UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Abdulzuruku01]

Manchester city managed to take the lead, but I'm not comfortable with the way they are playing I just hope they improve their performances in the second half.

Arsenal is leading Club Brugge 0-1, Madueke took the attack from the midfield and scored a brilliant goal, Club Brugge is also played wonderfully in the first half, but I'm very sure that Arsenal will score more in the second half.

Is like the Manchester City result beyond your expectations that why you stated that they managed take the lead. But if you like the Manchester city performance and the pattern of the game they played against Real Madrid right form the first half of the match they really deserved to take the lead, since when they came back to second half Real Madrid is fight for the win so that they able to draw the match; I don’t they it can possibly because the game almost come an end.


What a great performances from the Madueke tonight he his the open the net and scored 1 goal right from 25 minutes of first half. And also scored a second goal immediately they returned back from first to double their lead against Club Brugge, as it stand now Arsenal is going to secure direct three points as they’ve dominated the match already with 3-0.

They didn't played to my expectations in the first half, but I'm glad they secured the victory. I'm not surprised by Manchester City victory because their more in form than Real Madrid. But still impressed with Real Madrid performance I never expected this effort from them, it's Rudiger that caused them disaster if not Manchester City wouldn't have found it easy today.

Arsenal played a brilliant game and the result was what I predicted. Madueke is a perfect replacement for Bukayo Saka, he's proven that even in the premier league games and today he scored brace and Arsenal maintained their lead on the table.

Poor Realmadrid , the defeat is getting concerned..
There’s nothing really wrong with tonight game  other than the forwards( I guess) , I didn’t watch the game but you could easily tell from their stats. Their total shots on target was two out of seventeen..now, they had just one goal at around 28’ mins which means even if  it was one shot on target then, throughout the remaining 70+ mins they only managed to get one shot on target or even zero  , that doesn’t look good at all.

Kylian Mbappé was greatly missed the main light on their attack currently and this game against a tough opponent he was really missed. By the way, I didn't expect Man City to come here playing especially after their recent meetings and Madrid are not really in their best.

My plus is that Rodrygo got a goal and this can boost the team attacking prowess thank God he finally broke his drought hopefully we see another good form and consistency with him.

Why did the coach decide to keep Kylian Mbappe on the bench, is there any injury or situation we are not aware of?. He should have started Endrick instead of Garcia but he knows best and it didn’t work out, for their last two games he’s experimented and they’ve lost twice at their home ground back to back.

Ajax finally won a game at the champions league, Congratulations to them… their recent league performance has been good maybe they’re improving in form.
Benfica winning Napoli by 2 unanswered goals, I never expected that. Many people are disappointed with the draw played by  PSG and Athletic Bilbao but I somehow anticipated this, PSG has not been in great form likewise Athletic but home ground has to count for something.

The match is still ongoing, I'm not watching it, I'm just observing the progress of the score, I'm very nervous to watch it, City is indeed very strong, Real Madrid must immediately reply to the goal otherwise, there will be no more hope of winning for Madrid if they lose this match, I don't know what will happen to Xabi  

It's too bad that Real Madrid lost to Manchester City... it was a particularly painful defeat, as they lost again at home, after their defeat to Celta Vigo. They should have held City to a draw in this match, but Haaland's penalty gave City the lead in the second half, and they held it until the end.
This defeat leaves Real Madrid in 7th place in the standings, further out of the race for top spot, this is a very bad decline in performance.
This defeat may also have decided Xabi's future at Real Madrid, as he is likely to lose his position as Real Madrid manager-- a positive result against City would have secured his position for some time, but the result was so bad and came at a crucial moment, he could be sacked soon.

[Coyster]

Big win for Manchester City away from home. I predicted a City win, so i got that one right in my parlay. This defeat at home piles more misery and pressure on Xabi Alonso, his players looked dejected at full time. That said, the defeat does not do too much damage to their chances of automatic qualification. They are still 7th on the League Phase table with 12 points and 2 games to go, that is not a bad position to be in. It is still in their hands and if they win their remaining games, they should finish in the top 8.

[Agbamoni]

Noni Madueke MOT for the Arsenal game today. His first goal was superb.

Arsenal is unbeaten in the UCL, sitting at the top, and also in the EPL.

I think they are on the right track in both competition and will possibly win a trophy this season.

Very disappointed with Real Madrid. I just hope Xabi stays at Real Madrid and gives him a little more confidence.
Surprising results in all the Champions League matches today.

Let's not get our hopes high because Arsenal are well known to bottle the league. It's definitely going to be a rough path for Arsenal because they've started to tremble in the English Premier League and not been able to compete with competitors.

Tonight when they faced Club Brugge, they were in their best form and have been nothing but a good club that wanted to dominated and win. Noni Maduake is MOTM after an outstanding performance. Scoring a brace and doing what he does best on the pitch, he deserves some accolades.

I was watching the Real Madrid Vs Manchester City match from kickoff. It took Haaland 19 minutes and 15 seconds for him to have his very first touch of the ball. 2 or 3 times again before the Rudiger foul on him that resulted in the penalty. He might be lost in the game but once he gives him that little chance twice or.3 he will punish you, his that calculated and clinical. At least if Real Madrid were playing like this for some matches, there's no time they would have had those series of bad games. They played well today despite the loss. In the other match in Spain, I was surprised that Athletic Bilbao was able to hold down the champions to a goalless draw. Very surprising.

Kylian Mbappé was greatly missed the main light on their attack currently and this game against a tough opponent he was really missed. By the way, I didn't expect Man City to come here playing especially after their recent meetings and Madrid are not really in their best.

Yup, I thought he would be subbed in later in the game, maybe around the 70th minute, but it turns out he didn’t play at all tonight…
Also, you do know Man City haven’t really gotten back to their usual form either, and this has been going on for many months. Just like Barcelona, they’ve been conceding a lot of goals for a while now and even conceded first in this particular game.

If it were Man City in it form against the current Real Madrid, then expect nothing less than four goals but yeah they came prepared..it’s both side anyways ( I mean which side won’t prepare for this type of game ).

Why did the coach decide to keep Kylian Mbappe on the bench, is there any injury or situation we are not aware of?.

I have zero idea about that, maybe they just want him to rest..

I think Arsenal stand in a better place to make it through this season because they are performing pretty well in the champions league. However, I think Arsenal are more balance in the champions league than premier league, obviously they might likely get a trophy this season because for them to maintain this unbeaten shows they have a target. But the only thing they need right now is consistency, if they can keep it up like this that means they are sure to lift a trophy.

Real Madrid's defenders and attack department have become weak, due to which they are not able to play a good role in the attack. Manchester City is rising from the lower level of the point table, if this continues for a long time, then Manchester City will definitely be able to win. Real Madrid is performing badly this season, their poor performance indicates even worse in the future because there may be doubts among the speakers. A lot of people have bet on this match, but if the game is still ahead, the chances of Manchester City remaining ahead at the end are much higher. Because Real Madrid's team is not performing as well as it did at the beginning.

The defender is long over due, Xabi has only been managing and there is a absolute nothing is going to do at the moment, he just have to manage. When Manchester city won the first goal and equalize I knew we were done for the day, there is nothing they can do because that second and third goal will eventually and it's not llkmg the second goal came from Haaland, at that moment in time I knew Madrid can't go far again but was even more surprised that it ended as 2-1.

Any person that watch match and thinks Manchester City was going to win today's match was only saying it out of love and concern, there is no way Manchester City were going to let them. Mbape wasn't even around, I don't know why that decision wasn't made quickly but the moment I saw him absent from the training ground, I already know the excuse that is going to follow later.

You know when you play a team that knows how to play football, your game play will also improve, so I am no surprised that Real Madrid played this better today. Besides some players who haven't been having game times were given opportunities to play today so they probably brought out their mind to play well to impress the coach. Unfortunately their good performance tonight couldn't get them a point. Now we are waiting patiently to see if the Madrid hierarchy will announce the sack of the their coach now that they have lost the match they warned him not to lose.

Real Madrid 1 Vs Manchester City 2
Courtois run of no clean sheet against Manchester City continues. His playe 17 matches and in every of this matches, his conceded at least a goal. I wonder when Courtois will keep a clean slate against this team. Real Madrid is playing well in this game, seriously I didn't expect it especially after what happened in their last home match. Plenty of time here for either side to find the winner.. penalty for City and Haaland puts it away

All what happened tonight is like a movie in the eyes of Madrid players and the fans, they could not motivate the players like they do to every other opposition, talking about the fans. Now that Madrid have lost an important game which was suppose to be theirs because of them playing at home, it was suppose to be a hike game to tell the fans that they're not backing down after their loss against Celta Vigo but they still went ahead to lose again at home despite the fact that they played something impressive, too bad and now every blame will be for Alonso, can he keep his job?

Poor Real Madrid.
2 defeats in 6 Champions League matches (another home loss).
The last 5 matches in La Liga are disappointing, with only one win.

Ah, Xabi is in trouble, and rumors of his sacked are increasingly looming. However, the players say they're with Xabi to the death. This is truly ridiculous, even in their own defeats, sometimes there's something wrong with this.

In this match, Real Madrid had 17 shots—imagine that many, but only two shots on target, and one goal. There are so many missed chances.

One of them was Bellingham, who missed a very close chance to score.

There is nothing really left of Real Madrid, it doesn’t matter where they play no more, just any team with enough motivation can come, get a win and move along. Real Madrid has fallen down real hard and the champions league for which they once stood favorites or were renowned for haven’t got a place for them no more, they are now just like every other team.
Alonso’s tactics isn’t working in Real Madrid, he’s not getting the best out of the squad his got and that dragging the team into a sinkhole.

[Issa56]

PSG were something else tonight. It was a big shame that they were held to a goalless draw by a team that are not even strong in their league, much less in the CL and that is Atletico Bilbao.

The most surprising match today is PSG match. I expected the result which I got from other matches, but I never believed PSG won’t be getting a win in the match, they played draw against Atletico Bilbao, I never expected that, and I know most people won’t even expect the draw. I was not even expecting the match to be so difficult for PSG, but at the end, all they could get in the match is just draw. I picked PSG in my bet to win their match, but PSG ruined my bet today. Most people that picked PSG in their bet ticket will pick them to win, but they played draw, lots of people will be disappointed.

[Miles2006]

Surprising results in all the Champions League matches today.

A draw against Athletic Club don’t sound right although PSG had more possession and shot on target yet could not score a goal, as expected the season is unpredictable reason why no one predict anymore else PSG are likely expected to win during prediction and now everyone seems quiet, well this season is a different one from the fixtures secondly the matches seem tough although Arsenal still manage to retain the point just hope what repeated last season should not start this season,  Chelsea also failed while trying but, Manchester City at the other hand is still racing perfectly fine surprisingly city defeated Real Madrid.

Why did the coach decide to keep Kylian Mbappe on the bench, is there any injury or situation we are not aware of?. He should have started Endrick instead of Garcia but he knows best and it didn’t work out, for their last two games he’s experimented and they’ve lost twice at their home ground back to back.

It’s not that Alonso thinks he knows everything, but he knows what he has to do to maintain his players’ physical condition. Mbappe isn’t injured, but Alonso felt that with the current lineup they could win or at least secure a draw in that match. On the other hand, City’s win looked more like luck, since they basically got just one good chance from the penalty.

Sure, Alonso could’ve started Mbappe in that match, but do you know the risks? Madrid still has a long season ahead, and Alonso is simply trying to keep his players in top shape. As long as it’s not a long streak of consecutive losses, everything is still fine.

Benfica winning Napoli by 2 unanswered goals, I never expected that. Many people are disappointed with the draw played by  PSG and Athletic Bilbao but I somehow anticipated this, PSG has not been in great form likewise Athletic but home ground has to count for something.

My best guess is that he doesnt want the ball to be centered on Mbappe alone. Whenever they play alongside Mbappe in big games, it seems the center of attention becomes him alone; by doing so, they lose the chance to spread the ball around, and that way, they can't win. Pep Guardiola is a smart coach; he knows how to pin Mbappe down in big games.

Throughout this game, Xabi Alonso did everything right. Who should be called out for the loss is Jude Bellingham, he had the best chance in the game, but wasted it because he wanted to chip Donnarumma.
