UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Catenaccio]

What's clearest is that Liverpool lost too many key players in the recent transfer window, including Trent, who has always been a solid defensive force. Arne Slot became overconfident, believing he'd succeeded last season. He forgot that the squad he used last season was entirely Klopp's own. Now he feels he can build an even better squad. And now, in reality, the situation has deteriorated significantly.

However, I wouldn't jump to conclusions too quickly, as Liverpool could indeed bounce back and go further in this UCL season.

Some players left their club in the summer are not key players but are good and safe substitutions for their main squad. Losing both key players to good substitutions is risky and Liverpool through their transfer strategy in the summer actually bet that new star players they bought will quickly adapt to their club in this season. It looked to work well in first five matches even there was some signals of imperfect squad and operations in their first five winnings. It's not too a long time after that, many problems appeared clearer and actually reflected on Liverpool performances and results.

Their four losses recently are very shocked especially they managed to win all first five matches in Premier League with almost similar players. With four continous defeats like this, Liverpool can not deny a crisis in Premier League, and they must admit the existing crisis and try to work hard for escaping it as soon as possible. They must to do this as soon as possible for defending their position in top four while winning a title is almost impossible now.

The reality of football is that huge spending does not translate to success and clubs needs to realize this, I think the major problem with this current Liverpool team why they are having problems is the fact that aside the new players all a contender to play in the starting line up most of them didn?t have any preseason with their fellow team mates and this why they are struggling to actually understand each other.

Most importantly again is the fact that Arne Slot has a lot to do concerning this current form, he is trying to play is own football at this point in time. Last season we all saw that he simply just sticked to the Klopp?s Pattern of play because it was too late for him use his style then, now that he wants to change I think it will take more time because not only it is a new style of play but this is an entirely new team which makes it takes more time

All Liverpool players can have the chance to play as starters in this team but then having taken many new players i agree with you on the fact that they still struggle to understand each other but when they do there will be no escape for anyone,it just takes time

While Liverpool may have done good at Frankfurt game, next game is Real Madrid and I do not think they have a chance to win it. I think it is going to be pretty tough for them to win that game.

Liverpool will definitely going to win that match to increase their points, other teams may have defeated Liverpool in this season but Liverpool will not allow the same mistakes to continue to happen, than to use their next match to prove to people. Frankfurt  team have solid defenders that will make Liverpool strikers to find it difficult to score goals, but if Liverpool is well prepared before meeting Frankfurt, Liverpool will destroy their plan to achieve victory. If Liverpool can win this match, there is no doubt about Real Madrid because Real Madrid too is still experiencing some challenges that will make Liverpool to defeat them as usual.

Last season Liverpool won Madrid by 2 goals to Nil on their matchday 5, November 27 and this season they meet again on matchday 4 happening on November 4, same month different day. I think Madrid are more consistent in terms of performance than Liverpool this season and so I expect a twist of fate this time. Madrid might be experiencing some challenges but it is not as pronounced as that of Liverpool in their domestic league besides Madrid hasn't lost a match yet in the Champions League games so far except Liverpool will change that streak.

What happened last season can't be used as a benchmark. Everything is different now, and Liverpool are in a slump after a string of defeats. It's hard for us all here to believe Liverpool can beat Real Madrid. In fact, I think Real Madrid will be able to destroy Liverpool in this match.
Liverpool's performance in the win against Frankfurt can't be seen or used as a benchmark because Frankfurt is a weak team. So, let's just look at Liverpool's recent performances and compare them to Real Madrid's. There's a clear and significant difference.

I don't follow the Premier League much, but I predict Liverpool will soon be in the Champions League
It has no substance, it's not a team and it doesn't play well at all.
I don't like it in simple terms and therefore I'm convinced that it won't go far

If someone thinks I'm bad, I think the same about my team: Atalanta

[martinom]

This year, they spent a lot of money on transfers. But sometimes, losing just one player can be crucial, even if they signed high priced players. Trent was always in the squad and was key to the team's success in winning both the league and the Champions League. Again, this team looked good in its prime with the attacking trio of Salah, Firmino, and Mane. In defense, the duo of Virgil van Dijk and Matip, along with the central defenders in the back four, were performing exceptionally well.

Now, only Salah and Virgil van Dijk remain from that team's starting 11. This isn't just about money. It's clear that the players weren't signed with a specific system in mind. Liverpool may continue to experience failures.

Despite the players' performances and costs of investments, they are not playing a video game and therefore performances and purchases are numbers.
They are people and people also need to have a certain feeling, especially on the pitch, it seems that they don't have this.
They don't have cohesion and this greatly affects the results it could achieve.

[Akbarkoe]

This match is confusing I also want to watch everything but using multiple screens is not good to see, it will only make your eyes blurry friend, I would rather choose my own favorite team than having to do like you do.

Real Madrid may not be as fierce but they can make sure they win games, look out for that.

Watching your favorite club will be the best because both games will be played at the same time. Since, the two matches will be very interesting to watch, I might end up going to somewhere like a film hall to watch the matches so that, I wouldn't miss any remarkable moment in the matches. I will focus more on the most interesting.

Of course the favorite team will be much more emotional and more exciting to watch, although I also want to watch the next match, but like I said it will make us confused to see it because our focus will be divided.

Don't forget the popcorn and peanuts for your watching buddy, and yes usually if watching in a crowded place betting live on the spot will be very fun with your friends.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid and PSG vs Bayern will be the matches of the round. It’s a shame they’re on at the same time, but I’ll find a multi-screen setup so I can watch them both. Real are leading La Liga and managed to beat Barça over the weekend, but I’m still convinced that, even with their poor form, Liverpool will give Real a lesson at Anfield. Real don’t look great this season, especially in the Champions League, so my money is on Liverpool in this game.

This games are not games that we should not miss for anything except you ain't a football lover because clashes of this type don't always happen in the rounds stage. I have made plans in place to go watch both games in of the classy view centres in my neighborhood because that's where I can watch both at a time.

Now to the main discussion. Liverpool Vs Real Madrid clash isn't what the outcome could be based on a home advantage because teams like Real Madrid can play great football anywhere. In this game Real Madrid stands favourite to win considering how tactically weak Liverpool performance has being in previous games. It's the PSG Vs Bayern Munich game that I could say a home advantage can be taken into mind in influencing the outcome of the game, however a both team scoring would be a safe pick for any gambler because they're both strong contenders

Liverpool is going through a difficult phase this season, especially in the domestic league, but the storm will pass and looking ahead to the Champions League against Real Madrid, anything is possible.
That's not to say that Liverpool's results so far will continue in the Champions League. In general, maybe, but this is football and this is the Champions League. The favorites may not necessarily get the results they expect.

Unfortunately, Liverpool's recent form hasn't been good enough, despite several defeats to weaker clubs. Liverpool will face Real Madrid. Hopefully, against this top club, Liverpool will be more motivated, unlike their usual opponents against smaller clubs, where they've lost not only in the Premier League but also in the Champions League.

What's also interesting is that former Liverpool defender Trent Arnold could be in the starting lineup for the Liverpool vs. Real Madrid match due to Carvajal's injury.

They must to do this as soon as possible for defending their position in top four while winning a title is almost impossible now.

The new transfers could have been to blame, but at first they were winning without the players who left the club, and now, after they've acquired several very expensive players, things have gotten much worse. Liverpool is already seven points behind Arsenal, and I don't think they'll be able to close that difference. They also need to make sure their crisis is over, because if they continue to lose, they could drop even lower. Although I think Sloth is already on the verge of being sacked, and any more losses are unacceptable.

It's hard to accept a team like Liverpool won't go far in Champions League because they don't have a big change to their team and we know strong they were in the past. Although the last 5 match have show how bad their performance in this season.

But, I believe they able to change.

They lose, but their statistic and domination are great.
They lose, but they didn't lose more than one goal difference.

The result is they lose, but their overall performance are still good.

As a Real Madrid fan, it will certainly be very exciting to watch every match played, but as a football fan, there are several things I need to consider such as the opponent faced and the intensity of the match. This time Real Madrid will face Liverpool, in my opinion this match is less exciting than PSG vs Bayern Munich. Liverpool's declining form will make it easier for Real Madrid to dominate the match, at least the result is predictable, so I will focus more on PSG vs Bayern Munich because it will be a very tense show during the match.

It is actually almost a normal for players to struggle with building that chemistry in the initial stage when they just join a team newly, it will take them some time before they will finally blend in , some team does blend in real quick but for a vast majority, it usually takes some time before they will be completely at it with their team mates, thisbis very likely the case at Liverpool but I observe that they initially looked like they were all tagging along until recently they started suffering some setbacks which is now questioning their form and their compatability after quite sometimes. I believe it is just for awhile and they will gwt passed this already soonest.

[bastisisca]

So with that, it's certain that this season, PSG is truly favored again to become champions in the Champions League. Because PSG's current performance is truly amazing. The proof is that PSG is currently very sharp in attack because it is always able to score many goals against the opponent's goal, and their defense is also very good. So with this, it will definitely be very difficult for any team to be able to beat PSG. Because basically, PSG is currently at a very different level from other big teams.

Not only that, they are practically in first place in the French championship too, even if by just one point. Let's say they are managing to manage both the championship and the Champions League.
His coach did a really good job, you don't just need champions to win, you need a team

[Volgastallion]

This Liverpool needs to really improve if they want to be a better team than last year and they need to upgrade the way of playing a lot, in Champions League until now they collect all the points but if you see them in Premier League you can see how many flaws they have in this new team, they are a complete disaster on the defensive side and they dont have anymore that spark on ofensive.

There's something vital I observe about the Liverpool team, they're currently struggling to beat average clubs and this is definitely not good for the club. Common we're talking about a club that have been in a better spot to win games with top notch players, these players have been playing in the English Premier League and that means they understand the system and how it's been patterned. Liverpool manager, Arne Slot should revived the club back to glory days of the former manager, Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool have no other alternative than settling in for the bigger victory because they've fought and earn this spot.

[verdinio]

This has to be one of the expensive spending Liverpool has done on buying players in a single season, initially it felt like they were getting results from this but now the setback they suffer feels like they are no longer getting value for the money they spent on these players, they will definitely get back in form.and possibly the top of the table again before the end of the season, teams like Sunderland that are at the top four currently may likely crash down in the later time and the likes of Liverpool will regain their top positions, even if Arsenal eventually wins the title, Liverpool will mostly finish top four later.

Liverpool are doing what they can, and that's not much considering all the money they've spent to get such strong players who aren't performing as well as hoped but could explode at any moment, so never say never, about what could happen,It definitely takes time

[pewboy]

Yes, that's absolutely true. Last season, PSG actually had an incredible comeback. They almost failed in the early stages, but they bounced back in the play-offs. And after that, they became a consistent team and continued to get good results. And even now, I think PSG still looks very strong and consistent. And perhaps this time they will advance to the next stage without any significant problems. The only obstacle would be if the team had a key player injured. Because that's usually what often stops a team's good performance when it's in top form. However, I doubt PSG will be able to win the title again this season, because the UCL usually always has a different champion every season.

In recent years, PSG have only performed underperforming in some periods, but after all they have pushed a lot and improved a lot.
Now it is one of the most feared teams, the matches are almost always pleasant to watch.
They are managing to maintain the wave of success, injuries are an obstacle for all teams and PSG is not exempt from this.

You're right spending so much doesn't guarantee goo performance or success. We have seen Manchester United and Chelsea spend so much in transfers but still struggle to win matches so I expected every team to learn from their mistakes but then Liverpool went on to splash money on players believing that their squad is perfect and players coming in won't have any problems. Teams fail to understand that high price tags come with tension, players would want to desperately prove themselves which gets to their heads making adaptation more difficult for them.
I expected Slot to struggle in the premier league but he was wise enough to stick to Klopp pattern and it worked out well for him. The only advantage is that he already won them the league so no much pressure on him even as they keep losing games.

All Liverpool players can have the chance to play as starters in this team but then having taken many new players i agree with you on the fact that they still struggle to understand each other but when they do there will be no escape for anyone,it just takes time

You're not wrong they do have a solid team and it will take time to work things out but I don't see them to be unstoppable in any way.
