UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

I can't just comprehend what Tottenham just played today... Ruin alot of people's tickets

Is not about Spurs killing people's ticket is how they played today that's what we should talk about with the set of good players they have, they played a terrible game from how I saw it but let's not put too much pressure on them and we should do that by seeing the coach as a first timer of playing an European competition. In this encounter Tottenham had only 1 shot on target against one of the finest in Europe competitions and that's Villarreal, these guys are running around the pitch to get something after the own goal but Spurs playing a bad game and also used it to frustrate the visitors and I'm not expecting Tottenham Hotspur to play the way they did tonight ever again in the champions league.
When making selections we should sometimes if not always, avoid all these newly promoted clubs that are playing the champions league, like the new faces. Well, a win is a win no matter the way a team performs, Thomas Frank have a lot of work to do with the club that's if they want to progress because this season will be very busy for them since they have this opportunity of playing in the UCL.

The come back is always real when it comes to Real Madrid and with them playing from home, you just know ain’t no way they would be loosing to Marseille. Though, it took them two penalties to do it, not the way they would want to go but, sure they would like to keep any 3 points they could get. 2 penalties in one game for Real Madrid, that’s one way to gift a champ by the league 1 side. They certainly didn’t take advantage of the Carvajal red card situation.

Real Madrid were fortunate to get a win even while playing 10 against 11 from the 72 minutes of the game. Kylian Mbappe has scored is 50 goals already for Real Madrid now and I still remember when he was finding it hard to adapt and many speaking of his move as a bad idea but now many are seeing him getting back to his best , helping them to compete more and can still see him contending for this or next season Ballon d'or which is increasing, in fact it will continue to increase as they progress and him continue to score/help the squad get more goals.

Wow, what a day for the Champions League…
Real managed to win in the end with one player less, while Juventus finished with a 4–4 draw against Dortmund. Two goals from Vlahovic, including one in the closing stages, helped Juventus secure a point from this tough match. Real, with two penalties in the game calmly converted by Mbappe, came away with all three points. I watched and really enjoyed the matches.Also, Royale Union and Qarabag were pleasant surprises, showing everyone that they are not in the Champions League by accident…Tottenham, with a minimal score, secured 3 points a truly fantastic day in the Champions League.

Noticed that the two clubs both had dramatic wins in their different leagues? Real Madrid won the game even with a man down and Juventus came from behind to upset Inter Milan so I feel that tonight's performance seemed to look like a repeat of that
 Is this the time to say that both Juventus and Madrid would stun people in the various leagues or is it too early? I know that Madrid has a strong base but Juventus are not the type of club that can be relied on in recent times but I'd have to admit that under Igor Tudor, the club has continued to wow the fans and I must admit that I didn't expect to see such a harvest of goals considering how the first half was a bit tight and uneventful.
 Both teams get to share the spoils whereas Madrid recorded their first win of the champions league.

I think it’s still too early to talk about something like that, but certainly both teams, Real and Juventus, are in form. They are not yet fully synchronized, but with time they surely will be. When you look at Juventus, in just two matches they scored 8 goals,4 against Inter and 4 against Dortmund, which is really impressive. Real got their first 3 points, but it won’t be easy because Carvajal has a red card, and we all know how much Dani means to them...

What a match this was! There weren't even a single goal in the first half, but there were a staggering eight in the second. The Champions League is a tournament with such intriguing matches. Juventus's pressure paid off in the final minutes, and they scored twice after the 90th minute, thus avoiding defeat. Kenan Yıldız continues his path to becoming a Juventus legend.

It was a harvest of goals. As someone who played over 2.5, I was reckless at halftime, but when the goals started pouring in the second half, I started smiling. Dortmund would be disappointed by the result. They were very close to picking all three points, if not for the two late goals in extra time that denied them the win. Vlahovic had a great game today, he was very instrumental in Juventus comeback.

I did not expect such a performance from Juventus and it now feels like a good majority of the average teams are channelling more energy into the champions league than they do with their domestic league, maybe again we should link forward to having another unsuspecting team winning  the champions league again this season like it happened with PSG last season, maybe it's time for one of these average team to do it again but the likes of Madrid and Arsenal are not playing either.

[Felicity_Tide]

Arsenal were always expected to win that game, no matter what. It would have been very disappointing if they got anything less than three points in that game. They are the better team, the more expensive and the more in-form team. The only advantage Bilbao had going into the game was that they were at home, but that advantage is not enough.
Bilbao missed Nico Williams on the left flank. He might have added something more for Bilbao if he were available.

I expected Arsenal to win the game, but I never underestimated Bilbao because I knew what it takes for a team from laliga to qualify for the champion's league. It's not as if Bilbao were that bad in the game, but Arsenal were just being Arsenal, so they made a way out for themselves in taking all three points. I doubt if any other big side will be able to play against Bilbao the way Arsenal did. All thanks to the Arsenal's bench. I hope Arteta now sees the true beauty of having a better squad depth.

Right now, I'm looking forward to Bayern vs Chelsea. It's going to be a very interesting fixture. Two clubs whose games are always interesting. I'm leaning towards Bayern Munich. They are in a better form and are at home, but football is tricky so I'm not writing Chelsea off.

I look forward to the Chelsea/Bayern game as well. And not to forget, Liverpool Vs A.Madrid as well. Seems tomorrow's fixtures might have more exciting entertainment than today's fixtures. There is a possibility for a draw in both games, especially in the Liverpool game, but there is a higher chance for Bayern to snatch all three points by a goal difference. Best of luck to all teams in action tomorrow.

Overall, Real Madrid started their Champions League campaign this season perfectly, although they had to struggle to beat Marseille. Mbappe did his job well, converting two penalties perfectly and ensuring Real Madrid secured three points. You could say Real Madrid was luckier in that match, and it's clear that Mbappé is now more productive in scoring goals. The path to winning the Ballon d'Or seems wide open if Mbappe can maintain his performance level.

Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso may not be satisfied with the way Real Madrid won, besides having to lose Trent Alexander-Arnold due to injury and at the same time Carvajal also getting a red card. Xabi Alonso still seems to have to experiment to find the best strategy for Real Madrid to win more easily.

Arsenal finally proved their supremacy over athletic Bilbao today in their champions league game by sealing the game in a flying colour without any chance for retaliation of any kind.

Arsenal are more in form than athletic Bibao,I was confident in Arsenal ability to win the game. The game in the first half ended as a draw with Arsenal dominating the space,although Athletic Bibao was  playing from home but Arsenal was able to proof that they were the strongest here. Arsenal form this season has been very impressive,they have only lost a single match to Liverpool since then, they have winning games. By weekends, Arsenal will be facing Manchester City in Emirates, it's going to be an interesting match to watch. Can Arsenal defeat Manchester City at home to secure the 3 points.

Yes, that's exactly what happened. They had 15 shots on target—imagine that many, but none could have scored a single goal. Their victory came thanks to two penalty kicks, and fortunately, Mbappé converted both. Marseille, on the other hand, got a lead in early time with a goal from Tommy Weah.

Moreover, Real Madrid also had 5 big chances and 9 corners, all of which failed to score a single goal. Wow, I really wonder if Marseille's defense is that strong, or is it just that Real Madrid's attackers' finishing is lacking this time?


But the saves made by the Marseille players, especially the goalkeeper, were truly extraordinary. They made 24 clearances, and their goalkeeper made 13 saves. I think it's impressive.

That’s what hard luck could do to you on some days when you get so confident in your play. It was the first game for all the teams that played today in the UCL and Real Madrid was out there to make the most of it. 15 on target shots and none found its way in the net, the penalty at the very least did save their axx from loosing their first game in the UCL, wouldn’t have want them to lose though.

Indeed it was hard luck that almost cost Real Madrid the game today cause having made those 15 good attempts without hitting the back of the net tells you that the ball was not in your favour because on a very good day they should have converted 5 out of the shots they was fired in the game. Marseille found the back of the net before Real Madrid but all thanks to Mbappe who converted the two penalty kicks to give his team home victory in the first match of the champions League for the team.

[Agbamoni]

Yeah they finally did and I was expecting it even before the game started but then with the way Arsenal played in the first half I was doubtful about their victory and thought the match might end in a draw because Athletic Bilbao was more dangerous and was the better team to me in the first half but things turned around in the second half.

I knew Arsenal will take the lead in the second half. The first half was more of understanding the game. Actually, kudos should be giving to Mikel Arteta for doing the right sub. Arsenal where the better team in the first half. They had better chances of scoring and few shots on target when compared to Athletic Bilbao. And lastly, the rejected stone became the chief corner stone today. Martinelli turned things around just in 10 minutes in the game. He scored a goal and gave an assist.

Yes, Real Madrid played very well in this match, as they ultimately won, even though both goals came from the penalty spot. But I think the two penalties awarded to Real Madrid are clear evidence of their excellent attack. Marseille's defenders were completely overwhelmed, forcing them to commit fouls in their own penalty area. So, I think this is a very good start for Real Madrid, and in future matches, I think Real Madrid must improve their attack, capitalizing on opportunities. In this match, I saw the problem in Real Madrid's attack, so with that in mind, I think Real Madrid must improve their attack even further.



In their second match, Real Madrid will face Kairat. I think this match will be much easier for Real Madrid than last night's match against Marseille. Kairat isn't a particularly strong team, so with that in mind, I think Real Madrid will definitely win this match by a large margin.

Arteta made brilliant substitution for second half match and make Arsenal success securing three points from the UEFA Champion League opening match against Athletic Bilbao. Two goals scoring by substitute players Gabriel Martinelli at 72th minutes and the second goals score by Leandro Trossard at 87th minutes, Arteta know well with his substitutes players and right replacement although have sent off Viktor Gyökeres replacing by Gabriel Martinelli.
Looking for games statistic, Arsenal dominance ball possession until 62% and success making 6 shots on target and looks easily how Arsenal will secure three points. Nice debut for Arsenal in this season and waiting the upcoming match in Champion League will get easily too for qualifying to knock out round without playing at playoff round?

Marseille found the back of the net before Real Madrid but all thanks to Mbappe who converted the two penalty kicks to give his team home victory in the first match of the champions League for the team.

Mbappe scored two goals, brought three points to Madrid and he surely is happy with his performance in this match. In a second season with Real Madrid, Mbappe will no longer want to miss UEFA Champions League title like the past season. He left PSG and joined Real Madrid for winning this title but he will need more than his individual performances for wining this title. His teammates must perform well too, whislt we can see that his teammates and Xabi Alonso still have many things for working together and cover existing weakness.

Overall, Real Madrid started their Champions League campaign this season perfectly, although they had to struggle to beat Marseille. Mbappe did his job well, converting two penalties perfectly and ensuring Real Madrid secured three points. You could say Real Madrid was luckier in that match, and it's clear that Mbappé is now more productive in scoring goals. The path to winning the Ballon d'Or seems wide open if Mbappe can maintain his performance level.

They started this UEFA Champions League season well but the red card of Carvajal is not good as they will not have this important defender next matches.In general, Real Madrid must play carefully to maximize points they can get in early matches of season as it will be helpful for them in latest months of the season. By making advantages in early months, they will have more options for player rotations in last months of the season and it will be essential for their performance stability and final endings in this season too.

Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso may not be satisfied with the way Real Madrid won, besides having to lose Trent Alexander-Arnold due to injury and at the same time Carvajal also getting a red card. Xabi Alonso still seems to have to experiment to find the best strategy for Real Madrid to win more easily.

Xabi Alonso is an ambitious coach and he will aim at perfect performance if possible while Real Madrid at the present still have several problems which are improvable. Especially their midfield and defense areas need to be enhanced in proactively defense capability which is important for Real Madrid in avoid dropping points as well as their competitiveness in big matches with strong opponents.

Arsenal finally proved their supremacy over athletic Bilbao today in their champions league game by sealing the game in a flying colour without any chance for retaliation of any kind. The game ended In favour of Arsenal, securing there three complete point in there first champions league game that gave people concerns because of athletic Bilbao outstanding performance in there league both last season and this season but arsenal made us to understand why they are one of the best team in the champions league this season ,
Apart from the complete three points collection, arsenal played an unimaginable football with over 60 percent possession and destructive statistics that would have yield to another goal if there was much time

Yeah they finally did and I was expecting it even before the game started but then with the way Arsenal played in the first half I was doubtful about their victory and thought the match might end in a draw because Athletic Bilbao was more dangerous and was the better team to me in the first half but things turned around in the second half.

I was glad that the substitution had a positive impact in the game, they both scored and assisted. They got what was important which is the 3 points. Trossard and Martinelli are the saviours of the match, that's what substitutions are expected to do when the team is in desperate need of help.

From the start of the game, it seemed like Arsenal would win. The match was very good and very exciting. Athletic did not play badly, they tried very hard, they played very well, but they could not win, Athletic's efforts were not lacking. It was very good for Arsenal to win this match. Because if they could not win this match, then the next matches would have been very difficult for Arsenal. Let's see what happens in the next matches and how Arsenal can perform.

Real got their first 3 points, but it won’t be easy because Carvajal has a red card, and we all know how much Dani means to them...

They can find a replacement for him no doubt. I mean the team where doing okay when he was out injured so I'm sure that filling in the gap in his absence won't be a difficult task for Xabi Alonso.
 It's quite funny how two times now Madrid have played with a man short yet they still find ways to win. This is just the start though. I hope they can maintain this brilliant performance in the long run.

[TastyChillySauce00]

The come back is always real when it comes to Real Madrid and with them playing from home, you just know ain’t no way they would be loosing to Marseille.

They certainly didn’t take advantage of the Carvajal red card situation.

So don't be surprised if Madrid will be conceded a lot when they fight the stronger team than Marseille. Without pens they would be losing. If they still playing like that in the bigger games, they will be humiliated by other big club. I know win is still win, but they can't always rely to the pens.
Their defense were often getting fallback, and create the space for Marseille players to make it until the 18 yard box. It's no way they're ready for the UCL. Just yet.

Nothing special, but I'm glad Madrid won. My note is that Madrid only managed to win by a narrow margin. It seems there's still a lot of work to be done by Xabi. Another issue is Trent Alexander-Arnold's injury. Then there's Dani Carvajal's red card. There's no definite news yet on Trent Alexander-Arnold; if it's a hamstring injury, he'll need at least four weeks to recover. Meanwhile, Carvajal's replacement will have to sit out due to the red card. They might face some challenges in the UCL. The good news is that Asencio is back. Camavinga and Jude are also back and can play on Saturday.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

From the start of the game, it seemed like Arsenal would win. The match was very good and very exciting. Athletic did not play badly, they tried very hard, they played very well, but they could not win, Athletic's efforts were not lacking. It was very good for Arsenal to win this match. Because if they could not win this match, then the next matches would have been very difficult for Arsenal. Let's see what happens in the next matches and how Arsenal can perform.

As I predicted earlier, Athletic Club will have a hard time facing Arsenal even though they are playing in front of their own fans. The defeat to Alaves marks the beginning of a decline in Athletic Club performance after previously winning three consecutive games in La Liga. They played quite well and didn't make many mistakes, but Arsenal strength made it difficult for them to create chances. The first three points were easily earned even though Arsenal were playing away from home, and Arteta will again demand that his players do the same because every point collected will make it easier for them to qualify for the next round.

This match was not very difficult for Arsenal. Atletico Madrid is currently in very good form and their performance was very weak. They conceded two goals but could not respond to one. Basically, the team's performance has gone down a lot compared to before. However, Arsenal attacked quite strongly and they won until the last minute by scoring two goals, Arsenal's performance was really impressive. The next matches will not be very difficult for Arsenal. They will easily win and collect their important points. If Arsenal can manage their team more strongly this season, they will definitely be in a good position.
