UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[tygeade]

The scoreline against Arsenal in the premier league is saying that Liverpool is not as bad as we think they are after all. Liverpool is not in a perfect shape as expected. Arsenal is thriving currently and we are judging based in the results we are seeing so far but I think of to give it some more time as the champions league still have some more weeks ahead.

United firing Amorim before Liverpool fired Arne Slot was not in my bingo card. But you are right, Liverpool isn't "terrible", they are doing as fine as they possibly can, in UCL they are doing decently and I am expecting them to be doing fine for a while longer.

They won't face too difficult teams until last sixteen and may lose there depending on who they face. Yet, when it comes to Premier league, they did manage to get to fourth place, and that means while they won't win the league, they will be in UCL next season as well. Since they spent 400+ million this summer, they have to win something, even if they don't get to win UCL, they have to do fine to go as far as they possibly can to get some of that money back at least.

[Wake Up]

Underestimating a team that has reached the Champions League multiple times is a mistake because the team is mentally and experienced and is used to facing the pressure of the Champions League. Arsenal are indeed the center of attention this season because people might see a similar situation like what happened to PSG last season, but if Arsenal can't withstand the intense pressure, it will be difficult for them to win the title. Moreover, they are currently focused on the Premier League, so the manager's focus is not only on the Champions League, but they also need to achieve much better results in the Premier League this season.

I don't think Arsenal will underestimate a Squarea team that played in the Champions League final, on the contrary, I think they are quite scared even if they recognize their superiority I think it is a very defensive part and that there will be two syqadres who study each other

Arsenal is a very strong team and they can never be afraid of PSG because they have already seen how PSG is playing this season so there’s nothing to be afraid of, this season Bayern Munich lost to Arsenal in this champions league competition and same Bayern Munich won PSG in the same competition so they will never be scared of PSG. Arsenal is one of the best teams in the world and they are topping in one of the most difficult league in the world as for me if PSG and Arsenal should meet I believe Arsenal will win them, I know Arsenal will not underestimate PSG if they should meet they will give in there best to make sure that they win them, Arsenal coach knows how to play any team that they meet and Arsenal has a lot of good players that are always performing very well in every match.

I don't understand why Arsenal should be afraid of PSG, since they don't have a match against them yet. They have Inter and Kairat left. If they beat Inter, they'll have won their last game. However, the Inter match won't be easy. Because it's in Italy, in front of a very passionate crowd, they'll be up against a very strong team. They are currently leading the Italian league. Similarly, Arsenal are leading the Premier League. So we'll be watching a battle between the leaders in the next match.

Liverpool is not as bad as we thought about but they form isn't good enough. Liverpool 0-0 draw against Arsenal could be that Liverpool still has some energy left and may not be completely out of form. We need to see what is left of them and a similar display put in play in the UEFA champions League. Liverpool has nothing to fight in the English premier league since the title is now out of their hands but they still have a Champions League to play.

[Franctoshi]

Arsenal, currently ranked first in the English Premier League, owes its position to the inconsistent performance of its rivals, such as Manchester City. However, looking at Arsenal's ranking in the Champions League, it clearly has a strong position, as it is currently at the top of the standings. So, in my opinion, it is not impossible that Arsenal could potentially become Champions League champions. But of course, no one knows who will win the Champions League this season since the Round of 16 has not yet begun. However, it is also possible that PSG could surprise us all and become champions again in this season's Champions League.

in fact, what they must not do is undervalue the teams, no team should be underestimated and Arsenal knows this, even if they seem to be in difficulty, surely then this thing will weigh, if you make a mistake and if they make it in that way they have the risk of losing everything

I don't think Arsenal will make such a mistake because they've finished second too many times lately and they want to be champions now. They've also been yearning for a championship for a very long time and they know they can end it this year. They're ahead of Manchester City and the advantage remains with Arsenal. They're also in very good shape in the Champions League and I think we'll see an Arsenal team that's very well-prepared for every game.

No doubt Arsenal is doing very well both in the their domestic league and the champions League, I still have a bit of doubt in them as regards to how they use behave towards when there are few matches left untill the end of the season, though there has been a serious improvement this season compared to last two previous seasons if we take look at their performance in the premier league this season, but we can testify that is as a result that their major competitors in the league, Manchester city, Liverpool Chelsea, and Man Utd are in an ugly form this season, and given them this huge advantage.

Liverpool 0-0 draw against Arsenal could be that Liverpool still has some energy left and may not be completely out of form.

Liverpool has nothing to fight in the English premier league since the title is now out of their hands but they still have a Champions League to play.

How can you say Liverpool are not that bad when they are the defending Premier League champions this season, but their performance is so bad. So far Liverpool have suffered 6 defeats and 5 draws in 21 matches, they are fortunate enough to be in 4th place in the standings with a gap of 8 points below Aston Villa in 3rd place. Brentford and Newcastle are clearly two threats who are still pressing quite closely, of course because the points gap between the three is very close and could change position at any time Liverpool slips up.

Liverpool's Champions League form is certainly not too bad compared to some other Premier League teams like Chelsea, Tottenham, and Newcastle, but I doubt they can overcome all the obstacles easily. 6 other teams including Barcelona are only 1 and 2 points below Liverpool, so if Liverpool loses points in the remaining matches, they could lose their current position. Liverpool's performance this season has not lived up to expectations, that is an undeniable fact.

I don't think Arsenal will be afraid to face psg this season and I can says that this season PSG are not in a good shap like last season and Arsenal have been doing very great since the start of the season. Arsenal have be dominating all the competition they are into and they have more higher rank to win the league and champions league if they can continue like this without performing weak or any injuries players they can win the trophy. After the next two matches we will know if they can perform in the next stage because I no they will surly face big club in the competition and they won't take it easy for each other let see how the games will goes.

Liverpool is not as bad as we thought about but they form isn't good enough. Liverpool 0-0 draw against Arsenal could be that Liverpool still has some energy left and may not be completely out of form. We need to see what is left of them and a similar display put in play in the UEFA champions League. Liverpool has nothing to fight in the English premier league since the title is now out of their hands but they still have a Champions League to play.

This season Liverpool are not in there good shap and that is why they are losing games back to back this season and slot as not improved yet and I don't know when the team will be better, because they have good players in the team but the coach can't handle them probably this season. Let see how the league will ended but he will be hand for them get the title they can just finish in top four so that they can get the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League next season, and this ucl of this season they will definitely eliminate them with how they are playing if they qualify for the next round he will be difficult for them to get to next stage.

Liverpool have made serious improvements in their team and just like you rightly said, their encounter with Arsenal was a confirmation. Everyone thought that Arsenal was going to crush Liverpool but that did not happen as the best of Arsenal could not produce even one goal. That shows that Liverpool is not that bad at the moment and with the force they used for Arsenal, they will definitely be a difficult opponent in the next round of the champions league.

Arsenal and Inter Milan may be at the top of their league tables but that doesn’t better equate to compare them on which team has the more tendency to win in this champions league clash. These two teams are on different level in the champions league, so I don’t think this match will better tell the actual strength of this teams, this is the first round of the tournament and since they may have even qualified for the next round, they won’t put more effort in this match until they qualify for the knockout phase of the champions league.

Liverpool is not as bad as we thought about but they form isn't good enough.

Liverpool is not dead totally yet, and I think they still have it in them and their bad form may be coming to an end already. They’ve been on a poor form for a very long time now, but until the league competition is over, I think we can say if Liverpool will win the trophy or not. Champions league happens to be a totally different game of focus for Liverpool and it doesn’t looks to affect their form in the premier league.

We all are hoping for Liverpool to make serious improvement, today's game against a minor club don't add to my own list of confirmation. The draw game that happened against Arsenal was a one time wonders, more of such performance in big games is what i will take into consideration to be Liverpool returning back fit. Although, their improvement isn't sending them back to the contenders list, if they can achieve a Champions League space that's enough for the season, hopefully by next season, they can improve to compete.

I agree with some of your points about Liverpool's performance - but believe me, Liverpool are not as good as they were last season. Liverpool has given me too many reasons to doubt them in various matches – they have even frequently disappointed me in some matches that I expected them to win, and their performance remains inconsistent up to week 21. If you're saying their performance wasn't too bad simply because they managed to hold Arsenal to a draw, then why did they draw against Leeds and Fulham?

I sincerely hope Liverpool can bounce back and improve their performance – but I know it won't be easy. It will take a process and good teamwork to achieve success – but the pressure will continue to come from various angles. Liverpool will always be expected to give their best in every match - so I think we just need to support their overall plan instead of punishing them with harsh criticism.

Liverpool in the premier league is already counted out to me, because no matter how they perform or performance is tend to be, I don't think they can still contend, it will be better for them to have a perfect spot for the next season champions league, and as well, we saw how they managed to hold a draw with Arsenal, it was something that I was not expecting as well, and if they can keep this play or try to add more tempo on their play, trust me, they will definitely go far. Liverpool are not completely out, they need to show some level of performance back on the pitch.

Making up for 14 points is impossible because Arsenal won't fall apart completely and Liverpool is unlikely to win like 15 games in a row. If Arsenal would fail so bad, there is still Manchester City that could take over. It would need so many coincidences for Liverpool to come back, it's not possible.

They will secure their UCL qualification as I think with the pressure on the rise they still have potential to improve their game to the extent that that will not be at risk. It would devastating for them if they failed to qualify for the UCL.

[DiMarxist]

Counting out Liverpool may just be too much because Liverpool is one team that, is one of those teams that has shown to be one of the best teams playing in the champions. Yes they may be out of form but totally writing Liverpool will be a disrespect to Liverpool as a football team.Forms can change and I believe that Liverpool is one team that doesn't give up easily. I believe that, Liverpool will come back to form and start playing their usually way.I am one person that doesn't write off teams no matter how they are playing because football is dynamic and anything is possible lack of form sometimes doesn't mean anything.

Liverpool's performance this season has not lived up to expectations, that is an undeniable fact.

Yeah obviously Liverpool are still good like still they have much better progress than others team. But here I will mention that UEFA Champions League competition is a competitive tussle and stage by stage it gets harder and harder and if you team performance is not consistent they probably you won't be able to survive here. For the beginning of the season Liverpool performance is not consistent like initially they were not good but now they regained their strength.....

Besides that their upcoming schedule in the UEFA Champions League is not tough and probably they will be easily get the victory to claim more points to get minimal the place for top rank. But on the other hand if they failed and didn't even win any match in the upcoming schedule then their probability of becoming qualified could slightly fall. So victory is necessary.

After this league match against Napoli, i had to change my opinion. Inter didn't really show anything special, even though they had all their players available, unlike Napoli. To stay on topic, i think Arsenal will definitely win this game because, as you said, Arsenal is a very scary team in the UCL. In my opinion, they also have faster players who can disrupt Inter’s defense, which is a combination of Akanji and Bissek, who look very weak. I know league matches and UCL matches aren’t the same, and i also know that some teams might have an off day and play better, but i still think Arsenal will win this match

Inter Milan cannot be called a favorite just by considering the home match. In their last match, Inter milan lost to liverpool. Liverpool is in off form. Even then, they were able to win at inter milan's home. So, it is unlikely that Inter Milan will win against Arsenal with home facilities. Inter Milan could not win against napoli either. If arsenal gives their full effort, then they have a high chance of winning. Even then, since both the teams are very strong. Anything can  happen in this match. Football is always  unpredictable. We have seen the favorite team lose many times.

I agree, football is unpredictable, but to be realistic, at the moment i think Arsenal are the better team for one simple reason they look more prepared and are giving 100%. Inter have the home advantage, but we’ve seen that it doesn’t really mean much. Far from being a bad team, Inter definitely have quality, but i think Arsenal are currently well ahead of them

For the EPL, maybe they are that prepared but for the UCL, I don’t figure Arsenal to be that ready to lift this prestigious trophy.

The UCL is a league where a great degree of experience with the league has always played out and with Arsenal not having an experience with the league, it would be really difficult for them to win this like we all would like them to do. Arsenal has done a lot and showed a lot of progress in their games but, can they hold it and remain consistent? Fatigue could become a problem going forward.

Liverpool has nothing to fight in the English premier league since the title is now out of their hands but they still have a Champions League to play.

Also think if this. Liverpool, may want to do everything to see that they secure the Champions league title, since the premiere league is already dominated by another team. This is actually what Liverpool need to, because even if things didn’t go well for them in the premier league, they’re not suppose to be left behind in Champions league.

They need to do better, so they will shows that they can still do it, because everyone already thinking Liverpool is weak, no more in a good form this season so they need to prove to us that, they are in the form and can still win another trophy, let’s wait  season what will happen and there’s long way to go.

It is not all black and white. If I am not mistaken, it was Arsenal that knocked out Real Madrid last time in the Champions League with a total result of 5-1 in both legs. Let me remind you that Arsenal knocked out the most experienced team there has ever been in the Champions League to this date. I think that is proof enough that there is sufficient reason to believe they do have a shot here.

At the moment there is no team as dominant as PSG used to be in 24/25. PSG is not leading Ligue 1, almost lost against Marseille a few days ago and Real Madrid got their coach fired. Manchester City couldn't win the last three games in the Premier League and Inter and AC Milan are far from a perfect record in Serie A.

The only team that seems to be ahead of the rest is Bayern Munich for now, but then guess who was the only team to beat Bayern this season? Arsenal!

Barcelona looked very strong in 24/25 and yet got knocked out by Inter Milan. It's difficult to ever predict the winner in this competition, but I think considering performances in domestic leagues, Barcelona, Bayern and Arsenal can very well be considered favourites along with a few other clubs.

obviously Liverpool are still good like still they have much better progress than others team. But here I will mention that UEFA Champions League competition is a competitive tussle and stage by stage it gets harder and harder and if you team performance is not consistent they probably you won't be able to survive here.

I'm sure they will get eliminated very soon. They can only escape directly to the round of 16 if they eventually get shuffled in after the upcoming games. Else, their fate will only be decided by the team they eventually face. My prediction is they aren't making it far this time around unless they keep getting lucky with whichever opponents they face.

Could be eventually wrong, but then the current Liverpool doesn't look promising at all.

I think you shouldn't be so sure about that. Liverpool beat Real Madrid at Anfield and showed they can beat any team. When it comes to the Champions League, and with little chance left in the Premier League, we'll see Liverpool completely focused on the Champions League. This will make them a very dangerous team in the Champions League. Liverpool has a very high-quality squad, and the players are slowly starting to get along with each other. I have no doubt that they will become an even better team as time goes on. They will be a tough opponent in the Champions League, and I think they can gradually rise in the Premier League as well.
