UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Hoping to see much better from Liverpool in the competition next season. Slot has gone so we should be playing much faster, higher tempo football. I was getting so sick of his slow paced football. We didn’t really lay a glove on PSG in the 1/4 final. It’s acceptable to get knocked our by a great team but unacceptable to go out without throwing punches. We will be there……

Currently, with the form that PSG has now, I doubt if another team will be able to muscle them out next season. Bayern Munich, whom I hoped would win this season, was being thrashed home and away by the same PSG.

I'm still wondering how Mbappé, Neymar, and Messi all left PSG and everything seemed to turn around for the club, especially for Mbappé. He waited and did everything he could to get this trophy 🏆 for PSG, but all efforts failed, and just the two seasons he's not there, they have broken records and become back-to-back champions.

[Donneski]

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.

Where did you get the report that Kylian Mbappe will be leaving Real Madrid this summer? For a club that's won the competition almost twice more than any other club and having the current quality of players in the team, now under a manager that's won the competition twice, it's disrespectful to not include the Los Blancos as a strong contender for the UEFA Champions League trophy next season. Manchester City with Enzo Maresca I also think will be a team to beat in the competition next season.

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.

I don't think that was what happened, many football fans didn't support Arsenal to win the Champions League, it was the Premier League which they were okay with Arsenal winning the league, because Manchester City has won it several times, instead let the trophy go to Arsenal.

Arsenal has lots of haters over supporters during the Champions League, majority of footballs stood by PSG to win it for the second time, only who knows how Arsenal would have retaliated if they had won both Premier League and Champions League.

Are you sure you're not expecting too much already from Liverpool under a manager that's not managed a a game in the UEFA Champions League competition before? Andoni Iraola of a truth plays the sort of football you are describing but he's very inexperienced when it comes to managing a UCL team so he's most likely going to be nervous in his first campaign. That said, there's every possibility that he'll kick the ground running immediately but that I don't think is enough to consider Liverpool a major contender for the UCL trophy next season.

PSG may need to reconsider the salary structure, it is true that they have won a lot with this lot, but they are looking to get even more, and they are going to pay bunch of players more to extend as well, so it is not going to be that complicated to realize that they are going to pay insane amount of money for all of this.

Just getting new players plus paying their already existing players more would cause too much money to begin with, and I am not sure if that is going to be easy at all.

Since all the blame were to going to slot now let's see what there problem is actually is because slot relaxed too much and he felt since he won the premier League they won't sack him I was not expecting it but Liverpool performed poorly that think the management wants something even better for them, they saw how the competition went so they will want to even, and psg have won the champions league two consecutive times now, and this is something a lot of clubs are even dreaming to win even one but next season a different game will play out.

Many teams will be building stronger squads to compete against Paris Saint-Germain next season. I think the competition will be even better next year. I particularly believe Real Madrid and Barcelona will reach a different level. I also think Premier League teams will be in the running. However, Paris Saint-Germain has a very strong squad and they could get even stronger with some transfers this summer.

I hope too....
In previous 2025/26 UEFA champions league competition Liverpool didn't even make any good progress like initially everyone were expecting a better results from Liverpool team because they spend some decent amount of money and brought too may great stars but unfortunately at teg end they were too bad as compared to others. PSG knocked out Puch was okay because they have strong team but categorically their performance was too bad. This all blam goes to Aron Slot....

Besides that now they swapped their coach and definitely it will bring up some good moments to the team. Squad depth is already too good like their only need was coach and now they brought new coaches. So maybe it could turn on their way.

[ZAINmalik75]

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 but I don’t believe or think they will lift the champions league title next season.

Well I think it's obvious and should not be shocking for us, as thier combination as well as formation were well shaped also momentum are with them so it's not Gona be a big deal for them, as currently both Spanish side were suffering and failed to catch green results at European competition. Morever premier league has make few changes in term of manger so definitely thier will be strong tussle form them toward psg at next season but I don't consider anyone currently as a stronge obstacle for them at UCL . Anyway they have golden opportunity next season to match real Madrid three consecutive UCL at a row and I am positive for them to being a champions next year too.

@babo
New year, new thread! I like this way of organising discussions by season rather than creating massive threads where people just spam the place.
In any case, congratulations to Paris Saint-Germain for defending their title and winning the Champions League once again. After so many years of investment, they’re finally reaping the rewards

Liverpool last season was one of teams that dashed our hopes on the rock the most, from their spendings and big name signings we thought they would have an incredible season since the season before they ended on a fly, winning the league long before the season was over, the added players were supposed to make the team almost invincible but reverse was what we got. So much disappointing after spending huge in the transfer window, I hope they get better this season we are about to enter so with their new coach.

Although is not about were he got the information but is something many people has been talking about but however the certainty people have made it is what I don't no because the information is a speculation and real Madrid will not do as people are thinking about them regarding Mbappe so actually they would be surprised to see that the champions League would come and Mbappe is still there for real Madrid. I was thinking Manchester City would be more champions league form but the Enzo Maresca they have signed is not really making me believe there will be an exceptional performance on real Madrid.

It is undoubtedly true that many teams will build a stronger squad to compete against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League next season because in my opinion they will want to beat PSG, but this team has reached a unique height in the Champions League because they have a record of winning two trophies in a row. You are right that Real Madrid and Barcelona will reach a different level next season, but Real Madrid is perhaps more attractive to everyone because we have noticed that this team has once again re-signed their legendary manager Jose Mourinho for a three-year contract with this team. Also Barcelona are trying to be a more mature team next season after losing to ATM in the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, which is why they have already started to add players because they have already brought in a winger from Newcastle.

Psg don't need any players the team is well balanced and Young Team which can play 3 more good season as well . Averge player age at psg squad are 23 the youngest squad after Barcelona they are ahead of this list with 21 age . I think psg don't need any player to sign they can just extend the contract of the player and make them happy that's will give them one more champions league. Easily Huh if lucho want to make some changes so Alvaraz is the perfect one and they can strengthen their attack

I am really anticipating to see the punches your team will throw in the new season of the champions league competition. Slot was not that bad of a manager but since the result required from him was not achieved, one can only say that removing him and replacing him with another manager is not a bad idea. The new manager will have an impact on them and to also know how far they’ll come in the champions league next season.

Well, it’s not always about one player mostly when the player is seen as a world class yet he’s not getting anything. Mpabbe left PSG and now the club is doing great to an extend winning the champions league trophy but, doesn’t mean he never tried his best for the club, just one player can’t change everything rather a team work is needed, for example Mpabbe going to Real Madrid had everyone attention thinking he’ll win the league yet nothing happened, it’s never about a player rather team work.
PSG can be defeated, like I said PSG got many hype during the finals yet they could not play perfectly against Arsenal defense team, PSG won as a result of Arteta mistake because only a single strategy can’t get the work done otherwise Arsenal would’ve defeated PSG.

Liverpool really falled flawless defeat to PSG when they met in the Champions League but it is understandable because they were not the only team that got destroyed by PSG. Chelsea suffered worst experience when they met PSG but it's amazing how most of their fans were bashing Arsenal who was unbeaten in the Champions League games.

Liverpool will transform next season with their new coach, the most important thing is their qualification because they almost dropped out of the Champions league if not that they won their last match of the season. Liverpool already has the players to explore with next season, they might need additional signings too in order to help them become formidable enough. Hope they won't repeat the mistakes they made last season where they had a good start and couldn't continue in the long run.

I don't think so. We seen PSG always be active in the tranfers market, and it's possible they already have a list of Players they'll bring in this time. Indeed, their main players are certainly Young and possess considerable quality.

But every team always makes improvements every season, Even if the recruitment is for reserve players or cover for key players in the event of injury or other circumstances. But for PSG, perhaps, as You said, They already very strong with their existing squad. They don't need many changes, But they do need to make a few to maintain team stability in the event of a key player injury.

I would hope that Liverpool can dig themselves out of that hole, but it is going to be a tough way. Changing the coach was a first important step, but they will have some changes within the team, too. Salah is leaving and while he wasn't contributing as much anymore this season, it is still a big change for the team as a whole.

Liverpool will need some momentum in the early season, a bad start would be a huge setback for them. Expectations are high, but especially in the Champions League PSG is the team with real momentum. They won't have to deal with big changes and their oldest player is Fabián Ruiz at age 30. This team can keep growing and developing for years to come and they have the money to add whatever player they think is needed.

In my opinion PSG will be the one team that sets the bar for the next several years.
