UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Abu-Naim]

Some players, in particular, focus solely on scoring goals. However, if they aimed for team success by playing as a team, they could achieve much better results. Real Madrid, in particular, struggles in this regard. Both Mbappé and Vinicius Junior make mistakes that lower the team's level, forcing the team to work harder to compensate for their shortcomings. Furthermore, when they lose possession in attack, they don't track back. This creates significant problems for Real Madrid.

I thought I am the only one that noticed that Real Madrid have players with individual brilliance, but the teamwork is not there to help the team achieve greatness that’s why people are always mocking players like Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. they have qualities to score goals, guy they are after their individual performance in the field which lead to selfishness sometimes and it affects the team performance overall.

This same problem of teamwork was what Alonso was trying to solve, as he started to have problem with some of the players, the team blamed him and get him sacked, now the coach to replace him has lost more matches than him in small matches played.
An experience coach needed to bring back glory to Madrid, and they also needs to sign more players in the summer especially defenders.

Definitely, Madrid players would have a heated argument in the dressing room for the lack of team play which led to the team getting knocked out in the quarter finals. Had these two key players done the right thing, the team wouldn't lose all tension the moment Carmavinga was awarded a red card, because they must have been a goal or two ahead of Bayern.

[Amphenomenon]

Arsenal still have a good squad depth, just injuries and inconsistencies but while Atletico Madrid can be a threat especially with they having the better against Barcelona this season, not in the Champions league,  we shouldn't ignore the fact that Arsenal have a good record lately against LA Liga teams but still they have to be weary of the threats from ATM.

Yes, Atletico Madrid can be a threat for Arsenal, but even then if we want to talk about the chances between them, then Arsenal has more chances. Arsenal will not miss the opportunity to go to the final in any way, because Arsenal wins most of the matches, it is not easy to beat them, and in the Champions League they are very serious, so Atletico Madrid will not be able to easily beat Arsenal. I think Arsenal will go to the final, now let's see how complicated their performance is in the match.

Yes, Arsenal may make it to the final and then it will be very difficult for them not to lift the UEFA champions league but if Atletico Madrid wins then they might just be the underdog that made it to the final and possibly lift the trophy.

Although their opponent, PSG or Bayern Munich aren't any  walkaway but they still stand a chance as underdog.

[slapper]

They can't just lose everything at this critical stage of the competition, they have been impressive in almost every season but winning the title is one of the main problem they use to have, I believe Arsenal have consistency bit what they lack is the ability to maintain that consistency to the end that is the issue. And if they lost to Athletico Madrid and Manchester city, this will really disappoint the fans who have been patiently expecting for their team to maintain consistency to the end of the season. At least, this season, Arsenal should try and win at least one trophy for their fans. Winning either Champions League or premier league will really help them or boost their faith and morale for next season.

What is consistency if it cannot be maintained till the end if the season, it is just obvious that Arsenal has a temporary kind of consistency and so they struggle at the time when they are needed the most. Arsenal do not seem to have the winning mentality and that is why they sometimes come this far and struggle to win the title, I will not be surprised if they loose out in the champions league because even at this point, I still have some doubt about them.

Arsenal disease is always like that when approaching the end of the season, for some reason they can't maintain consistent performance until the end even though their journey is only a little bit left but instead they lost several points so currently many still doubt Arsenal especially in the Champions League even though they have reached the semifinals but they will face Atletico Madrid who just beat Barcelona, ​​I think Arsenal will lose here just look at how Arsenal faced Sporting CP only able to win in the first leg with small wins, while facing Atletico Madrid will most likely be more difficult.

2022/23 was a real collapse. Five points to the clear and they lost it, City ran them over. Arsenal has won the five games in 2023/24. The five consecutive victories at the end of the season and they still lost the title by two points as City also had their last five wins. And last season when Liverpool was drawing away, certain that it was hurting, but that was not some bleeding spurt, that. This year though they've lost four games. The Bournemouth defeat was a sort of disaster of the season to many. However, they had won the four games prior to this.

Their midfield has been virtually playing all the minutes of all the games this season and their bodies are beginning to crumble at the worst moment. Saka out, Odegaard doubtful, Merino gone, even Timber picked up a knock against Sporting three days before the City game. Simple wear and tear of fighting on too many fronts at once and City gets bounced out of Europe early and gets to sit there with his feet up picking them off.

I do have a felling that even if camavinga wasn't give a red card they would have still been knocked out,
Yes I know that there will be a chance of them winning, but from what I watched from the beginning of that match, Bayern always had the higher probability of winning the match based on their aggressive performance, their defence second half, was at the best.
The worse that could happen would have been a penalty kick off, which was even unlikely.

[Asiska02]

Although their opponent, PSG or Bayern Munich aren't any  walkaway but they still stand a chance as underdog.

I just feel if Arsenal should make it to the finals, they may have a chance to lift the trophy. They just need to beat Atletico Madrid now to make it to the finals before even thinking of prevailing in the finals. The match in the semifinals looks to be a tough one for each sides. I feel the underdogs met each other and the bigger teams also met each other in their respective match ups. After this stage, I don’t think the finals will be rated based on who is an underdog or not.

Making it to the finals needs you to be very prepared and be at your very best much more better than before. So I think both teams have a chance for the title for whomsoever makes it to that stage. I am looking forward to these four teams to see which of them will make it to the finals and lift the trophy. The champions league is full of surprises and I think we will see those big surprises in this two legged match that’s going to be played in the semifinals.

[Ale88]

We need to talk about Real Madrid. It is not just about the fact that they lost to Bayern Munich, but it looks like they are not looking good with Mbappe, and every single time we have seen this, it's reminding us that while he is doing better personally anywhere he goes, he makes the teams worse.

I do not know why that is, but when he was at PSG they were losing, now they are further than Real Madrid for two years in a row, winning UCL last season, which they did not do before with Mbappe, but did last year and still ahead of them this year too, not sure if they will win, but doing better at least. So Real has to figure out a way to use Mbappe somehow, because whatever they are doing now, works for him, but doesn't work for the team.

Actually the answer is very simple: Mbappé is a great player, one of the best in the world, but he mainly plays for himself. He knows he is the best in the team and always wants the remind it to everyone. We had a great example a few weeks ago when, during friendly match with his national team, when he was coming in from the bench he immediately asked to receive the captain's armband: many other great players of the past never did that. That also shows some insecurity because if you truly are seen as the captain and the leader by your team, you don't really need the armband, your teammates already know it.
Do you think it's a coincidence he left PSG and they immediately won every single title? Absolutely not. I already said it, having Mbappé in your team is a bless and a curse.

[Tamaperdana]

Had these two key players done the right thing, the team wouldn't lose all tension the moment Carmavinga was awarded a red card, because they must have been a goal or two ahead of Bayern.

Yes,, of course, Real Madrid players will blame each other for their failure to reach the semifinals. But I think that's no longer useful, because Real Madrid has failed and their journey in the Champions League is clearly over now. So now Real Madrid players should clearly be able to reflect on their respective mistakes rather than arguing. Because basically,, all Real Madrid players must also be responsible for their failure in this competition. So the point is there is no need to blame each other, because it is clear that it will not solve any problems.

So with that,, we as viewers also do not need to worry about Real Madrid's failure in the Champions League, because it is better for us to just focus on the team that is currently able to enter the semifinals. Because basically, that is the real great team at this time, because even though they don't have players as famous as Real Madrid, but they are able to prove that to be a strong team they don't need too many star players in it. So that's why we must focus ourselves on these four great teams. And I personally think I will support PSG this time, because I think they have a huge potential to be champions again this season.

Mbappe and Vini are a bit aggressive. And I agree with you that Mbappe does not  play for the team. He plays for himself. He is very reluctant  to  assist. He only wants to score goals. Vini has this trait to some extent. But Mbappe has been like this for a long  time. He does not  have a good relationship with his teammates. When he was at psg , we saw that mbappe did not  have a good relationship with players like Messi and neymar. He also did not have a good relationship  with his teammates and the manager at madrid. If Mbappe can't change that, it will be very difficult for Madrid to stabilize their  performance.

[satscraper]

On papers, Bayern Munich is the strongest and most close club to win the Champions League this season. We have seen their strength with dominant performances against Real Madrid who were also strong and played well. We have seen in the other side, Atletico Madrid against Barcelona, surprisingly they managed to pass through with a bit of luck even after having some difficulties in second leg.

However, this is football and that’s why we love following every match, nobody can say that Arsenal or PSG have the same chances as well. I wonder if anyone knows where and the odds to bet on the winner.

PSG and Bayern Munich is definitely going to be very tough on both sides, first leg and second leg.

Agreed that we will highlight the tough matches in both legs, but take into account that PSG is not in the same form as they were a year ago. A few key players who secured their win last season have left. Kylian Mbappe, who moved to Real Madrid, is the most notable one. Bayern also lost some players, but their squad is more consistent in my view. So from the bettor’s perspective, I would lean toward Bayern,even though I personally prefer PSG to take trophy.

So Real has to figure out a way to use Mbappe somehow, because whatever they are doing now, works for him, but doesn't work for the team.

Yes, sometimes I don't understand all of this, but I certainly think it could be a coincidence that ultimately causes Real Madrid to always perform less than expected when Mbappé is around. Mbappé does always play well, but strangely, Real Madrid is always inconsistent in winning. Strangely enough, when Mbappé was at PSG, PSG didn't win the UCL, but after Mbappé left, PSG's performance improved and they finally won the Champions League trophy.

In my opinion, there are currently many strong players, which many people don't realize because sometimes we focus too much on the very popular players and sometimes forget the less popular but great players. The point is, even though Real Madrid has many star players, there's no guarantee of consistent wins. Essentially, there are many strong players, especially players whose teams are capable of playing in the Champions League. But in my opinion, Real Madrid just needs a few new additions and a stronger back line for now.

The worse that could happen would have been a penalty kick off, which was even unlikely.

Without being sentimental, it was very obvious that the red card of camavinga changed the context of the game entirely, because after he left the pitch, everything became very easy for Bayern munich, if not, the game was actually heading to the extra time which we all knows that anything can still happen.

 I think that camavinga cost them the game with his unnecessary red card, and I never expected such a performance from real madrid  from the beginning of the game because I thought that Bayern munich would have been too strong for them, but their historic performance was cut short by a single player carelessness, but in the game of football, things like that do happen, a mistake from a single player can flush down the effort of his team mate down the toilet, and that was what happened to real madrid against Bayern munich.

Paris Saint Germain lost Mbappe to Real Madrid even before they won the champions league last season and I'm pretty sure that Mbappe regretted why he left Paris Saint Germain to Real Madrid because the reason he... was because he thought Paris Saint Germain can not be able to give him that trophy but later it was looking like he was the barrier that made them not to win the trophy since. Paris Saint Germain vs Bayern Munich is going to be tougher than Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid.

It's something important to do, sometime let go of the most important player in the club and watch the transmission of your club. It was pretty a hard decision for PSG to do but they ended up letting the frenchman exit parc des princes stadium and look at where they are today. Luis Enrique knew the problem of the club and when he solved that puzzle, he won major trophies and gave Paris Saint Germain the UEFEA Champions League trophy. Is it a coincidence or a fluke?

If Paris Saint German lifts the UEFEA Champions League this season again, it means they're on the path to break Zinedine Zidane record with Real Madrid, winning the UCL three times in a row. PSG will face Bayern Munich which happen to be one of the prominent club in the UCL this season.

The main fact is that Luis Enrique was able to understand the  problem of the club. In his first season in charge, we saw that he gave Mbappe a  lot of rest. He experimented with the psg  squad without Mbappe. And he succeeded. PSG won all the titles last season without mbappe and this season PSG's performance in the champions league and ligue 1 is quite good. On the other hand, Real madrid is not happy with mbappe in the squad. Mbappe is able to  score a lot of goals. But madrid's overall performance is weak and inconsistent.

PSG also has the possibility of winning the champions league this year. They are going to face munich in the semi-finals. Although the  opponent is strong , PSG is not a weak team. The fight between Luis enrique and kompany will be quite enjoyable.

[Cityhunter34]

Honestly, this two teams was my favorite for the champions league trophy this season but it's obvious now that one of them must surrender in the game. So there is nothing to worry about anymore because they have join them together which everything is possible to happen in the game but I think their first leg might likely determine the one that would qualify for the final because they look pretty good in the game and any of them that will manage and secure the first leg will definitely play with extremely careful in their second leg. But let's see how it goes with them.

If Bayern Munich and psg are not your favourite teams for the champions trophy then who is your favourite team? Bayern Munich deserve the champions league since they haven't won it in a long time,if any team deserves the trophy,then it should be Bayern Munich though it also doesn't mean the trophy should be handover to them. The semi finals fixtures is a nice one especially the Bayern munich and psg game while the arsenal atlectico madrid is another tough game but my favourite team in the competition is Bayern Munich..

The fact that Bayern Munich has not won champions league for a long time doesn't mean they deserve it. What you are supposed to be talking about is there performance and not the fact that they haven't won the league for a long time. What Arsenal that haven't won champions league before?. They are even the one that deserves to win it the most judging from what you are saying. Anyone can choose there favourite team, it psg or Bayern Munich.

As far as I know that those things doesn't work in the game of football it will still not work, unless they do the needful things this season. Because it's not only Bayern Munich that haven't won the Champions league, there are other teams which is also not satting for them.

So it makes no sense at all because they are in the final stage of the game which every team are fighting to be on the winning side so it's not possible for them even though they are in good shape anything can still happen in the game.

This is the problem of buying big players. You need to have strong and hardworking attacking and defensive midfielders when you have lazy strikers. This is why Real Madrid collapsed soon after Eduardo Camavinga received the red card. This is why I like players like Victor Osimhen. He is always tracking back whenever his team is under attack.

A new coach would have to curtail the excesses of some of these strikers. There have also been traces of selfishness among Real strikers.

Of course, football doesn't say so.. if you play well, remain strong, and somehow, luck on your side, you win. But if you don't play well, and you aren't strong, without good tactics, you fail and loose out.

It's never who has never won it or has won it for long. It is who plays to win, and remains consistent  in there plays that wins at last. So if Beyern Munich wants to win, then they must remain strong, play well and remain consistent till tye end, and it becomes there own. If any other team plays better than them, then they will end up winning above Beyern Munich. So, the better team will win.

Did you expect that Real Madrid would have been able to win the match with one man down. I doubt, that's possible because after Camavinga red card Bayern took advantage of it and dominated the game in all aspects. Camavinga red card was why Real Madrid lost the match and not the problem that you mentioned.

Camavinga's red card is a big reason; I agree with what you said, but aside from that, we also have to admit that overall Real Madrid this season is not very good, so I am not surprised when they were eliminated by Bayern Munich because, in my opinion, it is very deserved.
And regarding Real Madrid's forward line, with several selfish players, it has indeed become a problem that has often been discussed since the beginning of the season.
