UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Still too early to make any solid predictions but I assume the usual teams will be in the latter stages of the competition. The likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Inter, Bayern Munich.

I hope Liverpool do better this season in it, we only lost on penalties to eventual winners PSG. We will be stronger now with Frimpong, Wirtz and Kerkez signing. I think we will sign a striker too. Arne Slot means business.

You are right, the big teams as mentioned are likely to be in the final stages of the competition, but let's look forward to the new ones like the Premier League teams being in the final. Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City look worthy of being in the final and fighting for the title, but so far some people are too doubtful considering the dominance of teams like Real Madrid or others.

Liverpool were brilliant last season and they really want to make history with Arne Slot. He is a serious coach and he has proven his worth, but to reach the Champions League final, I think he knows it will not be easy. Bringing in some new players to freshen things up is good, but again, it is too early to say who will make it to the final.

It’s most unlikely by my speculations that PSG would be able to defend their title come next season in the champions league. I mean, I see how much the team has improved lately, their game with Atletico Madrid in the club World Cup tells much of it, that the result they got against Inter Milan was no joke and a testament to what they are about but, next champions league season would be more challenging than before and I don’t see PSG having the same aura to see through it. Real Madrid at most would be out to redeem themselves of the shame from last season.

PSG doesn't look like they could actually do it again. They have done it once, but they do not look like they have what it takes to do it again. Why do I say that? Because they had a team that played together without Mbappe for the first time, and that meant they played with all of them together, without having any "star" player in mind.

However, now that they already won, we have started to see how they are doing, which means they already have Dembele, or Kvara, shoot instead of passing. That means, if the players try to take the best out of this win, and act as if they are the star, then we are going to see plenty of chances missed, and even one chance missed in an important game looks to be so much important and difference maker. PSG may have that trouble this season.

Defending much more difficult than winning, yet i believe PSG still have the same chance to do the same next season. I remind you they have been leaving from a star player centric team to the a collective team. Kinda wrong when you assume they have no chance to do the same thing for twice.

The MU situation is very complicated, the truth is I don't know what will happen with this team, the one who should have it clear is Amorim, he is in bad hands, I imagine that his budget for new players is low, he can't bring in stars that the team needs, they completely closed the doors to CR7 when ETH was there, and what they need are committed players who love the team to move the team forward, for me they need many things.

Manchester United state is very bad and I don’t think they can continue to have this issue for a long time without an overall change of the team. I have not seen Manchester United is such a port form for quite a very long time now, their ways are very different than they use to be before now, they don’t last this long without them recovering from their bad form. This has been a long time, they need to have some changes in their pattern of game before they get relegated because they almost did in this season that just ended.

Amorim was brought in hoping that he will change the state of the team but he could not in his first season, I just hope he will have a more successful season in the coming season. He is not sacked because of how he performed in the Europa league, but he needs to do better in the premier league next season if he wants to keep his position.  Amorim will be on close watch and if no improvement is seen, he might lose his job even before the season ends.

United has already set things in motion in making sure that they achieve their aim of building a new team already they have put about ten senior team players for sell and is in the radar to sign big players like Victor oshimen so I think United has started getting back to their sense of they can land oshimen in old Trafford next season it will be a big boost for their team

If Manchester United wants to bring Victor Osimhen to Old Trafford, they can achieve it if they are willing to meet Victor Osimhen's release clause at Napoli and Victor Osimhen's personal terms. The lack of a good striker at Manchester United was one of the reasons Manchester United was struggling to win their matches this season, and if Manchester United can bring Victor Osimhen to Old Trafford, their performance will take a new turn next season, and they can challenge for the Premier League title because Victor Osimhen has what it takes to lead Manchester United to win the Premier League title.

At the beginning of this season, we considered Manchester City, Liverpool and Madrid to be the most favorite for the title. But these three teams could not achieve the qualification of the semi-finals. And in the end, PSG became the champion completely unexpectedly. It is not possible to predict what will happen next season..

Now, let's start predicting who will be the champion of the 2025/2026 season. The transfer market is still not over, the league not started yet, this will be a blind prediction. no analysis just based on your tought.
I might favor Madrid as the first candidate for champion, Although Xabi failed in UCL last season, with the squad he has in Madrid, it might be better.
Second might be Bayern, currently they are showing good performance in the domestic league, they also haven't won UCL for a long time.
Liverpool, if they can maintain their consistency, they also have the potential to be champions.

Every club is trying to strengthen their squad. So we should not pick a favorite team for the Champions League until we see the squad. The three teams you mentioned, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool, are almost always favorites for the Champions League. City and Barcelona are also considered favorites. Inter Milan and PSG should also be considered favorites next season because they played in the final last season. In fact, the competition in the Champions League is even more intense now. Several clubs have very strong squads and experienced coaches.

I had the feeling that PSG will win inter Milan in the final, but I wasn’t so confident about that, inter Milan surprised me in some matches, I never believed they will even get to the final, but they struggled and were able to get to the final, but at the end they messed up things, I don’t really know what happened to Inter Milan on the final day, even if PSG will win, inter are not suppose to allow PSG score so many goals in the final, they were humiliated in the final.

Everyone expected PSG to win the final, but there was little thought of Inter Milan winning after they eliminated Barcelona. Many people believed the final would be different because Inter Milan had eliminated Barcelona, so it would be a difficult game for PSG to win, and surprisingly, PSG won and humiliated Inter Milan as if they were playing a preseason match. Inter Milan did not pose any threat to PSG, and they were lucky to beat Barcelona to make it to the final.

However, PSG players seemed to not feel like they played in a Champions League final because it was easy to win, we did not see a Champions League final where every team struggled until the final whistle before we could decide the Champions League winner, but we knew from the first half of the game against Inter that PSG would win the trophy because Inter only had one shot on target in the first half, they no longer deserve to be in a Champions League final.

The way the final turned out is a pure sign of how the pecking order in football can change when a club gets its act together. Of course, Inter eliminated Barcelona, but that is the magic (or madness) of knockouts. There is sometimes an illusion of real dominance after one tough win. Looking at PSG, this was not a case of individual magic or lucky run, the team has been rebuilt since Mbappe left and now it operates like a machine

PSG didn't simply win. They beat Inter easily since they play as a unit. The loss of Mbappe was one thought to destroy the club but it instead made the club stop relying on one star and play as a team. The final revealed the difference in the tactical level: the mobility of PSG, how they pressed Inter and how each of the players seem to be completely focused, that is not something you can fake in a final

It did look like a preseason game, but that is because PSG have become so good that the system does the work, not the players. The manner in which they dominated everything (even without their best scorer) indicates that they aren't just out to win a one-off game. Sometimes, when a club has finally gotten it right, these finals are not a contest, they're a statement. This was one of those times

We are talking about who will win the Champions League next season, and the game is still quite long. If we only talk about the possibilities, every team participating in the Champions League has the possibility to win the title, and if we only talk about the possibilities, PSG may be able to win the big-eared trophy for the second time in a row.

The competition next season will be even tighter, now the big teams are trying to improve their performance and squad depth to be even better by bringing in new ammunition. Meanwhile, for PSG, they seem to have found the right formula for their squad to face the next season, so now we don't see PSG like the previous seasons which were so busy to be able to bring in star players.

I think PSG winning the champions league they are now well motivated than ever, and next season for them would be when they give more to see if they can recreate that championship again. So they are a team to watch and definitely a favourite in the list of next season's UCL possible winners. No doubt othe teams are improving their squad depth with the transfer window open but I'm football a lot of unexpected events has always happened. And PSG can be one of such again even though it's not certain.

The morale of the club boost since they won the UEFA champions league this season. It's been really a crucial run for the club since Luis Enrique took over as running manager. He put in the work and mind to the game and look at the height they've reach this season. Paris Saint-Germain will continue to triumphed because they're no longer playing just to satisfy themselves, rather they're playing good football with equal accolades to everyone.

PSG three season back was something else, they failed in all scenario to adopt a pattern that works for them when it comes to competing in elite tournaments. Les Parisiens was only known for lifting domestic titles but now, we can say the same because they won the UCL and that makes them reigning UCL champions. They worked hard for it and they deserve it.

There's time for everything. This is the time that PSG squad has the highest strength than every other club and that's why their performance is outstanding and superb. Enrique did a great job on the team. Currently, I don't think that any team can win them easily without them fighting back. This is the best squad PSG has built in history.

PSG's motivation will indeed continue to increase after successfully coming out as champions and maybe in the future they will try to maintain consistency in order to maintain the opportunity to defend the Champions League trophy. But if we talk about competition, maybe next season will be much more competitive so PSG themselves will certainly get much more difficult resistance. PSG can still be one of the strong clubs next season but I doubt their ability to defend the trophy because remembering the competition in the Champions League is not easy because there are many teams who may have evaluated the level of weaknesses that will be perfected.

well, honestly i agree with you about PSG, they have made great strides and have become a real fearsome and strong team. It is not easy to face a team as strong as them and with such high morale given that they have won a Champions League in a spectacular way.

I think that having a very high morale cannot also increase the confidence and security to face the matches.
Unfortunately, it is a known fact that when you are doubtful or when you are not sure of yourself, you cannot give 100% of what you can give.
So morale and self-confidence can only reinforce what already exists.

I see that there are a lot of skeptics around PSG who do not believe they are capable of repeating the success of last season. But it seems to me that PSG under Enrique has become a different team, they have become more conscious. Enrique added very good speed and, most importantly, he managed to achieve such great success with a very young team. He built a new PSG made up of very young players, and that is why I believe they have huge potential for the next few seasons. I even think they are capable of trying to defend their title.

It is not easy to defend the Champions League title and if we look at the motivation not only PSG but other teams also have the same motivation, some are even greater in motivation so I think on that side all teams are the same but for PSG they now have much higher confidence for the Champions League competition next season for what they have achieved this season and indeed PSG remains a team to be reckoned with.
We cannot deny that since Luis Enrique became PSG coach, there have been many developments so that much better things are also possible next season.

[GiftedMAN]

Still too early to make any solid predictions but I assume the usual teams will be in the latter stages of the competition. The likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Inter, Bayern Munich.

I hope Liverpool do better this season in it, we only lost on penalties to eventual winners PSG. We will be stronger now with Frimpong, Wirtz and Kerkez signing. I think we will sign a striker too. Arne Slot means business.

And then you write off Chelsea, Napoli, Manchester city and Arsenal from the list. What a way to disrespect these teams that have more often shown a strong competition in the champions league whenever they are in attendance. I wouldn't want o underestimate any team right now till the season is in motion and the league stage has gone  a long mile. In the season when PSG won the champions league they had to finish bottom in the league stage and no one ever thought they can rise as champions.  Don't be amazed if none of those teams you listed above reaches the semi finals or the final.

As long as they can maintain their performance this season and can improve it even more by recruiting players to strengthen the depth of the squad, then it is not impossible for them to maintain their success next season.

However, this is football where anything can happen, maybe they have a very big problem such as being hit by a storm of injuries and others that make them have to decline drastically. Talking about the coach, Enrique has good capital, because logically he should have understood the squad he has better, so that should be able to help more.

PSG must be better for next season. because the competition from other strong teams will also be tighter. Those who experienced a decline in performance last season will definitely evaluate and improve their squad for next season. Some are changing coaches, and some are bringing in new players to complement their strengths.
The Champions League will definitely be contested by strong teams, it is impossible for a team that only relies on luck to win the Champions League.

I don't support any team but i love football regardless, the important thing is that it's a team game
Even though i support the team that suffered the worst humiliation in its history in the history of the Champions League finals, i can only say that PSG is strong and has demonstrated it amply

we have to be sporty

[changaa]

If we compare Real Madrid with PSG, maybe it is wrong because in terms of experience and quality, these two teams are different and Real Madrid has become the king of the Champions League. I am not so optimistic that PSG will be able to defend their second trophy in a row for next season because there are many challenges that they will get and also many teams are starting to fix their squads to look stronger when facing competition in the Champions League next season.
When PSG won the champions league in this previous season, nobody knew they would be the winners. And so we can't rule out that they can't do it in a row. Records are created when least expected, and as at those periods Real Madrid had to win the UCL back to back in a row little did any of us thought they could do it. PSG, right now has that quality and the experience provided that they have won the league, unlike before.
It is true that when PSG won the UEFA Champions League trophy in the just concluded UEFA Champions League competition, nobody knew they would be the winner because PSG was an underdog. But I don't see PSG winning the UEFA Champions League trophy next season because the UEFA Champions League competition is a difficult trophy to win back-to-back. PSG will only go far in the competition, but winning the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2 consecutive seasons isn't certain.

well, real madrid and psg are two different teams with different levels of experience and quality
the champions league title is difficult to defend, it takes a lot of effort and commitment
