UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[MK-74]

Despite conceding an early goal, Galatasaray responded quickly and the match ended 1–1.
Galatasaray played well in this match, we could have won it, but we failed to convert two clear chances.
The chances by Barış Alper and Sara were clear opportunities for us, but we couldn’t score.

Getting 1 point was also important in this match. Next up is the Manchester City game and if we manage to get 1 point there as well, we will be guaranteed to finish in the top 24.

Galatasaray lack consistency in the Champions League, they can have very strong matches, like the ones against Liverpool and Ajax, but they can also lose to Royal Union even though there was a red card in that match or to Monaco, teams that are generally weaker. But you are right for Galatasaray it was good that they managed to earn a point in this match. I think they should qualify for the playoffs, but most likely they will have to go through the additional playoff round. One of their toughest remaining Champions League matches is against City, it’s hard to predict anything there as well. I think Galatasaray are an attacking team, so there could be a lot of goals in that match. As for City, it’s difficult to predict anything everything will depend on their mindset.

The match will be played in England. Therefore, Galatasaray needs to defend very well. In the Liverpool match, they defended very well while attacking and secured the three points. As a Turk, I was proud of Galatasaray in that match. Even though I support Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray's most ardent rival, their performance against Liverpool made me happy. I hope that against a struggling Manchester City, and considering Rodri's red card suspension, Galatasaray will need to take control of the midfield. Perhaps they can strengthen the midfield with İlkay Gündoğan. If they have such a resilient midfield, they can win the match. The match against Manchester City will be a prestige match for Galatasaray because they will be in the playoffs. It will be a match that will show how the teams they face should behave against them.

Galatasaray performed well against ATM yesterday to my delight with a rock solid defense and working midfield after Sara was introduced. I thought ATM would win that match but  Galatasaray narrowly escaped winning the match with obvious attacking errors especially with the final Osimhen powered attacking buildup and fine pass to his teammate in the front of goal.

Atletico Madrid is the strong team and if not for Marcos Llorente’s own goal Galatasaray could have suffered the painful defeat in their clash. Instead, the match ended in  1-1 draw. Osimhen didn’t give his fans the taste of his usual quality, so I think the supporters who filled the stands at Galatasaray’s home ground were not satisfied with his performance as well as with the overall result of the match.

Every goal counts not minding how it came by. It's important to know that ATM was the better side and securing a draw with them is still something and Galatasaray should be given credit for that.

Osimhen is still integrating back into the squad and still fatigued from his AFCON competition. He should be well rested and perform better in subsequent matches.

Their next match is against Manchester City in England, and they will probably lose that game. However, I still think they will be in the top 24.

Manchester City is currently in a laughable form now and you're forgetting also that Rodri is on a red card from last trip to Norway. I'm not having much hope on Manchester City, unless of course Guardiola fixes his team to some extent before the clash.

[Umulala-alala]

They definitely have to recover from their trauma as quick as possible because the big occasion  in the UCL is just about to get starting and they can't go in the round of 16  playing  averagely. It would be a quick elimination for them which would be too bad for the  fans. The upcoming game will be against Galatasaray, and it's a home game which must be won to avoid  the knockout play off by those teams who didn't make it to the top 8.

This is the beginning of their downfall. Now, the Manchester City fans want Pep Guardiola to leave their club because of the inconsistency in the team.

In reality, the street holds no memories for him, given everything he has done for the club and its fans. Well, for me, I think Pep should leave by the end of this season, now he still has some pride to protect. If he tarnishes his image before leaving City, it will be bad for him as a manager.

Pep Guardiola is a great coach if they demand him to leave city the end of the season will be good for him to do that, i see that no club want to be patient again with coaches every club wants to win the league if they see that you are not consistent again but you can still make the top four spot they will want you sack because you are on top of the league, well for me he has won alot for Man city not only in Man city but any club he went to if i were him i will leave coaching for now and rest. I think because pep lost to Man united in the premier league that's why they no longer want him people can forget easily.

The atletico madrid vs Galatasaray game is a game I expected to be be very tough because both teams are doing their very best to be among the top 24 teams and qualify for the playoff spot, even though it's not the top eight that qualifys automatically, and with the bad form of Galatasaray in recent games, it was crystal clear that if Victor osimhen wasn't present up top, they might have lost because his presence really helps in bringing back much confidence to this Galatasaray team, and it makes the atletico madrid team to attack with caution, knowing fully well that they might be brutally punished if they attack and fails to protect their back properly, so I think that it was a fair draw, even though atletico madrid have more chances than Galatasaray.

Then as for Manchester City, I just think that pep guardiola needs more time to fix his team, because this are mostly new players that have not blend with each other properly, so I can't deny that they have been disappointing, but they will bounce back.

Even though Arsenal finished their group stage matches without losing any match, I also don't think Arsenal can destroy any team they play against in the Champions League knockout phase since a lot of teams usually become more serious and put in good effort so that they can win their matches, which makes the Champions League competition become more intense in the knockout phase.

I don't know why people are still seeing Arsenal like a small club that could not afford to win their matches.
If you think Arsenal will not do better in the champions league then let's watch and see how far they will go. I am not hear to use their previous mistakes to judge what will happen in this season but I know that Arsenal is well prepared for what is going to happen.

I don't see Arsenal as a small club that can't afford to win their matches, and I don't say that Arsenal won't do better in the Champions League. I am only of the opinion that the Champions League competition always gets tougher in the knockout phase, and for that reason Arsenal can't destroy all the opponents they will play against in the knockout phase since a lot of teams turn out to perform well at that time.

Barcelona has successfully defeated Slavia Praha with a score of 2-4. The Barcelona players worked together really well and were finally able to defeat Slavia Praha. Slavia Praha will likely find it difficult to advance to the playoffs because they did not win against Barcelona, but it seems that next season there will still be an opportunity for Slavia Praha  to participate in the Champions League again. In this match, Slavia Prague scored first, but Barcelona eventually responded with goals of their own, ultimately securing the win. It was unfortunate that Lewandowski accidentally scored an own goal, but fortunately, he also scored a goal, so even though he scored an own goal, it wasn't an issue because he also scored a goal. Olmo and Lopez scored well, but Rashford also performed well as he provided an assist in the match.

Now Barcelona must strive to play even better to secure a good ranking, as finishing in ninth place would not guarantee direct qualification to the Round of 16. Therefore, in my opinion, Barcelona must win and score many goals in the upcoming matches.

Galatasaray should have won yesterday because after Atletico scored in the fourth minute, Simeone's team had no more dangerous moments, Galatasaray dominated completely from the second half onwards and if it hadn't been for Jan Oblak, Galatasaray would have taken all three points, but Oblak made two fantastic saves and earned Atletico a crucial point.

[Byebyebtc]

It was a good one from Galatasaray, it is actually clear Atletico Madrid is a stronger club than Galatasaray, but even with that the club performed defensively and to make sure they minimise goals and they even went ahead to score as well

Now they will have to face Manchester city next, with the performance of Manchester city presently the probability of them winning is not high as we used to feel, I know it's going to be a tough one but we await to see the potential results.

Arsenal are not a small club, they are holding firm this season (usually performances already coming in this period in previous years would have been disappointing).
Could he risk a knockout in the Champions League? Any team takes risks, the commitment becomes truly great and therefore everyone will give their all when they find themselves under pressure.
He can't destroy all his opponents that's true, but it's also true who's to say he couldn't do it instead? Maybe he gives us some unexpected games.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

even though atletico madrid have more chances than Galatasaray.

I strive to make distinctions between normal chances and clear chances on goal. ATM pressed more and had chances but the Galatasaray defense were always alert but more than twice the ATM defense lost focus and were penetrated by Galatasaray which should've been converted but they didn't. Galatasaray had more clear chances than ATM in that match and ATM have their goalkeeper to thank.

Then as for Manchester City, I just think that pep guardiola needs more time to fix his team, because this are mostly new players that have not blend with each other properly, so I can't deny that they have been disappointing, but they will bounce back.

Even if they bounce back, they would be needing Rodri's replacement for the match against Galatasaray. It is still going to be a problem for them but I'm not doubting their ability to function without him.

Arsenal are currently the dominant club in this competition, with an impressive series of 7 wins in 7 games.
However, the fact is that it is much easier to play games in the group stage, where even a few losses do not mean much, than the knockout stage of the competition, where 1 worse game means elimination from the competition.
The question of all questions is whether Arsenal can continue to play like this in the knockout stage of the competition? The season is very long and tiring and the Arsenal coach will have to be careful to regularly rotate players for matches and rest key players.
As far as the Champions League season so far is concerned, there are no major surprises, except perhaps that Barcelona and Manchester City fell out of the TOP 8, but it is still an early stage of the competition and everything is still open.

There is a point you’re missing about Galatasaray, if you look at the matches we lost, Osimhen was not present in any of them.
The team really needs Osimhen’s presence.
When Osimhen is absent, we end up with draws and defeats.
When Osimhen is on the pitch, the team’s performance improves even more because opposing teams can’t play comfortably.

Barcelona defense is very worst. It just they put 4 woods at the backline, the players that annoys me the most Alenjadro Balde, that guy overlaps, can't defend, can't cross only knows how to run. Then kounde , I can't comprehend my words for that guy. This Barcelona won't take us fas in this champions League, look at we are conceding useless goals against small teams, I find it so shocking. Imagine we gave the likes of Arsenal, Bayern , those will eat up our defense. I don't blame Hansi flick, I remembered when he told the club that he need a LCB but Stupid Deco gave him Cancelo. Maybe I should just focus on La Liga, this season champions is not sure for us.

I completely agree with this content. But Arsenal's current performance is very good and is in a consistent phase. If Arsenal's performance is like this and each of their players is in the same form and if no player gets injured, Arsenal can advance. But it is not yet possible to say what will happen, because there are many good teams, at that time every match will be like a final match.

Every team is very big and some are strong in defense, some are strong in attack, and many are strong in all aspects. So we cannot predict right now who will win or who will win the trophy.

[aipercoin]

I feel because of the legacy he has created with the Manchester City, I doubt if the board would outrightly want to sack him, so it's better he leaves by himself. It's most likely they will crash out of the champions league, and their premier league pursuit it's not looking like a fruitful one as Arsenal are already looking good with their dominance. So Guardiola should leave the stage now that the aviation is still loud a little.

Why do you think this? After all, he's a good coach and has always remained in the top positions.
This year has also been unlucky because Arsenal have decided to build a squad to take the Premier League and also the Champions League judging by the last matches.

[giorgione]

The fact that they are on a winning streak is obviously owing to the mentality they have and they also appear to be much more balanced and disciplined as compared to last season. Although it is still too early to discuss the champions, such consistency leaves a good message to the rest of Europe. Provided that they do not rest on their laurels and continue being this aggressive, Arsenal will be able to truly contend with the title of Champions League this year.

Arsenal are doing a sublime championship and what they showed yesterday in Italy says a lot about what they are doing, I understand that Inter were strong but this Arsenal is one of the strongest teams in the world, and I think they have amply demonstrated it

Arsenal have been winning almost all their games, even the ones we thought were impossible for them to win, and even the group stage is not as easy as we think. Also, when the knockout stages are reached, don't be surprised to see Arsenal knocking people out, because the kind of fire those guys are carrying in their minds does not seem like something that will stop anytime soon, so if they can maintain this level of stability, the knockout stage should not even be a problem.

And even Barcelona and Arsenal have fallen out of luck this time around, at least the city is even better than Barcelona, which is seriously dropping in performance, so who else do you want to mention? The only people I see in the picture are Real Madrid and even Bayern Munich because things change, and you cannot even defend what is even happening there now, and this is why people need to just wait and not jump to conclusions because, for now, Arsenal still has a big shot.

Beginning of whose downfall?! They're falling nowhere honestly. This should be the last season for Pep Guardiola so, they can keep their criticism to themselves. Whoever takes over from Pep Guardiola I'm sure will be left with a good squad to continue with. Tough times are here, but they shouldn't forget he's made them formidable over the years. He's tarnishing nothing fr fr, there'll not be another manager for Manchester City who can win them four in a row and the Champions League competition.
