UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

MarjorieZimmermanGinger That's the beauty of football, that we can't predict the outcome.
I would never have bet on Chelsea, especially after seeing my beloved Inter destroyed by PSG in the final.
So imagine what a strange story it is: PSG destroys Inter with five goals but loses to Chelsea. These are the things that make me love football.

If we were able to know the outcome of matches the enthusiasm in watching the games wouldn't be there anymore. The Chelsea Vs PSG result in the Club World Cup wasn't any outcome we had expected to see Chelsea win PSG how much more winning them with such a 3 goals margin and PSG couldn't reply with a single goal. It was as though PSG did all the dirty job for Chelsea in the tournament by winning all the big sides only to handover the trophy at a platter to Chelsea.

Exactly, the beauty of these challenges is the improbability and the impossibility of predicting an exact outcome, I understand that bettors will try to do everything to guess, but there are matches that in my opinion should not even be played, I understand that the desire is great but sometimes you have to stop

Very true, knowing the end of the games even before the game begun will make the game boring because in the end we know what we are expecting,  that anticipation to see the end of the game gives you a reason to want to watch the game, the case of PSG and Chelsea was really interesting because we did not anticipate the kind of outcome we saw at the end of the game, it made the game even.more remarkable and one that will be on the lips of many for the longest time because it was nothing close to the expectations.

I think I agree with you that it is actually what makes football very fascinating, if outcome of soccer was to be certain, then the whole stuff would've have been ruined, and another thing is that gambling companies would've gone out of business because there wouldn't have been need for the business, the purpose for entertainment would've been defeated also, the match you mentioned is the reason why when we predict we shouldn't be too sure, although I was always very optimistic that Chelsea will win although that was because of the history Chelsea had on games like the UEFA league match finals but in all no matter how optimistic we could be anything can still happen, although I was very happy that we won.

It's perfectly natural that the results are always difficult to predict. If every outcome were easily predictable, all gamblers would easily become rich. But the unpredictability always creates more entertainment and curiosity for the audience, so everyone races to watch the match, even if not every match is exciting. However, for those willing to risk everything just to bet, I believe such people are simply driven by their addiction, without considering the opportunities or other personal considerations.

..This is the best time for you to have guaranteed Arsenal, because with the new signing that Arteta has made so far...

Come on, i think you're a bit of a catastrophist, Arsenal doesn't seem to be in such a bad position to me, last season they finished second, just 10 points behind first place.
So in my opinion, talking about a resurrection seems very exaggerated.
Also, if you look at the standings, they've only conceded 34 goals! Come on, let's not exaggerate.

Yes. You're right. Real Madrid is definitely a good team. One of the reasons why the team is good is because they have big stars. It's easier to play than to control a star player. Because none of Madrid's players have to learn the game. In terms of skill, no one is inferior to anyone else. So they all have arrogance. This arrogance makes them lose matches at the last minute. Each player has a different hunger to dominate. Because of this hunger, they lose again and again at the last minute.

I think Alonso will think more about this aspect. As a coach, it's very easy to create a new player. But controlling an experienced player is very challenging. Alonso said that after August 4, he will tell the fans everything about the team. Until then, we can only hope that whatever happens will be good.

What's happening to Real Madrid at the moment proves that recruiting star players doesn't necessarily make the club the best, in this case Xabi Alonso seems to be finding it a little difficult to control the star players, although the direction given is very clear, the difference will be seen when the match starts. However, if they can work well together as a team with the aim of winning at all costs, putting their egos aside. Real Madrid have the potential to become a club that is hard to beat and that has to happen soon, they don't have much time left.

Measures might be as simple as a team's experience or history in the Champions League, although that's not a definitive measure in today's football. As you mentioned, PSG were also defeated by Chelsea in the Club World Cup final, even though Chelsea are currently below PSG. There's no definitive prediction of how a team will achieve a good result in every match because football can happen unexpectedly. Sometimes you talk about experience, but the opponent capitalizes on momentum and in the end the experienced loses. This happens often in football so it is not surprising that something happened that was not based on predictions.

When football happens it's more fun, although when your team is not in the losing end.

I knew Chelsea had better chance of defeating PSG  in the finals because Real Madrid are even more dangerous though they were trash by PSG but that doesn't disrupt the fact that they're like the worse team to meet in a final.

I was only sceptical at first about our goalie and defence,not making errors like Real Madrid which PSG could capitalise on and thankfully we played as a team and everyone cover others lapses and we were Victor's.

Although I'm having a feeling we might meet again in this Champions league but hopefully in the group stage at first, of it will be more than once by the way.

Even though this discussion is a past one and I don't see the need for it again but Chelsea fans should know that what happened at the club world cup final was just football happening and nothing much they should not use that to judge the strength of their team because truth be told Chelsea is still a work in progress and has a lot of areas of improvement their target should be playing very well in the premier League and champions League this coming season

Not knowing the outcome of the game is the sweetest part of the game that's why fans gather to banter each other just to predict and catch fun when they watch their favourite teams play against another team. Chelsea and PSG game is one of the games that ended surprisingly because most people predicted PSG to win the game because of their performance and the teams they defeated but the outcome of the game changed everything.

Vini's ego is getting bigger and bigger especially when he was one of the strong candidates for the Ballon d'Or before which makes it difficult for Madrid to improve.
There were moments when Vini seemed more active in his individual work and it was not uncommon for him to dribble until the opportunity was wasted because of his ego.

For me Vini is not a very decisive player, it is not that necessary, because in the Club World Cup his performance was very bad, the truth is I don't know what's wrong with him, I hope he improves, and the best way for him to improve is for them to feel sorry for him and not make him a starter, he thinks he is too much and it's not like that, fortunately players are arriving who obviously want to sweat it out and leave their soul on the pitch, who go up and help defend, that's the kind of player that Madrid needs and that Xabi is looking for.

The UCL qualifying matches have concluded. Salzburg drew 1-1 with Brann but advanced to the next round with a four-goal victory in the first leg. Rangers drew 1-1 in another crucial match against Panathinaikos. It was a tough round, and Rangers managed to advance. Tel Aviv was eliminated with a 1-0 home defeat to Cypriot side Pafos. Kairat, who lost 2-0 in the first leg, advanced with a 3-0 home victory. The next matches will be highly competitive.

[coinlocket$]

Just as reminder.

The draw for the elimination will be done in 3 days.
After that we will enter in the final stage of the Champsion League and we will have all the team for the next cup.
The draw for the final stage will be on 28th August with the 1st game will be played on 16th of September

I don't know, I really like this player, everyone is convinced that he can do really important things but in reality I don't think he can actually make such a big impact and bring Arsenal to important stages, but he can certainly prove me wrong, we'll see

Mikel Arteta is very hopeful that Viktor Gyökeres' arrival at Arsenal will have a big impact, but next season, many teams have already made changes to their lineups, so it won't be easy for any team to win the title. So, the internal impact of Arsenal's team might come from the presence of one of these players. But if Arsenal only focus on and rely on one player, that could be a mistake for Arsenal, because a Premier League team must have several reliable players in every key position if they want to be strong throughout the season.

Yes, football happened indeed but that doesn't mean Chelsea has not improved the issue here is that can they be consistent which has been out biggest issue.

Our squad can compete against any top team when we are consistent and have our attackers taking chances properly. In this Champions league I don't see us winning it but we can get to the quarter finals and then if we can male it to the semis and especially finals then I can say we can lift it.

In the Chelsea and PSG match for that competition, the result was really surprising; nobody expected that result, but that's football—sometimes it happens to be like that. Unfortunately, PSG lost the trophy to Chelsea, which is really memorable, as you said.

Furthermore, even with that performance against PSG, Chelsea still needs to be very hard-working in the coming season because it will be a tough one, so they need to be well prepared. Although this trophy they won is going to be another motivation for them to do well again, I’m expecting Chelsea to change for good this coming season.

Nothing has happened yet. Anyone who thinks that an event like the Club World Cup is a good predictor for the next season is wrong. The sole fact that transfers are still being made and teams can change significantly compared to what they looked like during the cup is telling you that the squads have not been finalized yet.

If anything is a burden for Alonso in the next season, it is that the squad is not put together very well as it lost balance due to players resigning and similar player types like Vinicius and Mbappe. They will have to fix that or I think they will quickly realize that competing with a well balanced squad like Barcelona won't be possible. It is not all about that single game that Real Madrid can win, but they want to compete for La Liga title and therefore they need balance from the goalkeepers to their strikers.

Arsenal made remarkable performance last season in the Champions League, it's not easy to reach the Semi finals despite the strong teams they met so for the fact that they have strengthened their squad with the arrival of Viktor Gyokeres and some other players, I believe that they will still perform as they did last season and probably reach the finals this time. The premier league has six teams so am hoping that one of them will reach the finals because if none of them could reach the finals it will be so bad so am anticipating either Arsenal, Manchester City or Liverpool to reach the finals.

But if Arsenal only focus on and rely on one player, that could be a mistake for Arsenal, because a Premier League team must have several reliable players in every key position if they want to be strong throughout the season.

Take a careful look at Arsenal's performance in the last three seasons and tell yourself the truth is Arsenal wouldn't have lifted at least one major trophy if they had a striker that could score up to 30 goals. That's the reason why I strongly believe that Victor Gyokeres' arrival will significantly increase Arsenal's chances of winning a trophy next season. Despite finishing 2nd in the English Premier League for the last three seasons, I've never considered a major title contender like think they are now that Gyokeres have joined the team. For UCL, I think they'll probably have a better campaign that what we saw last season.

Arsenal will make a big difference this time around that will shock football fans ,an impressive performance that will lead them to winning the English premier League and the UEFA Chiampions trophy precisely Mikel Arteta and his team Finished well in the last UEFA Chiampions league and were also close to winning the EPL trophy last 2 seasons but couldn't finished it better and I think Mikel Arteta have figured out a way of closing those lapses that was dragging the team backwards. Alot of expensive signings have been made to further strengthen and improve the performance of the team. I also think one of the reasons that slowed  Arsenal performance in the previous season was injuries on their side,some of Arsenal key players were badly injured at a very critical time. Now that Mikel Arteta have done a lot of signings for Arsenal, I am also confident that Arsenal will now perform more better than last seasons.

That is something I do expect them to do, but one of those. Either they will win premier league, or they will win UCL, it is already incredibly rare for teams to win both of them at the same time, and even rarer for teams to do it first time ever. Arsenal probably never won premier league and UCL at the same time in their history, not sure if that's correct but that's what I know, so being able to do it on their first try would be near impossible.

Arteta needs to make a choice, will they go for UCL? Or will they go for EPL? Depending on his answer, he needs to rest players accordingly. Obviously many prefer to win UCL over EPL because UCL is more global, but he may still need to reconsider what is realistic for the team he has.

I don't know if Arteta can win both the Champions League and the premier League in one season, this is football some of this scenarios cannot be predicted but however, the Arsenal team we've seen for the last two seasons is definitely different from what we will be seen from next season, I don't know the kind of mixture Arteta wants to have with this crop of new players he has been signing since the opening of the Transfer window, but I just believe his about to mess up his tactics and not getting right, I might be wrong though but then am not seeing a clear part to which he can still give us the performance has been given for past two seasons with this new guys.

The premier league has six teams so am hoping that one of them will reach the finals because if none of them could reach the finals it will be so bad so am anticipating either Arsenal, Manchester City or Liverpool to reach the finals.

I remember last season when a certain player arrived a team and the expectations blew out of proportion in that the arrival of that player did felt like the saving grace for that team and most persons did expected they were going to win the champions league and possibly other trophies including their domestic league trophy but we saw how it ended,  Gyokeres is a very good striker who's presence in that team sends a strong message to opponents but slowing down on the expectations now will not be a bad idea because he will still need time to blend in and so it may not produce quick results as we expect so soon, but it can still happen actually,  either ways let us slow down with the expectations because of gyokeres.
