UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

[tusandii]

I was happy to see Bayern Munich getting that win against Dynamo Zagreb but I knew that was a mid team and enough folks on here gave enough praise to Vincent Kompany after that game. I wanted to see him against a tactically sound manager and he didn't do so well against Bayern Leverkusen and now Aston Villa ( Xabi Alonso and  Unai Emery ) sometimes I feel like he's not a good replacement for Thomas Tuchel but, enough games ahead to see if he'll be able to win the Bundesliga League Competition. Bayern Leverkusen and Aston Villa has just shown the world the weakness of Vincent Kompany..

I agree. Bayern Munich’s weaknesses have just been exposed by Bayern Leverkusen and Aston Villa and like I said before in another thread, other opponents will now have the courage to face Bayern Munich without much pressure. I hope Vincent Kompany is able to change this impression in the coming games either in the domestic league or in the Champions League tournament.

It is not easy to face the team coached by Xabi Alonso or the team coached by Unai Emery because they are both in their best form but that does not mean we can conclude that other clubs will dare to face Bayern Munich because this club is not as weak as you imagine, maybe Bayern Munich lost against Aston Villa and got a draw against Leverkusen but that is not something that will continue to happen when facing other clubs I am sure Vincent Kompany will soon correct his team's mistakes and will start the real match again.

Munich will travel to Barcelona in the next match in the Champions League, seeing 2 less than satisfactory matches for Munich, Kompany must be able to restore the warmth of the media with what he has done before, and in my opinion Munich will work harder to be able to achieve good results in the next match in the Bundesliga they will meet Frankfurt which is also a strong team in my opinion this will be an important assessment of how Munich will be in the future when the Champions League continues against Barcelona.

Barcelona itself has been quite good lately with their former coach Munich and who once embarrassed Barca with the massacre, will this be a momentum for Barcelona to be able to beat Munich again I think it could happen, because Munich under Kompany's guidance is still not consistent enough with their victory and I really look forward to this meeting and I think in this match there will be another dramatic incident.

[hyudien]

The 3 games ahead of Bayern Munich are all tough games for them. First they will face Frankfurt who are just below them in the Bundesliga standings, second they will face Stuttgart who although on paper are on Bayern Munich's side, but they can give a surprise, and lastly they will face Barcelona in the Champions League. Focusing on their match against Barcelona, ​​actually they have a good record when facing Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona is also in good shape now, so this will be a tough game for both teams. On the other hand Barcelona will also definitely try hard to improve their meeting record with Bayern Munich.

Before Munich thinks about the next opponent in the Champions League, today Munich must be able to prepare a better strategy to be able to win at Frankfurt's home. Because if Munich can lose in the match they will play today, of course their position will be taken over by Frankfurt, but if the result is a draw, Frankfurt's position may be disturbed by Leipzig if Leipzig can win in today's away match. Now Kompany's task is starting to look harder because in a short time they have to continue to face fairly strong opponents including the next opponent in the Champions League, namely Barcelona which has also had quite good changes in its performance sector.

[Litzki1990]

Bayern Munich's draw against Leverkusen was acceptable, but Bayern Munich's loss to Aston Villa in a crucial Champions League match was unacceptable. It is normal for Leverkusen to draw in the local league against stronger teams and stronger teams than Aston Villa, but losing to a team like Aston Villa in an important match like the Champions League is not really normal. lready this season, Bayern Munich are expected to win the local league title as well as do well in the Champions League. If they perform like this at the moment, we have to forget that Bayern Munich can win the Bundesliga title or qualify for the semi-finals or final of the Champions League.

Aston Villa under Unai Emery became a good team, so it is not surprising that Aston Villa became a team that had a good improvement in the Premier League and also had at least good results in the current Champion League. For me, Aston Villa's victory is a fairly reasonable result, because in my judgment that Aston Villa might also only be able to hold Bayern Munich to a draw,  but who would have thought that the goal that occurred in the 79th minute occurred and made Bayern Munich lose. After all, that Aston Villa also had a goal disallowed for offside in the first half and thus, the fact that Aston Villa was very successful in maximizing the slightest opportunity  to make a goal, because  in that match that Bayern Munich also only focused on attacking.

Some teams have become known for performing well in the Champions League. Before the start of every season we discuss the Champions League tournament and we always put the big teams ahead for these tournaments. In other words, Arsenal, Manchester City, Bayern Munich are the big teams. And every season any two of these teams make it to the finals and any one of the two teams becomes the champion. But think for a moment when any other team outside of these known teams does well in the Champions League, how much discussion will be made in the football world about that team. Aston Villa are the new team in the Champions League so expectations will always be high and expect them to perform very well in the next Champions League matches as well.

Bayern is in a time of big challenge, and this is where Kompany skills will be put to test again since they are playing three strong clubs consecutively. I believe that Kompany might win his domestic matches, but I can't say about winning Barcelona who is also in good form and hot. I hope that Kompany will have learnt his mistakes from the last two matches that he was unable to win and work on them, otherwise his opponents will take advantage of those laxity.

Barcelona is playing at home and that is the main reason why Kompany needs to put in his best to prove he deserves coaching a big club like Bayen if he can win the match, but a draw will be cool.

IMO, domestic matches do not put any pressure on Munich. It is clear that Kompany is starting to know what strategy is suitable to use to maintain his position in the UCL and in the Bundesliga standings.
To face Barcelona later, Munich is still favored because in H2H both teams always have very clear results that Munich can always beat Barcelona. And currently in terms of player quality, Munich is far superior.
So this will be an interesting match without having to worry about the results obtained by Munich.

Munich consistency will be tested today when they face Frankfurt, so far Munich is still able to be an unbeaten team in the league so facing Frankfurt who are currently also unbeaten in 6 consecutive matches in all competitions will obviously be a test for Kompany to maintain their positive trend in the Bundesliga, while in the Champions League of course Frankfurt is still better than Munich who just got a defeat to Aston Villa,  But in my opinion of the 3 matches you mentioned, of course the match against Barcelona will be the most interesting match later, because so far Barcelona has a bad record every time they meet Munich, so this is an opportunity for Barcelona to improve their record, especially now that they are being coached by a coach who has coached Munich previously,but I think it's too far for us to think about the two matches this time (Munich vs Stuttgart and Barcelona), because after all, there will be many changes to the performance and condition of the players of the two teams later after the international break ends.

[SatoPrincess]

Villa's only goal was purely Neuer's fault. He too often left his position. I don't know what the heck he was doing, but it's really bothering me to see that. He should just stand up, then wait in his position instead of always leaving his position.

Bayern Munich did a lot of pressure on this game. But, Villa's keeper excelled and reduced it.  They're so damn unfortunate in this game. Their player, Gnabry, got several chances to score, but he was so awful by missed it all.

I believe when it is not your day things will go wrong and even the right ideas won’t work out, probably it was not a good day for Bayern Munich because with all those chances created they should have at least gotten a draw. I am not trying to say Aston Villa were not good on the day they were outstanding, for them to force Neuer into making mistakes is also a plus and credit to them. Aston Villa have made their presence in the competition known with this win.

[Distraction]

Now we have a long break for the next matches like a little more than 2 weeks. Let's carry out an evaluation about the progress so far.

Dortmund are the king around here after the first 2 matches.    Yeah I know, they didn't have very challenging opponents against themselves. But still the football they played in each one of them was just magnificent.

Brest's being in the 2nd position is really unexpected. I mean it is natural to defeat Sturm Graz. But doing it against Salzburg away by 4-0? That was a huge work done there. 

I just can't overlook the improvement in Benfica's effort in the CL also. They weren't able to collect proper amount of points in the recent years. But defeating Atletico Madrid in such a way? That is so extra.

Bayern Munich have been in great form since the start of this season. Bayern Munich won most of the matches by big margins. But in the last two matches, we have not seen a better performance than Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich shared points with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga match. Bayern Munich dominated the match but could not get full points in the match.

The result of the Aston Villa vs Munich match in the Champions League match was surprising. None of us were prepared to see such results. There is no way to say that Aston Villa are a very strong team. Although this match was an away match of Munich, Bayern Munich was the favorite in this match. But Bayern Munich players could not score a single goal. Bayern Munich dominated the match, but Aston Villa won. I would say Kompany needs to be more conscious in choosing match tactics. Match strategy should be made by identifying the opponent's weaknesses. If not, Munich will not be able to maintain the winning streak.

So this will be an interesting match without having to worry about the results obtained by Munich.

I don't think so, because even though in the domestic league they can be said to have found their game well, it will still be a pressure for them, especially if the opponent has a strength that is not much different from them. We can see when they hosted Leverkusen which ended in a draw, on paper they were indeed favored but still they could not win the match even though they dominated the game. Other teams will learn from Leverkusen how they can get points when facing Bayern Munich. For Bayern Munich a draw already feels like a defeat, because they now have the status of the biggest team, even though in the last season they had to fail, but still that does not reduce their status as a big team.

Now we have a long break for the next matches like a little more than 2 weeks. Let's carry out an evaluation about the progress so far.

Brest's being in the 2nd position is really unexpected. I mean it is natural to defeat Sturm Graz. But doing it against Salzburg away by 4-0? That was a huge work done there. 

I just can't overlook the improvement in Benfica's effort in the CL also. They weren't able to collect proper amount of points in the recent years. But defeating Atletico Madrid in such a way? That is so extra.

In a few days we will soon enter the international match and every player will focus on helping his country in international competitions, so far we have seen some surprises in the Champions League, Madrid and Munich defeats against teams smaller than them obviously surprised us, besides that Milan who have not won a single win at the moment obviously puts them in a difficult position in the standings.
Dortmund has shown great potential at the start of this season with back-to-back wins even though the opponents they are facing are not strong teams, their performance has been very impressive at the moment and is the opposite of their condition in the league, in addition to Dortmund ending two games with a win, Brest and also Benfica were able to achieve positive results with wins in their two matches, but I think, the performance and consistency they (brest and benfica) have at the moment will not last long and it is likely that the change in the position in the standings will occur in the third match of the UCL later.

Munich will travel to Barcelona in the next match in the Champions League, seeing 2 less than satisfactory matches for Munich, Kompany must be able to restore the warmth of the media with what he has done before, and in my opinion Munich will work harder to be able to achieve good results in the next match in the Bundesliga they will meet Frankfurt which is also a strong team in my opinion this will be an important assessment of how Munich will be in the future when the Champions League continues against Barcelona.

Because if Munich can lose in the match they will play today, of course their position will be taken over by Frankfurt, but if the result is a draw, Frankfurt's position may be disturbed by Leipzig if Leipzig can win in today's away match. Now Kompany's task is starting to look harder because in a short time they have to continue to face fairly strong opponents including the next opponent in the Champions League, namely Barcelona which has also had quite good changes in its performance sector.

2-2 was the score in the first half of Bayern Munich's away match at Frankfurt's headquarters. They were able to take the lead first, but Frankfurt was able to equalize, in the 35th minute Frankfurt managed to turn things around, but 3 minutes later it was Bayern Munich's turn to equalize. They controlled the match, but their defense was quite fragile so that Frankfurt was able to create goals through attacks that they rarely do. 45 minutes into the second half, they had to focus more on the match, especially in defense. Because with such ball control, the 2 goals that were scored into their goal were a picture that their defense was indeed very fragile. This could be a disaster for them.

[Docnaster]

Now we have a long break for the next matches like a little more than 2 weeks. Let's carry out an evaluation about the progress so far.

Dortmund are the king around here after the first 2 matches.    Yeah I know, they didn't have very challenging opponents against themselves. But still the football they played in each one of them was just magnificent.

I just can't overlook the improvement in Benfica's effort in the CL also. They weren't able to collect proper amount of points in the recent years. But defeating Atletico Madrid in such a way? That is so extra.

In my honest opinion, I think the results of this season's UEFA Champions League have been a bit surprising to me. I don't think there's anyone who would've predicted the some of the outcomes we've experienced so far.

For Borussia Dortmund, they played in the final of the competition last season so seeing them occupy the first position I don't think is too surprising and they're not even there by luck but because they rightly deserve it.

Brest occupying the second position I think is the most surprising of all at the moment. The French club isn't doing well in the French league but have been exceptional in the Champions League. It's still early to decide what'll happen at the end because the next six games of this round might change things.

The 3 games ahead of Bayern Munich are all tough games for them. First they will face Frankfurt who are just below them in the Bundesliga standings, second they will face Stuttgart who although on paper are on Bayern Munich's side, but they can give a surprise, and lastly they will face Barcelona in the Champions League. Focusing on their match against Barcelona, ​​actually they have a good record when facing Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona is also in good shape now, so this will be a tough game for both teams. On the other hand Barcelona will also definitely try hard to improve their meeting record with Bayern Munich.

Bayern's match against Frankfurt ended with a score of 3-3, unfortunately they failed to secure full points. However, their ranking is still safe even though they have the same points as Leipzig. The next week's match Bayern Munich will host Stuttgart, considering that a few days after the match against Stuttgart, Bayern will visit Camp Nou, Barcelona's headquarters. Of course, Kompany will be careful so that his team does not experience problems. Plus, in the League against Stuttgart, Kompany could rotate some of his players. Meanwhile, Barcelona, ​​before hosting Bayern Munich they will play against Sevilla. Playing at home, is an advantage for Barcelona when facing Sevilla and Bayern Munich. Referring to H2H Bayern Munich against Barcelona, ​​Bayern has always dominated victory in 6 meetings. However, don't underestimate Barca for now. Because Filck knows very well how Bayern Munich is, he has a history of handling Bayern Munich. So, Flick will arrange tactics and strategies so that his current team Barcelona can defeat Bayern Munich at Camp Nou. well, it looks like this match will be very interesting for us to look forward to.

[Jody.Drummer]

Juventus may do better this season after been absent at the champions league last season as they did failed to qualify as they should have in the previous season, Leipzig is just characterized with too many inconsistencies recently and i don't think that will help them go a long way except they get it fixed as they should but then they don't seem to have that  team strength and form to build a good and strong might against their champions league opponent considering they are not experienced enough too in the champions league as some of their opponent.

But they were 2 goals ahead before the second half, I guess they were just relaxed they won it already because I know leipzig they are always a team that stays hard to win especially  when they are leading in a particular game. They've always been a major problem for clubs even Real Madrid and Mancity had a tough time playing with them last season besides i think that was what knocked Leipzig out early(they played top club in the last UCL, somehow repeating it self again though )and I've always noticed they don't go for huge win they just maintain it once they have a lead(maybe that went wrong aswell in their last game). So far they've lost their 2 games in the early opening of the UCL,I guess it gonna be tough for then this time around.

I just talked about their performance in the domestic league, Serie A. In my opinion, they are quite lucky in the Champions League this season, because from the 2 matches they played, they got opponents who were not strong enough and even in the 3rd, 4th and 5th matches they were still faced with clubs that were considered ordinary in this Champions League, they will really face a very strong club in the 6th match, they will face Manchester City. There is still a lot of work that they have to do to improve their overall performance, because in my opinion their current performance is still not optimal, or they still have many shortcomings which if they face a club that is equal or even stronger, it will be dangerous for them.

[Asiska02]

It is not easy to face the team coached by Xabi Alonso or the team coached by Unai Emery because they are both in their best form but that does not mean we can conclude that other clubs will dare to face Bayern Munich because this club is not as weak as you imagine, maybe Bayern Munich lost against Aston Villa and got a draw against Leverkusen but that is not something that will continue to happen when facing other clubs I am sure Vincent Kompany will soon correct his team's mistakes and will start the real match again.

I won’t even think of looking down on a team like Bayern Munich after how they started this season well and have recorded more wins than losses. It is just practical and something natural for teams to lose match and when you see the teams they’ve lost to, it’s also worth considering that there is nothing they were going to do about it and just have to let it be. They must have seen their mistakes and will make necessary corrections to the game when needed, hopefully in their next encounter in the domestic league of the champions league. Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich and Xabi Alonso’s Bayern Leverkusen are doing great individually as a manager, and I won’t look down on them when facing them in any of the league competitions.
