UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Juse14]

UCL isn't the "champions" league as we all know, teams that can be as low as fourth place could go to champions league, and we have seen plenty of teams that won UCL that did not win their own league that same season. While it is of course common for teams to win both, it is not a must.

PSG won their league and UCL, real did too, city did too, but for example Chelsea recently won, while not being that great at premier league. So we could of course possibly see something like this happen as well, it is not unheard of and could happen. We should consider that as a possibility and could very well happen. I personally hope that the best thing we could have during this period should be what we are facing right now, which is having hard time betting, because it gives great odds.

Speaking of big teams like PSG, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and other European giants, they have quite formidable squads, both in the first team and the second team. Therefore, this shouldn't be a major problem when they face difficult matches amidst a busy schedule, as the coaches can divide their focus well. Therefore, it's very possible for them to win trophies in both the domestic league and the Champions League. However, if they have a limited squad and only rely on a few players on the pitch, this will clearly be a challenge for the team because it can lead to player fatigue or, worse, injuries that will significantly impact their performance on the pitch. And at this point, the coach must ultimately decide which match to focus on, whether the domestic league or the Champions League.

Given these factors, I believe Barcelona has the potential to go far in the Champions League this season. However, their key players must recover quickly. Because that's certainly what will hinder Barcelona. Furthermore, next week, Barcelona will face Olympiakos in the Champions League. I think this match will be easy for Barcelona. So, I hope Barcelona can win this match and climb back up the Champions League standings. And speaking of Real Madrid, next week they'll face Juventus. I think this match will be a bit difficult for Real Madrid, so what do you think about this match.

I hope Barcelona doesn't go through the same problem that Real Madrid went through last season with Ancelotti, where instead of a team they had a hospital. Regarding Juve's play, it's extremely risky. I'm telling you, if Real Madrid plays like they did against Atlético, they'll lose because Juve play pretty good football with a deadly counterattack. Honestly, for me, that game will be decisive because Juve played a great role in the club world championship, this team has improved in an impressive way.

I'm reason the same thing concerning Barcelona in this tournament, some of their strikers that use to score goals to push the team forward find it difficult to score goals, and if they continue like this, it will be difficult for Barcelona to get to the position they was in the last UEFA champion League competition before they were locked out from the tournament, I know that this season is going to be tough tournament but Barcelona will still defeat Real Madrid and other teams if they meet again because Barcelona have added another strong striker that is making the team to be more stronger, even  Paris Saint Germain that won the UEFA champion League title last season will not be given chance to repeat the same again in this new season.

Talking about arsenal as a team. I think that one major reason why arsenal has not been consistent as it concerns their form may be due to the type of coaches that, has been coaching arsenal when it comes to coaches arsenal give their managers time to prove themselves but I think that this is not a good one. This is part of the reasons that arsenal has not been able to win the premier League for years now any coach that can't stabilize a team should not be allowed to continue in a team more than two years.

Is Mikel Arteta doing so badly? Coming so close to winning the title and not winning it is a bit of a letdown, but I don't think Arteta has performed so badly that he should be eliminated. He was unlucky to come away empty-handed after coming so close to winning the title. They have been doing well so far this season, top of the Premier League and still unbeaten in the Champions League. I still don't understand why you are so angry with the Arsenal manager. I see them winning a trophy this season and they are performing well enough to do so. Injuries to players in recent times could have hindered their consistency.

To an extent, I will say that his anger is justifiable. Imagine topping the table for months, and when you are close to giving the fans joy, your team slips off. Not once, not twice. It is worth getting angry for. And you know, Arsenal fans are not really promised anything yet again this season, because they have seen it all. Yea, topping the EPL table is a normal thing to them. Going unbeaten in the champions league at least in this early stages is not new to the club.

You know, in the champions league, any teams that beats Real Madrid in the knockout stages goes ahead to lift the trophy, but Arsenal did, even winning them home/away, but could not get to the finals. Isn't that what a supporter of a club should get angry for? The truth is just that Arsenal fans can just keep hoping, nothing more. Maybe this season, Maybe next, or maybe in the next 10 seasons, or never, lol. But they really deserve to celebrate a grand Victory. Maybe, just this season, they need to live on hope

This is because the teams entering this competition are simply not on the same level. So, with that in mind, I say that Chelsea will win this match, but not necessarily win the Champions League. The proof is that Chelsea lost their first match against Munich. So that already explains that Chelsea's performance in the Champions League is not particularly special and perhaps falls into the middle of the table when we look at it from a Champions League perspective.

You're right, Chelsea's behavior is difficult to predict They're not a team that consistently wins No, they go all out at a certain moment and then don't win the games they should win, It's a bit strange, but they're a good team They have a great forward line and can spring big surprises They need to be more consistent.

Arsenal is currently doing great and is currently the best club in the Premier League competition. They are actually doing well right now, and we are hoping to see them win the Premier League championship this season. Although they are ahead of Liverpool with just 1 point, with the way the performance is going.

I’m expecting Arsenal to win more matches so they will remain at the top of the standings and make us proud this season. They have been trying and fighting for the trophy for many seasons. Given that they have taken over the top standings now, I’m expecting them to remain there till the end of the season.

I am just wondering, assuming he gets "so close" to winning some of the trophies yet again this season or let's say Arsenal reaches the champion's league final and get beaten, what will you say?  
That he deserves yet another chance after those past years of trophy droughts?

I think he needs to feel more pressure so he can deliver. A team can not spend millions every transfer window only to get close to winning a trophy.

Mikel Arteta has been with Arsenal since 2019 and now that his current deal signed in 2024 to last until 2027 is another thing we are going to give a second chance for and see how he could deliver within, when challenges arises from situations like this, sacking the coach is not the end to the challenges, because the actual cause has to be looked upon first, then we see whether and if everything was pointing at the coach or not, but so far so good, i believe he should be able to make some changes this season before it ends and before his contract due by 2027 with Arsenal.

Who do you think is the cause of Arsenal's trophylessness, Arteta or the players? It's Arteta and will always be Arteta. He's the one in charge of the team. Also, I think the reason the board may not want to sack him despite not being able to deliver a piece of silverware is because he has shown some level of consistency. He's been finishing in the top four, which is not really bad. But I hope he wins a trophy real soon, he has made some good signings this season.

No one is the cause, I just feel the momentum haven't just clicked for them yet, although there are doing well in the road to the finals but it always goes wrong when they close to securing the title and for me the cause of this is probably due to the fact that they feel like they are going to seal it so the deal at which they play just dies off immediately and then other team just overtake them.

Arteta performance isn’t bad, it’s not even easy to because second in premier league, but we all know that what Arsenal fans need right now is Arteta winning the premier league for them. Arteta has been in Arsenal for years, but no major trophy, will Arteta continue to give Arsenal confidence that they going to win the premier league every season, and at the end they going to end the second in second position, that’s bad because what Arsenal fans need right now is trophy, not been close.

If Arteta can’t win the trophy for Arsenal, then they should let him go, they should sign another coach which can achieve that for them, Arteta has been trying, but he keeps on making the same mistake almost every season, Arsenal need to win a major trophy. Arsenal ending the premier league in second position is no longer special to Arsenal fans again, and that’s not what they want.

[AYOBA]

Real Madrid on the other hand will do their best against Juventus, although it will never be that easy for them since they also have some injuries, and considering how Juventus started this season, they will have some points to prove in this match. Juventus might struggle to get a draw in this match since Mbappe and Vini are in good form so they will score a lot of goals, I just hope Juve can defend them.

The match will be very interesting to watch because Real Madrid will try their best to fight and get straight three points in the match, which I don’t think the match will be that difficult for Real Madrid, as you are thinking of it. Let’s forget that they have some players that are injured; I don’t have much hope for Juventus that they will be able to bring Real Madrid down in the match.

But let us wait and see what can actually happen on the match day between them. Because at times this kind of prediction is very difficult to make it early; sometimes the team that we take for granted will later bring out a positive result, but Juventus has a lot to do if they really want a draw in that match.

I am not giving up hope on Chelsea this season, they may look very inconsistent but I still see them as a potential for the title regardless. Chelsea’s behaviour may not be consistent but they’re still one of the best in this game. The champions league strength is measured not in the starting of the performance of the team, but in the long term performance of the team. So if Chelsea can keep up, then they will be a potential for the title this season. It is not easy but if they’re able to play to their best, then they can go far this season as well in the competition.

Don't forget, Chelsea is not the only elite anticipating club in the UEFA Champions League this season. There are presence of other competitive teams more capable of Chelsea this season. We seen the recording scores between Bayern Munich and Chelsea and I can boldly beat my chest and say, Chelsea is doing their best but they're not there yet. How are we going to give Chelsea the lead to win the UEFA champions league when they can not even pass a test to share points with the Bavarians when they clashed this season.

Enzo Maresca needs to upgrade his standards if he's up for the challenge to win the UEFA champions league trophy. It's going to be really difficult because we have the defending Champions, Paris Saint-Germain and other elite teams more desperate and competitive to win games, let's see who's going to be crowned UCL champ this season.

They are actually doing well right now, and we are hoping to see them win the Premier League championship this season. Although they are ahead of Liverpool with just 1 point, with the way the performance is going.

Given that they have taken over the top standings now, I’m expecting them to remain there till the end of the season.

Arsenal is currently performing well, but that does not guarantee that they will win every trophy this season. I believe you are one of their fan who believes this season will be their time to win some trophies. We should always remember how this club gave their fans confidence of winning trophies, but their performance declined at the end of the season. Maybe they're tired of finishing second for the third time in a row and want to prove something different this season.

However, I am not an Arsenal fan, but it would be great if they could win something this season, they have been playing well for the past three seasons but have yet to win a single trophy. Also we should lower our expectations from them, unlike last season, when they started the season well but then failed at the end. If Arteta does not win a trophy this season, I assume this may be his final season at Arsenal.

And at this point, the coach must ultimately decide which match to focus on, whether the domestic league or the Champions League.

The Champions League will always be a priority tournament for any team because it’s the most important and prestigious competition. If a coach has to choose which match is more important, there’s no doubt about which one he’ll pick. That’s why we sometimes see that in league games that come before a Champions League match, the coach gives some players a rest or lets them play only part of the game. Teams with deep squads have the ability to do this, which allows them to perform well in all tournaments.

It's time for Arteta to learn from his mistakes. He has been competing for trophies for years with a high chance of winning them, but he ended up in second place. I think the management will be fed up with his false hope that Arteta will always win them, so if he fails again this time, I think firing him will be the the best plan to take because winning a trophy is every team's greatest goal.

The match will be very interesting to watch because Real Madrid will try their best to fight and get straight three points in the match, which I don’t think the match will be that difficult for Real Madrid, as you are thinking of it. Let’s forget that they have some players that are injured; I don’t have much hope for Juventus that they will be able to bring Real Madrid down in the match.

Having many defense players on injuries is really a terrible thing for Real Madrid, but despite having their players on injuries, I have more  hope for them to defeat Juventus because we know how tough their matches always used to be in this Champions League is just that they won't have an excellent defense but their attackers will be strong as they will penetrate Juventus well and the midfield is also well strong.

Arteta will do everything in his power to see that he succeeds in winning a trophy this season. He has been fighting for it for many seasons now but has yet to be proven. You are right for saying the reason why the management gave him enough time. I think they believe in him that he will surely win a trophy for them because he always finishes in a good position in the table.

I also think that is why they are giving him more time to see that he continues doing his best; maybe he will get more chances and win the trophy. This season he has been consistently doing well from the start of the season. I hope he ends the season with this consistency he has shown now.

I see them winning a trophy this season and they are performing well enough to do so. Injuries to players in recent times could have hindered their consistency.

When listing coaches who are not consistent I doubt if Arteta will be among, concerning injury I remembered Arsenal had a rough game last season, if I’m not mistaking more than 7 players had injury including the top players so all this affected their game although every team started strong but could not maintain same energy likewise Arsenal knowing for a fact Arsenal bottle up twice still this is not enough reason. Last season after defeating Real Madrid I thought Arsenal will make it to the finals yet they tried pushing forward without a good striker, well now I’m hoping for a good result definitely the squad seems fit and able, let’s hope Arsenal don’t go trophyless this time around.

[kawetsriyanto]

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 think so. There is always a chance that other teams can beat PSG in UCL this season. They have got some defeats, they were defeated by Chelsea in FIFA World Cup final and they were defeated by Marseille in Ligue 1. It is just a proof that other teams can defeat PSG. Winning against Barcelona isn't a guarantee that they will always win against other teams in UCL. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Arsenal look stronger. I think these teams are capable to defeat PSG in the next few matches.

You're right, Chelsea's behavior is difficult to predict They're not a team that consistently wins No, they go all out at a certain moment and then don't win the games they should win, It's a bit strange, but they're a good team They have a great forward line and can spring big surprises They need to be more consistent.

True. Chelsea performance is very unstable. They have showed great improvement in the beginning of the season, but they looks worse recently. I think it is because many of the key players are new players. They are still adapting each other, they also adapt with the new strategy applied by new coach. It is always not easy to adapt with the new team.

They are teams accustomed to a demanding schedule every season, So it's no surprise that they can perform at their best despite such a busy schedule. However, one factor that could impact their performance is injuries, as each team has players who can impact their performance on the pitch. Their absence will undoubtedly impact their performance.

Although Real madrid, Manchester city, and PSG boast many great players, both starting and reserve, they could lose points if they don't perform consistently. This season, It's much harder to predict who will reach the final, as several teams, such as Bayern munich and Barcelona, ​​have made remarkable progress.

I think it is because many of the key players are new players. They are still adapting each other, they also adapt with the new strategy applied by new coach. It is always not easy to adapt with the new team.

The team's inconsistent performance in the group stage will impact every team participating in the competition, making it difficult for them to advance to the next round. Chelsea is still struggling to maintain this consistency, even though the team has shown changes at the start of the competition. There is concern that a few defeats will actually result in them not having enough points to advance to the next round. Adaptation or a strategy that is not yet fully understood by each player is not an excuse; they are required to adapt quickly so the team can improve.
