UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[PokerDiceMan]

The Real Madrid vs. Juventus match is still tied 0-0 at halftime, and statistically, Real Madrid dominated the first half, creating several chances but failing to score. And I believe Real Madrid will score in the second half.

The match ended and Madrid managed to get 3 points in this match although it cannot be denied that Juventus' resistance was truly impressive in this match and as a Madrid fan I was a little frustrated with Juventus' excellent defense.
Not only was their defense and defensive players consistent but Di Gregorio was also like a solid wall with an abundance of saves. Madrid's play wasn't bad but the saves Di Gregorio made in this match were truly remarkable.

On the other hand, I actually don't really like Xabi using the 4-4-2 formation because although their attacking pattern is still very good I prefer them to use the 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation as their standard setup. While their dominance is very good in the 4-4-2 for me it's a bit less effective.

If we look at the squad's players, those whose original position is winger, Real Madrid is more suited to playing a 4-3-3 formation compared to a 4-4-2. This is to maximize the potential of their players. Rodrygo, who is a winger, is rarely played by Xabi Alonso, not even as a substitute.

The match between Chelsea vs Ajax was a very rough one. They got shown all manners of cards from the referee and caused 3 penalties in the first period alone. It's inspiring to see that the club has grown to fit properly in the champions league once again; T.George came from the bench and recorded his name as part of those that made history in the champions league tonight.

On the other hand, Ajax have lost their potentials and have paid the price for being selfish with the team's revenue, instead of packing up the squad with better players. What were they expecting from the match? A win? It doesn't just happen miraculously... They were obviously going to get trashed, just like every other time.

You should have never expected Club Brugge to do better against Bayern Munich because you know that Bayern Munich is far better than Club Brugge in all aspects, and considering that Bayern Munich was at home, it will be difficult for Club Brugge to even be a threat for Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena. The Bayern Munich vs Club Brugge match played the way I expected, but I was surprised that Bayern Munich only scored four goals.

Bayern Munich is currently in top form, so betting on their opponents to win carries a greater risk of losing. Overall, Bayern Munich performance is quite good, both in the domestic league and the Champions League, and they are still on a winning streak.

Club Brugge felt the strength of Bayern Munich, as statistically, they didn't create any real clear-cut chances. Bayern dominated the match from the start, and Brugge didn't put up any real resistance. I expected a lot of goals, but a 4-0 victory was enough to demonstrate Bayern Munich impressive performance.

I know that Bayern Munich was going to win at the end of the day what I meant is that I expected Club Brugge to perform better than they did I was never expecting them to defeat Bayern Munich, following the form of Bayern Munich you would risk them to lose a champions League game at home. I was hoping that Club Brugge  would make the game a bit difficult for Bayern Munich I never knew that they will be finishing the game without making any good attempts, Bayern Munich is too strong now.

The Galatasaray stadium was once again packed today. There was a terrible hum, and the atmosphere from the Liverpool match continued today. Osimhen continues his scoring streak, scoring immediately in the second minute after a Bodo error, followed by a pass from Lemina. Osimhen's pressure led to the second goal, and he applied so much pressure that a mistake was inevitable for Bodo.

However, with Yunus's pressure on the second goal, Galatasaray won the ball, and Osimhen finished. The third goal came under pressure. Galatasaray are very good at home.

It was a deserving win for Galatasaray because they proved to be the better side. Osimhen got a brace but I am not pleased because he should have scored more goals.  He had many chances that were squandered.  Anyway, the Turkish side has gotten the three points, moving them to the fourteenth position. It would be good to see them qualify for the next and they will achieve more if they keep improving and winning games.

I think Victor Osimhen is showing why Galatasaray wanted him to stay back he’s proving to be indispensable for both club and country. Since his return Galatasaray has been getting better results in the Champions League, I think he’s really underrated by this European clubs. Good win today and good performance but just like you said he could have scored more., I still think he’s amongst the top 5 strikers in the world.

The rest of the game today all went almost according to script there were no much surprises today. Atalanta is really struggling this season to score goals and even to win matches. And Madrid even when they struggle always find a way to win, a good trait for them.

The match between Chelsea vs Ajax was a very rough one. They got shown all manners of cards from the referee and caused 3 penalties in the first period alone. It's inspiring to see that the club has grown to fit properly in the champions league once again; T.George came from the bench and recorded his name as part of those that made history in the champions league tonight.

On the other hand, Ajax have lost their potentials and have paid the price for being selfish with the team's revenue, instead of packing up the squad with better players. What were they expecting from the match? A win? It doesn't just happen miraculously... They were obviously going to get trashed, just like every other time.

Penalties are won and red card issued out due to poor tackles. These referees are no manting up, and very crucial in their condition. I was surprise to see Chelsea winning games with ease, not even wasting time and coming out stronger, this is the Chelsea we needed to watch and they've deliver good piece of play. Tonight happens to be one of the best night for the Blues, they handled winning so properly and have become a leading team in UEFA Champions League. Ajax was humbled by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. This is what we're talking about, to see Enzo Maresca winning games so easily. Chelsea riot Ajax with full goal margin.

I think with Bayern Munich current consistency, showing stability in every competition, they have a great chance to win the Champions League this season. Club Brugge is not really a match for them, in many aspects, Bayern Munich are the clear favorites, so it’s no surprise that Kompany’s team managed to secure the victory quite easily.

Overall, I see the competition for the trophy this season as quite competitive, even the battle to finish in the top eight of the standings is very tight. However, I believe Bayern Munich will not face any significant difficulties in advancing to the round of 16.

The most exciting match to watch in my opinion was the Real Madrid vs Juventus clash that showed lots of talents from both teams and no dull moments as they created goal scoring opportunities that led both keepers to an outstanding performance.

We saw a great display of class from Vinicius Jnr today with the drive and flair that led to the goal. Arda Guller on the other hand, held his position tight breaking through lines and holding on the ball to create more chances which led him to win the "man of the match" award.

For me, I think Real Madrid deserved to win because they were the better team on the pitch, not disregarding the performance of the opposing team though but they had a better performance. It wasn't really the best game but a good game for them as they succeeded in securing a win.

This match between Real Madrid and Juventus was defensively terrible. Both teams played their best game by counter-attacking.However, I didn't notice any poor performance from any team's players in this match.Today's match may have been won because of good quality players like Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.Because Vinicius Junior's performance in this match was excellent, and his short attack hit the goalpost and Billingham took advantage of that and slotted the ball straight into the goal post. A great performance earned them a 1-0 win over Juventus.

If we look at the squad's players, those whose original position is winger, Real Madrid is more suited to playing a 4-3-3 formation compared to a 4-4-2. This is to maximize the potential of their players. Rodrygo, who is a winger, is rarely played by Xabi Alonso, not even as a substitute.

When Xabi Alonso actually did arrived I was expecting he will use the 3-4-3 formation but I think he looked at his defense and actually found out that he can’t play such formations and then many people actually thought it will be a 4–4-2 formation with Vinicius and Mbappe upfront but I could remember him actually using this formation in the club World Cup and it definitely showed signs of not working and that’s why he went to actually improvise to play a diamond formation which has been effective due to two players, Mastantuono and Arder Guler,


He plays a double pivot of two central midfielders and then Arder Guler Ahead of them and then plays Vinicius on the left wing, Mastantuono on the right and Mbappe through the center, this is like 4-2-1-3 formation or he switches to play Mbappe as a lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation with same players and it’s working for him because it is similar to the 4-3-3 formation, I could remember when he twerk this formation and dropped Mastantuono in the Atletico Madrid game for Bellingham for a direct 4-3-3 it backfired and they experienced an humiliating loss which happens to be their only loss for the season

At the moment Chelsea is not a worthy opponent for Ajax and as we saw Chelsea dominated the match in all line while Ajax couldn't do anything so it's no surprise that Chelsea won with 5 goals. Regarding the red card incident, it is normal when a team loses and players will be more aggressive so the red card is unavoidable, this happens to almost all teams in the same situation. It must be admitted that today the Premier League teams dominated all the matches and won except Tottenham who only drew, is this a sign that EPL teams will dominate the Champions League?

I didn't watch the Galatasaray match. It seems it came earlier than the rest. Was the Nigerian star boy - Osimehn able to score?

Osimhen scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist. He was excellent in the match and definitely one of the best players on the pitch.
Tonight, we got to see his old form again, he’s truly a top-quality striker.

Galatasaray earned an easy win. I actually expected a tougher match, but we got the victory.
We struggled a bit in the second half, but we managed to win.
It was a very important three points for us, and this victory brings us much closer to advancing to the next round.

Bodo…shouldn’t be that much of an issue, were they?
They were actually champions from another league in Norwegian football, which is the top division, Eliteserien… did a quick check.
I don’t know what happened, but I think they should have given more of a headache than what they did tonight because you guys truly had it easy.
btw, you’re the first guy ive encountered to be a fan

Bodo are a tricky team, they can cause real problems for their opponents and play very fast football. I didn’t expect it to be an easy match.
Yes, their league isn’t stronger than ours, but they’re the best team in their own league.
In their last two Champions League matches, they drew against Slavia Prague and Tottenham.

Even with the fouls and rough tactics ajax could notnl score more than a single goal, this tells you how poor their performance is right now...like you said, ajax have really lost their potentials, this isn't the team that we used to know, they are in a terrible form right now...Chelsea's performance was expected, they have been doing very well in the ucl and I think with the way are keeping up they might have the chance to get to the finals

What’s going on with the UCL in matchday 3? It feels like almost every team is fired up to score big! Like I said before, when a team gets a red card and is forced to play with only 10 men, they usually end up getting hammered. Just look at Chelsea scoring 5 after an Ajax player got sent off.

Matchday 3 really proves that most of the top teams are going all out to make a statement in this season’s UCL.

Yup almost all the favorite teams won their matches except Tottenham and Atalanta, For Tottenham we are not too surprised because their performance has been inconsistent lately but for Atalanta they should be able to win because they are playing at home but unfortunately Atalanta could not take advantage of the moment. Both teams are in the middle of the table based on points and yeah there is still a chance to catch up, as long as they can win the remaining matches.

I can't understand why Rodrygo shouldn't be playing. Real Madrid has many players, and one of them could be Brazilian. Perhaps Xabi Alonso has a slight prejudice against Rodrygo. He's a player who can play for Real Madrid and show his strengths. I think he should be given three or four matches.

[snipie]

Yup almost all the favorite teams won their matches except Tottenham and Atalanta...

Yeah I agree except for Napoli and Marseille, I assume they ruined a lot of people bets along with Tottenham Hotspur and Atalanta.
As you mentioned for the latter two teams, their performance is not good and betters should not rely a lot on them this season, whether in their domestic leagues or UEFA Champions League.
For the first two teams that I mentioned, it is quite weird their defeat and will refrain people from trying their luck with them.
It is ridiculous to see a team like Ajax Amsterdam sitting in the last spot of 36 teams with no point, only one goal scored and 11 received goals. We should count the sum of the received goals of the first 6 teams in the ranking to pass Ajax 11 goals..

[Solokan]

The Real Madrid vs Juventus match was a very tense game in my opinion because I saw that both teams were equally strong. Juventus really showed their strength to the fullest, for example when Real Madrid attacked Juventus' defense many times but always had difficulty scoring goals. However, Juventus also had good opportunities to score goals against Real Madrid, but unfortunately the Juventus players were unable to take advantage of these opportunities.

Real Madrid eventually won the match with a narrow 1-0 score, with Bellingham scoring the goal by capitalizing on a rebound off the Juventus goalpost. Unfortunately, Juventus couldn't respond to Real Madrid's goal, ultimately having to accept defeat and return home empty-handed. As the home team, Real Madrid secured three points, undoubtedly pleasing their fans. Fortunately, I bet on Real Madrid's victory in that match, which ultimately paid off. Real Madrid has been performing exceptionally well so far this season, having not lost a single match in the Champions League. Currently, Real Madrid is ranked fifth, which is certainly a positive development.

Looking at the current table, Ajax sits bottom of the Champions League table. They're also struggling to score goals. They only have one goal, a penalty against Chelsea. Other than that, they're very ineffective offensively. They have a -10 goal difference, and it would be a miracle for them to finish in the top 24 in their remaining five matches. Perhaps they can achieve this if they win all five. It's worth noting that it will be very difficult. They played very poorly against Chelsea.

In my opinion, the match between Chelsea and Ajax was very bad because there was nothing exciting to see in this match.Ajax players committed fouls one after another and one of their players left the field after receiving a red card.Their performance was really bad because they couldn't play an offensive game in this match.They scored only one goal through a penalty shootout. They also couldn't do anything dangerous. But yes, Chelsea showed their best performance.They managed to score four goals before the end of the first half, and one was a penalty shootout.And although they scored one goal in the second half, they won the match by a huge margin.
