UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Nightwatchmare]

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! 

I used to think that Bayern Munich are the best playing team in the champions league, but after Arsenal won Bayern Munich, i now accept that Arsenal is the best playing team in the champions league this season now. If Paris Saint-Germain could steal the spotlight in the champions league last season after they managed to make it to the round of 16, every team that makes it to the round of 16 can steal the spotlight. Arsenal have been trying to win the premier league and the champions league, but i know they cannot win the two trophies this season but they should try their best to win either the premier league or champions league.

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.

The Champions League is always more unpredictable because no team is guaranteed to win. Last season, even PSG, who were in a poor position before entering the qualifying round, managed to reach the round of 16 and went on to win the Champions League. While PSG weren't the favorites to win the title during the qualifying round, once they reached the round of 16, they began to change their ways and were able to defeat every team that had previously dominated the league with more wins.

Last season, the Champion League winner PSG almost failed the group phase league round and must facing the playoff round match before qualifying to knock out round. I agree about UEFA Champion League winner is unpredictable not one team guarantee will win the UCL trophy, I remember Liverpool last season in phase league round success make unbeaten and won all matches but eliminating early at 16 of round from PSG who difficult qualify to knock out round.
For the top position awhile leading by Arsenal keep unbeaten all 5 matches but its can't guarantee for the Gunner will be the champion league winner this season, I don't blame with their achievement defeating bayern Munich last match but Champion League when playing knock out round always has unpredictable result.

If we have to make predictions about the last plays your reasoning might be logical, but as you well know football is full of unexpected events, the fact that Bayer defeated PSG and Arsenal defeated Bayer brings you no results.
Every game has its own story and plays, there are days where one team plays better and others where they play worse, we are still talking about teams that are truly performing in every sense and could always give us surprises and fun plays.

This is true , just because one team beats the other doesn't mean that they are better. A great example is that Galatasaray beat Liverpool and then Liverpool beat Real Madrid, that doesn't equal to Galatasaray being better than either of them.

However, it does show how seriously a team takes the games, because if you take it seriously then you should win, obviously Liverpool took that game seriously, and yet they had moments where they underestimated other teams and focused only on themselves. Arne Slot needs to realize, just trying to make Liverpool better won't work, that's all he does, trying to make themselves better, that will make them lose. They have to also train based on who they are going to play against.

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

Big teams always have good depth and give good performance Manchester City going to visit Real Madrid after having defeat at home against Bayer Leverkusen this could be not easy trip for them against a team with full of skilled and quality players.

Real Madrid performance in Champions League always on another level just because of this they are always stayed on good and have few advantages chances are high they could be done good against Manchester City.
Defense is now biggest concern for the Manchester City because they are lacking good defender and their opponents are taking good advantage of this hopefully they will improve this in coming transfer window.

In this match Manchester City will indeed experience a little difficulty, especially since they have to play at the Bernabéu stadium and their performance for this year has not been at its maximum and in this match they have to face a tough Champions League team, namely Real Madrid, so Manchester City must really be able to play optimally in order to win the match and currently Arsenal is still in the top ranking, so the victory of both teams between Real Madrid and Manchester City is very important to continue to stick to Arsenal who is at the top of the standings.

With the way things are going in the champions League right now I think the premier League teams are the most favorite to lift the champions League title this season Arsenal has shown a very good performance and they are doing very well both in the premier League and in the champions League they have a very big chance of lifting the champions League title this season and I don't see any team that will be able to stop them from lifting the champions League title this season, if Bayern Munich had won them in the match that they played last week then I will be more sure that Arsenal is not the favorite to win the champions League title but for the fact that they won Bayern Munich who is seen as the strongest in the champions league title race this season because they defeated PSG that people where thinking is the strongest, I'm sure Arsenal is the most favorite team to win the champions League title this season.

We'll see, i agree with you partly, they're playing well in the Champions League.
I see PSG tired or maybe the players are tired, given that they also have the World Cup to play this season, so they will be under real pressure.
Arsenal are doing well, but Manchester City are doing well too.

It is not easy to say or predict who will win between these two teams. Because Real Madrid's performance is very up and down and Manchester City's performance is very similar. Real Madrid has performed well in the last few matches. If Real Madrid can maintain their performance in the same way, then maybe Real Madrid will win. Because Kylian Mbappe is in very good form at the moment. Kylian Mbappe is the only one who is keeping the attacking part in order, he scored the same two goals in the last match. Manchester City's defense needs to be strengthened. If they make even small mistakes, then Manchester City may have to pay a big price for that mistake.

I used to think that Bayern Munich are the best playing team in the champions league, but after Arsenal won Bayern Munich, i now accept that Arsenal is the best playing team in the champions league this season now. If Paris Saint-Germain could steal the spotlight in the champions league last season after they managed to make it to the round of 16, every team that makes it to the round of 16 can steal the spotlight. Arsenal have been trying to win the premier league and the champions league, but i know they cannot win the two trophies this season but they should try their best to win either the premier league or champions league.

It may be too early to conclude that Arsenal is the best team in the Champions League right now. Despite their solid performance in the group stage and good momentum, the competition is still long, and teams like Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, and other big clubs could pose significant obstacles for Arsenal. Or Arsenal's performance could also decline due to injuries to key players and other issues, as they have experienced in previous seasons, where they often stumbled at critical moments.
So, for now, they may have the upper hand, but we just don't know if they can maintain that consistency and mentality until the final. It all depends on how Mikel Arteta manages his team and the confidence of the Arsenal players, whether they are able to maintain their performance or not.

Yes, I also think that these great teams are very good at looking for depth and attacking space and I think they will both do it, needless to say that it will be a very high level match and that it will offer us a great spectacle, there is no doubt about that, I am almost convinced, I can't wait sincerely

[Wakate]

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.

Arsenal is really doing well this season and it looks like they are getting closer to the trophy path.
For Arsenal to be winning their matches and ensuring they don't have too many loses is what many clubs fans are going to see. It was very unfortunate to see Chelsea slacking and even losing their yesterday match. That was a big disgrace to Chelsea and I think the team is not ready to meet up with Arsenal.

for this year I am sure Arsenal can lift the premier league trophy and for the Champions League it does not have a big possibility to be able to win because there are still many strong teams that they have to beat, but for now they are still firmly in first place and we hope that with their good game this season Arsenal can win all the trophies so that they can become one of the clubs that really have high quality both in the premier league and Champions League levels, so we just wait for the next match hopefully Arsenal can win this season.

Last season was turbulent, PSG finally managed to get the UCL, but this year?
He has only 3 points from Arsenal who seem not to want to let go, unlike previous seasons Arsenal have not yet lost the desire to keep performances high.
Of all the ones that might surprise is Real Madrid, it seems that they are recovering from hibernation.

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.

For several seasons, Arsenal have consistently performed impressively in the first half, but have struggled to maintain consistency in the second half. This season could be considered a good one for Arsenal if they can win the Champions League, especially since the club's inception, Arsenal have never won the Champions League, with their best finish being a runner-up finish. To achieve this dream, Arsenal must perform consistently throughout the season and must not let their guard down, as the opponents they will face in the Champions League are very strong.

Arsenal is really a fantastic thing, they are showing everyone that they can make a difference and that they can do really well, right now they can win, they still have to and can still improve their performances in Europe because they can really win it

I have high expectations for this Real Madrid match, i really expect 90 minutes of fun.
I hope to see good action, both despite not being in great form, they have the qualifications to give their all and push for victory, i also think there may be a small chance of a draw.
Just before the match i might place a bet on Real Madrid to win, but i am not sure yet.

This is the year when Arsenal finally wins a big trophy and personally I think they will win both UCL and Premier League and actually shock everyone.

Yes , you are right. Just because they have a clear run so far doesn't mean that automatically they will win the trophy or beating big teams like Bayern or Real will make them favorites because most of us tend to forget that one of the most powerful teams in Europe right now is actually Inter of Christian Chivu. 

[Yabani]

City's task in this match has a tough task ahead. Their form is inconsistent, and their defense is in dire straits. Real Madrid is playing with a different spirit in the Champions League. If Mbappe continues like this, it will be very difficult for City. It seems impossible for City to play comfortably at Madrid's home ground, but football is unpredictable. One ball can change the course of the match. With Arsenal at the top, both teams are under extra pressure , but I still see Madrid as slightly ahead. City's small mistakes could prove costly.

Arsenal are a very strong team, but I don’t know if I should want them to improve their performance, because I don’t know if they’re really a good team when it comes to winning the Champion League, I don’t even see Arsenal as a team that can even win the Premier League and the Champions League.

Well if they are sensible and smart they should be more vigilant and focus on one competition either the Premier League or the Champions League, but Arsenal should just forget about the Champions League and focus more on the Premier League, else they will end up trophyless.

If Rudiger can handle Erling Haaland like he did few seasons ago, then we can say the game is as good as gone and all in the favour of Real Madrid even before the game kicks off.
He is the source of Manchester City's goals this season and if he can be held down like Leeds United defenders did, they will lose this fixture to Real Madrid. Club Brugge Arsenal come next,  I see no pressure,  they will surely win this game to maintain the top spot comfortably.
