Prediction of Champions League Contenders: Top 10 Teams Likely to Win the Premier European Trophy in 2025/26 Season
Champions League Power Shifts: A Season of Anticipation
As the footballing world gears up for another thrilling Champions League campaign, several teams are making their intentions clear. Paris Saint-Germain, fresh off their triumphant run last season, are aiming to become the first club to retain the title since Real Madrid in 2018.
Last season's finalists, Inter Milan, will be looking to turn their loss into a win this time around. Despite a change in management with Simone Inzaghi stepping down and Cristian Chivu taking the helm, they will be eager to challenge PSG once more.
The road to Budapest for the Champions League final begins in September, with the final set for May 30, 2026. It promises to be a long and gruelling journey, but one that teams are eager to embark upon.
Bayern Munich, who have won the Champions League twice in the past 14 seasons, are another team to watch out for. Despite a disappointing exit in the quarter-finals last season, they have bolstered their squad with the signing of Luis Diaz, and will be hoping to claim their seventh European title.
Meanwhile, Manchester City's poor start to the new Premier League season has cast doubts on their Champions League prospects. Barcelona, limited by off-field issues, have young talents like Pedri and Lamine Yamal in their squad, but their European ambitions remain to be seen.
Liverpool, who have spent significantly in the summer transfer window, are aiming to do better in Europe this season. However, they face stiff competition from teams like Napoli, who won the Serie A title last season but have never progressed beyond the quarter-finals in the Champions League.
Arsenal, who reached the semi-finals last season, have strengthened their squad over the summer and will be looking to go one step further this time around.
Real Madrid, who have started the new La Liga season with a 100% record, have replaced Carlo Ancelotti with Xabi Alonso. Their impact in the Champions League will be keenly awaited.
