UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Baki202]

Chelsea are in a very good form at the moment. If Chelsea face Barcelona or Bayern Munich then maybe the match will be a very strong match for Chelsea. But I think Chelsea will win. Chelsea are in a very good form at the moment. Every player of Chelsea is in a very good form. Although Barcelona or Bayern Munich are playing very well. But it is not possible to say for sure what will happen or not. Because both teams are very good and strong. And it is never possible to say when what will happen on the field of play.

And since Chelsea won the FIFA World Cup, they have been trying to be consistent this season, and there are other clubs that are now awake because if Chelsea is going to face clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich, then it's going to be an interesting game because these are the clubs that we can actually say something good about for now, and we don't know what my club might be cooking, but we should not just underestimate other clubs because it is only the ones we have seen that we can talk about.

And even the way people are so much anticipating that Chelsea might win the Champions League is actually crazy, but I feel it is too early to be determining all these things, so there is a better way we can do the analysis because when the league gets serious, there are people that are more active than Chelsea, but they are not showcasing yet, and Chelsea is just doing all this because the league is not yet at its peak. That is when we are going to know.

Chelsea have the history of winning the Champions League in the condition of the team not going well in the English League, but this season cannot be used as a reference that Chelsea can repeat the same thing. The midfield is indeed quite crucial because it is the brain of a series of attacks that are trying to be built and if the attack line is creative enough in building attacks it will be easier for strikers to score goals. Of course all crucial positions in football and I don't think Chelsea have not lacked good players, it's just that so far it has not been fully maximized in contributing to the team.

Chelsea have made quite a number of changes to their squad from last season, it is normal that after making many changes that they team will need time to play together and build good team chemistry so I think Chelsea are currently lacking that connection between the players especially the incomings. Let?s see how quickly and well they can blend in and make maximum impact this season.

Many times new arrivals change the fate of a team because they don't find much affinity with each other, but I have to say that there are many players who, once in the team, manage to do very well and have fun and make others have fun and play well with their teammates too, so it's not a given that they don't get along well with each other.

In this case, PSG may be the best example, at one time PSG spent a lot of money to bring the world's biggest stars to their team just to surprise the football world and improve the club, but PSG did not improve there. The reason is that although the club had good quality, each player did not have a good relationship with each other, which is why no one helped each other on the field and this affected the team. There are many differences between PSG at that time and PSG today. The current PSG team may not have such a big star, but now everyone who plays for this team has a good relationship with each of the players, which is why the team's performance is now much better. That is why before bringing a player to the club, the manager must think about whether the person they are bringing will be able to have a good relationship with everyone or whether all the other players in the team will be able to accept this player.

According to what I've seen on social media, it seems like Ranger fans aren't happy with their team's performance either. Some of them blame the coach, while others blame the players. It feels very unhealthy atm, which is expected to happen if your team loses and has bad form. At the end of the day, recruitment is usually one of those problems. Not sure if they can salvage it this season. Even their league form is pretty bad, let alone UCL qualifiers.

I don't know why they underestimate all the competitions like this, they have had a significant decline and it can be seen and felt in all the challenges they have to face, I'm not saying that they should aim to win the Champions League but at least work towards a better form.

That is when we are going to know.

Chelsea management has tried their best to make stronger their squad. But we still do not know how strong the team is. Chelsea could not play well in the first match against Crystal palace. On the other hand , the team performed brilliantly against West Ham in the second match. Chelsea won the match by a big margin of 5- 1. Chelsea's overall performance is still a bit erratic. For that reason, Chelsea cannot be considered as a favorite for the Champions League yet. If they want to do well in the Champions League, they will have to continue their good performance consistently. I still have doubts about Chelsea's ability. Anyway, there is still a lot of time left before the Champions League starts. For this reason, it is not possible to make predictions so quickly about how Chelsea will perform in the Champions League.

Barcelona is not invincible, Chelsea beat PSG in the Club World Cup, and Barcelona didn't even reach the UCL final, so there's no need to be upset because they drew Barcelona, ​​I hate that they drew Barcelona, ​​it shows what they're made of, Barcelona is a great team, but if Chelsea is good they have to play against the good ones, and if they're good they should get through without any problems, in football you can't and shouldn't ever be afraid.

I don't know how some persons are looking at this things, do they think Chelsea can not beat Barcelona, I won't argue that Barcelona is not a good team, we already know that Barcelona is has a team and if we look at Chelsea we can also bold to say the same, trying to see a team less than the other resulted to Chelsea making good effort to defeat PSG in the club world cup, many football lover belittled Chelsea the bit what happened at the end, am not bothered about Chelsea having to face Barcelona, I also know that Chelsea as a team will prepare very well that battle, moresca already know the team his going to come in contact with, football is about expecting the unimaginable.

It didn't happen like that and it's a shame though because Benfica won and it made Mourinho furious because he didn't manage the team well, but it must also be said that Benfica were more of a team than them, it made me laugh a lot how they reacted to Talisca's red card

I understand that feeling from both the manager and fans but the truth is, even on paper, Benfica is a better team than  Fenerbahçe. I already knew that was the end of the road for Mourinho and his boys when I saw the fixture. Just this morning it's been reported that Mourinho has been sacked by the clubs management. Mourinho is now without a club and a free agent as at this moment.

I saw the news on Mourinho's sack and I wasn't surprised myself, first he hasn't met the expectations of fenerbahçe in last one year, coupled with the fact that he didn't make it to the champions league. I think fenerbahçe have endure him and his shenanigans enough, so they had to let him go. it's just unfortunate that the special one is drifting as the days goes by, he used to have the technical fire power to built a solid team, but all that is in the past now. He would definitely find another Job, but he needs to come back to winning ways.

[hyudien]

I'm a little sad about the end that Mourinho has had, he was a great coach and this exit like this makes him lose a bit of credibility and now I don't know if other teams can hire him to continue a path with him, he has lost a lot of appeal and the teams don't want him anymore.

Yes, it is understandable how you feel about Mourinho dismissal but I think it was the right decision from Ali Koc. Since Mou took over Fenerbahce, he has not achieved anything and it is also a clear sign that Mou magic hand is no longer as great as before, but I am sure he will quickly find a new club and there is a possibility of teams from the Arab League (Mourinho can create his success there).

Real Madrid weren't suffering from injury woes alone but also they had a manager last season who was poor tactically. I also hate that a lot of football fans have refused to say and point this out like they do with managers like Erik ten Hag. Ancelotti saw his best defenders injured quite correct and also he was tactically poor last season. Two truths can exist, it's difficult to accept but this is pure facts and I don't lie.

Yes, well basically it's like they say in my town: the desire to eat came together with hunger, apart from the fact that they didn't know how to make good strategies or keep up with the pace that football demanded at that time because they didn't understand it, they had injuries, but Madrid never lost, in their worst season they finished in respectable positions in the league and the UCL, apart from that they went to the Club World Cup, and that's only 1 season where they were bad, ETH was bad in all the PL seasons.

Maybe if Mourinho succeeds in qualifying Fenerbahçe for the Champions League, the club would still give him a chance. But given that they did not qualify and their early performance in the league is not good enough, the club does not want to take the risk of keeping him longer. He may not deliver anything for Fenerbahçe if retained until the end of the season. Moreover, rumors regarding Mourinho's position have actually been in the media since the end of last season. And now Fenerbahçe has made a decision.

This will be one of the best games of the season, Chelsea vs Barcelona, and Barcelona vs PSG game will be very interesting to watch, before the UEFA Champions League draw, Chelsea and Barcelona fans wanted to play against each other, and Barcelona wanted to face PSG as well, I think now the fans will be happy because they get what they want, ...

This Paris Saint Germans group is undoubtedly the strongest group in this year's Uefa Champions League competition. Barcelona facing the defending champions Paris Saint Germans and Chelsea tells it that they've gotten their desires  come to pass with both clubs having history with Barcelona. What makes this fixtures interesting is that the three clubs are all in good shape with their form and we are going to well entertained.

After PSG and Chelsea, I don't see Barcelona having any strong opponents to play with in the group stage, I believe Barcelona will still have an easy spot this season, Real Madrid continues to face Manchester City every season, UEFA should do better next season to prevent Real Madrid vs Manchester City from taking place because it now looks like a derby match between the two teams.

Don't write off any club in the Uefa Champions League they didn't get to the competition at random and while you can not see a quality squad in them it does not mean they can't completely make an upset. I was not happy with the early Manchester city and Real Madrid fixtures too, their meeting should have been a bit later than this.

Both Barcelona and Chelsea fans have high expectations for their teams to win in this match, and I'm not surprised about that because they're both in their best form this season with top players. Looking at their football pattern of play and scoring ability, Barcelona has an advantage over Chelsea. Chelsea is also effective in front of goal, but not to Barcelona's level, likely due to selfish play from their players. I'm certain Barcelona will dominate possession in the match, given their midfield superiority over Chelsea. However, Chelsea's strong defensive marking could be a significant challenge.

And even the way people are so much anticipating that Chelsea might win the Champions League is actually crazy, but I feel it is too early to be determining all these things, so there is a better way we can do the analysis because when the league gets serious, there are people that are more active than Chelsea, but they are not showcasing yet, and Chelsea is just doing all this because the league is not yet at its peak.

Anyway, there is still a lot of time left before the Champions League starts. For this reason, it is not possible to make predictions so quickly about how Chelsea will perform in the Champions League.

Last season Chelsea was considered the most underrated team by other teams and all parties. However that proved to be an unexpected weapon for Chelsea, as they won the Europa Conference League and the CWC. Of course they will continue to strive for this success especially since they also started the season well. So, it's natural that many people have made them one of the favorites to win the Champions League this season, as Chelsea's performance has improved dramatically so far.

Yes, of course consistency will be the benchmark for winning the Champions League, but at least so far Chelsea has sent a message to other teams that they will pose a real threat to their favorites.

You don't think Chelsea should be among the top 5 favourite teams to win the UCL this season or what. They have made a tremendous performance in their last season campaign surviving in the top 4 in the EPL, winning the conference league and going further to challenge PSG to win the club world cup tournament. This is enough achievements to put them among the favourites, early or not. Chelsea will give us a beautiful performance this season as they have really improved to withstand any team in the UCL this season.

Chelsea is really trying their best now and their performance has improved a lot since last season  and the fact they won the Club World Cup shows that they are really up to the task to challenge these teams and perform well in the champions league but we can't be so sure that they will will against Barcelona and Bayern Munich because these two teams are really good teams with great players. The games will be tough games as expected especially that one against Barcelona because Barcelona is also a team in very good form too.

And we don't know what my club might be cooking, but we should not just underestimate other clubs because it is only the ones we have seen that we can talk about.

And even the way people are so much anticipating that Chelsea might win the Champions League is actually crazy, but I feel it is too early to be determining all these things

The team to win will really depends on the team that is doing well at that moment. Both teams are doing well now and things might change before that then.

Definitely too early to say Chelsea will win the champions league, they can win it but it won't be easy especially with the league going on their focus will be divided and injuries can also come in so we can't say for now.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Barcelona got a great draw there. Yeah, Chelsea and PSG are hard ones. But the rest isn't that challenging. They only need to improve their defending these days.    That performance vs Levante in defense was just terrible...

Market value is meaningless, let's assume a team gets Messi and Ronaldo and 9 other guys that are playing in the 4th amateur division in Thailand, that against a team worth half of that, would that be a total onslaught?
Plus, there is another thing, let's take Martin Ødegaard for example, he was worth 8 million in 2019, he was worth 90 million in 2023, common, he wasn't 10 times better, isn't it?

Either way results speak for themselves!

In terms of that, you are right of course. I didn't want to mean that in fact. I just thought the general player quality of Kairat wasn't better than Celtic normally. And it looks like it's the same for bookies also.

But yeah, Celtic just played too badly. It was well deserved for the Kazakhstan club.

After PSG and Chelsea, I don't see Barcelona having any strong opponents to play with in the group stage, I believe Barcelona will still have an easy spot this season, Real Madrid continues to face Manchester City every season, UEFA should do better next season to prevent Real Madrid vs Manchester City from taking place because it now looks like a derby match between the two teams.

I was not happy with the early Manchester city and Real Madrid fixtures too, their meeting should have been a bit later than this.

That's right, history has proven time and time again that clubs that are underestimated because they may have been at the bottom of the table last season will not necessarily perform the same way as before. Anything can happen on the field. As i have said many times, the ball is round, and nothing is impossible if the opposing team plays with discipline and motivation. We don't know how hard their squad has been training to compete for this season's trophy.

Regarding the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City, it must be acknowledged that this is beyond expectations, as if they are meeting too soon. But this is what makes the competition even more exciting; there are many unpredictable things that can happen.

[KingsDen]

Champions league is on, the tension is getting high. The questions going on everywhere is who will win the league? There's one thing that I believe which is that PSG would not make it far in the tournament because their team doesn't look as it was last season. The whole games is going to be thrilling but I think teams like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Liverpool stand a chance of making it to possible semi finals. Let's wait and see how it goes but Bayern Munich stands a chance based on their current form now.

I do not understand this draw, I have been looking at it and trying to understand it based on the Champions League new format but it seems that I cannot understand it. I will appreciate if anyone will explain it for me. The other day I was watching the Champions League draw and they didn't conclude that day so how was expecting to see the comprehensive Champions League draw in the photo. Although after this post I will still have to study it and see if I will understand it very well.

Talking about PSG and their form this season, I might not agree with you that they have lost form just because they lost the club World Cup to Chelsea. Those guys might not win the champions league but they will do very well.

[Jaycoinz]

Well there is nothing thats impossible with a good performance although the Champions League is no easy task at all to win but if there are persistent and active with their performance then winning the Champions League is for sure certain for them to win but they would need to be consistent with the gameplay because alot can change in the near future that might affect their good performance like injury and the rest.

[LUCKMCFLY]

All teams that qualify for the Champions League have the potential to surprise. We should never underestimate these teams, as every team will have worked incredibly hard to get there.

I think the Same as you Things are Always very different for People who believe that Teams can be of a low level and you just Have to look at the Example of the Club World Cup , who won ? Chelsea and Chelsea didn't Even win the UCL , so every Team has the Capacity to Surprise.

UEFA has issued Barcelona a firm ultimatum to Barcelona to resolve their financial plans for the 2025/26 Champions League. The club has faced significant challenges in completing the first phase of renovations of the Camp Nou, struggling with construction delays and pending clearances. UEFA has issued a directive, setting September 21st as deadline for Barcelona to confirm their home stadium for the Champions League group phase. If they pick a particular stadium, they must stick to it at least till after the group stage phase as UEFA prohibits mid-phase venue shift.
