UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[ajanwalker]

Pafos earned its first point away against Olympiacos. Despite playing with 10 men from the 25th minute onward, earning a point is a great achievement.
Pafos will likely deliver surprising results, especially in their home matches.
They don't have any well-known stars, but they're a very good team.
I think Pafos, Bodo/Glimt, and Karabag have had a strong start to the league. Could Almaty be another surprise today?
Almaty will face Sporting away. It wouldn't be surprising if Almaty picks up a point.

PSG won the match between Atalanta vs PSG by a huge margin. It would not be wrong to say that PSG had the ball at their feet throughout the match. PSG played in a way that made it seem like PSG were playing with smaller teams. Atalanta could not do much in this match. Atalanta could not attack much, Atalanta did not have much ball, PSG had the ball at their feet almost throughout the match.

PSG won the match between PSG and Atalanta by a huge margin of 4-0. Atalanta could not do much but PSG was able to completely stop the attacks they tried.

I wasn't that surprised by the final outcome of the game because I know that the quality apart between these two teams are miles apart, and apart from the huge scoreline that looks embarrassing, another thing that Atalanta should be worried about is the way they were completely outplayed and out fought throughout the game last night, but in as much as they were up against the defending champions, I never expected them to be this easy against psg, but nevertheless, a big congratulations to psg for showing their superiority against this Atalanta side in an emphatic fashion.

WOOOW! I did not  think the Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid match would be so exciting. Liverpool scored two goals in just 6 minutes of the match. But the first half ended 2-1. But Liverpool couldn't play well in the second half. In the 81st minute of the match, Llorente scored his second goal and Atletico Madrid equalized the match. Whatever , Virgil van Dijk saved Liverpool. After 90 minutes, Van Dijk scored from Szobszlai's pass in injury time to give Liverpool the lead. The match ended 3-2. However, the last 10 minutes of the match were very exciting. Atletico Madrid also fought hard in their away match today

Wow what a game, I thought the game will end in a draw since I so they are playing 2-2 in the 90 minute. Liverpool as really performed very well and they achieved the three point. What a game tonight I didn't expect Athletico Madrid will do well against Liverpool and try to share the same point in there first game in the Champions League. Liverpool are unbeaten this season they have been winning all there games in the league and now they win against Athletico Madrid. Van Dijk is a very good defender that is very talented and helping the team win some games in many competitions. Chelsea as lose against Bayern Munich that as show that Chelsea is not that strong to challenge bayern Munich in the Champions League this season. They will face Manchester United this weekend and I think the game will always be in Chelsea favour because Manchester United are not in a better shap this season.

This was the most exciting match of the day. PSG and Inter Milan won quite easily. PSG defeated Atalanta 4-0 and Inter Milan won 2-0 against Ajax. Chelsea also failed to put up a good fight against Munich. Bayern Munich defeated Chelsea 3 - 1.
But the Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid match was a tense and exciting one. Until  the last minute of the match , we were not sure which team would win. After 90 minutes , Liverpool scored their third goal to secure the victory. Atletico madrid were unlucky. If the defenders had done well in the last few minutes, the team could have earned 1 point from this match.

• Bayern won

How did your bets do?

Bayern won, but did many people expect them to win? I think many people expected Chelsea based on their current form and their recent Club World Cup victory. Bayern did not just win, they outplayed Chelsea in their home.

I never knew that Bayern  Munich are in good form in this UEFA champion League competition because what they did to Chelsea surprised people that watch the match or hear the outcome of the result of the match yesterday, this is what any strong team can do to their opponent which is what Bayern Munich did to Chelsea in their home to defeated Chelsea 3-1 confidently through out the match, many lost their prediction just because they are still using the performance that makes Chelsea to won the FIFA world cup last season to predict for their favour not knowing that this is UEFA champion League title, and this is where you will see teams that know how to play this UEFA champion competition very well.

If you say you don't know that Bayern Munich is in a good form that means you have not been following up football, even in their league they having been winning games with high goal margin so it shouldn't surprise you if they won Chelsea, if people lost their bet i don't think it is because of Bayern Munich vs Chelsea game because i don't believe there will be any that will predict Chelsea to win and confidently gamble on it unless you are core Chelsea fans because there are other options to play if you can't give Bayern Munich a straight win against Chelsea.

While everyone is talking about Real Madrid's victory and praising it, I would say that Real Madrid's victory was just luck and I would praise Marseille for having a better performance. 😋
So, now we can compare when Barcelona faces Newcastle, and Barça will undoubtedly win decisively this time.
Despite playing away without Lamine Yamal, Raphinha is still reliable.

I did not expect that kind of performance from Marseille against Real Madrid, Marseille was very good and they attacked Real Madrid and played well, I will not say Real Madrid's victory was a luck because they won the match despite having a player sent off in 72 minutes, if it was another team or Real Madrid last season, they would have lost or drawn the match, Real Madrid has played three matches with ten players on the pitch, which shows how good Real Madrid is right now.

The most important thing is to get the three points, which Real Madrid does. However, Real Madrid still has a lot of work to do because if they play like that against Barcelona, they will lose the match. Real Madrid attackers missed a lot of chances yesterday, including Mastantuono missing a big chance, Xabi Alonso needs to correct those mistakes because if they face Barcelona, they will struggle if they don't convert their opportunities.

Imagine what would have happened to Real Madrid if they hadn't had a penalty in the 80th minute?
After that, what if Real Madrid didn't get a penalty opportunity in the 28th minute?
If it wasn't luck it should have scored without penalty.
I admit Real Madrid's defense has improved slightly compared to before, as evidenced by the fact that they played with 10 men without conceding a higher score.
But, I still think their attack doesn't seem to be performing as well as in domestic matches.

The Munich vs  chelsea match has become very  competitive. Both teams are playing aggressively and trying to score. After  40 minutes, Bayern Munich is leading 2- 1. Chelsea is a bit unlucky. They conceded their first  goal in the 20th minute of the match due to a mistake by Chalobah. Munich scored their second goal in the 27th minute from a penalty spot.

I didn't expect three goals in the first half, even in such a short time. All three goals came in just nine minutes. Bayern's first goal in the 20th and 27th minutes was followed by Cole Palmer's goal for Chelsea in the 29th minute.
However, Chelsea's counter-attack actually showed that Chelsea had a chance to equalize. Perhaps more goals will be scored in the second half.
In another match, the PSG vs. Atalanta match, the score was already 2-0 in PSG's favor. It looked like PSG could almost secure victory, even though it was only the first half. The match statistics clearly showed that PSG continued to build attacks, while Atalanta struggled to respond.

Chelsea still have the chance to equalize in the game, but I am not thinking Bayern Munich will stop at 2 goals, because we have seen how they are more focused on attacking, which is a success to them, as they are still winning. The first half has come to an end. Let’s wait and see what the second half will bring, even though I know their game will not be that easy for both teams.

Yes,,,  Chelsea had a chance to equalize. But we did not see a good performance from Chelsea in the second half. Bayern Munich players were able to put Chelsea under pressure well. And in the second half we also saw Bayern Munich's dominance. Chelsea players were able to make only 3 shots in the  second half. It is definitely not possible to score points against a team like Munich by  performing like that. Bayern Munich performed excellently in this match and they deserve 3 points.

On the other hand, the game for PSG and Atalanta, we all know, is in the favor of PSG. As seen from the first half, it will be very hard for Atalanta to even score a goal in the game. So, I have already conceded that that game will be a victory win for PSG, as their opponents are not that strong.

I expected Atalanta to fight for the win. Because we saw this  team perform well in Serie A last season. But they stumbled against psg in the first match. Despite conceding  4 goals, Atalanta players could not score a single goal. Atalanta's defenders played badly,  and we did not see a good performance from the attacking players. On the other hand , psg performed  well without Dembele and doue, which is commendable.

The hosts prevailed in the highly challenging matches.
Bayern defeated Chelsea, Liverpool defeated Atletico, and PSG defeated Atalanta comfortably. Ajax lost 0-2 at home to Inter. Inter scored from corners. Hakan headed the ball to Thuram for the first goal, who then scored with a stunning header. The second goal came the same way.
I was left with the impression that Dutch football was in decline. Ajax and PSV lost their league matches, both at home. Feyenoord were also eliminated from the knockout stages. Both PSV and Ajax, whom I watch, have weak squads. I think both will finish near the bottom of the Champions League.

[mandown]

Frankfurt lost 3-1 in their last league match. Galatasaray, on the other hand, lost 0-2 to Eyüpspor in a poor performance.
These two teams face off today. Frankfurt will capitalize on their home advantage. Galatasaray will be without Osimhen due to injury.
I don't know if Okan Buruk will start alongside Icardi in the starting lineup in Osimhen's absence. Barış Alper would be a more logical choice, as Icardi hasn't yet found his rhythm since his injury. He also lacks the ability to press the opponent. If Okan Buruk starts the match directly with Icardi, Galatasaray will feel like they're playing with 10 men and will struggle against Frankfurt, a team that runs hard. I think it will be a good match.
Frankfurt will probably win the match.

[satscraper]

Liverpool 3-2 Atletico Madrid
Liverpool really did their best I must commend your effort however before the match started I believe that they will win Atletico Madrid because Liverpool is very informed Atletico Madrid is also very informed but it is a case of tactics Liverpool knows how to win their match and they know the right thing to do they have a very good coach.

Liverpool have scored late minutes goal that sealed the win for them, in their last 5 matches across all competition. They remind me of the Bayern Leverkusen I know in 2023/24 Bundesliga that went through out the season being unbeaten.

Maybe Ill stop believing that Liverpool were just winning out of luck. I think they have a good coach that can change the game to their favor before stoppage time.

As a gambler I tried to limit myself to yesterday's matches, but in the end, I chose two of them, i.e. Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich vs Chelsea. I had no doubt about Liverpool and placed the bet on their win. As for the second match, I wasn’t sure who would win, so I opted for BTTS bet. Thankfully, both bets paid off and gave my bankroll the little boost. Today’s matches are also catching my eye, especially Manchester City against Napoli. Manchester City seems to be the stronger team, but I think BTTS might be the safest bet here.

That's quite possible, and I don't think it's because Ajax and PSV are declining, but rather because other teams have improved each season, while the Dutch league hasn't changed much, making Ajax and PSV unable to compete in the Champions League.

I didn't see any major surprises in all the matches, but the intense match between Bayern Munich and Chelsea was a bit boring. I initially thought both teams would play fiercely, but Chelsea weren't able to do much to improve their performance.

It is definitely not possible to score points against a team like Munich by  performing like that. Bayern Munich performed excellently in this match and they deserve 3 points.

Bayern Munich played a very excellent performance, no doubt, which gave them their 3 points. But for Chelsea, that I know, even if they were able to equalize yesterday, I know they would still lose the game. The second half came with a different pressure on them, and they were not able to play anything anymore. Although we know Bayern Munich’s performance yesterday was higher than Chelsea’s performance, I won’t say Chelsea played too poorly. But I will say them trying their best was not enough; they deserve to do more.

I expected Atalanta to fight for the win. Because we saw this  team perform well in Serie A last season. But they stumbled against psg in the first match. Despite conceding  4 goals, Atalanta players could not score a single goal. Atalanta's defenders played badly,  and we did not see a good performance from the attacking players. On the other hand , psg performed  well without Dembele and doue, which is commendable.

I know it will be very hard for Atalanta to even score, and even from the first half you will see that PSG has already surpassed Atalanta in strength. It will be a nightmare to see Atalanta scoring a goal. That is why I lost hope totally in them, because both their attacking and defense were very poor, so I was not expecting that much from them. I know they will definitely lose the game.

[Luzin]

My three favored teams won, not a big surprise but at least my bets made a profit today. No major teams lost, as I did bet on Munchen, PSG, and Liverpool, which is enough to buy food for one family today. For tomorrow it's Newcastle vs Barcelona and Man City vs Napoli. I'm a bit hesitant about Newcastle even though I just read they won't be going with Yamal. For Man City, they might be more favored. What do you think? Maybe the best nest to place odds.

[Cryptmuster]

It's all went well. I had so much optimism before i placed my bet, and yeah easy free money. Chelsea's crap defense really costed them a lot, but my credit goes to Palmer that saved my bet. I thought they would not score, but glad i was wrong.

As for PSG, there's nothing to complaint at all, and just perfect result against a mediocre team.

PSG played very well, it was an easy victory, and Atalanta are not as strong now as they were last season. I also thought about the Bayern Chelsea match, but I decided not to bet against Chelsea. Instead, I took a PSG win and a Real Madrid win, so my bet was spread over two days. Real did make me a little nervous when they got a red card and the score was 1-1, but it’s good that Real managed to win too. What are your thoughts today about the Newcastle Barcelona match, will it be an easy win for Barca or will Newcastle be able to resist them?

[Umulala-alala]

PSG won the match between Atalanta vs PSG by a huge margin. It would not be wrong to say that PSG had the ball at their feet throughout the match. PSG played in a way that made it seem like PSG were playing with smaller teams. Atalanta could not do much in this match. Atalanta could not attack much, Atalanta did not have much ball, PSG had the ball at their feet almost throughout the match.

PSG won the match between PSG and Atalanta by a huge margin of 4-0. Atalanta could not do much but PSG was able to completely stop the attacks they tried.

Atalanta had a good striker which is Ademola Lookman he has helped to club achieve some good record in past season but suddenly the club coach stop playing him if Ademola Lookman had played the goal margin wouldn't be much.
You are right if you say Paris Saint Germain had the ball with them throughout the match from the match ball possession you will know, they played very well and they deserve the winning.

Palmer made this happen, while the rest of the team were lacking behind and making error passes, missing tackles and goals.

You can imagine the goal opportunities Enzo missed in the very first half. Enzo had the chances that no other player on the pitch did, just him and the goalkeeper, twice and these are balls you just have to shoot and target and see what becomes of it but, he couldn’t take any. Lack of champions league experience did this one to Chelsea as almost all of them where yet to feature in one.

I think the reason is that Bayern are in very good form right now, which was evident in their Bundesliga performances, and they're doing the same in the Champions League. Last season, there was talk of Kompany lacking experience for the Champions League, and while Bayern played well, they had some strange matches, even losing matches where they were dominating, but it seems like this time things should be different. For PSG, the match against Atalanta was easy; the teams were noticeably different in quality, and that showed in the scoreline. Incidentally, Pafos continues to defend tenaciously, and that earned them their first point, but matches like that are frankly boring.

[Velvet78]

This is a difficult match to predict because both teams can do anything given their current form, I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea won, but I'm still betting on Bayern Munich, I'm pretty confident they can overcome Chelsea resistance.

I have no doubts about Liverpool, as Atletico have been in poor form lately, I even predict that Liverpool could win by more than two goals.
Oops, as I type this, Liverpool is already two goals ahead.

Okay let's get some coffee and snacks ready.

Bayern Munich won easier than I thought.    Even Chelsea couldn't stop them with their knack of dealing a blow to top favourites.

It happened the opposite for Liverpool. It wasn't a comfortable win for them at all... But I really didn't expect Atletico Madrid to score 2 goals. They started the season horrible actually.

They were nearly even stealing a point. Liverpool still have serious problems with getting easy wins.

It's clear that Chelsea this season isn't much better than last season. Their performance in the Premier League and Champions League has been less than stellar, so I don't think there's much to expect from Chelsea this season.

Bayern Munich's performance this season is also worthy of praise. They've improved and are much better than last season, and that's already been proven. Now, they just need consistency to maintain their form.
Liverpool were a bit fortunate with a late goal to secure the win. Atletico Madrid, despite their poor start to the season, shouldn't be underestimated. They're a big team with a capable squad, so this will be a tough match, and it will be a tight contest.

[Alpha Marine]

What performance in the Club World Cup?! Lmfao! It was just that game against Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germans.
I love crazy and delusions but not the way Chelsea fans go about their own. Their performance against Brentford was enough eye opener for their fans but they chose to not keep their eyes peeled and open. I hope it's a back to back lose with their next game against Manchester United.

The win against PSG really deceived them. They felt they were the best team in the world; they felt they were unstoppable. I usually watch Chelsea games, and I know how exactly they play. I knew it would be a miracle, like the miracle against PSG, for them to win Bayern Munich.
They don't play good football, and their attack is not what they think it is. Whenever I say, the fans usually feel I'm hating on them. They are too inconsistent. They can't maintain a level for the long term. Even during games, they perform well I waves, they don't perform well for the whole 90 minutes of the match.

They need to try and get full points against Benfica, Ajax, Atalanta, Qarabag and Pafos because the games against Barcelona and Napoli will be very difficult.

[bastisisca]

...

Betting is very difficult, I mean to win, even the famous surebets are never 100% certain.
So it should be taken as a sort of extra entertainment, just to demonstrate, like I do, that I understand football and how modern football works.
Maybe I'm wrong, actually I certainly am, but that's how I see it. Even with favorable odds, it's very difficult to get it right.
