UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Phoenix Anka]

We have to congratulate PSG. It’s not easy to eliminate an opponent like Bayern Munich. If it had been any other team, they might have been knocked out. I think PSG, who will face Arsenal in the final, is the favorite against Arsenal. In my opinion, Arsenal has no chance of lifting this trophy. Luis Enrique has established a great system within the team. No one complains even when changes are made; they just step aside. I think Luis Enrique will win the Champions League title again this season. Last year, they managed to defeat Inter 5-0 in the final. There’s a high potential for a similar result this time. Arsenal might be in for a heavy defeat.

Considering Arsenal's solid defense, I don't think they'll suffer such a high-scoring defeat, but it's clear they could struggle against Paris Saint-Germain. It will definitely be a tough final. They'll be fighting for the Champions League title, and both teams will want to play their best.

Arsenal will have to make a choice. Either they’ll focus entirely on winning the Champions League, or they’ll focus on winning the league title after such a long drought. In my opinion, ending their league title drought seems more important for them. With Manchester City dropping points, they’re once again the favorites to win the title, so they can no longer afford to drop points in their matches. Frankly, I don’t think they can beat PSG, and I suspect they feel the same way.

The final match will be played on May 30th. The Premier League will end by May 30th. The last match will be played on May 24th. Therefore, they don't really have a choice between the two trophies. They can win both. The six-day gap is enough time for them to prepare for the championship match. So they will want to prepare as best as possible for their match against Paris Saint-Germain and win the game.

That’s actually why I said that. We don’t know if they might lose a few players to injury before this match. That will become clear after the matches they play leading up to the final week. If they don’t want to lose certain players, they’ll have to take precautions for the PSG match. Let’s say that after the match on the 24th, several of their players get injured beforehand, leaving the squad short on available players. That’s exactly what I’m trying to say. While focusing on the league, they have to consider certain things. You don’t want to lose your best players to injury before the PSG match.

I agree. Arsenal won't want to take risks in the final league matches and will want to rest their key players. Because the last thing they want is for a key player to get injured before the Paris Saint-Germain match. So, securing the league title early would be more reassuring for them. Hopefully, they'll clinch the Premier League title early and we can see a magnificent final match with both teams fielding their best squads.

Bayern Munich were just way below the expectations... This was mostly thanks to a great defending by PSG of course! They found the goal very early and showed one of their best stance in defense this season.

Meanwhile they could have even scored more goals. You must have seen Neuer's amazing saves. Bayern Munich should be thankful for not being destroyed at home.

Now I believe in PSG to win a back-to-back title against Arsenal in the finale. They just never get tired and this huge effort deserves a trophy.

It’s confirmed what I’ve been thinking since the Round of 16. I had a long discussion outside the forum about which teams would make it to the final and which would win the Champions League. One of them was adamant that his chosen team would reach the final and win the Champions League. That team was Atlético Madrid. I said that Atlético Madrid’s chances of winning the Champions League were slim unless they could reach the final by defeating Arsenal.

I said PSG is very likely to retain the trophy if they can make it to the final. Although I was initially skeptical about my favorite team, I’ve changed my mind. I’m rooting for Arsenal to beat PSG.
I admit that PSG’s defense was excellent in the match against Bayern, but facing Arsenal will be different at the Puskas Arena in Budapest.

[Razmirraz]

Congratulations to Arsenal for getting into the
Snip.

Arsenal must not be afraid, they must be determined and must play as they always do, in important matches they are always there and even in the Champions League final they must be strong and must do their job, clearly Paris Saint German is a great team, but they must not take anything for granted, least of all their opponent

In my opinion, this will be a historic final, PSG mission in this final is to defend their title for two consecutive seasons, while Arsenal is aiming for their first Champions League title. If PSG wins, Luis Enrique will be the most influential figure in their success, but if Arsenal wins, a new history will be created that will be difficult to repeat (undefeated UCL champions).

Arsenal must be extra vigilant as PSG has recorded an extraordinary dominance over Premier League teams in the Champions League since the start of the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 seasons. Luis Enrique's side have an impressive record of defeating Premier League sides, having previously beaten Man City, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Chelsea. Next up is Arsenal who will challenge PSG in the final. Will Arteta be able to break PSG dominance over the EPL teams or will PSG solidify its position as the EPL team killer?

PSG chances of winning backtoback Champions League titles are very strong. I'm also supporting them in the final, although that doesn't mean I'm underestimating Arsenal. Statistically, PSG and Arsenal are the best teams this season in both the league and the Champions League. The difference is that PSG has already secured the Ligue 1 title, while Arsenal is still fighting to maintain its lead.

Hopefully Arsenal won't suffer the same fate as Inter in last season's UCL final. That final was one of the most boring I've ever watched. Arsenal should at least put up a strong fight to make the match exciting.

[allthebitandbobs]

I was expecting a different final, and I thought Bayern would beat PSG at home, but to my surprise, PSG's defense was solid in this match. Neuer also made a lot of good saves, so both goalkeepers deserve praise. Now I think PSG will be the favorite in the final, but I'd like Arsenal to win, and Arteta to finally achieve triumph and recognition, although I'll be honest, I don't believe they'll succeed.

Arsenal's chances of winning against Paris Saint-Germain are quite low, but considering they are Premier League teams and have won many tough matches, they can certainly beat Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, will be on the field with high confidence after beating Bayern Munich in the qualifiers. In my opinion, the two strongest contenders for the Champions League have met in the semi-finals. Arsenal should play better than usual when facing Paris Saint-Germain.

Still three weeks left in the grand finale of the UEFA Champions League 2026, with both teams being well balanced and having good performance. Arsenal's performance was quite good in early matches. In big games they were under pressure, but still they did a good job and had a good fight till the end.

Recent history is also favoring PSG they won the last two games against Arsenal, but now they will be playing with boosted energy and confidence. Arsenal's double chances are suddenly increased, and their fans are also excited after their win against Atletico Madrid.

PSG is having a slow start, but now they are also picking momentum. This is going to be a fierce game between two European titans at Budapest.

[Antotena]

play from them against one of the best clubs in the soccer world: an early goal from Dembele and playing 90 minutes with tight defense - an unforgettable performance from them.

I am also expecting PSG to defend their title because Luis Enrique is a man who can do anything on his day. Now his team is doing an impressive job and beating Bayern Munich in the semifinal, giving them a good chance of staying ahead of their opponents. Good defense, a well-organized attack, and a balanced squad mean Budapest is going to have good soccer to watch with the last game of season.

With everything PSG played Bayern in the first and second leg, I have every reason to doubt What Arsenal are going to do in the Champions League final. I look back to the matches Arsenal has played and check the ones PSG has played, this PSG has never been kind to any team. Look at how they trash Chelsea, they did them the breakfast they have not face this season and I think since then Chelsea performance has never been the same after elimination.

Arsenal matches are always between tin line, look what they played in the semi final with Sporting, that game looks boring and look force when everyone were tearing teams they were literally playing like they weren't even ready that is why as they beat Atletico to reach the final, it's not adding up but it's what it's, if they want it they should claim it from PSG otherwise they might have to allow PSG lift the Champions League 2 times in a row.

Actually, Paris Saint-Germain hasn't mathematically secured their place in the French league yet. But we all know that Paris Saint-Germain will win the French league in the remaining matches. Arsenal's opponent is Manchester City, while Paris Saint-Germain's opponent is Lens. Therefore, we must say that Arsenal is in a more serious race. They will be on the field with a more tired squad and will try to win.

[hyudien]

I was very surprised that the match ended 1-1. Because the first match saw 9 goals, I thought there would be a lot of goals. However, if Kane hadn't scored in extra time, there would have only been one goal in the match. Actually, after Dembele scored in the third minute, I expected there to be more chances, but it turned out to be a match with fewer chances than I expected. Still, there were many clear opportunities. We watched an enjoyable match and I congratulate Paris Saint-Germain on reaching the final.

Honestly, for me personally, this match was too boring, which is somewhat understandable because PSG was already ahead and only focused on defense, while Bayern, on the other hand, seemed to lose motivation, Olise didn't make many of his usual great moves and similarly Luis Diaz, Bayern even made quite a few passing errors, if only PSG hadn't scored first, maybe the match would have been different. Regardless, I congratulate PSG, I think they will win the UCL title again.

Paris Saint-Germain managed to maintain their two-goal lead very well after scoring an early goal. Holding onto this advantage until the end of the match opened the way for them to the final. It was actually a difficult feat, as they put up a great fight against a formidable team like Bayern Munich. And this was an away game. Despite all that, they played exceptionally well.

[Salahmu]

Yeah PSG won through the goal. The match could have been more better if this late goal was at the beginning for Bayern Munich, the way it was scored by Harry Kane you would no how desperate Bayern Munich are, if it was within 80 minutes PSG may have not win this semi finals. PSG coach was very happy the way the match was favouring them until Harry Kane scored and his mood changed because anything that made the game a full-time equal score would have been a red sign for them but however even when the wining was becoming uncertain but PSG is finally with Arsenal.

PSG didn't won through aggregate, they won Bayern Munich and proceed to the Champions League final because of the defeat Bayern Munich suffered in their first leg in France. Yes, the match would have been better and more intriguing if Bayern Munich had levelled up against PSG in the first half, Bayern Munich was desperate in winning PSG at Allianz Arena but they didn't show it in their performance, since PSG defense was so strong for them to break and score goals they would have been shooting outside PSG 18 yard box who knows if they would have been lucky enough to equalize on time.

I no they won Bayern Munich but still it was the goal on this last match that still determines the first wining to the finals because without this goal Bayern Munich could have been the club that won the second match but since the both team scores the same is right to use the goal and said PSG made it through it and the same goes to the first wining you concluding from, so actually our thoughts about it are not different but from how you center it in one outcome was the confusion because they depended on the wining and the draw. PSG is becoming a certain team to always been expected in champions league knockout to the finals.

[bastisisca]

I didn't see anyone talking about Kvaratskhelia: his performances during the whole Champions League have been insane. Right now he is by far the best offensive wing in the world together with Yamal and Olise. The sad thing is that probably he has no chances for winning the Golden Ball because there is the World Cup, and Georgia didn't qualify, and we all know that whoever wins the WC will probably win the Golden Ball too.

I no longer see the Ballon d'Or as a prize given to the best, i see it as a sort of advertising for the team that has done well.
It's wrong, but this is the true meaning of the Golden Ball at the moment, absolute sadness.
In any case, yes, you're right, he's very good and he has what it takes, you can see it.

The Stage is set between PSG And Arsenal and odds are high for Arsenal accidentally.    :DIdk why Arsent fan are so confident they will win the Ucl against the current champions Psg which dominated and humiliated Premier this season and last season as well They beat Chelsea in the R16 they beat Liverpool in the quater finals and now Bayern any Top team they Face psg they are crash and now Arsenal Fan are hoping win the Ucl against PSG HuH .Yeah This season They beat Psg in the Group stages But last season they knocked out Arsenal in the Semi-finals did you remember.

Psg sometime struggle against Defencive Team and that's the hope for Arsenal Fan they are little confident on has Corner Tactic HAHA . Chelsea beat Psg in the Club world Final so Arsenal are dreaming from the Rival side They can beat Psg but anything can happen nobody know how Arteta can play the final if you are in the UCL final Anything Can happen.

Ok now this time you were way off and while I didn't believe it would be over 3.5 goals, I never thought Bayern would be playing as bad as they did. Olise was a total disaster. Kimmich a disaster. the whole defense a disaster. The referee of course a disaster, but I think when Bayern play their best they should have been able to go to the final despite those bad referee decisions.

Only two players I liked yesterday were Diaz, who was nonstop trying and you could see in his body language he never gave up and wanted to sort it out on his own terms when he realized almost everyone else sucks on that day. Kane of course because he is the striker you need as you could see in minute 94, but when he doesn't get any assists and you see them start dribbling on his own to get something done, you know the team as a whole is not in shape, not prepared.

Yup, way off!
I lost every single bet on the semi-finals, parlay of 3, single bet, no matter what, I didn't get one result right! Nothing!

But yeah, Bayern was disappointing, this was not the team it used to be, but I guess this is how it happens, one time you play it wrong and it's the time when it really mattered. Was it worth it now to get that win and that equalizer in the Bundesliga?
I really didn't want to see them go down this way but, well, it is what it is!

Now I believe in PSG to win a back-to-back title against Arsenal in the finale. They just never get tired and this huge effort deserves a trophy.

Bayern really did disappoint me; for the first time, I wanted to see Bayern vs. Arsenal and they spoiled the fun. I'm sure this Bayern would not beat Arsenal in the final, but PSG is quite a different story. As we saw last night, I was expecting a PSG that would attack in the second half, as I thought they couldn't just stay in defense and wait—but that is exactly what they did, and they were superb at it. I was not expecting such a superb defensive contribution from them, leaving Bayern with only a handful of chances on their home ground. Praise to them and congrats; you deserve to be in the finals and are definitely the favorites to win. But it’s one game, and my Arsenal will definitely give it their all and try to write their own stars in Budapest.

I saw a handball committed by a PSG defender, but the referee didn’t blow the whistle to signal a foul; instead, he let play continue. That was when Vitinha was about to kick the ball out of the penalty box, and his shot accidentally hit the hand of a teammate who was still inside the penalty box, causing the ball to deflect.

Is that really how the handball rule works? And was the referee’s decision not to call it a foul in accordance with rules?

Different referees in two matches made different decisions as I think the situation the second match is more easily awarded as a penalty. Bayern Munich can feel unfair about that especially football nowadays has support from VAR team and not like many years ago with only referee and some assistants on the field. Skip that situation, in this match generally Bayern Munich did not play well and if Manuel Neur did not make many great saves for Bayern Munich, they would lose this match at their home stadium even as a big defeat.

The 1 - 1 draw result does not make Bayern Munich like playing equally with PSG in this match, in fact they played worse than PSG a lot and didn't deserve to play the final match.

Regardless, I congratulate PSG, I think they will win the UCL title again.

That's right, I think when you compare this game with the first leg then I agree that it's way too boring, not just because of the goals but the way they attack each other. They played the first leg as if they have been meaning to face off, as if they have a score to settle and that was the fun part of the game that's why a lot of fans where disappointed yesterday.
Bayern Munich expected a similar game, they thought it will be all about attacking again but PSG had s different thing in mind, they knew  they are at disadvantage if they lock horns again so they came with a defensive plan just to survive the round which they did and it took Bayern by surprise because they never expected that.

You're right If Bayern scored first we could have seen an entirely different game. I still think they need to be appreciated for giving us a beautiful game.

In my opinion, it was a penalty. The ball hit his hand, and the player visibly extended his hand. Therefore, I think a penalty should have been awarded. I was very surprised that it wasn't given. Perhaps if Bayern had won that penalty, the outcome could have been different. Maybe it was the most important moment of the match.

The referee may interpret situations like this as unintentional handball if he sees that the player did not deliberately try to play the ball. But in this case, even though Neves tried to turn away and pull his hand back, he still handled the ball inside the penalty area, and in my opinion that should have been a penalty. Let that stay on the referee’s conscience.

I think Bayern should have scored from open play much earlier so they would not have had to depend on the referee’s decisions in controversial moments like this one. Before the match, considering that Bayern’s defense is far from perfect, I expected PSG to score. And both teams to score also looked like a very likely outcome. But once again, the odds were too low, so there was not much point in betting on it.

Enrique has now taken PSG to the Champions League final for the second time in a row, and I think that is already a major achievement. And if he manages to win the final as well, it will look like some kind of miracle. I still believed Bayern were strong enough to eliminate PSG. I had high expectations for their attack, but in the end their defense let them down in the first match, while in the second match it was their attack that failed them.

Bayern Munich think the decision on the penalty was unfair, it was a clear hand ball by PSG players, but we don’t understand why the referee didn’t award the penalty, it would have been an opportunity to make a comeback since the incident was in the first half. I believe if it was another team like Barcelona, they would award the penalty, Bayern Munich would feel they have been robbed from a chance to equalise the goal right from the start of the game.

In addition, I’m still surprised by the result of the game, because I keep on wondering if that was the same Bayern Munich that played the first leg and scored four goals. Their performance looks very terrible at am, in fact, since the start of the season, I’ve never seen them play like that before. Throughout the match at home, they only managed to score in the 90 minute.
