UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[MRY]

It seems that Liverpool is gradually getting back on their feet because they have won their matches in recent of time. The fact is that every season cannot be the same. Last season was super good for Liverpool but this season isn't.

I don't think Liverpool can go far in this competition because they are deadly teams who wouldn't have mercy on anyone. Much work is needed to be done.

It is true that Liverpool performance has started to improve, but in my opinion the expectations surrounding them are no longer the same. Arne Slot may focus more on winning every Premier League match going forward, even though at the same time Liverpool will still try to perform well in the Champions League. The absence of several key players has become the main obstacle to maintaining consistency, so Arne Slot might be more realistic.

However, if Arne Slot manages to sign a few quality players in the January transfer window, their chances of progressing further in the Champions League could increase. It is also true that there are many teams in the Champions League that are more deserving of being considered favorites. Liverpool are not being taken as seriously this season after experiencing a decline in performance.

There should be control over the expectations of the people so that they are realistic with the current pool of players in the field. Attacking domestic trophies appears to be smarter as compared to trying to overcome European competition using a crippled squad. Intelligent plays in January could greatly change the power balance provided it is done right. This insulates us to the fact that human resource management plays a big role in a football team making it successful throughout a long season.

Arne Slot, I don't think he's capable of copying Paris Saint-Germain's strategy.
One doesn't have the strategies, he doesn't have the schemes, and then he doesn't even have the players that Paris Saint-Germain has.
So you can't compare the two teams' progress in the UEFA Champions League.
Then anything can happen

Due to recent positive results, now he is able to secure his spot for some time but here I agreed he is not capable of having anything at the top level because he completely fails to bring good strategy for his players, things are still inconsistent, and they need good results.

Champions league has been always full of surprises at its best but PSG and top teams are having good quality which keep them at the top for having better results. Liverpool is surely able to stay in top 8, but they are currently having not enough depth which give them chance to win in this season, their recent injuries are real setback, hopefully they will be able to overcome from that and have chance to stay for another season because it's looking not easy.

If not for Real Madrid having a tough season, Mbappe would take the lead for the highest goal scorer. Erling Haaland is a good match to compete for the highest Champions League goal scorer in the competition, with similar goals scoring qualities, either one of them will certainly finish up as the top scorer.

Seeing Victor Osimhen up there with Haaland, it's just that Galatasaray isn't getting far in the competition to where Manchester City and Real Madrid might reach, which is already shortening the number of goals he may have to score. I still think Victor is up and running in the race for the top goal scorer.

In my opinion, with the Champions League journey still very long, Mbappe still has a chance to overtake Haaland. There is no denying that these two strikers seem likely to compete closely for the top scorer title this season, and of course, this also depends on how far Manchester City and Real Madrid are able to go. As for Osimhen, I think his chances of becoming the top scorer are very slim, as at most Galatasaray may only reach the quarter finals this season.

I think you're misunderstanding this, as Mbappé currently sits in first place on the Champions League top scorer list, while Haaland sits in second. That's why Mbappé is the strongest candidate to become the top scorer this season. But as you said, the Champions League is still quite long, so the competition between Mbappé and Haaland will certainly continue. Therefore, we currently don't know for sure who will be the top scorer this season, as the qualifying rounds haven't even concluded yet.

But I personally hope the top scorer this season is truly unexpected, like Osimhen or someone else. Because if Mbappé or Haaland could become the top scorer this season, I don't think it would be extraordinary. So for now, I'm not really choosing between Mbappé and Haaland, I'm just neutral. Because the most important thing right now is that I'm more focused on the matches being held in this competition.

Osimhen's quality as a player is already evident from the fact that he scored 6 goals in the Champions League while playing for Galatasaray. He could have played even more spectacularly in a stronger team, but he chose Galatasaray. Many teams in need of a striker next year will want to add him to their squad. I don't think Haaland has a very good chance of surpassing Mbappé. Mbappé will continue scoring goals in the same way.

Each team has played only 6 matches in the champions league. They will play two more matches in the first round. There is still a long journey left. The target of both Manchester city and Real madrid is the champions league title. We do not know how the teams will perform in the  knockout round. Anyway, Haaland still has a chance to surpass Mbappe in goal difference. mbappe has scored 9 goals and haaland has scored 6 goals. In the next two matches, Manchester city will play against Bodo glimt and galatasaray. And madrid will face Monaco and benfica. City and Madrid are more likely to win in the last two matches.

[beerlover]

Mbappe is doing wonderful but Haaland is no joke neither, I think they both could fight for the title until end of the season. Result of who will score more will depend on two things, one is who will stay healthy most and will play in every game, and the other is whose team will go further. If they both face each other on the finals that would not be a problem, but if one of their teams loses beforehand than the one who plays more games will have more chance, only if they both stay healthy of course.

But even penalties matter, because in City I have seen others use penalty too, to me Haaland should use every single penalty so that he would have a higher chance to get the lead. But they are both very good scorers without a doubt.

2 matches left means potential 6 points this means we can calculate which teams are in a safe position, for example, the team that is currently in the top 6 is certain to go to the next round because they have collected 13 points, Real Madrid, Liverpool and several other teams only need one more point to be safe. Based on tradition, the players who are on the top scorers list can take their team to the semi-finals or finals and here we can see Kylian Mbappé and Haaland while Arsenal, Munich and PSG can be called surprise teams.

I think that Mbappe, for the role he has, is much more complete than Haaland, who is certainly an excellent player who can do very well, but let's say that at the moment he is the one who can do better than anyone, and it doesn't surprise me that he is in the lead, in the near future we will certainly see many of them

[Velvet78]

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.

Only Kerkez was a doubt and he really shows that he isn't a player who deserves to play for a big team like Liverpool. I liked the rest of the signings at first. It wasn't easy to fill Díaz and Trent's places anyway though.

Wirtz is just starting to gain some confidence. Frimpong can't play properly because of injuries most of the time. The player I'm glad with the most among them is Ekitiké recently.

When it comes to Isak he really can't meet the expectations and injuries are making it harder...

[IceLincoln]

Mbappe will be the top scorer if he  does not face any major injuries. Also, mbappe is at the top of the list of top scorers in the champions league platform. He has scored  9 goals. Haaland, who is in second place, has scored 6 goals. If madrid can qualify for the semi - finals, I believe Mbappe will also be the top scorer in the lhampions League.

In La Liga, the top scorer will almost certainly be Kylian Mbappe because so far he is at the top of the list of top scorers and far ahead of his competitors. However, in the Champions League it is not certain that Kylian Mbappe will be the top scorer because there is still Haaland who is only 3 goals behind Mbappe and besides that, it also depends on how far the journey between Real Madrid and Manchester City is, if Manchester City can advance further than Real Madrid in the Champions League, then the title of top scorer will likely be Haaland's because Haaland's performance is also extraordinary and he is one of the most sharp strikers.

Mbappé is a beast, an ambitious footballer and he plays so well he has all makings of a great player, I used to love him before now but since he moved to Real Madrid I find myself not supporting him as I used to probably because I’m a Barcelona fan…. Jus have this dislike for Madrid players but I respect a lot of them.
Mbappé chances of winning the top scorer in the champions league is high depending on how far Real Madrid performs, with the way he’s scoring even if Madrid don’t get to the finals but the quarter or semis he might still win it cos more than 50% of Madrid’s goals are scored by him. Haaland is a worthy contender as well, also is Victor Osimhen but his club might be his hindrance.

Unlike Haaland, who relies heavily on his teammates and their passes, Mbappe is able to create his own chances and score goals; he is not as dependent on the team. I think that is the main reason why Perez chose him over Haaland. Also, I don’t believe that Real will ever be willing to spend the huge asking price to buy Haaland.

I cannot even be comparing Mbappe to Haaland because they're two different players very outstanding in their own ways. But I think Kylian Mbappe is a more complete player than Haaland who only stays in the box to play his role as a top 9 unlike Mbappe who fights for the ball, gets the ball, dribbles and shoots well too. Since Kylian Mbappe performed greatly in the 2018 world cup and the 2022 world cup, my love for him has increased and I can only say that it was Vinicious Junior's outstanding performance last season that appeared to be as impressive as Mbappe's creative plays.

Haaland may not perform well in a bad team and if he goes out of top teams, he will only become a normal player. This season is another good season for the two players, Haaland with 19 goals and 18 league goals so far. Whichever way, the two talents are great and they still have a long way to go.

If we look at the statistics of both of them currently the number of goals they have scored is not much different but Mbappe does seem more dominant in scoring goals, I think it is quite difficult to determine who is the top scorer this season because the journey is still long and we don't know what will happen to these two players and there is also the possibility of injury but hopefully they stay fit because I hate hearing news of injuries to players who usually contribute the most because the absence of important players can affect the overall performance especially Haaland and Mbappe are strikers who are always relied on by their respective teams.

Managing resources within a club is fundamental, and anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand much about football, but you can't expect everyone to know how to manage human resources and this is a very difficult thing that many clubs, even the successful ones, don't know how to do.

[verdinio]

I don't think Haaland has a very good chance of surpassing Mbappé. Mbappé will continue scoring goals in the same way.

Osimhen has great quality on par with the top European players who are doing things out of the ordinary and this is the new world that allows you to be the greatest but if you don't choose top clubs you will never be able to become the greatest for this he should change clubs

The approach of both Manchester City and Real Madrid to the champions league is obviously such that they really want to win the title due to the antecedent they have with the title, Haaland has been doing greatly and so does Mbappe and so it is very true and correct Haaland may later get above Mbappe by the goal records but so far Mbappe has stayed consistent and will be able to maintain a good record that it will take Haaland some time to beat.

With Galatasaray, Osimhen will not be able to progress much longer in the Champions League, so for Osimhen to compete sounds very difficult unless Galatasaray's performance can be even crazier and able to compete with Manchester City and Real Madrid there, at least until the semi-finals, it is very possible for Osimhen to reach it, but of course we doubt Galatasaray will reach that point.

Osimhen missed two matches in the Champions League, if he hadn’t missed them, I think he would be the top scorer in the Champions League right now.
It looks like he will probably miss one more match due to the Africa Cup of Nations and if he misses that as well, all his chances of becoming the top scorer will be over.
For Galatasaray, even reaching the semifinals would be enough for us. Nothing is over yet, everything will become clear in the coming days.

I think that is the main reason why Perez chose him over Haaland. Also, I don’t believe that Real will ever be willing to spend the huge asking price to buy Haaland.

Real Madrid is actually very lucky because they signed Mbappe on a free transfer. Or we could say that Real Madrid is a team that has a clever approach to the transfer market. They had been courting Mbappe for a long time. And Mbappe himself was indeed interested in Real Madrid. In the end, Mbappe successfully moved to Real Madrid, and Real Madrid managed to sign this player without paying a transfer fee.

Haaland, on the other hand, will definitely not be released by Manchester City. Therefore, Real Madrid will not pursue a player who seems very comfortable in his current team, like Haaland, who appears to be thriving at Manchester City.

Mbappe does have more skills. However, when it comes to converting opportunities into goals, I prefer Haaland, regardless of who is the better player.
