UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[BlackBoss_]

Arsenal was able to finish the second leg well because they were able to beat Leverkusen and as we know in the first leg Arsenal was held to a draw by Leverkusen. It seems that in this second leg Arsenal is more enthusiastic because they are the host and have a lot of support from the audience. For English people, Arsenal's qualification to the last 8 is certainly something to be happy about because it would be very unfortunate if, for example, no EPL representatives advanced to the quarter-finals. Arteta made a good strategy in today's match and Arsenal's defense was also good so that Leverkusen had difficulty scoring goals against Arsenal.

Arsenal with Arteta have become more consistent in their tactics and operations as well as results with stronger mentality which is helpful for Arsenal in solving and finishing important big matches well enough. They don't need to play too attacking, have sexy football but they actually know how to win matches, get max points and achieve their targets.

Arsenal managed to escape the first match with a draw and hours ago when they returned to their home stadium for hosting Leverkusen, they did not let this opponent having any chance to make surprise. The win is very solid for Arsenal and they will appear in UEFA Champions League quarter finals as possible the only representative of Premier League there.

Indeed failing advance to quarter final round actually Manchester City had better performance in this match than first leg match exactly since the first minutes success creating many attempt, but read red card received by Bernando Silva and Real Madrid get penalty kick make the match had low intention with Manchester City difficult by playing with ten players. I don't know the substitution made by Pep Guardiola in this match sent off Erling Haaland who success scoring goals at first half match and substitute by Semenyo at the early minutes of second half match.

Manchester City tried to do something but a red card for Bernado Silva and the penalty which turned to a goal for Vinicius and Real Madrid destroyed their plan. They lost at their home stadium as playing 10 players against experienced Real Madrid is too difficult and it's not a match when Real Madrid players make any mistake.
After one day, Premier League already lost two clubs in Champions League, Manchester City and Chelsea finished their season there, and only Arsenal move next.

In the current position, Manchester City has become so weak that they are constantly performing poorly. Manchester City lost 3-0 in the first match against Real Madrid and they lost again in the second match. The gap in this second match seemed even worse to me, at the beginning of the game, Manchester City's players lost Silva and became weak.
And in the end, Manchester City was forced to lose, but Real Madrid maintained their lead by winning. Real Madrid showed a consistent performance in this match and I think Real Madrid has proven that they can reach the final.

I still want to understand how losing 1–2 is worse than losing 3–0. Mind you, in the second leg, Manchester City got a red card around 20 minutes from the start of the game, but somehow they managed to equalize before the first half. I know equalizing 1 goal out of 4 is very shameful, but to me, I will say Manchester City tried better in the second leg, even though they still lost, because if it was another team that got that red card at 20 minutes, I don’t think it would be only 2 goals, but still, they tried. Manchester City should go and get ready for next season, because even in the Premier League, they will not be able to meet up with Arsenal anymore, as their performance is not stable.

This is fact, am all for flair and celebrations but he is taking it too far, did you guys see the look on that girls face after he did that "crying" celebration, why can't you score and just celebrate without mocking the fans, it's mad disrespectful even as a human being, he is a good player, even on of the top guys in the world but he lacks character and acts like a child.

One of the reasons I don't respect Vini is that her attitude sometimes goes too far. I like his playing style and the way he plays, but not his attitude which tends to make many people hate him. Vinicius is a good player, but his attitude often makes him suffer bitter racism which sometimes makes him cry. It may not be entirely his fault, but he is too easily provoked and overreacts.

Manchester City now have no hope of progressing to the next round, but they still have a chance to win the match. Thibaut Courtois saved Real Madrid a lot in this match, but he had to be replaced by Lunin in the second half. Manchester City had chances to double their lead, but several chances were wasted.

Vini constantly provokes the crowd and then acts like a victim the moment he gets some heat back. if he just kept it class and celebrated normally, nobody would care.
and he was really ghosting yesterday, too. Missed so many sitters that even a basic striker would’ve finished. Mbappe would’ve had a hat trick.

Wonderful performance from Arsenal yesterday they did very well and I expected them to win, what a sweet goal from Eze, Arsenal is inform and they are doing very well. There was no way they wouldn’t have won the match yesterday. I believe everyone expected them to win the match and they did it.
And again wonderful performance from Real Madrid they performed very well also and I expected them to win the match their was nothing stopping them, especially since they won with three goals in their first leg.
And again wonderful performance from PSG with the way PSG is playing they may likely win this Champions League because they are performing very well and they have very determined to do more in the champions league, all the win yesterday was expected apart from sporting I never believed they will do a comeback and then win.

They don't need to play too attacking, have sexy football but they actually know how to win matches, get max points and achieve their targets.

Despite not winning the away match, arsenal players did not make any mistakes in the home match. Arsenal performed well. Arsenal players did not allow leverkusen to create any opportunities. Arsenal dominated from the beginning of the match. Especially Arsenal's defense was very strong. Because of this, the victory was even easier for Arsenal. Eze and Declan Rice were able to score goals in this match.
The path to qualifying  for the semi-finals is quite easy for arsenal. In the quarter-finals, they will play against sporting. Arsenal will not lose against a team like sporting.

What's happening now at Man City is their seriousness in their matches, unlike a few years ago, when they were once again in a difficult period in terms of competing in the UCL competition.
This may be because they feel more focused on the title race in the EPL, which is much safer from being chased by other teams competing in the EPL, compared to the UCL, where we know there are many strong teams, making them feel unable to compete. This is my opinion regarding Man City's performance this season, especially since they currently feel uncertain because they have to think about the title race in their domestic competition. The points gap with Arsenal in that competition, which was getting closer yesterday, has now begun to widen again.

[Ale88]

Extremely disappointed by Manchester City. Getting eliminated by this Real Madrid losing both matches is humiliating. If they don't win the Premier League either I wonder if Guardiola will remain the manager for the next year too. I feel like his time at Ethiad has come to an end. They bought a lot of players during the last years, spending a huge amount of money, and they got very little results. After winning the Champions League they began a renovation process that is clearly not working.

That's football for you, there is no need for you to be disappointed over Manchester city losing to real Madrid. I don't think it will be possible for them to win the premier League trophy this season because Arsenal isn't giving room for that. Arsenal performance this season both in champions League and premier league is really outstanding. The chances that they will give way for Manchester city to win the premier is very slim. However even if Manchester city fail to win premier league title this season that shouldn't be enough reason for pep to leave the club.

Disappointed because I was expecting way more from them. I'm not a City supporter so I don't care about their elimination, I was saying that I didn't expect them to go out because they have (had?) a better team than Real Madrid in my opinion. And I actually hope Arsenal will be able to (finally) win the Premier League. In that case this season would be a total disaster for City and Guardiola.

Manchester City lost the first leg 3-0 . They had no chance of qualifying for the quarter finals. Even then, I thought they would not  disappoint the fans in the second leg at home. Even if they could not win by a big margin, they would probably win the match. But manchester city also lost the home match.

Manchester city is in very bad form this season. They are out of the champions league. They are also out of the premier league title. They have lost points in the last two matches  of the premier league. It is almost impossible to regain the top spot in the table. City is going  to end a season without any title.

Like seriously, who would have thought that after not managing to score against Bayern playing with 10 and then 9 players, Bayer will manage to beat Arsenal?

Not that many surprises here, Arsenal was sure to qualify, PSG and Real had an enormous advantage now Bodo...
I feel sorry for them, they played perfectly till this game but no matter how bad I feel for them, I have to give it to Sporting, they deserve it, I think Bodo fel in the trap many of their adversaries fell before of being overconfident and not prepapred for that was coming, they defended from the start and paid the price, have they played like the round would have started from 0-0 it would have been different.

Sporting played a flawless match yesterday and didn’t make the same mistake as Inter, who thought they could beat this opponent easily.
Sporting thoroughly deserved to go through to the next round.
Today we’ll see the results of the other matches; one is practically a foregone conclusion – Atalanta’s – but the others are still up in the air.

Bodo knew the Atletico and Inter matches weren't guaranteed. they fought and earned the right to go through.

But in yesterdays game they had this there's no way we’ll concede three vibe. They didn't show any fight or play decent football. in my opinion, the turning point was the two consecutive shots that hit the woodwork in the first half. right then, i said to myself the football gods have already decided to punish them.

Chelsea lost again in today's second leg against PSG with a score of 0-3. Chelsea, as the host, unfortunately couldn't score a single goal in today's match. Chelsea also had good opportunities, but unfortunately, Chelsea couldn't capitalize on their opportunities, ultimately PSG won. Now, Chelsea's struggles are certainly over, having already lost to PSG in the first and second legs.

Fortunately, I bet on PSG to win this match. What about you? The PSG players looked very enthusiastic in today's match. PSG certainly had a big lead in the first leg, so it's natural that PSG is excited in today's match because it will definitely not be easy for Chelsea to score many goals against PSG. I want to congratulate PSG on advancing to the last 8. PSG will certainly be ready to test the team they will face in the last 8.

[Zlantann]

Teams like Sporting CP made the advantage Bodo Glimt had a great motivation and performed a come back that may teams haven’t being able to do against Bodo but, when it came to the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City, they rather lose at home than do anything spectacular for the fans. The English teams didn’t show why we fan them the most in the champions league this season, it was just one bad performance for another and Chelsea was the worst of it all.

After the game, I could see some of Bodo Glimt showing signs of disappointment. I saw a female fan crying uncontrollable. I understand because they have high expectations. The Noweigioan club had such great character and discipline in this competition. The have been able to beat some of the favourites in the UCL. Having a three goal advantage put them in a good position to progress to the quarterfinals.

Sporting Lisbon adopted an aggressive attacking method which produced thirty-six shots and fourteen on target. The attacking force overwhelmed the visitors and forced their defence to open up. Inexperienced players affected Bodo because they became fearful and focused more on defending. Many sports bettors will lose money, as we thought that Sporting wouldn't come back in this second leg.

[Tranchillo]

Did not had the time to share my opinion but in case of City's performance in the first leg where Pep again wanted to be more important than the team by playing Savinho (who is the eternal sub this season) is something mind-blowing, it is clear what's Pep's problem is. This happened also at Bayern. He should have approached the first leg exactly like he approached the second, by playing more offensive and Cherki from the beginning, really did not understood what he was afraid of at Bernabeu, Real was in a really bad shape with lots of injuries.
Clear that the World Cup final result was just a mistake, not it is very clear.
Sporting really did what was actually expected by them, the better team has proceeded further.

Manchester City lost the first leg 3-0 . They had no chance of qualifying for the quarter finals. Even then, I thought they would not  disappoint the fans in the second leg at home. Even if they could not win by a big margin, they would probably win the match. But manchester city also lost the home match.

Manchester city is in very bad form this season. They are out of the champions league. They are also out of the premier league title. They have lost points in the last two matches  of the premier league. It is almost impossible to regain the top spot in the table. City is going  to end a season without any title.

Aside arsenal that has already progressed to the quarter finals of this year uefa champions league and Liverpool that still have some hopes, the rest of the other English premier league teams were all full of shit,but i think that the team that disgrace themselves the most is Chelsea, because their performance was just a total disgrace, while Manchester City performance hasn't been in the best form either, but they put in a very good fight, and if not for the red card by Bernardo Silva early on, the results would have been different from the 1-2 loss last night, but the team that surprised me the most is sporting Lisbon against Bodo/Glimt, I actually never expected them to come back, and won, so a big congratulations to all those that have qualified, especially sporting Lisbon that shows enough reason why they deserves to have a spot in the quarter finals.

[Stavri]

its 3-0 already
Park the bus like that and you're asking to get hit for three. They should've stuck to their usual style of play. Same story as the Galatasaray-Juventus game. We'll see if Bodo’s fairy tale run ends tonight.

Can today be the end of Bodo Glimt’s champions league season?

They couldn’t hold on to defend the three goals they scored at their home, they are already conceding the same three goals they scored which has resolved the game to level up with Sporting CP. what are you expecting next to happen? Extra time or Sporting to finish the game begin the stoppage time?
It’s actually interesting to watch because I love the tight competition.

Bodo’s luck has run out. Sporting hit the woodwork right after the third goal. Meanwhile, Sporting just bagged another goal while I was writing this
Bodo’s fairy tale run ended tonight

It had to end sometime but it's just so unfortunate that it had to be this night that bodo wonderful story ends because am not gonna lie, I actually expected it to extend further till maybe when they get to the semi finals that's if the magic 🪄 would have kept burning. But it was fun while it lasted because they achieved some amazing feet like removing the last year finalist of the competition which is something that no one actually believed would have been possible but they did it .

Even teams like Bodo, Qarabag, or Galatasaray perform well and manage to secure a spot in the top 24, they eventually hit a wall. You can manage for a game or two, push your limits and maybe have luck on your side but then Newcastle puts six past Qarabag and Sporting Lisbon hits Bodo for five. Even Juventus, playing with ten men, took the game to extra time at 3-0 but then missed two unbelievable sitters and hit the post from just a yard out.

I honestly feel bad for Bode. Of course, congrats to Sporting,they showed more desire, came out attacking right away, and Bodo literally didn’t know what hit them. I had faith in them, but it turns out they just don't have the quality to go further. Still, this is a huge success for a club like Bode.PSG dominated again, and Chelsea, like you said, had an absolute embarrassment. It’s gonna be interesting going forward,i don't really have a favorite, but PSG could definitely defend the title

Wonderful performance from Arsenal yesterday they did very well and I expected them to win, what a sweet goal from Eze, Arsenal is inform and they are doing very well. There was no way they wouldn’t have won the match yesterday. I believe everyone expected them to win the match and they did it.
And again wonderful performance from Real Madrid they performed very well also and I expected them to win the match their was nothing stopping them, especially since they won with three goals in their first leg.
And again wonderful performance from PSG with the way PSG is playing they may likely win this Champions League because they are performing very well and they have very determined to do more in the champions league, all the win yesterday was expected apart from sporting I never believed they will do a comeback and then win.

Arsenal is only team doing so well for now in the UEFA Champions league and I believe that they can get to semi final or even play the final, i expected a tough game between them and Bayer Leverkusen but they show an excellent performance at the Emirates Stadium and won Bundesliga side 2-0.

Real Madrid already qualify in their first leg they didn't play much in the second leg because they have already qualify, Manchester City did well but was set back by their early red card. For PSG i already know that they will win Chelsea home and away because Chelsea is one the inconsistent team in the English Premier league this season, Sporting also surprised me i never knew they can eliminate bodo.

[Olatundespo]

In the current position, Manchester City has become so weak that they are constantly performing poorly. Manchester City lost 3-0 in the first match against Real Madrid and they lost again in the second match. The gap in this second match seemed even worse to me, at the beginning of the game, Manchester City's players lost Silva and became weak.
And in the end, Manchester City was forced to lose, but Real Madrid maintained their lead by winning. Real Madrid showed a consistent performance in this match and I think Real Madrid has proven that they can reach the final.

I still want to understand how losing 1–2 is worse than losing 3–0. Mind you, in the second leg, Manchester City got a red card around 20 minutes from the start of the game, but somehow they managed to equalize before the first half. I know equalizing 1 goal out of 4 is very shameful, but to me, I will say Manchester City tried better in the second leg, even though they still lost, because if it was another team that got that red card at 20 minutes, I don’t think it would be only 2 goals, but still, they tried. Manchester City should go and get ready for next season, because even in the Premier League, they will not be able to meet up with Arsenal anymore, as their performance is not stable.

Real Madrid have eliminated Manchester City from the knockout stages after two legs. Being one player short gave Real Madrid the chance to go ahead and they were able to make the most of that opportunity. Although I was skeptical about Real Madrid winning before the match started, I still had to be optimistic because it would be easy for Real Madrid to win the second leg after leading in the first leg. They won 3-1 and the goal difference between the two legs was 5-1 which is a clear achievement for Real Madrid and Manchester City lost and failed to stay in the league. Manchester City were ahead in the match in terms of attack but it was unfortunate that they did not save the last but it was also a fantasy for them to win by a large margin because they had to score more goals than Real Madrid to stay in the tournament.

[Sim_card]

Sporting also surprised me i never knew they can eliminate bodo.

In all the matches played yesterday, Only Sporting was the club that gave me a big surprise because they were bold enough and believed in themselves that they can score more than three goals which they did amd eliminated bodo/glimit out of the competition from three goals down. They are the only club that three goals deficit didn't affect their performance or stop them from winning the game. The EPL clubs with three goals deficit couldn't even draw the match at home. What a shame.
