No, I don't agree with that. Arsenal fans cannot claim that Paris Saint-Germain won in the Champions League by luck, because PSG played a far superior and higher-quality game. Arsenal took an early lead but couldn't hold on. In my opinion, PSG was the side that truly deserved the title after 120 minutes they secured a well-deserved victory via the penalty shootout.

We agree on this, because while Arsenal is a strong team and even played well in the final, Paris Saint-Germain is no different, especially because they knocked out a truly fierce Bayern Munich side, who were determined to continue, and Arsenal managed to beat them at home. Despite beating them and having some difficulties, they managed to reach the final and play a noteworthy final.

Last year is behind us now, and we need to look ahead. Bayern Munich and Barcelona will return much stronger this season they are aiming to make up for the points dropped in France by performing well in the Champions League. They have made an excellent start to the competition, though I do not know how long this run will last or if it will prove sustainable. The exciting rhythm of the Champions League is about to kick in soon. I really love Champions League weeks.

Why will someone in his right state of mind think that the win that PSG had in their last champions league outing is a product of luck? PSG of al teams? if the likes of Chelsea that just got into the champions league won, we can ascribe to be possible luck but not a team like PSG that are not just the defending champion but that are at the same team one of the strongest and the most intentional team in the last season. apart from barca, no other team comes close to PSG in the way they take the champions league seriously not even the most talked about real Madrid.

Champions league is a difficult competition you cannot win by luck. For any team to win the champions league the team must be serious and put in great efforts before they can defeat great teams and win the champions league. So if Nottingham Forest qualify for the champions league and win it, it is not luck but rather the efforts they put in. In the last season champions league, if we are to say the team that comes close to Paris Saint-German, it is not even Barcelona but rather it is Bayern Munich, which were knocked out by Paris Saint-German in the semi finals.

The teams that participate in the Champions League are all the best teams, the best teams in their leagues. Even from the name of this league, you can understand that it is a league for champions and some teams get the opportunity to participate in the main stage of the Champions League by winning certain matches.

In such a league, you can never win multiple matches or win the title by luck. Especially in the knockout stage, you will not see any weak teams, at this stage even the top teams of the top leagues sometimes lose and leave the league. Even the matches in the table stage cannot be won by luck, rather you have to have the ability to win.

Forest isn't in a good form for me to say that they are capable of winning UCL. They wouldn't even go far. Any club that wins UCL is the best in Europe that season because if you are not the best, you cannot win the Champions League. Luck cannot take you there because it's reality and not gambling.

PSG is still the best so far, for two seasons and if no team can outshine them, they will definitely win it again for the third time.

If you are judging based on scoring productivity and consistency, you should also mention Bayern. Maybe you are too excited about supporting PSG and Barcelona that you have forgotten about Bayern, who have just as much of a chance as the two teams you mentioned. But keep in mind that results in the early stages do not guarantee that a club will go on to win the title. Even if a team is very consistent, mentality can also be an important factor. TBH, I would still choose PSG or Bayern over barcelona.

Every team that comes to play in the Champions League is serious, but the top eight teams are much more serious. They do not want to give up their place in any way. Even though Barcelona can be very optimistic in other leagues, every team in the Champions League can be a big threat. In the Champions League, you should not try to keep Barcelona above only by considering other teams as weak. PSG, Bayern are always the top team clubs, so everyone talks about them. But United, City, Como, Aston Villa, Betis, Arsenal should not be forgotten at all. They will definitely prepare themselves and start fighting very soon. You can choose any team from the beginning, but without understanding the real situation, you cannot be called the winner of the tournament from the beginning. Because the pressure of the Champions League is much higher than any other league. It is difficult for even the best teams to handle this pressure.

Are you really being serious right now? Are you saying this because both teams won their respective opponents with high score margin? You prefer Barcelona to Arsenal and Bayern Munich? You must be joking. PSG is not even supposed to be seen as a UCL title contender this season but the reason why they are being accorded that regards is simply because they won the UCL back-to-back. Barcelona has a very great team but their strength in the UCL is limited. I even prefer Real Madrid as a strong team that can win the Champions League instead of Barcelona.

PSG may not have a promising start this season but that is never enough reason to write them off as trophy contenders because even at this point,  they are much better than Barcelona that is coming with an unimaginable performance  in all their games this season.
Of a truth, there is no team as promising as Barcelona but I don't think the Barcelona we know have what it takes to come out victorious at the end of the season because they lack this champions league competitive spirit the same way PSG have built now.
For now it will be very difficult coming up with a winner of this seasons champions league tournament because the tournament is just starting and teams have not yet convinced us by their performance.

He is actually saying the truth. No team come close to Barca and PSG this season. Bayern Munich is close but not in that level. Attacking wise they are the best team in Europe. Barca has the best attack, PSG have both attack midfield and defense.

Arsenal is also one of the best team in Europe. However the attack is still the problem. The attack lack quality player unlike the midfield with lots of quality. I trust them to reach the Champions league final and this time win the final.

Look at last two seasons when Liverpool was performing excellently winning matches from the beginning to the round of 16, but unfortunately they could not be able to proceed with that performance and that is how they were knocked out. I absolutely agree with what you have said here regarding the Beginning does not justify the means, so the end is what really matters. Judging too early in this kind of competition is very wrong, assuming this is their home League, I will say that a lot of things can happen which will make them win the trophy.

Champions League is very difficult to play and that is why teams like Bayern Munich do not underestimate any team and that is why they always they always score more goals than any other teams. Some teams performance will be the below 5 on the table, but they will be struggling to make life difficult for the top teams to the extent of eliminating them.

The season is still very long as well as for the Champions League especially we only just did the first match so when talking about the readiness of the beginning of the season now Barcelona and PSG are still very good but we know the Champions League is always different in the league phase and the knock out phase.

Clubs that looked ready in the league phase were sometimes not so impressive in the knock out phase and in those 2 seasons the situation was almost the same. 2 last season we saw Liverpool's dominance in the league phase but could not do anything in the knock out phase, last season was also almost the same although Arsenal defended but the results were not too much different.

From this situation we can conclude one thing although for the probability of some clubs subscription is always a favorite but the league phase sometimes can not be the initial benchmark because in the drawing and knock out phase everything can change due to several factors so in this case when we talk readiness all clubs have prepared but sometimes the performance depends on how the chemistry and internal problems.

Exactly!

There is nothing wrong with speculating at the start of the season, but sometimes people are too fanatical about a particular team, so they overlook other teams and rate their favorite team too highly. In the end, some club fans can take things a little too far.

You remind me of the joke Liverpool pulled when they fooled most bettors. At the time, so many bettors were convinced that Liverpool would win the title, and some of them even placed huge bets on them. But in the end, they were knocked out on penalties instead.

I don't think seriousness is tied to the fact that Barcelona is scoring a handful of goal in there matches, thats not it. Every team is seriously involved and want to win. It's just one match, and it wasn't only Barcelona that won. So many other teams won. So it's still all 3 points and counting.

Meanwhile, we can't deny the fact that Barcelona is in the peak of a credible performance recently as they are demolishing there opponents with enough goals. However, they are still going to fight for a possible win all through the competition and probably the finals. PSG is a good threat, there are also other teams who can challenge them. Let's see how far they can go in this there wonderful form.

Real and Bayern could well be champions, but I really like Barcelona right now too, they are playing excellently, and if injuries don't get in their way, they could be one of the main contenders for the title. As for PSG, they shouldn't be underestimated either, although they are in poor form at the moment, that could change towards the end of the season, when it matters most.

It has been reported that Raphinha picked up an injury in the friendly match against Australia. The severity of the injury is not yet known and will be assessed later. If it turns out to be serious, Raphinha's participation in the match against PSG could be in doubt. I hope it's only a minor injury, because otherwise PSG would have some advantage over Barcelona if Raphinha is not in the Catalans'starting lineup.

I also hope it's a minor injury, not because of the Real Madrid match, even though it's certainly a crucial one, but simply because he's a player who's started the season perfectly, and I'd be disappointed if he were to miss out due to injury. So I wish him a speedy recovery.

From what I’ve read online, the Barcelona striker’s injury is thought to be a minor case of muscle swelling, so it should clear up quickly. He’ll most likely be available for selection for the next match. His return to Barcelona was purely a precautionary measure and not because it was a serious injury.
That’s what I’ve read, and the reports should be accurate, or at least I hope so

Among the strongest teams in this season, Barcelona is seen as the strongest and Barcelona is performing very well in La Liga and is making a very good start in UCL. If we look at all the other teams like Arsenal, Bayern Munich, PSG these teams are going through a bit of a bad time. Although at the moment Arsenal is going through a big injury problem. But another thing is that the season has just started so the performance of these few matches can never determine the result of the entire season's performance. However, the chances of Barcelona winning are much higher according to their current performance. Hopefully, they can maintain their current performance throughout the season.

All things considered, in my opinion, this season will be more competitive and there will be more uncertainty.
Last season we knew very well that PSG would dominate... and so it was
we also knew that Bayern or Arsenal would be the finalists

This season, I think also because of the World Cup, everyone is tired and broken

[giorgione]

PSG usually perform very strongly against the big teams, PSG did not start very well in their domestic league, but that does not mean that they will be the same in the Champions League, they are definitely different here, they perform quite strongly. Last season they reached the final by beating Bayern Munich in the semi-finals and there they beat Arsenal to win the championship, these teams are very strong teams but PSG were very good against them. And so in the same way I think they are not a team to lose very easily against Manchester City. I would not say that PSG has a very good chance either, but now looking at the chances, both teams are equally strong, and so anything can happen in the match, now we just have to wait and see.

We have a very similar line of thought on this topic, because even if Paris Saint-Germain's season hasn't started in the best way
I believe that as far as the Champions League is concerned, there will be a different type of focus, based solely on the possibility of breaking some really important records.

[changaa]

It is not a difficult match to watch but rather a very indecisive game because the outcome is not certain that a particular team will win. Paris Saint Germain has not be performing as expected this season and they have lost and drew some of the matches they were supposed to win freely yet it doesn't mean Manchester city is going to win them because anything is very possible especially in game like this, Paris Saint Germain can start their good football from this game who knows.

If i really had to give an idea of how I'd view the match, i saw a Paris Saint-Germain side that was prepared but at the same time not without difficulty.
So, if i had to make a prediction, I'd opt for something more in favor of City than Paris Saint-Germain.
Only if the English side continues their positive run.

You are right, winning any trophy is a product of the teams commitment,  dedication and willingness but not based on luck because it it where based on luck all the teams would have becomed champions. When Chelsea did it back in those year's,  they appeared among the best teams in the world then and where ready to do more if they have the opportunity,  so don't judge them based on their performance today because they can still gain something if they try

Chelsea have certainly drastically changed the team this year, because you can see that since the change in manager and Xabi Alonso's arrival at the Blues' helm, something has changed significantly.
So the Blues will definitely be able to compete this year and aim for something more significant.
