UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Fuso.hp]

This new season's champions league will be tough and I doubt that those clubs who where able to make it into the semi's would get such a chance. Clubs like Arsenal would have to work extra hard if they hope to see even the quarter finals, that's why when they had their chance when they met PSG they should have taken it. Imagine Luis Enrique not including the Gunners as one the clubs to pose a headache to them in their journey to winning the title but rather mentioned the likes of Liverpool and Aston Villa.

The four teams that have played in the semi-finals this season may not see the maximum teams of these four teams in the semi-finals of the Champions League next season. Just as Manchester City performed poorly this season, another team qualified for the semi-finals in place of Manchester City, similarly, Real Madrid, which has performed well regularly, could not play the semi-finals this season due to poor performance, as a result of which another club played in the semi-finals in place of Real Madrid. So when these strong teams perform well and secure the semi-finals next season, it will be difficult for other teams to fight for the semi-finals. Although I cannot say much about how the other teams will perform, I will at least say this much about Real Madrid that Real Madrid will come back more fiercely next season and they will play the semi-finals or the final in the Champions League in any way.

yes these are teams that can always do well, it is normal to always have them among the best, they are teams that do nothing but repeat themselves every year to see who is the best, this is what makes these teams incredible, Real Madrid, is one of those teams that will surprise us again this year

[Altryist]

Here are some early odds:



Most of them are understandable, but the ones I have problems with:
- Arsenal, way too low in my opinion

Seeing Arsenal always being on the top three of outright odds of UCL is totally a non sense thing. They never won anything, but kinda weird they have 8.00. I'd rather replace them with City. It's also criminal when PSG is also having the same odds as Arsenal.

I suspect that such odds are set by the bookmaker based on UEFA rankings and some other statistical indicators. If you do not like their rankings, you can simply ignore them. If you believe that City and PSG have a better chance to win the Champions League, then you can just place a bet on those teams and get higher odds.
I also do not fully agree that Arsenal and Liverpool are rated so highly, but on the other hand, these are the teams that have shown good progress in recent seasons, and for example City had a serious decline in their performance. So maybe there is some logic in this as well.

[Cossyblack]

I don’t  have any problem with Arsenal odds matchin ng that of PSG..no qulams from my side.

What makes you think Arsenal will have the same chance as PSG next season? Other than Zubmendi, have they secured other signings? I remember reading their interest in Gyokeres. I'm not sure if a new striker and a new CDM are good enough to go against PSG next season, though, especially with the way they played right now. If anything, I'm surprised PSG is not the favourite. I guess it weighs transfer rumors and whatnot more compared to past performance.

Lolz...let Arsenal win EPL first before the can think of winning UCL. I don't know why when we are talking about clubs to win the next UCL, Arsenal fans will always say that they are capable of winning when we know that they are only dreaming and don't have what it takes to win UCL. Of course, PSG cannot be the favorite to win the Champions League next season because other strong clubs will be eager to win it next season.

Real Madrid have won the UEFA Chiampions league back to back and you think PSG cannot achieve the same or even achieve more than that by breaking the records . I used to underestimate PSG ability outside their home Ligue 1 but after their encounters with Inter Milian in the Just concluded Chiampions league final,with the kind of performance I saw in that match from the PSG team,I am more convince than PSG can still win the Next UEFA Chiampions league. The most important thing to look out for is there performance and I am 100% sure that if PSG can put up more performance than this,no club can be an hindrance or obstacle in their way to become the next Chiampions of the UEFA. Don't Underestimate PSG,they have what it takes to win the trophy again next season

The fact that PSG won the champions League final this past season is not a guarantee that they will or they are going to win it again just like what happened to Manchester city after they won the champions League final the next season they were unable to play even semi finals.so the same may happen to PSG, I believe this your comment of comparing PSG and real Madrid is because of the poor performance of inter Milan at the champions league final.I think as long as champions League is concerned no team has won it more than real Madrid so comparing PSG that is just winning it for the first time with real Madrid is not it at all because the gap is really much. So the fact that they were able to defeat inter Milan doesn't mean that if they were to play with another team that would definitely defeat them in same manner.Is just that people were thinking that inter Milan is good and because of that they were over rated to be in good form which they were not.

It's a big achievement for PSG to win their first ever UEFA title and become the second french team to grab that title. There are cases where teams have won back to back titles and also there are scenarios where defending champion is eliminated in initial stages. It's because new season is a new beginning for every team and the one who overcome mistakes in previous season either wins the title or finishes at last stages of the season. For now PSG team and fans can celebrate the win while teams like Milan, Barcelona may sit back and review what actually went wrong in the last season.

I am convinced that Barcelona will stay the same and most important players there as far as I know willingly extended their contracts and they don't have too many good reasons to leave as they already play in a highly attractive league.

This leads me to the question whether PSG will be looking the same next season or whether they will get some serious offers for their top players now?

Kwarazchelia didn't go unnoticed and there will at least be some tries to change his mind. PSG is of course not dependent on any players sales and that makes it interesting for the players themselves because instead of asking a high transfer fee, PSG is able any time to increase salaries and this is one of two leverages that other clubs from the PL have. Higher salaries, which PSG can match, and a stronger league, which PSG cannot do anything about.

Top teams had enough space which give them good advantage as they are able to keep their momentum Barcelona is one of the team which is doing impressive job and have enough quality and consistency as fans can expect they could be on same level for next season.

Even few teams are going to have some good changes which will make things interested and surprises are always part of soccer but now many eyes on few teams which will be had good chance in coming season PSG is having good balance with the best thing happen Luis Enrique is having balanced side without depended on one or two players. Now in upcoming season their performance and quality will be watchable because they are heading for new era which need more than current season and keeping consistency after achieving this historic success is surely going to be challengeable for them.

[YOSHIE]

we can start the speculations and what will be our favorite teams for next season
What do you think about it?

Yes, interesting to talk about the UEFA 2025-26 Champions League, this is the 71st season soccer tournament between clubs, especially Europe, you have Mentioning three winning clubs from 22/23-24/25 PSG have done their best for this season.

Because the qualifying round of the first round took place on 8-9 July 2025 and the second match 15-16 July, so there was still a long discussion for the gori of the favorite team, Maybe I will update at the time of the struggle for the place
The knockout round which is scheduled for 17-18 February 2026 after that I just determined my favorite team.

[doomloop]

Juventus doesn't have what It takes to compete favorably in the champions League because they are still in a building phase of the team after their golden generation faded away Juventus should concentrate on getting a team that can compete in the Italian seria A first before planning of competing in Europe because the fact is that the game between Juventus and other teams in the champions League is big so for now Juventus can't make it to even the quatre finals of the the champions League

Juventus is one of the miserable clubs in Serie A even they are now on improvement but still things are not predictable for their performance in coming season because they are having always on and off the field issues which create problems for them. In this season, they ended on 4th sot which is good but still things are not as they needed for having better results at the top level they needed something extraordinary for having things on balance because still they are not consistent which give them better results at the top level.

Serie A had few good teams with still it's never been easy for Juventus to fight hard for top spots in any event because they are lacking competitive squad and good depth in players which is important for players to have better results any prediction is not easy which team can go through, but they are not near for having top spots.

Never say Never with PSG. The club president confirmed his side has the burning desire to win the Champions League Competition next season. They have also started adding vital players to the squad. I don't know what's coming but I want to see how they eventually performs in the club world cup. Arsenal are pretty good side, but they lacked a proper number nine. I wouldn't say it bad to dream but as you've said, they should show workings by winning the EPL first.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I wasn't expecting the new season thread this early.    I can just give you one recommendation here. You can add a poll for the Champions League winner to get general opinion if you'd like.

It's going to be exciting to see my team Galatasaray in the CL league phase for the first time. We were in the EL last season and it didn't have a very good ending. I hope we manage to qualify for playoffs after league phase.

You know, seeing PSG is in the same place as Arsenal is weird. I might accept if they being compared to the City or any clubs that have ever won UCL, but this, Arsenal!!!!. The hell is wrong with it.

As for PSG to win the next UCL, there chance is there. They have oil's money, they have good coach, they have talented players, they have everything needed to perform as good as what they do this time. I'd not surprise if they can go to the semi final easily next season.

This season, Galatasaray from Türkiye will directly participate in the league stage of the Champions League.

Fenerbahçe will play 2 pre-qualifier rounds and will participate if they win these matches, Fenerbahçe needs to prepare very well for this season and new transfers are a must for the team.
Some players have already parted ways. Tadic and Dzeko

Having Gala playing the champions league would be a great joy for the fans and all thanks to the big man Osimhen who helped the team to win the Turkish league, now that his loan spell has come to an end I wish for Galatasaray to get someone as sharp as him to continue from where the Napoli forward stopped. Fenerbahçe playing to qualify for the champions league is going to be difficult since some of their best players have left, it would be nice to introduce some fresh legs especially in the attack and the midfield, I think their defense is a bit solid, not that bad. Qualifying for the champions league isn't the problem, the main problem is going far and not to be wasting points, same goes to Galatasaray too, wish them both luck.

Osimhen has not yet made a final decision on the transfer, he is still in Türkiye despite the league ending. His older brother mentioned to an announcer that Osimhen could stay.

Fenerbahçe's best defense player Milan Škriniar parted ways, he was a loan player and returned to PSG. At least 5 transfers are needed for the team right now, they also need to get good players in defense. If Fenerbahçe really wants to compete here, they need to restructure the team.

I know he hasn't and what ever his brother said that he could or could not I'll still see it as a rumor until it is official. Playing at Turkey for Galatasaray changed the way I use to see this player, he has become more deadlier than he used to be. Napoli should be regretting letting this guy to go because this is the moment they need him the most, qualifying for Champions League next season comes with bigger challenges for the club and they need to build their team to be more stronger than we saw at this concluded season, as champions of Serie A they need to act as title contenders to defend their title not like they did before when they won the league and couldn't get a Champions League spot.
For Fenerbahçe I believe the team can be transformed just as Galatasaray are planning, they won't want Galatasaray to dominate them again next season in all competition they in, so getting new striker and midfielders who can make life a living hell just like Vitinha at PSG would be a great addition

But why did he and his team not want to win it once more? Or twice or 100 times? There isn't a team that stops because it wins the title one time.
As of now, the only transfer news is regarding the removal of players from their roster, not the addition of new ones. Attackers Lee Kang-in and Goncalo Ramos reported that they were informed by the PSG management to search for a new team, and that they are allowed to leave. However, it's 100% sure that we will see additions.

I wasn't expecting the new season thread this early. 

Me neither!

I think many Gunners stakes their money in order to make their teams looks strong.

Arsenal only win in terms of playing in Premier League, many medias and people are over proud with Premier League and underestimate other leagues. I even surprised Chelsea and Newcastle have higher chance to win rather than Inter, that's a disrespect to Italian team.

Arsenal can survive to knockout is already a good achievement lol.

I don't think it's easy as you think, because we have seen a lot of clubs winning UCL and couldn't defend it in the next season. City won it last two seasons and they still have all the players and funds to win it last season but Madeid won it. Madrid won it last season and signed Mbappe into the club to strengthen their striking force and everyone believed that they will win the Champions again this season to the point that Florentino Pérez Rodríguez bragged that since they have Mbappe, Madrid will win the league for the 16th time this season. How did it ended.

Yes, it could happen again because nothing is impossible in the world of football because of the strong reasons that have been proven by PSG this season that it is not impossible that next season Luis Enrique's troops will be much better because he is a genius coach who is able to play tactics and strategies against opposing teams that have advantages and is able to make opposing teams that have advantages unable to move. But what is certain is that next season will be a much better season and full of challenges for all clubs that qualify for the Champions League next season and most likely PSG will be the strongest candidate to become the defending champion.

Here are some early odds:



Most of them are understandable, but the ones I have problems with:
- Arsenal, way too low in my opinion
- Real should trade places with Barcelona
- Newcastle should be way over in the 40 area

Also, the only bookie that offers betting on the nationality of the winner has England at 1.8, again, way to low compared to Spain at 4.5

Liverpool is favorite? Complete bs. I'd like to know the basis for what? Winning the farm league, where City fizzled out? Everything else is +- ok, although how is Arsenal better than Bayern? Nothing.
For preliminary estimates it looks quite normal, although of course you can find many shortcomings. Now I am too lazy to do calculations, but I am sure that in any case the margin here at bookmakers is huge. In their place (taking into account the margin) I would give more even quotes.

- Newcastle should be way over in the 40 area

Actually, for the fact that Arsenal could not reach the Champions League finals this season, they deserve a more higher odd because i don't think they can have same opportunity to reach the semi final next season, not to talk of winning the Champions League, they are far from it.

Despite that Barcelona outperformed Real Madrid this season, i still feel Real Madrid will be more balanced and prepared ahead of the Champions League games next season and i don't think having a lower odd is a problem as compared to Barcelona. Though the odds will probably change when the Champions League season starts.

Newcastle qualified for the Champions League games two seasons ago and now they have also qualified for the Champions League next season. Why do you think they should have been given 40 odds above? Even if their chances are rare, anything can happen. Perhaps, if a team like Nottingham Forest could get 2 Champions League title even though it's been over 40 years they won it when the Champions League was still named the European Cup, Newcastle can still come up with a surprise.

Also, the only bookie that offers betting on the nationality of the winner has England at 1.8, again, way to low compared to Spain at 4.5

England has 6 teams in the Champions League, what do you expect of the bookies. It will be hard for all to be eliminated without reaching the finals so the odd isn't too low from my own perspective.

Spain has 5  Between 5 and 6 the difference is not as big as between 1.8 and 4.5, right? Even taking into account the fact that Chelsea is conditionally stronger than Athletic or Villarreal. In general, I would say that the Real - Atletico - Barcelona trio is in no way weaker than the Liverpool - Arsenal - City trio. In general, these odds are just another distorted odds of bookmakers which overestimate the farm league.
