UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[ShowOff]

-

Liverpool are having a great squad right now, but they are still having some lapses, so slot will still have to sign more players to strengthen the team’s performance by next season. Liverpool was sent out of the FA cup final by Newcastle, and they were sent out of the Champions league by PSG, so we can see that Liverpool have a good squad right now, but they still have to sign more players.

Liverpool were able to win only the premier league last season, am sure Liverpool will want to win the premier league title again by next season, and they will want to win other titles also, so they should try and sign more players to improve the teams performance.

Of course they should transfer players because instead of TAA they should add a player who will not make his absence felt. Apart from that they should make good transfers in some areas where they are still lacking. Since they are the last Premier League champions, there are more expectations from them next year. They will need to spend some money to meet this expectation. I found their steps towards the Florian Wirtz transfer very valuable. If they get such quality players in every position, this problem will be eliminated.

Liverpool target for next season is quite clear, they want to retain the trophy while trying to become a title contender in the Champions League. If the situation allows, Arne Slot will also not let the FA Cup and Carabao Cup pass by. Liverpool management has so far acted as expected, they managed to recruit Jeremie Frimpong as a replacement for Trent Alexander Arnold. Coupled with the presence of Florian Wirtz, Liverpool now has a fairly even squad depth.

The next transfer step planned by Arne Slot may aim to polish the rotation options, which will make it easier for him to determine the starting XI according to needs and the level of competition. Last season, Liverpool were eliminated too early in the Champions League, with the recruitment of new players, Arne Slot has the opportunity to lead Liverpool to go further next season.

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 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

for me I don't Liverpool need to do much in the transfer market except for the purpose of replacing some of the players that left the club at the end of last season, hence it is Obvious that they would be a great team again this season despite last season's flop against defending champions PSG, also I think there's need for the team to give more chances to their young talents from their academy, these youngsters can sometimes be of great importance to the team if given the opportunity.

Liverpool has a great team, and I agree with you that Liverpool doesn't need to do much in the transfer window since they have a good squad that can compete in the UEFA Champions League competition and the Premier League or any other competitions they will play next season.

In the Champions League I don't think it makes any difference what their squad will be, nothing depends on it. The Champions League is about endurance and the ability to withstand any opponent, and for that you just need a balanced team with players who work well together and lastly to work on tactics. You can put together a star-studded squad, but it's unlikely to achieve greatness in the Champions League

That risk is the same for almost all teams because there are all those tournaments that inevitable bring a lot of games. Whether it is Conference League. Europa League or the CL, everyone has at least those games from the group stage or league stage and then the round of 16 games. The only problem I see is if teams get unlucky and have several injuries without impact from their opponent players. That would be a sign of fatigue, but if they get injured because of attacks in game, there isn't much you can do about it.

That's why squad depth is quite important because the coach can make a number of rotations at certain times of the game. Almost all teams will experience conditions like this but how a coach can see the opportunities to solve them. Almost all teams that play in the Champions League participate in a number of other tournaments as you said and injuries to several key players can cause quite a big problem. Like what happened to Real Madrid in the previous season and they failed to achieve the best results in winning the title because they were affected by injuries to several key players.

That is why great players have to have both, the skills and ambition to play their best, but simultaneously the biggest talent is going to fail if they are extremely prone to injuries. Coaches are lucky and happy when they have those top players that can play 50 games without any muscle issues or other problems. Rotation is not always the solution, I think it's a lot about genetics of a player and how medical treatment and recovery is done. I know that rotation can and should be part of those routines, but it still depends on the player. Some players go 50 games and more per season and never get injured, some players can't play half that number and are constantly fighting injuries of all kinds.

Replacing superstars is usually impossible, but squad depth is important if the best teams want to compete for as long as possible in all competitions. If it is not possible to replace a player 1:1, you still want highest quality in the squad. But it is a balancing act as no great player accepts their role on the bench while normally no great player ever wants to leave the game early. Someone like Haaland or Mbappe would never accept if they had to leave the games after 60 minutes every game.

You are coming the Angle I am seeing it from. PSG might not be able to defend the champions league but they will definitely get to the round 8.
I think Liverpool will be more powerful this season. They will likely get to the finals this time. They could not get to the finals last season because of lack of a proper striker. With Wirzt and the type of Isak on the view, they'll succeed this time.

We will see how it goes.

Sometimes it's not all about a “proper striker” but a balance within the team. Salah and company did a pretty impressive job, and they played as a single unit. If the big problem was the lack of a proper striker, then they wouldn't have registered success in the English Premier League as well.

In the UCL, they beat up most of the big teams, only to get thrown out by PSG. That's how tricky the UCl gets at times. You will have your team firing from all cylinders only to get thrown out by an underestimated team. Another classic example is Barcelona's journey in the UCL tournament.

@baeva, it depends on what you  mean about what Liverpool squad will be... Because I believe that for any team, endurance is parts of what makes it to be spotted as a good strong team that is balanced with a team game play. And Liverpool didn't lack any of these qualities in their last season campaign even though they had to be eliminated in the UCL semis by PSG on PK's, which any team can lose at that stage. What I think is that Liverpool squad depth is intact to face any team next season, they just need to put in more energy to go further and that's all.

Liverpool will again be a title contender in the Premier League and it is also possible that Liverpool will be stronger in the Champions League next season. But for the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup, it seems that this will not be Liverpool's main focus because if Liverpool focuses on all these competitions to become champions, of course their players will be very tired which can cause the loss of the possibility of becoming champions in bigger competitions such as the Champions League and the Premier League.

I think first of all Liverpool will try to defend their Premier League title because that is already quite prestigious. All the cup tournaments will be secondary. And of course the Champions League is always a priority for every team. But as this season showed even though Liverpool were in excellent form they could not compete in the Champions League and dropped out at a fairly early stage. If you look at Liverpools history they rarely manage to maintain good form over several seasons. At least that was the case with Klopp, we will see how Slot handles it.

To me Liverpool seemed really competitive last season, i am certainly not a Premier League expert, i just follow it out of curiosity as i like the English and German championships.
I am convinced that there will also be some returns next season, i am referring to Man City.

So far we cannot see which teams are the most dominant or have the most potential because the real competition has not started yet, if we refer to the new players brought in by each team so I think Liverpool is one that can be relied on, but yeah the transfer window isn't over yet meaning other surprises are still possible.

By the way we also can't ignore the ability of PSG who won the title this season and we are still waiting for their action in the transfer window, I'm sure PSG won't be satisfied with their current strength I mean PSG will try to reach a higher level based on the line-up. Can you imagine if PSG brought in new players in the attack line? Osimhen, Marcus Thuram and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia reportedly one of them will strengthen PSG's attack line so their chances for the Champions League next season are wide open.

It might be different for Klopp, but I don't expect Liverpool to be able to defend the title next season. They were lucky that everything worked out in their favor this past season which enabled them to win the title. Nex season might be different, because many clubs have bought new player and some clubs that were in a poor form last season based on injury will pick form next season.

I agree with that, because in this Champions League we have seen quite a lot of big clubs who began to lose their consistency when faced with a fairly busy match schedule. So that the endurance and balance of the squad is the main key to being able to maintain the consistency of their appearance in every match, both in the domestic league and the champions league.

We will see how it goes.

Sometimes it's not all about a “proper striker” but a balance within the team. Salah and company did a pretty impressive job, and they played as a single unit. If the big problem was the lack of a proper striker, then they wouldn't have registered success in the English Premier League as well.

Liverpool do need a pure striker as a scoring machine for them, but it is very unfortunate that the presence of Diogo Jota and Nunez is not able to answer that need. but fortunately on the other hand Arne slot has a pretty good strategy by making Salah a goal scoring machine for the Reds so that we see more goals created from the Reds' right wing. but even though Liverpool's front line problem has been resolved, I think they still need one more striker who plays as a pure striker to further sharpen Liverpool's front line, especially at this time it is rumored that Jota and Nunez will leave Liverpool.

The same thing always happens every season, the top teams are always the most dominant or have the most potential to survive longer than the relatively weak teams, unless they are able to present a surprise that was never expected before. Liverpool deserve to be nominated among the teams ready to compete in the title race based on the strength of their squad, Man City is also undergoing a major overhaul after failing miserably last season.

Real Madrid are also starting to improve after ending the season without a title, several other teams that have won the UCL trophy are also carrying out activities in the transfer market to increase the depth of their squad. Surprises have always been a part of football, but in modern football only teams that have squad stability in every line and are able to maintain their performance have a big chance of becoming champions.

Inter Milan football team will play match against Urawa Red Diamonds football team tomorrow and that match will be very exciting because no team is favorite for that match as we saw Inter Milan could not win last match they faced draw match and Urawa Red Diamonds team performance in last matches is very bad and that team is has no confident players. Inter Milan last match was against Monterrey and that was not one sided match and both teams performed well in that match and in tomorrow match , we will see that kind of performance.PSG performance in last match is very poor because that team could not win  match and that team needed improvement.

I think Inter Milan's win over Urawa Reds in the FIFA Club World Cup match yesterday can break all their negativity. Your statement is correct the last match they played resulted in a draw, but that match was quite an adventure for them. However their new coach Christian Chivu must have been relieved to see the team improve, especially when they won in the last minute courtesy of a substitute. Maybe it's normal that through the FIFA Club World Cup match, this team was able to do something unusual because they saw a victory after just a few weeks.

I was stunned when Ryoma Watanabe scored for the Japanese team, it seemed like they had won unexpectedly but then a beautiful moment was created because at that time, it was certainly obvious to everyone that Lautaro Martinez brought a positive situation to the team with an overhead kick.

Liverpool already had good squad which is capable of defending title but as they are strengthening their team it's just going for all way because now with the arrival of few players they can play much better and fearless soccer which will allow them for having better results in all competitions.

First season was tested case for Arne Slot which give him bonus with title now how things will be works it's challenging because Arsenal is already their while Manchester City is also improving their depth which will increase challenges for Liverpool with their consistency is going to be important in coming season while they will be fought for title here in Champions League. In last season, all was already settled through Klopp era now Arne Slot surely need to work on his own way which will give him some competitiveness while they will be in for double.

Nex season might be different, because many clubs have bought new player and some clubs that were in a poor form last season based on injury will pick form next season.

Predicting who will win the Premiership or clubs that will be in top four at this time will be difficult.  We have seen several clubs buying new players and even Liverpool is not left behind. They recently broke Premiership club recods to sign Florian Wirtz. The German will be a great addition to the club which would help them to fight to defend the trophy. When it comes to injuries,  it is highly unpredictable, we just have to wait to see if Liverpool will be able retain the trophy.

What is clear is that the competition will be even fiercer next season, Liverpool must work hard to be able to defend the trophy. Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea are real threats to Arne Slot squad, in my opinion the three teams are certain to enliven the competition for the trophy. Manchester United and Tottenham will try to rise, and teams like Newcastle, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest also have the potential to cause a lot of disruption in the competition. We are still in the transfer period, and several clubs are still trying to recruit new players, it is still very difficult to judge which team has the ideal squad depth.

So finally PSG smashed through their UCL roof. After spending considerable funds year after year, and a heartbreaking experience, they finally exploded with a 5-0 historic domination against Milan at the Allianz Arena. It is Luis Enrique who comes up with his squad just like a killer team and claims their first ever UCL crown. You know he made it possible without any superstar and used only strategy and tactics.

Now, come to the point heavyweights teams like Liverpool, Man City, Bayern, Barça, and Madrid have already started sugar rush in transfer game, targeting the next season's final. But what you learnt from  Enrique's success with PSG without having any superstar on his squad? Only one thing indicates there is no toptier team who could challenge for the title unless the coach bring unique tactics and a championship mentality to the players. You know, most of the teams in the Champions League are very strong. So winning the UCL requires not only a strong squad but also experienced coaches and a decent match strategy.

If refer with how many top new players recruitment, Liverpool seems favorite team for winning UEFA Champion League after spending million euro for signing Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Ármin Pécsi. But quite difficult for predicting as last season Champion League winner result where PSG have poor performance at phase league but success become the winner, in other side Liverpool have unbeaten games since phase league round have eliminated early from PSG at knock out round.

As the defending champion, PSG still not sign yet new players and depend current players almost all of them at the young age, easily for Luis Henrique as manager keep improving his team performance because around 70% his squad filling by youth players. Not hearing yet with transfer rumor from PSG which one new player will sign, actually really need with new striker how many often Luis Henrique playing Dembele as false nine position.

The UEFA Champions League is a tournament where every one come out to portray their strength. These managers are also competent, they don't relent and show their strength. Luis Enrique is now enlisted in the category of top players, and only the best will fit in. European football is very competitive and only the best team will earn major trophies, you know why? They worked hard for it. In the UEFA Champions League, we have entirely different clubs that compete and only the best will come out succeeding. Paris Saint-Germain was in prime and didn't have to settle for less when they have one good job to deliver. All I can say is watch out for Les Parisiens next season, they still got that fire sparkling.

The defeat they got this season was logical because PSG have picked up form that they haven't had for a few years and it was just difficult to oppose them, but if you look back at the match it was still decent and Liverpool's game was ok. I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool continue to play smoothly and win this season, but I think they would have a good chance with the current squad as well
