UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[cande86]

PSG didn't just beat the giant teams, they totally destroyed them. You know they beat Liverpool & Arsenal in the knockout stages & thrashed Inter Milan 5 - 0 in the UCL final, that made this victory a roaring success.

I cant say this dominance is a coincidence at all, rather I wanna call it Luis Enrique's team tactics, his mentality of playing together, & the confidence of his youth, all together has overcome the injuries and pressure.

Most importantly, PSG's players have the foundation for the future, & there is huge potential for improvement for those youngster. Under Luis Enrique's leadership & as a strong team, PSG will remain the clear favourites in UCL next season also

The defeat still burns me so much when i think about it, i can't help but think how humiliating it was to lose 5 goals to 0.
No reaction, no goal, nothing at all.
Only one team played against wooden dummies, embarrassing
Unfortunately, it happened to us Inter fans to see this outrage

After what you saw, do you think Inter performance deserved to enter the final at that time?
For me, Inter was indeed embarrassing, but the fact is that PSG was overpowered so there was not much that Inter could show on the field. Honestly, I lost my enthusiasm to watch the final, hoping that next season this incident will not happen again, especially at the peak of the final.

i am definitely on the crest of a wave now, in fact i give PSG a positive outlook and i think I'll make some bets in the French championship when the matches start again.
In a certain sense, adding a PSG match with odds of 1.2 does nothing but increase the profit of my multiple bet.

Yes friends, I think next season will be very interesting. We don’t know who will win Champions League. Big teams like Real Madrid, PSG, Barcelona, Inter, Bayern… they always go far, but sometimes surprise teams can come also.

I am Liverpool fan. Last season was very sad for me. We lost to PSG with penalties. It was hard. But now we have good new players — Frimpong, Wirtz and Kerkez. Maybe we will get a striker too. I think coach Arne Slot will do good job.

About PSG — yes, last season they were not so strong in group but still they won the cup. That was big surprise. So maybe same thing can happen again this season.

And for Inter fans, I understand you. 5-0 is very hard result. No team wants this in Champions League. I hope next season will be better for all teams. We will see many good matches I hope!

That all changed when the 2024/25 final was 10 minutes old and Hakimi scored the first goal. This means that not a few are speculating about the chances that Inter Milan will win the Champion League trophy. In fact, Inter Milan played unlike the team recognized by the football public around the world.

Next season, it is likely that PSG can also do a lot if the pattern of play does not regress considering the line-up when beating Inter, the average age of the players is under 30 years old.

One interesting fact about the UEFA Chiampions league is that the next season is always tougher and more competitive than the previous one. Yeah offcourse PSG truly dominated their group and subsequently progresses to the Final and won it for the record .It was truly amazing seeing how PSG with determination and  with a relentless efforts were able to make history for themselves by winning the trophy. I can also agree with you that Inter Milian were defeated shamefully by PSG,it's was as if PSG was playing against an underage team,the goals were entering so easily as if it wasn't a final. Maybe this season will be different for PSG, There might not make it this far as the previous season,more clubs wouldn't give up on their efforts to win the UEFA Chiampions league trophy,like always it's going to be tougher than the last season.

This raises the question how many games there will be that give you a safe 1.20 odds. I think if next PSG plays against those teams from the bottom half of the last season table, maybe you don't even get 1.20 odds. I can't remember now what they gave last season when they played against underdogs, was it 1.2? Maybe if PSG plays at home against Monaco, it could be 1.35 or something like that, but be careful you know because sometimes PSG decides to give some players a rest if they can afford it and when important CL games are about to take place. 1.2 can be misleading occasionally.

I know Inter Milan didn't perform the way we expected in the UEFA Champions League final, but that shouldn't make us forget the effort and hard work Inter Milan put in to beat their opponents in the UEFA Champions League competition and set up a final with PSG, so I am saying Inter Milan deserves to be in the final.

[Jegileman]

I see PSG now earned a lot of respect than they use to have in the past, I am very proud of them because they proved us really wrong as to what we were expecting from them when they started the competition. I see the big teams you’ve mentioned but we shouldn’t be surprise to see newest joining to the competition this season having an edge over them when the competition begins. Champions league is full of surprises and I know we will see more even in the next season.

About PSG — yes, last season they were not so strong in group but still they won the cup. That was big surprise. So maybe same thing can happen again this season.

And for Inter fans, I understand you. 5-0 is very hard result. No team wants this in Champions League. I hope next season will be better for all teams. We will see many good matches I hope!

We always wish to see more interesting and tough matches in the next season after a season has ended. It is along the season that we get to see many changes in the way a team plays or they perform qualitatively within the team as they proceed in the competition. Hard luck to Inter Milan but they should focus on getting far this season more rather than looking for a way to get a revenge to their humiliation in the finals of the champions league last season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

You're right Barcelona would've been a good match for the finals and it would've been a bad one for PSG, PSG should be very happy that inter eliminated Barcelona if not it would've been a stumbling block for them because PSG and Barcelona have almost the pattern of football and mind you that's a finals which I know that Barcelona will not joke with it, they would have given all they got that day to make sure that they win PSG, to me despite how PSG is, Barcelona remains their superior unless such has to be proven wrong this time by both of them meeting in finals of such competition like the UEFA champions league.

Whenever Barcelona does a good job of managing the season, everyone thinks the same, that it should have been better or something, but no, for me the best is what happens, it will always be like that. In other words, PSG can show at any moment that they are the best if they win the Club World Cup. Barcelona is not there because of their poor management in previous seasons, so these are things that could not be changed. One good season will not make up for 4 bad years.

I cant say this dominance is a coincidence at all, rather I wanna call it Luis Enrique's team tactics, his mentality of playing together, & the confidence of his youth, all together has overcome the injuries and pressure.

Most importantly, PSG's players have the foundation for the future, & there is huge potential for improvement for those youngster. Under Luis Enrique's leadership & as a strong team, PSG will remain the clear favourites in UCL next season also

Looking at the squads that PSG currently has on ground, I think they can still be favourites for the next season champions league title also. A team full of young players is a team with big potentials. After winning the last season’s champion league, they will be on top of their game and want to have another win again this season. All eyes will be on them but if they really train hard and work together well as a team, they will turn to a force no team can be able to counter on unless they face a defeat.

We will have other favourites for next season as the season will start and see their dominance in their respective league games, but since the champions league competition is different, we have to wait to see their performance in champions league also before coming to a decision on the most preferred favourite teams for the champions league title. All preparations at the beginning of the season will be on how to escape the group stage by all teams involved which is very important for the success of each team in the competition when it begins.

Barcelona are in current good shape following the masterminds and helping hands that joined the club. Hansi Flick made Barcelona to become formidable and elite enough for top tournament. He single-handedly choose a path he will follow and now watching how they have gotten elevated, it's definitely something to be appreciated about. Do you know we're yet to see the best of Barcelona under Hansi Flick? He's a phenomenal since handling the managerial role of Barcelona.

Barcelona president, Joan Laporta is pleased with Hansi Flick and have been dwelling after having Hansi Flick around. The president can now sleep well knowing fully well that the managerial role is been play effectively by Hansi Flick, a man he trusts.

Of course, defending the title is not an easy task for PSG and I feel that Real Madrid might be the winner next season. This is because they won it twice in the last four seasons. They win this season and lose the next. Who knows if this is what will play out again next season as PSG since won it this season. It will be difficult for PSG to reach the finals because they might not be in their best form like they were this season. Injury is something that can destroy a strong team.

When PSG want to defend the Champions League title in a row for two seasons, they need a fairly promising squad and that is not one of the factors that can make their chances wide open because we see very few teams that are able to defend the Champions League title in a row for two seasons. To compete, maybe PSG will be included in that category but I doubt they will reach the final next season. Real Madrid are always included in the category of clubs that have the chance to reach the final in the Champions League even though the fact is that sometimes they fail and that is influenced by their mentality and quality in the Champions League.

It should be underlined that defending a title is more difficult than winning it. PSG has just managed to realize its dream of winning the UCL trophy, so far Nasser Al-Khelaifi has spent a lot of resources but always ended in failure, only in the Luis Enrique era were they able to win the most prestigious trophy. Of course they are very ambitious to defend the trophy they have just won, but it is not something easy because there are so many other top teams trying to win this trophy.

Currently only Real Madrid have been able to retain the UCL trophy more than twice, they have also made a major overhaul after going through a bad season with Ancelotti. I am a little pessimistic that PSG can do it because every season there will always be unexpected surprises.

[Lidger]

This is one interesting thing I love about this current PSGs squad because they more like play a team work, but this system seems already in place while Kylian Mbappe was still with the club which is why his departure from the club didn't have any negative impact on the team's performance because they don't rely on the performance of any player or a super star in their in their team.

If a team can coordinate themselves and work together, then they will all have a team work that could make their dream work, which is what I've seen with the way of PSG performance in their just concluded victory of 2024/2025 UEFA Champions League, if they can maintain high level of coordination like this, then they will be able to go more better than ever in their pursuits, now here comes another season for them to show all they've got, which I believe they can deliver more.

PSG won the Champions League title last season and it seems that they are ready to fight next season with the same team they performed with last season but my question is will PSG be successful next season by competing with the team they competed with and succeeded with last season? The big teams could not do well last season for some reason but those teams will perform well next season which will make it difficult for PSG to win against those big teams with the current team they have. I think PSG does not need to change many players in the team but they should buy some players. If they recruit some players to their club then their team will be stronger next season than last season and in that case they will be able to compete against any team but it will be tough.

PSG made their club strategic changes since there seasons ago and they have maintained it from three seasons before winning t a first Champions League title in their club history. They become a second French club that have ever won Champions League title after Marseille in 1990s.

PSG did this milestone with many young players who potentially improve themselves more and become better players in future seasons. So PSG don't actually have urgent need of buying new players in this summer but perhaps they will try to find and sign. with some young players as part of their long term developments.

While the average squad is quite young, trying to prepare for the future is always a good thing. Especially if the competition in the market gets quite harsher with so many clubs having more money to spend in the future. Not to mention, we know what happened with a team that failed to prepare for regeneration quickly, like City or Liverpool, a few seasons ago. Attracting young or promising players when you have a "UCL winner" is also easier, so it is a good thing if the scout department moves quickly. I think Liverpool has already signed a new young GK in this window, shortly after they signed a new GK and loaned their third-choice GK (which is also not bad, afaik).

Who knows, maybe that will help the competitiveness of the squad and help them clinch another UCL next season.

People are right to look at PSG and think “favorites”. Yes, their average age is just 23.3 and that’s historic for a Champions League winner. Most people think you have to rely on older players to win the Champions League, but PSG did the opposite. With a young squad, they easily beat Inter Milan 5-0 in the final. That’s not normal. No team has ever blown out a final like that with kids running the show

The key factor that made this successful is Luis Enrique. It is his system, his ruthless, detail-oriented personality. He does not care whether you are a superstar or an academy kid, you work for the team or you are out. Dembele, the winger who was a “what-if” to the best player in Europe? Pure coaching

However, youth is still risky. Champions League history says that the winner's hangover is real: once you reach the top of the mountain, most teams come back down hard. PSG has already tasted it. They were fantastic against Atleti, but when Dembélé was not in the line-up, they were unable to finish Botafogo and lost. When the press is not at full strength, or when one of their key players is injured, their so-called chaos system can actually fall apart quite quickly, especially against those well-organized, compact teams that know how to frustrate

[Egii Nna]

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.

I love how you started your comment, you weren't concluding what may likey happen in the upcoming season in UEFA champions league but you feel that the teams you mentioned may likely go far in the competition for next season, I don't see anything bad about your assumption after all the game of soccer is not something we can actually tell what happens at the end but we are free to say things the way we feel which is normal, as for Liverpool doing better in the coming season in this competition, I think they will, because Liverpool has always been a force just that shit happens but I believe they may not be allowing such to happen again this season, they may be coming to this season in another dimension.

I pray they do, even though I don’t have much hope for Liverpool this coming season. But I would like to see them shine more than they did last season.

Football is a game where you just keep predicting until you see the end result. That’s why, whatever you say, it will always fall under probability, and you just hope it happens.

If we’re talking about PSG, we know they will likely go far in the upcoming UEFA Champions League. If for nothing else, they will want to prove that it wasn’t by luck they made it to the previous finals and even won the trophy. So, even if it’s just for the sake of proving themselves, they’ll have to go far in the league.

From all indications, the coming Champions League will be more competitive than last season’s. But let’s wait and see what happens.

[SuperBitMan]

After what you saw, do you think Inter performance deserved to enter the final at that time?

I know Inter Milan didn't perform the way we expected in the UEFA Champions League final, but that shouldn't make us forget the effort and hard work Inter Milan put in to beat their opponents in the UEFA Champions League competition and set up a final with PSG, so I am saying Inter Milan deserves to be in the final.

Mayor of ogba you are right, some people are just saying inter Milan don't deserve to go the final that they should have allowed Barcelona to go to the final, inter Milan is a great club they did there best to make sure they reach the champions League final if Barcelona was that good they would have defeated inter Milan but they couldn't do that, so how are you people sure if it was Barcelona and PSG that played the final PSG won't score them goals more than they scored inter Milan.
PSG is a very strong team and we are seeing it now, and I believe they will still reach the final in next season champions League, and in this club world cup that is going on now there's every possibility that they will still lift it, because they are very inform right now.
As for inter Milan they are strong we can't say they are not because they lost the champions League title this season they tried there best and for the fact they defeated Barcelona to get to the final shows that they are strong and inform.
