UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Republikcoin.com]

Let's not joke, Arsenal will never reach the final stage of the competition, the Champions League this year already knows who will go to the final and it certainly won't be Arsenal, with this I'm not saying that there is an agreement to make a particular team win, but there are several before Arsenal

Which team do you think will reach the Champions League final this season, excluding Arsenal? I don't have much faith in Arsenal's chances of reaching the Champions League final. However, if Arsenal manages to reach the Champions League final this season, I'll consider it a huge stroke of luck for Arsenal, as it's not just due to Arsenal's ability but also due to mistakes made by other teams that allowed Arsenal to progress and win the rounds leading up to the final. However, I'd like to know which team you'd favor in this season's Champions League.

By the way, one of the opening games is Athletic Bilbao - Arsenal.

Arsenal are given 2.04 odds. Bookmakers also think this will be a tight one. I agree with that as well. Have you seen the way the Spanish side started this season? 3 wins in 3 games...

Of course their opponents haven't been as strong as Arsenal. But I don't think they will give up that easy at home. I might still bet on Arsenal at such lovely odds which would be hard to find when it is at Emirates.

This is a valid point as there are stronger European giants in the Champions League and Arsenal not being able to bring home a trophy over past years though registering outstanding performance and consistent gameplay.

Winning the Premier league trophy should come first before considering to win the Champions League and that is definitely no easy fit with the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona and the rest. Arsenal can be prospective contenders but winning the trophy requires another level of experience entirely.
I have said this before and again that Arsenal football club needs to pay attention to one particular trophy per season, not necessarily the Premier League alone but any of the trophy they found themselves in the competition, it could be Premier league, champions league, FA Cup Carabou Cup, so not necessarily the Premier league. Their situation overtime, ending each season without a major trophy for over a decade plus is a problem as football club.

Exactly, there are competitions that are definitely more suited to them and are more in their league, the other contenders are currently too strong even for them, it would be enough to compare them with Manchester City to understand that they are clearly stronger.

Real Madrid has struggled recently because some of their good players are old and others have left which has especially hurt their defense. However I also think they are now improving and could be strong contenders for Champions League again if they continue to rebuild. And yes that is right that competition is tough this year with strong teams like Barcelona and Liverpool and Arsenal all looking to challenge for title while you believe PSG might not be strong enough to win.

This season, I think Barcelona will not be able to make much of an advantage in the Champions League. Every season, Barcelona starts the Champions League and La Liga with a strong team, but in the middle of the Champions League, it is seen that they have gone far from their goal. Despite being in the best rhythm last season, they could not progress very far in the Champions League. If any team performs well in the Champions League from La Liga this season, it will definitely be Real Madrid. We have seen a lot of change in Real Madrid's performance recently and behind this change, of course, there is a contribution from those players who have been injured for so long and who have recovered. So if Real Madrid qualifies for the semi-finals or final of the Champions League again this season, it will not be surprising because Real Madrid is always a favorite team in the Champions League.

yes Real Madrid has always started a bit late, they are working on it and they will certainly be key players like
Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior will make the difference by winning match after match, expect to see a sudden change in this team

Oh man we get final UCL 2012 to come early here. I'm fully hyped to watch Chelsea's game against Munich. That's bring back the memories when they beat prime munich more than a decade a go. This is definitely the most worthy game to be watched in Wednesday.
The game on Munich will never be an easy game, but i believe Chelsea can pass it. The home valued 1.70 while away 4.60. yeah the gap is big, but it doesn't matter anymore.

I remember when Chelsea being unfavored against PSG. So the same moment is likely to repeating again.

From all indications I would say you are a chelsea fan, having this memory about the 2012 champions league final at Munich is one memory that is stuck in every chelsea fan brain. This fixture will be like a pay back time for Bayern for humility chelsea brought to them by beating them at their back yard and lifting their first ever champions league trophy.

Honestly I can’t also wait for this match, I jus want to how both teams play, both team have so much quality now and both chelsea and bayern will want to make a big statement in this match.

As always chelsea will go into this match as underdog, this is when they are most dangerous, I hope Vincent Kompany knows this.

Of course their opponents haven't been as strong as Arsenal. But I don't think they will give up that easy at home. I might still bet on Arsenal at such lovely odds which would be hard to find when it is at Emirates. 

I think Arsenal could have won this match more easily. Athletic Bilbao looks like a tough team, but Arsenal have been really good this year. Bilbao have won three of their three matches in Spain, but they haven't faced a tough opponent like Arsenal. I think the experienced Premier League team is the team that's close to three points in this match. The betting odds also look quite good.

I just checked the Champions League fixtures for match day 1 and I found something new about the days of the match which is way off from the usual Champions League nights that we all know of. To confirm, I check multiple bet sites and still saw same thing. Usually, it's only Tuesdays and Wednesdays that we watch Champions League football but this season I saw Thursday included in the match day 1 fixtures and that's a big surprise to me because Thursdays has never been for Champions League untill this season.

[Phoenix Anka]

The Champions League marathon will kick off with PSV vs. Saint-Gilloise and Athletic Bilbao vs. Arsenal. With six days left until the matches kick off, excitement is building. It's highly likely that the teams competing in the Champions League will rotate their squads in their league matches this week. This is because the players will be starting the season with full focus and a clear goal of winning. I expect both matches to be a great and exciting one. What are your expectations for these two matches? Which teams do you think will win?

I checked too, and it's true! Strange! I don't think I've ever read any news about this decision.
Evidently, the show has to be spread over several days so that people can watch more matches. I think it's part of UEFA's marketing strategy, but apparently it's only for the first day. Then, when the Europa League starts, they'll go back to Tuesday and Wednesday matches.

I think Galatasaray's performance in the Champions League will definitely be quite good. Considering that the current Galatasaray squad is truly filled with truly great players. For example, up front, they have a very sharp striker, Osimhen. Then on the wing, they also have a new player who is equally great. That player is Laron Sane, who Galatasaray successfully brought in from Munich. So with that, I think Galatasaray will make an unexpected surprise this time.

Furthermore, in the Champions League, Galatasaray doesn't seem to have too many tough opponents in the preliminary round. Perhaps the only Liverpool who will give Galatasaray a hard time, and I think Galatasaray can handle the rest well. So with that in mind, I think Galatasaray has a great chance of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League. So with that in mind, I'm really looking forward to watching Galatasaray play in the Champions League.

I also think that Galatasaray will have a very good tournament, full of emotions and above all goals. There are teams that are clearly inferior to Galatasaray and many don't realise this by underestimating their opponents, as they always do, always declaring themselves stronger than everyone else, but this year they will be blown away.

I hope Galatasaray gets what they expect in this tournament. They spent a lot of money during the transfer window, and that money needs to be recouped somehow. The easiest way to achieve this is to succeed in the Champions League. Many teams view Galatasaray as an easy team, but I believe they are one of the most dangerous teams this year. Even the favorites should be wary of them.

I also hope that Galatasaray gets what they want, they are certainly aiming high because the wages are tough and very expensive, I hope in fact that they repay themselves in a big way by showing us good football at a European level, something that I expect from the many attackers they have bought this year, one above all Victor Osimhen.

At least every team have their plans during this summer transfer and now the transfer have ended and the season is about to start immediately, after the international break, players will be back and the Champions League will be with us next week and we would have to see how all different teams are going to perform in the Champions League, Galatasaray I think it’s one of the underdogs and I’m not expecting them to go beyond the groups stages, because there are more stronger teams in the Champions league, well the money from the league phase would definitely be enough for them to cover up for their expenses during the transfer window and in general.

Arsenal was kicked out by PSG and not Bayern Munich last season. Even I, the last time I can only remember Arsenal reaching the finals of the competition was back in 2006 when they played and lost against Barcelona, I also think that was their ever first and only final till date. I don't even have any hopes of Arsenal player the champions league finals anytime soon.

Well, thrown out by PSG who then won the Champions League, not by anyone.
I would be satisfied as i probably could have gone further if i hadn't been drawn against PSG, but the point is that matches are random and you can end up against the strongest team of the season, it's just bad luck.

Arsenal definitely have the edge. Judging by their  previous meeting in the Emirates Cup final where Arsenal won 3–0, we can envision  the gap in quality. With their current form and experience, they look more likely to take all three points again.

Bilbao might have recorded consistency in their last three Spanish games but we know the CL comes with a different energy, intensity and sportsmanship.

Yes, that's it. The Champions League has a special atmosphere, and the players strive to play even better in the Champions League. I believe Arsenal are far superior in terms of player quality and can win. Bilbao is certainly not a team to be underestimated, and the match will be played in Spain, but Arsenal will easily win given the difference in quality.

Getting  that which  the hope to achieve has been my utmost wish of Galatasaray  because  if I am not exaggerating, this is the season  they have spent the most on transfer since  they became a recognised team as they are now., it is so much an investment  that the best compensation they can get is the ROI asides which it will link like a bad investment, a feeling I doubt  they wish to have currently. They may not win the champions league but a good finish  beyond  the group stage will do them much more lot good the. The regular.

These are matches that are always beautiful to watch, exciting because they bring back good memories from long ago. I'm certainly not a fan of either team, but I have to say that it was a great final where entertainment was guaranteed, so how can you miss a match like that? It's definitely worth watching.

This match is suppose to be a very interesting match, because the two teams are very attacking minded. I know most people will be expecting PSV to win, but I will not underestimate Union Saint-Gilloise, because they are a very good team and are capable of giving any team problems on their good day. They are very exciting to watch and they also score goals, so I am really expecting an interesting match that will produce a lot of goal, but I can't really predict who is going to win.
Although I am not very familiar with these two teams. But they are quite strong teams and top teams in the domestic league because of their domestic league performance. Both teams won the league title last season and are in a very good position this season. Eredivisie league team PSV has won the title in the last two seasons in a row and has won 3 and lost 1 in a total of 4 matches this season. On the other hand, Belgian Pro League team Union Saint-Gilloise won the title last season and has won 4 and drawn 2 in a total of 6 matches this season. That is, both teams are in a very good position recently. Both teams are quite strong and aggressive which makes for an exciting match.

PSV will definitely win, they are a great team, in good shape and sportingly hungry for victory, they are both certainly excellent teams but the one I see better is PSV who is trying to establish itself as the best Dutch team, I don't know if they will succeed but they are certainly trying.

I cannot wait to watch the match because it gonna be a match full of thrill. Any of these clubs that has a better strategy than the other will definitely outplay his opponents and win the match. I am happy that we have started the season with exciting matches in the group stage. Chelsea is partially in their best form, same is Bayern, it's a perfect match.

I think the Dutch team can at least win this match in the Champions League, as their opponents are a bit less powerful than the other teams in the Champions League.

Yes that's right. The interesting thing about the UCL is that it's always unpredictable and there are always surprises. Back then no one expected Chelsea an underdog to win the UCL title. Likewise in the Club World Cup final against PSG, they were also underdogs but they managed to pull off a surprise.

Chelsea is a difficult team to predict. I'm sure they'll pull off a major upset this season, especially given their current hot form, and under coach Enzo Maresca, Chelsea have become a force to be reckoned with in the UCL this season.

Their first UCL match of the season will be against Bayern Munich. Bayern are the favorites, especially as they're playing at home. However, with Chelsea's current form, it's not impossible for Chelsea to win this match in impressive fashion. We'll be looking forward to this match.

I think the most interesting match is indeed Chelsea vs Munich. Both are in good condition for the start of this season. Another match could be Man City vs Napoli. I want to see how Napoli performs in the Champions League this season. They are clearly not a weak team, but what might be a bit of concern is Man City's performance, whether they can improve in the Champions League, or if their situation is not much different from last season.
