UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[lizarder]

Union SG played brilliantly against PSV. Their attacking play was excellent and more effective than PSV. El Hadj's second goal was also very beautiful, a solo run to score in the oaway match is not easy. This goal served as a warning to other teams that Union SG, despite being in the Champions League for the first time and underdog, they may showing us a good football entertainment. A great moment an history for Union SG has been achieved for their first match in UCL.

This was a match that perhaps no one had predicted and perhaps even one that some football fans had missed. Union SG's victory at PSV Eindhoven's home ground seemed very surprising. Given the quality of their players, PSV Eindhoven should have won easily, but the outcome was beyond expectations. Union SG didn't have much pressure on their shoulders, as they weren't the preferred team, allowing for a more relaxed game without pressure.

PSV Eindhoven dominated the entire match, but Union SG exploited their weaknesses to score three goals. This was truly extraordinary because with the dominance held by PSV Eindhoven, they were able to score three important goals in the match and bring them three full points. I am not sure Union SG can repeat the same thing when facing another team that is much stronger than them.

Tomorrow morning in my country, there are too many UCL matches I want to watch.
Bayern Munich vs Chelsea
Liverpool vs Atletico
PSG vs Atalanta
What are your predictions? I want to place a bet. At least I can take advantage of this moment so I don't lose. I'll probably bet on the home team to win with odds of 1.65. Or maybe I need to add four other UCL matches. But I'm a little hesitant because my money is limited.

The Juventus vs Bayern match was very exciting because we saw both teams raply goals. Of course, we saw that Juventus was very ambitious to win, as was Bayern. The 4-4 score that resulted from the match was certainly extraordinary and very entertaining for me because it was such an exciting match. Juventus, despite trailing by two goals, managed to equalize, resulting in a 4-4 draw. Both teams must now settle for one point each. Did you find the match entertaining?

Yes, you are right.The Juventus vs Bayern match was exciting. They fought very well to stay ahead in the points table. Both teams were very aggressive throughout the match. Even though Juventus were 2 goals behind, their morale did not weaken. On the contrary, their aggression increased. If Bayern's defense had been a little weaker, Juventus would have taken control of the match. As the game progressed, the attacks of both teams became stronger and more precise. The game ended in a 4-4 draw. Which makes me very happy.

If the other matches are as exciting as this match, I think it will be a great season.

You're wrong, Juventus didn't play against Bayern, they played against Dortmund, so it seems you didn't watch the game and only saw the final score. Besides, Bayern Munich is playing against Chelsea today. You seem confident discussing it, but unfortunately it's not Bayern. 

That's right, let's think positively. Maybe @Mehmet69 and @Solokan made a mistake in writing, which should have been Juventus vs Dortmund, but instead became against Bayern. This is a common occurrence. Or maybe, as you said, they missed watching it altogether, but that's okay.

By the way, I'm also looking forward to Bayern vs Chelsea. I'm rooting for Bayern to win this match. The game will be held at the Allianz Arena, where they'll have the moral support of their fans, which could motivate the players to perform at their best.

This new format allows you to play a team once at this stage which can either be home or away match. Home and away match will continue during the knockout stages just the way it use to be before.

If it is one time that they will play, that means it can neither be a home nor an away match. I think another stadium will be used for it. I do not know but I think so because using one club home stadium is partiality.

As for Arsenal match, Athletic Bilbao were just unfortunate for not winning that match. The outcome favoured Arsenal but their performance was not something to be proud of. A draw could be a more fair result judging from both teams performance.

I did not watch the match but Athletic Bilbao has 2 goals on target while Arsenal had 6 goals on target. Also Arsenal dominated the match but Athletic Bilbao tried and did great as they had more corner kicks but I still think Arsenal is better.

The most obvious bet is to put money on Bayern, Liverpool and PSG winning. However, there's always the risk of one of those matches ending in a draw. I don't want to bet on amount of goals, but I have the feeling that Bayern, Liverpool and PSG are going to score a lot of goals. I'm not giving any betting advice. You can do you whatever you want with your money. Bayern seems really effective at attacking and scoring goals, but maybe the other Bundesliga teams are just too weak to compete against the Bavarian team. The Champions league is on another level compared to the Bundesliga. Chelsea didn't impress me at all in their Premier League match against Brighton. Atletico is a very tough opponent, but they also show a not-so-consistent performance in La Liga. PSG would definitely win against Atalanta.

The Tottenham vs Villarreal match was just as exciting, in my opinion, even though there weren't many goals scored. Both clubs showed their best performance in that match. But, of course, in any match, there will always be winners and lost, and sometimes a draw. In the Tottenham vs Villarreal match, Tottenham won with a score of 1-0. Tottenham fans were obviously very happy because their team won. Now, Tottenham has successfully secured 3 points in their first match, which will undoubtedly be a great boost for Tottenham to be more motivated in upcoming matches.

This game makes me to understand that Tottenham people know before in the last season is different from Tottenham we are seeing in this season, because the way they play to make sure they win  any game without allowing the game to be draw. Tottenham performance is what make them to win yesterday game if you watch that game from the beginning till the end, because Villarreal try all their best to beat Tottenham or equalize the goal, but Tottenham defenders did not allow such mistakes to happen for Villarreal.

After all the clubs  first game, we will now know the clubs that are more stronger in this UEFA champions league, because there is no how those clubs that won their first game will still win their next game.

No, let's think for real and objectively!
They copy pasted stuff without even thinking, and for sur, they haven't watched the game!

Pure example of signature spam material that has turned this board into a latrine where everyone is taking a word diarrhea dump!

Will Tottenham not go to Villarreal stadium to play? If the club can not win more than 1 goal at their home, it is possible that they may not be lucky in Villarreal's home when next they are playing.

Teams don't meet each-other twice and they don't play the same matches anyhow, so it doesn't matter how you won, the points matter.

Tottenham also has the advantage becuase he has defeated a team from pot 2, so tier 2, while they were in pot 3, lower. Tis means they still have 2 games against tier 1 and 1 game agsint tier 2, while Villareal has still 2 games agaisnt each of the top 1 and 2 tiers.

Villareal will still play agaisnt:  Manchester City   Borussia Dortmund   Juventus   Bayer Leverkusen
Totteham against:  Borussia Dortmund   Paris Saint-Germain   Villarreal   Eintracht Frankfurt

Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund match was 0-0 at halftime, but in the second half, every shot seemed to turn into a goal and it ended 4-4.
In the last five minutes alone, there were three goals.

This match was so interesting from the beginning to the end. Both teams played so beautifully and that match made me understand that Juventus have made remarkable improvements which confirms why they defeated Inter Milan so effortlessly. Borussia Dortmund have also been hardened by many seasons of no trophies and from the way they are going this season, it is obvious they are aiming to win a trophy. I sincerely watching the match and I admire the resilience of Juventus which enable them to draw the match.

For Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund match to end in a 4:4 scoreline draw, i do agree with you that the match was so interesting from the beginning to the end, and i miss alot of action since i didn't watch it. Juventus's current performance is commendable, and if they maintain the performance, who knows? this season they can be a team to be feared both in the Champions League and Serie A.  The dominance of Bayern Munich in Bundesliga is the reason Borussia Dortmund is yet to win trophies in recent times, and it will be difficult for Borussia Dortmund to win a trophy this season because Bayern Munich is on another level this season.

[Volgastallion]

What the hell was the games from yesterday, i mean we had so many surprises, Qarabag coming back from a 2-0 against Benfica in Portugal was the most crazy one but is not over there, USG beating PSV in Netherlands with ease was also crazy, and Juventus Dortmund game was a complete non sense, how you can allow two goals on extra time?

But, of course, in any match, there will always be winners and lost, and sometimes a draw. In the Tottenham vs Villarreal match, Tottenham won with a score of 1-0. Tottenham fans were obviously very happy because their team won. Now, Tottenham has successfully secured 3 points in their first match, which will undoubtedly be a great boost for Tottenham to be more motivated in upcoming matches.

In my opinion, Tottenham's victory in this match can be considered a gift from Villarreal because the goal was scored by Villarreal goalkeeper Junior, who was inaccurate in catching the ball, which resulted in an own goal. Of course, he must feel guilty because Tottenham won because of him, but I hope he can stay calm and be patient. Tottenham has been performing exceptionally well lately. They have truly bounced back, and even without Son, any team facing Tottenham now will certainly not underestimate them. Villarreal must learn from this experience to perform better in their next match. I also hope Junior will be more cautious in the upcoming games.

Tottenham, by the way, are surprising after how poorly they performed last season in the English Premier League, finishing right next to the relegation zone. Honestly, I didn’t expect them to be able to change much this season, the summer was too short for that. But despite this, they started very well in the English Premier League, and they also continue to surprise in the Champions League. For me, Tottenham was an underrated team. I think Bayern and PSG will win, but while I’ll probably place a bet on PSG, I’ll hold back from betting on Bayern because Chelsea can sometimes surprise. I’d rather just watch the game.

I also think it was a good match, I honestly expected Villareal to win, but they both played really well, they definitely deserved a draw, but even if it didn't happen I witnessed a good match, even if they made me lose my bet, these meetings are increasingly difficult

[Akbarkoe]

Of all the matches played, I think the most exciting match today was Dortmund vs. Juventus. Their style of play, their exchange of attacks, and the flurry of goals capped a thrilling encounter, resulting in a 4-4 draw.

Most of Dortmund's goals came from outside the penalty area. They relied on their shooting accuracy, which was impressive. Even more impressive was the crucial moments in the final seconds of the match for Juventus to equalize.

[Catenaccio]

Tottenham Hotspur surprisingly won UEFA Europa League title last season in massive doubt about their ability to compete in this season in both Premier League and UEFA Champions League but so far they have performed well enough. Villareal is not a weak opponent so beating them is a good result for Tottenham. With a new format of Champions League since the last season, any win contributes a lot to Tottenham rank and chance to go to a next phase.

They already lost two best attacking players in recent years, from Harry Kane to Son Heung Min but they seem to have good replacements for those legendary players at least so far. The season is long and all players in Tottenham Hotspur must work very hard for maintaining good performances and achieve good endings for their club in this season.

I placed three bets on yesterday’s matches: Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Benfica. All three bets paid off, even though Benfica lost 3:2. The Benfica bet was an "Early Payout" type of bet, which had the following condition: "If your team goes two goals ahead, your pre-match 1x2 selection is paid early as a win." Since Benfica scored the first two goals, the bet was settled early as a win. I don’t mind this outcome, but Benfica's defeat was completely unexpected.

Early payout? I've never paid attention to this option. Does it significantly reduce the odds compared to betting without it? If so, I honestly don't see the point (things like what happened in the Karabakh game happen once in a thousand games). It should be noted that in both the game with Real and the game with Arsenal you were very lucky. I watched the live odds and by the end of both games the odds were around 3. The teams achieved results at the very end of the games, with Real doing so while playing with a man down.

I think they considered this option and adjusted the odds accordingly making it slightly lower than the typical winning bet but higher than "draw no bet" option. Regarding Real and Arsenal  matches. I didn't watch the Real Madrid match, but I did watch Arsenal. When the score was 0:0, I mentally prepared myself to avoid making any rash decisions and crucified any temptation to cash out.

[HajiBagi]

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.

There was a transformation in Tottenham Hotspur football team this season, and it is expected Tottenham Hotspur would play better this season, so i was not even surprised Tottenham Hotspur defeated Villarreal in their first Champions League match. Tottenham Hotspur performance is commendable this season; we can see the evidence in the 4 Premier League matches they have played so far.  The first round matches of the Champions League is not enough to determine the teams that are more stronger because a team can lose their first Champions League match and still go ahead to win the Champions League trophy.

[Adbitco]

What we fail to understand sometimes is that the do called favourites most of the time doesn't even make it to the champions league finals let alone winning it. You see this Liverpool and Barcelona that you think are the favourites, just mark it somewhere, non of them will play the champions league finals this season. It's not as it seems that's why the competition is different from every other club competitions.

Just the same way it happened last season. From the beginning of the champions league last season, many of us predicted Liverpool as the favourite team to win based on their first impressions but unfortunately they were eliminated quickly than we expect without reaching the final. The new champions league format make things a little complicated but I believe every participating club this year is fully prepared. After the first round games, we may be able to measure each team ability based on how they perform in the first round. A team performance in their domestic league doesn't determine their performance in the champions league so I won't picked my favourite team based on their league performance.

But surprisingly, I didn't even thought for once that it was going to be Liverpool, initially my hopes were on Real Madrid but after several games, I just said nah, they can't make it, the season was going to be competitive. I watched PSG games, they struggled initially but picked up and that was when I started supporting them and hoped they would win it. When they were paired with Liverpool, I just had something in me that they would beat Liverpool and the rest was history.

Is this type of promo only available for single bets, or is it also allowed in combo bets? That’s nice promo by whichever sportsbook is offering it.
It’s rare to see a situation where favorite team to win goes 2-0 up but still ends up losing, especially in the UEFA Champions League that very rare.. In the prediction pool I joined, everyone picked Benfica to win and nobody predicted them to lose. Imagine having home advantage, leading 2-0 in the first 20 minutes of the first half, and then still losing the game. lol

Tomorrow morning in my country, there are too many UCL matches I want to watch.
Bayern Munich vs Chelsea
Liverpool vs Atletico
PSG vs Atalanta
What are your predictions? I want to place a bet. At least I can take advantage of this moment so I don't lose. I'll probably bet on the home team to win with odds of 1.65. Or maybe I need to add four other UCL matches. But I'm a little hesitant because my money is limited.

I wonder where you’re actually living to be saying "tomorrow." All these matches will take place in European cities and start late this evening.

As for bets, I’d go with BTTS for Bayern Munich vs Chelsea and the win for both Liverpool and PSG. But don’t take this as betting advice, make sure to make your own decisions.

Good luck.

An own goal decided everything, and after that, Tottenham focused on defending, and Villarreal play worse away from home. I thought this match would end in a draw, but Tottenham won, and it's great that they win not only in England but also in the Champions League. Today I'll be watching Bayern vs. Chelsea. What do you think about this match? Chelsea can score, and how will Bayern play? Liverpool vs. Atletico is also a good match; the visitors are the favorites, but Atletico's strong defense might be too much for them.
