UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[giorgione]

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.

It is precisely for this reason that given their performances which are decidedly inconsistent, I would tell you that it will be impossible to see them win anything, it is clear that these players want to do well and put in high numbers, but it is not always possible to do so, their results are totally unreliable and this does not give them much confidence, if they do it it will be totally unexpected.

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.

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.

I also have the same thought. PSG performs well regardless of whether they play with their best squad or with any other lineup, and I think this is one of the factors that helped them win the Champions League last season. PSG not only has good players, but they also have a reliable coach with his smart strategy, and when it all synergizes well, so what was initially just a team with star players (and their respective egos)  has now become a very solid and cohesive team.

This season might be quite tough for PSG because they got a bad draw in the League stage. Even though they have managed to beat Atalanta and Barcelona, but PSG still have to face Leverkusen, Munich, Hotspur, Sporting, Bilbao, and Newcastle. There are no easy opponents at all in the upcoming match.

Winning the FIFA Club World Cup was a complete surprise for Chelsea. They came out of nowhere and lifted the trophy. However, since then some fans have started to sing Chelsea's praises more than necessary, they are certainly a good team. But they are not as strong as they are being made out to be. I am not insulting Chelsea or Chelsea fans or talking down to them. They still have a lot of room for improvement and they are not yet strong enough to win any trophies.

Hi everyone,

Is anyone here using AI to analyze matches?

[bastisisca]

..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.

I didn't know him as a coach, i am discovering him now and he seems like a really good coach.
At the moment the new coaches that i didn't know and that i like are Fabregas and Arteta.
Then the classics Gasperini and Allegri, moving on to Flick but these are all well-known names.
He's doing really well at Arsenal.

[m4r1o]

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.

Chelsea are certainly doing their best, but in the next match against Nottingham they must take the result home.
Even if one of the most competitive is still sufferng, let's also remember that in the Champions League they don't have easy teams to face, PSG is one of those that pushes the most for scoring.
I don't know if they will be able to win UEFA, it perhaps seems too demanding to me.

[MArsland]

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.

So, who's an Arsenal fan? LoL  

Anyway, you're right that Arsenal have been waiting for a win trophy long time, but not the UCL trophy. Perhaps if they were aiming for the Premier League, their chances would be quite good. Especially amidst the inconsistent form of Liverpool and Manchester City, Arsenal simply need to maintain their form. But if rivals like Liverpool and Manchester City return to their best form, Arsenal will automatically return to their usual routine: defending the trophy to present to the champions.

I think Chelsea still has a long way to go in the Champions League. They have once beaten PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup. Although the situation in the Champions League is definitely different, Chelsea might still have to work hard to compete for the trophy.
Currently, Chelsea's focus is on important matches that must be won. They were not good enough in the match against Munich, and they still have several matches against strong teams. Some of them, I think, are Barcelona and Napoli. At the very least, they must secure a spot in the next round.

For the past three seasons, Arsenal has consistently performed well at the start and failed in the final weeks. So, almost 90% of their season performances have been good. Only the final 10% of the season results in failure. I'm not an Arsenal fan, but I've been following them closely since Arteta took over as manager. I've become interested in this team. And honestly, I've won a lot of bets on Arsenal. They rarely disappoint me compared to other teams. Manchester City used to be a favorite of mine, but I've stopped betting on them, as their performance has been inconsistent recently and since last season, in fact. We always need information and knowledge about a club and league to make the most accurate predictions possible for our bets. And yes, that's always quite helpful.

So far Arsenal have always had difficulty winning the Premier League trophy, especially the UCL Trophy, which has a more competitive level of competition than the domestic league. Even though Arsenal is considered a big team in the EPL, when they are in the UCL they always have difficulty competing with other big clubs. This season will probably be the same as previous seasons, Arsenal will again fail in the UCL, so even though the trophy in this competition is much more prestigious, Arsenal must prioritize the EPL trophy, especially since some of their rivals are not in their best form.

reagansimms you are correct, Arsenal finds it difficult to win the premier League title and also the champions League title, when it comes to champions League just like you said they usually find it very difficult to win Big teams however I believe this season will be different for them they are very informed this season and they can stand any team in the champions League, I'm not sure they can lift the champions League title but I'm very sure that they will go far in the champions League competition because they are very much informed and can stand any team.
The only teams I think can give Arsenal hard time in this season champions League title race are Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid the rest team Arsenal can fight for a win and get it easily.
Arsenal is a very good and inform team however lifting trophy is just a big problem for them because of inconsistency but this season I believe inconsistency will not be their problem anymore they will do everything possible to lift at least a trophy this season.

[Fuso.hp]

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.

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.

PSG has that ability and they have the ability to perform well even with an injured team. Currently we can see that some important players of PSG are injured but they are playing in big matches without including all those players in the team where PSG ensures victory and then leaves the field. PSG last played against Barcelona in the Champions League where PSG ensured victory and in that match too we noticed the absence of several important players. However, PSG cannot always do well with such a team so they have to try to stay injury free so that they can perform great against any opponent and they can maintain the winning streak. Last season PSG won the Champions League title and this season too PSG fans will expect a lot more from them in the Champions League.

[banana33]

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.

In the Champions League you cannot do things intermittently, there are all selected teams and obviously those that have greater performances.
So if you enter the Champions League you either concentrate on competing or you don't last long enough to get close to the final.
Enough with the adaptation story but they're playing, they don't have to adapt to speaking a different language, right? Do they earn a lot of money and are they like sissies?

I am not very optimistic about PSG yet because of the victory against Barcelona, ​​the main reason is that both teams were affected by injuries. Barcelona was more affected. Due to the absence of two key players in the attack, we did not see an offensive performance from Barcelona. Even their defense was inconsistent, for which we can blame the off-form of the defenders. Despite the injuries to some key players in the PSG team, PSG was not too damaged, they seemed strong from the beginning and were trying to attack Barcelona. In the end, they were able to secure the victory. We cannot consider PSG strong because of that one match, their winning statistics against big teams are not good.

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.

IMO Arteta is a good coach, this is not hype but a reality. Arteta took over when the team was struggling and going through a difficult period and he came in and turned things around even though it took four to five seasons to get to where they are today but people get it all wrong when they rate a manager’s performance by the number of trophies he wins in a short time disregarding the gradual progression he brings to the team.

Arteta might have not won a major trophy yet but he has built the team to a highly competitive level to compete against the best teams in the world which to me is enough impact.

Arteta is a good coach and has done great contributions for Arsenal as he is a first coach after Arsene Wenger retirement, managed to lead the club to second position in Premier League in three seasons, and more impressively to a UEFA Champions League semi finals. All these things are great contributions from Arteta and good achievements of Arsenal but surely they are not satisfied there and want to improve for winning titles.

He truly needs to win big titles with Arsenal in order to be recognized as a successful club in Arsenal but let's treat him fairly, as without titles, his contributions are already great and undeniable.

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.

The injury is affecting them seriously but they are still trying to keep up but seems its not working in there favor the more they are getting poor results the more they are still putting in more effort and this is the same thing that happened to real Madrid last season, and now Barcelona is facing the same thing and now Madrid is showing some balance and injury have a way of slow down the performance of a club and also given bad result and that is why it is good to have a good backup plans when things like this pop up, and maybe because of the financial challenges is not helping at all so at this point lets see how long they will be able to manage this, maybe till they recover.

Arteta is a manager I really admire. He's been with Arsenal for many years and has gradually brought them to a better level. While they haven't won the Premier League title, they've mostly finished second. Furthermore, because they were in Manchester City's prime, they were very difficult to beat. They've been better this year, but Arsenal may be able to win the title by the end of the year.

Barcelona is facing an injury crisis with about eight key players suffering from different issues. Dani Olmo, Gavi, Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, Raphinha, Joan Garcia, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Robert Lewandowski are all injured. Hansi Flick's side is hopeful that Yamal and Lopez will fully recover very soon. In PSG's case Ousmane Dembélé, Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves are nursing different injuries that will keep them out of play. Nevertheless, these big teams still have good substitutes that can serve as good backups.

The most concern about this injuries is around the young players, i mean Lewandowsky is ok to be injured when you have so many games played in a short period of time, but the young ones... come on guys, stop to fuck or make something, youa re in your peak of body.

Lets see how they evolve, and how much this cost to the team.
