UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[m4r1o]

Mbappé has many strengths, besides his excellent goal-scoring instincts. He also possesses ball-carrying skills. Furthermore, his speed makes his potential a powerful weapon. Mbappé's quality is undeniable as he's now maturing and with a little support from his teammates, he'll surely be able to reach a much better level. Every player has different qualities and perhaps reaching the level of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo requires time and the full support of his teammates. This is what he needs to do if he wants to reach the peak of his career and Real Madrid can make that dream come true if he continues to contribute to the team.

Mbappe is a perfect machine, he has a unique athleticism that few players have, that's why i are convinced that these players can do well, they are unique players and he has an incredible sense of goal, that's why i think he could be the direct heir of Cristiano Ronaldo, this guy is incredible.

Mbappe already has a lot of authority at Real Madrid. At least we saw it during they had Xabi Alonso as their manager. Do you remember the afterwards of the Spanish Super Cup finale? The players listened to Mbappe instead of their manager and just went inside.  

Coming back to the CL he is performing great here as well. I really admire his versatile side too. He is mainly a winger but he can play as a forward superbly as well...

13 goals in the CL already and I'm expecting at least a few more from him depending on how far Real Madrid go here.

Madrid will face Benfica again in the play-offs. It is definitely going to be very difficult for Real Madrid to win. New coach Arbeloa has not yet been able to stabilize Madrid's performance. So it will be difficult for Madrid to win against Mourinho. The road to qualify for the round of 16 is not easy for Madrid.

It will be a match that will prove whether Real Madrid deserves to continue in the Champions League, because 1 loss against Benfica may sound like bad luck for them, but if it happens again in this match, it will show that their loss against Benfica was due to Arbeloa's inability to outwit Mourinho's strategy and expose Madrid's weaknesses that Mourinho could actually see-- that would be a very embarrassing thing for Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo has always being his mentor and playing in the same team as Ronaldo did years ago was like a dream come true for him and he will really work on that to make sure that he trails on the same path as Ronaldo did when he was in the club. Mbappe has proven himself to be outstanding even initially after joining Real Madrid. The number of goals he scored even in his debut season at the club shows how big of a goal scoring machine he’ll become. He could one day beat Ronaldo’s record, it’s just a matter of time to observe and see that coming to reality.

This match will test Real Madrid’s ability once again if they can actually get to be a team of potential for the champions league trophy. They have always been a dominating team, we shall get to see if they still have that kind of zeal, strength and determination to make it happen again. Even a loss on the first leg of this encounter is not enough to say they’ll be out of the competition. Until they’re eliminated from the competition, I still see them as a potential contender for the champions league trophy.

One thing you must understand is that there is no how you play that fans wouldn't complain, it is a general issue that has always been in the game but the one that annoying me the most is when fans take because of a single mistake and criticism the player to extend of calling him names that is the part I hate the most. There is no players that is over mistake no matter how talented you are there must surly be a mistake in the long run but let's not forget about the effort of the player in the team because as far as I know Mbappe is doing pretty well in the team. So we shouldn't take because one mistake and criticism a talented young man that is even trying to lift the team it is totally unacceptable.

The problem is that this dude has played great anywhere he played, all the way from Monaco to PSG to Real Madrid and also at France national team as well. But whenever the team loses, he became the problem and what everyone talked about.

Mbappe scored two goals at world cup finals and yet he still got the problem, he scored even the penalty later and got his third and he was seen as the issue. Same with PSG, he played wonderful and won everything but because they won UCL without him, dude was seen as the reason. Now Real Madrid is failing even though he is doing his best, and people think he is the problem.

Mbappé is an extraordinary player! He's still very young and already has so much charisma! Not to mention the fact that he's a goal-scoring machine.
It may be difficult to compare him to legends such as Cristiano Ronaldo, but he will certainly ensure that many people remember him even in the long term.
Like Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid, or Messi for Barcelona! Van Basten for Milan, Ronaldo for Inter, Del Piero for Juventus, and I could go on and on!
In my opinion, Mbappé will be one of them.

Having Mbappe on the team means they have a player who can make a difference and contribute significantly to the team. I agree that Mbappe is the best striker in the world right now. Even though Real Madrid is experiencing a decline in performance, Mbappe is still consistently scoring goals and bringing victory to El Real. Besides his speed, what makes me admire Mbappe is his excellent work ethic and discipline. Perhaps because he idolizes Cristiano Ronaldo. Mbappe also has a good attitude and is mature enough to be a role model for other athletes. I think the match against Benfica will be a victory for Real Madrid. Even though they lost in the previous match, I am sure Real Madrid will learn from their mistakes, and it seems Arbeloa has been able to adapt to the Real Madrid players.

Mbappe' qualities are extraordinary, and he deserves to be considered the best player in the world today. In terms of individual achievements, Mbappe deserves to be compared to Messi, as he has already won the World Cup, while Ronaldo has never won a World Cup. Real Madrid is the perfect club for Mbappe to reach the level of Messi and Ronaldo, as their squad is filled with talented players, which is a huge help in helping Mbappe reach the peak of his career.

It is quite astonishing to know that Real Madrid  has to fight in the play-offs, but that's football for you , where surprises can happen anytime and to anyone. Once again, Real Madrid will face the team  that forced them through the play-offs and I think it might not be easy, considering their opponents have a coach who knows Real Madrid quite well.

To be honest, I was quite skeptical when Arbeloa was  chosen to replace Xabi because I didn't think he had the ability to handle a team as big as Real Madrid. I think he was chosen not because of his abilities, but because he could be easily  controlled by Perez (something Perez couldn't do with Xabi).

It will be interesting to see whether Real Madrid will be able to take revenge on  Benfica or whether they will be humiliated all over again.

Mbappe already has a lot of authority at Real Madrid. At least we saw it during they had Xabi Alonso as their manager. Do you remember the afterwards of the Spanish Super Cup finale? The players listened to Mbappe instead of their manager and just went inside.  

Coming back to the CL he is performing great here as well. I really admire his versatile side too. He is mainly a winger but he can play as a forward superbly as well...

13 goals in the CL already and I'm expecting at least a few more from him depending on how far Real Madrid go here.

Has two games in the playoff round I think possibility for Kylian Mbappe scoring many goals again in Champion League up to 13 goals have scored so far, if can reach the knock out round Madrid and Mbappe has bigger chance to break goals scoring in champion league lead by Cristiano Ronaldo scoring 17 goals at season 2013/14. Mbappe has consistent performance in Champion League never missing score the goals every games but unlucky with Madrid can't qualify directly to round of 16 after losing last match from Benfica.

Right now, Mbappe has 4 goal left from Cristiano Ronaldo scoring 17 goal in Champion League one season but playing many games has chance for Mbappe reach to 18 or 20 goals for this season depend Real Madrid will qualify until final round or not.

[Adiljutt156]

I keep on asking myself why people are still surprised that Benfica defeated Real Madrid, Mourinho had coached Real Madrid and he know how they play and even though he was not there anymore, he still knows their weak points. He also know how to beat them so for him to win that particular match, it shouldn't be a surprise to us because he always find his way most especially when it's comes to Champions League because he is very good in that competition.

Despite Mourinho was the coach of benfica, at the beginning I don't take them serious since their performance at the early stage of competition is not that strong, I've learned a lot in this particular match, i think everything should play every match as final to avoid this kind of disappointment.

The point is that many people were surprised because Real Madrid have quality players compared to Benfica which means they should have a better squad than Benfica. For this reason, almost everyone believed that Real Madrid would win the match, but Benfica later won the match. It was surprising even to me because I did not expect it.Mourinho had coached Real Madrid before, and some people think that was the reason Benfica was able to defeat Real Madrid. But Real Madrid have been consistent this season. Mourinho did not manage Real Madrid for a long term and the players who were there during his period are not the same players there now. Real Madrid have changed many coaches, so their tactics may also be different.One thing I agree with you about is that Real Madrid’s new coach is not very experienced, and that may have been an advantage that Mourinho took over Real Madrid.

Benfica is proper ready to play against Real Madrid football team because they have won last matches and they have believe to win next match and players have to give start in the first half of the match because that is important point for that team and they won last matches because they made match and won match at the end. Real Madrid performance is also excellent because they recently played 5 matches and they won 4 matches and their win to lose Ratio is good against good teams and they are capable to win this match and match will be interesting and match will not be ended in first half and we will see all match to see the result because  Benfica team won against Real Madrid which they played against each other and now Real Madrid will try to take revenge of that.

I wonder why people consider Mbappé the culprit when his team loses. Yet, Mbappé's contributions to his team are extraordinary. Just look at France; without Mbappé, they probably wouldn't have reached the World Cup final. Indeed, being the best player in the world always has its pros and cons, and when expectations aren't met, fans are quick to judge the player. But for those who understand football, Mbappé's talent is truly extraordinary, and he has the potential to follow in the footsteps of Ronaldo, Messi, and several other football legends.

Real Madrid are lucky to have a player like Mbappe his goals and contributions are what is keeping the team moving right now but I think the authority given to him at the club is really too much. I can't believe how a player is having more authority than the coach, it means the coach will never succeed at the club because he is not in control of the team so it's obvious why Alonso didn't succeed at. Real Madrid. Maybe it's his fault for not taking charge or maybe it's the players fault for not respecting and listening to him or maybe the management has given Mbappe and Vinicius too much room which is why they were able to disrespect the coach.

He is delivering well but the entire team is not doing well so in the champions league they might crash out sooner than we expected. The next stage of the champions league is where it gets tougher.

In terms of squad strength, Benfica cannot be compared to real madrid. Real madrid's squad is very strong. They have a lot of talented  and experienced players. But their two  main problems are the  lack of an experienced manager and the poor bonding between the  players. Real madrid is lagging behind in both of these areas.

Benfica's  squad is not very strong. But  manager mourinho is experienced. He is very well  aware of real madrid's style of  play. This is why Benfica was able to defeat madrid by a large margin in the last match of the group stage. And there is no doubt that mourinho will make it difficult for Madrid in this match.

Mbappe' qualities are extraordinary, and he deserves to be considered the best player in the world today. In terms of individual achievements, Mbappe deserves to be compared to Messi, as he has already won the World Cup, while Ronaldo has never won a World Cup. Real Madrid is the perfect club for Mbappe to reach the level of Messi and Ronaldo, as their squad is filled with talented players, which is a huge help in helping Mbappe reach the peak of his career.

Mbappe is no way to be compared to Lionel Messi and Ronaldo.Yes mbappe is an extraordinary player yet he hasn't reached the level where we can compare him to Messi and Ronaldo. If we were rating him because he has won the world cup,has he also won trophies that Ronaldo has won? If mbappe remain at real madrid and win trophies we can compare him to Messi and Ronaldo but he hasn't won anything yet however he is a talented player with a bright future ahead, I think he hasn't reached that level but Im  confident he will reach.

Mbappe is very talented. His speed is very high. And ball  controlling is also very good. Mbappe also has the ability to score a lot. There is no doubt that if he gets enough  support from his teammates, he will definitely become a worthy  successor to Ronaldo. At the same time, his fitness is also quite good. He has faced very few injuries. Mbappe is in extraordinary form this season. He has scored 23 goals and 4  assists in  22 matches in La liga. He has scored  13 goals in 7 matches in the champions league. If Real madrid can qualify for the champions league final this season, it is almost certain that Mbappe will be the top scorer in the champions league.

Wasn't he nicknamed 'The Special One' for nothing?
He managed to win where no one had won for years! So yes, you're right, this coach knows how to line up his team to get the most out of his players without squeezing them dry!
Benfica achieved great success with their victory against Real Madrid, but now it's a different story! The context is different.

Yes, he are the special one, in fact he managed to surprise everyone, he did very well with Roma too, and i have to say that he managed to achieve notable successes with a team that wasn't getting good results anyway, he takes teams that seem dead and brings them to an absolutely superior level, he are really good, there's nothing to say

[Lida93]

I quite agree with you, Kylian Mbappe is an incredible player with great potentials and numerous abilities, he knows how to use the ball very well and he is also good with both foot. Mbappe can also play on either the left or the right wing of the pitch, above all, he could be used as a striker upfront which makes him versatile and unique. I believe the future of the French man is very bright and he is at the right club where his chances of achieving great things are certain.

Jose Mourinho as a coach has always done very well when he is underrated or look down on, so if real madrid are wise, they need to treat this game with a lot of seriousness. Though the 4-2 losing that pitch them against each other is a message that real madrid got very clear, so they will take them very serious this time, but the big question is that, will their best be enough to eliminate this benfica team managed by Jose Mourinho?
That's what I can say for now, but if I were to gamble on this game, I will put my money on benfica to progress to the round of sixteen because of the presence of Jose Mourinho as benfica manager.

[giorgione]

While Benfica may have a great coach, Real Madrid has the UCL DNA and a star squad capable of delivering when the team needs a win. So, I'm still favoring Real Madrid to advance to the round of 16 even though Benfica beat them in their previous match. Real Madrid is a team that is smart at evaluating what happened previously and they will not allow Benfica to beat them a second time let alone a third time.

Benfica has entered the competition so much that they managed to win against Real Madrid, they seem to me to be an exceptional team that is in it and i believe they can put in a great performance in the next match against Real Madrid, who certainly want to win, it will certainly be a great challenge.
