UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Slow death]

I don't think Arsenal will struggle in the Bruges match. Even against Bayern Munich, they were dominant and dominant. They capped off their magnificent performance with three goals and a victory. Arsenal is truly focused on the title this year. They're motivated to win both the Champions League and the Premier League. Possession statistics aren't important; the result is what matters. Arsenal played very well.

an extraordinary match, Arsenal were able to beat Bayer Munich, who were previously unbeaten this season. I previously doubted Arsenal could win last night's match. It turned out that Arsenal was very good in attacking, it turned out that it was not an easy job to beat Bayer Munich 3-1. Bukayo Saka played very well even though he didn't score a goal. Vincent Kompany lost tactically to Mikel Arteta, excelling with a brilliant performance last night, it seems Arsenal will be favorites to win the UCL title this season.

It's true that Arsenal is a very well-organized and strong team, and they deservedly won yesterday. However, I believe Bayern lost because they didn't have Luis Diaz. If Bayern had been playing with Luis Diaz, they wouldn't have lost; at most, Arsenal would have managed a draw. In these Champions League games, at this stage, it's very difficult to believe in any team as a main contender for the title. Last season, PSG didn't start well at this stage but became champions, while Liverpool last season started very well at this stage, to the point of being at the top of the table and everyone thinking they would be champions, but they didn't even reach the final.

I wonder if anyone actually bet on PSV to win? I’m sure there was some fan out there who wasn’t afraid to take the risk, threw a hundred dollars on them, and won a thousand. )
But honestly, Liverpool’s defense is shocking — 7 goals conceded in just 2 matches, that’s a sad record and a pathetic sight.
I feel like if they have a couple more games like this, Arne Slot might as well start packing his bags. )

I think Liverpool’s struggles are real. It is not just because they didn't played well, but because they are not same team they used to be. I cannot imagine them losing 1–4 to PSV and 0–3 to Nottingham, especially since those games were played at home. What surprised people most was that they managed to win against Real Madrid.

Well, anything can happen and league season is still long. I hope they can make comeback because lot of Liverpool fans are really disappointed right now, especially those who thought team would become much stronger after they signed Alexander Isak.

Arsenal are in very good form. But if they want to win the title, they must continue their good performance. If they cannot perform well consistently, it will not be possible for Arsenal to win any title in the champions league or the Premier League.

This is always been Arsenal's major problem during the last 10 years: they are not consistent during the season. But I think Arteta is doing an incredible job and he's making, year after year, the team stronger and stronger, and especially he has more players he can rely on compared to the past. If they have a little luck they can actually go a long way this season.

It's probably different now than it was 10 seasons ago, right? I see Arsenal are more confident to be consistent this season even though there are some main players who are injured does not have any effect, remember beating Bayern Munich was amazing where we predicted it would be tight, but so far Bayern is helpless.

Not going to say Arsenal can win trophies this season because there is still a long way to go in the Premier League and Champion League so they need players to stay fit so they can be solid, that's only Arteta can do it.

I didn't agree with some persons that Arsenal would defeat Bayern Munich when we were analysing Arsenal vs Bayern Munich match a few days ago, but after Arsenal easily won against Bayern Munich yesterday night at Emirates Stadium, I am sure that Arsenal will win trophies this season, and the only thing that will make Arsenal not win trophies this season is if their key players are injured when the season is about to end.

It's true that Arsenal is a very well-organized and strong team, and they deservedly won yesterday. However, I believe Bayern lost because they didn't have Luis Diaz. If Bayern had been playing with Luis Diaz, they wouldn't have lost; at most, Arsenal would have managed a draw.

Last season, PSG didn't start well at this stage but became champions, while Liverpool last season started very well at this stage, to the point of being at the top of the table and everyone thinking they would be champions, but they didn't even reach the final.

Group stage games are only about qualifying for the next round, nothing more. We cannot declare the title winners by watching the group stage games.

However, I do not agree with you that Arsenal would not have won if Luis Diaz had been in the team yesterday! This is not logical or should not be an excuse. Luis Diaz is an important player for Bayern Munich and he is very attacking. So it goes without saying that Bayern Munich's attack would have been more intense if he had been in the team.

But it is wrong to be sure that he would have won the match or any result if he had been in the team. We can say that the game would have been more competitive and the interruptions would have been less. Arsenal are a good team, they won yesterday as a worthy team, not because of Luis Diaz's absence.

[AYOBA]

If at the end of this season arsenal is still unable to win either the champions league or the premier League, I will just conclude that they might never win these leagues again. I mean, look at how good they currently play na, it's glaring that this is the team that has the potential of winning trophy but like you've said and like we've all known, the main issue with arsenal is getting the result at s crucial moment that matters most. They can play real good at this point and the next thing they get to the knockout stage and one random team just messes them all up. Same can still happen in the premiership. With how they are currently performing, I'm hoping they get to prove skeptics wrong if not, it will be clear that there's a trophy cause on arsenal.

People keep saying that this is how Arsenal performance goes every season and at the end of season they end up achieving any trophy, but what i want them to understand is that with the way their performances be currently now is prove that their performances is far difference from the other season; that’s what is giving me hope that they will surely deliver a good result this season.

It has clearly shown that Arsenal have potential of winning trophy this season let forget what others said about Arsenal, is those that don’t want to see their progress always talk bad against them; but they should keep in mind that arsenal will be the gunners of this season and their ready to make that happen.

[Majestic-milf]

Arsenal seem to be holding down Bayern Munich at the Emirates stadium but it looked like after they scored, they left their defense open and now in the second half they'd need to work extra if they want to lead on the standings and try to beat that record of not having won Bayern Munich in their last five meetings. The game is showing so much promise and the Gunners are showing teeth, can they pull something off?

Yeah at first they were playing real good but after they scored, Bayern Munich took over the play and were so dominating and even got a goal. Both teams played well before the break and after the break, Arsenal started off again so well, Bayern were just holding on as Arsenal attacked regularly. Immediately after the changes by the coach, a breakthrough came for Arsenal as both sub players combined to score the second for them on the night. 2 -  Arsenal leads at the Emirates.

Funny but Bayern's dominance was very temporary and It even looked like they were scared of what the Gunners could do. I noticed that even the keep Manuel Neuer wasn't exempted from making mistakes and thanks to his error in the dying embers of the game, Arsenal was able to get their 3rd goal. Bayern Munich would have won the game if they played Arsenal like they did when they met Chelsea but I feel that at the end of the day there's clubs that can make you forget tactics.

Bayern’s defense couldn't curtail Arsenal's set pieces and it contributed to the goals they conceded.  Luis Diaz is an important player but Vincent Kompany would have to learn not to build a team around a single player. I think this is what has made this Arsenal team exceptional. All the players are up and doing and could score. It is just a single bad game for Bayern and I hope they will come back stronger.

If they have a little luck they can actually go a long way this season.

Even in the previous season Arsenal problem was the lack of replacement for injury players, but this season they have made correction for that. As Trossard got injured yesterday if it were like the previous season when they didn’t have a perfect replacement, it would have caused a big problem for them. But with the improvement of their squad now, Arteta brought Madueke immediately and his substitute was effective. Currently this season I considered Arsenal as the best team in the world because because with Bayern Munich form winning them 3-1 isn't a small job.

They couldn’t win the Premier League in the 2023 2024 season because they ran into that monster Man City run. But this year i feel like they’ll do it if they don’t mess up at the end. The squad is much deeper now.

Come on Arsenal have improved so much compared to last season, they have corrected the issues and continue to improve, managing to keep the standard of play high, I call them a strong and fearsome team, but not the best in the world.
Arteta has also been criticized, but he has continued with his strategy, which has proven effective to date.

It is impossible to give such a quick prediction about which team will win the champions league. Arsenal are in very good form. They have performed well against strong teams. Especially after the victory against munich in the last  match, we all praise Arsenal. But in the first round of the last season, we also saw Liverpool perform so well. So , although Arsenal are in good form at the moment, we do not know how the team will perform in the knockout round. But they did  very well in the first round. Being in the top 8 is  not a difficult task for Arsenal.

Do people really make such comments again? Oh c'mon. People with this mindset presently after watching Arsenal this season are pained I guess they still don’t believe the process, aside the improvement comparing the squad team recently to previous season you can clearly see the players are well better with a new and different structure. I remembered when the season started definitely Arsenal lost previous matches before now, then I expected opinions and doubt about Arsenal wining or not but, not this time when everything is clearly different, the team work amongst players shows they’re ready not minding top players absence.

[giorgione]

The match between Real Madrid vs Olympiacos was very exciting. Both teams fought almost equally. Mbappe, who we all criticize a lot, once again proved what he can do on the field. Real Madrid won this match thanks to his amazing goal.

Both teams performed like two truly top-level teams, this is something that many football fans will appreciate and will certainly be able to appreciate, it is clear that this thing must be spread as a thought to everyone, and so it must be, i am glad there are challenges of this level

Arsenal are very strong this season. There is no doubt about it. They have been able to form a strong enough squad. Arsenal have spent a lot of money to buy players. And the players have proven their capabilities.

Arsenal will not face the same problems as in the past seasons this season. In the past seasons, we have seen that when the players in the Arsenal squad faced injuries, their performance started to become irregular. But this season, Arsenal's bench team is strong. So even if a player faces injury, Arsenal has a worthy replacement. Players like Gyokeres, Magalhaes and Havertz were out of the squad due to injuries against Munich. Even then, Arsenal performed excellently and secured the victory.

[Baki202]

Arsenal played exceptionally well like someone who mean business. The level of support they are getting this season even from people who are not the fans demands that they break their jynx of no trophies. The motivation they got from defeating Tottenham and now Bayern Munic should be enough to embolden them against Chelsea who is their major threat for now. This is the much awaited season for the Gunners and they have to do everything not to mess it up. They can even win the champions league as well as the EPL.

Arsenal means business this season, and I hope they can continue like this because they can give people false hope. However, people are still observing them, so it's not as if they are fully trusted, and Arsenal is getting more motivation and winning. Tottenham also contributed, and now Bayern has tested Arsenal's sting, and the next people are Chelsea. Let's see if they will be able to manage the situation, and Arsenal have been trying of late because they are all over everywhere. How consistent it is will determine what will happen next.

And it seems Manchester is still not stable. I miss my guys topping so much, but the season is still ongoing. We hope for a better future, and that Arsenal facing Chelsea on Sunday is going to be a banger, and this is one of the most important games this week, it's just as all eyes are on that game, and we are going to know who is going to be stronger.

[Antotena]

Come on Arsenal have improved so much compared to last season, they have corrected the issues and continue to improve, managing to keep the standard of play high, I call them a strong and fearsome team, but not the best in the world.
Arteta has also been criticized, but he has continued with his strategy, which has proven effective to date.

When some people make some ridiculous comments about a team, I just move and be like I don't know what they are saying because I don't know what they want Arsenal to do at this time. Like 5 win of 5 played games, What exactly did they want again, may be they Want Arsenal to have 9/5 instead of 5/5 if that's what is going to define excellent in their book but to me, Arsenal is doing well. They are the only team that has not loss in the Champions League so far.

I know as they are going many people don't have any believe on their game, they are just following up because they see that the team is doing well and will gladly laugh by the time the team drop off from the table or if they get knocked out in the next stage. Arteta has realize some of his mistake and things are working out perfectly deosote the fact that some players are on injury, you have to give them that respect at least for now.

The fact that they could win bayern easily is absolutely impressive, I'm not sure if the return leg is going to be like this but I think bayern would try to step up because if they don't arsenal are going to kick them out. From the looks of it arsenal might end up winning two trophies this season, the Premier league and the ucl, because they are doing very well. Winning bayern Munich is a good sign

Yes, we can be proud of the results achieved by Arsenal in yesterday match against Bayern Munich, it is still too early to say that Arsenal will win a trophy this season. The journey is still very long, and anything can happen. Arsenal is known for having a strong foundation, with a young and talented squad, and a manager like Mikel Arteta who has built a solid team. However, the risks you mentioned could be problematic for Arsenal in the future, and the momentum could shift drastically or lead to defeat. We can see from the Manchester City vs. Leverkusen match that big teams don't always win this is football, and anything can happen unexpectedly.

This club from the Greek Professional Football League has really built up a great rivalry. Although they have not won a match in the Champions League this season, they have played some good competitive matches. Olympiacos is not a good team in the Champions League, but the fight they put up against Real Madrid was really interesting. Meanwhile, Real Madrid's weak defense has been reflected again. They have been able to overcome a strong attacking line in this journey. But maybe it will not be seen in the long run. Real Madrid is not a strong enough team yet.

After 3 matches without a single win, Real Madrid have now managed to get that victory, so this is a very meaningful win for them, because it can at least relieve the pressure and boost their confidence again. Mbappe played very impressively, and he showed that he is a striker who has a clinical finishing touch. But Real Madrid also has to be concerned about their back line, because they conceded very easily in this match. This player's injury could be a serious problem, and for that reason, Xabi Alonso must be able to overcome it immediately.
