UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

[satscraper]

Ousmane Dembele said they are going for the 3rd one next season, I know that PSG are the best team in the world right now

 PSG didn’t manage to score while playing with Arsenal.  ^{I don’t really consider that penalty goal from Dembele as a feather in PSG’s cap. It was more the result of Arsenal’s slapdash than a tribute to the skill of Dembele or PSG as a whole}. So PSG doesnt deserve this title . It should have been in Bayern’s hands rather than PSG’s and in my view Dembelé's hope of getting it in the 2026/27 season is nothing more than a night‑dream.

PSG winning back to back really is very sad for the sport in my opinion. Yet another proof that when you have enough money put inside your project, obviously violation financial fairplay rules by circumventing existing guideline, there will be a reward. Just another dirty win from a dirt project in my opinion.
Despite not being a fan of English football I rooted so much for Arsenal getting the trophy, yet to no avail. 

We all wanted Arsenal to win but unfortunately they could not and there is nothing anyone of us can really do about it. PSG was able to play their cards well to the point of reaching the finals and eventually lifting to trophy up. If arsenal was able to do the same, I would have been the most excited person but they could not and all I will say is we go harder next season and this is how a formidable team is determined. I was not so sad and disappointed as I thought I would if Arsenal lost and the reason is because I know Arsenal is already walking towards their journey to greatness and this isn’t a failure but a stepping stone for them to win the next tournament and become more fearful and famous.

PSG is really very lucky and indeed if no Arsenal player made a mistake then there would be no penalty kick and Arsenal would be the champion and PSG would be the 2nd champion. but PSG is really lucky because during the penalty shootout he was able to play well and in normal time he did not give up in my opinion PSG can still be said to be worthy of being the champion because if Arsenal is great then they should be able to win on penalties. but for next season I also have some doubts that PSG will be the champion of the Champions League again but of course it does not rule out the possibility that PSG will be the champion again because PSG has great players and a good coach.

[Agbamoni]

With the steady progress that Arsenal as a team has shown and how we have progressed from a mid position on the Premier League table to win the Premier League and then from not being able to qualify for the finals of the Champions League to playing in the finals of the Champions League, it is still very possible that we will still go on next season to win it because there will now be hunger and desire in the boys, and what the team just needs to do is to invest in having better attacking players to balance up with the defense, and then maybe our coach learns from his errors in this season and becomes better next season. I will still put Arsenal as a title contender next season.

Spot on, mate!. Arsenal is in a good position right now. They have the influence and the financial power to attract a world class start player into their team. The defense is structured perfectly. The midfield is 80% done, just some few addition to make it complete. Whats stopping the Arsenal team is the attack. This summer the priroity is to buy world class attacker. The money is there, so it wont be a problem for the Arsenal. It will be wrong not to include in the conversation for next UCL seaosn.

what is bring Bayern into this discussion considering that they could not even make it to the finals of the champions league? call it a cheap penalty or not, it does not take out the fact that it still counts i determining who will emerge the winner of the champions league and if other teams are relax and allows psg gets to the final again, even if it is still going to happen through a penalty shoot out, they will still do it and get to win the champions league again.

Before the penalty, Dembele was incredible and scoring the penalty even adds to it. for a team as PSG, there is nothing like a relaxing for them because they are already showing that they are a team that can still do it again and again and again. pep is even out of the way and so the likes of Manchester city is not a serious threat. they can still do it again.

We know  that the penalty was the saving grace for PSG but they did played so well so it was possible if they had not gotten that penalty, they would have looked for a way to get a goal knowing  they are already down by a goal. They would have played differently but maybe  because  they got the game balanced already, they just wanted to protect their own goal as much as Arsenal were doing.

The next season will be very promising for PSG because I believe they already upgraded themselves very well in this season. In early months of this season, Enrique tried to test his new tactical ideas for PSG operations, and the club did not get too good performances and results but months later, we already witness how strong and dangerous a new PSG version is.

In fact, if we look at the last 2 seasons, PSG has always failed to qualify directly for the round of 16 and had to go through the knockout stage first, but who would have thought that it was like deceiving many people and doubting PSG, I think Enrique deliberately played average tactics at the beginning of the season so that the stamina of their important players was not too tired and towards the end of the season Enrique played real tactics to be able to catch up when some clubs started to lose focus and PSG looked very strong towards the end, in my opinion it was a clever strategy.

An impressive season for Paris Saint-Germain, they continue their positive trend in both local & European competition. As for next season, somehow I think we're still too early for that. But let's speculate a bit, Paris Saint-Germain has already won it twice in a row, I don't think they will win it again next season. I think it will be a team from La Liga.

You say mysterious things   You must be a Barcelona fan, right? It seems to me that Real Madrid fans are not shy about showing their aspirations   In general, I agree that it should be a team from La Liga - Real hasn't lifted the cup for too long, and if we're talking about Mourinho, then even more so. English clubs are boring because they're swimming in money, PSG is an oil-fueled shambles, and the only respectable opponent is probably Bayern. A classic Spanish final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid would also be good, though.

Football is no longer the innocent sport it once was. Money plays a huge role in football, and it's the only thing that can elevate a team's level. We see this. So, however much we complain, nothing will change. We'll have to get used to the new football culture. We'll be talking more about the success of wealthy teams. Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have been the biggest examples of this in recent years.

Honestly, the penalty really helped PSG out of the oppression they faced from Arsenal, if not for that penalty opportunity, maybe they would have ended up being defeated, well, despite that, the match still keep getting more to far till after the full time and both extract time elapsed, everything that comes around PSG winning was only by law because Arsenal really don't give them any chance of penetration because of their kind of defensive formation.

Interesting speculation but remember that in football anything can happen besides psg has proven to be the best club in the world at the moment, It won't be an over expectation to say they would win next season because they have the blue print to do so. Winning three times in a row is possible and about the next champions coming from the la Liga that's possible but we cannot be good too sure of that. The teams from the Spanish league haven't been impressive this season and my main focus on this is real Madrid, they really went backwards.

As for me, I did not see PSG as lucky for winning the Champions League. They played very well, and looking at their statistics, it is very clear that PSG were the favorite team to win the Champions League. They were the team in control of the ball, led in ball possession, and also created more goal scoring chances, both on target and off target.therefore, I feel they are the team that deserved to win the Champions League, and they eventually won it. I know that penalty kicks are often considered a matter of luck, but we should not say that PSG won the Champions League because of luck. They really worked hard for it and earned it at the end of the competition.

If it had been Arsenal that won the Champions League, then I might say they were very lucky to win because their game was mostly about defending, and they did not show much attacking threat. In my opinion, teams that create fewer chances and spend most of the game defending are the ones that can be considered lucky when they end up winning.

PSG experience winning the previous years championships league title gave them the advantage. Even when they were down by one goal against Arsenal in the first half they pressed until the succeeded in getting a penalty in the second half. It was so unfortunate Arsenal couldn't hold on to their lead or even extend it. I don't know if Arteta will get this close again this coming season because things will be much different from last season as there is currently shuffling of coaches amongst top contenders. I just hope the journey of greatness works perfectly well for Arsenal this season.

[adultcrypto]

Next season is far but we can already picture the teams that will be major contenders for the trophy and among them I think PSG, Arsenal, Bayern Munic and Barcelona will be there. I would have added Real Madrid and Manchester City but the exit of Kylan Mbappe (expected to happen) and Pep Guardiola from Real Madrid and Manchester City respectively, will definitely be a major deciding factor. No one know if those two events will impact the clubs positively or negatively. If I should pick a team to win it next season, it should still be around Arsenal, PSG or Bayern Munic unless another team like Manchester United will surprise all of us.

A lot of football fans rooted for arsenal to win the champions league not because they are fans of arsenal but everyone saw how dedicated arsenal have been this season and it's so sad that were close to winning and ended up losing, that's quite unfortunate. For psg to win twice in a row makes it seem like they are the strongest club but that's not really true because they had a tough time winning as arsenal.

City is a dubious example because for some reason many other rich clubs operate without committing more than a hundred violations, but City does not. Plus, City won one Champions League in 15 years, while PSG managed to win two in a row. I'd question the effectiveness of the money spent on City. Even among oil clubs, City finished second in success, haha.
Otherwise, the top clubs from Spain + Bayern + PSG are not inferior financially to English clubs.

Arsenal may not perform as they did this season Bayern munich, Paris saint Germain and Real madrid will be a major contender for the title next season, Man united performance under micheal carrick has been great if they use same energy next they surprise people, i also read were Dembele says that they are coming for the title again next season to make 3 times in a row but i don't think this can be possible again.

[M47AK16]

I think it makes sense for Dembele to say they want to win their third Champions League title next season,, because this season they have proven they can be champions. Furthermore, I think PSG's victory in this season's Champions League is clearly not due to luck alone. If you watch this match,, I think you can clearly see that PSG's performance in this final is truly impressive. Therefore,, I think PSG's victory in this match is clearly not due to luck alone, but because their performance is indeed good. Because if PSG's performance was bad in this final, they would definitely have lost to Arsenal before the second half ended.

But the proof is that PSG was able to play well and also defend against attacks carried out by Arsenal. So that proves that PSG's performance in this season's Champions League is indeed very good. So, it is not wrong if Dembele is confident that next season they can be champions again. But next season, the Champions League competition will certainly be even tougher for PSG. Teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid will clearly not allow PSG to continue winning the Champions League trophy. Therefore, I believe PSG will definitely face more worthy opponents next season in the Champions League.

Of course every player will say that they are going to win, it is not really reasonable for any player to come out and say "I do not think that we are going to win it again" of course they are going to win or at least think they are going to win. Asking players what they will do, they will always say that they are going to win. One thing you need to be careful about however is that it is not an easy task to win it over and over again. Real once did that three in a row a few years back, so PSG will try to replicate that, but it is not going to be easy at all.

For psg to win twice in a row makes it seem like they are the strongest club but that's not really true because they had a tough time winning as arsenal.

Arsenal should have won the title. They were the favourites to win the Champions League last season after trying for the last few seasons, and they even had a good enough performance to win the Champions League, but in the end they failed to win the Champions League title. Still, I think they played well in the Champions League all season and they played great in the final, but they did not succeed. They can start preparing again for the upcoming season.

PSG have been successful in the Champions League for the last two seasons because they started saving energy instead of spending it at the beginning of the season. In the last two seasons, they were simple at the beginning, but as the season went on, PSG became a stronger team. The same thing happened this season, they saved energy at the beginning, then used it to secure the title.
