UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Rgram]

I honestly don’t know what Mikel Arteta told the Arsenal players during the break, but whatever it was, it worked so well like magic. Scoring four goals in the second half against Atletico Madrid? That’s very much crazy! I don’t think anyone would have dared to bet on Arsenal doing that. Seriously, I feel like Diego Simeone’s time at Atletico might be coming to an end.

He has been a great coach for them, no doubt but lately, things just are not just working anymore. Everything has its time, and maybe his time as an Atletico Madrid's coach is up. Its high time he tries his fate somewhere else. It won't be so nice if he gets sacked. He is getting way too much humiliated lately and it's not making sense anymore.

- Arsenal vs. Atletico Madrid 0-0

I'm pretty sure everyone expected that this would be a game where there will not be so many goals based on the pattern of football that both teams play, but this first half has clearly been Arsenal's own to dominate because they've had the better chances to score but have failed to capitalize on them. The second half will be quite different because both coaches now have an idea of how the opponent's team is playing and will make some tactical changes to ensure that they are able to breach the defense and get a goal.

There have been goals in other games except this.

It's exactly the match everyone expected from Arsenal, who despite being at home are defending the result.
A draw in this case, it doesn't do them credit, they're playing at home, at least they can try to win it, or at least try,even if it won't be easy against an Atletico Madrid in such good form

It was a different story in the second half, Arsenal played crazier and found a weakness in Atletico Madrid's defense in last night's match, 4-0 a very unexpected result occurred in the second half, the goal was quick and yes they had a very good strategy to beat Atletico Madrid, the 4 goals scored didn't last long from the previous goal which shows that they are really strong and able to trick Atletico Madrid's defenders, congratulations on the victory for Arsenal.

43 goals have been scored in nine Champions League matches. That's an average of 4.77 goals per match. This is the highest rate I've ever seen. There may have been matches with such high goals in the past, but surely not this high an average?
Tuesday's matches were high in goals, so let's see how Wednesday's matches will be. I think we'll see matches with fewer goals.

I haven't seen such number of goals in a champions league night, highest I have seen is 25+ goals but last night was shocking. If yesterday gave us up to 43 goals I don't see today's champions league games giving us close to 30 goals, these guys that are playing today I call them stingy in terms of goals and the opponent against the big side will try to defend more, let's say in the Bayern Munich game...some will say Bayern will get up to 5 goals today but I doubt because we have seen too much of goals from the Bayern side and tonight Club Brugge will try to avoid conceding more than 3 goals.

Atletico previously lost to Liverpool 3-2 in the first leg, then won the second leg 5-1 against Eintracht Frankfurt. Arsenal, meanwhile, had perfect 2-0 wins over Bilbao and Olympiakos. What's interesting here is that Diego Simeone has a sharp attack, albeit a bit weak in defense, while Arsenal, as we know, has a strong defense and is much more consistent in its defensive strategy. Arsenal is currently in excellent form. Both are certainly doing their best. Atletico is also quite unique, able to turn defeats around, especially in the second half, which is where they can avenge their first-half defeat.

Saka and Odegaard aren't that different, and I think he's also very capable of creating chances and executing the ball.

Atletico Madrid did not begin this season well but they gradually improved their performances and their form recently is very oustanding. They are returning to top position in La Liga and ready to join the title race in coming weeks if the outstanding form will be maintained. In Champions League, surely they want to come back with another win in order to improve their rank and increase chances of going to a next phase in a safe way.

The rising form of Atletico Madrid actually comes from Julian Alvarez who has been showing likely his best form since his departure from Manchester City to Atletico Madrid last season. He will be a biggest hope of Atletico Madrid in attacks for beating Arsenal in this match and also very important player for the club in all competitions this season.

Huge disappointment for Atletico Madrid supporters, they had to accept defeat, I thought that the result of the match might result in a draw the first half really made it difficult for this team to create opportunities, Arsenal managed to beat Atletico Madrid with a score of 4-0 and this put them at the top with 3 full wins, Arsenal will be seen as having a big chance as a strong challenger this season in the Champions League with a performance like this compared to other representative teams from the Premier League  England, we will wait for the results of the matches from Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool, I have a little doubt about Liverpool because they have lost enthusiasm in playing in their domestic league, I am afraid they will be carried over to the Champions League.

- Arsenal vs. Atletico Madrid 0-0

a real disappointment, I didn't expect Arsenal to not even score a goal
So is it arsenal's fault or atletico madrid's merit, good question?
I don't like draw games, I mean no goals, it means they were boring and without fun... absolutely a failed match

Sorry, this is just an update of the score when the op posted it, because in the second half, Arsenal managed to score, in fact, four goals. There were no goals in the first half, and the first goal came in the 12th minute of the second half.

Atletico Madrid couldn't do anything in this match. They struggled to keep up with Arsenal's play, and they couldn't even create many chances. They only managed to direct the ball on target with just one of their 11 attempts.

ah here
That's good
A Champions League match that ends 0-0 would make me angry, I didn't follow this one and I didn't see the results of this one (I focused on the matches of the Italian teams) but it would have been really bad to end 0-0

thank you for your update

[KTChampions]

Yeah, they literally smashed them down. I was expecting that outcome and placed the bet on PSV win. I also predicted PSG's victory over Bayer Leverkusen, Barcelona's win against Olympiacos, and Arsenal's victory over Atletico. However, predicting high-scoring results in those matches was the tough call for me, so I just went with 1x2 bets. All the bets I placed yesterday gave a nice boost to my bankroll.

Good picks. I don't know how you figured out how to bet on PSV. It seemed like Napoli, with only three points after two rounds and a loss to Torino in the previous game, would learn from their mistakes and play more reliably both defensively and offensively. But instead, they collapsed. I added a Double Chance to my multiple bet on Napoli, and that's precisely why it lost. The odds were 7+. It's quite disappointing when such an unexpected outcome ruins a multiple bet.

[Velvet78]

What a night man... This could be the loveliest Champions League day ever.    43 goals were scored in 9 games. What can a football lover ask more?

Some interesting events from the night:

- 4 goals by Barcelona in 12 minutes
- 4 goals by Arsenal in 14 minutes
- 4 goals by PSG in 13 minutes
- 3 goals by PSV in 10 minutes

I can understand the way Olympiacos lost. But that was really embarrassing for Leverkusen and Napoli both. Especially Leverkusen are just done since Xabi Alonso left the team. They can't compete big teams even a bit...

[DubemIfedigbo001]

I don't know if I'm the only person that saw how Olympiacos was robbed last night starting from the false second yellow card which the referee refused to review and var intentionally didn't call him back, replays shows that there was no contact with the Barca player, he only went down and the referee bought his antics and sent the Olympiacos player off.

Secondly, Rashford's dive was never a penalty but the referee gave it away which signified a second point on bias in the officiating of that match, at a point it was obvious the referee was robbing the away team and that further demoralized them. The match would have been more entertaining if the referee was neutral, because at the start of second half Olympiacos was clearly much returning the pressure on the Barca team but those erroneous officiating proceedings tilted the dynamics of the match towards Barca's favour and hence the match's brutal outcome.

[Egii Nna]

The red card should not be an excuse for napoli to justify the way they lost. It was obvious that from the beginning of the match napoli was not in the game, as they were struggling before even the red card in second half of the game. Napoli was already down by 2:1 in the first half and I expected that, they will put up a much better performance in the second half but it was thesame thing until the red car came and everything went from bad to worst. This result is not a good one for a top team like napoli a smaller losing margin like 2:1 or even 3:1 would have been better.not losing as much as 6:2 this is totally unacceptable for a team like napoli.

Napoli will not make anything in the Champions League this season due to the way their performance is going in the competition. Just as you mentioned, conceding six goals from PSV is not something we all expected. But since the first half, we saw that Napoli were having a hard time, and they still ended up getting a red card, which affected them even more. That is why the game ended that way. But still, Napoli has to focus more. Maybe they have forfeited the Champions League race this season and want to focus more on the domestic league.

Tuesday's matches were high in goals, so let's see how Wednesday's matches will be. I think we'll see matches with fewer goals.

It looks like this week's Champions League matchday will be the one with the most goals because honestly I've never seen such a high goal ratio before especially considering the remaining matches where there are still several clubs that could potentially score big today.

Madrid vs Juventus is clearly a match that could see plenty of goal-scoring drama. Earlier in the past two weeks Juventus scored 6 goals and conceded 6 against Dortmund and Villarreal, so it’s not impossible that the match against Madrid could also be a goal fest.

On one hand I’m really hoping for Bayern to do the same. What’s clear is that the goal scoring party isn’t over yet, as Week 3 of the Champions League could still deliver surprises that even the most die hard fans couldn’t have imagined.

It was really unimaginable that Arsenal would start the second half so well. Looking at the first half, it seemed that maybe someone could win the match by 1 or 2 goals, but Arsenal came out in a very good form in the second half, which was really unimaginable. Winning 4-0 against Atletico Madrid is a very big thing for Arsenal. I said yesterday that maybe Arsenal would win, and that's exactly what happened. But I never thought that Arsenal would win and Atletico Madrid would lose by such a big margin. But let's see how Arsenal plays in the upcoming matches. It is expected that they will do very well in the upcoming matches.

Arsenal proved their quality in this match, and it was a huge win that is crucial for further improving Arsenal's performance going forward.
I also didn't expect Arsenal to win 4-0. I thought Atletico Madrid would put up a tough fight, especially as we know Atletico Madrid's performance has improved significantly recently, but Arsenal's quality speaks for itself.

While it may sound excessive, if Arteta can maintain Arsenal's rhythm and consistency like in this match, it's very possible for Arsenal to be a fierce contender for the title this season.

[Solokan]

Later, we will watch the match between Barcelona and Olympiakos. It would be a shame to miss this match because Olympiakos will definitely try to defeat Barcelona, especially with several key Barcelona players still injured, which Olympiakos will surely take advantage of to win. However, Barcelona certainly won't want to lose, as they won't want to be defeated by Olympiakos, especially since Barcelona will be the home team in the upcoming match.

Flick must remain vigilant, as the clubs in this season's Champions League are undoubtedly strong teams, and Olympiakos is certainly one of them. I want to know your predictions for the upcoming match—will Barcelona win or will Olympiakos win? But in my opinion, Barcelona has a high chance of winning, even though some of their key players won't be able to play due to injuries. I believe Flick will strive to create a good strategy, and Barcelona will undoubtedly be the favorites to win in that match, right? In my opinion, the final score will be 3-1 in favor victory of Barcelona.

Barcelona won this match with a fantastic score of 6-1. In this match, I was truly impressed with the performance of the Barcelona players, because they really played very neatly in this match. Perhaps this is the turning point for Barcelona after their defeat in the previous match. In addition, in this match, Lopez was truly a very sharp player, because in this match he was able to score 3 very impressive goals. In addition, Rashford was also an impressive player, because in this match he was able to score 2 goals for Barcelona.

Then Yamal was also no less good in this match, because he also scored 1 goal in this match. So with that, I think now Barcelona will really show its fangs again. In addition, with this victory, Barcelona finally rose again in the Champions League ranking to 9th place temporarily. So with this, I think Barcelona will definitely be able to continue to rise in the ranking. Moreover, if all the main players return from injury, Barcelona's performance will definitely be even better.

Actually, I thought Barcelona would win, but I didn't expect them to score many goals, because key Barcelona players such as Raphinha and Lewandowski were out with injuries. However, Barcelona managed to score 6 goals against Olympiakos, which is certainly a good thing and will definitely boost their confidence in their upcoming matches.

Fermin, Rashford, and Yamal really performed well in this match, as they scored goals against Olympiakos. However, the other players also played well, because without the cooperation of all the players, it is certain that the goals against Olympiakos would not have happened. Now Barcelona's ranking has risen and they are now in 9th place, which is certainly a good achievement. It seems that if their key players who were injured have returned, it will certainly make Barcelona more likely to continue winning in their matches and eventually climb the rankings. In their next Champions League match, Barcelona will face Club Brugge, which is sure to be an exciting game. Let's see what happens next.

[@nn@_pen9]

Can Qarabag win again against Athletic Club in the upcoming match, even though their name is not as big as other teams, seeing their consistency in the Champions League is quite significant, they managed to win in their last 2 matches, in the upcoming match, Qarabag will be visiting the opponent's home, it is not easy to win, it takes hard work to achieve it, and I see Athletic's performance is inconsistent both domestically and in the Champions League. Most likely, I think Qarabag can steal points at the opponent's home later, looking at their previous performance.

Yeah, they literally smashed them down. I was expecting that outcome and placed the bet on PSV win. I also predicted PSG's victory over Bayer Leverkusen, Barcelona's win against Olympiacos, and Arsenal's victory over Atletico. However, predicting high-scoring results in those matches was the tough call for me, so I just went with 1x2 bets. All the bets I placed yesterday gave a nice boost to my bankroll.

You've certainly made some risky bets, but I have to say that if you don't take risks you'll never be able to bring home a winning bet. This is clearly something that you learn to refine over time. I would never have played PSV because it was an unpredictable match.

Prior to this match I have analyzed Napoli's last league matches and concluded that they tend to play sluggishly in the first half. So, my hope was based on PSV's energy, which partially paid off. Of course, Lorenzo Lucca's red card helped a lot, but I'm not complaining. A win is a win, no matter how it comes. And you're right, "no guts, no glory."

Arsenal clearly saw Atletico Madrid's weaknesses in the first half. Arteta tried to capitalize on this, and the Arsenal players delivered as expected.

Diego Simeone has actually been at Atletico Madrid for too long. He's been the manager there since 2011. And yes, that's a long time, and it seems Atletico Madrid doesn't dare take the risk of finding a new manager. So, even though the results haven't always been good every season, they continue to trust the manager and try to help him by bringing in the necessary players. But the results seem to have gotten worse lately. I'm not sure whether Atletico Madrid will dare to take a new step regarding their club's manager.

I wasn't really surprised that Arsenal won the match against Atletico Madrid yesterday,  but I was a little bit surprised on the scoreline. Like I mentioned on a post I commented on before the match, I said Arsenal will win the match, because I feel Arsenal has a better team than Atletico Madrid, I think Arsenal is better than them in almost all departments and Arsenal are also in a very good format, coupled with the fact that they are playing at home. Atletico Madrid never really had a chance in winning the game. Arsenal did not just win the game, but dominated the game too. I think they just sent a message to their doubters.

[Nightwatchmare]

The way PSG played tonight have made me change my opinion about them this season. Initially, I never really saw them like a big force but their outing tonight changed all that. Maybe the presence of Dembele was what they were missing and the fuel they needed to unleashed their venom on any team they catch. Not even a red card could slow them down, such an impressive game from the champions; if they keep this energy, they might just be on their way to winning the Champions League back to back.

Despite the red card PSG were still able to dominate the game against Leverkusen and interestingly all the 7 goals scored none came from penalty. Their attacking force seems unstoppable, but I wouldn’t want to underestimate the other top contenders. The journey to the Champions League final is still very long so I think while they are on their way to the defending their title they might face a couple of strong obstacles which we can't say for now how the outcome will turn out.

Bayer Leverkusen and PSG had red cards yesterday, so Bayer Leverkusen weren't at an advantage in the match. When Bayern Leverkusen scored from the penalty spot in the first half and PSG was red carded, i thought PSG would struggle to beat Bayer Leverkusen from away. The red card didn't affect PSG's performance in any way; they played like they were complete in the field. PSG quickly responded to Bayer Leverkusen by scoring 3 more goals before the break, and they won the match with a big goal margin in the second half. PSG didn't perform like this in the Champions league season but they won the Champions League. I wouldn't be surprised if PSG couldn't win the Champions League this season.

PSV 6 Napoli 2

A truly incredible and unexpected match! PSV practically crushed Napoli with a resounding 6-2 victory.
I'm really happy for PSV, they showed real strength and dominance! I feel sorry for Napoli, though. Such a crushing defeat against a lower-ranked opponent must be hard to swallow! But their coach deserves it! Once again, Antonio Conte blamed others instead of taking responsibility himself! Now the problem is the nine players the club bought for him so he wouldn't cry! But no! He preferred to make a fool of himself in public.

PSV is currently in top form because their attack is really good, so it's no surprise that they played well and scored many goals against Napoli. However, it is unfortunate that Napoli could not win the match, but what can you do because PSV is really strong and their players work well together, which ultimately resulted in many goals. As the home team, PSV performed well, while Napoli, as the visiting team, had to accept this reality. Of course, Conte was not very good at strategizing in this match, which ultimately led to Napoli's defeat.

But if Lucca hadn't been sent off, I think Napoli wouldn't have conceded so many goals, so even though they lost, it wouldn't have been too embarrassing. However, I lost my bet in this match because I thought Napoli would win, assuming they would perform well. Luckily, I didn't bet much money. Now, of course, there's still a chance for Napoli. In the next match, Napoli must be really serious when they play.
