UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Obari]

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.

We can start mentioning clubs that are responsive and ready to lift elite trophies this season not just domestic ones but elite ones to atleast prove themselves. I think it's too early to start debating who's reaching the UEFA Champions League final and lifting the trophy this season. We know from the records how most of these elite teams have been consistently working hard enough and been unable to match the energy and winning teams but still yet, they're just ambitious to work out and win games with ease efforts.

PSG are defending Champions and they will do everything to ensure they're standing ground and not been shaky to anyone yet. Paris Saint-Germain will always explore options to win games and having one of the very best coach in the team, Luis Enrique, he single-handedly transform the club to become fierce and straight towards achieving their goal this season.

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.

Ending the season as a runner up is what some clubs are looking for and Arsenal do achieve this easily. Their fans are tired of staying trophyless for quite some time now. This is why you see them complaining about Arteta being unable to lift up the trophy for once. I don't think that Arsenal management has any plans of sacking Arteta for this.

Arsenal fans are seeing Arteta finishing as the runner-up for 3 consecutive seasons as nothing because they have stayed for a very long time without winning the premier league title, but let's be frank finishing as runner-up in the premier league is not easy to achieve, so Arsenal fans should give Arteta some credit for the amazing work he did in Arsenal. Arsenal fans have all the right to complain, but they should exercise patience with Arteta because he might win the premier league title this season. Getting a coach like Arteta is difficult now, and even if Arteta fail to win the premier league title this season, Arsenal management will not sack Arteta.

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.

Arsenal performance quite well in last two matches in a row after success getting six points, so far have six teams won 2 of 2 matches in Champion League from Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, PSG, Inter Milan and Qarabag FC. For upcoming match seems little difficult for Arsenal will success defend three winning matches in a row at Champion League because have to face Atletico Madrid.
One good thing of Arsenal in last two consecutives winning matches success made clean sheet without conceded any one goal yet, but both team facing by Arsenal not really strong such as Athletic Bilbao at the first match and Olympiacos at second matchday.

Talking about possibility winning Champion League trophy likely still far away because recently played two matches, Arsenal know as inconsistent performance team at crucial match and so far still the only one of top fourth premier league can't win Champion League trophy. Last season eliminated at quarter final from Bayern Munich and always difficult have winning mentality when facing with top team at quarter or semifinal round in Champion League.

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.

PSG is a strong team, and they are getting even stronger. But that doesn’t mean they are an unstoppable team. Even top teams lose games, so saying PSG have the power to beat any team is somehow not acceptable. Even in Ligue 1, where they are seen as the superiors and the dominant team of the league, they are not winning every time. Even their last game against Lille ended in a draw. So, PSG should not be taken too far; they are not always the winners. The Champions League is not like other leagues, which they may find easy. Let’s stop overhyping PSG.

PSG doesn't welcome loss easily, they're inevitable to defeats just like any other elite team. This club have suffered more losses in the past before stepping out with leading hand of Luis Enrique and today, they're UCL reigning Champions. Common brother, Luis Enrique deserves his flowers because he'd done what Ange Postecoglou, Laurent Blanc, Thomas Tuchel couldn't do for the club. With Luis Enrique presence, the club's upgrade and they're infront for titles, they're definitely smashing good games with stunning victories.

[Solokan]

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.

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.

Yes, PSG, Manchester City, and Real Madrid have good squads and are used to busy schedules, but they do sometimes experience a dip in performance. One of the reasons for this is player injuries, especially to key players, which clearly hinders a team's performance.

This season, it is very difficult to predict who will reach the final because teams like Bayern and Barcelona are strong and have good players, so it is possible that Bayern and Barcelona will reach the final because their strength cannot be underestimated. However, Barcelona is currently plagued by many injured players, so their strength has declined slightly. But if all their players recover from their injuries, Barcelona could potentially win the Champions League trophy this season. Of course, the Champions League is always difficult to predict because there are so many strong teams.

This club have suffered more losses in the past before stepping out with leading hand of Luis Enrique and today, they're UCL reigning Champions.

With Luis Enrique presence, the club's upgrade and they're infront for titles, they're definitely smashing good games with stunning victories.

Luis Enrique success in building PSG is undoubtedly due to his proven experience. He has successfully trained his players to perform well in every match, and in every match, they consistently strive for victory. Therefore, when we look at the team's performance, we see a process of building strength to maintain consistency in every match.

In my opinion, PSG is no longer an easy team to beat, they will strive to bounce back and put up a fight against any opponent they face. In fact, PSG is still the favorite this season, and if Luis Enrique can lead PSG to the championship, he will certainly be a truly exceptional coach, capable of leading the team to a prestigious title.

This season, it is very difficult to predict who will reach the final because teams like Bayern and Barcelona are strong and have good players, so it is possible that Bayern and Barcelona will reach the final because their strength cannot be underestimated. However, Barcelona is currently plagued by many injured players, so their strength has declined slightly. But if all their players recover from their injuries, Barcelona could potentially win the Champions League trophy this season. Of course, the Champions League is always difficult to predict because there are so many strong teams.

But this season, I feel Barcelona players are suffering too many injuries, and too often. Although it's only early days, just look at the number of injuries in the Barcelona squad. It's the same at Real Madrid, although that hasn't been unusual since last season. And regarding Manchester City, I have my doubts, even though they have quality players, especially Haaland, who is always adept at executing attacks to score goals. But for some reason, I have my doubts about Manchester City this season. Perhaps because they're not as good as they were a few seasons ago.

Meanwhile, PSG are still the same as last season, performing at their best. Perhaps my hopes are more on PSG, Bayern, or another club that can pull off a surprise.

[giorgione]

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.

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.

Do you really believe that they can even remotely reach the round of 16 or even get close to the quarter-finals? The qualifying round will already be a massacre for them and it seems to me that they are also not very consistent in their championship and this makes them very, very vulnerable in Europe. I don't think they will be able to do it.

With Luis Enrique presence, the club's upgrade and they're infront for titles, they're definitely smashing good games with stunning victories.

Luis Enrique deserves his praise for winning the Champions League trophy, but what I won’t agree with you on is that he is better than the past coaches. Because, for instance, will you tell me that Hakimi, Dembele, Joao Neves, and Fabian Ruiz are better than Messi, Mbappe, Ronaldinho, and other players that played for PSG then? No. All you can say is that Luis Enrique was the luckiest one to bring the first Champions League trophy to the club, which the past coaches didn’t have the opportunity to do. It works like that; everyone has his own luck.

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.

First and foremost, it must be acknowledged that Paris Saint-Germain performance has indeed been more consistent and extraordinary this season. Victories over top teams have made the players even more confident in bringing their club back to championship glory this season. However, no team is truly perfect, all will inevitably experience crucial moments that could lead to defeat, even though no team wants to be that team. On the other hand, if PSG can maintain their consistency, their chances of winning the Champions League again are very likely. The key is never to underestimate the opposition, no matter who they are, even if they are a team at the bottom of the table.

[HajiBagi]

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.

The match will be played in Santiago Benarbeu, and we all know how Real Madrid always plays when they play in Santiago Stadium. Real Madrid wants to make sure they perform well in the Champions League, end up in the top 8 for the table, and have a good rest at the end when the remaining teams are playing playoffs to qualify for the next round of the competition. Juventus is not a minor club, as evidenced by their performance against Real Madrid in the Club World Cup, but Real Madrid always finds a way to wins.

With the current performance of Real Madrid players, I believe they can do better than last season. Beating Juventus will not be a problem for Real Madrid because Juventus' current performance is poor, however, if Real Madrid fails to defeat Juventus, it will be a disgraceful performance for the team and Xabi Alonso because it will demonstrate that Xabi Alonso cannot lead Real Madrid to victory over big teams.

Do you really believe that they can even remotely reach the round of 16 or even get close to the quarter-finals? The qualifying round will already be a massacre for them and it seems to me that they are also not very consistent in their championship and this makes them very, very vulnerable in Europe. I don't think they will be able to do it.

If for the round of 16 I still believe Chelsea can do it but for more than that it is still questionable because Chelsea performance is not fully trustworthy sometimes this club looks very strong but at certain times their performance is doubtful which can be called inconsistent but first look at how Chelsea performance in the Champions League because my opinion can also be wrong because Chelsea actually has the potential to be a winner if they are serious like when they were in the CWC no one expected them to get that tittle.

[Tamaperdana]

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.

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.

Yes, Chelsea has truly disappointed its fans. They looked promising at first, but now their performance has deteriorated. Therefore, I don't think Chelsea will be able to last long in the Champions League. Of course, in the Champions League, every team must have excellent performance and be able to maintain that good performance consistently. If a team participating in the Champions League doesn't have both of these qualities, I don't think they will last long. Therefore, Chelsea really needs to improve their current performance.

If they only have this level of performance, they certainly won't be able to advance far in the Champions League. The teams they will face in the upcoming matches will clearly be stronger. Therefore, even though it's true that Chelsea currently has many new players in their squad and several key players are also injured, such as Palmer. But Chelsea still has to fight to perform better. Because there are no shortcuts here to qualify for the next round. So performing well and winning every match is the only option to qualify for the next round.

[Velvet78]

Are you also afraid that it could be crap like: Arsenal controls the ball 70% of the time, Atletico defends, but we don’t see any dangerous moments at all?   Very likely, as Arsenal already have 6 points, and Atletico certainly doesn't want to lose for the second time. The only hope is that Arsenal are so good this season and Atletico's defense is so bad that we will see football that is close to normal.

Exactly this is my concern about this game. Arsenal will be in nearly full control undoubtedly. But they might have problems on breaking Atletico Madrid defense easily. On the other hand, Simeone's team concede a lot of goals this season though but let's see...


One of the opening games of week 3 will be Barcelona - Olympiacos. Hansi Flick's students haven't made a great start in the Champions League. I really expected them to beat PSG while their opponent was lacking so many important names in the attacking line.

Now it is time to make up for this. I expect an easy win for them. 1.19 odds have been given for their win. Not enough... I would rather take -1.5 handicap on Barcelona @1.52 and leave.

[Sim_card]

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.

The difference between PSG and these other two clubs is that, PSG don't rely on any player to in order for them to win their matches. All the players can play very well both their first choice and second choice. Unlike, City and Real Madrid that the absence of some key players will affect their performance.

[7juju]

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.

Chelsea are not the only club that have new players in their team, Arsenal have new players, Tottenham, Bournemouth, Manchester city, Liverpool, all have new players that were recruited in the summer yet they are performing well. Chelsea are too reliant on Cole Palmer and since the young Man hasn't been that fit this season Chelsea has been struggling. Another thing that is making Chelsea to struggle that much this season is because of the red cards they have been picking in almost all their matches. Chelsea haven't won convincingly when they are complete in the pitch, not to talk of winning with red card. New players are not the cause of Chelsea problems.

[martinom]

I also hope so because there is no enough squad depth that will help Barcelona out if this injury crises, they might not be in their best form until all the players are back, but I dont expect them to go bad in their performances despite some injuries.

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.

Despite these injuries, Barcelona is continuing to give its best, with poor results, but the commitment should never be underestimated.
In my opinion it's the opposite, those who will risk will be those of Real Madrid and not Juventus, perhaps they will get a draw as you say, but I really think those who suffer the most are the Spaniards.

[Popkon6]

All the players can play very well both their first choice and second choice. Unlike, City and Real Madrid that the absence of some key players will affect their performance.

PSG have the ability to roar, but whenever they face a strong team, it is very easy to find the difference between the two teams and find the mistakes. In this case, I want to say that if a player of the PSG team is injured or absent, then the pressure is more on the other players to roar with the strong teams. But the PSG team is not a team that will ever give up, each player is ready to fight to the end and can perform well from their respective positions to protect the team's honor.

[bastisisca]

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.

i am not a fan of Arsenal either, obviously, but i try to understand which are, league by league, the strongest teams for many reasons, the first is that i like football, secondly i enjoy betting, so knowing what's happening and which are the strong teams allows me to make accurate and winning bets.
