UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Black Mbaye]

The second leg of the qualifying matches is now very close. The next stage will be determined with the UCL qualifying matches starting tomorrow. The Fenerbahçe-Feyenoord match will be a game to watch out for. Fenerbahçe lost the first leg, and Jose Mourinho is very optimistic about this one. He's confident in the Istanbul atmosphere and hopes they'll win. Hopefully, their expectations will come true, and they'll win by showcasing some good football.

Yes, Chelsea have really improved and this year they can return to the ranks of the big clubs in the Premier League and in Europe. They have amply demonstrated this and are still demonstrating it. I, on the other hand, think that Paris will suffer a regression, citing the team they beat.

PSG, who were defeated by Chelsea in the Club World Cup, will not immediately experience a setback when competing in the Champions League next season. PSG will also strive to win the Champions League trophy again, although it will be very difficult for PSG, as several other teams will also be doing the same next season. But generally speaking, PSG will not be immediately weakened just because of their defeat to Chelsea, although I also admit that Chelsea have indeed made quite positive changes recently.

I don't think PSG will get the opportunity to win the Champions League this coming season anymore, because they are some big club that will definitely challenge them this time around, and try there best to stop them from winning it this season. Psg as not won Champions league trophy before that is the main reason they do all there best to achieve it against inter Milan. But am very sure that psg won't be the favorite to achieve the trophy this season anymore. They are some club that are really preparing for the Champions League this time. Barcelona as failed last season with all there performance inter Milan eliminate them, new season is hear again and am thinking that Hansi Flick goals now is to achieve the Champions league trophy for Barcelona this season.

Manchester City are in a bad form last season and Guadiola will Really do is best to win the ucl this season and Madrid's have achieve new coach and xabi Alonso is training the players very well and this season will be very tough, know any club will try to giveup and make the opponent get the opportunity to win the ucl trophy. Chelsea didn't win league and champions league but at last they get the big cup that many clubs are praying for to achieve CWC. And many club that do well last season will do more better to win the ucl. So I don't think that PSG will get the opportunity they get to win the ucl last season they will get it these time around again, let wait how the competition will goes and see which club will be the favorite to win it this time around.

I agree with you that the Champions League is comprises of all big and best teams across Europe, but I don’t agree with you that Chelsea is not one of them because Chelsea is a big team because it has won the Champions League before now and can win it again.
With this current Chelsea squad, I am sure they will go very far in the champions league next season.

Chelsea are two times champions league winners therefore nobody should be saying Chelsea isn't a big team. Not many teams have won more trophies than Chelsea. Just because they were going through some difficult times doesn't mean they're not a big club. An example is Manchester United, they have been awfully recently but still a big team. History can't just be forgotten because it's history that makes clubs big. There are some clubs that are just becoming big recently but the ones that have being doing it for a long time can't be disregarded. Chelsea have a good squad now and I won't be surprised if Chelsea end up winning the champions league.

What makes you think that you Chelsea squad can bring the Champions League home when it's been a while that they found themselves in the semifinals. Let's not get it twisted, no club can wake up from their slumber after a long time and boom win the Champions League, it's not possible because this is not Europa League. For any club to win UCL, you must be consistently fighting for it and reaching the semifinals stages before you can be a champion. How long has PSG been fighting for it before they finally won it.

We can't just look at a team's past history, but we must also be realistic about their strengths. Admittedly, Chelsea's strength is now very strong, and they have made significant improvements. Therefore, Chelsea is worth considering in the race for the Champions League title this season.
It's also important to remember that the competition in the Champions League is fierce and full of surprises. No one can be underestimated, so with Chelsea's current strengths, they deserve to be considered.

What prove do we have that Chelsea is very strong to the point that they can win UCL. Winning PSG in the CMC finals is not a guarantee that Chelsea have improved and stronger than the rest clubs that will participate in the Champions League competition. Don't forget that other clubs too have become stronger than before.

Why are you downplaying the obvious?? If you watch Chelsea matches even of recent, you'll see that the boys are prepared to rock and roll. There's no guarantee for any team to win the UCL, but winning the UCL champions in the CWC final is surely a very good sign.

Chelsea has all it takes now to clinch that title. The major setback they've always had was a weak striking force but they've managed to strengthen it with 3 strikers from the transfer window and they're good to go. They're in good form, so the possibilities are evident.

Winning PSG in the CMC finals is not a guarantee that Chelsea have improved and stronger than the rest clubs that will participate in the Champions League competition. Don't forget that other clubs too have become stronger than before.

Winning the Champions league is not something that is impossible for Chelsea because they have improved a lot and was able to defeat and outplayed the best thing in Europe last season to win the Club World Cup so that is prove enough to say they are capable of winning it although it won't be easy at all because we have a lot of strong teams in the competition. You should understand that winning the Champions league doesn't mean the team is the best and strongest among all teams, we have seen some other clubs win it when they are by far the best team.

Chelsea is a much-improved team, as we saw in the last CWC tournament. They crushed Paris Saint-Germain in the final. It wasn't a simple, fluke win; they dominated the match. With these qualities, it's clear they'll be one of the most feared teams in this year's UCL. A team that easily beats PSG can beat any team in the world.

You're right they dominated against PSG and scored 3 goals. PSG was at their best form and Chelsea was able to dominate them so they are definitely a strong team now and can challenge for the champions league title next season

With the current form of Chelsea, I believe they are capable of winning the champions league this upcoming season. Chelsea has really assembled a couple of good talented and hungry young players who are ready to play and give it their all In the pitch, they are young and are hungry for success, they have demonstrated their resilience in the club World Cup and beat PSG to the title. This season I believe that Chelsea will fight for the champions league trophy and also will want to win the English Premier.

It's true that Chelsea has been improving in their performances in recent times but there is still long time to go the Season is just starting so let see how the team will fare let not use the performance of few matches to conclude because winning the champions League is one big tax that doesn't come easily

The Champions League has also become more challenging. Sometimes, matches we'd normally see in the semifinals or finals are now in the knockout round of eight. Chelsea must first get through this stage. Then, their title chances can be discussed. Their victory over Paris Saint-Germain is on everyone's lips. Therefore, teams will be taking extra precautions against them, especially Palmer.

[GbitG]

Chelsea have seen steady improvement since Maresca's arrival, and their success in winning the Club World Cup should be a good indicator that they can do the same in next season's Champions League.
You're right, as you said, Chelsea shouldn't be underestimated. Personally, I'm quite confident in Chelsea, and they deserve to be placed among the favorites to win next season's Champions League. If that happens, it wouldn't be a surprise, as Chelsea have a pretty strong squad right now.

Since Maresca took the head position at Chelsea, it has been a progressive growth, one that has been consistently reviving the team in almost every area where in they were dieing off, I love it that now they have a trophy that has added to boosting their confidence enough for them to even do better in this new season at the premier and champions league but I do not trust them enough to win the champions league but may possibly attempt the premier league and finish decently.

Indeed Chelsea have made a lot of improvement in their performance, and honestly they are looking so good in terms of performance. Right now this season they can win something good like Premier League titles, etc. but honestly if we talked about the UEFA Champions League titles, then apprantly it would be hard to speculation that who will be the winner because this season there are many other team who are in intense push to grab the UEFA Champions League titles. Such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG etc.... and I don't think that Chelsea would be good enough to play against them or defeat them.

The rest of Chelsea is a good team. After the arrival of Maresca, Chelsea has lost its poor quality and adopted a better version which can definitely increase their chance for league titles winner....

Chelsea must first get through this stage. Then, their title chances can be discussed. Their victory over Paris Saint-Germain is on everyone's lips. Therefore, teams will be taking extra precautions against them, especially Palmer.

The Champions League has become so challenging these days that the dominant battles that used to take place in the semi-finals and finals are now played out in the knockout stages, so it can be said that Chelsea Football Club must cope well with this stage and then increase their chances of winning the UCL Trophy. They have recently been able to take home the trophy at the Club World Cup because of this, their victory is now in everyone's face and every team now sees them as a threat, so maybe everyone will try to deal with them properly, therefore Palmer and the new players joining this transfer summer will have to step up to a higher level of responsibility. But it is safe to say that Cole Palmer may be able to show off his experience as he is currently playing at the same pace in friendly matches.

Uefa champions league is exactly the beauty of football in the sense that the best teams in every leagues challenges each other in the game i cant wait to shout goal.... i believe Chelsea will win this one

I recall Chelsea is not a title contender for UCL this season. They have very young squad, and lack of exp in UCL. So, i doubt them to compete for the title race, but i don't underrated them consider they sometimes created a surprise.
Beating PSG in CWC may be the only reason why they're still worthy enough to consider. I hope your wish will be coming true, though the chance is literally small.

Even though Chelsea squad is very young and lacks UEFA Champions League experience, that's not enough reason to write them off in winning the UEFA Champions League trophy next season. Football is now full of surprises; nobody believed PSG would win the UEFA Champions League trophy and Chelsea would win the Club World Cup trophy. I believe Chelsea has a big chance of winning the UEFA Champions League trophy next season if they are consistent in winning their matches in the UEFA Champions League competition next season.

It's too early to say who will be crowned champions or who will potentially compete for the Champions League title. Anything can happen, especially considering that PSG and Chelsea have already won the Champions League and Club World Cup, respectively. This doesn't guarantee similar success next season. Although they have won the title, that doesn't mean we shouldn't forget about other big teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, and others, who they believe also have the chance and potential to compete for the title with their new strategies and squads. We'll see how things develop once the competition starts and see if there are any other surprises.

The second leg of the qualifying matches is now very close. The next stage will be determined with the UCL qualifying matches starting tomorrow. The Fenerbahçe-Feyenoord match will be a game to watch out for. Fenerbahçe lost the first leg, and Jose Mourinho is very optimistic about this one. He's confident in the Istanbul atmosphere and hopes they'll win. Hopefully, their expectations will come true, and they'll win by showcasing some good football.

Today is the day to witness the team that will qualify to the Champions League, this game will be very tough more than the first round, first round was full of drama and late goals with a good performance from both teams, Feyenoord used used their opponents of playing at home with good defending to defeat Fenerbahce in the first round of the game 2:1, the second round will be play in Fenerbahçe home today and that shows that Fenerbaçhe can still qualify if they defeat Feyenoord.

This is a very important game for Jose Mourinho and his to qualify for Champions League this season, Fenerbaçhe can do it if they perform well and play like a team that wants to qualify for Champions League, Feyenoord has shown that they are not a small team and if Fenerbaçhe doesn’t play well they will get eliminated by Feyenoord and only play their league games this season.

[Solokan]

Since PSG won the Champions League last season. And they did not make any changes in the squad. So it is expected that we will see a stable performance of PSG in the next season. PSG has an experienced coach like Luis Enrique. But Real Madrid, Chelsea, Liverpool and City have all tried to strengthen their squad. Also Barcelona and Munich are also very strong. So the road to win the Champions League again for PSG is very difficult. Even my guess is that PSG will not be able to win the Champions League next season. They may be able to qualify for the semi-finals.

It does seem like PSG hasn't brought in many new players, unlike other teams, which are trying to bring in many new players and ultimately improve their performance. However, it does seem like PSG was initially overconfident with their existing players, but in reality, like when they lost against Chelsea in the Club World Cup, it certainly shows that PSG will struggle to win trophies next season. Big clubs, like those you mentioned, will certainly be obstacles for PSG. I also have a feeling that PSG will struggle to win the UCL trophy next season. But of course, we'll see. Last season, no one expected PSG to win the Champions League, as reaching the round of 16 was very difficult.

But of course, Luis Enrique is a professional coach and will certainly do his job well. PSG will certainly remain a team that many teams will be wary of. It's true, as you said, because PSG does have the potential to advance to the semifinals.

[Lillominato89]

Tonight is the return match of the next Champions League qualifiers.
I would like to make a few bets, but these are teams I don't follow much or even at all
Have you made any small bets? On what? Give me some ideas guys

I was intending to bet on Benfica vs Nice. The first leg ended 2-0 to Benfica, I would be inclined to bet on a double chance.

Competitions are meant to be tough, I love what these competitions are becoming and not when there were obvious favorites in matches, recently, everybody including the perceived underdogs are all putting up a fight to claim some recognition. even the community shield was stolen from Liverpool by Crystal Palace once again reminding the favorites that no one has a birthright to any trophy anymore. In the coming season a lot of surprises would unfold and unimaginable teams would stand up to stronger teams leaving the perceived stronger teams to fight hard to reclaim their dominance. Chelsea is in form, same as many other teams that qualified for the UCL, for every of them, full time of play would decide, so let's brace up to watch, gamble and get entertained.

Every season, there always a team that manages to steal the show by defeating the big boys, And that's what we witnessed last season. I think the competition this season will be even more exciting, especially with Chelsea return to the Champions League. We're certainly eager to see their progress in this prestigious league.

Even the favorites in the Champions League, like real madrid, barcelona, and manchester city, won't have an easy time reaching the final; other teams will certainly try hard to beat them. PSG, too, has grown stronger with the changes made in the transfer market, but to defend their title, they'll need to work even harder this season. I predict juventus and Inter milan will provide many surprises this season, especially since Inter milan has consistently provided a lot of luck for bettors who pick them as winners in their matches.

[Tamaperdana]

However, with the players Real Madrid has brought in this season, it's possible they'll see a change in form. But for now, I personally don't know what Real Madrid's performance will be like in the Champions League next season. Because, the rival teams Real Madrid might face are certainly stronger than they were last season. So with this in mind, at this time Real Madrid cannot be said to be a team that can win everything.

Bringing in new players is mainly because they want to see some chances in areas where they hope to see changes, Madrid did not need too many changes but players who can blend into the new coaches system and that is one of the reasons Madrid had to get some new players and lay off others, the champions league this season looks like one which is going to be very intriguing and it is the second edition of this format of the Champions league and seeing how busy the transfer window has been , if Madrid must win the champions league this time they will have to earn it.

Yes, I agree with you on this point, but I'm still not entirely convinced that Real Madrid can win the Champions League next season. Since Xabi Alonso took over, I haven't seen any significant progress. Therefore, I think Real Madrid needs more than just bringing in new players to improve their performance. Regarding the players who have already left Real Madrid, I don't think they've made a significant contribution. Therefore, it's natural for Real Madrid to sell them.



Besides that, tonight there's a Champions League qualifying round 3 match. I'm personally quite interested in watching Fenerbahçe vs Feyenoord, as I'm confident it will be a very close match. The current aggregate score between the two teams is very close, just one goal. So, given this, it's certain to be a very close match. For this match, I'll be betting on Fenerbahçe. Even though it is true that Fenerbahce lost in the first leg, I am sure that Fenerbahce will definitely win in the second leg.

You can't really replace Kroos anymore, not because they couldn't get a player, but because there aren't that many Pirlo/Kroos type of style players left in the world. I try to think, and when I come up with any names, they are just not as good as Real Madrid level, so there aren't any teams that are at Real Madrid level AND play like Kroos, it just doesn't exist.

Even if Real would be ok to pay up 1 billion dollars for a player like that, or like just give the whole team for it, it just doesn't exist. So they can't really get anyone. So they have to just play with the players that they have, that makes more sense. I am sure that they are going to end up with more troubles if they are not careful, so they need to consider this as something that can benefit them financially if they avoid spending more, and just focus on making their own players work.

[SatoPrincess]

Chelsea is not a champions League title contender because they don't have the squad depth to do that as their players are young and inexperienced I know that most Chelsea fans are carried away by their recent success but that should not deceive them.



The champions League comprise of the best teams across Europe and will need more than just a young team with to win there is a whole lot of things to consider like having the right winning mentality, experience etc which this present Chelsea team doesn't have

I can remember hearing similar statements before the club world cup until chelsea beat the odds to lift the trophy, I can’t believe this statements are coming up again. Let me ask, what does it take to win the champions league because in my opinion it takes a group of talented players with determination and good tactics to win and Chelsea tick these boxes for me so I don’t really get it.

[yenerbatmaz]

Fenerbahçe will face Feyenoord in their rematch, a match they lost 2-1 to. It will be a tough match, and Fenerbahçe could be eliminated from the Champions League today. John Duran is expected to start at forward.
Talisca, who is coming off injury, is also expected to replace İrfan, but I hope that doesn't happen. Talisca has a good shot and effective free-throw shooting, but he's not a player who runs the pitch or presses. Starting Talisca against a dynamic, running team like Feyenoord would be a disaster. It would be more logical to substitute him in the final 30 minutes of the game depending on the scoreline, but having him on from the start is a huge gamble.
I hope Fenerbahçe, whom I support, advances this round.
