UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Nheer]

This is Liverpool we're talking about here and not any random team that's struggling, Liverpool will do well next season and this season, it's just a matter of time for these players to blend well.

Well saying Liverpool will do well depends on what doing well means to you. But generally I think anything other than not winning the league will mean that they didn't do well based on the standards they set last season. It's obvious that no matter what they do they won't be winning the league even if they improve their performance. Last season Manchester City struggled but we're still able to make top 4 but that doesn't mean they did well because they didn't match the standards they have set in the league. I also believe they will get better and when they fully blend well and the new signings adapt fully they will be on a different level.

What Liverpool has done in the Champions League isn't bad at all,they beat Real Madrid at Anfield, something few teams manage to do at home. But there's still a long way to go in the Champions League. Personally, I think they need to step up and play the same way they played against Real Madrid in the Premier League, because they're doing poorly So it would be counterproductive for them to play well now and not qualify for the next Champions League.

True they did well against Real Madrid and still gave a poor performance in the league against Manchester City so it means something is definitely wrong somewhere. They are definitely not the favorites to win the champions league anymore because of their inconsistency but doesn't mean they can't win it. Let's hope things change after the international break.

I can see that everyone here is busy talking of Paris Saint Germain vs Tottenham Hotspur against their next match, for which I also fully support Paris Saint Germain due to their last performances despite some poor defensive games. However, I am so optimistic to see an outcome of Barcelona vs Chelsea. I will vividly say it may be the toughest match in the Champions League next week or in the next 5 days. We all know that these two teams are strong enough to beat each other to some extent, which I believe that many of the Barcelona and Chelsea fans are actually waiting for this particular day in order to banter with each other. Well, I am so curious about the match outcome or results rather.

Responding to the PSG vs Spurs match, maybe you also have to consider the PSG players who are injured and some players will not perform optimally in the upcoming match. And for the Chelsea vs Barcelona match, for now I only have a feeling that maybe a draw will happen again. Previously, both teams had both drawn against weaker teams and in the history of matches between these 2 teams, they often got draws. That way in the meantime I have the option of betting on the double chance Chelsea or draw which might be profitable. But I haven't checked again what the odds are for this option.

And it looks like you also have to see another interesting match between Man City vs Leverkusen.

Chelsea's chances of winning may be slightly better considering they are playing at home, but Barcelona will aim to win the match. Raphinha and Joan Garcia are likely to recover in time and be ready to play, which would be a great addition to Hansi Flick's squad considering several other players are currently injured.

Joan Garcia is another bonus for their defense but the defense still remains horrible , chelsea has attackers as well  so it’s all about netting as much as much as possible goals from both side that day. I’m not sure how their defense has been serving too lately but I believe it should be better compared to that of Barca.
Hanson flick still has a lot of work to do between now till then regarding it defense if he truly want to win them.

This match reminds me of the Drogba era, which is still a topic of discussion among fans on social media, but yes this match is indeed difficult to predict. Both Chelsea and Barcelona are in good form and can beat each other, Chelsea may have a slight advantage playing at home, and if they can exploit Barcelona fragile defense, they can win. But of course Barcelona can do anything.

Chelsea and Barcelona have both dropped three points in three matches, with one loss apiece. This match will certainly be a tough one, but both will be hoping to secure all three points to maintain their chances of progressing to the next round. Barcelona are a bit shaky defensively, but they excel in attack and scoring goals. Chelsea are the opposite, but I think both teams will score in this match regardless of the winner.

Chelsea's chances of winning may be slightly better considering they are playing at home, but Barcelona will aim to win the match. Raphinha and Joan Garcia are likely to recover in time and be ready to play, which would be a great addition to Hansi Flick's squad considering several other players are currently injured.

Chelsea, playing at their home ground Stamford Bridge, certainly wants to win to satisfy their fans at home, not wanting to be humiliated and lose in front of their own fans. Don't underestimate Chelsea too much; in the Club World Cup, many underestimated Chelsea, but they managed to thrash PSG in the final and become champions. In Chelsea's main squad, there isn't a single injured player, so they can field a full team, but unfortunately, Chelsea does not have a competent target man CF. In last summer's transfer market, they even bought a useless player, Liam Delap, who is of no use; perhaps Nicholas Jackson is better and more capable compared to Liam Delap.

[Just Say]

An underdog can also pull some surprises, so follow your gut. But I won't be betting on Tottenham to win. They have a lengthy injury list. About eleven of Spur's players are injured, and one injured player that's of particular concern to me is Mohammed Kundus. He's been brilliant since joining Spurs, and I feel like in his absence, they are struggling to win matches. They will be without one key player that can make a huge difference.

Injuries aside even with Tottenham's first eleven assuming no injuries were recorded before now we all know Tottenham can't pull out a victory against PSG. I don't think such surprise can come through this season. Going by injuries PSG also  has eight  of their key players injured too, I think it's a fair ground to this regards let both teams prove themselves.

Paris Saint-Germain will also be desperate for a win after their previous match, losing to Bayern Munich. So, I also think Tottenham will lose this match.

Honestly, when analyzing, I prioritize analysis that fits the situation rather than considering surprises. While we may be presented with unexpected surprises, it's better to analyze objectively based on the reality of the two teams competing. I even think Paris Saint-Germain could win by a fairly large margin. We know their current form is different from previous seasons.

Absolutely true Paris Saint-Germain are also desperate for a win after losing to Bayern Munich in the previous match, but when analyzing this match, it seems that the victory of the match between PSG and Tottenham can be tilted in both teams' favor. However, it is already clear that Paris Saint-Germain will welcome Spurs to the French capital, even if it will be their fifth UCL match, so I expect it to be a tight match. You have rightly pointed out that the analysis that suits the situation must be given priority because these two teams have enough power. There was no shortage of competition between these two teams because they were in a very destructive mood in the European Super Cup and their result there was resolved by penalties.

This confirms that there is no inconsistency in the PSG team and and they won't make any mistakes in this UCL game, but Spurs will not forget the defensive part in their upcoming UCL match in the French capital, so based on the reality of both teams, it seems that they can make every effort to win this competition.

Round 5 actually has a lot of big matches like PSG vs Tottenham, Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan, and people often talk about them as fans of their favorite clubs. However, the Chelsea vs Barcelona match is always exciting because both teams play an open and enjoyable game. Especially under coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona's matches are always goal-packed, as is Chelsea's. I'm confident the Chelsea vs Barcelona match will be a goal-packed one, and I predict Barcelona will steal a point at Chelsea's home ground, especially with the return of key players from injury.

[Bigjoe33]

Paris Saint-Germain, with their quality squad, has the potential to win this Champions League match. Furthermore, Tottenham isn't a team of their caliber. However, they shouldn't be underestimated, as the English are a team that can surprise with results in any match. Paris Saint-Germain may seem like the favorites for now, but it's important to remember that they lost their last Champions League match at home to Bayern Munich.

~snip~

PSG is the favourite club to win this match; we all know how good PSG is in performance. Tottenham have been struggling this season; they are not in good form. Moreover, PSG will be playing at home, which means they have the upper chance of winning this match. Although I know football is full of surprises, I’m seriously expecting PSG to win the match regardless of how it will turn out to be. Tottenham are not in good form; PSG can win easily.

Your analysis of who becomes winner of the game is not out of place, but you should also put in mind that PSG are suffering some injuries and this has in so many ways reduce the quality play. We saw them been easily won by the Giants of Germany, Beyern Munich in there last champions league clash, making them more vulnerable to loses to other teams. So the injuries are really a problem to them.

Then on the other hand is Tottenham Hotspur, a team with low performance this season. We have heard little or nothing from them this season. But its champions league, and they might up there game greatly, also wanting to take advantage of the injuries and do a wonder thing that day. You know, when a team faces a well doing team, they would always want to play with more zeal knowing that they might get disgraces with much goals if they don't sit up. So, I believe PSG wouldn't face an easy side, and whoever wins would rejoice home. But am not seen as easy take for PSG despite the poor performance of Tottenham Hotspur recently

[Ahli38]

This is Liverpool we're talking about here and not any random team that's struggling, Liverpool will do well next season and this season, it's just a matter of time for these players to blend well.

What Liverpool has done in the Champions League isn't bad at all,they beat Real Madrid at Anfield, something few teams manage to do at home. But there's still a long way to go in the Champions League. Personally, I think they need to step up and play the same way they played against Real Madrid in the Premier League, because they're doing poorly So it would be counterproductive for them to play well now and not qualify for the next Champions League.

Yes, that's right. Liverpool has actually performed well in the Champions League. And the points they have earned are not that far behind the other teams. So Liverpool still has a chance and even has time to improve their performance. I think Liverpool's focus is divided between the Champions League and the Premier League. But it seems that Arne Slot will bring Liverpool's focus more to the Champions League as considering that they still have plenty of time to catch up in the Premier League. On the other hand Liverpool seems to be experiencing issues between Florian Wirtz and Mo Salah, where there is a media outlet believe that the harmony between the two players is not good (Source).  I think Arne Slot can learn from this criticism and even overcome this problem if this claim is true. So Liverpool will perform even better. But I personally feel that Wirtz himself is just experiencing adaptation problems.

[Hanadawa]

I agree with everything you said. This is a very unpredictable match and everything can happen. Chelsea up and downs are mainly due to the fact that, in my opinion, Chelsea are still a work in progress team, they changed many players in the last years, many of them are young, so it's normal they make mistakes. And about Barcelona, well, they play too offensive and completely forget the defensive part, they stay too high leaving many spaces for counterattacks.

Chelsea can almost always pull off a surprise in every major match outside the Premier League. Last season, no one expected Chelsea to win the CWC. They beat an undefeated PSG team, conceding only one goal, to reach the final. But the problem is, this isn't a final. While they still have a chance, Barcelona is still superior to Chelsea in terms of player quality and performance. However, Barcelona's high defensive line has always been a problem, and Chelsea's attack could be exposed, as Club Brugge did. I don't know who to side with in this match, as both teams have a 50/50 chance.

[Asiska02]

Chelsea is one unpredictable and weird team this season, they tend to win most of the tough matches and then suddenly lose points on relatively easy looking games. The end result of that match against Barcelona will mainly depend on the availability of the Barça stars, mostly the forwards. If Yamal and group all start, and they are little to beat Chelsea.

The other thing to look out is Barcelona's high line defense. Can Chelsea beat the offside trap like some teams have done it recently?

How Barcelona keep to that their defensive line is amazing but I don’t see them achieving it 100% on all teams, they’ll tend to falter to some of them and not achieve success in some of their defensive tactics. Chelsea is a very talented team also, but if they fall into the trap of the defensive mind game of Barcelona, it will be very hard for them to prevail in this match. Chelsea may not be looking like a strong team that could give Barcelona a tough time in this game since they’re in their stage of getting back into the game. Chelsea can also have a decision in this game if they play to their best, so they’ll definitely make this match more interesting to watch because of the competitiveness it’ll contain.

And it looks like you also have to see another interesting match between Man City vs Leverkusen.

The big impact on PSG with the injuries of their two potential forwards Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue. However, PSG's backup forwards also have many players who can alternate to replace injured players, there is Barcola and Khvicha, this Georgian player is a former Napoli player who usually plays on the wing. And against Hotspur, PSG will act as the host, so PSG is clearly highly favored to win this match. Besides having higher quality players compared to Tottenham Hotspur, PSG will also act as the host.

The English premier league is one of the the must competitive league in the world with 0 percent accurate prediction because everything is possible over there. Last season Arsenal had a beautiful start in all competition that they where recognized as trophy contenders but never means there consistent performance was way better than PSG that where crowned champions of Europe. Both teams where in an excellent form but that of PSG was an unbelievable one because they played without any atom of weakness and where determined to be crowned the champions for the first time.

This season, Arsenal is expected to perform differently until the end, avoiding being perceived as a team that started strong but eventually weakened, as was the case last season and the seasons before. As for PSG, I don't expect them to be the same again this season, either in terms of luck or strength, as several other teams must be wary of, and PSG has been considered a must-beat opponent in this season's Champions League competition by every team still in the Champions League.

In last summer's transfer market, they even bought a useless player, Liam Delap, who is of no use; perhaps Nicholas Jackson is better and more capable compared to Liam Delap.

If it were like some seasons back, I would see Chelsea as been at advantage because then , Stamford Bridge used to be seen as their strong hold such that they do not flinch while playing from home but now I do not think I trust that enough with them, they actually do have some uncertainty with their performance this period but I want to believe Chelsea is not going  to make it easy for them at all. It's do not underestimate Chelsea but so far, Barcelona has been really good with their form and productivity since this season.

Chelsea has always been a somewhat unpredictable team, of course this doesn't change the quality of the club which is lacking a bit this season, clearly this has been seen but everyone thought that they would do something different because of the Club World Cup.

Yes, hopefully Arsenal will not disappoint this season because many expect them to win the title, whether the Premier League or the Champions League, both titles are equally important, but I doubt Arsenal can win both at once this season even though they seem to be performing well in both competitions because if Arsenal is ambitious to win both, they will not be able to get both because the players might get tired quickly and that is what makes their performance decline towards the end of the season like previous seasons.

The match in the picture above is the star match of this week uefa champions league games, because it's not just about the name of the teams involved, but the rivalry among them. I would be gunning for Chelsea to secure all three points because the defense of Barcelona will let them down, and since Chelsea is a team that knows very well how to expose teams that plays with high lines, so am expecting Barcelona to struggle to contain the attacking threat that Chelsea team pose, that's why I believe that Chelsea might likely win this one here.
Then as for the psg vs spur, to me, their is only one winner here, and that winner is psg, and I expected them to do that convincingly this time around.

Arsenal still hasn't been able to win two trophies at once (UCL and EPL) even though they are currently performing well. Arsenal's performance in previous seasons was also like this, they always appeared fierce at the start of the season, the conditions were different towards the end of the season. Arsenal must target one trophy to keep them focused in the title race.
Arsenal have faced many obstacles so far, Arteta also needs to pay attention to the ability of his squad in the title race, several other teams have formed perfectly, while Arsenal still looks less convincing when reaching the semifinals.

[changaa]

However, it is already clear that Paris Saint-Germain will welcome Spurs to the French capital, even if it will be their fifth UCL match, so I expect it to be a tight match.

This confirms that PSG's players have improved in quality, but Spurs will not forget the defensive part in their upcoming UCL match in the French capital, so based on the reality of both teams, it seems that they can make every effort to win this competition.

In my opinion, they are inferior to PSG. i know is nice to dream of defeating the strongest team in Europe at the moment, but is not easy. We have to see things as they are and not dream so much.
Of course they have to try, but we must be aware that they are too strong.

[Daniel91]

That goes for you too, my friend. Just because they won the Champions League last year doesn't mean they'll win it this year. PSG has been playing poor football this year. Their bench isn't very strong. We've seen that many times this year.
They lost to a team like Bayern, who were down to 10 men.
Bayern are more effective this year, while City are more compact. For these reasons, PSG will advance to the next round but will never win the title. This isn't that year.

I think many of the analysts here are not been fair to PSG and have already ruled them out of winning just like you, it’s even harsh when you clearly said never even when we have not turn over the league or get to the knockout stages. For me PSG are just behind simply because they are actually having lots of injury crises, it is on this level that I actually do not want to rule them out because it is not about form or the team playing bad but because it is the lack of players. With this we can say that come next year or before isn’t it’s possible that this players might return to team before then, now can PSG yet again not been able to compete within this season again for the title? I think you’re going to say No

This the exact point I am at, I think it shouldn’t be hard but it is actually clear that the last person to do this is the Real Madrid team as such it will look like a difficult task but as long as their is possibility then it is not right to rule them out

If PSG is favored to win the Champions League, then clearly PSG is a favorite to win the Champions League. But if someone claims PSG will be the champion this season in the Champions League, that's not certain. There are still many strong teams, including Bayern Munich, who this season in the Champions League have already faced PSG at PSG's home, and Bayern Munich managed to win and defeat PSG on their own turf in front of their own public and fans. That indicates PSG is not a super team. When facing Bayern Munich, PSG's lineup was quite full with Dembele, Bercola, Kvaratskelia, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Hakimi, Mendez, Marquinhos. It can already be said that the lineup was a full team.

Honestly, the Champions League in recent years has been very predictable and even somewhat boring in that regard. We always have a few of the same top teams, with enough financial capital to buy the best players and thus significantly distance themselves in terms of squad quality from the competition, and to be at the top of their domestic leagues and the Champions League every season. Of course, we're talking about Real, Barcelona, PSG, Manchester City, Liverpool, Bayern, Chelsea, and the other teams don't have the strength to come close to them. It's already predictable that one of these clubs will win the Champions League, and the winner is usually decided by factors such as the team's current form, player injuries, luck in key matches, etc. Other clubs have long been just spectators in the show called the 'Champions League,' which has actually become a business and a 'money factory' for these clubs and UEFA, the European version of the NBA. Real sport and fair sporting competition have long been absent here.

[Dzwaafu11]

Yes, hopefully Arsenal will not disappoint this season because many expect them to win the title, whether the Premier League or the Champions League, both titles are equally important, but I doubt Arsenal can win both at once this season even though they seem to be performing well in both competitions because if Arsenal is ambitious to win both, they will not be able to get both because the players might get tired quickly and that is what makes their performance decline towards the end of the season like previous seasons.

Arsenal is doing great currently in both competitions, the Champions League and the Premier League. They are taking over the Premier League top spot right now, and this season we are expecting Arsenal to go home with one of this season’s trophies, or two if they can maintain their consistency in both competitions, even though it won’t be an easy one for them.

Although, as you said, you doubt if Arsenal is going to be able to win the two at once, it can happen, but as I said earlier, it will not be an easy task, as we already know how tough these two competitions are. However I think Arsenal's main focus now should be on the Premier League competition because that is where I feel like they have a high hope of winning the trophy. Compare it to the Champions League.

This season, Arsenal is expected to perform differently until the end, avoiding being perceived as a team that started strong but eventually weakened, as was the case last season and the seasons before. As for PSG, I don't expect them to be the same again this season, either in terms of luck or strength, as several other teams must be wary of, and PSG has been considered a must-beat opponent in this season's Champions League competition by every team still in the Champions League.

Arsenal haven’t shown any sign of weakness like that of last season; they continue doing great in every match, which shows that they’re going to try everything possible to see that they keep the consistency till the end of the season. Since they are able to perform this way, I think Arteta won’t make such mistakes as he always did in the past season. They will keep up their consistency and make the fans proud this season.
