UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[AYOBA]

Manchester City performances are no longer powerful again, unlike before, when the team was so good that most of the teams were even afraid to face them, but now nobody is even talking good about their performances. Last season was a very bad season for them, and instead of the coach doing the needful for the team so that they would be much better, for them to fight for the Champions League and Premier League, he couldn’t do anything about the team.

This shows that, as you said earlier, even this season there will not be any single changes from the teams since the players that they used last season, who performed very poorly for the team, are all in this new season again, and they are expecting their performances to be better. How is that going to be possible? And that’s why people didn’t consider them a favorite team to win any leagues this season.

It is true that Manchester City did very poor last season in all competition but we shouldn't judge them from their past the season just started and they perform well in their previous games, I get your point though they are no longer powerful as before because they lost much game last season and they are still playing with those previous footballers no new player added but let's see if their performance this season will be better than last

It’s not that we’re trying to judge them based on how they ended the past season with poor performances, as we well know that there are a lot of teams that end with bad performances, but this season they tried to make corrections from their mistakes. That’s why they said a downfall of the man is not the end of his life. Let’s look at the Chelsea performances this season; there’s a lot of improvement, and their performances past seasons were so challenging in the Premier League.

Furthermore, as you said earlier, since the season just started and they did well in their previous game against Wolves, let’s see if their old players can turn the team into something better than last season by performing well and bringing a good outcome to the team to prevent finishing up in the same position in the table this season.

In the Champions League's toughest match of the night, Benfica eliminated Fenerbahçe 1-0 with a goal from Turkish player Kerem Aktürko?lu. Benfica will enter the Champions League from the second pot, and the draw will take place today. It's safe to say that Benfica were the more effective side throughout the match. They scored a few goals, but they were disallowed. Furthermore, goalkeeper Livakovic prevented several clear-cut chances. Don't let the single-goal scoreline fool you, but Benfica played very well.

It was obvious in my opinion, Benfica is a better team than these others, it's a shame because Fenerbahçe could have done a little more, I'm not a fan of Turkish teams obviously but these are teams that could easily play in the Champions League, without too many problems.

Benfica deserve to qualify with that performance, they showed character, they showed they wanted it more, they showed they really want to be in the champions league this season. It was an exciting match, Top atmosphere, and the intensity was top notch also. Benfica scored a couple of times but got ruled out by Var as Offside but they still managed to put one pass Jose morihno side.

Right from the goalless draw in that first leg I knew Benfica will take advantage of the second leg since they would be playing at home, they fans really played a big part in that win yesterday, they were behind those players, and that made it very easy for them to get the win.

It was a good one, though it disappointing we won’t be seeing the Jose morihno drama in the champions league this season, it always fun to have him in the champions league.

Benfica-Fenerbahçe was a big game and I expected nothing less than a competitive match between the pair. Pre game Benfica have recorded two wins and two draws in four and Fenerbahce have not won so it was an easier bet to pick Benfica over Fenerbahçe and boy was I right

To add that Benfica hardly loses when they play at home, they had played against Fenerbahce in the friendly game in which Benfica played at home and won, so it was expected that Benfica would win that game, Turkish teams have not done well in European competitions, it is not only Fenerbahce that is in this situation, Galatasaray will also be eliminated early in the Champions League and the saddest thing is that Fenerbahce has a good squad and a good coach, but even so it has had a poor performance in European competitions


It was a very bad night for Ranger fans



In the first leg, they lost and conceded 3 goals. But at least they managed to score 1 goal, which gave them some hope for the second leg. Unfortunately, in the 5th minute, they conceded the first goal, and the situation worsened in the 8th minute when they were reduced to 10 players. They could no longer reverse the result of the first leg.

[iamsange]

At this level, all matches are certainly interesting. Even this match, which saw Fenerbahçe lose, was a tough one for both teams, and in the end, the team that in some ways deserved it more, Benfica, won. Nothing is said yet, however. Starting now we can said

Benfica deserved the win after fighting so hard in the second leg, so everyone will see Benfica in the Champions League this season. However, I also regret Fenerbahçe's defeat, as the team was capable of fighting, even though they couldn't equalize in the second leg with a goal in the 35th minute by a Benfica player. And because of that victory, Benfica's players will surely be quite motivated to continue their domestic season in their own league, hoping to challenge for the title this season.

I also said that Benfica would win, in my opinion they are a better team than the others and in fact it showed, because I bet on them in my bets and I must say that I was completely satisfied with the choice I made, placing my trust in them paid off greatly.

[lizarder]

I thought a new goal-scoring record would be set in the Club Brugge-Rangers match, but it wasn't. The score was 6-0 in the 52nd minute. After that, Club Brugge had more possession but didn't choose to attack Rangers. Perhaps they found six goals sufficient. The substitutions may have also affected Team Brugge's tempo.

I found Brugge to be very good. Brugge could achieve greater success in the Champions League this year.

The big win came at home to Club Brugge, even though they also won the first leg 3-1 at Rangers. The substitutions were necessary, considering that Club Brugge were comfortable with their wins in both matches. I didn't imagine Rangers losing in this manner, as I initially thought they could match Brugge's strengths, as the two teams should be fairly evenly matched.

But the reality was the opposite, and Brugge performed much better in both away and home matches. This victory can boost the motivation of Brugge players because they have performed so solidly so far and hope for the best this season for Brugge in the Champions League.

[Velvet78]

What a horrible performance by Fenerbahce last night.    They should be thankful for not conceding more goals. Because Benfica were so comfortable with organizing attacks throughout the game.

The Turkish side were really bad in defense and offense both. Not even a shot on target. Actually there was a shot hitting the post which could have been a silver lining. At the end the side deserving league phase the most made it...

Yes, at this stage, Benfica is definitely stronger than Fenerbahce, and the first half showed this very clearly. Although Fenerbahce was lucky at the start and the referee disallowed several goals, Benfica still managed to score and win in the end. Fenerbahce played well and were a worthy opponent for Benfica, but it’s obvious that Benfica is a higher level team, and Fenerbahce cannot compete with them right now.

Upon the 1-0 results of Benfica in leg 2, Mourinho failed to bring the team he trained to play in the Champions League for this season.
0-0 results in leg1 and 1-0 in Leg2 show that Under betting on Benfica vs Fenerbahçe for two legs makes the results of an unexpected betting analysis for those who estimate over.

Benfica is now entering Pot 2 which is a member of Arsenal, Leverkusen, ATM, Atalanta, Villarreal, Juventus, Frankfurt and Club Brugge on the draw to be carried out.

Manchester City has good players, but I do not expect them to do well in the Champions League this season. The squad performance remains unchanged after playing against Tottenham Spurs, and it is clear that any team can beat them. Manchester City is not using the same players as last season, they have signed more players to improve their performance, yet, we have not seen any improvements in their games, perhaps they need more time to improve.

In my opinion, if Manchester City wants to get back to their winning ways, they must hire a new manager who can build the team with a new strategy. Guardiola lacks the strategy which he can use to improve his team since other teams are familiar with their style of play. Guardiola must leave the team in order to be at the top again, otherwise, Manchester City will struggle to finish among the top four teams this season.

The many matches from the UCL qualifying round to the play off round, I was a little surprised by the results obtained by Club Brugge. Get a total aggregate score of 9 after defeating Rangers. And in the qualifying round, Club Brugge also performed very interesting with a very strong consistent. This makes me think this team seems very excited at UCL this season and we must always consider in every match. Because Club Brugge seems to be underestimated this season.

[joniboini]

Because Club Brugge seems to be underestimated this season.

Underestimated by whom, though? Is it the bookmarkers? As far as I can remember, Club Brugge regularly plays in the UCL. I think they managed to go into the knockout round twice in the last 5 seasons, so it is not surprising news if they managed to do it again. Maybe the new format force them to adopt somewhat since they failed to qualify for the R16 last season, but I'm not surprised if some people put them as the underdogs (for the knockout round, not for winning the competition. CMIIW.

Club brugge is not a puny team. They have the ability to perform well. The team is always confiden t, mainly about qualifying for the Champions league. But this season, the team's performance in the Belgian pro league was not as good as expected. Despite this , the team is able to perform quite good in the Champions league qualifiers. We have seen great performance from brugge in the two matches against Rangers. The team won the away match 3- 1 and the home match 6 -0. If this tendency continues, we will see decent performance from the team in the first round of the Champions league as well.

That wasn't a real match, lol.
I can't believe Fenerbahçe were that bad, they couldn't play a good game. I was very disappointed watching their game, although I was happy Benfica won. Okay, Mourinho is definitely finished.

By the way, I was quite impressed with the Kazakhstan team, Kairat, they qualified for the Champions League for the first time after a hard-fought victory over Celtic, we'll see this new team in the UCL competition and they might even cause a surprise.

Considering that Celtic also didn't make it into the Champions League, it turns out that Scotland is left without the Champions League this year. I don't remember exactly but it seems that usually one of the teams got into the group stage. Bad trend, but maybe it's even good because the competition in the LE is much lower and now the Scottish teams will really be contenders for the title.

@len01, Club Brugge be good enough for recognition this season in my opinion. no need huge talk just look after their thrashing the Rangers 6 - 0 in the second leg, they without any hitch won the UCL playoffs with an beyond belief 9 - 1 aggregate. so could you recognise The Blue Black is not just only consistent, they are completely savage! !

You know, Brugge has advanced to the round of 16 twice before in 22 - 23 season & 24 - 25 season, however this push feels more groundbreaking, right? So there is no doubt that the Blue Black are more than just qualifiers, they are come up with real threats now. if you are sports bettor then don't miss their move...

Chelsea have made quite a number of changes to their squad from last season, it is normal that after making many changes that they team will need time to play together and build good team chemistry so I think Chelsea are currently lacking that connection between the players especially the incomings. Let?s see how quickly and well they can blend in and make maximum impact this season.
Many times new arrivals change the fate of a team because they don't find much affinity with each other, but I have to say that there are many players who, once in the team, manage to do very well and have fun and make others have fun and play well with their teammates too, so it's not a given that they don't get along well with each other.

Integrating into the team is not an easy thing and it takes time, it is not something you can improvise, you have to have a plan to integrate people
not to mention that you can't take all the talents, you have to make the team stable and varied

Chelsea are going in the right direction in my opinion

Fenerbahçe were actually eliminated because they missed out on a victory in the first leg. Benfica were down to ten men in the first leg, and Fenerbahçe couldn't find the net. Fenerbahçe were also down to ten men in the second leg, but their performance wasn't enough to secure a victory anyway. They had only six shots in the 90 minutes and no shots on target. With these statistics, their chances in the Europa League seem slim. They struggled to find the net.

Benfica got a deserved win against Fenerbache yesterday and the scoreline does not tell the story of the match. Fenerbache was really poor yesterday and should have conceded more goal, although I was really surprised because I expected more from Fenerbache.
Benfica outclassed them and really deserves to win and qualify for the champions league. They will very good last night in every department and I really enjoyed the game. Congratulations to Benfica.
