UEFA Champions League 2026/27 Season

[el kaka22]

Spain and France, looking different than their clubs is important. Spain does play very well under La Fuenta, and I honestly believe that if Real Madrid has bad year, even after this many transfers then they will definitely fire Mourinho very early on. And for that reason, since world cup would also be over, there is a good chance that La Fuenta may go to Real Madrid for a lot of money.

I mean if he wins the world cup as well? Then he has nothing left to win as a national head coach, and at Real Madrid he could show himself to be better and fix things. In that case, maybe they could beat PSG, but right now? With Hansi Flick and Mourinho? There is no way that they would be able to actually beat PSG, there is no way.

You're right, PSG has been on top of their game for sometimes now and I'm not thinking they are backing off soon,  they're indeed proven beyond reasonable doubt to be outstanding in recent years. Though some other great team that was earlier mentioned above are not that comfortable with their (PSG) presents state of being ahead but that doesn't change anything, if they aren't comfortable enough then they can challenge it through their actions in this next season. However, PSG is among one of my favorites in champions league and the amazing thing about them is that they rarely disappoint, they mostly deliver when having them on your bet.

Paris Saint-Germain will surely continue to do well and will try to win again, even if this year you could already perceive a decline in them, even if many didn't see it, this decline was there and it was very clear, but they must not give up and this thing must start first and foremost from a coach who is able to motivate them.

You are right Paris Saint Germain reduced form after the first champions league before last season's own and that last season even when it was looking like they will still win I have the feeling they will not because the form has dropped a lot yet they still won and I will say it is because of the experience and the spirit of the previous one that was driving them, when you have had something recently or before getting that same thing won't be that hard unless there is a change in the system which there was not ..

Chelsea did a bit like Munchester United, they lost their way but not completely, they made some surprising changes in the middle of the season where the results were there anyway, this constant change of coaches automatically leads to confusion in the team which has to understand every time from the beginning what the wishes of the new manager are.

Not completely? Until Chelsea get relegated before we agreed they did bad last season?

We can not compare Chelsea last season with Manchester United last. Manchester United made their way to top from being in the mid table and qualified for UCL but Chelsea on the other hand drop down from top to finish in the mid table.

Regular change of coach is surely among things that affect Chelsea's performance but I don't expect any club to keep a coach who's doing bad either.

I would guess the year before? Chelsea did not do as badly as United did previous season, but while United did aright this season, they did very badly previous season, finished like 15th or something.

So in theory, Chelsea did get close to that, and that gives the impression to people that, if United can move from being 15th to being 3rd in a single season, then Chelsea should be able to do that as well. However, we are not seeing them getting any better neither, their squad is pretty much the same.

La Fuenta is really a long time in the Spanish National team and he was all youth teams of Spain and now the main team and i doubt he will leave in a long time,i think he dosent need additional presure and him in Spain is just perfect so i dont think he will ever leave Spain until they sack him or he wants to retire. Mourinho needs to win a trophy in his first season no matter what happens,thats the only way he can keep his job. I doubt he will be able to beat PSG that is just incredible in last couple of seasons.

[coinlary]

You meant the Joao Neves and Vitinha as Portuguese players who are key players in PSG midfield. Dembele is a main player in PSG while Barcola is only a substitution and similar to Doue but Doue was used more regularly and with more times than Barcola. PSG not only have good player resource but also has a very good coach he knew how to build up a good team, and choose players for matches not only because of player reputation.

Dont forget Nuno Mendes at the defense side aswell. Depending on the formation but Dembele is usually the main attacker while Kivara is always on the left wing, Dembele can also play on right while Barcola and Doue in mid as forwards.

With this squad and the coach Enrique, PSG will be very strong next seasons but to win other Champions League titles, they need luck too.

They still need an attacker. Enrique doesn't like Barcola finishing, it's one of the main reason they Want to get Ferran Torres  from Barcelona but I don't think he's that reliable either.
With or without  him , PSG still has a strong squad.

Luis de la Fuentes have been competent for the managerial role he carried out for Spain and we know how far he has gone, this is manager that's extremely doing everything with his players to ensure he's grabbing every horn and pulling them for winning. Spain winning the world cup will be the best thing that will happen to them in the past decades because they're elite side that have all the necessary players needed to dominate and win games.

[Antotena]

Next season will likely be even more challenging for other teams facing PSG, and I'm confident that PSG will still be a title contender, although conditions may not be as easy as last season. Several teams that regularly qualify for the Champions League are also looking for new players to strengthen their capabilities in both the domestic league and the Champions League. So, PSG will also need to improve on last season if they want to reach the Champions League final again.

There is no way PSG will be able to win Champions League the their time, it's not like other teams came to have it the easy way, the way PSG won it that's how other team want to win it as well and now the odd has even increased how things change across different clubs. It's a tradition that top teams from other leagues will make it to the round of 16 but some tough strong head teams will be their to push other teams to the wall, some to reach the final with their strong head.

There is something about some teams that you have to respect, I remember how Arsenal change the Champions League last season. I don't expected them to have that journey in a smooth way, they almost win the Champions League but one mistake from saka made them lost the match, there is another team getting prepared ahead of next season that will repeat this kind of game again but we will not see them coming now until that time of the season again.

You are right Paris Saint Germain reduced form after the first champions league before last season's own and that last season even when it was looking like they will still win I have the feeling they will not because the form has dropped a lot yet they still won and I will say it is because of the experience and the spirit of the previous one that was driving them, when you have had something recently or before getting that same thing won't be that hard unless there is a change in the system which there was not ..

PSG did not perform well this past season, and they will need to do better if they want to win, because I see them bragging about winning it for the third time, and if not, Arsenal was not that serious they would have been defeated by PSG, and if not for that penalty, they would have found it very difficult to score against Arsenal because of their defense helped them if not, they would have won.

And from what I see, PSG won't win it for now for the third time because I see a lot of work, and even Jose wants to work on Real Madrid a lot and not just them, like almost every other club, so it's going to be a clash of titans, and when it happens, then PSG should come out and come and talk because we did not even expect PSG to have been able to win, but since they eventually win, next season will be tougher.

I didn't really notice the reduction in performance from PSG last season they performed just right to me, as a matter of fact the teams last season where very strong as well, and it brought about more competition in the league than that of the season before last one. So I do feel they performed very impressive last Season as well and I did expect them to win the league.

PSG, performance was great last season, and even before the final many were scared because we all know how strong PSG is. And we know what they can do to see that everything went well for them,  if they didn't performed well, I don't think they can get the title because we all know how good Arsenal performance was that last season, and how they played from the beginning till ending of the season its was really good, but the luck to win the champions league wasn't by their side last season.

He will have to try and see then. The Real Madrid team can only attain bigger height if they’re able to defeat PSG next season. As the defending champions of the champions league, it calls for a lot of work and preparation on Mourinho’s end to make Real Madrid better than PSG. Winning a trophy won’t be easy for Mourinho next season. He’ll be fighting for the champions league trophy with Luis Enrique of PSG and also fight for the La Liga trophy against Hansi Flick of Barcelona. He has a lot of work to do next season, I just hope he’s able to deliver well and not face another sack in the club after a short time with them.

It depends on the manager. A good manager understands what the abilities and wishes of the team are. There are good examples for coaches who very well understand how to get the best out of their team. See Mikel Arteta, he knows what his team can do and what it can't do and he got the best out of his team. At no point early last season would anyone have said that the Arsenal team is the one ending up winning the Champions League and the Premier League.

Then you have other coaches that sign no matter what players a team has and they bring with them their own idea of football. Now if you don't have the players to execute a special idea of how to play football, it will fail. Guardiola would never sign a contract with a team that is defensive and can only hope for counter attacks, but he knows that upfront, does his research on the players and then decides whether he can implement his very own idea of football with the players at hand or whether only a few changes are needed (transfers) and then it is possible.

Enrique would not be able to play the same with PSG as he played with Barcelona and vice versa and that is what a good coach is about in my opinion.

Arsenal did not win the Champions League. They won the league, yeah, absolutely, 22 years. However, PSG got the better in the final. It went to penalties after a draw and that was that. Which if anything makes what Enrique did even more impressive. He was given a club that was primarily Mbape with some cash. Mbappe came out and he did something with the rest of it. Together. Collectively. And then beat the best team in England in the biggest game.

But I am always thinking about Guardiola. The story goes that he has this one system that he thrusts everywhere. But, it is not exactly what happened, is it? He adapted the fullbacks to Bayern's style of play. He changed his whole attacking setup when he got a big physical striker.

And this season was Carrick's at United. Genuinely. Guy walks, after a year of looking at what Amorim had been trying to install for a year, scraps it and plays players in their natural holes. And United go on a run and finish third.

Honestly, PSG two seasons ago were better than the PSG of last season, although in their last season, they played more with experience which was why they did not win matches with wide margins but were managing their matches carefully while looking at the trophies they aim to achieve. So yes, there was a reduction in performance but it was not to the point of renting them any trophy. They have to make serious improvements this season if they aim to retain the trophies they won.

[Adiljutt156]

Universitatea Craiova entered the match with the confidence gained from winning the first leg 4-1 against their opponent and, as the favorite at home, secured a 1-0 victory, advancing to the next round with an aggregate score of 5-1.
Similarly, Kairat had defeated their opponent 2-1 at home and entered this match with at least a slight advantage. As the favorites, they also won 2-0, advancing to the next round with an aggregate score of 4-1.

We are watching first Qualifying round of UEFA Champions League and Kairat football team played match against Sutjeska Nikšić football team and match was one sided because one team did 2 goals in this match and opponent team could not do any goal in this match . Bekbolat was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 68 minutes And before that no player could do any goal in this match. Jorginho was a person who did second goal of the match and he did this goal at 82 minutes and that goal was at penalty. Jorginho was a person who gave good rhythm to his team and he gave good one sided match to his team because that goal was required to make match one sided. The aggregate of both teams was also one sided because Kairat team score was 4 in this match and opponent team score was only 1 in this match.

That is how some clubs used too perform when they have overstress there self in wining many trophies last two seasons wining the champions league back to back you no he won’t be such easy for the players and that is why you see some changes in the club. But they have a good coach in the team and that is the reason they are still doing better and be getting the opportunity to win the league competition with all struggle they always achieve victory at ends. Next season will be a different moment for the team and I don’t think they can win the ucl next season again they will surly stop them.

So I do feel they performed very impressive last Season as well and I did expect them to win the league.

In the champions league, it didn’t really look like they were going for the trophy until later. I think things started kicking in for them right from the moment the trophy was in sight.
In the lique 1, PSG was certainly not at their best, they dropped from being top of the table a couple of times and lost few games, underperformed in several games but, it wasn’t enough to keep them away from winning both though.

Nobody can tell if this will happen or not. What if PSG is up against any other team in the quarterfinals and loses? It is irrelevant for any team in the UCL what any other specific team does. You have to beat whoever you are up against. Now it makes some sense to think that PSG could be one of the finalists, but given how close it was in some of the matches for PSG, nobody can predict whether PSG will make it there again. They have good chances, no doubt about that. Real Madrid should focus on themselves and that is all that counts. Improve their own game, be consistent and finally be feared again. Real Madrid was a huge name for many years and they are still of course, but they don't spread this feeling anymore that they can't be beaten or are almost impossible to beat.

Paris Saint Germain drops in performance do exist and it is easily noticeable by those who are watching closely Ligue 1.
PSG are counting less on individual players after the departure of Kylian Mbappe, yet some key players like Dembele and Hakimi, among others, injuries or reduced performance do impact the team results.
Overall PSG as a rich team with a lot of good players have better chance to win Ligue 1 title each time. Their victory in UEFA Champions League is the real objective factor that confirms that their victory is not coming from the power of money alone.

Talking about losing form, I won't say PSG lost form last season  because the competitiveness the encounter last season cannot be compared to the one they experienced season before last they first won the champions league in a dramatic form.
As for consistency and stability last season i can never write them off because they faced almost all the champions league strongest teams before getting to the final with Arsenal and even arsenal was not a weak team last season as well.  All i can say is almost all teams in the champions league last season where very tough and ready to make a difference that was while people think PSG where weak last season

Drop in performance after injuries to key players is perfectly normal and happens to all teams. PSG have good players in abundance though just like you said because Dembele played very few matches in the Ligue 1 last season but PSG still ended up winning the league even though Lens was close to them up until the last 2-3 matches till their season ended.

Going to be an interesting champions league because most teams are very busy in the transfer window this season like Arsenal, Madrid, etc.
