The league phase of the 2025-2026 Champions League is approaching, with a scheduled start on 16, 17 and 18 September. This historic second phase will see 36 teams competing in the eighth of the final, with a total of eight games to qualify. Three French clubs, the PSG, AS Monaco and Olympique de Marseille, are among the participants and aim to rank in the top 24 or more. However, according to Opta’s statistical analysis, the task will not be easy for these teams, especially for OM, which is predicted in 31st position out of 36 with 37.31% chance of qualifying. The PSG, despite a difficult schedule, should qualify directly in the eighth final, while the AS Monaco will have to fight to qualify as a dam, given its predicted 21st place.

AS Monaco unveiled its list of 25 players for the next Champions League campaign, including 8 young people from the training centre. This list, published by UEFA, includes key players such as Lukas Hrádecky, Philipp Köhn and Jules Stawiecki, as well as young talents such as Vanderson and Ilane Touré. The team consists of a mix of experience and potential, with players of different nationalities and profiles, aiming to ensure a solid performance in the competition.

The composition of the AS Monaco team reflects a balanced strategy, with players able to adapt to different game styles and promising young people ready to make a place. The inclusion of young players trained in the club demonstrates AS Monaco’s investment in its future and its willingness to build a sustainable team. The main objective is to outperform Opta’s predictions and qualify for the final stages of the Champions League, while providing a rewarding experience for young players.
