UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[giorgione]

Mbappé's abilities are extraordinary, there's no doubt about that. However, from what I've seen, the ball is constantly being sent to him, minimizing the impact of other players on the game. I see and feel that the French player is the most effective player on the team. But coach Xabi needs to develop a tactic that involves the other players as well. Mbappé plays more in line with team play at Real Madrid than he did at Paris Saint-Germain, but he still tries to shoot himself in many situations. Perhaps passing the ball would be more effective for him now, as the opposing defense now anticipates that he will shoot when the ball comes to him.

I consider Mbappe one of the best players currently present in the world football scene on a par with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and seeing him play gives me hope for the future of world football and because there will be a generational change and it will be incredible to experience it.

Liverpool right now is not longer a contender for this season, is sadly but everyone who saw their games knews this, they are doing really bad in defense, and in offensive they score but they dont play really good, plus with the issues with Mo Salah they are gonna be much more in troubles. Another season in the bin sadly for them in Champions League.

Liverpool's focus is divided this season... on the other hand they are improving their ranking in the Premier League, but on the other hand they also need to keep up with the competition in the Champions League, and this makes it more difficult for them to manage their game.
But from what I see, it seems that currently Liverpool is more focused on the Premier League now to at least finish in 4th place to secure a position in the Champions League next season, so they don't want to waste too much effort to play better in the Champions League, maybe they are just playing aiming to survive in the Champions League rather than compete for the title for now.

Liverpool performance is t really good this season to be sincere, after they got some players, I thought Liverpool will dominate both champions league and premier league but yet they are even struggling to make on them happen, which is sad. Their manager, changed the formation which means his strategy is new to the player, this shows that both the current player and the new players that they sign in this season are all struggling with the same thing, I hope the coach will do something about their situation to make Liverpool good again.

Mbappe is a great player of his time and also one of the best player in the world currently but I don't think you should compare him with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi these players are different being entirely, I will say that Mbappe was unlucky not to have won the champions league title and also the FIFA ballon d'Or, at Mbappe's age both players has won the uefa champions league title and also the Ballon d'Or award, he is trying the best he can to see if he can win these two prestigious titles.

[Alex077]

I'm wondering if Mbappe will manage to finish the Champions League as top scorer this year. 9 goals already and the closest ones are Osimhen and Haaland (both have 6 goals).    Last season's top scorers had 13 goals.

This depends on how far Real Madrid will be able to go of course. Xabi Alonso is trying to fix the remaining issues in the team. If he leaves bad days behind in a short time then Mbappe looks quite likely to finish at the top of this table.

So, he is three goals ahead of Osimhen and Haaland, right? If Real Madrid stays in the tournament becoming the top scorer will be only a matter of time for him

In my opinion scoring 9 goal in the group and knockout stages combined is no small feat and Mbappe is having the best Champions League season of his career so far. However the actual catch is that for him to win the Golden Boot Real Madrid needs to reach the semi final or the final. Because Haaland or Osimhen could overtake him at any time if Madrid does not reach the semi final or the final. Although he currently holds the lead ultimately everything will depend on the teams progress. If Real Madrid somehow manages to reach the final then no one will be able to stop Mbappe from winning the Golden Boot 

[cande86]

Yes, Mbappe has gotten himself back to the Mbappe we know, he is scoring goals for fun and his goals has been helping Real Madrid to prosper in all competitions because he is scoring in both the Champions League and the Laliga, and he can be the top scorer across Europe this season if he keeps playing without injury because he is in good form right now.

Is this form helping his team effectively? No because Real Madrid is still behind Barcelona in the Laliga table standings with almost four points different, they are still struggling to qualify to the Champions League round of 16 despite the number of goals being scored by Mbappe all because of their weak defense, therefore, they need to work on their defense if they want to win the league and maybe the champions league.

Mbappe is a practically wonderful guy who always leaves us speechless, at least me, i think he is one of the best players there is in recent times, and that his presence is of fundamental importance for any team where he plays, It is truly the strong point of all the teams he represents

[SquallLeonhart]

I really don't understand why several of those players are finding it tough to adapt, it’s not like they're mid players, they were all top players in their previous clubs before they joined the team. Trend was a key figure for Liverpool but I really missed watching Diaz, he made me love the team last season.
 
 Unfortunately Liverpool's top striker has sustained a very serious injury but luckily for them they didnt only buy one striker, i don't know though but I feel they could buy or loan another striker by January to support Hugo Ekitike.

Well mainly because it's a different team and a different formation and a different strategy and different players. So when you go to a new team, and you do not know how other players play, it takes time to learn how they play so that you can know where they will be in a second, that is the difference between a good pass and a bad pass, knowing exactly what your teammate will do next, helps you with a great pass. This is why they had trouble so far and the more they are playing the better results they are about to get.

The way Liverpool are playing this season i didn't expect that from them because they have many players in the club that can help them perform more better and win the league title for the second term but I see they are struggling to win games in the league and the Champions League, Slot just need to improve in there games this season if he wants to achieve trophies this time around, but the way they are struggling currently I don't think they can win any trophy this time around, let since they still have many games to play in the league they can still pick form and perform better, let see how the season will ends.

I agree that Mbappe is one of the best players in the world nowadays. However, I don't think his level is the same as Ronaldo and Messi. Mbappe needs to get more achievements to have the same level as Ronaldo and Messi. Also, I think his role in the team isn't as big as Ronaldo and Messi yet. In some matches, the team still gets losses although Mbappe scored goals. It is quite different with Ronaldo and Messi who totally can make a difference in the team.

Each team who plays in UCL, their focuses must be divided in many matches. It isn't only Liverpool, other teams also experience the same thing. By the way, Liverpool has been declining a lot their performance, so they must be more realistic in determining their targets for this season. Sure, the most realistic target in EPL is to finish in UCL zone (top 4). Liverpool needs to compete with Chelsea and Aston Villa. I think Liverpool is very possible to finish in 3rd or 4th place this season. Meanwhile for UCL, they probably target to reach semi-final at least. But it isn't impossible that they also can reach the final and compete for the title. We know UCL sometimes gives a surprise.

Many would agree that Mbappe is one of the best players currently, but he's still a long way from Messi and Ronaldo level. I think that at 27, Mbappe still has a chance to reach the heights of Messi and Ronaldo. Mbappe is in the right environment to win all the individual awards, and with the squad depth of Real Madrid and the French national team, it seems very realistic. Over time, Mbappé will become a very influential player on the team, and will certainly be able to make a difference in the outcome of matches.

Definitely we all can say that Mbappe is a very good player and there is no single doubt that. Presently if we are going to mention one best player we have, Mbappe will also be part of the list, as his efforts are been recorded and the record he as be putting down, they are all massive, with all this it still not matter to compare it with Messi and Ronaldo, this men are beast when it comes to football. Due to all the achievements they have gotten, they are something that supposed to have a testament of their own. But still let's give Mbappe the accolades for his great work.
There is one thing I will say. Mbappe is a player that is playing to his best, but if we look at the team, real Madrid, we can see that, that connections and the play is not there all enough, unlike the prime of Ronaldo and Messi, that have players all around them to boost their play, despite the fact they are good.

At the beginning of the season, Liverpool was doing very well, their performance did suggested they were going to be at the top of the league but they later began to drop in performance and all of that did affect their current position but all hopes is not lost for Liverpool, only that it is really sad the huge amount they did spent in players and are not getting the equivalent productivity. Although the coach has got a fair blame share on what is going on with the team, he is not to be completely blame too at same time.

I don't like when people look down at h im or his achievements. I remember when some were saying Yamal was greater or a better youngster, they forget he actively won the world cup in his young age and almost gotten another one in the next world cup tournament.

The Champions league is something he hasn't lifted but him being at Real Madrid he will soon because they usually lift it, and while they might not be solid as before especially defensively, things are improving and they will soon even if they don't lift the trophy this season.

I wouldn't consider Mbappé to be on par with Ronaldo and Messi. Judging by the achievements and accolades Ronaldo and Messi have already won, they still don't compare to what Mbappé has achieved so far, even though he is considered one of the best players and generally better than the other players on the Real Madrid team. Therefore, comparing Mbappé to Ronaldo and Messi in football doesn't feel quite right, as he is still young and still has much more to achieve in the game.

No body is disputing the fact that dude is a baller indeed, at least he's prove himself in so many different ways so it's not something anyone can come out to say less about him, but I think putting that much pressure on him might some how weigh him a lot I can see him and Vinicius due it is actually amazing that is the more reason I'm saying Barcelona should not be so full of themselves because I can really sense Xabi Alonso cooking and it will so much be lite to witness, and again in as much as he's doing his thing I still think he shouldn't get the whole credit because that sometimes can divide a team.

Mbappe is one of best players in this generation and also one of best players in football history. No players are same in skills and performances, Mbappe is an unique player and soon next 10 years and in the future, we will have sayings like this player, that player is a next Mbappe. There is no next Mbappe, just another unique player so is Mbappe, let him be himself.

I wouldn't consider Mbappé to be on par with Ronaldo and Messi. Judging by the achievements and accolades Ronaldo and Messi have already won, they still don't compare to what Mbappé has achieved so far, even though he is considered one of the best players and generally better than the other players on the Real Madrid team. Therefore, comparing Mbappé to Ronaldo and Messi in football doesn't feel quite right, as he is still young and still has much more to achieve in the game.

Why not as he is already a best ever goal scorer for his national team?
He will score more goals in remaining years of his career and likely will win UEFA Champions League titles and perhaps Ballon d'Or in the future. Playing for Real Madrid opens many great opportunities for Mbappe career.

Mbappe can be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo or Haaland as they are goal scorers while Messi owns very different skills that make him different than other players. I only agree that Mbappe can not be compared and considered on a same par with Messi.

It's difficult to catch up to the achievements of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi because both players have achieved extraordinary things both individually and for their teams. I don't think any player currently has the same level of success as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and Mbappé doesn't fit the comparison. Haaland also cannot be compared with those two players because they come from different eras. What achievements do you think Mbappé and Haaland can achieve to become like these two great players?

Mbappe is a great player, and he is probably lucky to be among the best players at the moment, but that is not enough for anyone to compare Mbappe to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi because Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been in the game for so long, and they gave us good competition, and even if Mbappe won the champions league and the ballon d'Or, he would still not be at the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Mbappe should be compared to players like Harry Kane and Erling Haaland because these are the players Mbappe is on the same level with.

[Tamaperdana]

Liverpool's improvement in receent plays bodes well, but they will certainly have to work harder than usual to get through the next few games.
He will most likely win, but as we well know, football always holds surprises and nothing can be taken for granted.
Marseille won't give up their goal easily, just as they might even screw the game over Liverpool.

Yes, you're right. Although Liverpool's performance has improved, they shouldn't be complacent. Because their Champions League campaign isn't over yet, as they'll face two more teams, one of which is Marseille. I think, compared to the other team, Marseille is a team that will certainly give Liverpool a tough time. Therefore, Arne Slot shouldn't be careless about this. If Liverpool loses their next two matches, it's clear Liverpool won't be able to break into the top 8 and automatically qualify for the knockout stage.

So, I think Arne Slot needs to make Liverpool even stronger, because I think it would be a bit troublesome if Liverpool entered the play-offs. Because in the play-offs, Liverpool could be unlucky and fail to advance to the round of 16, which would be ridiculous. So, I don't think Liverpool should underestimate the two teams they'll face, because these matches are truly decisive for Liverpool at this point.

Mbappe should be compared to players like Harry Kane and Erling Haaland because these are the players Mbappe is on the same level with.

I believe that every argument brought up here is sound in various perspectives. Mbappe is by far one of the most decisive players currently in the world football and it is only natural that the team tends to seek him as he can turn games around in a blink of a second. Nevertheless, excessive use of him may make the team predictable particularly at the top level such as the Champions League. It is hard to draw a direct parallel between him and such players as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi because they are two unrealistic standards established during a very long time. The career of Mbappe is still in the process of being written. In the meantime, it is more reasonable to compare him to such players as Haaland or Kane, and his legacy will be measured in terms of trophies, routine, and the way he helps his teammates to improve.
