UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Fuso.hp]

PSG didn't just beat the giant teams, they totally destroyed them. You know they beat Liverpool & Arsenal in the knockout stages & thrashed Inter Milan 5 - 0 in the UCL final, that made this victory a roaring success.

I cant say this dominance is a coincidence at all, rather I wanna call it Luis Enrique's team tactics, his mentality of playing together, & the confidence of his youth, all together has overcome the injuries and pressure.

Most importantly, PSG's players have the foundation for the future, & there is huge potential for improvement for those youngster. Under Luis Enrique's leadership & as a strong team, PSG will remain the clear favourites in UCL next season also

Looking at the squads that PSG currently has on ground, I think they can still be favourites for the next season champions league title also. A team full of young players is a team with big potentials. After winning the last season’s champion league, they will be on top of their game and want to have another win again this season. All eyes will be on them but if they really train hard and work together well as a team, they will turn to a force no team can be able to counter on unless they face a defeat.

We will have other favourites for next season as the season will start and see their dominance in their respective league games, but since the champions league competition is different, we have to wait to see their performance in champions league also before coming to a decision on the most preferred favourite teams for the champions league title. All preparations at the beginning of the season will be on how to escape the group stage by all teams involved which is very important for the success of each team in the competition when it begins.

It was beyond everyone's imagination that PSG would win the Champions League title this season, but PSG did it and we saw the celebration of winning the title in Paris. Since PSG has won the Champions League title once, now they will come to the field with a good plan every season and every big team will always consider PSG as a tough opponent in the Champions League. At the moment, PSG has a lot of good young talented players who can change any statistics of the team at any time.
Especially, the kind of football that PSG played in the Champions League final match against Inter Milan is a dream for any team in the Champions League final. As long as Luis Enrique is in charge of PSG, PSG fans can expect something good for their team in the Champions League. I don't know what Luis Enrique's plan is for the next season, but even if he doesn't buy additional players, PSG will still do well in the Champions League 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.

Yes, INTER burned out, Inter didn't know how to do things, Inzhagi certainly didn't do things right as they should have and it's strange for a coach who was above all a player, everyone makes their mistakes and as he is already a coach who has experience reaching the UCL finals, it seems luck is not on his side, not so much luck but they lost by 5 goals and that is something that is quite large, I personally would have to make a renewal to see if this time they win everything.

The problem was not a mistake from the coach we have to say things that they are sometimes this inter Milan team is an aged team and can't compete with the youthful team of PSG the coach tried his best but a more energetic team like PSG is one that inter Milan can't compete with at this time with the players that they have currently

This is funny, the same aged Inter Milan's team is the same team that defeated a decent Barcelona team, I do not want to believe that the age of the players affected Inter Milan in the final game against PSG rather the formation of the coach and the game play or the team was a total mess against PSG.  Inter Milan's coach failed to change the performance of the team during the second half and PSG took over every where in the game and defeated them even before the end of the game.

Inter Milan played very extraordinary, even they managed to beat Barcelona, who are strong candidates to become champions compared to PSG and when talking about players, it must be admitted that the appearance of PSG players looks more aggressive because many players have a relatively young age, in contrast to Inter Milan, which is still inhabited by many senior players who are approaching retirement, despite having a lot of experience on the field, but it cannot be denied that their performance has decreased quite drastically. On the other hand, there was a mistake in the choice of strategy that caused Inter Milan to lose.

I have the same opinion with you about Inter Milan performance at the final of UEFA Champion League final make us boring after easily defeating by PSG over 5 goals. Indeed Inter have performed well success qualifying to final by eliminating many top teams but their performance at the final very unexpected after can't scoring any one goal yet and have losses 5 goals. Currently at the final match, both teams not get problem with their main players but Inter how easily loss and become the first Champion League final team losses many goals.
Forget the bad final result in Champion League this season, Inter have opportunity upcoming season by performing quite well with new tactician after Simione Inzhagi leave Inter and join with SPL team Al Hilal. Wish new Inter Milan manager Christian Chivu giving huge impact for Inter Milan performace exactly at Champion League and perfectly if can qualify to final round back to back.

To be fair, that wasn't really "boring". What is boring is a 1-0 game, more often scored on early minutes, and nothing else happens. PSG made that game fun and Inter was the accomplice in that. I have watched a very entertaining game there, it doesn't have to be a game where the two teams playing has to be equal, the other day we watched Bayern beat Auckland 10-0, that was fun too, a bit cringe to be fair lol but still not bad, and a lot of fun.

So we need to realize things could be fun even if t he score was 5-0 because we have seen 5 goals and domination by one club. Obviously it would have been better if it was like the world cup finals but not every game could be like that and sometimes one side dominates, you gotta learn to enjoy that too (unless if you are inter fan of course).

Due to all the surprises that I witnessed last season I wouldn't want to conclude on whom might get to the finals anymore or make any comment concerning any team but would rather wait to see how all the teams would fare, especially the new teams that would be participating in the UCL this season and I expect Liverpool to compete very well due to their recent signings which is aimed at strengthening their squad for next season.

Liverpool's failure in the 2024/25 UCL season yesterday was indeed surprising, considering that they were the team that performed most impressively in the qualifying round, but unexpectedly they were immediately eliminated in the round of 16. However, with the consistency they maintain and several changes they have made to further strengthen their squad depth, they are always the strongest candidate to win the Champions League trophy.

Yes, INTER burned out, Inter didn't know how to do things, Inzhagi certainly didn't do things right as they should have and it's strange for a coach who was above all a player, everyone makes their mistakes and as he is already a coach who has experience reaching the UCL finals, it seems luck is not on his side, not so much luck but they lost by 5 goals and that is something that is quite large, I personally would have to make a renewal to see if this time they win everything.

Simone Inzaghi is a coach who managed to bring Inter Milan to the Champions League final twice, after last playing in the Champions League final in the 2009/10 season and managed to win it. Until finally Simone Inzaghi managed to bring Inter Milan back to the Champions League final in the 2022/23 and 2024/25 seasons. But now Simone Inzaghi has chosen to leave Inter Milan, and I doubt that next season they will return to the Champions League final.

[baeva]

Still too early to make any solid predictions but I assume the usual teams will be in the latter stages of the competition. The likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Inter, Bayern Munich.

I hope Liverpool do better this season in it, we only lost on penalties to eventual winners PSG. We will be stronger now with Frimpong, Wirtz and Kerkez signing. I think we will sign a striker too. Arne Slot means business.

Liverpool still need to introduce players into the squad competently before they can say they were good signings. Liverpool are one of the few teams that keep up the level in terms of transfers. They rarely make mistakes, buy more than one player and are consistently top of the table in various tournaments, including the Champions League, but I think it really takes time here

[LUCKMCFLY]

Barcelona ain't that tough as you think they are.

Yes bro, they are not invincible, whether they think they are invincible is another thing, maybe they put it in their heads to raise their morale or their self-esteem, but in reality it is a team that is doing well, but not that well, if not they would have won the UCL, experience in football will always prevail, for me there is no other way, that is why Inter beat them, they left them on the field, in fact I think that next season they will not be as lucky as they were last season.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

It should be underlined that defending a title is more difficult than winning it. PSG has just managed to realize its dream of winning the UCL trophy, so far Nasser Al-Khelaifi has spent a lot of resources but always ended in failure, only in the Luis Enrique era were they able to win the most prestigious trophy. Of course they are very ambitious to defend the trophy they have just won, but it is not something easy because there are so many other top teams trying to win this trophy.

At least for now PSG has become part of the team that has won the Champions League, making PSG one of the teams that has the mentality. To defend the title in a row is not easy and maybe there are many things that need to be evaluated so that PSG can be much stronger and have a strong mentality. We can't be sure whether PSG can play better next season or not in the Champions League. But I believe they will continue to show a changing side after successfully achieving the title and spending a lot of money is commensurate with the results they get now.

You are right. PSG is a youthful squad that is full of young players that are hungry for goals. They are putting their energy into football; they have been aggressive. They are not ready to lose, while Inter Milan players are not that strong and young as PSG players, and I think that is where the issue comes in because with the way PSG performances always turn out to be every season,

it’s surprising to me this team is not always at their best performance at the start of the season, but when the season is about to end, they become beasts, and even the big clubs are being careful with PSG, which is seriously surprising. The season has ended, and every club is preparing for how next season will be. From the look of things, next season will be tough.

I also see Barcelona doing well, I don't know if you've seen the attack stats, it's really scary.
His problem, as is well known, in addition to the financial one, lies behind, in the defense.
In fact, it managed to lose against Inter for that reason, if it had a less cardboard defense it would have definitely won.

• Barcelona
• PSG
• Liverpool

Were all very good last season and I am seeing them coming back stronger and they'll still be stronger than;

• Real Madrid
• Manchester city
• Bayern Munich

Especially Liverpool. Slot is seriously cooking and it is going to be loud in both EPL and the prestigious champions league.

It is true that Barcelona is in financial crisis. But even then, Barcelona's squad is very strong. And the team is capable of performing well. Barcelona has the ability to perform well against any big team. We have seen this proof in the previous season. Barcelona also won against giant teams like Real Madrid and Munich by a big margin.

This season, Barcelona is trying to strengthen their squad. Hansi FLick should try to strengthen Barcelona's defense. Because in the last season, we have seen poor performance of Barcelona defenders in several matches. However, Barcelona has not taken any necessary steps to strengthen the defense even after buying Nico Williams.

However, Barcelona will definitely be considered as the favorite for the Champions League next season. The players in the squad are talented and confident. The team has the ability to win the Champions League.

Lida93 you are right, last season I'm very sure no one believed PSG will win the champions League trophy even when they reached semi final, a lot of people where saying real Madrid or Barcelona will be the team to lift the champions League title but that didn't happen none of this two teams even made it to the finals so predicting or saying a team that will lift the next seasons champions League is a waste of time however I still believe Barcelona and PSG will go far in the competition next season because they are very much inform.
Yeah I also expect Liverpool to go far in the champions League competition next season infact they are the only English team I believe can go far in next seasons champions League competition, last season champions League competition they really tried but PSG was so determined to win the trophy but with this little upgrade in players they have made i believe they have more chance and opportunity to even lift the champions League trophy next season.

When Inter Milan defeated Barcelona in the semi-finals to secure a place in the final, we had a clearer idea that Inter Milan might be on their way to winning the Champions League title after a long time, but we never imagined that Inter Milan would be so helpless in the final against PSG. Despite being behind before the PSG match, Inter Milan managed to score five goals in the final against Inter Milan, while Inter Milan could not score a single goal against PSG.

This defeat will probably go down in the history of the Champions League as a shameful defeat, and PSG will remember their performance for a long time. Seeing Inter Milan's performance in the final, I thought for a while that if PSG's opponent in the final had been Barcelona instead of Inter Milan, the competition would have been even tougher.

The first seasons were a charm for Arne Slot and Hansi Flick. I believe the season seasons will be harder for them as most of the focus on the tactics will be on them by the opponents. I say this because I have seen it happen before.

Defending the Champion's League is no easy thing, and PSG will face it rough as well. I am not sure how Real Madrid will perform under Xabi, but I think Manchester City will still be “not so scary”.

There were some injuries at the defence side before the inter game and that was  one of Key Barcelona defence among was Balde and kounde.. Besides, I really  didn’t think it was the defence, fine they could have won with a good defence but they literally wasted chances that could have put them 3 goals ahead , the 3 against one , 1 on 1 and some other  clear chances was completely wasted so imo I put them blame on the wasted chances..

Honestly, i was quite surprised to see the ability of the PSG players in the final, thinking the match would be fierce between the two teams, but instead it turned into a moment of carnage, Inter Milan appeared helpless, the attack and defense seemed to be silent and could not do anything, of course this was very disappointing for Inter Milan fans, who had previously celebrated the victory against Barcelona in the semifinals, this was the hardest blow they received, a moment that will not be forgotten.

I thought I am the only one that sees them that way, I know they have improved in their game a lot but I don't think they are invincible as people see them. I even believe if they have played against PSG they wouldn't have won because of their style of defending. The high line defending is why I don't think they are not invincible because the rate at which they concede is just too much and they won't be so lucky to score as many goals every match. Real Madrid poor performance made it looked like they were invincible, Real Madrid lost all matches against them which was what made everyone think they were invincible.

Next season will be more challenging for them and they won't be as lucky as they were last season. Teams would have come up with ideas to counter their high line and defend against them better.
