I think that Barcelona is falling apart after Messi left them

I agree with you, for a team like Barcelona to be loosing at group stages to a team like benfica is a proof. The Barcelona team was really built around messi for years, now that he is no longer in the team, it is highly expected for them to struggle. I think the coach is on his way out by the way, their performance today was extremely poor.

Benfica humiliated Barcelona who are now like a weak team, Ronald Koemen is not a good coach.

Benfica won 3-0 against Barcelona, I wasn't expecting it. It was a great game for Benfica's team, which showed incredible quality in all sides of the game. The early goal in the game suffered by Barcelona, affected the team a lot. Benfica, on the other hand, had a lot of morale to continue to pressure and hold on to the Spanish team.

Kooman destoryed Barcelona in his time as a coach i think he will be sacked really soon. Didnt see such a big loss from Barcelona to a lower ranked team in a really long time. Also Man Utd won against Villerral with another goal from Ronaldo in the 95th minute

[Spack17]

Chelsea tried everything they could but still there was no goal from them. Juventus managed to score with Chiesa and Bernardeschi made the assist. To be honest, I can't say that it was a really deserved win for Juventus. Chelsea could have scored even a few goals but they were very bad at scoring. One shot on target out of 13 shots is a very bad statistics.

With Barcelona's current performance especially looking at the results of the last few matches, both in the Champions League and La Liga, it will be hard for Kooman to avoid being sacked.
Even though the top management team defended but surely the Barcelona fans would protest massively.
Even though Barcelona's current performance is not entirely Koeman's fault, but that's not a reason for Kooman to stay longer

What else could have been more humiliating as a Barcelona fan, losing to Benfica is such a terrible fashion, no sense of urgency whatsoever from the coach.

I'd be very much surprised if Koeman is still incharge after 24 hours, to games played in the Champions League group stage, 0 goals scored, 6 goals conceded, Barcelona is the new Macabbi Tel Aviv 😒

this is an unexpected victory for juventus, as they are not at all seeded in this match especially with chelsea's consistent performance.
when the match took place during the first half I was so sure chelsea would win this match considering the attacks carried out were quite sporadic from all lines.
but a goal in the early minutes of the second half broke it.
I want to appreciate the Juventus defense that was so consistent during this match, even though they were under pressure but they were able to concentrate and were strong in defending their defense.

[snipie]

Sheriff is a top club!
In fact, I don't even understand how they managed to beat Real Madrid away! This day will be remembered by all of Moldova for a long time!
Brugge also surprised, but not as much as Sheriff!

Brugge winning vs Leipzig could be understood since Leipzig is failing lately but Sheriff winning vs Real Madrid which is doing great so far and leading La Liga table, for real!

Looking forward to today's matches! Maybe Dynamo Kyiv can beat Bayern?

Let's stay realistic a little bit
Bayern humiliation of its opponents continues and they scored 5 goals, 2 by Lewandowski. But wait we have another surprise for today.. Barca's defeat vs Benfica with 3 goals to 0! Same score as their previous match vs Bayern.. Things aren't going well there and Koeman being sacked might be a matter of time.
Mm can I call Chelsea defeat vs Juve as another surprise?

[examplens]

Mm can I call Chelsea defeat vs Juve as another surprise?

for a long time ^{since when did Tuchel come} Chelsea have been playing very well and almost without losing a game. once that series had to come to an end.
It's interesting to me, a few days ago, they play a very defensive game against Man. City and lost it. Today they play against the defensive team and lost this game. I personally don't like that tactic, but I can't say I'm not glad they lost today.

[BIT-BENDER]

Minus 6 goals, no points, no goal, bottom of group E unbelievable this is barcelona I just described in 2021/2022 UEFA champions league, if Messi was just the greatest players of all time, him leaving Barcelona won't have made them this bad, Messi was everything to Barcelona, now is like Barcelona, teeth and claws has been removed, they are so ordinary, losing to Benfica like a team in portuguese lower tier, makes Barcelona a potential prey to athletico Madrid this weekend, I think I would sack koeman now before Barcelona becomes like arsenal.

The match Bayern vs Dynamo Kyiv is a match that is easy to predict, it is proven that Bayern won with a big score. What's interesting is
the defeat of Barcelona and Chelsea, especially Barcelona who can concede up to 3 goals against Benfica, this is really a surprising result.
It seems that with this defeat Koeman's fate is increasingly threatened, I don't know why Barcelona's performances have been so bad this season,
whether it's because losing Messi or Koeman doesn't make Barcelona play well. Then for me the Chelsea defeat was a shock, because we know
Juventus have started the season very badly and have only won the Serie A games in the last two games. While Chelsea won the Champions League
last season, they should have beaten Juventus. Is it possible that the morale of Chelsea's players is falling due to being beaten by Man City in
the Premier League.

I think somehow, Thomas Tuchel and the Chelsea team had this gaming. Juventua is an elite team for sure, far ranked above Chelsea notifying the fact that they are the defending champions.  The lose had got to start from somewhere and it started with there lose to Manchester City in the EPL during the weekend.

Another amazing fact is how a team like Barcelona in the UCL this season, haven't played 2 games this far, lost them both actually and have conceived over 6 goals without scoring anyone! It's shocking for an elite team like this in the Laliga. How hard the mighty has fallen.

[Renampun]

Damn, of the many opportunities Chelsea created but none of them scored...

juventus leads group H. btw juventus is very lucky not to be humiliated by chelsea at home.

Minus 6 goals, no points, no goal, bottom of group E unbelievable this is barcelona I just described in 2021/2022 UEFA champions league, if Messi was just the greatest players of all time, him leaving Barcelona won't have made them this bad, Messi was everything to Barcelona, now is like Barcelona, teeth and claws has been removed, they are so ordinary, losing to Benfica like a team in portuguese lower tier, makes Barcelona a potential prey to athletico Madrid this weekend, I think I would sack koeman now before Barcelona becomes like arsenal.

looks like barca are in crisis, will they be able to qualify for the next round!

[Woodie]

Chelsea beaten one goal to nil in Turin which shows their momentum had slowed down since facing city,could these guys be fatigued from playing city over the weekend and couldn't keep up with Juventus.

Less not forget about on of the favourites of the champions league, Bayern Munich who won with a good number of goals (5 -0 to be exact) sending their intentions that they are here for business and no one will stop them.

And of course we can't end here without acknowledging CR7s contribution that saved united with a 3 points that was needed the most and that also revenged Uniteds loss in the last Europa finals.

Great games witnessed today, hats off to you lads.

[KingsDen]

FCB Champions league misery, Koeman's fault or the financial crisis?
Barcelona should be no where better than the bottom of their group, having lost two group matches consecutively to the big boys of Germany and the underatted Portugal club.
Critically examining the situation, would Koeman have done better or we should blame the management. I think I blame the coach because he is not doing bad in Laliga.
Why did he try three teenagers in UCL or was he thinking De Jong was Messi?

[DIA7]

Triple goals back to back for Barcelona to concede in Champions league competition that made them sit is bottom of a group in which Dynamo Kiev, Benfica and Bayern after two rounds without scoring no goal and in his net 6 goals.
Barcelona did not shoot once against Bayern and did not shoot once against Benfica.
Everything is negative in Barca and Koeman is still on the job. Most likely not for too long.
I had a good feeling that Benfica would win this game but didn't think that Barcelona will be at this bad and have nothing to show for.
4 games left for Barcelona and their chances to advance are getting very slim.

Freakin unlucky chelsea, but classic italian club tactic to use counter attack...  its been predicted but they keep it till the last minute, well done allegri.
lukaku should have scored if he just make a little touch to chip the ball through sczesny dammit, freakin unlucky.

about barcelona crazy poor form, i just think that it is the greatest time to bet on barcelona to get through group phase  it must have really really nice odds! go allin!

Bayern is been too brutal this season I think Barcelona was a bit lucky not to have been disgraced much enough in their earlier match with Bayern. Bayern vs Dynamo was full of humiliation as described at op but we weren't expecting less to be sincere. 5:0 was just a perfect score lone with brilliant finish from lewandoski.

For Barcelona vs Benfica I will say Barcelona isn't full on form this season. They have lots of work to do to replace the legends that have left the club and also build a good working teammates. It's too obvious Barcelona wouldn't make it through the group stage

I wouldn't say that we couldn't keep up, Juventus just scored one more goal. In general, Juventus at least scored something, unlike Chelsea Bayern Munich has already put on stream the defeat of its rivals both in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League, and soon the fact of a major loss from Bayern will probably no longer serve as a factor of great upset for the rivals Even if Cristiano Ronaldo was going to rest and was not going to score in the current round of the Champions League, the very fact that his sworn friend Lionel Messi scored a goal undoubtedly forced the Portuguese to make every effort and respond with his goal in the last minutes

probably in group E Barcelona and Dynamo Kyiv will compete for the 3rd place which gives a possibility to play in Europa League. with current performance Barcelona don't deserve to qualify for the next stage of Champions League.
