Spanish Showdown

German Engineering

Bayer Leverkusen enters as Bundesliga champions under Xabi Alonso, supported by Dutch defender Jeremie Frimpong's remarkable 28 goal contributions last season. They join Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Italian Renaissance

Milanese giants AC Milan and Inter return with Juventus and Atalanta. Napoli faces a challenge without Victor Osimhen but retains creative force Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

PSG leads Ligue 1's charge with Kylian Mbappé staying put and Marco Asensio joining from Madrid. Marseille and Monaco complete France's trio despite limited Champions League experience.

Season Highlights to Anticipate

Format Revolution

The Swiss System replaces traditional groups, creating a 36-team league where each club plays eight matches. This means more big-club clashes and fewer predictable fixtures.

Underdog Stories

Girona, Braga, and HJK Helsinki aim to shock established powers. Can these newcomers replicate Leicester's fairy tale in Europe's elite competition?

Transfer Game-Changers

Liverpool's Rodrygo-Dominik Szoboszlai partnership could redefine their attack, while Real Madrid's tactical coup in signing Trent Alexander-Arnold adds defensive creativity.

Road to Budapest

The tournament begins September 16, 2025, concluding at Budapest's Puskás Aréna on May 30, 2026. With new formats and fresh rivalries, this season promises to blend football heritage with modern innovation.
