uh oh, is that... 👀

Hahahaha nice one. But i think its early to think that. Inter can easily lose in Barcelona and after that Inter can be in big trouble, in  the past year Inter always strugled to pass the round so i think we can have the same here.

One match really surprise me was the Ajax Napoli 6-1 its a bit too much.

memes about Barca In Europa League are were all of my twitter feed last night, EL dragging them into
but, there is a match in Barcelona as well, and they have home match with Bayern, while Inter is playing in Munich

Napoli scoring six is brutal, but Ajax is not playing defensive football, so it end up that way after first three, Ajax tried to get back into

Salah and TAA scoring, would be nice for my FPL team

[swogerino]

Not that great results for me in Champions League today, and I didn't expect much since I made my predictions in just few minutes.
No exact score, only three close predictions on Bayern, Porto and Liverpool win, and rest of it is five wrong predictions.
I wasn't the worst but I am not satisfied, and I expected Tottenham and Barcelona to win, but I hope better results are coming tomorrow.
Well done KTChampions and tomahawk9

Well, I couldn't agree any more with you, totally awkward set of results in majority of the games, Ajax losing 6-1 Napoli, who could have saw that coming, and Marseille also were also rampant today, but then Tottenham and Atletico Madrid actually were the ones who ruined majority of my betslips.

And then there's Barcelona playing somewhat a good game but lost and are that's another dent on their hope for qualification for the next round. I strongly tomorrow fixture are rather more straight forward.

Yes today fixtures in theory should be easier to predict but again this only remains theory.I am surprised at the Champions League results of the group stage games during this year,I don't remember the group stages to offer so many surprise results here in the previous years.This means that even teams who were once considered weak are not weak anymore and thus this is the reason why we are seeing such results.

I also didn't do well in the predictions but at least I moved forward to places,still lurking in the near end of the standings though but it is still early and there is room for improvement further.

Barca moved or moving to Europa League sounds strange by the way.

Let's give you all some clue of the knowledge I have about any other league. I switched from Liverpool match to Barca match after Liverpool scoring their 2nd goal. I was watching the Barca match and wondering what happened to Lionel Messi. I was looking for him in the Barca squad before laughed myself knowing that he is in PSG LOL.
So if I am getting some points from the pool then it's because I am trowing stones in the dark and some of them are hitting the spot 🤣

Eight match today. Any insight for the matches from anyone?

Well Inter had an amazing tactic in this match and won barely but now with a good position they would need a draw in Barcelona to make things a lot easier. Barcelona to move to europe league isnt a surprise that happened before as well and they didnt even play good in the europe league,they got knocked out early.

[slaman29]

Oh man guys, remember what I said about staying up late to watch Barca and coming to work feeling like total zombie for not sleeping, and worse, they lost. Forgive me if I have no more mood for tonight's games

Two games now we actually played quite ok and still lose, I guess we are just really shitty when playing away.

I hope we get revenge in both games on home because... terrible.

I would also argue that Barca received quite unfair refereeing, maybe not outright criminal decisions but more then enough to be unhappy with ref.

First they got goal disallowed for handball and then they did not get penalty for handball in last minutes of the match. At least one of those shiuld have gone to Barca favour.

I heard Ajax players did not want to exchange their shirts after the match. Bit of a dick move, you should be gentlemen even after receiving a trashing.

[Pulsar77]

Many people waited for Barcelona to win against Inter including me as well. However Barcelona failed really hard. My prediction was a 2-1 Barcelona win. Actually this could have happened if Barcelona had more goal attempts. The second half was really surprising. Even though they were still in control in terms of ball possession they had only 2 goal attempts in total. They didn't have even one shot on target I mean.

However I believe that VAR messed up big time. They should have handed the penalty to Barcelona there. Because Inter were saved from conceding a goal due to Fati's handball and this was the same thing too. VAR should have made the same decisions for both of them. If even VAR system makes mistakes like this then I don't know how they can find a permanent solution to this.

[bullrun2024bro]

The current 3rd round is still pretty close. Almost all players still have a chance to win the matchday yellow cap before today's games on Wednesday.

Currently tomahawk9 and KTChampions are leading the table with 8.5 points.

But no worries, I'll pick the score outcomes today and get my second matchday win. 

Good luck everyone!

Barcelona should have at least not lost this match, these are too big mistakes for a referee in a match of this level, this is the Champions League and there is no place for such mistakes. Barcelona will win at the Camp Nou, they will play with even more motivation to show their superiority. At the moment, there has not been a big tragedy, but if it happens that Baselona cannot leave the group (which I doubt), the question of refereeing in this match will be raised more than once. By the way, Inter played not bad in defense, but they won not deservedly.

Now UEFA will also consider the incident that happened after the match, when the referee ignored Lewandowski and Lewandowski tried to stop him, with his hand so that he would not leave. Security stopped Lewandowski, but now UEFA is looking into the incident and Lewandowski could face a three-match disqualification.

[Igebotz]

They should get used to it; they were there last season and nearly missed out on European competition the year before. Xavi's obsession with Spanish players would destroy the team and cost him his job very quickly; you have a player like Kessie on the beach while overrated Spanish players like Gavi and Pedri enjoy a lot of playing time. Even if they make it through the groups stage, they will not make it past the knockout stage.

After years of influencing UEFA Champions League officials, they are finally receiving a taste of their own medicine. When you're playing poorly, it's easy to blame the ref for one or two errors, but their shot on goal doesn't look like a team that performed well enough to earn a point.

did not saw the incident, but yeah, Barca probably expected more from this match, and it is easier to blame the referee, than to analyze your own play

what happened to Brugge, they have maximum points on top of their group, really unexpected IMO, and with Porto home win, they are almost qualified for next round, with 9 points, all other teams are on 3

i don't wanna get too excited, it's still very early, but i think Napoli are going to win the Champions League this season   🤣

Salah and TAA scoring, would be nice for my FPL team

They needed this. Winning games, being involved in the scoreline and just positive vibes all around. Might be a turning point for Liverpool

Eight match today. Any insight for the matches from anyone?

my predictions: Benfica are gonna give PSG a run for their money (i went with a cheeky bet: Benfica -1 handicap at 6.8 ). Chelsea-AC Milan could be a goal fest. Dortmund are going to win and Sevilla will sack the manager. City will smash Copenhagen. And Juventus will probably drop points.

Xavi is not obsessed with Spanish players imo, there are certain changes needed in the team but it's definitely not Pedri and Gavi, anyone paying close attention to the club would also tell you this, Kessie brings a different energy to the team but Gavi is just like white Ngolo Kante and his work rate in the team is almost next to none, while Pedri is very dynamic as well, they don't provide the same characteristic to the squad, and 3 of them can actually co-exist, but I actually prefer limitation for Sergio Busquets he's become obsolete imo, and Sergi Roberto, but Gavi and Pedri are definitely not overrated by any stretch.

In other words, you believe both players are better than Kessie? Lol, a high work rate without vision doesn't win games, but Kessie is a game changer. Gavi and Pedric will not start in a more serious team like Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG, or Bayern Munich, and your claim that Xavi is not obsessed with Spanish players is false; the same Xavi wanted Morata, Apzi ,H. Bellerin and Alonso in the same transfer window; these players are now old and bench players, and a serious manager will not look this way. He wishes to form a Spanish team.

The fact that Sergio Busquets and Pique continue to play every game is sufficient proof..

Bruh! what are you saying ? Azpi and Alonso and what not are mere the cheapest option given the current club financial problem, mentioning Pique literally means you're not following the team, you're just being speculative, Pique have not started any relevant game this season, and the same goes for the intially seemingnly untouchable Jordi Alba. Saying Gavi and Pedri wouldn't play in teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich or PSG is just another form of ignorance because these teams play the likes of Foden, Musiala, Valverde, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and Tchouameni often, that's to mention at least one from each team you mentioned but Gavi and Pedri are the problem ? Lol. If Kessie was that important he sure should have been left to run out of contract.

Agree that Benfica should challenge PSG tonight. Not sure if they can get some points but they should be able to score a goal or two and make it very interesting. Probably the game to watch for me. I don't expect much from Chelsea and Milan, maybe 1:1 draw without much chances.

Dortmund is missing a lot of important players and I don't think they will be able to win. I smell another draw here. Agree for City and Juve, but my opinion does not mean much anyway since I lost CL touch and can't get a prediction right no matter what.

[Igebotz]

Bruh! what are you saying ? Azpi and Alonso and what not are mere the cheapest option given the current club financial problem

And you buy nearly everything on the market? You spent more than most top financial stable clubs, with about €154m spent on three players. Apzi and Alonso were not the only less expensive options; to be honest, their nationality was more important.

mentioning Pique literally means you're not following the team, you're just being speculative, Pique have not started any relevant game this season, and the same goes for the intially seemingnly untouchable Jordi Alba

Lol, a serious team would not have Pique in his current state; he's getting more game time than he should, he's been loyal and has contributed significantly to the club's success, but it's all over for him. He should have left earlier in the season.

Saying Gavi and Pedri wouldn't play in teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich or PSG is just another form of ignorance because these teams play the likes of Foden, Musiala, Valverde, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and Tchouameni often, that's to mention at least one from each team you mentioned but Gavi and Pedri are the problem?

This is similar to how the Spanish media overhyped Bojan, who ended up being a flop at Stoke City. I don't rate Vitinha or Nuno, but compare the G/A of Foden and Musiala to that of Pedri and Gavi.

Tchouameni is a modern-day DM who changes the game.

Both Pedri and Gavi are not bad players, but their statistics are far below what the Spanish media believes. They will improve in time because they are still young.
.

Lol. If Kessie was that important he sure should have been left to run out of contract.

Wow what logic!!! Messi, Rudiger, Sanchez, and Andrea Christiansen are all shits because their contracts with their previous clubs expired, right? The contract has nothing to do with the player's ability; the player has the right to decline an extension and join any club of their choosing.

You are being fanatic

[KTChampions]

It was close. And to be honest, I was 99% confident in Inter (in the pool I guessed the correct score), Marseille and Bayern. I added the English teams just out of greed and was punished - and by the way, rightly so, since I myself have been advising everyone to avoid betting on Liverpool for a long time, but I myself added Liverpool to the multibet  

[Harkorede]

snip... Fanatic ?

I really just wish you can hold an actual debate, without derailing the main point and or just driving a narrative, and being just factual.

I strongly plead with any other 5 top players from this pool to please just put out an opinion on this question;
@Trofo @Buwaytress @ LTU_BTC @casperBGD @tomahawk9


1. Are Pedri and Gavi actually overrated ?
2. Do you think Pedri and Gavi will struggle under a Guardiola system ?
3. Will Foden and Musiala have thrived much better than Pedri and Gavi under the recent/current Barcelona team ?

I'm pretty much just fine with a Yes or No.
