UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[martinom]

A true champion can afford to play without one or 2 of his starting eleven, they should learn to play without certain players because there will be time when they won't be available and they need others to fill up that gap who are capable. I don't really buy that idea of them not performing well because Diaz was absent. Arsenal was just so incredibly good and they went for the win right from the kickoff of the match.

MM in fact they also have to understand how to manage the team, in fact if the team manages to win even without its most important pieces this thing will then go very well when everyone plays and that is exactly what Arsenal is doing and they are doing it very well too.

With this huge loss by Liverpool, their chance for top 8 in league phase has decreased significantly. Because they will need at least around 16 points. They have 9 now. 

The remaining matches for them:

• Inter (A)
• Marseille (A)
• Qarabag (H)

Honestly even the Qarabag match is a doubt with this performance. Inter can beat them. Marseille can also do so or at least get 1 point. You know they beat Newcastle previously.

As long as Slot stays even their playoff chance will be at risk.

Last season was historic for Arsenal and for everyone else, and this season Arsenal must improve from last season until the end. It's no secret that Arsenal often start strong and then start to slump towards the end. And that's exactly what Arsenal can't afford to repeat this season if they want to win the Champions League and other domestic trophies. I also want to see Arsenal develop their extraordinary abilities in two fiercely competitive leagues so that they can truly become a very dangerous team for any opponent.
Arsenal, having already defeated Bayern Munich yesterday, showed that they are already the leading contenders for the title in both competitions. Arsenal don't appear to be an unstoppable team this year. Of course, every team experiences tough times, and Arsenal could experience such a situation in the future, but for now, the outlook is that Arsenal can win both trophies. They are effective, dominant, and striking in both the Premier League and Champions League, and no team can escape them.

i am sure he has good cards to play, because he has the talent to do well, he has the strength.
In my opinion, he just needs to be able to think like a big team, no challenge is difficult if you are positive and think big in my opinion, he just lacks this little bit of emotional strength

Losing at home in a major competition like the Champions League is incredibly embarrassing for Liverpool, and starting with the first goal in the sixth minute from a penalty, the Liverpool players began to waver slightly, although one of their own managed to equalize shortly after. But in the second half, Liverpool were completely destroyed by the PSV players, making the scoreline truly unwatchable. And because of this defeat, I'm starting to doubt Liverpool's chances of progressing to the next round, even though they currently sit 13th in the standings.
Liverpool played really badly. They were a bit better and more effective in the first half, but we didn't see them on the pitch in the second. Van Dijk's penalty was incredibly amateurish. It's a shame that a player of his caliber could concede such a simple penalty and still concede a goal in the Champions League. It was a nightmare night for him. Liverpool should now seriously consider whether to extend his contract.

Yes, but Liverpool isn't doing well in the league eiher, and the Champions League is much more difficult than all the other options, including the championship. Clearly, this thing makes itself felt in the end. If a team isn't performing well, it will fail in any championship.

If we are to judge by the performance so far, it will not be completely out of place to say all of this about Liverpool, it will even be fine to express some fears in the chances of them been able to scale through with all of their challenges, and failing to get passed the league phase will be the first time Liverpool probably will be experiencing that,  but I want to believe they will, with champions league, the spirit is always different and from above, I see Inter as the only challenge they should be having.

I don't think we have to worry about Arsenal slumping this season, although they might have there occasional draw or loss, but it wouldn't be that continuous as previous season, one of the biggest reasons for Arsenals slump last season was the over reliance on starting players and when they went on injury it became hard for the team to adapt, a case study can be seen when Odegaard, Saka and even Gabriel Magalhaes if am not mistaken went on Injury, it was devastating because Arteta really relied on them, we even saw there defensive stat reduced drastically, but now i think things are getting better, Saka has a good replacement in Madueke, and some people don't even realize that Odegaard is currently on injury because Eze has been playing well, defensive wise, we have Hincapie and Mosquera as replacement.

So the squad depth is quite stable and ready for the obstacle ahead, with all things being right, i think Arsenal can be favourites to win the champions league

[giorgione]

Perhaps it's just a Slot's stubbornness, but rather that Slot simply can't handle the team at the moment.
It reminds me of the situation at Chelsea when Frank Lampard first time joined the team and led them to the Champions League and they finished the season very successfully, but then club bought some expensive new players and Lampard couldn't fit into his game plan and six months later Lampard was fired.

All the new players except Ekitike looks like transfer failures. Salah doesn't play in this season, he just takes up space on the field and I agree that Konate plays terribly in his position and other players could have been brought in to replace Konate long ago.
It seems that without Klopp's tough methods, Slott will not be able to cope with the current lineup of star players he has at his disposal.

Yes, Slot has to go and i think the club has already decided this. It's not possible to continue having this game when you have a club that is doing so badly. i just can't get over him and his choices. Obviously, this thing has to be put in check otherwise you risk doing even more damage.

Liverpool might be kicked out of the champions league without them knowing from the way they play, everything about the Reds this season has been about complaining from the start of this season till now. What seems to be the problem? The clubs you mentioned as their next opponent in the UCL won't be an easy one and they have to start playing well if not the manager Slot might be sacked before mid December because he has spent the highest in the transfer market but till now those players haven't made an account of themselves in any game and they seem to be terribly poor in their country side, Slot need to change the poor energy on the mind of the players if not it won't be an easy journey for the Reds.

Anybody will see Arsenal as the favorite for the UEFA Champions League title no doubt but the issue here is Arsenal's are not to be trusted like we've seen this kind of performance from them so many times I just hope it doesn't end that way this time around,

This is a different Arsenal team, a more matured team and complete one. They are composed on the ball, and each player knows exactly what is expected from them when they are in selection to play either as starters or substitutes. They will be their own problem if they cannot win anything this season because everything looks very likely for them with the squad depth they have, the coaching experience too and the player chemistry that has developed and become stronger over the years.

If coach Arteta is able to win trophies for them this season, he will become a legend in the club. He will be talked about for ages to come.

[Kaliandra]

I think Arsenal, PSG, and Bayern Munich at least have a chance to become finalists this season. These three clubs look more solid than Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester City. Seeing Arsenal at the top of the favorites list at a glance actually surprised me a bit, because it’s something rare. We realize that the odds can change as the season progresses, and the competitive dynamics so far have been truly difficult to predict. I agree with you, that Liverpool probably has no hope this season, they need a miracle to turn things around and be consistent.

Looking at the standings and the strength of Arsenal, PSG, and Bayern at the moment, it's not wrong to make such a prediction because they are strong teams. But of course, we don't know what will happen in the future because Barcelona and Real Madrid could improve their performance, which would make it difficult for Arsenal, PSG, and Bayern to win the trophy. Real Madrid's performance can sometimes be good when they reach the last 16.  As for Liverpool, it seems unlikely they will win the title based on their current form, but as time goes on, we never know. Liverpool actually has good players, so they could perform better in upcoming matches. In fact, wouldn't rule out the possibility of Liverpool winning the Champions League this season. In my opinion, if Liverpool advances to the round of 16, their performance could improve significantly.

[Zlantann]

As long as Slot stays even their playoff chance will be at risk.

For now there are no indication that Slot will be sacked anytime soon.

Liverpool is in a bad situation right now that I might not bet on them winning a second division club. How can we explain what happened to a club that won almost all its games in last season's UCL group stage? If the English side was in good form, I would have comfortably bet that they would defeat at least Marseille and Qarabag and get a draw playing Inter Milan.

Fortunately, they still have the chance to qualify for the next round after winning three of the five games they have played. The Reds would have to focus on securing at least a playoff slot because, from their current performance currently securing the top eight spot will be a difficult task

[changaa]

Even though Inter Milan is not in good form, they have performed much better in the Champions League platform. Last season, Inter Milan qualified for the final. But they were defeated badly in the final. This season, Inter Milan is not in a good rhythm either. Their performance is irregular. But even then, I think this team will be able to qualify for at least the quarter-finals. It is not possible to predict which team will win the Champions League title so quickly. But PSG, Arsenal, Munich, Madrid and Chelsea are also in good form now. Inter Milan is in fourth place in the table with 4 wins out of 5 matches.

Yes, Inter still seems to have a grudge against the Champions League after the defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, instead of getting demoralized they were able to get back up and are now doing very well, so credit to them for having been able to hold their own after the tough final they played.

Liverpool is not inform this season and yes they will be kicked out of the champions League they are not performing very well the match they lost is something they should not have done or even if they lost the match the goal margin was too much that's clearly shows that they are not inform this season and not even ready to compete for the champions League, the problem that Liverpool has now is their coach he's not doing the right thing he should start using his players very well if he cannot perform very well towards the ending of the season the only thing Liverpool should do is to sack him, he did very well last season but this season his not performing as expected so I think he should be sacked or they can as well give him more time the choice is there's.

PSG managed to win 5-3 against Tottenham at home. Tottenham scored the first goal, but PSG managed to equalise before the end of the first half. Tottenham started the second half quickly, but PSG scored goals against their opponents. By winning this match, PSG secured their fourth victory in the Champions League.
Atletico Madrid hosted unbeaten Inter at home. Atletico Madrid managed to defeat Inter with a last-minute goal, handing Inter their first defeat in the Champions League. Both teams played well, but we can say that Atletico Madrid made good use of their home advantage.

I wasn't expecting Tottenham to win against PSG. When the first scored in stage first half I knew it was a big setup for them and they ended up conceding two goals before the end of the first half. Inter fought well but Atletico was desperate for a win even till the dieing minutes. Inter pressure dropped towards the 90+ minutes and ended up losing to Atletico.

The match between Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan was truly exciting. The match continued until the very last minute, and it was uncertain who would win. Atletico Madrid scored a goal in the final minutes to secure the three points. The Spanish team had played against a tough opponent this week and finished undefeated. Their chances of finishing among the top eight teams have increased. They will play their next matches against slightly weaker opponents.

We saw match of UEFA Champions League and we watched all match of Atlético de Madrid football team and that team played brilliant in this match because that team did 2 goals in this match.  Alvarez was a person who was a reason of good result in this match for his team because that team did brilliant effort in this match and Giménez was a second person who did goal at 93 minutes of the match. That team was fully prepared to win this match and that team was successful to win this match. Opponent team performance was not bad because they gave hundred percent effort to win this match but they could not win this match. Goals matters a lot to win the match and that was  the reason we saw 3 goals in this match and 2 by Atlético de Madrid football team and 1 by Inter Milan team.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

As an Arsenal fan in as much as we have huge potentials, there are still areas we need to level up for us to remain competitive and consistent, we need to stay strong when there is pressure from any high competitors, we need to play in a champion Mentality, also we shouldn't feel less of ourselve especially when we are playing with touch club.

Arsenal seemed promising in the group stage, consistently performing well, even undefeated. But can that performance carry them all the way to the final? Considering the numerous challenges they face after qualifying from the group stage, the Champions League is always tough because teams competing in this competition are often associated with experience and mentality. However, after PSG's triumph last season, perhaps that's no longer a major concern. Perhaps this is Arsenal's turn if they can consistently improve on their weaknesses thus creating an opportunity for Arsenal to emerge as champions.

[Baki202]

I look at the overall strength of the team they've shown so far, and I'm skeptical about Inter Milan this season. I don't mean to underestimate them, but the quality they've shown is as good as any of the other top teams competing in this season's Champions League.

I don't even consider Inter Milan in this Champions League because you don't see what is happening currently in the league. A lot of clubs are getting stronger. Look at Arsenal and Bayern. I don't think even PSG has a say in the league this season, because even last season, to me, they were just lucky to have won, and I don't see PSG winning, getting the luck they got last season winning the Champions League. A lot of things are now different, and the league is even more competive this time around.

Some of the teams mentioned are favored because they have great strength, but in football, anything can happen in the future; a team could slump or improve.
And now I'm focused on Arsenal. After beating Bayern Munich, I think Arsenal are favorites to win the title, as that's a major testament to their performance.

Anything can happen, but at the same time, we know the clubs that can actually win, so we cannot really conclude for now, but there are clubs that are doing so well that they might win. It is not certain yet, but they show signs of a chance to win. Even as Arsenal was able to defeat Bayern, we should still not conclude now, just because Arsenal is doing well. And time will tell if they will be able to continue this for long, and everyone is judging based on their performance, but it all depends on Arsenal.

[Oluwa-btc]

Arsenal can now aspire to much more and can even win the Champions Leage and i am not going too far.
It's clear that it's very early to say who will actually win the cup but it must be said that Arsenal can do very well and can really win against anyone

Lmfao! Don't in the slightest way let the win Arsenal had against Bayern Munich gas you up. They're good no doubts but the level of seriousness from the group stages and that of the knock out stages are a lot different. Arsenal have dominated and remains at the top bit let's see them in action during the knock out. I'm still stubborn on PSG winning and defending the Champions League competition,  they seem like the winners again to me already.

Perhaps this is Arsenal's turn if they can consistently improve on their weaknesses thus creating an opportunity for Arsenal to emerge as champions.

Arsenal must divide their focus between the Premier League and the domestic championship, which also has a significant chance of winning. It's certainly not easy for any team to focus on the same goals, especially since the competition in the Champions League is so fierce. The Gunners' performances have been promising so far, but I doubt they can have a smooth run in the Champions League.

English teams don't have enough time compared to teams in other leagues. The Premier League is incredibly competitive, requires a lot of energy, and also has a greater presence of local talent.

[Fara Chan]

Yes, Inter still seems to have a grudge against the Champions League after the defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, instead of getting demoralized they were able to get back up and are now doing very well, so credit to them for having been able to hold their own after the tough final they played.

This isn't about holding a grudge against the Champions League, but rather about wanting to improve this season. Unfortunately, Inter Milan couldn't win at Atletico Madrid's home ground, even though they're far better than Atletico Madrid in the current standings. However, if Inter Milan wants to improve in this season's Champions League, they must win more matches in the round of 16, as that's a very sacred round, and every team must work hard to win against any opponent.

[banana33]

They need to work more on teamwork, they have a good team and they don't know how to exploit it.
They certainly played really badly, they lost disastrously, we can't deny that in front of 4 goals conceded.
But to say that they are not capable is wrong in my opinion.

In short, Liverpool are playing terribly and it is no coincidence that an ultimatum has been presented to the manager: if he doesn't win two games, he'll be fired.

So I'd say he's quite incompetent, it's not a question of team play, he just lacks an organic vision of the game.
