UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Emitdama]

The draw with Girona was very disappointing when you consider their position in La Liga. But there are still many games for Xabi Alonso to put his house in order. The January window is also important for Real to fill in some positions that are experiencing some lapses.

Real Madrid is currently much stronger than all the other teams in La Liga and it seems to me that this is clear. At the moment, even though Barcelona are first in the league, i canot say that they are the strongest and that they will surely win the championship, they have only just begun.

No doubt Real Madrid is one of the competitive team in soccer but their internal issues bringing serious trouble for them in last five games they are having 3 draws 1 win and 1 lost this brings them 2nd into La Liga and their performance in Champions League is also facing problems.

Tonight game against Athletic Bilbao is going to be important for them because this will give them confidence for having their best game against Manchester City in Champions League on 11th December their attack is doing good, but suddenly they are facing problems in defense conceded 7 goals in 5 games surely not good performance.

This match will certainly have the feel of a final, as these are two great teams.
I can't yet decide which team to support, although I prefer Real Madrid. Xabi Alonso side have been quite inconsistent in their domestic league in recent weeks. Regardless, their match is certainly one we should all look forward to next week.

Honestly I don't get the feeling of a finale in this game.    In general I can't say either Manchester City or Real Madrid are amazing lately. I mean considering their performance in all competitions...

Real Madrid got many meaningless draws. Manchester City win in the PL but concede too many goals from smaller clubs. In the CL these 2 clubs might look more decent. But for now I doubt even one of them to reach semi finals or finale this season.

On the other hand this game between them in a week could still be exciting to watch.

[tbterryboy]

In coming 6th round few interesting matches are going to be played between top teams these matches will bring good changes in league table Real Madrid hosting Manchester City at Bernabéu after having 3 draws in La Liga and Lost against Liverpool this is important game for them.

Bayern Munich is one of favourite for title going to host Sporting CP as visitors are looking for staying into top 8, but it's going to be not easy game for them Atlanta hosting Chelsea both are same level teams, but Chelsea have good advantage in attack this could be good for them because they are looking for staying into top 8 and this game is going to be crucial for them. Other big teams are going to have good games these will keep them on good level, and they could be able to have their spots into top 8 easily.

Arsenal is indeed the favorite after defeating Bayern Munich. And we know that Bayern Munich is a team that also defeated PSG. So Arsenal looks very superior. Although in previous seasons, sometimes the team that was favored from the start ended up failing.

PSG might be able to defeat Real Madrid if Real Madrid is in poor form. However, there are times when Real Madrid improves and even becomes a very strong team. So people start favoring them again. Real Madrid is still inconsistent, but they can still overwhelm any team if they suddenly return to their best form. However, given their current condition, well, PSG might even be able to defeat them.

Arsenal continues to be the favorite team this year in many competitions and whoever challenges them is always afraid, I can't understand why these people can't understand that Arsenal is very strong and can do much more than what they are doing now, but they are limiting themselves and only bring out their skills when they need them.

Arsenal surprised me because they've been nothing but fantastic this season. Been lonely at the top of the English Premier League. This is evidence we want from Mikel Arteta this season. He's always been leaning and helping the club but his presence was not good enough. This is the time for Gunners to show the world the kind of stuff they're made up with. Winning games easily and barely concede goals against oppositions. With the management of Mikel Arteta, I believe Arsenal are going fat this season.

[Adiljutt156]

If Liverpool maintain a win streak in the PL by defeating Sunderland and Leeds also then I would give them more chance in the CL. But my gut tells me that Inter will still defeat them at Giuseppe Meazza.  

After that one their last 2 CL league phase matches are against Marseille and Qarabag. At least winning one of them should be enough to secure top 24 at least, right? I would expect even 6 points from those matches but Liverpool aren't having a normal season.

In their last match in the English league, Liverpool has returned to the winning track. They managed to defeat the host West Ham United with a score of 2-0 through goals scored by Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo. For Liverpool fans, Alexander Isak showed his best performance like when he was still playing for Newcastle United. Actually, Alexander Isak's performance should be even better because Liverpool's team, both the forwards and midfield players, are better and stronger than Newcastle United. As long as Moh Salah plays as a team player and not individually wanting to show a one-man show, I think slowly but surely Liverpool will return to their best performance like last season.

Liverpool football team played very well against West Ham United football team as they did back to back 2 goals in this match and opponent team was very weak to do goals in this match. A. Isak was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 60 minutes of the match and he gave good mindset to the players of the team and after that they played very excellent in this match . C. Gakpo was a person who did second goal of the match and he did this goal at 92 minutes of the match and he did this goal at the end of the match and opponent team stats was also very weak and they came in pressure and lose the game at the end but they should fight in this match to win this match.

Arsenal are doing all there best to achieve a trophy this season almost many years now since Arteta comes he as be struggling to win a title but this season is different and they are in there best prime time this time around to win trophies topping the league and the Champions League table that as show that Arteta is doing good let see if they will the league or probably the Champions League this time around. This season as not get to the middle and anything can possible because even when Arsenal are doing well this season they always perform weak when the season is getting to and ends and make the other clubs top the league and get the chance of wining the league title, let see if they will be a different this season, and challenge all the big clubs in the league and make the chance to win the title.

[Lida93]

This season might be very important for Arteta to give his best for Arsenal, both in the Champions League and the Premier League. Arsenal's performance has still been impressive, hopefully, they can maintain it. Last season, Arsenal only lost once in the group stage. Maybe they can win all 8 matches perfectly this season.

Definitely, it's an all important season for Arsenal because their hope of winning a significant trophy since many year now is more glaring in this season than any they have had with their performance recently. I hope Arteta is able to manage the pressure from the UCL and EPL simultaneously because it's actually going to require a huge deal of energy and form to winning both league's trophies in one season. But If Arsenal could prioritise one and put much energy on it, the aim would seem more realistic to chasing two at once.

Real Madrid-Manchester City will be a beautiful match that i can't wait to see too, honestly these are the matches i look forward to all year, they are wonderful.
obviously the level is as high as it used to be and these challenges are always incredible, admiring these challenges is incredible

This match will certainly have the feel of a final, as these are two great teams.
I can't yet decide which team to support, although I prefer Real Madrid. Xabi Alonso side have been quite inconsistent in their domestic league in recent weeks. Regardless, their match is certainly one we should all look forward to next week.

Yes, but one thing about this big team is that they always scores a lot of goals and even though the team that you would be seeing as the winner will be the loser. Example is Arsenal against Bayern Munich because I didn't believe that Arsenal would win Bayern Munich in the game even though with a huge goal margin. Honestly, that's exactly what what this game would look like because both teams are quite similar in the champions league this season, although Real Madrid are more preferable than Manchester city but even as that I think they might likely end in draw.

[Fiatless]

Real Madrid is currently much stronger than all the other teams in La Liga and it seems to me that this is clear. At the moment, even though Barcelona are first in the league, i canot say that they are the strongest and that they will surely win the championship, they have only just begun.

What are the criteria that you used to measure the strength of Real Madrid and Barcelona? The most important benchmark to measure a club's capacity is not the players they have but the points they have gathered. You cannot dispute anyone who said Barca is the strongest side because they are topping the League table. If Real Madrid returns to the top of the table, they would be called the strongest side.

Real Madrid and Manchester city match is going to be a tough one because the both club can’t be underrated to each other, they can surprise us. Real Madrid will be playing at home in that match this gives them more chance to win this match, because Manchester city is not in their best performance right now.

while Real Madrid look little bit better than them this season in the season champions league competition even from the table we can see that, so in this match prediction kind of difficult, but Madrid is the favorite if I’m to choose who will win the match.

[jaberwock]

indeed Arsenal are the favourites but that's because it's really like that and everyone is realising that these guys deserve to be where they are now, right now they're really good and they deserve everything they're getting back, i am really happy with the results they're getting

The amount of draws is still questionable but yeah they are definitely a great team. Arsenal is a weird team in that regard, because even though they look great they still are doubtful and questionable, because they had many years where they started good (albeit not this good) and then started to be bad. So the question everyone has in their minds, even arsenal fans, is that if they will continue to be like this or if they are going to lose eventually and be worse.

Because they had years where they were leaders too, and yet they started to lose and be bad, so will they be this good or will they end up being not so good, that is the most important question. We are going to see them be a lot different and we can see them be either good or bad.

This favourite they have been in most of the competitions is very deserving, they have actually earned it with their performance and they obviously are in the form which is clear that that they are not going any weak any soon and so they will mostly get one of the title this season. I hope they win one of the major trophies with this performances they are putting up in these games.

It's true that the points a team has been able to gather in a season tells you the strength and how good the team is but some times that's not true. A team may be good but due to lack of form and even injury they may be struggling badly. But that doesn't mean that they are not a strong team. Madrid is not topping the league currently now doesn't mean that they are not good sometimes teams no matter how good they are will drop points in football. No team starts the league on a high and ends it on the high too. It's only on few and privileged situations that you see teams starts the Season and also ends it on a high.



Madrid still has quality and that is a fact that no body can deny, Madrid has thesame chances of winning the league and even the champions League as Barcelona and any other team that is favorite going into the champions League.

Hopefully, it will be a match that lives up to expectations when both clubs put on a good show and there is a lot of back and forth.

This is a big match where both clubs are almost equal favorites for the title so the result could change most people's views on the favorites.
On the other hand I was always looking forward to this match where Haaland and Mbappe finally meet as opponents as they have rarely met each other before.

This will be the most anticipated match of Week 6 and hopefully the result will be as expected and not a game full of surprises.

[Ndabagi01]

Arsenal are the best playing team in the CL now. Most probably we all think the same about it. But like I said, "now". After league phase things can get to a more interesting point too.

Like another team also stealing the spotlight. Just like PSG did it last season. You know Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal and Inter were the best teams of league phase then. But PSG started to shine after.

However I'm on team Arsenal until the end. I hope they maintain this level after this phase too and win even the PL - CL trophies both! 

There is nothing impossible in football but when there is something said which looks unrealistic, we should think about it and make it one to be deliberated on more. Arsenal is a growing team that have lost their plight in the past before, but seeing recent condition of the club, we can actually commend them so far.
The premier league and the champions league are not the two both competitions i think Arsenal can win with their current form now, they’ll have to face a tougher challenge about it. They can go with one and focus with that one until  they win the trophy. Focusing on them both will actually derail them from winning the titles both.

It's going to be a tough game, even though these two teams are currently not on their best or peak form there would still be a high level of competition between them, real Madrid might win this one looking at the fact that they have home advantage, city are also going to put in the best, if I want to go with an option in this game it is going to be Madrid to win or draw because the game has a high chance of ending as a draw

This season Arsenal's performance is very good and not surprising. In the English league, they are still leading the standings with a significant difference from the second place. In the Champions League, it is the same; they are still leading the standings undefeated and have swept all matches with victories. Certainly, the last match against the strong German team Bayern Munich was a special sensation for Arsenal fans. They managed to defeat Bayern Munich with a score of 3-1, a team that traditionally has always been difficult for Arsenal to beat, and Arsenal has even more often lost when facing Bayern Munich.

Exactly you are right that is very strong season of Arsenal, they are doing well both in English League, where they are leading by big difference, and in champions league where they have not lost match, which is proof that they are top team. Most special moment was their 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich, as it was special thing to fans, as that team had always been very difficult to beat by Arsenal, and victory shows that current team is mature, strong, and has needed skill to beat best in Europe.

This isn't the first time Arsenal have impressed. In recent seasons, they have performed very well, but in the second half of the season, the team's overall performance declined, resulting in Arsenal's failure to qualify for the championship. Arteta must realize this if he wants to maintain his momentum for the championship. In the Champions League, remaining undefeated in the group stage doesn't guarantee the title, as failure to maintain a winning streak in the semifinals and final can lead to a loss. Conversely, beating Bayern Munich doesn't guarantee Arsenal's place in the final, as they did last season when they beat Real Madrid.
