📯2026/27 Champions League Pool | ⚽️ Discussion

[LTU_btc]

Champions League craziness is here and we have very strange results today in some matches.
I was lucky to win some points from under 2.5 goals in Slavia Prague match, but I just blew it with Inter who is doing terribly at home with Club Brugge.
I am blaming everything on boring nations league matches and big break that cubs had so early in the season.
Maybe results tomorrow will be better for me, but I feel like I am watching results from another planet.

But there is things that doesn't changes - MU But yeah, what Viking did is very unexpected. With their and Bodo/Glimt performances I'm starting to think that Norwegian league is one of best in Europe.
Crazy game between Inter and Brugge. 3.93 and 4.26 xG - I can't remember such high number from both teams. And these numbers reflects game quite well.
At one moment when Barca were down 2:0 against Galatasaray, I thought that we are in big problem. But fortunately there was offside, and after it we already saw same Barca like we see in most games this season.

Who would believe that Villarreal would pull up a comeback to win the game at 3-1? E

From all things that you mentioned, I don't think that Villarreal did something crazy. It's not that they were down by 2 or 3 goals.

What is happening with the big teams in the Champions league? Most games started off on a wrong foot and ended quite the opposite of the expectations of many. Who would believe that Vikings would give Bayern Munich a two goals lead? Who would believe that Villarreal would pull up a comeback to win the game at 3-1? Even with the Barca game too, Galatasaray made quite an impressive start with a fumbled end, in completion I'm in awe as to the outcomes of all games today.

As for bayern munich game  I wasn't surprised, perhaps you have not been following them up when they are playing in their domestic league because this is exactly how they perform in their domestic league allowing underdog teams to took the lead then after that they will be struggling to equalize. It is just like what happened in their previous match against augsburg, they nearly loss against augsburg and that's exactly what would have happened tonight. To be honest Bayern munich is no longer performing as they used to don't really know what's the problem i think the coach should look for a way to fix it before it get worst.

That's just how football is..I make my predictions, but I do so with an open mind since the result could just take a whole new turn and bring about an unexpected results...It was that Bayern Munich vs Vikings that shocked me the most..To Bayern as well as many of us, Vikings is just an underdog team which Bayern should have no problem trashing, but it wasn't as easy as we all imagined..Even with how Bayern dominated the game afterwards, the results still ended with a draw...Though that Red card given to Michael Olise was infact the major reason why the matches ended with that draw... Nevertheless the way it is unpredictable is what adds up and contributes to why football matches interesting, it just can't be predicted like other sports can...

Yesterday I was so tired that I fell asleep directly after work and woke up today morning only to check the results of yesterday games which look shocking to say the least. Bayern Munchen, Inter and a few others were not able to win at all in their games despite their ridiculous odds they had by the bookmakers. Well let's hope different results for tonight games and I think I again skipped penalty here as most probably got over 5.5 correct in Bayern Munchen game.

[slaman29]

Wow man, I picked Over 2.5 for Slavia Prague expecting a 3-0 and above score at halftime but instead Sabah scored 2 and kept a clean sheet.

I don't know why I didn't go for my own team but I guess I didn't want to jinx them. No Raphinha no problem I guess

Yesterday games were short of my expectations, and that could be a sign that this year Champions league might likely see some big teams eliminated in the earlier stage because the underdogs are not making it easy anymore. The Vikings game against Bayern Munich was the most surprising result because the bookmakers gave them 21.00 odds to win, quite a ridiculous odd that ended in a draw.

Bayern Munich has not being at their best recently and its truly disappointing, especially after their draw in their last match too, with their opponent having the lead again. I would really hope that today's game is different and Real Madrid does not disappoint us.

It seems like a decent result for the group stage to me. They even managed a draw while playing a man down. As for Bayern's overall form, everything is fine with it also, no one is planning a peak in shape for the fall. Look at PSG - they’re absolute rubbish right now, but they’ll be in top shape by spring. Kompany knows the Bundesliga is in the pocket and is setting his sights on the Champions League, what is happening right now has nothing to do with the serious business ahead, so it should be evaluated accordingly.

This two clubs you just mentioned,  we've known them as a top teams  in their domestic league and we knew when they're doing well. PSG is know performing the way we expected them to performed, Secondly if their focus is to win champions league again i think they're getting it wrong because it might not favoured them this season, all they need to do focus mostly on their. They've won champions league back to back now there's nothing to worry about again, but if they think of winning champions this very season they'll be surprised of playing all competitions without any trophies.

Talking about Vincent kompany having Bundesliga in his pockets, if truly that's what he think this time around it won't work for him. That he won Bundesliga twice now doesn't mean that he'll still win it this season, if he continue with the his players are performing right now he might went home with zero trophies, he really want to win trophy he should perform both domestic and Europe's competitions.

Bayern surprised me yesterday I never imagined that Bayern performance will be at point of struggling to end draw, the strength of Bayern even with ball possession, I will consider them having a hard time yesterday game wasn't their expectations, football is not a straight or direct movement just like what is happening to man united lost yesterday against atletico Madrid not even a single goal, it's showing little statistics that bigger team is paving way for smaller team this season most now they came back from the break only man city and arsenal that have maintain their stand majority or the team hardly impressed to many expectations on them.

It was another wonder shall never end, the beautiful game has always been like unexpected. Bayern Munich has failed all their supporters yesterday and lucky that it was a shared point instead of a total loss. Even if the match was going to be six goals it is Bayern Munich having more goals, many never expected a draw.

[xzone]

As I expected, Galatasaray fans were extremely hostile towards Barcelona today and some how I think it worked because this isn't Barcelona as it's finest even though it's only the first half I still believe that it wasn't a complete one sided game.
Lamine Yamal need to get involved more into the game, I would also like to see the inclusion of Gabriel Jesus in the second half because Barcelona has been lacking a real striker up front, it is level now and everyone still have a chance.

Galatasaray didn't play badly, but they lost the match; however, I think they earned the respect of many. Perhaps if Barış Alper Yılmaz's goal hadn't been ruled offside, or if Barcelona's first goal had been offside, the result wouldn't be the same. It was an enjoyable match to watch; both teams did their best. The difference in quality between the squads is huge; it would have been a mistake to expect Barcelona to struggle. I'm sure most people who bet said Barcelona would win, so this match result didn't surprise anyone

Yesterday was packed with a lot of surprise results. Sabah started with a shocker against Slavia. I know that they are both teams that will maybe end below 24th position, but I didn't believe that Sabah had any chance against a team like Slavia. And later, Viking and Club Brugge delivered superb performances. Viking scored on almost every chance they made, while Club Brugge, on the other hand, was generously gifted by Inter—some amateurish play was displayed by Inter in that game.

[darxiaomi]

Seems like we dont see so much randomness in the domestic league games after the international break but we see all the randomness here, i was expecting to see Brugge doing a good game in Milan but i was not expecting them to win, i was also not sure about Slavia Praga against Sabah but i didnt see them losing that clear.

And about Vikings..... another Bodo in the making it seems, super crazy games yesterday, are we gonna have the same for today?

[leea-1334]

Well,,, still bottom of the leaderboard but at least I am safe early without another penalty  Hoping for some very nice surprise tonight where my stake is to catch up with all you guys.

Exactly. I think we have to look at Sabah and Vikings. Especially maybe at home they are capable of doing something special, I mean what was the odds for a draw? And they almost won to be honest.

Hope we get just as good games, I am staying up!

I don't know why you are not surprised,  because I was really surprised. I really don't care how they have been performing in the Bundesliga,  I was really expecting them to win yesterday,  so I was really surprised by the result. I watched the replay of the match today and I must confess that Vikings did really well and they deserve the draw they got. They were fearless and were very good when they attack. It might be true that Bayern Munich underrated them, but like I said we also have to give kudos to the Vikings team for their courage to play the way they did against such a big team.

If the new Bodo is successful, then the old one must fail? After all, we can't exactly have too many Bodos. I hope this logic works today, since I bet on Dortmund 
The only thing that shocked me about Inter's result was that Martinez scored two goals. I didn't see how it happen, but no matter how many times I watched Inter play before, Lautaro seemed simply wooden to me.
In national championships, teams play with greater focus, since dropped points there cannot be recovered. The Champions League matches so far are just warm-ups. But today I hope for adequate results, cash bets are at stake.

Yesterday's game was one of the most unexpected outcomes with these big teams, nobody would have that result coming from these small teams. Today's game might produce same result but we could watch to see how that would turn out.

Como have taken the lead against Feyenoord and they are looking like they would cement the win, but there is still a possibility that we could see both teams to score in this game too. Real Madrid match should one exciting game to watch today, alongside Man City vs PSG too.

Club Brugge BTTS yes, the multiplier is above 5 right? Damn Inter, if a little bit destroyed the points I expected, even though it was not a penalty and now some games are still running.
@Buwa pretty confident Inter vs Brugge over 5.5... he seems to have a strong instinct.

And about Vikings..... another Bodo in the making it seems, super crazy games yesterday, are we gonna have the same for today?

Don't forget to mention AS Roma here, who knows now they are an unpredictable team again..

Hope we get just as good games, I am staying up!

Expect the favorite team to win... several bets have been placed on the club.

[notblox1]

Would you look at Liverpool scoring like crazy!  
This would be a perfect bet on over 6.5 goals with huge odds, but sadly I cant predict the future.
So far I collected 13.50 points and that is not bad considering what happened yesterday, but I need to step up and get more points today.
buwaman have most points in this round, but lets wait and see full results and final points later.

Nations League messes up everything, that is my theory.

Norweigian vikings are not a joke anymore when they play at home.

If you placed that bet, congratulations to you. Had the opportunity of staking on that option nd still get a huge odd when the game was at but I didn't have the guts to, that's a very huge odd, anyone who took the risk and stake a fair high anount would've won lots of cash. Anyway, I hope people can now see why PSG'S manager rested most of his first team players, the Champions league is very important to them and they're proving it by beating Manchester City 3 nil currently.

Nations League messes up everything, that is my theory.

Well that's a fair point but if the manager had rested his important players like PSG'S manager did, maybe the wouldn't had performed so bad, he underrated his opponent that's why their performance wasn't really good.
