UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Frankolala]

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.

It may not take long for Real Madrid to come back, if they perform poorly in a season, they come back stronger the next season, this is the habit of Real Madrid and has been like this for a long time. Last season, Real Madrid could not achieve anything, next season you will see this team performing well in the Champions League as well as winning the La Liga title. Injuries in the team are normal but what happened with Real Madrid last season is expected. When a manager is preparing a team in the transfer window, he thinks that one or two players may be out of the field for the entire season due to injury, so every club keeps their substitutes on the bench, but Real Madrid also has four to five players from the starting XI out for a long time due to this injury. If this had not happened with Madrid, they would have performed well last season.

Real Madrid is a formidable legendary team no doubt, but I don’t think we can hype them up like this without seeing the workings, they’ve been great in the past and sometimes they dip form and come back but in those times they dominated Europe they didn’t dominate LaLiga. With what they have now I don’t see them winning the LaLiga or even the UEFA Champions League, they might be able to compete better this season but it’ll still be difficult to win a title, cos all other teams are also trying to do better.

Why will you say that Real Madrid didn't dominate Laliga. Can you tell me which club is dominating Laliga? Real Madrid have won 36 Laliga titles and Barcelona have won 28 titles, from my record who is the king of Laliga. In the past four seasons, these two clubs have been rotating the trophy within themselves. I believe that Real Madrid will shock a lot of people next season and make them speechless.

It's true that Madrid lost its dominance last season, and that's a normal topic to discuss since he have own perspective. We saw for ourselves how Madrid failed to win the Champions League and the domestic league last season, it can be said they are losing their dominance. I don't think what's he meant is all-time dominance, but rather a period of dominance last season, since he said

-snip- sometimes they dip form and come back but in those times they dominated Europe they didn’t dominate LaLiga.

So, from that posts its clear, not always but sometimes. Next season, they might regain their dominance again, i agree with you @Frankolala, but that's perfectly normal for me, if Madrid can dominate La Liga better next season if Xabi able to bring their team good to adapt his strategy.

The UEFA Champions League third qualifying round matches will be played tonight.

-Malmö vs Copenhagen
-Dynamo Kyiv vs Pafos
-FK Shkendija vs Qarabağ
-Rangers vs Viktoria Plzeň

I think the teams are fairly equal in terms of quality, so it's hard to predict who will win.
After these matches, there will be return legs, and the teams that advance will play another round to move further in the competition.

I'll cross it out.
Malmö vs Copenhagen.
Rangers vs Viktoria Plzeň.

They're too evenly matched in terms of strength, making it difficult to predict the final result in a 1x2 bet.

And this match has the potential to be profitable.



You can see that Dinamo Kiev and Qarabag are the favorites here, worthy enough to be included in the multi-bet with total odds of 2.86.
So? Is anyone interested? 

It’s the first time I’ve heard of FK Shkendija, and I’ve learned that they’re from North Macedonia.
In my opinion, Qarabağ is the favorite in this matchup. They have prior European experience and are the side more likely to win tonight.

I’d say Dynamo Kyiv has around a 60% chance of winning. While I don’t think Pafos is a bad team, Kyiv is slightly stronger overall.

As for the Malmö vs Copenhagen and Rangers vs Viktoria Plzeň matches — anything can happen in those games.
But I do think there will be at least one goal scored in each.

[Danica22]

Malmö vs Copenhagen.
Rangers vs Viktoria Plzeň.

It is very hard  to predict  these two matches in the UEFA lhampions League qualifying round. Because the teams are  almost equally strong. It is difficult to choose a favorite team between copenhagen and malmo. In the last 4 matches between these two teams , both have won one match and 2 matches have been drawn. Also  considering the recent form, I cannot choose a favorite team. The match is said to be more likely to be a draw.

On the other hand the situation is the same in the case of Rangers vs Viktoria Plzen. Both have the possibility of winning. However. I will probably bet on Viktoria plzen to win. I will keep it because I saw Viktoria Plzen's boys perform well against Servette in the second round match.

I have no doubt that Dynamo kyiv will win against  Pafps fc. Dynamo is a very strong team. We saw Dynamo play well in both matches of the second round...

[Pandu Geddon]

Yes, every match cannot be taken lightly. But I think Chelsea's performance is better than Tottenham's. PSG is definitely favored in that match. Even though they failed to win the Club World Cup trophy, their performance throughout the competition has been good. I just don't hope that Tottenham performs surprisingly. PSG will definitely not miss that opportunity.

With what I have seen so far with football, I can't write out the fact that anything can happen in that game, I mean no one actually gave Chelsea the benefit of doubt in the club world cup but against all odds they came victorious so who knows maybe Tottenham too can pull off such wonders besides they won Manchester united in the Europa league finals although you can't compare Manchester united to PSG but atleast it's still something.

I know that something we consider impossible can happen. And the only factor that clarifies the result of that miracle is PSG playing very poorly. Nothing else.
We know the quality of PSG and Tottenham, everything can change, but I don't expect the outcome to be too drastic. Because both teams are matched up in an interesting match, hopefully, everything will go well.

This is a very decent take on Madrid and to a far extent I agree to it, Madrid is not in  that very perfect form psychologically, they have the squad with very quality young talented players but they are yet to really liase properly for delivery and I agree they will be able to compete well but they may not be able to win trophies this season, maybe the La liga and they will be Good but I will not allow my hopes go high for the champions league because some other teams are as prepared going by their signings and team restructure.

[cande86]

Yes, of course they were betrayed by too much confidence and fell into the trap of Chelsea who understood that they could be beaten, Paris was unable to keep up the pace, it must be said that Chelsea arrived at the final challenge fresher, but the result would not have changed if there had been another team.

Chelsea saw the chance of proving to the world that they are back on top of the game in that match, because so many people underestimated them just like what PSG did. They were so mean and didn't give PSG any space of creating chances.

They ended PSG victorious moment so fast and easy. Because I believe that majority of the players and coach would still not believe what happened on that day. Football is full of surprises.

Due to the PSG performance and how they humiliated big teams which are currently in their best performance also gave fans more doubt about Chelsea victory but just as you said football is full of surprises. I will say almost 70 to 80% of football fans didn't see it coming because of the performance of the both teams. Chelsea wasn't in their best form while PSG was at the top of all the clubs that why so many football fans supported their victory due to their recent performance. Chelsea really make me proud on that day because they stopped PSG from consuming the entire English team, it wasn't funny when a team from farmers league was eaten up the best teams in the best league.

Chelsea had cleared so many doubt about PSG to win this season champions league. It was just a game both it equally means a lot for PSG because it will be history for them but unfortunately Chelsea ruined everything. It going to take time for them to repeat this again.

I was expecting it a bit and I have to say that Chelsea's victory didn't surprise me at all. I think Chelsea showed strong athletic preparation and that PSG greatly underestimated the English team, who prepared for the match in the best possible way. This year we'll see some great things from them, they can do great things.

[PremiumcryptoHub]

On this, we can all agree. Chelsea were the more prepared team in that fixture, after winning the first go conference league which didn’t hold much significance in the hearts of football lovers, the fans looked forward to seeing them on a big stage and against an elite team.
It felt a lot more unfortunate that they faced PSG at a time, a time when PSG was known for lashing out on just whom ever they are faced with but no, Chelsea didn’t left that happen. They were fierce all game and PSG couldn’t understand it. It’s a preparation that met an over confidence PSG and they lost.

To my knowledge football is full of surprises because that day Chelsea Football Club was able to stop the ferociously of the French club. Everyone was talking about French clubs, but where it was necessary to exert greater strength than that, only English clubs returned to their former glory. It is correct that since then Chelsea Football Club has been fierce in every match and they are challenging everyone to continue their pioneering march next season. Maybe there are many factors behind this club's decision because we can see that many players want to join them, meaning that Chelsea is willing to accept many of them.

That is why football is unpredictable, many fans didn't expect Chelsea will achieve the trophy because Psg as be in the best form in the tournament and everyone always believes that PSG are the favorites to achieve the trophy. and some are saying Chelsea didn't play with a big clubs that is the main reason they get the opportunity to reach the final and face PSG in the final. Many gamblers  have bet on psg to win the title even me I didn't believe that Chelsea will disgrace Psg in a easy way. Chelsea as really spend alot of money in transfers window and they need to be in a beat form and now they are showing the fans already.

Last two seasons, Chelsea spend alot of money but they fail to contribute very well. but this season they am sure they will be in a better shap and challenge any club that face them in the league and champions league competition. We can't call Chelsea a weak club anymore because they have achieved a great trophy that just a few club that actually get it before bringing the new strategies. Which how am seeing this season Chelsea will be among the best to win the league because there players are very young and talented, that will bring alot of victory to the club. Any player Chelsea coach see he will just achieve him they will just buy and build the player in the club. The coach is doing well and have first and second eleven. I think Chelsea have the highest players in the Epl currently.

We finally have some decent teams in this quali phase of UCL and I have a feeling Palos will win against Dinamo Kiev tonight and while bookies consider Dinamo as favorite , I think the other way and I see Palos having the better team right now and also favorites to qualify further.

Eyes on Shkendija as well because they eliminated FCSB ( our romanian champions ) and they might look like a strong team but Qarabag should be favorites in this one as they simply had massive luck against FCSB.

[yenerbatmaz]

FK Shekendija and Qarabağ will face off. While both teams appear equally strong, FK Shekendija defeated Steau Bucharest in the previous round and will now face Qarabağ.
Qarabağ enjoyed great success last year, but they will face a tougher team this time. I think Shekendija is the favorite. They will likely get a favorable score from the first leg.
Looking at the betting odds, Qarabağ is the heavy favorite, but I also think the home team, Shekendija, has very attractive odds. I think the home team will win the match.

By the way before the Champions League, we have some entertainment. A UEFA Super Cup game between PSG and Tottenham...



Here is the odds for the winner. Nothing surprising first of all. We have already watched PSG in the CWC as well. They generally looked quite decent.

I don't think Tottenham players would be more prepared for this game. But just for fun, 4.00 odds look great though. 

If we draw parallels, why can't Tottenham do what Chelsea did in the World Cup final?  
At that time I reasoned like this: the odds on Chelsea are very attractive, maybe they will be able to dry out the game and hold out until the penalty shootout where they will be lucky, why not. And in the end it all ended with a quick victory for Chelsea in regular time  
I don't even know what to think here. 22% is a small profit for a big risk, but perhaps PSG has drawn conclusions and the game in the Super Cup will be at a different level of readiness?

If this had not happened with Madrid, they would have performed well last season.

I share your view. When we talk about Real Madrid, it's almost always the same as before. If they fail one season, they'll surely improve the next. Even with a new coach, Real Madrid always learns from the previous season and evaluates their weaknesses for the next season. This can be seen in the signing of several new players to cover for last season's weaknesses.

Real Madrid is known as the "kings of the Champions League." So, with this mentality instilled by the club in every player, I predict Real Madrid under Xabi Alanso will be even stronger next season. Yes, Real Madrid's priority every year is the Champions League trophy. Regardless of the coach, their main goal is the Champions League.

As usual, as I said between Chelsea and PSG, I will also say it here, even if my words are dismissed, it doesn't really matter.

• This is finals
• The last finals Tottenham played they won
• The last final PSG played, they lose.
• Both are European champions
• I have watched Tottenham pre-season and I would say that they are more solid than last season. So, we might all be greeted with surprises. Although it doesn't happen everyday because PSG is a good side.

If this had not happened with Madrid, they would have performed well last season.

Madrid is a good team with a rich history on success in UCL no doubt, they had a bad season previously and are gearing up for a better season ahead, I would also point out that other clubs are all fortifying their team for the season ahead. It is too early to predict their success. One thing I know is that the UCL this season would be very fierce and competitive with several team boost across qualifying teams in various leagues. I think we just have to wait for the competition to start and with the level of Real Madrid demonstrate, only then would you start making rational predictions on their possible achievements in the UCL 2025/2026, for now there is no performance data to predict their success as most clubs participating still possess what it takes to win the trophy.

It would be nothing short of crazy and bad spell on PSG if they allow a repeat of what Chelsea did to them in this final as well. The PSG team would fight with the last drop of their blood to clinch this trophy. No doubt Tottenham is stronger this season judging from their pre-season matches but I don't see them being of such good quality to beat PSG who would never want to lose a second final in a row.

My stake goes to PSG, their odds are very small but I am more convinced they are winning this final than I am on Tottenham.

Feyenoord and Fenerbahçe will meet in the 3rd Qualifying Round of the Champions League. Feyenoord lost important players in the preparation period. Fenerbahçe, on the other hand, added a star like Jhon Duran. Also, Mourinho has usually succeeded in his second year in charge. This season his idea of Fenerbahçe will be clearer.

Feyenoord were involved in scoring matches in the friendlies. Fenerbahçe, on the other hand, beat Lazio in their last match. Feyenoord are likely to play with pace at home. Fenerbahçe will respond to this tempo with their attacking power. I can already tell that it will be a back and forth scoreline. Fenerbahçe is very close to making a surprise in this match.

[pewboy]

PSG was fierce but become a cooler team when they met Chelsea, their rival. Enzo Maresca is the best man to stand out and win games, we've watch more happenings at Stamford Bridge, winnings will always come after putting together a consistent team. Chelsea silent the world when they thrashed Paris Saint-Germain in the Clud world cup final 3 nil. This is what we're talking about, watching the Blues coming out ontop with good standards. They've been doing what they do best and that's winning matches. All I can say is get ready for the Blues next season because we're all aware of what Enzo Maresca and Todd Boehly are cooking.

They have made a real climb towards the Olympus of the greats and they have succeeded with consistency and perseverance, this is not a given, this is certainly a mentality given by the coach, I think that the new purchases will arrive, or at least I hope so for them, because if they deserve it

[LUCKMCFLY]

Almost all of Real Madrid's players have speed, and a slow playing style actually makes them more not effective.

You're right, but Madrid's style focused on being a little slower thanks to Ancelotti, where they basically made good use of the midfield but now football is very fast, if you compare it to Barcelona's football you have to be fast and the forwards have to help defend, and generally Madrid's forwards don't do it, Vinicius doesn't help and that's negative, for me if he doesn't collaborate he shouldn't come on, Xabi has the same idea, so Xabi is building a totally integrated team without egos.

Fenerbahçe will respond to this tempo with their attacking power. I can already tell that it will be a back and forth scoreline. Fenerbahçe is very close to making a surprise in this match.

I don't think Fenerbahçe is ready for the season. Their performance in friendly matches wasn't bad, but when it comes to Champions League matches, there's always a chance for a team to falter. This is one of the biggest problems with Turkish teams. If this had been a friendly, they might have easily won, but I think Fenerbahçe will struggle in this match.
I hope I'm wrong about this and Fenerbahçe wins this match to advance to the next round. I want to see a team that's successful in Europe now
