UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[GiftedMAN]

Sincerely speaking Arsenal deserve a major trophy this season because they have been working hard over the years to build the team with their young players and the manager has tried to improve their performance it will be a thing if you to see him liberating Arsenal from their trophy drought this season if they manage to win the champions League or the league title. Arsenal has the most patience fans since they have been struggling to win trophies their fans has remained hopeful, if they finally take advantage of the poor performance of most times in the league this season their fans will be more happy to celebrate their manager Arteta.

Arsenal have been in a good shap since the season started and they really deserved to achieve a trophy this time around. But the problem is that they can't keep doing well because is not this season Arsenal start with a good form and at the end they will start to perform a weak games with the opponent at last, you will see they will drop point and come down from the top table. Anything can be possible so let see if Arteta will do all is best this time and achieve title for Arsenal since they already topping the league tables.

The previous seasons where Arsenal started very well but ended up losing the title should be a good lesson for them but this season should be where they stand up against every challenge that will stop them from ending up the same way they ended in those previous seasons. Currently they are the best performing team in the league because they are at the top of the table, they can end up winning the league should they continue without dropping points half way as they have always down in the past. Arteta can change that style of Arsenal he should motivate his boys to fight to the end and he will see them winning the league.

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.

Six solid seasons without a major trophy is not something to admire but then again, I'm forced to agree that he has brought them to a better level,  this is not the same Arsenal Mikel Arteta left Manchester City for,  he has done enough transformation in the boys and fans. What I don't like is when football fans can not exercise the same patience when it comes to Manchester United. You want a new rebuild and transformation but you want the management to sack every manager that tries to do that. Winning the title comes with a lot of hard working put in, I believe this is just the perfect season for that to happen.

Arteta has done incredibly well in rebuilding the team within this 5 years and no trophy, but if we compare or look at the number of years that Arsen winger spent there without lifting the major trophy we're looking forward to, The Premier league, chairman league or Europa Cup etc, it isn't no where compared to Arteta current time, and for Manchester United United side,  before you expect fans and management team to exercise patient on a coach, we must have seen the green light that these coach will do greatly, but all he needs is time, but when it comes to some managers who has managed United since Alex Ferguson left the club and retired, they're obviously not promising to get Man United back on track.

Barcelona attack is sick because almost all the attackers are on injury and that will affect their performance especially, when they face a strong team. On the other hand, PSG has the best substitute to replace the injured ones since the team strength is a combined effort. PSG can perform brilliantly, without any of their injured players.

A team that will always succeed is a team that has the perfect replacement for every player, a team that doesn't depend on a particular pair of players to win their matches, and that is the problem in Barcelona, everything revolves around Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, other players can be helpful but not effective as it would be when the actual pairs are active in the game.

PSG without a big star that was claimed to be the backbone of the team were able to win the Champions League, PSG faced Barcelona and won them, all with a reason of having too many injured players, a coach should be able to access the team and arrange in a way that there is a perfect replacement for each position, building a team on exact players won't work for them in times of too many injuries.

This year UEFA Champions League campaign is quite confusing like I'm not really seeing the teams that are always the favorite to win it I'm not seeing them to be the favorite this time, I know this might sound hilarious to many but I'm seeing Arsenal to be the favorite to win that league, I'm not saying it as an Arsenal fans but I'm saying it out of my observation, in this season we have the like of Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Paris Saint Germain, to stand a better chance to win the UEFA Champions League, but I don't see Paris Saint Germain to have got the ability to defend it as I'm seeing Bayern Munich not having the will to fight to finish, but Arsenal have got all it takes and more eager to win it and it might come to pass.

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.

I would guess that their depth could be the issue, or their training could be. Whatever they did for the summer camp obviously didn't work that well. They weren't in CWC doing wonders neither, and they weren't in any national team games, it wasn't any season for euro or world cups, so they should have trained better to get ready.

In the end, Barcelona has a lot of young players, and a lot of old players as well, so training to get your body ready is the most important part for all of them. If they ignore that part then we are not going to see them dop that much well. Hopefully they will get better and healthier and won't face that much issues, otherwise this is going to cause a lot of problems for them, it is not going to be great.

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.

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.

Barcelona attack is sick because almost all the attackers are on injury and that will affect their performance especially, when they face a strong team. On the other hand, PSG has the best substitute to replace the injured ones since the team strength is a combined effort. PSG can perform brilliantly, without any of their injured players.

I add Barcelona's next two matches to my running bet without knowing that some Barcelona key players are injured. Barcelona's injury crisis can influence Barcelona not to play the option I played them in my bet. Since some of the teams I select will start playing on Saturday, my instinct is telling me to cash out the game and remove Barcelona and rebet the game, but I am confident Barcelona can win Girona and olympiacos even though Barcelona will play without its key players.

What we should know is that every season teams tends to have difference in form. This is natural because it's really hard for a team to maintain thesame form and take it to the next season, you don't expect Barcelona keep playing at the top like that of last season. The success of any team is tied down to how fit and inform their players are and we can see that last season Barcelona players were not easily going to injuries but this season Barcelona has some of their key players like Yamal in and out and this is definitely going to affect their performance but I still see Barcelona as a threat to the laliga title race.

PSG was the team with the serious injury before the clash and they entered it still without those injured players. Barcelona on the other hand only didn't have Raphinha as one of the main men that didn't make the lineup for Barca. So I don't really understand why you're saying both teams were affected by injuries. PSG didn't have their 3 key attackers in that match just incase you have forgotten.

Raphinha has got a very key role in Barcelona that may actually be enough to have cost them that game, one thing we sometimes fail to understand about key players is in the fact that these players do not affect the team only by their performance but their presence too has got some psychological effects on their team mates and that is why in some games they can still be present, do nothing and still have their team winning, so for these key players they affect the team in either a good or bad way psychologically and with their performance and that is why Barcelona may not have as much injuries as PSG but may still loose to them.

It is not difficult to play in the same form for a consecutive two seasons. If so, we wouldn't have seen clubs winning leagues back to back. It is easy to maintain form across seasons when you don't disrupt your team by making unnecessary sales and signings, when you do not change the coach. Even if there should be changes, it shouldn't be more than 10% provided you already have a working team.

Barcelona didn't make major sales and they also did not change their coach, so they and even PSG are expected to perform in that high standard again this season. They are experiencing challenges because of the injury of Yamal. When the young star returns, I believe that the team will stabilise.

You're right, the energy that's required to play in the Champions league competition is always different from the used in the domestic league because is assumed to be where best of teams from various league came together to showcase superiority or indeed they're the best over other team, and that's why teams are well prepared and usually make use of their best players/team to play in the Champions league competition.

Champions league requires another level of competitiveness. Even if you’re the best from your domestic league, you would have to show another level of strength and perform optimally well as you should in this competition. Champions league competition is just the competition not for the weak team, your strength in your domestic league is not enough to crown you the best in Europe until you’ve proven it here once again. You can make use of all your best players here because weak players won’t get you to win the trophy. With the confirmation from this competition and after winning it, you can then now boast as the best team in all leagues competition in Europe.

[M47AK16]

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.

I would say that depends on their opponents to be fair. I mean can they be in the top 24 of the group stages? Yeah they can, they are good enough to do that. Can they face some silly little team at playoff stage? They can, it all depends on their lucky, look at how they won CWC, they didn't face any great teams until the final game.

So if they do end up facing easier teams, there is a chance they can go to last sixteen or even as far as quarter finals if they are super lucky, we end up seeing a lot of them. If you are careful then you can bet on them and get lucky. But do I think they can win? Of course not, there is no way that they can win this season, they are going to end up losing eventually, just not sure when.

They've been better this year, but Arsenal may be able to win the title by the end of the year.

All hopes are on Arsenal to win one major title this season, especially from their fans, it is very true and an undeniable fact that arteta has been of a serious help to Arsenal since ever he assumed the position of the team manger but this challenge of winning a major trophy has been his battle, his journey at the Emirates will be more fulfilling if he eventually gets one of these trophies and this season look more like it as there are a whole lots of situations for him to take advantage of and get the team their dreams.

Sincerely speaking Arsenal deserve a major trophy this season because they have been working hard over the years to build the team with their young players and the manager has tried to improve their performance it will be a thing if you to see him liberating Arsenal from their trophy drought this season if they manage to win the champions League or the league title. Arsenal has the most patience fans since they have been struggling to win trophies their fans has remained hopeful, if they finally take advantage of the poor performance of most times in the league this season their fans will be more happy to celebrate their manager Arteta.

Yes we all know Arsenal have tried and did what they considered to be their best to win major titles in the past but have failed that’s because they lack the mentality and the hunger. When you see Arteta’s Arsenal perform well, it feels as if it gets to their head before you know it they lose momentum and that’s what has caused them the titles over the years. Arteta needs to instill in his players to spirit and desire to win, the hunger and drive to fight for it, they fumble when it matters most. This season they have a good squad and what’s left is their own determination.

I'm not an fan of Arsenal either, but I supported Arsenal to win the Premier League title in the past three seasons because I didn't want my bitter rivals to win the Premier League, but Arsenal allowed Manchester City and Liverpool to win the Premier League title in the past three seasons. Even though I will support Arsenal to win the Premier League title again this season, I will lower my expectations because Arsenal can disappoint you anytime.

Arsenal have performed quite well at the start of this season, currently sitting in first place in the Premier League, and they've also shown consistency in the Champions League, making them a team to be reckoned with to lift major trophies this season.
They look tactically better than in previous seasons, which is a good improvement. However, they've struggled to maintain momentum, which sometimes prevents them from finishing games with maximum results, and that can potentially putting their position at risk.
If Arteta can further improve Arsenal's performance, iron out the minor issues, and maintain good player rotation, they should be able to lift major trophies this season.

Comparing Barcelona's last season form to this season, that of last season is very much better than the current season. Barcelona this season have lost consistency making it difficult to withstand opponents with a good attacking strength capable of capitalising of opponents weakness but can still come back to full fitness before the end of the season. Since the starting of the season, yamal have being faced with series of injures that serves as some of the reasons behind there weak performance.

Arsenal have always started the league in this fashion for years, they have that spirit to always win games in the first half of the season but keeping up have always been their issue and I believe the same thing will happen again this season. We have seen how they are already having injury crises in the team, it will be a big blow for them if they have any of their central defense out for a long time.

Well if they can surprise a lot of people and win the league this season will be a good thing for them, but I have a big doubt about that.

They host Atletico Madrid in the champions league this coming week and that also a big test for them.

This year UEFA Champions League campaign is quite confusing like I'm not really seeing the teams that are always the favorite to win it I'm not seeing them to be the favorite this time, I know this might sound hilarious to many but I'm seeing Arsenal to be the favorite to win that league, I'm not saying it as an Arsenal fans but I'm saying it out of my observation, in this season we have the like of Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Paris Saint Germain, to stand a better chance to win the UEFA Champions League, but I don't see Paris Saint Germain to have got the ability to defend it as I'm seeing Bayern Munich not having the will to fight to finish, but Arsenal have got all it takes and more eager to win it and it might come to pass.

Arsenal are a good team - but I've always doubted them almost every season. If they had the mentality and ability - Arsenal should have won last season, not this season. This season has not been Arsenal's - even if you think they've been performing well. Several other top teams look more likely to win it than Arsenal - but Arsenal's chances remain.

As a Liverpool fan - I really hope they can win it, but I don't have high hopes for this season as long as Arne Slot and the management can't improve their squad depth. Liverpool have defensive issues, but I think they can still be improved.

On the other hand, PSG has the best substitute to replace the injured ones since the team strength is a combined effort. PSG can perform brilliantly, without any of their injured players.

Barcelona’s starting players are really good, but their substitutes aren’t at the same level.
As you said, PSG has the advantage of having strong backup players, when someone gets injured, they can easily bring in another player who performs just as well.
Barcelona doesn’t have that luxury. They depend too much on a few key players, and without them, it’s hard for them to be successful. For example, when Yamal isn’t playing, their matches become much more difficult.

Barcelona this season have lost consistency making it difficult to withstand opponents with a good attacking strength capable of capitalising of opponents weakness but can still come back to full fitness before the end of the season. Since the starting of the season, yamal have being faced with series of injures that serves as some of the reasons behind there weak performance.

This is what actually defines a team, last season when Real Madrid was heavily faced with injuries we were meant to understand from Barcelona fans perspective that it doesn’t stops anything and that a better team will have found  a way round it, so now I think no one is actually rendering them any excuses like they didn’t give to anyone. If you look at the two top clubs in Spanish you will see that even with little crisis last season they still fought for each competition till the end but I don’t think Barcelona is actually trailing that way now.

For me I wouldn’t make any team favourite or rather rule out any club at this point of the season because it is still very early to me to get a clear favourite. In fact the club that most of the time triumphs in this champions league usually do have a poor start and then get improved in the second half of the season I think it might also happen so I am not ruling Barcelona out

It happens that Yamal is not the only good player in that squad but he has been able to make the team place some dependency on him to the point that now they feel weak in his absence, a thing I do not consider good enough because the Barcelona we know before now was mostly based on team play and so the absence a player at that time does not cost them a whole game like that.  Moving forward I believe they will get all of this fixed and have the team back solid in their form as we have compared them before now.

if you said that arsenal is among the top four or five favourite teams to win this season champion league I may not argue with you but seen arsenal as the best favorite team to win champions League i don't believe in that,I don't know whether you always watch arsenal come with bayern Munich ,psg and some other teams like that.arsenal are not playing a confused football like those that will likely win the champion league this season,arsenal are just good in their defend line but honestly arsenal forward is not as great as psg,bayern Munich , Liverpool and Barcelona and others like that and without the strength of f the attackers the team will be going no where because they will hardly get goals and that is what even happen last season,this season arsenal have signed many of players especially attacking line but honestly I have not seen their works as I expected.but let just see what will happen in the few match in this champion league.
