UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

You can not be so sure about this and I will take this as an assumption and don't forget arsenal has top the table with about 11 points before almost at the ending of the league and yet they still finish in the second position so I doubt if they can win the league though they seems quite inform but they have messed up over the years but if they manage to win that will be good and it will also be their luck but right now the end of the season is still far and so I believe some teams will pick up later and when they do, the league will be very strong and hot for every team.

The 11 points certainly allow them to manage their forces better, given that they have a reasonable advantage they can ration their forces to dedicate themselves a little more to the Champions League, this is an excellent solution when you have an advantage like that.
or they can do a little turnover

You're right, the yardstick should be the same for everyone, but in football it's not entirely easy to use the same yardstick.
However, when evaluating a team's statistics, I think it's fair to compare them in this way.
Let me give you an example: Inter have 9 points in the standings, playing and winning against Ajax, Slavia Prague and USG, none of which are top teams. Juventus has earned 2 points in 3 games,
drawing against Dortmund and Villareal and losing to Real Madrid.
So they faced two top teams and one that is the main contender for the title.
Unfortunately, the schedule plays a huge role in determining the final standings.

It's difficult, because football is strange and that's why it's beautiful. It's clearly a sport that doesn't follow any logic and will never be predictable. However, I think that if Juventus continues like this, they won't be able to go much further and certainly won't be able to have a great championship.

Yea football is beautiful especially if you know how to play because some of the people that don't like football, if you check very well they don't know how to play. I am a lover of football because I know how to play but sometimes it can be very crazy and annoying especially when you have an injury. How do you mean sports doesn't follow any logic? The fact that football is unpredictable doesn't mean it doesn't follow a logic and is there anything on planet earth that doesn't have a logic, well maybe you don't know the logic or you are yet to find out that is why you are sounding this way, I may not know the logic either but I think there's...

This actually happened because Arne Slot attempted to revamp Liverpool's squad during the summer transfer window. And the impact of the departures of several key players is already being felt. Although the team brought in other good players during the transfer window, it seems they haven't been able to build the chemistry they usually display. As a result, they haven't yet developed the beautiful playing style they usually display.

Real Madrid may look better at the moment. However, the situation could be very different in the Champions League. Even teams considered weak can sometimes cause major upsets in the Champions League. Therefore, Liverpool will certainly be more motivated to advance further in the Champions League. They certainly don't want to be embarrassed there.

I mean when the team is having chemistry issues, it's understandable. Because all these new players are asked to learn the way they need to play and they have spent 200+ million on two strikers and it did not worked and they are not scoring and they are looking for even more strikers funny enough.

So when things are not going the way you want it to go, then you realize that it maybe a bad idea to disrupt a team that already won. Spending 500 million pounds on a team that won the league wasn't a smart idea. Just because you may have money, doesn't mean that you should get whoever you want. Worst part is, they overpaid for all of these players, one simple Osimhen for striker would have been better than both Ekitike and Isak.

One thing about most of these players bought with very huge money is that much pressure is always mounted on them since everyone including the media's eyes is on them so sometimes they make errors while pressured to give their all to the team and when they find it tought at first it gets worst cause rival fans don't go easy on them on the media.

 Anyways I'm sure that Liverpool's manager Slot would try to handle the situation before the league goes far, for now they still have to time to recover and prove that they're strong enough to reclaim the tittle, they should even be lucky that they're experiencing such decline in form at the early stage so they'll able to bounce back and correct the errors on the long run.

Just as Derek said, they have always had an opportunity like this, even in a more comfortable position than this, but it's been an endless form of several tries, with failure as an outcome for the most part. I think something is really different with the team's ability in today; considering that they have a player like William saliba in the defense, we shouldn't be expected too many conceived goals from them.
I want to believe in them this time around as they don't have too many chances for their usual 'try' and 'fail'. If they can win even the EPL, so be it.

[verdinio]

I think your prediction is wrong because I don't think Liverpool will be able to win against Real Madrid because at this point we all saw how there game ended with Barcelona so we should not look them less because there winnings will encourage them to actually do better, comapre to Liverpool so I don't expect much from Liverpool this season because both the challenge League and the Premier League they are not performing very well, since you don't want to bet on Madrid then I thi k you should be ready to lose your money because am sure Real Madrid will turnout to be the winner or worst they will play draw.

hey, i also think that Liverpool can manage to win against Real Madrid but I don't know, maybe they are still trying to plug the holes they have and are desperately trying to move forward, in any case they are coming off two hard-fought victories but they still won

[rachael9385]

The odds are in favour of Liverpool to win Real Madrid and i wonder why, compared to Madrid Liverpool are currently slow. Their performance in their league shows how low they have gotten, losing to Brentford was such a big dispointment. But they might have a chance becaue it seems they take the ucl seriously. But I'm going to put my money on Real Madrid to win, they are currently better than liverpool

Although Real Madrid has started to look better than Liverpool in their respective leagues in recent matches, Real Madrid must also be more cautious against Liverpool because the Champions League always presents a tougher challenge, often leading to defeats for teams even considered favorites before the match. So, I see it as a tight match for both teams, because no matter how bad Liverpool's performance in the Premier League this season, Liverpool will certainly continue to fight hard in the Champions League against any opponent.

Madrid still need to be cautious of Liverpool strength, despite their poor performance in the Premier League. On paper, many people see Madrid as the clear favorites, and their recent victory over Barcelona further reinforces that view. We’ve seen plenty of surprises in the Champions League, and it’s not impossible that Liverpool could break their poor run when hosting Madrid at Anfield. Personally, I tend to believe that Madrid will manage to secure all three points, although we know the match is likely to be a tough one for both sides.

You have a point, after their losses they still managed to win their next match in the UCL but you must understand that this is Madrid we are talking about here, there's no way that Liverpool is going to win, not in their current form at the moment. The match is indeed going to be a tough one, I don't expect much goals to be scored. The best tactic Liverpool can pull is to play defense against Madrid

[$weetne$$]

This is where the problems start for Arsenal, they often lose focus in the EPL just to achieve their ambition of winning the UCL trophy. Arteta needs to be more realistic in assessing the situation, after all, they haven't won a prestigious trophy for a long time. Arsenal are currently in their best form, which has led them to the top of the standings. I hope Arteta can do something that will benefit the club and himself rather than not winning a single trophy like in previous seasons.

You know for them at this time the English Premier League is like a big deal since they have not had the opportunity to lift the trophy for a very long time, they are very hopeful that if they win the Premier League, it will boost their confidence to further push for a stronger drive on the champions league and achieve that in the next season possibly, they seem to have more focus on that, but this is one of their best chances since they are in a very solid form, they could try to attempt both equally and we never can tell it could be a histroic season for them.

I really expect Madrid to win. Unless  Mbappe or Vini suffer an injury before the match, Madrid will win. We have seen poor performances from Liverpool for several weeks against strong teams.

We saw Madrid's  performance in El clasico yesterday. Madrid played very well and beat Barcelona. And this will increase the confidence of the players. Liverpool on the other hand are  in very bad form. Liverpool may have won the last match of the champions league , but liverpool has lost four matches in the Premier League and is out of the top 5 of the table. And now the  players are under a lot of pressure. In such a situation, winning against Madrid  is a big challenge for Liverpool.

[hyudien]

I don't know how Liverpool will play Madrid in their current situation. Liverpool finds it very difficult to win a mediocre team which is suppose to be an underdog to them. Real Madrid is picking form and soonest they will attain their peak form making them to become more deadly as the season goes farther. It's will only be a miracle for Liverpool to draw the game.

Liverpool situation is clearly unbelievable at the moment and even though this match is in Anfield I'm pretty sure most bettors will choose Real Madrid, but it's possible that Liverpool can bounce back because usually when the match is between two big teams there is prestige at stake so Liverpool players will be more passionate besides Liverpool must remember that their current position in the standings is starting to be threatened.

[pewboy]

On the other hand, Arsenal's next Champions League match is against Slavia Prague, where Arsenal is sure to win. Since Arsenal and Real Madrid have the possibility of winning two separate matches, I don't think there will be much of a difference in points between Arsenal and Real Madrid right now.

It will be a great match, the Gunners are stubborn and know how to hurt, clearly these guys are very hungry and want to win, even in the truck they are doing very well and I have no doubt that they will do many good things, clearly Real Madrid will not stand by and watch

[TelolettOm]

The championship has just started and nothing has been decided yet, obviously this thing can change like the position in the table, but Arsenal is playing an excellent championship and I think they will continue like this until the end of the matches that I will have available.

Very true. It is still in the league phase, it is a very early of the competition. We can't claim which team to be the champion now. Even if some team could perform very well, it is very possible to change in the next matches. Besides Arsenal, there are other 4 teams which can perform consistently (Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, and Inter Milan). Yep, Arsenal showed great performance until now (both in EPL and in UCL). However, we still can't claim that Arsenal will have a bigger chance to win the UCL trophy now. Let's see when these teams will fight each others!

Therefore, Liverpool will certainly be more motivated to advance further in the Champions League. They certainly don't want to be embarrassed there.

I would guess Arsenal could still beat Real Madrid. While I agree that Real Madrid looks great, and could be even considered better, that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with anything that big of a margin enough to say that a game between these two would be guaranteed win for Real Madrid.

We would see them be in a situation where we could consider this to be a very close game and not like we have to consider this to be a problem at the moment neither since they are not facing right now. Real will face Liverpool, which should be easy if Liverpool keeps playing like this, but Arsenal situation will only be decided later on when the group stages ends. This is why we have to wait and see how the season continues.

You can not be so sure about this and I will take this as an assumption and don't forget arsenal has top the table with about 11 points before almost at the ending of the league and yet they still finish in the second position so I doubt if they can win the league though they seems quite inform but they have messed up over the years but if they manage to win that will be good and it will also be their luck but right now the end of the season is still far and so I believe some teams will pick up later and when they do, the league will be very strong and hot for every team.

The 11 points certainly allow them to manage their forces better, given that they have a reasonable advantage they can ration their forces to dedicate themselves a little more to the Champions League, this is an excellent solution when you have an advantage like that.
or they can do a little turnover

But it's still early days. We need to maximize our performance in both the domestic league and the Champions League. The gap in the domestic league isn't too wide yet, because with just two games left, we could be overtaken by the team currently in second place. In the Champions League, we've only played three games so far, with five remaining. If we can secure at least five or six wins, then we can say we're safe and can make substitutions with peace of mind.

Increasing playing time for other players is excellent for strengthening the team, as if something were to happen to the key players, they would have experienced substitutes who can overcome any lack of confidence.

Well it's normal for everyone not to believe in arsenal again because they have gotten even better opportunities like this with the table and still fuck it up at the end but don't you guys feel something actually different this time around? I mean arsenal seem to be more focuse and I just pray that arteta finds a way to hold up the end of season pressure because that's the particular time they do flop and lose points.

It's not about feeling something different... I don't even feel whatever it is that you feel about their performances this time around, but all we want to see is results. "It's like getting used to jumping in water, but still can't swim". At this point, we want to see them hold on till the end of the season, and untill the trophy is being lifted up by the team's captain, I won't still believe in them.
Let's not forget that other teams are not sleeping on this same quest to wina trophy.. With that knowledge, the competition continues.

I agree to that, the consistent performance of a team at this first phase of the competition never justifies it dominance at the remaining game of the competition.
Last season Apart from Paris saint German that where crowned champions of Europe, other teams like Real Madrid and Aston villa that advanced to the next phase after the the first phase where not expected because of there inconsistent performance at the first phase making fans lost hope on them but they turned to prove all wrong at last when they turned the table around to make it among the best.

Drawing conclusion at this first phase of the competition is never the best because any team can be hit by injury and other related factors but I think arsenal deserves to go home with something this season because they have maintained a consistent performance for the past few seasons that they need to bag something this season no Matter how small

That’s right, Arteta should learn from last season failure and be wise in setting his priorities this year. We understand that it’s not an easy task to maintain consistent performances across all competitions, so Arteta must evaluate his team chances realistically.
At the moment, Arsenal comfortably sit at the top of the Premier League table. They appear stronger than Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham in several aspects. So at a glance, they seem closer to winning the Premier League trophy than the Champions League. Arteta has spent a significant amount of the club’s budget to build squad depth, and this season, they really shouldn’t finish as runnersup for the fourth consecutive time.

It is absolutely impossible to predict which team will be the champion before the quarter finals. As we saw last season, Liverpool played brilliantly in the group stage. The team was at the top  of the table. Won 7  matches in a row. But in the first match of the knockout round, Liverpool was eliminated from the champions league after losing against PSG. Now at the top of the table are PSG, Munich, Arsenal, Inter and Madrid with wins in all their matches. But how the teams will perform in the knockout round  is unknown to us

[puloweh555]

Although Real Madrid has started to look better than Liverpool in their respective leagues in recent matches, Real Madrid must also be more cautious against Liverpool because the Champions League always presents a tougher challenge, often leading to defeats for teams even considered favorites before the match. So, I see it as a tight match for both teams, because no matter how bad Liverpool's performance in the Premier League this season, Liverpool will certainly continue to fight hard in the Champions League against any opponent.

Madrid still need to be cautious of Liverpool strength, despite their poor performance in the Premier League. On paper, many people see Madrid as the clear favorites, and their recent victory over Barcelona further reinforces that view. We’ve seen plenty of surprises in the Champions League, and it’s not impossible that Liverpool could break their poor run when hosting Madrid at Anfield. Personally, I tend to believe that Madrid will manage to secure all three points, although we know the match is likely to be a tough one for both sides.

You have a point, after their losses they still managed to win their next match in the UCL but you must understand that this is Madrid we are talking about here, there's no way that Liverpool is going to win, not in their current form at the moment. The match is indeed going to be a tough one, I don't expect much goals to be scored. The best tactic Liverpool can pull is to play defense against Madrid

Even at their best, Liverpool struggles to beat Real Madrid, let alone their current slump. I'm not underestimating Liverpool's strength, but as you can see, Liverpool are currently experiencing consecutive defeats when the team is going through a bad period. It's very difficult to recover, especially against an on-fire Real Madrid.

So I'm optimistic that Real Madrid will win this match easily. Liverpool are currently in a poor run, having lost many of their star players, their strength isn't what it was last season. Liverpool have brought in new players, but so far, Arne Slot has failed to unite their strengths, or in other words, hasn't found chemistry between the players. After watching yesterday's El Clasico I'm willing to bet without hesitation on a Real Madrid victory, even though the match is being played at Liverpool's home ground.

[Stablexcoin]

Liverpool situation is clearly unbelievable at the moment and even though this match is in Anfield I'm pretty sure most bettors will choose Real Madrid, but it's possible that Liverpool can bounce back because usually when the match is between two big teams there is prestige at stake so Liverpool players will be more passionate besides Liverpool must remember that their current position in the standings is starting to be threatened.

We can no longer trust Liverpool to deliver brilliant performance like they used to, they've been struggling even against clubs we least expected to find difficulty winning. They will be playing a big club Real Madrid in the Champions League, aside from the El Clasico Madrid played with rage, they are also not doing very well, we can say the same for both teams due to their recent performance.

I believe the match to be a difficult one, there will be no favorite in this game, both teams have the chance of winning the fixture.
