UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Smartvirus]

Isak was the perfect example of a player who gets hyped up everywhere. The media hypems him up, the fans hype him up and at some point everyone starts believing he is worth at least €200 million... I agree so much with it, he never was worth that money. It worked fine for him when he played for Newcastle, but I was sure he wouldn't be able to score the same amount of goals once he goes to Liverpool or another higher quality team. Now there it is and Newcastle can enjoy the money.

Isak wasn’t hyped, he just failed to perform, that’s my take on him. He was clearly excellent in Newcastle United and the circumstances surrounding his transfer, not having to focus on football and preparing the next season, not training with the team, all that plays with your head and career too. That’s the place where Isak is and he comes from the bench more often.

His transfer fee and wages though, it’s mouth watering but, thats up with Liverpool.

Barcelona performance still looks unstable when facing big teams, they were able to score 8 goals in two La Liga matches against Celta Vigo and Athletic Club, but when they were in the Champions League, their performance was not as expected. In the previous match when they also almost lost against Club Brugge, fortunately Tzolis own goal saved them from defeat. Although the defeat to Chelsea does not really affect Barcelona's chances of qualifying for the round of 16, I also doubt they can reach the quarter-finals or semifinals.

I also think Barcelona will struggle to advance further in the Champions League, as their heavy defeat at home to Chelsea has shown that Barcelona isn't truly strong when it comes to Champions League competition. Barcelona's performance in La Liga, however, is slightly different because the teams they face in La Liga are less strong, making Barcelona's performance appear more impressive, even though there are still shortcomings and still need to be improved in several areas, especially their own defense.
The recent defeat just disappointed many fans, but honestly, if we look at the match in terms of technical perspective, then we can see some mistakes than compelled Barcelona for defeat. In this match we can clearly see it that Barcelona were using a high level with open depth and probably due this Chelsea try a short passes in the 30 yard box and they just banged the opponent with 3 goals. Hansi Flick really need to work on it otherwise other teams can also do the same anti move.....

It is only one match and honestly this can't determine the team inner potential. Hansi Flick is smart coach and probably he will try something good to regain their potential and start the tendency again.

In my opinion, they also made some bad transfers for which they spent far too much money. Isak, for example, was never worth that much, nor was Ekitike. If instead of the two of them they had simply paid Napoli €75 million for Osimhen, they would have got a better striker than both of them for much less money.

Of course, Klopp's departure also plays a role, but that's not the only reason. Other important players are also missing, and some players are no longer as good as they once were, such as Salah.

But anyone who believed that Arne Slot could replace Klopp 1:1 was too naive anyway. It was clear to me from the start that he would never be able to reach Klopp's level.

Arne Slot is fortunate because Jurgen Klopp left behind an ideal squad, and without making many changes, Slot managed to deliver the Premier League trophy for Liverpool in his first season. However, now that he has rebuilt the squad according to his own ideal version, Slot is struggling to create balance within the team, where the new signings are having difficulty adapting and they all seem confused.

Liverpool management appears to have failed to prepare a smoother transition process, as they made too many changes in a single transfer window. The departures of Luis Diaz, Nunez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Jarell Quansah left a huge gap, with their roles being difficult to replace with the new signings. Actualy, Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Ekitike, Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez are good signings, but they all need time to gel with the rest of the squad. Meanwhile, I will agree that Arne Slot is still far from Jurgen Klopp level.

The match up every team faces in their league is quite different from what they go up against in the uefa champions league, Barcelona can win matches in their league easily but when they are faced with teams from other leagues they might not really be able to win. Chelsea won with a good number of goals and it is going to take barca a lot to beat Chelsea in their return leg, the chances of them winning is quite low

That was the only question I was having in me for a while now; Arne slot first season was a victorious one, and if I can tell according to what you have said, the squad system was definitely managed by Klopp, and in his first season, he didn't purchase any player, and he succeeded. So what actually lead to the full replacement of most of the players that would have continued the trophy wining team, he lost the shape of the team, as he has not been able to manage the team very well.
Looking at the signings of Liverpool was not bad, but it was made on the wrong time, of which it was not supposed to be so, and also to the amount of players they lost as also dealt with the team.

Chelsea are gradually getting back on their form and this makes this match a very tensed one for both teams as they look to make the best of the games in order to get a satisfactory result. Barcelona could make it hard for Chelsea since they have most of their players back into the game, but Chelsea is also a team to fear at this point because they can do the undo and make this match tougher for Barcelona to win. A lot of speculations about this match is not decisive as both teams stands a chance for a win and also could end in a draw.

That's very true, but Chelsea is a good team, well-integrated, and the players understand each other. They're the Club World Cup champions, which is no small feat They could easily beat Barcelona, ​​but things are different now I'd like to see the Chelsea side from the Club World Cup when they face Barcelona.

Barcelona would have home advantage in the next match but i don't think that would be enough to beat Chelsea, they have one the best defense right now and if they play defense against Barcelona the game might end as a draw. I think it is already clear that Chelsea are going to win again...Barcelona are currently no match for chelsea and the team isn't going to ready enough to win the title this season

I love what Arsenal did to Bayern Munich yesterday, many people predicted for the favour of Bayern Munich to defeat Arsenal base on what Bayern Munich has done to defeated Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain in this UEFA champion League tournament, the result Arsenal brought out yesterday surprised many people because Bayern Munich struggle to score a single goal from the match because Arsenal is stronger than them in this season, when Arsenal scored the first goal I was not happy but when they scored the second goal I knew that it will be difficult for Bayern Munich to equalize the goals, and the process of trying to make their goal two, Arsenal gain another opportunity to scored the third goal to defeated Bayern Munich 3-1.

Arsenal have maintained their consistent performance but I expected a better match from Bayern Munich. Before the match started, I thought that if either team wins, the margin of victory will not be much but I was proven wrong. Both teams kept the ball in their favor on the field almost equally but Arsenal got short on target and they succeeded on the other hand Bayern Munich could not finish well and their defense was also weak which is why Bayern Munich lost to Arsenal by a big margin of 3-1 in this important match of the Champions League.

Meanwhile, I will agree that Arne Slot is still far from Jurgen Klopp level.

First season when appointing as Liverpool head coach, Arne Slot performed quite well under teams leaving by Jurgen Klopp without any huge rotation and not sign any new players. But has huge problem after leaving several players and Arne Slot make many rotation with several position and right now Liverpool loss high confidence after playing poorly in Champion League and Premier League matches. Indeed last season Liverpool kicked out early at knock out round but win all 7 phase league round matches and loss 1x match only, difference with this season performance Liverpool have loss 2 of 5 matches and has 3 matches left will win all or not?
Several new signing Florian Wirtz, Isax, Frimponng, Kerkez and Ekitike still not performed well as Liverpool fans expected regarding how much transfer fees spent out for them.

Barcelona have a clean route to qualification. Their next three matches are with teams they can beat. They will be playing Eintracht Frankfurt, Slavia Praha   and FC København, none of these teams will be able to stop Barcelona from winning. When Barcelona plays with their full squad, I do have confidence in them because they don't pity any team that they are better than. Hopefully they will play with their complete team in those champions league matches. Barcelona will surely qualify for the next round, I'm not worried for them.

Barcelona's next three Champions League matches are against weak teams, and Barcelona are supposed to take all three points in those matches, but Barcelona results in their last two Champions League matches show that Barcelona can surprisingly drop points in their next three Champions League matches. But if Barcelona can take nine points in their next three Champions League matches, they will book a spot in the Champions League knockout phase.

There are no weak teams in the Champions League. But Barca's remaining 3 matches will be against teams with little left to play for. Therefore, it's highly likely that Barca will take 9 points from these matches if they focus.

Eintracht Frankfurt started well but faltered in subsequent matches. They don't have as strong a squad as last season. If Barca win this match, the next matches against Slavia Prague and FC Copenhagen will likely see those teams with no chance of finishing in the top 24. Thus, Barca can comfortably win those matches as well. They could finish the group stage with 16 points. This means their chances of finishing in the top 8 are very high. They finished second last season and reaped the benefits. This season will be no different.

I see Bayern Munich showing their best performance, but Arsenal were able to stifle Bayern Munich's play with their effective performance, which frustrated the Bayern Munich players. I think the result of this match clearly shows Arsenal are better this season, and I think that should be acknowledged.

Arsenal's performance this season has been very impressive, In all competitions since the start of the season, they have shown strength and consistency in their performance.
So, I think that's why Arsenal's chances of winning the title this season are increasing, or at least advancing further in the fierce title race.

Liverpool is in a very poor run of form they have not experienced in a very long time. I don't know how Liverpool got to find themselves in this present situation because Liverpool were one of the highest spenders in the whole of Europe, so spending such a huge amount on the transfer market and only to struggle in the season is something that calls for concerns. Every game that Liverpool plays their problems becomes more clearer. Arne Slot should find a way to get his team back to winning ways if not am afraid of his job right now.

Unfortunately, after parting ways with Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool took a different path and is now paying the consequences!
The team is still very strong, but it has one problem! Their manager does not know how to lead the team to perfection. Arne Slot must immediately reverse course or his path with Liverpool will soon diverge.

If Liverpool team continues in their current position like this, they will never be able to go to a good position this season, Jurgen Klopp should have added more experienced players after changing this player. But the coach of Liverpool team is inattentive to his team, due to which he cannot find the weak points in the team's squad. But I will say that he is a failed coach among the coaches, Liverpool team has gone to the bottom of the points table due to their poor performance.

Jurgen Klopp hasn't been Liverpool's manager for over a year now, you're mistaken about Arne Slot, who is Liverpool's current manager! And this year's Liverpool team is truly a disaster.
Not only in the Premier League but also in the Champions League, with their latest match badly lost against PSV.

Isak was the perfect example of a player who gets hyped up everywhere. The media hypems him up, the fans hype him up and at some point everyone starts believing he is worth at least €200 million... I agree so much with it, he never was worth that money. It worked fine for him when he played for Newcastle, but I was sure he wouldn't be able to score the same amount of goals once he goes to Liverpool or another higher quality team. Now there it is and Newcastle can enjoy the money.

Isak wasn’t hyped, he just failed to perform, that’s my take on him. He was clearly excellent in Newcastle United and the circumstances surrounding his transfer, not having to focus on football and preparing the next season, not training with the team, all that plays with your head and career too. That’s the place where Isak is and he comes from the bench more often.

His transfer fee and wages though, it’s mouth watering but, thats up with Liverpool.

Without Alexander Isak, Newcastle's performance remains good, and last night they were able to thrash Everton with a decisive 4-1 score. Meanwhile, a week earlier, Everton managed to defeat Manchester United, who were playing at Old Trafford. Everton even managed to beat Manchester United while playing with only 10 players after one of their players received a red card.
On the other hand, Alexander Isak's performance at Liverpool has drastically declined, as seen from the lack of goal contributions or assists. As a striker, contributions to the team are seen from goals and assists. Perhaps Alexander Isak will regret moving to Liverpool because it caused his performance to drop significantly. The effect on the Swedish team is also very poor in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, with Sweden ending up at the bottom of their group and failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

The match up every team faces in their league is quite different from what they go up against in the uefa champions league, Barcelona can win matches in their league easily but when they are faced with teams from other leagues they might not really be able to win. Chelsea won with a good number of goals and it is going to take barca a lot to beat Chelsea in their return leg, the chances of them winning is quite low

The Champions League is certainly very different from other domestic leagues, as it gathers all the best teams to compete in order to become the best. Therefore, I'm not surprised that Barcelona, ​​who have always dominated La Liga, still struggle against teams from other leagues when competing in the Champions League. As I've said, the quality of teams in the Champions League is truly remarkable, even if the team has less than impressive results in their domestic league. That's why Barcelona lost so easily to a team like Chelsea.

While Chelsea aren't the number one team in the Premier League, they still played dominantly against Barcelona. However, I don't think we should underestimate Barcelona at this point, as they are a formidable team. It's just that Barcelona is currently lacking in organization and their defense is quite weak. So, that's why Barcelona is currently finding it quite easy to concede goals in matches. And now, Barcelona must work even harder to advance to the next round of the Champions League. Because currently their position is in a less than good zone.

[Just Say]

Barcelona played with ten men which led to their defeat. Assuming, there was no red card in that match we might have seen a different outcome entirely. However, Barcelona looks strong in Laliga and not in UCL because there are a lot of strong clubs all over Europe present in the competition. I believe that they will qualify to the round of 16.

We shouldn't make such excuses. Barcelona were 1-0 down to Chelsea before the red card. They couldn't even get the ball in front of Chelsea's goal in the first half. So don't try to save Barcelona with the red card. Chelsea are devastating when they find momentum from the start of the match, as we saw in the FIFA Club World Cup final against PSG. If Barcelona hadn't received the red card, they could have tried to make a comeback in the second half, but it wouldn't have worked. Forget the past, I don't doubt Barcelona's qualification for the round of 16. They will probably be able to win all their next matches. Because now they will have to fight against relatively weaker teams.

The Blaugrana were not at their best, but you should note that the Catalans were 1-0 down to Chelsea before the red card, but their goal was an own goal and it was scored by the French player Kounde. The Blues have become more devastating in this round of the UEFA Champions League as they find momentum from the start of the match, i enjoyed the most exciting moment when Estevao scored in the 55th minute at the Blues' home ground, however, the Spanish giants did not show the Agility and sharpness of the attack on this day, as a result of which we witnessed Hansi Flick's team not being able to create any goalscoring chances against the English Blues in this epic match of the UCL. Yet you are underestimating the depth and skill of this team, they showed great skill against Alves yesterday, and they are the new leaders in the La Liga after beating Alaves by a 3-1 margin yesterday.

Barcelona performance against Chelsea was indeed very poor, far from what many expected, even though they fielded their full squad, However the crushing defeat to Chelsea proves that Hansi Flick hasn't completely resolved the problems within Barcelona's current squad.
However, I wouldn't exaggerate Barcelona's poor performance, I believe they still have a chance to bounce back, Perhaps the most logical reason is that some of their key players who have just recovered from injuries haven't yet shown their best form, Barcelona ​​of course remains a force to be reckoned with in the title race.

They finished second last season and reaped the benefits. This season will be no different.

There are some certain teams that are seen as big teams in the Champions League and there are some certain teams that are seen as small teams in the Champions League. I see those small teams as weak teams because they always lose their matches in the Champions League. After Eintracht Frankfurt thrashed Galatasaray 5-1 in their first Champions League matches this season, I thought they would do well in the Champions League, but with the way Eintracht Frankfurt performed in their Champions League matches after they defeated Galatasaray, I agree that Eintracht Frankfurt doesn't have a strong squad to compete in the Champions League.

[G_Besar]

Barcelona would have home advantage in the next match but i don't think that would be enough to beat Chelsea, they have one the best defense right now and if they play defense against Barcelona the game might end as a draw. I think it is already clear that Chelsea are going to win again...Barcelona are currently no match for chelsea and the team isn't going to ready enough to win the title this season

The Champions League title is indeed very difficult to win because the competition is very fierce and requires more effort from each team. I also don't think Barcelona will win much at home when they host Chelsea, but Barcelona will certainly try not to lose as badly as they did at Chelsea last week. However, Barcelona's next home match isn't against Chelsea, but against Frankfurt from the Bundesliga. I'm more confident that Frankfurt will lose at Barcelona's home, although it might not be as crushing as Barcelona's defeat at Chelsea.

Barcelona have not win after Olympiacos, but with Frankfurt is a good plus for Barcelona because Yamal will make sure of that besides the Ballon d'Or is an award he wouldn't wait to have but is going to be hard because the champions League is were the possibility of it lized. After Frankfurt the next is there away to Slavia Prague from that match they come back for FC Copenhagen, Barcelona is going to have a strict wining because they are wining this three, Frankfurt will aim for draw since they cannot win Barcelona but they will loss when they did not expect it.
