UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[bitgolden]

Everybody knows that R. Lewandowski has performed excellently for Barcelona, but still it won't be a bad idea to sell him if they find his replacement. Julian Alvarez, in my opinion, will do the job well. R. Lewandowski performance this season shows that age has begun to affect his football ability because with the chances that were created for him this season, I don't expect any goal competition between him and Kylian Mbappe because Mbappe is always struggling creating chances for himself while other players are creating chances for Lewandowski. They need active striker like Alvarez it they want to keep to their performance.

I agree. Dude is 36 years old, very soon to be 37 years old in 2 months. So yeah, while he scored bunch of goals this season, how long could it even be going? We can't see him forever be scoring like this, it makes no sense and it would be near impossible. Either he is going to start being bad this season, or best case, the season after that.

So if they can find a Saudi club or something, and convince Lewa to leave, then they can sell him for a lot of money, which would be used to get someone else. Also, Lewandowski is the highest paid player in that team, sure he is also great, but can we really say that he is deserving of the highest amount of money? Makes no sense, he should be offered less. Whatever the end result is, I think he should be not this much weight on them.

PSG surprises everyone in the just concluded UEFA Champions League competition, and they can compete in the next UEFA Champions League competition that will start in a few months from now, but I doubt if PSG can make it to the final because the UEFA Champions League is a tough and difficult competition, and a lot of clubs will rise against PSG when the competition starts.

PSG is still competent enough to compete for UCL. There are two main materials needed in order to create a recipe how to win UCL. You need unlimited money, then combine it with a proper coach. It doesn't matter how competitive UCL. As long as they have this, they can win UCL again.

The history has told us about almost all of clubs were ever winning UCL came from the rich clubs. You can't deny this as it's also recorded in Wikipedia.  Kinda weird when you're doubting PSG's competence to compete for the next season.

[Dzwaafu11]

PSG are used to facing strong European teams. Previously, they failed, but now they have what they dreamed of. They have the Champions League trophy to show off.
The new season of course, with new strength. We can see how PSG was actually not good enough in the qualifying round this season, their luck was not good enough when they had to face strong teams from the start. But they managed to get through it.

Sure, because as of last season PSG was not that good in the group stage of champions league competition, they even got eliminated, and Arsenal defeated them last season. but it’s so unfortunate that Arsenal were not able to keep that same energy they did last season until the same PSG eliminated them from champions league this season that just ended.

PSG players and managers are very much consistent to win this Chmapions league and they were not afraid of any big club, they did extremely good to make this happen and they did.

They are not afraid of any big club and that is why I always said that  PSG is a team that any big club should be afraid when playing against them. I’m looking towards next season because next season is going to be tough, it’s obvious that many teams are signing new players to strengthen their team and their main mission is to get the champions league trophy next season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

You are right if only Barcelona were in the final maybe the entertainment would be much more exciting and at least could give PSG a worthy fight. But everything has happened and next season I hope the teams that will fight later can produce a fight that can meet our expectations. Believe me next season's candidates for the transformation of the top teams that continue to make improvements by recruiting new players are important notes for us to see the progress.

I am a totally Madridista person but I do agree with you that a PSG and Barcelona final would have been better, because I would have liked to see BARCELONA fall in the final and they would have kept quiet a bit, I think it would have been more painful, it's not that it's Machiavellian, it's that they thought they were invincible, however the best thing is what happens, Inter knocked them out and I think that there Inter played their last cards and left nothing for the final, PSG did have clear what they had to do.

This will be very hard to say for now because when the champions league kicked off last season, they were in no position seen as a major contender for the title but as time goes on, they rose against all odds and fought their way through to the final of the competition which in the end it ended in their favour. We should not start picking teams that will go far or not at this point now, a lot of matches needs to be played before that can be decided and I see those matches all going to be a tough one to also decide at this very early point.

PSG will be a contender for next season if they keep to their good form as they did this season. They are good and they will want to keep this quality in them till next season, but until then, let’s see how they play in the group stage matches because that will also determine how their performance will be going forward in the competition. I have strong hope in them and until they prove me wrong along the line, they will be a great choice for the UCL trophy next season.

I really didn't expect Manchester City to fail this season in the Champions League - it certainly feels strange considering their squad is so good. Liverpool tend to be better - Arsenal are the same, but none of the English teams have made it to the final. PSG who were doubted made it to the final and beat Inter in great style - I don't even want to remember how bad that defeat was for Inter.

PSG are contenders and they will certainly be favourites compared to last season - but I know that the team has not been as consistent as expected. The Champions League looks likely to go to Spain or England next season - if England, I expect Liverpool to win it.

[N.O]

Also your observation about Barcelon priorities focusing more on league than Champions League recently is fair one. We should wait and see how teams actually play on field before making any strong predictions which makes much of sense since football can change so quickly.

Well without going too far, in the Europa League we saw that many bets went down, many bet in majority that MU would win it, and of course I have no doubt they played very well throughout the tournament, but they fell against Spurs, a team that few had faith in, I did not bet, because I saw them very equal in level, however I believed that MU would win, even so when very advanced analyses have been made things can change and sometimes go by a path of luck.

I believe that the same thing happened in the Champions League finals. Majority of gamblers bet on Inter to win the match, but it was the opposite because PSG distabilized Inter strategy and made them the underdogs. Football is full of surprises and this is where the bookies make their profits from. As for the Europa finals, Spurs was lucky to win the league.

Many players tried well to win for Inter Milan football team but they could not win the final against Paris Saint-Germain football team and Many beters lost their investment because they bet on Inter Milan team because that team was looking favorite for that match but we saw excellent effort by opponent team and opponent team score was  5 in this match. Hakimi was a person who did first goal of the match and made pressure when Inter Milan tean was not ready to stop the goal and we saw back to back goals. Doué was a top performer of this match because he did 2 goals in this match and he did his first goal at 20 minutes of the match and after in the second half, we saw goal by that player and that was at 63 minutes. Inter Milan team defense system was very weak and we saw back to back goals in their pole .

PSG are contenders and they will certainly be favourites compared to last season - but I know that the team has not been as consistent as expected. The Champions League looks likely to go to Spain or England next season - if England, I expect Liverpool to win it.

PSG's expectations will be much greater next season than the season that just ended, especially since they are the defending champions now so surely this will be a new pressure for PSG so that they can make some breakthroughs later with great expectations.

This is also a new test for Enrique of course because although their young squad has been very good for this season but it cannot be denied that there will definitely be some new adjustments that allow this to be a little difficult especially when we know that for the beginning of last season where player adjustments occurred Enrique had lost their momentum, but even so Enrique's journey looks better when evaluations continue to be made.
Now they will have much more pressure because the brand next season is as defending champions not throne chasers and of course defending will be much more difficult.

I am not sure that PSG is going to make any sells this summer because they already won the champions league and as such has some good amount of money. They would instead reinforce. What this means is that the same PSG of last season is what we are going to see this season. Don't expect them to fall from grace to grass. That is the importance of having a well coached team. That PSG team is simply not dependent on any single individual to succeed. Even when their key player is injured, they can still continue to succeed in any competitions. I am not sure of their performance in this FIFA world cup but I am sure they will be formidable in next season's Champions League

First of all, PSG victory in the UEFA Champions League was not just luck, they also worked very hard to achieve all of that and they managed to prove themselves that they deserved the trophy this season, also judging by the team's outstanding performance, they performed stunningly especially in the final match against Inter Milan, they had the mental drive of champions to achieve a victory.

PSG fought hard from the group stage to emerge as the new champion in the Champions League and it was not entirely due to luck because of the various preparations they had done quite well despite the challenges. When facing Inter Milan, coach Luis Enrique's strategy went completely well and on the contrary Inter Milan were unable to match the aggressive playing pattern aimed at by PSG. Luis Enrique managed to shape the mentality of his players when facing Inter Milan so that what happened was that they were so dominant and I think it was not just about luck but the preparation efforts they did very well.

Of course there are many factors, but I think Enrique's role is quite dominant. Football is always about luck plus hard work. So all have a role in making PSG champions. So PSG I think were lucky and they worked hard to win. Their hard work in the league makes them comfortable to participate in the UCL because they are very superior just look at their point difference. Then Enrique also has good players, they don't have many injuries. Then in the first knockout phase they had a good mentality worked hard and got lucky in the penalty. In the quarterfinals they met Aston Villa I think it was luck, they had an easy opponent. In the Semifinals and Final they worked hard and they got a happy result. IMO

I agree. Dude is 36 years old, very soon to be 37 years old in 2 months. So yeah, while he scored bunch of goals this season, how long could it even be going? We can't see him forever be scoring like this, it makes no sense and it would be near impossible. Either he is going to start being bad this season, or best case, the season after that.

Barcelona would have sold Lewandowski this season if they had found a suitable replacement for Lewandowski. Hansi FLick does not have a suitable replacement for Lewandowski. Despite talented players like Rafinha and Yamal being in the squad, Lewandowski is still Barcelona's leading scorer. So Barcelona management will not decide to sell Lewandowski before finding a suitable replacement.

Lewandowski has played very well this season. It can be expected that Lewandowski will continue such good performances for the next 2/1 season. Lewandowski's fitness is still good enough. However, Barcelona should find a replacement for Lewandowski now.

Unlimited money! Which team really has that? Even with a proper and accompanied with your unlimited money and no proper players you're heading nowhere in the competition and it's been proven over time. This same PSG is an example of it in the previous years. A big team can always win the competition without splashing lots of money on transfers if they have quality quality players and coach. Barcelona did it when they had lots of their academy players in the senior with few other signings, they didn't spend much to win it twice in three years.

PSG has gone through quite fierce competition and challenges since the beginning and what must be remembered is that the competition in the Champions League has been quite fierce since the beginning of the competition and also this competition is quite long so it is not fair to say that PSG was only lucky to win its first Champion League title, basically PSG has developed a lot and Luis Enrique has been quite successful in building a PSG squad that is even in all lines so that they can win their first Champion League title.

The most influential is Luis Enrique, I cannot deny that with his quality as a coach and also Luis Enrique's experience, he can change many things in the PSG team including eliminating the ego of their star players so that no one only relies on a few players so that PSG players in all lines have equal quality.

I am a totally Madridista person but I do agree with you that a PSG and Barcelona final would have been better, because I would have liked to see BARCELONA fall in the final and they would have kept quiet a bit, I think it would have been more painful, it's not that it's Machiavellian, it's that they thought they were invincible, however the best thing is what happens, Inter knocked them out and I think that there Inter played their last cards and left nothing for the final, PSG did have clear what they had to do.

Good thing Inter Milan defeated them. I never wanted ti see them in that champions league finals and I was completely correct. I still feel sad they put Yamal over Raphinha for the Ballon d'Or,  I don't think he deserves it. This is my first reason for not wanting Barcelona to proceed to that finals. Hansi Flick is quite experienced he knows how to win big games like that. They'll be back next season for the Champions league regardless.

Yeah, it was Luis Enrique's hard work that helped PSG win the Champions League for the first time. PSG's squad was not very strong. PSG won the Champions League title with a mediocre team. There is no way to deny Luis Enrique's contribution.

Luis Enrique has experimented with this squad since the previous season. We have seen that he has kept talented players like Mbappe on the bench. He has given opportunities to young players. This season, PSG was not dependent on any specific player. Every player in the squad has performed well in his position. Although the squad is not strong, PSG is successful as a team.

However, if he wants to do well next season, Luis Enrique should try to strengthen his squad. Especially, it is important to add experienced players to the squad. Now Luis Enrique..

You're right Barcelona would've been a good match for the finals and it would've been a bad one for PSG, PSG should be very happy that inter eliminated Barcelona if not it would've been a stumbling block for them because PSG and Barcelona have almost the pattern of football and mind you that's a finals which I know that Barcelona will not joke with it, they would have given all they got that day to make sure that they win PSG, to me despite how PSG is, Barcelona remains their superior unless such has to be proven wrong this time by both of them meeting in finals of such competition like the UEFA champions league.

Nobody is doubting PSG competence to the finals, and it's not because they are rich means that they will make it to the finals. We have other rich clubs that have the same resources like PSG which makes it difficult for one to conclude that PSG will be in the finals next season. I learn and say things based on my past experience and funny enough, people forgets that changes is always constant. Check out from four seasons back till date, no club has won it back to back and whenever any club wins the league, people will always say that same club would win it the next season but football do prove them wrong. What work for you this season might not work for you next season.

Inter played their best two games of the year against Barcelona. I thought Barcelona would make it to the final, but with this unexpected and magnificent performance by Inter, they couldn't make it to the final. If the final had been between Barcelona and PSG, we would have been watching a match between two more equal teams and I think Barcelona wouldn't have suffered such a heavy defeat. In fact, Barcelona could have won the match. Football is such a game and sometimes the favorites can lose somehow.
