown a decline in their form and performance this season, the progress of other teams is also a significant obstacle for Manchester City this season.

I believe it is not always the problem of the coach sometimes it is due to the players too or the management. When it is the problem of the management, you will face issues like the one Manchester United is currently facing in my own judgement. I believe it is not the issue of the coach because Manchester United have tried to change its managers on few occasions yet it does not solve their problem. But in the case of Manchester City, you can say it is not the issues of the coach nor the management but just the players and the coach is already working on bringing everyone back to form which is the easiest problem to deal with among the others. The most difficult is the management because they are the ones who make the final decision and once they don't realize their problems, the problems continue to remain unsolved.

We must always find the right balance between the coach, the management, and the players. Everything must be balanced and everyone must play their part.
If everyone does their job well, things will go well, but I understand that this isn't always possible, human relationships are difficult to maintain.

There are limits despite everything being balanced sometimes and that is when the quality of the players is not on the same level of other teams. You can improvise and make up for a quality gap if you work harder, but there are barriers you can't overcome if your team is not good enough.

Manchester City delivered a very impressive victory over Everton in the domestic league today, with Haaland scoring twice. I'm confident that with the squad they have, and coached by Pep Guardiola, Manchester City will slowly improve and undergo gradual changes.

Not being a favorite to win the Champions League doesn't mean the team can't win the trophy. Here's the point. If you look closely, almost every season, the team favored at the start fails to advance to the final. Moreover with only two matches of the Champions League underway, it's still too early to judge the teams. The journey to the Champions League trophy is still very long, and every team will experience ups and downs.

Comparing Barcelona's last season form to this season, that of last season is very much better than the current season. Barcelona this season have lost consistency making it difficult to withstand opponents with a good attacking strength capable of capitalising of opponents weakness but can still come back to full fitness before the end of the season. Since the starting of the season, yamal have being faced with series of injures that serves as some of the reasons behind there weak performance.

Well, these things are normal in teams Barcelona is a team that will always be among the best and favorites , that's undeniable Injuries were something that was expected Yamal's situation is something else, because there have been problems with him It is said that he lives a lot with Niki Nicole and that for now they will have him on the bench as punishment, Hansi Flick is a coach who will always demonstrate his discipline.

[Amphenomenon]

But bad luck happened to Barcelona who couldn't recruit many good players because of their financial limitations, so if they experience a storm of injuries like this, the coach must think hard to balance the team performance without their mainstay players and that certainly makes Barcelona's performance not as strong as before.

As ironic as it seems it's part of the game and more teams will continue suffer from this even more after this recent systems of more matches, club and organisations are often considering profits and these players are going to worn out and some or many may not last long in their prime because of this.

I think they shouldn't pressure themselves but rather find a way to balance game time across players, cutting unnecessary extra time and even game time for some players to avoid them getting a more serious injuries.

Paris Saint-Germain is the better team right now. They have players who play very well together and know themselves very well. Barcelona is also very good, but a single injury disrupts the team's entire dynamic. This is the biggest problem with the game. Paris Saint-Germain can compensate for even their missing players, while Barcelona can't match their performance with their substitutes. This is the biggest problem for Barcelona, ​​because during a long season, injured players can cause the team to drop many points.

Injuries shouldn’t be a major excuse for any team now, injury is part of football as you won’t see it coming but it should be expected to come at anytime. This is why it is important to always go for the worst case scenario, don’t depend and build the team on one person or group of players. There should be plan B for injuries when they arise. At this era of football, injury shouldn't be a major cause of any poor form a team is exhibiting.

Besides Manchester City, who have already shown a decline in their form and performance this season, the progress of other teams is also a significant obstacle for Manchester City this season. Because when other teams start to look much better, that's when Manchester City's decline becomes more apparent. However, I still believe that with Guardiola's experience and ability to build a better team, Manchester City won't slump further this season, even though they aren't among the favorites to win the Champions League.

Anything can happen and the whole narrative can change for them, so we coming to conclusion about them going to end the season in a decline when compared to last season may just not be a strong point yet. They are a team with a lot of passion and zeal for the trophy, so they won’t relent just yet when the battle for the title is still in its early challenging state. Guardiola knows what’s at stake and he’s a long player in the game which makes him a team not to be underrated no matter what. I love how they’re playing, and I’m sure they’ll become better and are already on the verge of making it a success this season.

Every team no matter how good they are face a little bit of hard times and for some it can be injuries prone while others it can be due to other various reasons some even down to the particular type of tactics there are using. Barcelona is a strong team and hansi flick will get things right again with the club, I think what he needs to do now is to regroup and fix all the errors and space that might have possibly happened due to injury.

In essence, Manchester City performance has been below par, so I agree with not including them in the list of clubs likely to win trophies this season. The player transition is clearly evident, with Pep Guardiola admitting his disappointment with his new recruits, who are still taking a long time to fully adapt to his system.

They still have plenty of time to improve, and if they can achieve their ideal form, Manchester City deserves to be included in the list of clubs with a chance to win trophies.

Given Manchester City's performance so far, I don't think they're really that good of a favorite. They might even make it to the round of 16, or even beyond, but I doubt they can win the title. Manchester City's performance hasn't improved and they look the same as last season, so I don't think they will win anything this season unless there are significant changes.

Arsenal who representing the Premier League is a team well-established enough to be considered the favorite in the Champions League, but I also think Liverpool have something to rely on. Arsenal despite their failures in previous seasons, should have gained experience and are starting to find solutions for winning titles. So, we'll have to wait and see if they can do it or if they'll be the same as before.

If City clashes with PSG, they wouldn't survive it. I don't see City as a club that has the quality to win the Champions League this season. They're still struggling to pick form despite winning their recent matches. There's nothing like luck in UCL if you don't have an outstanding performance, you will be kicked out of the competition.

Honestly, Manchester City has quite good squad depth, but their performance hasn't been completely stable. Pep Guardiola is a very experienced manager, and he certainly understands his team priorities this season. I think winning the Premier League is much easier for Manchester City than the Champions League. PSG, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich have a higher chance than Manchester City, although it is not impossible for Pep Guardiola squad to win the Champions League trophy this season.

[irhact]

Manchester City delivered a very impressive victory over Everton in the domestic league today, with Haaland scoring twice. I'm confident that with the squad they have, and coached by Pep Guardiola, Manchester City will slowly improve and undergo gradual changes.

Manchester city are beginning to play as they once were and forgetting about an awful season they had last season. This season is going to be positive for them because they're beginning to get their rhythm back. Haaland has been on top form and that's going to continue in the champions league next week when they play their second game of the season. Pep Guardiola still need some improvement on his current team because no matter how well they're playing, it isn't that same Pep Guardiola team that used to dominate both the premier and champions league. The squad now don't put fear in other teams because they're not unbeatable anymore.
