UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Abbatty]

Atletico de Madrid are in a good mood this time but everyone knows that playing in England will really bring pressure for the Spaniards. However they may still have to accept their situation and face Arsenal in England, which means trying to get a big hurdle off their shoulders. I would also like to bring up Atletico Madrid's victory over Real Madrid here because they showed something extraordinary in that match that they should also show at Arsenal's home ground. As an away match, many bettors may be more confident in the home team, but even then if Atletico de Madrid can create a great combination, so I think they will be able to challenge the Gunners.

Perhaps after defeating Real Madrid in La Liga, Atletico Madrid truly began to regain their confidence as one of Europe's top teams. This is why we saw them win their second UCL match by a significant margin.

However, against Arsenal, I'm still quite confident that Arsenal can still be considered favorites. As long as Arsenal are in top form and performing well. Arsenal have home advantage in this match, and that should boost the Arsenal players' motivation.

I think Arsenal have much more edge to win this game than Atletico Madrid. Since Mikel Arteta took over Arsenal having been very good in one aspect that defending, they now know how to defend against almost all opponents. They are currently the team that have conceded the least goal so far in the premier league this season.

Atletico are also now doing well, winning matches with much more ease, and Alvarez have been a beast in front of goal. They can cause Arsenal problems too but getting a win against gunners will be a big task.

Arsenal is playing super diferent right now compared with how they used to play when Arteta arrives, they now play a more tactical and even defensive football, with a good managing of the ball yes, but still pretty defensive compared with what used to be.

For example a few seasons back Saka was much more fast in the attacks and went 1 vs 1 a lot , and now that doesnt happen.

[Zaguru12]

Yes it was better during the time of winger, though  he failed to bring Premier league and champions league trophy home, but Arsenal was better of in form and in performances as of then. But the different with Arsenal under Arteta is that they've had quite a good progress lifting some trophies, though he hasn't spent much of time with Arsenal as compared tp Arsen winger time with Arsenal.
But with Arteta, Arsenal can break the bar this time because of his consistency in dragging of position for about a season or three now.

I don’t think there should be any comparison between this two for now, I doubt that Arsene Wenger actually took more than 5 seasons before he could actually clinch the Premier League tittle like it is taking Arteta at the moment. Arsene actually won multiple premier and Fa Cups and the historical invincible tittle they had all this was done without him breaking the bank like we see today, he was known for actually winning and building players back then and the only dent in his career was the champions league trophy he had failed to win, I think his disrespect is actually coming because he spent too much time at the club and people only see and judged his latter years,

This is not discrediting Arteta who has actually been showing in improvement and can easily be credited to be one of the best manager post Arsene Wenger era, today if Arteta gets sacked and this club still went ahead and win major trophies I think it will be attributed to him building the club and setting them on track. For me I am not against the believe that this Arteta has placed Arsenal right at the top but the right question is, is he the one to take them to tittles? I think this season is a make or break season for that question to get an answer

I don't think anyone can beat Paris Saint-Germain this year. Paris Saint-Germain has been playing exceptionally well this year. They've had some tough matches in the French league, but they're continuing with full focus on the Champions League. They won away against Barcelona, ​​a feat few teams can achieve. To win the Champions League this year, Paris Saint-Germain has the power to beat any team. They're playing this well in every match. I'm confident they can make it to the finals again.

I don’t know if you are having to consider Bayern Munich in all these, it isn’t just a case of who can beat PSG, Chelsea did it without any problems and they had all their first team players on the game. PSG have still got a weak backline, just like Barcelona. If you are able to put pressure on the team and not have them direct how the game is played, you surely would have an edge to win the day. That is what Bayern Munich can do, play same rush and pressure football. PSG is not unbeatable.

Arsenal have shown a very good performance so far in the champions league and I can’t seem to see them faltering against Atletico Madrid even though they have a very good record in the Champions league in the past. Atletico Madrid is a very fierce team and Arsenal will also feel their tempo in this match. The better side amongst this team will win the match but it’s going to be a very tough challenge for each team. I have trust in Arsenal to go past through this stage and go further in the champions league, so no matter the outcome of this game, they still have enough opportunity to qualify to the knockout stage of the champions league competition.

Sometimes I think Arsenal will have a hard time beating Atletico Madrid, but on the other hand, Arsenal's performance has been impressive so far, so many fans are hoping to see Arsenal win at the Emirates Stadium.
If Arsenal plays really well, I think Atletico Madrid chances of winning this match are slim, but the visitors can still capitalize on opportunities and surprise us.

Therefore, Arsenal must be able to thwart Atletico Madrid attacks. If the visitors can control the game, a surprise could occur. Diego Simeone has extensive experience in the Champions League and has his own way of getting points away from home. On the other hand, judging by Viktor Gyokeres performance, we are certainly impressed with his performance, as he has adapted quickly to the team and is already starting to show his prowess in scoring goals.

When it comes to Europe atletico madrid is one team that, is a top team and they know how to get results and going by atletico madrid last two matches there is hope for atletico madrid going into this crucial game against arsenal. Arsenal may have the home advantage but am quite confident about atletico madrid getting something out of this game. This game will be fiercely contested between these two teams and the better side will get results but looking at the strength of these two teams they both are in a good form going into this game next week.

Atletico Madrid started this season in an unimaginable manner, losing to Porto and Espanyol in the Spanish La liga and even lost there game with Liverpool in the champions league few weeks but got back on track after hitting back to form after a humiliating 3:2 lost to Liverpool in the champions league. After the lost to Liverpool they came back to form, winning real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt in an unimaginable manner serially and other teams in the Spanish Li liga so with such consistency, a lost to Arsenal is not going o be possible know matter the quality of players Arsenal's squad

It's so good and sad for Arsenal to get included in every good discussion only after some months to be forgotten after because they are going to be out after some while. If there is something special that can lead Arsenal to victory, I will be more than happy because it's not easy to be having this points now and then be discarded later but who knows what can happen later, they made sure Real Madrid were dealt with last season, maybe such performance can be replicated Atletico Madrid.

Not sure if Atletico Madrid has some back up to win Arsenal in this match, their domestic positions are very poor, they barely win games, it's even like On and off switch that you don't know where they go next. Arsenal are better though, they are unbeatable in the Champions League, if they do it again with Atletico it's going to be 3 games unbeatable since the beginning of the Champions League but all this doesn't concern me, I'm after where they will end after this rigorous stages.

Fast games has been the strength of PSG and so if an opponent is able to get them calming the game down, you will see that they will be able  to have a chance against PSG and even win them, that was exactly what Chelsea did against them and Bayern Munich is another fast player too so for them, they will be a better match at PSG anytime. The fast moves has been the advantage PSG has used to cover up for their weak back line often.

You are absolutely correct, the best way to defend and win is to attack and that was exactly what Chelsea did to Paris Saint Germain in that final and it worked for them, Paris Saint Germain has a lot of good players and so the best way to distablize them is to mount excess pressure though not all team or club can do that to them because they are very skilled and experience and the reason why Chelsea was able to do that was because they have what it takes to do it and I have discovered one thing about Paris Saint Germain, they don't get tired easily they are always pressuring and countering.

Arsenal still has a very good chance because considering the conditions and the home games they have played Arsenal has a significant advantage here. However, when we talk about Atletico I think we know that this club is unpredictable when facing clubs of the same level. So Arsenal needs to be aware of this considering that Atletico is unpredictable and could put up a fight that will overwhelm Arsenal.

On the other hand, injuries to several playerS including Odegaard could disrupt Arsenal in this match considering Odegaard's crucial role. Losing this player could create a gap in Arsenal's midfield.

I think this will be an interesting match but on the other hand, it could also be an unpredictable one, so I prefer to play it safe and bet on BTTS in this match.

What do one really expects from Gunners this season if not competing vigorously for the main leagues. We have the simpler games and how they're able to squeezed themselves in and also become favorite to win them with their extraordinary performance. Arsenal pattern of the game will always come up surprising everyone because that's exactly how they operates. Gunners doesn't play dull football but a fast game which is always entertaining from their end.

Mikel Arteta have come too close to start jeopardizing his style, he won't give up for anything because he already invested alot in the club and he's yet to enjoy the fruits of his labor. If there's one thing Arsenal have been dedicated to is winning the English Premier League and this have also been a surrounding energy for the big winnings.

The problem is that this situation cannot really be forced because Arsenal always faces problems that make it difficult for them to maintain consistency.

We can see that it has already started with several of their key players suffering injuries, which will inevitably lead to a decline in performance sooner or later.
In addition, their mentality is still not fully formed, which makes them a favorite club but ultimately prevents them from giving their best because they always stall halfway and eventually run out of steam when the competition for the trophy intensifies.

Currently, it all depends on Arteta whether he can address these issues, particularly the mental state and the shortcomings of the players due to injuries. If this situation can be managed effectively, Arteta will be one step closer to his goal. However, if the opposite occurs, we are all aware of what will ultimately happen by the end of the season.

Atletico have hit good form, and their victory in La Liga against Real has further motivated them and given them the desire to achieve more success. Arsenal, on the other hand, are always a "tough" opponent and a very difficult team to beat when playing at home. As you said, both teams are in good form, but i give a slight advantage to Atletico Madrid.

As you said, both teams are in good form, but i give a slight advantage to Atletico Madrid.

While both teams are equally strong, each match will likely see a stronger advantage for one team, and arsenal will likely do so in this match. I favor Arsenal to win because of their consistent performance this season. Furthermore, the gap in arsenal attack has been filled by Gyokeres, which will give Arsenal an advantage.

While it's difficult to predict this match, I think bookmakers will offer similar odds for both teams. However, if we want to bet on this match, We must be confident in which team will bring in the profit. However, if arsenal loses in front of their home crowd, it could be a strong indication that Arsenal aren't strong enough against big teams from other leagues.

La Liga is purely main teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. They've shown who's competing and the ones settling for lesser scores. Los Colchoneros facing the english side this season and this time, they're meeting in elite tournament. Arsenal will host Atletico Madrid at Emirates Stadium in the UEFA Champions League. It's an essential game for bothsides and we're expecting to see the determined club with solid three points. Gunners are 5th position while the Spanish side is sitting 10th position on the UCL table. Diego Simeone should never underrated any team because in UCL, every club come out to be the very best and winnings is direct.

[Gaza13]

It's very difficult to predict, this match is very difficult because they are two teams that are really strong and have shown a lot in this last period but if I had to go out on a limb and make a bet I would say that I am more in favor of Arsenal winning,although Atletico is much more than just a Spanish team

You're backing the right team in this case, because Arsenal can also be very dangerous in the Champions League, even though Atletico Madrid has regained their fighting spirit after winning the derby. But in the Champions League, everything is very different, and any team must be completely focused and make no mistakes to win. So, you can't go wrong by choosing Arsenal as the team you support when facing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

For me I feel arsenal are going to win this game. Plain and simple, athletico is a good team no doubt but arsenal on a good is far way better even if you come with the comparison of the champions league. Arsenal are in perfect form and will definitely take on athletico Madrid anytime any day, in the aspect of defense I think it's fair to say that the English team defense is even stronger than the Spanish team although athletico Madrid is well known for that attributes of strong defensive attack style.

I think both teams have fairly equal strength in this regard, of course they will remain alert in the upcoming match. In this case, Arsenal is indeed more advantaged because they are playing at home, the support of the Emirates Stadium supporters can sometimes really influence the fighting spirit of the Arsenal players and put pressure on the opposing team. This league is indeed one of the most prestigious in world football, where elite clubs compete to maintain their positions, so I am sure both teams will put on a quality performance in this match.

[Tamaperdana]

It has been fascinating to watch Arsenal progress in the Premier League and Champions League over the past few seasons. They have consistently been a formidable contender in the EPL title race and are a force to be reckoned with in the UCL. The curse or bad luck still can't be eradicated even though they add depth to the team every season, initially this team looked very promising, but towards the end of the season, there were unexpected things that made them eliminated from the UCL and failed to surpass their rivals in the EPL points.

Arteta has worked hard to bring Arsenal to the title, but he also needs to be aware of every mistake his team made when they were almost at the finish line. Hopefully, the same mistakes will not be repeated this season.

Yes, even though Arsenal is a big team and is now widely known, unfortunately, they have a very limited trophy collection. Because, as far as I know, Arsenal has never won the Champions League. I think this is truly a bit heartbreaking, because many of their rival teams in the Premier League have tasted this most prestigious trophy. But Arsenal has always struggled to win it. Furthermore, speaking of the Premier League trophy, as far as I know, Arsenal last won the Premier League in 2004. If I'm not mistaken, Arsenal was coached by Arsène Wenger.

Since then, Arsenal has not been able to win the Premier League trophy again. So, with that in mind, I think Arsenal is a team that is very concerning. Because it has been more than two decades since Arsenal was able to win the Premier League trophy again. And this season, I don't know whether Arsenal will suffer the same fate or not. Because, judging by the current situation, Arsenal's performance is quite good in the Champions League and the Premier League. So, for that reason, I think we should just see how Arsenal performs this season.

Arsenal is playing super diferent right now compared with how they used to play when Arteta arrives, they now play a more tactical and even defensive football, with a good managing of the ball yes, but still pretty defensive compared with what used to be.

For example a few seasons back Saka was much more fast in the attacks and went 1 vs 1 a lot , and now that doesnt happen.

Arteta most at times underestimate what his team can do because,  I don't know how you'll have the best defence for the past two seasons and still be scared to attack clubs you go against. We saw that against Liverpool and it hurt him badly.  I want to see them do that against Fulham and then Atletico Madrid. What I can't wrap my head around has got to be the last part of the post. Saka or Madueke work side by side with their right fullbacks more like a 2vs2. Is that not how the best tactically shaped sides play?!

[Nightwatchmare]

Arteta is a great coach, and I think he should be rewarded for his hard work at Arsenal. And by reward, I mean Arsenal should be able to win the title this season.

Arteta is a great coach, but some persons didn't see him as a great coach because of his failure to win the premier league title for Arsenal, and i believe any season Arteta wins the premier league title for Arsenal he will be seen as a great coach. Arsenal have a formidable team this season, and i expect Arteta to guide Arsenal to break the yoke and win the premier league title after they have failed to win it in so many attempts. I supported Arsenal to win the premier league title last season, and even if they failed to win it, i will still support them this season.

Yes, I completely agree with you on this. Because Arteta is a very good coach, if we focus on one thing and forget everything about the past, it will never be good. Because Arteta has done a lot of good in the past and is doing a lot of good now. He has developed a lot of young players at Arsenal. If we don't think about all this and just take this issue, then maybe no one in the world is a good player or a good coach. We have to consider all aspects and move forward. A person does not always have a good time.

[pewboy]

A fast game isn't always fun, i prefer a game where the actions are spectacular, that's not to say it's boring, they certainly liven up the game, they make it lively, but speed doesn't mean fun.
Arsenal is at times, for some time they wake up from sleep and then go back to sleep, only to suddenly recover again and start playing well again.
I don't understand what these drops in performance are due to.

[m4r1o]

I share your opinion, because as football fans like us, we must acknowledge the greatness of other teams and players, even if we're not fans of those teams. The Club World Cup trophy Chelsea won was a trophy Chelsea truly deserved after their hard-fought final. And if anyone says Chelsea aren't good enough in the Champions League, they might be the next victims in this different competition, because Chelsea can still be a dangerous team in the Champions League this season. And it's not even impossible for Chelsea to advance further if they don't suffer defeats at inopportune moments.
We may have our favorite team, so we will not consider a strong team as strong. I am a Real Madrid fan, but I believe that PSG will do quite well in the Champions League this season. Chelsea performed well against PSG in the Club World Cup final and won, and they can do that again, be it in the Champions League or the English Premier League. Those of us who have a good understanding of football must admit that Chelsea's young team is quite strong and they have the ability to defeat any team. I do not doubt Chelsea's performance at all, but I am waiting to see Chelsea's great performance in the Champions League. Those who do not consider Chelsea to be a strong team for the Champions League can watch the match between Chelsea and Barcelona on November 20, where Chelsea will undoubtedly perform well.
What you said in your post about people not considering a strong team as strong because of their favorite team is very common among football fans, but when i see a strong team, i always accept the team as strong regardless if the team is my favorite club or not. PSG defeating Barcelona after Barcelona scored first shows that there is no sign of weakness from PSG and they will surely do well in the Champions league this season. I see Chelsea winning PSG in the club world cup as luck, and if Chelsea meets PSG in the champions league, Chelsea won't beat PSG.

Every competition is different and stands alone. i understand that there is certainly enthusiasm on their part and that they want to aim high this year, but this cant do much. There are teams at a European level that are much better than Chelsea, even if they have been a bit underestimated lately. I want to say that they are not yet at the level of the Champions League.
