Another year of football is over and it's time to start looking ahead to 2026. The Premier League will reach its conclusion in May, with Arsenal looking to win their first title in over two decades - but can the Gunners see the job through this time? Will an English club be crowned champions of Europe? Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are all looking to reach the last 16.

It used to be pretty easy to predict who would win the Ballon d'Or. You could just grab a coin, label heads as " Lionel Messi" and tails as " Cristiano Ronaldo," and flip your coin. Ideally it would be a slightly weighted coin in favor of the Messi side, unless it was one of the many years when Real Madrid won the Champions League -- in which case you'd want to reweight or relabel the sides of the coin -- but you get my point.

Legia Warsaw are arguably the biggest club in Poland and are also the most successful team from the European country. They have won the Polish league title a record 15 times and have also clinched the Polish Cup on 21 occasions.

Ludogorets Razgrad established themselves as a major force in Bulgarian football, winning the First League every year since 2011, bolstering their confidence for UEFA qualifiers.

River Plate, a powerhouse in South American football, looks to secure a Copa Libertadores title, driven by a strong campaign and impressive recent performances.

Real Betis are prepared to bounce back after a heavy defeat, aiming for a strong performance against Valencia, who are struggling in the league.
