UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[BIT-BENDER]

This new season's champions league will be tough and I doubt that those clubs who where able to make it into the semi's would get such a chance. Clubs like Arsenal would have to work extra hard if they hope to see even the quarter finals, that's why when they had their chance when they met PSG they should have taken it. Imagine Luis Enrique not including the Gunners as one the clubs to pose a headache to them in their journey to winning the title but rather mentioned the likes of Liverpool and Aston Villa.

You have your own opinion but after all said and done the business is handled on the football pitch.
I think with the just concluded season being the season of the underdogs no big team should feel relaxed. Yes we are expecting big things from some certain type of team let's not forget other teams will still put in tremendous amount of work.
Well I would say that we would have a very interesting champions league experience and I would love to see Barcelona do well.

This year I see Juventus as a very good team, like every year they are not the favourites, but with the dismissal of the coach and the management, Giuntili and Thiago Motta, in my opinion they can really return to the high levels where they deserve to be, as for Inter it is better not to talk about it

Why do you feel it is better not to talk about Inter Milan? Is it because Inter Milan lost the Champions League final to PSG? If for that reason you no longer talk about Inter Milan, is there a guarantee that Juventus can reach the UCL final next season? Because I am still not sure for Juventus if the competition is the Champions League, which is a league that is much fiercer than the domestic league, but if you say that for Serie A, maybe I can be a little bit sure for Juventus because the fierceness of Serie A is not the same as the fierceness of the competition in the Champions League.

A new home, and new competition. thanks babo!



I can't wait to see how good england to performance next season by sending six clubs to the UCL. Liverpool, Arsenal, City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle to play in UCL. Many called PL as the best and most competitive league in the world, but their performance in UCL was often not as people expected.

The only thing that makes me feel interesting is that to see Chelsea back again to the UCL after they missed it two seasons in a row.

@babo
You may like to update the Op because champions league has more slots to some leagues. Just like England they have 5 chances this season.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester city, Chelsea and Newcastle United.
By virtue of winning the Europa league, Tottenham will also play in the champions league.
It seems that England will dominate European competitions next season.

Yes, some changes needs to be done in the thread because the Champions League pattern do always have some changes recently. This season, we have more than five slots from the English Premier League, while we have five spots for Laliga teams.

Next season will be an interesting Champions League season because many teams are preparing for the Champions League because teams like Real Madrid will come for revenge against Arsenal, Barcelona will come for revenge against Inter Milan and I am very sure the group stage might come with such fixtures just to make more money in the Champions League because this final don’t have the turn up they wanted, but the new pattern has helped a lot and any team now have equal chance of winning the Champions League.

Can't guess for next season, obviously many favorites lost earlier than we expected. Lol

Where will the 2025/26 Champions League be hosted this time?

It will be interesting how the Premier League now represents many teams for the Champions League season to start, and now Real Madrid has a new coach.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Enrique is one hell of a coach, getting things with the PSG side to this stage of becoming champions of Europe but what seems to amaze me is the manager Enrique saying that among all the teams they played against in the champions league, that the hardest team are Liverpool and Aston Villa, that they are better than Arsenal who battled them in the semi finals, that the Gunners are not better and not even difficult, how true is that? To me it shows that the road to winning the champions league was easy for Enrique and his boys.

I think I understand Enriques point, I don't know why he thinks Aston Villa were tougher than Arsenal but I totally get his statement concerning Liverpool, they couldn't beat Liverpool at home but scored more goals home and away against Arsenal and Aston Villa, that means Liverpool was very tough to score against even though we all know that PSG played better but Liverpool's Defense was too tough that PSG had to win on penalties, Arsenal would been the toughest if PSG won them on penalties but it was easy to beat Arsenal in their home and at Paris. To me I won't say it was easy for PSG cause they faced several obstacles but were more prepared for it than other teams, they brought in a Champions League winning coach and signed younger players that are ready for success than playing for personal interest so it made coaching easier for Enrique since his team was one-minded.

I agree with and I don't blame Enrique, he is right to have said that or maybe is like a pay back for Arteta when he said he's team was the better side even when they still lost to PSG at Paris. Arsenal wasn't even sure of getting through when they played at home and lost then it repeated same thing again when they visited Paris it was annoying like a free gift they handed to PSG. For Aston Villa, that game made PSG scared in the second leg and if they got that 1 precious goal it would have been a bigger problem. Villa gave PSG a fight for their lives and same thing to Liverpool. I believe that if the defense of Liverpool was strong like the way they were in the first leg I don't think Liverpool would get to that penalty shoot out and it was a nightmare for Enrique because he wasn't in control like that of Aston Villa. What Enrique said should be a lesson to the Gunners because if they had put that same energy they did against Madrid all these won't have happened and PSG would have seen them as a more serious team.

Sometimes I also think with a new format like this, many unexpected things happen, even many surprises until the final match yesterday. Where with a new format like this, the teams that have to fight through the play-off round cannot be underestimated, even they are the Champions League champions. The teams that were initially favored actually failed first, who would have thought the final match between PSG and Inter Milan? and who would have thought in the final match PSG slaughtered Inter Milan with 5 goals without reply, I myself did not expect it to be like that because in the semifinals Inter actually beat Barcelona. In the final it was predicted to be more fierce but on the contrary PSG easily beat Inter Milan.

Yes. Interestingly, the champions league next season is a team from the EPL representatives, they sent many representatives to the champions league. It is interesting to wait and see whether they can step into the final match among the 6 teams or can only reach the semi-finals?
If there are many representatives, there should be one team that can penetrate the final match or become champions, interesting.
Real Madrid certainly has a big mission next season after failing miserably this season, plus Mbappe's big ambition to win the UCL trophy, especially after seeing PSG lift the UCL trophy this season.

Well it's good that the premier league has enough representatives next season, but it's quality over quantity. We have seen how PSG alone knockout about 3 teams from the premier league in the knockout stages this season. If the premier league teams don't prepare very well next season, it won't matter how many that are representing they will all be knocked out. I prefer quality over quantity.

I have no confidence in Juventus' performance. I have not seen the expected good performance from the team in the last few years. This season the team was very lucky to qualify for the Champions League. In fact, I do not like Juventus' overall performance at all.

Juventus' biggest weakness is their attack. Scoring even against weak teams is a very difficult task for Juventus. So Juventus definitely needs an experienced striker. If Juventus can add a regular scorer to the squad, then their performance is likely to improve. Juventus' defense is quite strong. The team is lagging behind because of a weak attack.

[_BlackStar]

The 2024-2025 season has flown by and now the sporting world is waiting for the new 2025-2026 season to begin. The Champions League has produced new champions in recent seasons - we may see more of that in the future as the favourites fall one by one in the knockout stages. Arsenal have never experienced the greatness of lifting the Champions League trophy - they will probably win it in the next few seasons, but not next season.

Instead of Juventus - I tend to believe more in Napoli and Inter's potential, also in Atalanta. Juventus are not as strong as they used to be - they were a strong team in their time, but not anymore.

The current 6 Premier League representatives for the upcoming Champions League.

Liverpool
Arsenal
Man City
Chelsea
Newcastle
Tottenham as UEL winners.

Don't know how these representatives will be but I feel the Premier league is still difficult to penetrate the final, they are often good in the domestic league.

England being the first to appear six teams in next season's Champions League is a good motivation because while some of them may drop very early, others will possibly reach the semis and the finals. Tottenham was the sixth team to qualify for the Champions League after they won Manchester United in the Europa League finals and got direct qualification into the UCL. Among the former traditional teams of England, it's only Manchester United that didn't make it to the UCL.

It's nice to see Chelsea in the Champions League again after they had a good season, Chelsea usually have an aura whenever they make it to the UCL and i am sure they will continue with their impressive performance next season. Chelsea have won the Champions League twice, in 2012 and 2021 precisely. With the current energy in the team, i think they will make an awesome Champions League outing.

The most fascinating thing about this champions league with the premier league teams is that one of them should at least get to the finals. If none of them gets to the finals, I will just say they’re a bunch of teams without any good use in the champions league. I know from the starting, they may not really have a case on each other, like them meeting each other, but as time goes on, they’ll need to also face each other until the final stages. I hope they make good use of this opportunity given to them. 6 teams out of 32 teams is a good one for them, let’s see how the table is going to be presented for the next seasons champions league.

Barcelona may improve next season, but the Champions League is very unpredictable. I remember how hard it was for PSG to get to the round of 16, but then they managed to win the title in the end. Barcelona and Liverpool were both good at the start of the season, but their struggles failed and they didn't reach the final.

Every team that will play in the Champions League will try to give their best. There is no exception, even when finding some non-favorite teams in the list. I will put Barcelona in the list of favorites next season, Real Madrid and Liverpool too.

In the last 10 years some of premier league clubs can being an the champion such as Manchester City or Liverpool so i can says premier league clubs can be considered as strong contender for the title for almost each season and for next season they will have 6 representatives although it won't be easy but i expect at least 1 representative from premier league can reach to the semifinal and the clubs such as Liverpool or Manchester City had a potential to reach this achievement especially for Liverpool that i can see they were very active this summer to buy players

It's really difficult guessing who will win the Champions League next season because a lot of things has changed. Just like no one would have guessed correctly that PSG will win the Champions League this season from beginning because no one expected them to still be a serious team after Mbappe left, so it is now that they are about six teams from England, and many other variables. Whatever be the case, We know that Bayern Munic, Barcelona and Real Madrid will always be among favorite to win the title.

Because of how fierce and competitive the premier league is that is why you see most times the English team always dominate and beat other league clubs In the champions league and the English team that qualified for champions league next season always do better apart from Newcastle but Chelsea, Manchester city, Liverpool, arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur always go far in champions league and I believe this coming season they will do well and with the pressure Newcastle was playing with this season I hope they do so in the champions league next season.

[Queentoshi]

As long as the current coach of PSG remains, I believe they will still have the very good chance of defending the title next season because for that team they will only get better. They won Champions League this season from their brilliance, it was not luck for them because they defeated top teams to get to the finals and set a record. At this point, I don't see them as a team to be ignored.

They have won it once, they will try to win it again to prove they did not win it by mistake, and they have that confidence to do it.

Guessing is something we can do anytime, there is always a favorite when the season begins, and facing other teams along the line. Next season Champions League will be tough not only to predict, also when the fixtures begin. The big clubs will compete this time, it's either one team that has won the title previously winning it once again, a new club will not be emerging this time around. Real Madrid are making their signings, Barcelona are getting ready, Liverpool are also going to be more effective in the Champions League next season than they were this time.

Nope! I don't see Juventus returning anywhere. They don't have the players for what you're seeing. They may be among the title contenders in the league, depending on how other teams perform, but in the Champions League, among the elite clubs in Europe, I don't see them getting past the quarter-final stage. They will even be lucky to get to the quarter-finals.
You can see that most top clubs are already planning on how to make their team better; nobody is sitting around and watching. There is strong competition in every league, but Juventus don't have the means to strengthen their squad. They could not even convince Conte to sign for them.
I had hope for them this season, and the best they could do was a top 4 finish. I'm not expecting much from them next season, unless they do some very fine business in this transfer window, and I'm not expecting that either.
