⭐ Champions League 2025-26: our 10 favourites | OneFootball

The 2025-26 Champions League kicks off... this Tuesday night! OneFootball presents its 10 favorites for the final victory!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Liverpool, FC Barcelona

Having finished in the top two positions of the previous league phase, Liverpool and FC Barcelona are the two big favorites for this 2025-26 Champions League.

Unfortunately for them, last year, they were knocked out by the two finalists, PSG and Inter.

The Reds’ massive investment in the summer transfer window, with the arrivals of Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, and Hugo Ekitike in particular, allows them to boast the most impressive squad in Europe this season.

As for Barça, the Catalan club approaches this new campaign with great ambitions, driven by the exceptional level of play from last season. A considerable advantage: the Blaugranas return to Camp Nou this season...

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Paris Saint-Germain

The defending champions are also among the big favorites!

If PSG shows the same level of play and physical form as last season, Paris won’t be far from a “back to back” win.

However, the 2024-25 season was particularly exhausting, and the many physical setbacks experienced at the start of the 2025-26 season are cause for concern...

Pulling off the double would be a real feat!

⭐⭐⭐

Real Madrid, Arsenal, Man. City, Bayern

Real Madrid and Manchester City are the big contenders for revenge in this 2026 edition of the Champions League.

After two trophyless seasons, the Spanish and English clubs will surely want to erase that by claiming the most prestigious competition this year.

Watch out for Arsenal as well, who, like Liverpool, have greatly strengthened their squad this summer.

Bayern Munich, led by a sensational Michael Olise - Harry Kane duo at the start of this season, are also serious contenders for the final victory.

⭐⭐

Inter, Chelsea, Atlético de Madrid

As finalists, Inter, although struggling at the start of the Serie A season, will be eager to avenge the humiliation of May 31, 2025, against PSG.

Chelsea, reigning world champions, could join the fight if the level of play shown by Cole Palmer and his teammates resembles what we saw this summer in the United States.

Finally, watch out for Atlético de Madrid and Diego Simeone. Cholismo often comes alive on the European stage...

And for you, who are the big favorites for this 2025-26 edition of the Champions League?
