And? They will have the same teams as the last time, and  PSG beat the crap out of them, 3 out of 3!
They could send the whole Premier League, but would that change anything if you add more and more lower-ranking teams? I bet England having Ipswich and Southampton playing in the CL would increase their chances of lifting the trophy by what, 50%?
If you send 160 teams from Andorra, would that then mean they will ever get past the knockout stage? Lol!

I get the point you are trying to make but you can't denied the fact that English team having more help their chances even if it's by a little percentage I mean the same PSG you are taking about that won three of the teams that played in the champions league last season was also handled like a baby by one of the least expected teams to do so and boy did they beat the crap also out of the Frenchmen. But your point is duely noted just wanted to make you also see reason that their chances is at a little advantage even if you want to deny the fact.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that PSG actually fell victim to their own ambition there. Seeing Chelsea as a team easy and easy to beat, PSG were quite surprised when they suffered a heavy defeat. Having won the UCL last year by eliminating numerous English teams, including the Premier League champions, PSG expected a comfortable victory, but when it didn't happen, everyone was surprised.

The point is that the defeat experienced by the previous season's Champions League champions, PSG, was of course because they underestimated Chelsea, who at that time looked less promising. Because arguably Chelsea can enter the final round of the world cup, because the teams they face in the round of 16 to the semifinals are not too strong. That's why PSG is very confident that his team can win in the final. But in reality they lost and could not do much at the time of the final match. But even so, I am sure PSG will bounce back and correct these mistakes in the coming season. So with this in the next season I think PSG is still the paporit team to become a champion in the Champions league.

Because basically in the world of soccer it is really erratic. So it is possible for a team to win a certain competition, but that team will not be able to be sure to win in other competitions. That's why even though it is true that Chelsea is predicted to be a strong team in the Champions league next season, because they have won the world cup. But in my opinion this is not necessarily really happening. Because basically every team will also fight better next season. So with this, I think until the Champions League next season really starts, we will not be able to predict which team will really have a great chance to become champions.

Almost 90% of people were in favor of PSG winning because PSG's performance that season was amazing and they did not lose any match but they consistently won against big opponents. Where they beat Inter Milan in the Champions League final, they beat Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final match and they beat teams like Bayern Munich in the previous round, Chelsea was not a big obstacle for them and they should have won against Chelsea easily but the performance on the field was actually different and this different performance surprised us. If PSG could have won the Club World Cup final then they would have had no regrets and in the last season they were one of the most successful teams but in reality it was not like that. Maybe PSG will want to forget this memory of the final match and in the new season they will start anew and try to do well in all kinds of tournaments.

The fact that PSG were defeated by Chelsea is undeniable, as it was a complete surprise for everyone. The reason for this is that before the Club World Cup final, few people believed in Chelsea; the rest certainly favored PSG because they had already won the Champions League before heading into the competition. What will be even more interesting is how PSG can repeat their success in the Champions League next season, as other teams have already found ways to beat PSG in the Champions League next season.

UCL seems like the main goal for Real Madrid, if they can do a better job this year because they are focusing on. This has to be the best thing for them to just move further this season. They got Xabi and Trent, that is the two biggest reason. If they can do a better job that would be a lot better, so there aren't really complicated issues to focus on at the moment. What we are going to see at the moment is playing with the system Xabi shows them and they do a good job if possible.

There aren't anything that could get a higher result, because if they can learn the system they would be a lot better. If they get used to it, then they could get a greater results because that is what they need for the future and to win.

That match was used as a pay back to PSG by Chelsea for what PSG did to the English clubs in UCL, and I was shocked to see the match ended that way. However, it should be a lesson for PSG not to underestimate any club because they are not unbeatable. Initially, before the finals, I was marveled at PSG performance and felt they are the favorite to win competition , but Chelsea proved me wrong.

This lesson was learned from them, they definitely lowered their crest and realized they were dealing with a very strong team that showed that even the best can lose, even if that cup is worth much less than a Champions League. They will definitely be more careful in the future

PSG were arguably the best team in that tournament because of the number of good teams they defeated to get to the finals no one could think that Chelsea would defeat them not even when they are the reigning champions League winners and their performance is still very good but Chelsea took the challenge upon themselves and came up with a strong ambition to defeat them and it worked perfectly as they outperformed PSG by defeating them without letting them hit the bake of the net. Next season is going to be a difficult season for all the teams because of clubs have equipped their squad and are ready for the competition so just like PSG did last season a new club may emerg or one of the big teams will continue where they stopped.

Historically it has always been one of the added values of Real Madrid and it is no coincidence that it has been the team with the highest number of Champions League wins.
It is not by chance that I dare say
so we know very well that they care a lot about this competition and often sacrifice the Liga too, always

[Kaliandra]

This season England have an opportunity to bring back Champions League trophy because they have the highest representative meaning they are up to six clubs in the competition and almost all of them are capable except Tottenham who had poor performance last season but with the recent transfer window they have gathered a enough player but despite that I still doubt their capacity because all other clubs also have strengthen their squad ahead 2025/26 season.

As regard to Arsenal many things that signing Viktor Gyokeres was a big achievement for them because it shows that they have serious prepared to lift a trophy in the coming season.

England is very lucky because there are indeed 6 English league clubs that will play and indeed England should be able to have a great chance of winning the Champions League trophy. but of course in the Champions League of course all the teams that get tickets to the Champions League are strong teams so of course even though many teams advance to the Champions League from the English League but in my opinion there is certainly no guarantee that the English club club will be able to win the trophy in the UCL next season.

Of course, although currently the English league team has good strength and talented players, if we look at the team from Laliga, of course they are no less strong, especially like Barcelona and Real Madrid, whose strength is no doubt. but yes, the point is that nothing is certain for the Champions League match in the coming season. but indeed England if it can take advantage of it, of course there is great potential for one of the clubs from the English league to become champions.

Yes, the steps taken by Arsenal are indeed good by bringing in Gyokeres and of course there is the potential that he will play better next season and yes it is true that it is a sign that Arsenal will certainly be ready to play in the EPL and Champions League. but certainly I hope Arteta can train Arsenal players better because of course there are still shortcomings that must be corrected by Arteta such as the lack of good Arsenal defenders.

Chelsea football club surprised everybody nobody believed that Chelsea will win PSG in the FIFA club world cup finals this is why I always say that premier League is the most difficult and competitive League in the world one team cannot dominate in winning the premier League season after season for long what happened is what usually happen in premier League Chelsea was motivated to make sure that they bring PSG down and they did it, Manchester City tried to dominate the premier League by winning the title season after season but they could not keep it on and for them to win the premier League title again will be a difficult one for them because right now Liverpool and Chelsea are they teams I feel we win next season premier League title, however we can still receive a surprise that another unexpected team in the premier League will be the ones to lift the premier League title that is why I said premier League is the most difficult and competitive league in the world you never can tell or be too sure of the club that will lift the league title.
Next season champions League competition will be very difficult and the final may also come as a surprise to us.

[doomloop]

if we talk about the number of teams that have qualified for the Champions league, it is true that the English league is currently the league that sends the most teams to the competition. So if we look at the chances of that factor, it is true that it is the teams from the English league that have a great possibility of lifting the trophy. But even so, in my opinion, it will not be a strong guarantee that the team from the English league can become a champion in the Champions league next season. Because basically all teams competing in the Champions league certainly fight on their own, and there is no effect when many other teams from the same league they can get the opportunity to become champions.

English teams look like they have a better chance, for two main reasons. One of them is the fact that we have seen English teams win it frequently before, to be fair Spanish and English ones ended up being the winners most of the time. Second reason is that we have seen them have big strong teams and that is the most important part. We should be considering English teams as the best ones at the moment because of the size of them.

However, the trouble is that, they are not the "best" team, they have seen what they are doing, trouble is that we are seeing how things are changing. Think about it, we are seeing things are, rest is the fact that there are one or maybe two strong teams from other leagues, whereas English league has 3-4 at least.

PSG looked very strange in the final, it is difficult for me to evaluate this game, I will just leave it in the foreground. Chelsea can surprise, but I do not think that they are stronger than PSG now, maybe it was some kind of coincidence within one game, maybe something else, for now I do not want to think about it because this tournament initially looked very strange. Chelsea will be in the Champions League this season, let's see how good they will be in the group stage, I think they are strong enough to get to the playoffs, and then let them show that they deserve to win.

This sounds funny, Chelsea may not have actually had that in mind , they just wanted to win the title because that all that actually matters but as a sport lover it's very much relatable for a mimicry. The lesson has obviously be learnt by PSG and even other teams who would have witnessed it, Chelsea inclusive would have see that they won as a result of them been undermined earlier so they will learn not to undermine any team in the new season not minding the positions of the team at any time.

[KTChampions]

Do you expect a surprise winner this season? Like a team that have never won this tournament before maybe? You know PSG were also such team until reaching their ultimate target finally in the previous season.

Arsenal have consistently improved under Arteta, but that doesn't mean they "automatically" have to win the Champions League at some point. Firstly, other teams are also improving, and secondly, there is some randomness to this achievement, maybe they are less lucky than others. And at the moment, several clubs look significantly stronger than Arsenal, so if Arsenal again goes far into the Champions League, even without winning it, it will be considered a normal/good result for them.

I agree with that randomness part. Man, I still can't forget about the way Chelsea won the Champions League 4 years ago.   

They literally defended all the way to the end and made it somehow.

The latest newcomers of Champions League title holders irritate me (oil clubs City and PSG) so I guess I won't want any more new winners 
Atletico and Arsenal may have deserved to win the title long ago, but they don't look ready (especially Atletico).
Yes, that Chelsea win over City came out of nowhere, it was very nice to watch Pep suffer (by the way, it seems like it was his own fault because he chose a stupid tactic for the final), losing to Chelsea, which were only 4th in the Premier League.

If Fenerbahçe can advance Feyenoord in this round, they will face the winner of the Benfica-Nice match in the playoffs.
I don't think they will eliminate Feyenoord, but you never know. Feyenoord doesn't look very prepared either.
It will be a clash of two evenly matched teams. The first match being in the Netherlands is a good thing for Fenerbahçe.
Benfica will be a tough opponent for the team that advances this round. Benfica will likely beat Nice.

The good thing is that whichever of these teams is eliminated will go to Europa or Conference league so their journey will surely not finish here. I think each of the teams that goes forward here will surely have deserved such qualification further in the Champions League. The Champions League has become very competitive in these last years and we have seen a lot of surprises from the matches in such phase there. Benfica though is always a team that has done pretty well in Champions and even got to the semi final of it one or two times so most likely they will be the one qualifying against Nice, Nice a team that lately has not done that well in such competitions.

Quite interesting to see people who take notes of happenings in football. The thing is, the more this Arsenal team improves, the more we find other teams improving as well. Manchester City lost their form last season, and Arsenal where the favorite, only for Liverpool to pick up a crazy form that lasted till the very end of the season. It also happened in the Champions league, only for psg to pick up a crazy form as well.

Same thing is literally happening now, and would reflect next season. In this transfer window, they've strengthen their team with new players, and have gotten a striker, but other teams are doing the same which wasn't even like that in previous seasons. They have what it takes, but it seems other teams are finding ways to neutralize them. They might get lucky this season, who knows.

Having won the UCL last year by eliminating numerous English teams, including the Premier League champions, PSG expected a comfortable victory, but when it didn't happen, everyone was surprised.

Chelsea boss Maresca was very accurate in identifying the weaknesses of PSG's defense. I saw that Chelsea's first two goals were from long passes. Chelsea's players attacked very quickly and scored three goals in the first half. And as a result, PSG could not create a comeback opportunity. Moreover, Chelsea's defense was also very strong. Luis Enrique needs to change his match strategy. At the same time, he needs to work on making the players more confident. The players need to have the mentality to come back even after conceding quick goals. Otherwise, it will not be possible for PSG to do well in the long run next season.

And? They will have the same teams as the last time, and  PSG beat the crap out of them, 3 out of 3!
They could send the whole Premier League, but would that change anything if you add more and more lower-ranking teams? I bet England having Ipswich and Southampton playing in the CL would increase their chances of lifting the trophy by what, 50%?
If you send 160 teams from Andorra, would that then mean they will ever get past the knockout stage? Lol!

I get the point you are trying to make but you can't denied the fact that English team having more help their chances even if it's by a little percentage I mean the same PSG you are taking about that won three of the teams that played in the champions league last season was also handled like a baby by one of the least expected teams to do so and boy did they beat the crap also out of the Frenchmen. But your point is duely noted just wanted to make you also see reason that their chances is at a little advantage even if you want to deny the fact.

Chelsea defeating PSG surprised a lot of fans, was it about over confidence or Chelsea really played PSG. Well Chelsea tried and PSG could not even stand a chance defending their stand. PSG just had little taste of their own medicine seeing how they humbled strong teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona etc, PSG is not on a high chance from my view even last season I had same thought yet they proved everyone wrong and won the title but, this time around things might be a little different. PSG is definitely on the list, not as other teams including the ones they defeated just hoping other teams can stand a quality chance.

PSG felt very superior and in my opinion they underestimated their opponent and this meant that Chelsea believed in the victory more than them and then they actually won, literally turning the opposing team upside down. It's true that no one would have ever expected it but it must be said that they were also more tenacious and believed in it more.
