The UEFA Champions League 2025/26 has begun, and for the first time, the final will be played at Hungary’s Puskás Aréna.
The new Champions League format continues for a second season, having started in 2024 and running through to 2027. The traditional group stage is gone, replaced by a single 36-team league table where every club plays eight matches against different opponents.

Champions League Predictions ¼ finals second leg
Arsenal – Sporting CP
Tip: Arsenal to win
Arsenal really topped the tree in the Champions League group phase and showed a level of consistency that few others can match. And when it comes down to it, their home form is about as solid as it gets – they usually manage to shut teams down when they’re playing at the Emirates. Having seen Sporting get knocked out by the likes of Manchester City and Bayern in the past, I reckon Arsenal should be able to take the win pretty comfortably.
Atl. Madrid – Barcelona
Tip: Both teams to score
At the Metropolitano, Atlético Madrid are a different kettle of fish altogether – you only have to look back at their 4-0 thrashing of Barcelona earlier this season to see that. And while Barça’s attack can be pretty unstoppable – you don’t see too many teams shutting them out for 90 minutes – Atletico have showed they’ve got the goods to hold their own too – Sorloth and Griezmann have proven they can pop up with a vital goal when needed. So you can bet they will likely be trading blows in what will be a real humdinger of a domestic derby.
Bayern Munich – Real Madrid
Tip: Over 2.5
The Real vs Bayern match is probably the most played fixture in all of European football – for good reason: it’s always a spectacle. Their last meeting at the Allianz Arena was a 2-2 draw – and given Bayern are averaging well over 3 goals per match at home this season and Real Madrid have got some real clinical finishers like Vinícius Júnior, you can bet the scoreboard is gonna be busy.
Liverpool – PSG
Tip: Liverpool to win
Anfield is one of the toughest venues for any French opposition in the world – and Liverpool have historically been really good against the top teams in Europe when they’ve been at home. And despite PSG being the current holders, the way Liverpool took it to Galatasaray and managed to thump them 4-0 in the last round really shows they’re got the “European nights” factor working for them – so I think they can take down PSG pretty comfortably at home.
